The coding isn't done yet, but the design is. So comment on the design while I smooth out the code.
tldr; Gang mode rewrite to follow my original vision: Slower and longer rounds with less deathmatching, and a resource both teams have to fight over
NEW OBJECTIVE: CLAIM HALF THE STATION AS TERRITORY
- Gang bosses can spawn special spray cans that can be used to tag areas
- Any gang member can tag areas.
- Gang tags must be removed before another one is placed in the same area
- Game mode no longer automatically ends when the boss dies. It now ends when either the station evacs, or one gang claims more than 50% of the station areas
- Boss can promote gangers into his lieutenants, which basically means adding more bosses
- Lieutenants can do anything bosses can except promote others to lieutenant
NEW RECRUITMENT TOOL: PENS
- Recruitment pens replace flashes
- Looks exactly like a pen. Stab people to recruit them.
- Recruitment is silent but obvious to the perceptive (Causes a brief seizure)
- Cooldown between uses that gets longer as the gang gets larger
NEW TOOL: GANGTOOL
- Replaces the recaller device. Can still recall the shuttle.
- Provides overview information about the gang (membership size, income amount and time)
- Can spawn pistols and ammo
- Can spawn additional recruitment pens
- Can spawn additional gangtools (For personal use, or promoting a single ganger to lieutenant)
NEW CURRENCY SYSTEM: NAME IS WIP
- Gangtools purchase items with new currency with the placeholder name "Supply Points (SP)"
- Supply points are collected every 5 minutes. The more territory a gang has claimed, the more points they get.
- Supply points are accumulated per-gang. Having more gangtools does not intrinsically give you more points to use.
Reorganizes all flashing to use the same mob proc 'flash_eyes()' (welding tool use, flashbang, flashers, laserpointers, etc).
Fixes making sandstone not stacking the result sandstones on the floor.
Sandstone, grass tile and carpet tile now look for other incomplete stack on their creation location to try to put them all in one stack (exactly like wood planks).
Fix typos.
Remove banglet var from all flashbangs, making flashbangs from clusters behave exactly like the other ones.
Renames eyecheck()proc to check_eye_prot() and moves it to mob/living level, elso creates check_ear_prot() for checking ear protection.
Also removed some mob vars like sdisabilities and merged the usability
with disabilities
Removed need for mutations var, they are not handled in dna
Removed blinded var, now its handled by eye_blind being bigger than zero
Ands lots, lots of other shit in files that used mutations
- Reworded intercept report to discourage security from inadvertently causing a gang to win.
- Recaller use is logged
- Made the text explaining membership visibility more visible
The first of many. Most caused by horrible merge-related accidents.
- Gang converts are no longer revolutionaries
- Revolution controls show up in the TP again
- Gang added to game_options.txt defaulting to 0
- Clarified some help text strings
-Jobbanned players will now get replaced by a ghost that is not AFK, has it toggled on in preferences, and is not jobbanned itself
-Procs that have to do with spawning an antag will now check if the candidate is jobbanned before picking them
Hopefully nothing went wrong but you never know.

Adds formal uniforms, a black tango dress, and a professional black suit
(with added Memorizer for maximum CIA spookyness). To do: make this
stuff orderable from cargo, and add some of it to the lawyer's closet.
Works pretty well. If it can't GC something, it'll just del() it and be done.
Speed is amazing, holy shit.
New procs you should be aware of:
qdel(atom/movable) - sets up an object for garbage collection. Call this rather than del(atom/movable).
atom/movable/Destroy() - called right before the object is GC'd, so it still has a loc. Also called if the object is del()'d.
new controller - garbage.dm has all the details on this. Basically it nulls all references on GC'd objects and force del() them if necessary.
Generally speaking, objects should use Destroy() for behavior prior to deletion rather than Del(). You should also always call the parent so the object gets the right gc_destroyed var set.
ISSUES:
Tries to GC mobs atm. This actually works for new players, not so much for humans/monkies/simple_animals/anything. I'm guessing it needs to clear out their mind and HUD and maybe other things.
Gibbing is really bugged. It works, but the overlays just sit there for awhile and ugh. I'm very tempted just to del() mob/living and mob/camera and call it a day.
qdel() equipment doesn't unequip the item.
Pipes don't generally GC correctly. Debugging suggests they get referenced in many pipenets and that isn't cleared properly. However some do work fine. Need assistance here.
Bots don't GC, probably in the radio controller.
Lots of other shit doesn't GC but it's hard to find them because of the pipe spam.
I think I'm calling Destroy() twice by accident.
