player-driven organizations

[TheCalcaholic 0]

I really like the mod so far, and I often think about the potential it has if it's development leads into the right direction.

I think one thing that should definitely be dealt with is advanced player interaction under which I don't understand primarily emotes and stuff, but encouragement for like player driven organizations. It's a great vision to have some day some gangs or paramilitary organizations which are player-risen and -lead, which you can enter and maybe reach ranks or whatever...

So what would be the motivation to found such a group? Well most obvious this would be primarily solidarity. It would be easier to find friendly players to loot a town or something; it would be possible to store public ressources (which are accessable to members of the organization), they could more easily do trading supported by the safety of an official base (which people could securely enter depending on the organization's fame or infamy)...

But to enable something like this, it would be very helpful to give some opportunities in the game mechanics.

For example solidarity would be much easier with an groupintern voip, so one can call for help if needed.

Furthermore it would be great to be able to create something like barricades (not like the barbwire where you can shoot through) to secure areas that can be used as base.

An interesting idea would be to have some places that offer controls over unique elements of the game (for example a broadcast station or a computer with a player database [maybe setting up some kind of law enforcement?]). There could be power struggles between organizations for those places.

So far my ideas; I'm looking forward to hear your opinions. :)
