I am sure you have all been seeing a lot of the posts lately about the new kid(game) on the block(pun intended) of the STEEM blockchain. I even mentioned it in one of my posts a couple of days ago.

I am not going to give you all of the background because I think we are all pretty familiar with what is going on lately. One thing I think a lot of people are failing to mention is the fact that the game is still "Early Access".

In my opinion that basically equates to Beta or even Alpha. There is still a lot of things to work out and a lot of stuff that is going to be changed in the future. One of the things that has most recently grabbed my attention is the idea of gangs.

This isn't a foreign concept to me. I have played my fair share of strategy games as well as various other empire building games that proliferate the mobile market right now. In fact I have been playing "Vikings: War of Clans" for several years now.

The main reason I wanted to mention the idea of gangs today is because even though the concept isn't available in-game yet, they are already forming. If you join the Drug Wars Discord server, you will see that there are already three gangs being formed in the Gangs area of the chat.

I don't know the full mechanics yet, but I have a feeling it is going to be very important and beneficial to become a member of one of these gangs as early as possible. If you have any amount of STEEM invested in the game up to this point, the last thing you want to do is find yourself on the outside looking in as soon as Gangs launch.

As of right now, I have made the decision to be part of the La Familia gang. The Cartel looks to be the biggest one, but @runicar reached out to me(and probably others) individually to invite me to La Familia. Getting a person invite means a lot to me and it isn't something that I look upon lightly.

As I said, if you have invested any amount of money or STEEM into Drug Wars, I encourage you to find your place among a gang as quickly as possible. If you want to hang with me in my "barrio" find a way to join La Familia.

That's all I have for you today. I was going to use today to enter a post into @bigtom13's Community Rewards Challenge, but I think I need to put a little more time and effort into that. In fact it might take me a day or two to craft my post for that challenge. I look up to @bigtom13 a great deal and I don't want to disappoint him with less than my best.

Here are some resources regarding the content of my post today:

Quick Tip: Don't underestimate the benefits of sending your drugs to the "Daily Heist". It can give you a small reward and it keeps your resources lower so that you aren't as juicy of a target. If your drug production is high enough you should be able to recoup what you send fairly quickly.
