| I really think that this idea is a real good one and it would be a welcomed addition to the game, in my eyes at least. I hope the Admins think this one over :} | |

I think you may have been on another mafia style website to get this idea, sounds alot like the things they do on there, can't be all bad i suppose, but how would it work, would you mug everyone in the city at the same time, or what ? |

I believe that is the jest of the whole idea. At least on the "local" end of it |

| Aye but if you hit a federal bank they have most of the other banks money on them so you would get more than 10%. I would say if you successfully rob a federal you should get at least 50% of the money in the bank. | |

incendia, if you think about the federal level, that's MUCH more cash involved (bank accounts for 300-400 people). so 10% would still be a large sum of money, but since it's spread over everyones bank acount, it isn't as deep a hit on your pockets. where as a local account the hit would be bigger because there are less people in that area. If you knock off the local bank of LA you only effect the people with money in LA (usually around 50-75). over all I think it would benefit the game very well. the more people in on the bank job the better your chance of success. the only concept that might have a problem being introduced is the safety deposit box. That would really be the only major sticky spot on the whole concept. Does any one else have any ideas on this topic? |

Okay, give me time and maybe I'll hammer our some ideas from my brain, but for the most part I really like the idea. As A1 and Ganelon said, it needs more RP into it. It definitely needs to be up there on the "risk factor" gauge. Not quite as large as the GF gauge, but close. You should only be able to do it to high ranking members who are at least rich, and the "leader" of the bank job a certain rank, etc etc. Again, I'll hammer out the details, I'd just like to cast my vote for this. |

I dont think the risk factor should be that huge. But there should be some risk. I guess some Roleplay would be needed. I completely agree with the Leader needing to be a certain level. However i disagree with the only certain peoples accounts being robbed. When you rob a bank you just grap what you can not pick certain accounts to rob so it would be like that here. Everyones bank account should take same hit, be it 10% or whatever. |

I dont think the risk factor is high enough... YOUR ROBBING A FEDERAL BANK, are all the guards just sleeping....i think the death toll should be well higher... And a 15 jail time are you kidding... you just got caught robbing a federal bank try maybe a 30 minute sentence with no possibility of being broken out... but those are just some things i noticed... more review to come... |

SORRY accidentally tabbed .... there is a 100% chance someone will see atleast one of you... i like the idea of the w/s posibly not revealing everyone.. but someone will always be identified... so that makes it for certain someone is going to die... if i was a CL and a mademan robbed my account, DEAD, i dont care if it was my MadeMan, DEAD... seems a little crazy to me.. but hey as long as i dont get involved then im ok right! |

| There is never a 100% chance someone will identify you. Especially back in the time period this game was set in. Only if someone is count right away do they ever get identified. Even in our own age the Successful bank robber is rarely ever identified. And Robbing banks is not as difficult as you all think. Yes its hard, but you mostly only hear about the tards that tried to rob and get caught. Not the successful ones that planned it out. Shit a local bank around me was robbed a few years back by a couple of teenagers(they think) and they where not ever caught. | |

Then it sounds like your ability to get away unnoticed should be linked to the RP portion of the Bank Job. If everyone just springs into action, then you'll probably all get caught. I don't think it should be a coded death upon failure. Or maybe a slim chance. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the time period of the game you weren't killed for robbing a bank. Just lots of jail time. I like the idea of not being able to be busted out. Perhaps have a chance of lower jail time but no bust out, or high jail time with higher guards, but have the ability to be busted out. The former being like... solitary confinement. The jail time is tricky, though. too short and the reward becomes better than the risk. I think it's a great idea, but the RP part of it needs to be implemented, and therefore is the most daunting of the tasks. |

Maybe... maybe not... It depends how solid it is... So far, some of these ideas are just not possible, or ridiculous... This should be the most complicated feature on the game. Then chances of getting away from robbing a bank should be 1%... The negative should HIGHLY out weigh the positive. So far there's too much positive, not enough negative and some crazy ideas. |

| Ganelon yes it should be risky but why should it be certain death? that doesn't make any sense. | |

I didn't say death, by game, but you will definitely be killed by another character as you are trying to steal 'THEIR' money... I doubt if you fail you'll be left alive. |

Let me add another slight detail you all seem to be overlooking... As Ganelon has said the bad needs to GREATLY outweigh the good... ive heard some of you say that back in this time people got away rather often... well guess what.. we arent talking about some small town bank here.. think about it.. you trying to rob a bank in one of the 6 BIGGEST CRIME CITIES in America, not fargo north dakota but CHICAGO, PHILLY AND NEW YORK etc. You dont think the local Don is gonna have a few boys hanging around the place he keeps all his money... and for those who keep adding suggestions, thats nice and all but i have YET to see a fesible plan for executing this said bank robbery... once you have a REALISTIC AND PLAUSIBLE outline.. THEN suggest tweaks and mods for it.... |
