Hello all!

After a bit of brainstorming, I decided to bring this to everyone's attention!

Godfathers are known for their influence and power. So far, Godfathers are unique in that they gain a percentage of the taxes being collected. But that's just another money hole, a passive income. This isn't anything prestigious or something to display a Godfather's power.

"You know what's the power of a GF? He can collect taxes! :D"

Now, some smarty pants might mention the GF attack and defense bonuses, but every rank has them (when we include rank differences, otherwise only Crew Leaders and Godfather  - Chairmans) - I'm talking about something unique only offered to the rank of Godfather and above!

Peasants like me need to feel the influence a Godfather inflicts on his district. Long gone are the days where the privilege to write City rules was considered an amazing thing. Nowadays most don't even bother reading them, because we have our own crew/family rules we sign to follow, and let's be honest - all crew rules are the same, with small variations tossed into the mix. I believe that a Crew Leader can also write city rules, so that doesn't fall in the uniqueness of a Godfather.

So what am I suggesting? How about being able to kidnap another person? This will produce no witness statements, the person that's kidnapped will effectively be jailed (Have no access to the game), with the exception of a chat box where he and his kidnappers can write anonymously to one another (Their names will be replaced with Victim, Interrogator 1, Interrogater 2 etc). This can be used for interrogations and whatnot.  How exactly it would work in my eyes: The Godfather forms a team similarly to how we form Organized Crimes. Teams must be a minimum of 2. 1 for driving the car, and 1 to take care of any other problems. Then, they decide on a target -> It can be any target, in any city. The Kidnapping is successful only if the combined power of the team is higher than the target's defenses. This is made so that there are extremely rare cases of a failed kidnapping attempt. In the case of a fail, W/s will be produced as seemed fit.

Afterwards, the target's game is limited to only but a chat with his adversaries for X amount of time - It should be a hefty amount, like a full day. All parties involved can participate in the chat anonymously.

Furthermore, just as the target's game is limited, so are the other X members of the Godfather's team. Their focus is only the chat window, with a few extra buttons such as to stop the interrogation (Exclusive to GF) or to leave it (Explained below)

Now, a person other than the Godfather's party that's interrogating the victim, can "leave" the premise by clicking such botton, which in effect releases him from this "jail" and can resume his activies on the MR game. A Godfather can also force someone to leave if they deem it necessary, but a minimum of 2 people must remain in the interrogation room, for the same reason as before. In that case, only the Godfather can cancel the interrogation, sedate the target, and return them to where they were. This effectively releases the victim, the Godfather and his member from the kidnapping session and they can too, resume normal MR activities.

The Godfather has the option to leave the kidnappers and return to them at a later time, but the rule of having at least 2 members active is still valid. Members leaving is a permanent thing. If the time of the kidnapping expires (Not invoked by the Godfather to release the target), the same thing happens as if the Godfather released the target.

A kidnapped target is not listed in the local listings, they cannot be shot at, but the kidnappers can be. In a case where the Godfather, or his last active member of the kidnapping team gets killed, the kidnapped target storms out of the cellar, (X people in the district get a notification) appearing at the home city of the Godfather in question (Their character is there now)

There should be a cooldown timer for kidnappings.

Another more simple idea would be to have the ability to steal money from other crew accounts. This would produce no W/S, other than a notification. I can see a workaround to this though, like hiding the money elsewhere, so this isn't really practical.

Thoughts, suggestions? This just came to me as my first thought when the idea hit me, that the Godfathers are not really showing their influence/power, other than their title next to the user's rank. You don't need to be a Godfather in order to kill a Godfather, nor a Godfather to be part of politics.
