"They outnumber us 5 to 1, folks!" -- Basler

A group of beings bound together in common purpose. Gangs can be organized, like criminal gangs or military units, or informal groups like angry mobs or animal packs.

• Surround or isolate individuals through strength in numbers
• Shout down or bully a lone voice
• Bring a variety of skills or resources to bear on a problem

"Sounds like fair odds to me. Have at you!" -- Emory

The strength of a gang is in its numbers. Without a strong leader, the gang obeys its collective impulses. Individual members can be isolated and confronted.

• Have competing impulses or mixed sympathies or agendas
• Fall apart if a leader is weakened or shamed
• Follow a new leader or impulse that better matches its agenda
