Tunnel Snakes Rule!

A violent turf war between two rival factions has erupted on the station! Similar to Revolution, there are Gang Bosses who recruit other crew members to join their gang.

In order for a gang to claim victory, they must claim at least 50% of the station as territory by tagging areas with special spraycans. If the shuttle is allowed to evacuate the station before either gang can achieve this, both gangs will lose.

Gang Bosses

Your Assets

• Recruitment Pens look just like regular pens, but can be used to recruit people to your gang by stabbing them with it. They have a cooldown between recruitment that gets longer the larger your gang is. You start with one. Forgot which pen was the special one? Jab yourself with it! They cost 50 influence to purchase with a gangtool.

• Territory Spraycans are specially modified to mark a territory for your gang. They cannot be used to tag areas that already has a gang tag in it, unless you spray directly on top of the old one. You start with one. Regular gang members can use these, so distribute them to spread your influence faster. They are relatively cheap and cost only 10 influence to purchase with a gangtool.

• Gangtools are the management tools for your gang. They will update you on your gang's status, let you spend influence to purchase items, and can recall the shuttle from anywhere on the station. You start with one. More may be purchased for 40 influence each.

• Influence is gained every 5 minutes. The more territories your gang has tagged, the more influence you get. Influence is shared between the whole gang.

• Lieutenants are gang members given an unregistered gangtool. Lieutenants can do everything the boss can, and is even recognized as one, but they cannot promote other lieutenants. Lieutenants can recruit, use gangtools, and are immune to deconversion.

• Pistols and Ammo can be purchased with gangtools. They are small but they pack a hefty punch when they need to. Pistols are a little pricey at 25 Influence, but Ammo is only 10 influence a mag.

Other Notes

• You cannot recruit anyone who is loyalty implanted, or already belongs to a gang. Heads of staff, however, can be recruited.
• This is a game of subtlety as much as it is one of brutality. Making too much noise is likely to attract unwanted attention from both security and your rivals.
• Anyone can be a member of the rival gang. If any of them spot you converting crew or using a gangtool, they're sure to alert their friends. If they manage to do that, consider yourself marked for death.
• Heads of Staff and members of Security cannot spawn as Gang Bosses.
• Do not allow the station to evacuate. If the shuttle is allowed to dock with the station, you only have a few minutes before you lose.
• If you use your gangtool to recall the shuttle, keep in mind that station security (or even your rivals!) may use your recall signal to pinpoint your location. Never stay in the same spot you recalled the shuttle from unless you are willing to fight them.
• Remember that rival gangsters can be reverted to a neutral crew member by beating them in the head! Recruit them yourself afterwards and extract information about the rival gang boss's identity and their plans.

Gangsters

• Work with your fellow gangsters to take over the station!
• Your bosses can purchase weapons and other tools including special territory spraycans that you can use to claim territories for your gang. Don't be afraid to ask them for tools you think could be useful.
• You cannot tag areas that already has a gang tag in it, unless you spray directly on top of the old one.
• The more territories your gang has tagged, the more equipment your gang can afford.
• Don't let your bosses be taken in by the authorities, or worse, killed! Protect him with your life!
• Be on the lookout for any suspicious behavior from those not in your gang. You may be able to pinpoint who the rival gang members are, or even their boss! Be sure to share any intel you have with the rest of your gang.
• Don't be afraid to eliminate rival gang members. But if you can, try capturing them, deconverting them with a good few smacks to the head, and bringing them to your boss for recruitment.

Station Staff

• Protect the station and your fellow crew!
• Successfully evacuate the station to win. You will likely need to apprehend all the gang leaders first, however.
• Gang leaders can recall the emergency shuttle. Fortunately for you, doing so will leave a trace that the communications console can pick up on. Use this to pinpoint where the gang leaders are.
• The gangs are violent and it is likely that they will kill you before they get a chance to recruit you. They should be considered armed and dangerous.
• Gang Tags are used by the gangs to mark their territory. The more tags a gang has put up, the more influence they gain.
• Cleaning up any tags you see is a good way to keep the gangs from growing out of control.
• Report any suspicious activity, including people spraying gang tags, to security.
• Using loyalty implants on or beating gangsters in the head can sway them from their life of crime.
