We use often the idea of gangs and the idea of "ours/theirs".
While Ours/Theirs have very clear and nice explanations in forums, the explanation of gangs seems to be a lot more unclear.
I've seen 3 ideas about gangs and I was curious of how other members here think of this.
So looking at translations around and what we can see from other members one idea is that the gangs are made in similar way to Ours/Theirs division. From Self(Rob Wealth and Friend) with Seal/Resource(Direct/Indirect).
That is set against with Wealth and Officer.
Output can be on each side.
Basically making them same as "Ours/Theirs" concept.
Wet and Dry earth are different gangs, depending on DM.
Chou will belong to the cold gang in any case.
Using this Water and Wood can make a gang.
Another idea is that they are made based on the elements.
Cold gang:
Water/Metal/Wet Earth
Hot Gang
Wood/Fire/Dry Earth.
Using this we can't have a gang of Water/Wood.
(as water will be part of the cold gang, while wood will be part of the other one)
Using this Resource can also end up in the other gang. But that is in the higher approach as well(as dry Earth will be Resource for Metal and still in the other gang).
Another approach would be similar to DTS, where the idea is that Gangs are formed based on nearby elements that produce or is same as elements nearby it. In that sense if we get water and wood near each other it will form a gang because of proximity. Usually with some movement needed for it to "get coherent".
In all of these situations, however, resource isn't necessarily part of DM gang, as again the example of Metal and Wet earth. However, in some Water and make gang with Wood, while in others it can not...
Looking at the old Puppy examples I can't find example where the gang was Water/Wood. (so DM was Wood and there was text about gangs). I also can't see explanation of what "gang" is, we can see its grouping of elements, we can see distance maybe doesn't matter(although that may be up to phrasing) and we can see its used a lot seemingly with connection to Ours/Theirs. But that seem to be it.
I think only, Fireoperator seemed to be using the second approach where the gangs are somewhat set by itself and we just see what falls where...
I'm wondering of what members think here.
