So the One rank Rule Is simple It Based off The Real life Structure so instead of having rank's  where everyone could be you can only be one approved of by the godfather of that family Consigliere is someone who you trust with you life and he meets with other familes during conflict to try and calm things down before they get out of hands also he gives the Godfather Adivce for the family

Underboss runs the capo's the underboss gets a cut of everything and passes up to the Godfather if the Godfather Dies or Retire's The Underboss become's the New Godfather of The Family

Capo's Are Made Men Who Have Crew's that work for him  Capo's must make sure their crew's are keeping money flowing into the family Capo's have any control over everything the crew's you have to get permission from the Capo To Get permission to Kill anybody and The Capo has to get Tell The Consigliere about anyone requesting To Kill someone ealse in a Different Familes And Then The Consigliere tell's the GodFather then its his Choice to give the go ahead Capo's also can start their only family if They get The blessing from the Godfather

Lieutenant's  (Right Hand man)  Are The Capo's Right hand man of the Crew he Let's The Capo know what's going on with the crew if they have any beef with anyone or if some of the crew aint making end's meet and lets the capo know who's been working hard to get moved up in the book's So other words is lieutenant's are the crew underboss If a Capo get's the Blessing to Start a Family The Lieutenants Would Become Underboss 

Soldier's (Sponsor's)  are Out Recruiting Associate's For the Family Teaching them The Rope's To earn Money For the family and If a capo Decides to make A family he can Pick A soldier to Be His Consigliere or If The Godfather Keep's him With The Family He will be Bumped Up to Lieutenant Soldier's Are Reliable For Their Associate's They must Makesure They Don't start any beef with other familes without a reason They Vouch For The associate They Can loose their life Because of The associate  but Can not Give out the Okay to kill Only Lieutenant's and Uppers Can With The permission of The Godfather

Associate's Are people who are trying to prove their self's To The Family So They Can Become part of a crew And one day becoming Made In this thing of our's  They are taxed for job's they do And keep money flowing thru

I always liked the idea of this but I would want specifics to them all and how hierarchy would work.

Your idea is interesting, but it probably wouldn't work in MR. People want to achieve the higher rank, most players would probably be stuck at the soldier rank or lieutenant rank forever and they wouldn't like that. Right now, everyone feels that if they put some effort and manage survive long enough they CAN potentially reach the rank of Don.

If the rank was associated with running a crew, then everyone who wants to achieve a high rank would need a crew. Right now, we already have lots of crews and lots of empty spots and recruitment is difficult. With this system, it would only get worse.

The reality is that the roles are actually determined by the community that's playing. Even if you have that idea of hierarchy and permissions it wouldn't work out cause the players would run it differently and bypass the ranks' roles. But it's nevertheless an interesting idea and you seem to have put some thought into it.

That is why I said it would have to have specifics CookieDealer such as only soldiers can receive OC invites, LT's take kick ups, etc.. etc... special things for each rank to make them playworthy depending on the person.

I predict this would kill the game. 

Disclaimer, I would love to see this work. But I feel that, as others have said, with the ability to advance beyond a certain point limited to between 6-10 people per family, Either you would see far more extra families spring up, thus making the underboss and capo positions 100% less important, or too many people would realize that they have stalled out and leave, hurting the game.

Depends on how its done in a sense Ralph,

Albeit a different game MafiaLife had nothing but rank structures and full on limitations and that game thrived for years until admins made some poor choices.

I definitely think it could last here in a way but things would have to be added and changed around it to make it work

Perhaps silence, but i get the feeling that to prevent massive loss of player by stagnation, the game would have to change to the point that it would nearly require a reset. and THAT, would be bad 

Not entirely because you can always implement things as certain things occur like if a huge site wide war lays waste and has 3-4 CL's left you can implement big portions if they agree to it.

You don't have to implement everything all at once.

So, it seems the only real problem people have pointed out so far is the lack of variation in ranks. So how about tiers of the soldier rank?

Soldier I

Soldier II

Solider III

I think 3 is plentiful. Similar to our ranks above Made we currently have, same advantages (better OCs, new felonies, etc) ... However, you're just considered a "Soldier" still.

This new "One Rank Only" is really more RP and much more fitting, IMO. I agree people want to rank and reason to keep pushing and it would be stale without something between "Member" and "Leader" ... So why not tier it? They have/had tiers in mafioso even now, it's just not labelled anything like it is on MR, they just know who's got a bigger set of bollocks. Soldier I/II/III just shows everyone how big your bollocks are ... or something to that effect, right..?

if anyone would like to help me brain storm on the way this could work I would Really Appreciate it I got More Idea's But my head is scatter right now so it' hard to think 

You mean like these two threads?

Or we could just let leaders design their structures themselves to suit their needs and call it a day...

we coud I just wanted to give a idea and see what people thought

Seems like an intresting idea if perhaps some smaller change in it in some ways, over all it seems good though.

Did you play itm ?? This was how that game worked.
