TEF vs OTP

	The Elite Few	Own The Pavement
In one line	A low-drama family of skilled outcasts	A loud, unstable swarm
Leaders	Sweets and Panda	Flauntive
Values	Skill, control, community, accountability, loyalty	Quantity, clout, money, fear
Roster	Small on purpose, invite-only, members vote	Open to anyone
Look	Clean and coordinated, pastel accents	Loud high-contrast matching decals
Home turf	The docks, quiet routes, TEF meets	Swarmed meets, back alleys
Respect from	Clean driving, orderly meets, practical builds	Public wins, stunts, crime, rising to bait
Cost	Slow. Reckless chases drop it sharply.	Heat, police attention, TEF’s trust
Biggest fear	Becoming big, messy and loud	Being irrelevant

Respect, not membership

Each crew has a respect meter per player. It unlocks dialogue, event invites and better jobs, and changes how members talk to you. It never puts you in the crew. Joinable crews are always player-made.

Both can be high, at a cost

OTP work raises heat and TEF notices. A clean streak earns TEF nods and OTP calls you soft.

Respect tracking is planned; in the alpha you only meet both crews at the end of Chapter 0.
