Stance on Pickpocketing & Mugging Vol 2. Started by: Homer on Jan 07, '20 20:49

Those who disobey or mishandle themselves would be dislodged then, yes? Those bad types of MM+ would “disappear” and only those who truly earned the status would retain their button in the long-term. Those who represent the MM role appropriately and in a professional manner. 

Moreover, wouldn’t the increased risks associated with being a MM foster wiser decision-making & discourage misbehavior? Including just rumbling here but interested to hear differing perspectives. I respect PP stances, and feel fine with only targeting CAs. But, when I do I always pay back double what I earn from a PP. I usually don’t mug either. But, I see the value in initial guideline for various reasons but that’s irrelevant as I follow orders.

kaiya, I think the those are great ideas for MM but my point was the associated policies aren’t being implemented presently. Just didn’t know if you’d advocate for those changes or contributing roles as tough as you did regarding modifying the PP guideline. Don’t think every CL will view it the same way.

Monty was actually a fan of the last set of rules, it gave a little respect to those who had earned their buttons. Of course he understood that the majority of America didn't want or like this rule, but who were they to argue against the city heads in the first place? As for the Gods he always thought they were too involved anyway.

"As always there are two sides, I agree with both to some extent but more so I agree with the rule being set in place, of course I will abide by all rules laid out by those in charge but I do feel the initial ruling was the better of the two."

"This is a great ruling homer. Remind me to send over a pack of duff beer to your HQ," Chiron waved at Homer and continued, "Made men and above have plenty of income opportunities like organised crimes and better drug fronts. If they go after an associate's cash, it's not to pay for their next meal or to increase the dexterity of their fingers but to taunt the associate. I'm glad you returned their freedom to retaliate(mug) which was taken away by the communist regime. I know that mafia is no democracy but it's good to see the higher ups going with the popular opinion."

It's to bad that this hasn't come sooner as some "leaders" were killing their own Made Men over a stupid pp policy.

 

Then again I would guess those type of leaders don't really care enough for the members they have regardless of rules made or broken.

germ walked out to the to hear a discussion going on about pickpockets and muggers. He stood there silently listening to everyone that spoke keeping to himself. He mulled the things over that had been said and than thought to himself what self respecting gangster would advertise or have a tattoo that stated they enjoyed being robbed or had the same stating that they are muggers. It confused germ but it wasnt any of his business although he knew he himself would never have any of those tattoos but you could be damn sure he would mug anyone who stuck their hands in his pockets and wasnt slick enough to hide their face. On the other hand he also knew that he would definitely be sticking his hands in others pockets for a quick buck cause hes out to get his but he fully understands the consequences of his actions.

 

All the thinking he had just done gave him a headache and now needed a drink to try and forget about everything that just went through his mind. He quietly exited the crowd and went on his way.

Furious were really glad over this announcement and claps hands or his paws, and he is truly glad over what has decided in this issue.

 

Good thing homer and hope the most  of all like this so we could go on and have it good with pickpocket again and have fun with it for those who love it so much.

Kaiya, I'm willing to bet that if the tables were turned, your opinion on this issue would be much different. Fact is, you are (at least as of the last time I looked) an associate. You were pissed off primarily because the rule didn't change in your favor because you are the RHM of your family. I bet if you held the rank of Made, you wouldn't have fought so adamantly against this.

Now that being said, there are several valid points posed so far, and each holds it's own merit, however, I have seen people shot for much less than a PP. Certain made members did abuse that rule and they were dealt with accordingly.

I guess what I am getting at is I am disgusted that there is an arguement going on in the first place over a measly 15k that even a lowly gangster could make back in a single drug deal.

I'm not trying to be an ass but that is my opinion on the subject and I just couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer about this. As I said when the original announcement came out, the leaders among the Made+ will stand out among the rest but if you really want to bring about change, arguing about it here is the wrong way to go about it.

that is your opinion Randall but i guarantee you i'd fight for what i believe in regardless of my rank, that wasn't my primary reason for being pissed off actually i was pissed off in general but thank you for showing up three days late with a point of view, i won't try and pick yours apart i'll just admire it.

While doing  the robot in the streets BotFuct overheard Godfather Chairman Homer's ruling on the current state of pickpocketing and mugging. He laughed out loud as he imagined someone who considered them self a mafioso trying to steal a mere fifteen thousand dollars, as a real mobster would beat the shit out of some penny pinching pickpocket. He continued doing the robot and made creaking noises as he danced by the crowd.

Randall I would like to think the 15k meant very little and the actual issue was people being shot over the mugging. Another note dont you think those assumptions are a bit uncalled for?

Randall your opinion is yours to hold onto, but trying to publicly pick a fight with my RH in the streets after 4 days of the issue being over. shakes his head

A wise man once told me pick your battles. This issue is over why feel the need to come here to attempt to bring up the past. It appears to me that you are looking for a reaction am I right?

This was not a rule for months. It was a silent rule so to speak and I won't go into that because you know all about that Homer huh?
