I have thought about alts but I would answer So What?I want to link the two worlds : the world of the North and the world of the south=> more interactions between players means greater game
if you want to link the world then act like you do, help people do quests in north, maybe help to taxi them if they respawned in "wrong" position after death and etc. Promoting yourself doesnt sound for me like interaction with other players :>
=> that's why I said: vote "yes" or "no"=> if your gang is appreciated (through your actions) by other players, than they will vote for you=> and if not enough "yes" votes=> no reward
gangs have so much allies that they could act like biggest assholes and still vote themselves as saviours of the town. Thats what i meant by promoting yourselves.
But for other gangs which won't have enough guys
The gang collects an extra amounts of caps, items, slaves or mercenaries Go to Den=>Talk to Metzeger=>You will see a new line in the dialog=>"Vote for the gang"=>"Yes"or"No"=>whatever the wastelander has voted, he will be rewarded by 500 xp+a leather jacket=>If the gang gathers at least 30 votes, he will be granted some very interesting amount of caps, items, slaves or mercenaries
