Hi guys,

A simple enough suggestion this. I propose on top of the current over all taxation imposed by CLs on petties, Felonies and Drug runs, that they also be allowed to set it by individual or by rank.

This will allow CLs to reward certain ranks or individuals for a job well done, as well as more heavily tax certain levels of members or individuals for not doing as well or minor rules infractions.

For instance, a CL may wish to set it that Consiglieres pay less tribute per action than the rest of the family, or Dons pay nothing as a thank you for their hard work and loyalty. Or that Member A pays no tribute as a reward for a particularly good street post or business idea. Likewise the CL could set tribute higher for Associate members, again showing a reward to those who are made within the family, or imposing 100% tribute on a member for a week for speaking out of turn, or minor disrespect.

The tribute should be allowed to be set as a whole for the entire family, with individual tribute tweeking based on rank or per member after the base rate has been set as normal.

What do you think?

I think this is a very good idea, many CL have contest for 1 week tax free, but only a few of the members that work hard for it

I like this !!

Great idea, allowing CL's to reward the hard working members and punish the lazy.

I've actually been thinking about this recently, I agree in full this should be implemented, excellent idea!

Your suggestion is a great idea.  It would greatly help dealing with the overall management of each family.

One of the best ideas I've seen in a while.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, really warms the cockles of my heart... what ever they are.

If you like the idea i urge you to show your enthusiasm as its more likely to be implioamented if it has large support from the player base.

Splendid idea IMO. It loaths me to say that, knowing the warm affect it has on Mr Raven there. I dare say one that would be tricky to code, though?

Not that I know a great deal, or even anything, about coding, but I would assume such intricate details would be a bit of a pain to implement?

well the base code is already there what with the member breakdown and current tribute settings. I'd imagine all they would have to do is sort the member list by rank rather than name, add in a tribute box at the end of each person (similar to the check boxes for sponsor etc) plus a similar box at the top of each rank division.

Updating main tribute settings, overrides individual and rank settings. Updating the rank settings overrides the individual settins and updating the individual settings overrides what is already in place.

Great idea ..people like RH/LH are tax free, SCL's etc have reduced rates ... awesomeness!

Of course it is an awsome idea... I suggested it, all my ideas are awesome, just a pity Squishy never notices. :p

The other way you can look at this is that it;s just another way for Cl's to not work, This game is about becoming a CL and make decisions this to me would be a toll for less involvement from a CL witch defeats the purpose.

How do you mean Craig? I don't see how it it is a way for CLs to do less work, its just a way for CLs to have absolute control on what each member contributes. At the moment all members donate the same percentage as set by the CL, this would actually take more work as they could set each level or each person independantly.

Quoth this is an idea I have thought about myself and I love it!

Craig I am not sure I understand how this would disconnect a crewleader more. Setting a tax rate across the board and walking away is a lot less work than observing what people deserve a break and reward or a higher tax rate and a type of punishment.

After the way you guys explained it i could see how this would work, but it may however put new players of in a way

again its all very subjective. Whose to say a CL might not set tributes for associates at 0% in order to quickly grow their membership and encourage people to join them over another crew?

Crewleaders interact with their crew?

Quoth_The_Raven for president!

I like this idea. It makes sense because it could also give the CLs an alternate to killing people for punishment. If a person were to say something dumb but it didn't actually cause any harm the CL could punish them by raising that persons taxes. I like this idea. It should be implemented
