Why not adopt the werewolf-like option of minimum number of players 
based on options selected.  If the option is for 3 gangs, then the game 
requires 6 players.  After that, the join command puts the next two 
players in a "holding cell" until a third joins.  If the game starts 
with two players in the holding cell, they don't get to play that game.

I like the option of selecting your own gang name.  Maybe when people 
join with an alias, you join with alias and gang name.

So, the challenger joins with a gang name.  If the second person joins 
with the same gang-name they join your gang, else they start a new 
gang.  Once the option-setting number of gangs have been created, new 
gangs are rejected as an error in submission.
