hhmm, I think not everyone get my msg on this one, I'm not telling the cls how to run they crew, I'm just saying its weird seeing Bosses and Capos without a crew of their one, if you see into RL mafia, Capo got their own crew like 4 or 5 peeps.
and you should separate the meanings of crew and family, a family can contains a number of crews in it, lead by Capos.

and I know its not going to be implemented, cause its too complicated all I want is to throw it out out there.

PS In my opinion I think you shouldn't just made peeps base on their tribute, but base on their loyalty because tribute doesnt mean that the man is loyal, if tribute considered as loyalty to the family, there weren't going to be any rogues.

Overall I think it's a good idea. But honestly, to ask the Admin to basically change such a major role of the game would be like asking them to...well...I can't even think of something!

Also, for them to change the coding and whatnot, it would also be difficult to go through and change every single of the 800 or so profiles, don't you think?

In my opinion, the only way this would work, is if there was a reset.

Although i agree with most of this idea... the change is way too major for it to be implemented. And... this would be a whole different game, the is only so much that can be done in order to make things more realistic. But i dont think i will ever see the real world mafia reflected here. The change would be too major, and there are too many players for it to work in my opinion. People would get bored.... because after this, there would'nt be enough high ranks to please everyone. This would take it to the other extreme of the problem. One thing for sure though... i always felt a little weird about the rank of consigliere. Just like Jin commented in another thread, a consigliere is an advisor... not really a rank carrying mobster. Consigliere is one high rank too many, in my opinion.
