There has come up suggestions to make it easier for new players to find gangs. One suggestion that I liked was a special gang chat where players can find gangs without the risk of being assaulted. I've thought about this idea some more and simplified it quite a bit.
The result is that I've removed the requirement of having a relation with the person you want to invite. A new button has been added in the profile "Invite to gang" that can be used to do just that without a relation being required.
This can be misused in some ways but I believe the benefits are bigger than the problems. It is already implemented on the beta so please check it out and if you have any questions or concerns about this new feature please post and I will do my best to answer.
My intention is to add this feature to the current round by the end of this week if everything goes ok.
