The idea was to limit parties so people would be more inclined join gangs. There wasn't much to separate a gang from a party at that time, and people were just allying parties instead of joining gangs -- which wasn't the purpose of parties.

There's a few new perks that gangs have over parties now, so I guess it could be cool to re-add allying. I'd say limit the number of allies to one or two though.
