Why not ask the question of the "unwritten". We all know the names and we all know the key players here...

So my question is, do you feel pulled towards one side or the other? If not, then what keeps you most median?

In a game where attacks and robberies have no face but red, what prevents something from being any more than 'just' an attack or 'just' a robbery?

Interested in your thoughts!

I have friends on both sides and don't have time for the drama. Actually G, if you weren't CK, the 1st part of my statement would be untrue, not because I have anything against them, just don't know any others.

I'm a lone wolf, if your in my range and i think I can attack you, I will.

I do think there needs to be some sort of penalty if your attacked and lose, like health, less than 10% you can't attack others

By knowing affiliates, you subsequently land yourself in the grey zone?

So lets hypothesize and say you attack someone who happened to be in a crew, what then? If anything...

I'm keeping the game to myself :) Just playing.. Can bail out any time without any strings attached.
Don't like gangs anyway :)

Lot of BS lately. I am an independent and will remain so most likely.

What I have the least amount of time for - and basically don't understand is needy people who hide behind a fake forum persona to get attention......
All this quitting, coming back, quitting...yada....yada......just quit FF sakes!

Well as for me. i kinda see myself as just playing the game i dont consider myself a lone wolf or an independant. i just like to think im just a player. im rob everyone i can no matter what the affiliation and i rob people who i can't but i try anyway. i never look at a person hood or wall to look for any group affiliations the only thing im looking for is those money bag signs. if get a group of people that constantly attack me(which i dont at the moment) but if i did i wouldn't care fight losses don't affect my game play in either way. so i was never in situation where i felt pulled or pushed in any direction.

Everyone knows Tway as the serial robber. as a result of this, people are not so surprised by a successful robbery brought on by you. You have gained that rep ;)

But now what about the average low key player? How are they not consumed in the gunfire when bullets go into everything except the car seats?

totally accidental. A very powerful player helped me out long before he built a teepee in his hood and I have other Indians in my mafia from adding on iTunes early on.
I only add forum members (typically) or people in-game when we call a truce. I sent you a request for two reasons; I have respect for you and your posts, and wanted to lurk your wall and see how you were doing on the whole CK thing(don't worry, I'm completely straight and haven't been there in a while).
I think the main reason I don't have any other CK in my mafia because I get the feeling most ar below my level (144) amiright?
If remaining neutral put's me in the 'grey' area, I suppose you are right. I've posted this on a public forum so don't find it cowardly. You can always demand that your people level up and attack/rob me.

I honestly looked into that thread and walked right back out. I have friends on both sides I think. I don't fully understand the tactics there but I am amazed at the lack if civility. I will not choose a side because I have not witnessed the antics first hand. I admit to have prematurely judged sides before, but since all the drama I am completely dumbfounded.

While it is true, I pondered joining a mafia I am going to stick by myself at this time for the sole reason that I am the only one who knows how I want to play this game.

The thing is about war, is it isnt about what you rob, or how much you attack, or the sheer amount of cash and explosives you use, loose or abuse.

It is simply to make the other person know that they arangrier than you are, and that they nan do nothing abou t it.

This is why a well worded wall post, or hitting just the right tone in some smack talk is worth 50k defence.

I will be on the fence until someone does something to bring me off it. The thing is, that unless their def is so high that I can simply not attack at all, I am almost gauranteed to win, simply because I have a pathological inability to get angry, and it shows.

I'm not a joiner by nature. I don't like being part of a "gang" or having to conduct myself by anybody's rulez other than my own. I also dislike the idea of "ganging up" on others. Childish, servile and weak behavior. I don't care if any "gangs" attack me on an online game which tbh I enjoy playing, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I just disdain brutish behavior, bullying and baseless accusations. :p

when i played on my old account before i started a camper, I took no offense in the robbery or attack when I would lose 100k as a lvl 40 regular player. (which is actually quite a bit). its supposed to be fun, don't play if its not. Koralene is a prime example. It became no fun for her anymore after what happened, so she quit (and other reasons as well, of course).

I'm part of ck and nobody bosses me around it's a brotherhood that looks out for one another for the people in which u r referring and of course people in gangs r going to fight and rob people the nature of the game - the way I see it and I'm in contact with the leaders all the time and have never been spoken down to or bossed me around , I was honored they asked me to join and if anything they always accept anything with an open mind and open arms but I still have feuds with people who aren't in gangs that I have been fighting with since I started playing so for u to say those things about being a part of a crew are stereotypical u obviously not being part of one and last but not least the gangs primarily feud with each other!!

This is all a bit strange to me, as I have never seen anything in-game to suggest there even are gangs, mafias, or any of this rivalry going on. If it werent for reading the forums, I would be blissfully ignorant.

Maybe I am not important or strong enough to have trod on any toes doing TL goals (level 129, 77k IPH, 20K A/D), or just maybe most players in CC like me have no idea this sh*t is going on.

So I am to low lvl to worry much about gangs at this point but seems like when it comes to joining it is a matter of exposure.

In every gang you find some good people and some serious douche bags, therefore when deciding to join or not, it might be a simple exposure ratio how many good players you have run into verses how many douche bags...

Lonely wolf reporting in. I'm libertarian, what do you expect? :p Probably i'll get friends and enemies here and there but that's life.

Ps. Spanish epic poetry about pirates and freedom. José de Espronceda's song of the pirate and i don't want to traslate it because Shakespeare must be readed in english and La Traviata listened in italian:

Y si caigo,
¿qué es la vida?
Por perdida
ya la di,
cuando el yugo
del esclavo,
como un bravo,
sacudí.

Que es mi barco mi tesoro,
que es mi dios la libertad,
mi ley, la fuerza y el viento,
mi única patria, la mar.
