Since sexyRachel is gone for 54 days here is the post for all those who want to know something about Shadow Gang Event.
Gang of Shadows is an exact copy of your gang members at the moment of event beginning (level, guards, weapon, parlour income).
They are only much better equipped with defence, so you have to fight your opponent 3-4 times for robbing their nice amount of money (please heal your guards before).
When all shadows are beaten you enter 2nd step of event when ALL!!! gang members join in collective gang fight (please be clean and not in red).
If gang boss starts attack with less than 95% of gang members the chances are high you end in defeat (and have to join again for further attempts).
Now to our desperate gang of shadows fighters who are stuck in their competition.
There are two occasions where you can end your efforts.
1. You and your gang members level up too fast and then you are not able to fight your opponent(s).
2. You have inactive gang members who are not joining the fight.
In both cases kicking the gang member is the solution ( i know that's hard to read;-).
In the first case you can rejoin your too active member after 24 hours. His/her too low level shadow will gone and you will come to 2nd step of event. Attention after the rejoin your gang member will increase your gang fighting impact in second step because his/her shadow does not take part.
In the second case you can also advance to second step. But kicking inactive/dead members will reduce your amount of members (maybe good for raid/HQ defence impact) for good. But who needs dead members in an active gang?
Post here when you have additional questions;-)
