Hope this topic has not been discussed before..

In Mafia world, wack and demotion are not the only ways for punishment. But beating up and hospitalizing people also very useful and valid way to do it..Through this reality, my suggestion is that Admins might consider this feature and use same algorithm with pickpocketing and let the crewleaders could punish their members in this way.

Logic is simple, when you got beaten up , you go to the hospital. And stay there for a time which could vary alternatively between 1 and 24 hours. Ofcourse the difference of rank determines the exact hospitalizing time. For example if a Godfather beats a Wiseguy to the death, wiseguy gets hospitalized for 22 hours..Like i said, they even dont need to bring a new algorithm in software, they just can use the algorithm of pickpocketing feature. Difficult side of this feature could be ;

* When a person got hospitalized, they will not be able to use the tabs of 'Profit' 'War' and 'Manage', only can use 'Comm'. This might be hard to change in software

* Since this is gonna be a new feature, probably ppl will be eager to use it and attack eachother. But this thread could be removed by crewleaders. Simply its gonna be prohibited without permission.

* But most important point is, wack option will still stand even if a person is in hospital. So this feature can not be used in order to run away from a war and use the hospital as a safehouse.

- For the last, with my terrible english, I dont want to bring ideas about Success and Failure messages, lol, admins could think over it.. Thanks for reading

I like it. At the momentm the only two methods of punishment that CL's have over their members is either demoting them or wacking them. I think if there was someway of punishment other than those two that meets inbetween them, then I think it's a solid idea. I honestly don't know if the admins are willing to do this. But from me. I think it's a win. Nice one! :D

Hmmm.....I'm liking the idea, although the 22 hrs things is a bit much don't you think? It makes sense TO Hospitalize instead of kill because now you can keep making money off them.

Yea 22 hours might seem a bit cruel :) But i`m sure some assholes would do the things to deserve that. Anyway ofcourse the time interval could be determined by Admins it`s no problem tho

Maybe the person who is doing the hospitalizing can choose how long they'll be hospitalized for, like 'break an arm - 6 hours' or 'kneecap them (shooting in the knee) - 20 hours' and etc.

your idea is great Mr Jonny but im sure at this point, some will bring a discussion questioning if these kind of game features might kill the roleplaying, forum activities etc. To me, it will not..

I dont know about all of this being a good idea in my thoughts. I feel since we are all are in this for the money why not fine them instead or something cause honestly what kind of loyalty would you be building by taking out your crews kneecaps? Atleast with a fine its about you money being taken for being stupid instead of hating your crew leader for making you sit in a hospital for hours?

this is all about the way you choose to manage your crew. No matter what, in mafia world, broken fingers, kneecaps are really good way to threaten or can be used as a 'WARNING'. If you manage a football team, money fine is a solid way to punish your players, but in mafia, it`s done by leaving a broken nose mate. Period.

ok pretty sure knee capping was used more for enemies then family members and after the kneecapping they werent in any shape to be a mafioso anymore. I also am pretty sure breaking fingers was to get information out of someone again not on family members unless they were the ones keeping the secret and they werent allowed back all fine and dandy after that. Broken nose possibly that i could see being done to a family member

All of them are to be done to family members mate you know that :) Especially in case any broken rule about 'respect', no matter if you are family member or not, these ways of punishment would be applied on you. You can see the movie called 'Things To Do In Denver when You are Dead'.

I think that 22 hours is a bit long maybe 8 hours or shorter.

Like i said before, hospitalizing time can be decided by Admins. Another point is, this feature can not be placed in 'achivements menu'. Otherwise that will be a thing that needed to be completed and can be used out of its aim.
