What do you do when your friend wants you to gang up on someone?

This shouldn't be difficult to answer. You don't gang up on the other person. The problem comes when your friend wants you to join in on hurting someone. Is this the type of friend you really want in your life? Would a true friend ask this of you, no. A true friend would try to stop you from ganging up on somebody else. Also just put yourself in the shoes of the person who is being ganged up on. Would you want this to happen to you. You have a choice to make, you can go with the crowd mentality and gang up on this person, or you can make up your own mind and not join in. The choice is yours I hope you make the right one.

How do you quit the Phoenix gang on runescape?

Once you joined a gang, you can't quit it. So before joining, choose whether you want to join Black Arm, or Phoenix. The above is wrong. If you know the spell telegrab and you are on the Phoenix Gang you can use the spell to steel the 2 cross bows and give it to the Black Arms Gang. Then you can join the Black Arms Gang.

Gang members have a much shorter life expectancy than the average American due to violence. If you join a gang, you may die young, and most likely from violence. Your life as a gang member will revolve around hurting other people. Also, joining a gang means you may end up on drugs and in prison. Is this the kind of life you want for yourself? Think before you act.
