RPG

This has been an idea that has been banging around since the dawn of the forum - a 1970's style NYC gang RPG.
I've done a little research - how does it work?
There would be a new forum which you sign up to where all the boards are divided into different locations in New York - e.g. Tremont, Gun Hill, Coney Island etc etc etc. and each location would be home to a number of different gangs using the long list from the movie script. You would sign up, give your name, the gang you are affiliated with and then you can go to the different parts of the city "posting up" your stories, or burning tags if you so wish. Of course, an RPG requires your imagination and so it requires you to be in your "gang character" all the time.
I guess there could be web pages for each of the gangs, with named leaders and you can go out on brawls and stuff on different turf.
I think these RPGs work like "interactive fan fiction" where you post what you are doing in that turf, or stories about what you have done.
If I am to set this up, could someone give me some more ideas as to how this would work? 8)
