As it stands main has priority 100% for luring rats ect.. But anyone knows that a crew comes first in all business matters (100%) and of course city follows up behind the crew. (200%) Both should by law trump main in all aspects. Main is a social club and can be a bit overwhelming for many who do not partake. The stats for top talkers on a daily basis reveal as much.

What am I asking is for a baseline who agree before we can take this to a vote. Express their thoughts here. Many do not hit these forums and I humbly ask Uppers to MM this important question to their crew for those who do not read the forums.  I will.

Thank you for your time. This will be interesting. 

Izzy it's time to make a push for crew/city trumping the social thing like main. In too many instances a gangster cannot shoot but can break down the health on a Roguette for example and told in the end they do not have a gun. Aye? I know from personal experience. But back to my point crew/city TRUMPS main in a zillion years.   Too many over times are bored with lack of communication in the crew/city. This has become a known fact in the last 5 years to be nice. But we know longer.  Trivia is a social time. And that is all fine and good but how many actually partake?  Even if a good % do which do not, I have to ask how important is Trivia vs your crew and your city?

I have requested for a baseline and for uppers to have a dialogue with their crews. If this is too difficult then we have reached a stale mate and that is a crying shame.  

I hate main chat, that's where the lunatics hang around lol

First off, Wish I am OFFENDED that I wasn't mentioned.

 I agree that at times main can be...smelly. Sometimes it's just nonsense spam and it can definitely be intimidating for newer players. I, personally, would support setting the threshold higher for crew and city chat and would be happy to police it. I've always kept a close eye on crew chat and chastised users for spamming for their hustle, so this wouldn't be any different for me. But I can also see it becoming a problem for leaders/uppers who aren't as active or watchful as me.

I know this will fall on deaf ears, and I don't intend to take this conversation in a different direction, but doesn't anyone else think that the focus should be on the actual GAME?  RATs and Lounge activity have become the primary focus of everything.  In the most recent RAT event, the winner got as many +1's as it would take someone who trains a gun the normal way to do in about three weeks. I come here to play a game, not sit around and spam/socialize with people.  I enjoy strategy, interesting street threads, and the competitive nature of surviving and trying to get to the top. All of those aspects of the "game" are suffering or becoming irrelevant because people's attention is being shifted in this other direction. It's bad for the game and, in my opinion, it's a lame way to spend time. I know that I probably just wasted my time in venting this, but hopefully there are others that feel the same and with enough support we can get back to the things we enjoyed about MR in the first place.

I enjoy interacting with people, I enjoy playful banter with people, but I don't enjoy my time spent in the main chat.  In my opinion it is not right to force people into an environment that makes them feel uncomfortable, and with main being the main way to sustain a Rat it feels forced at least to me.   

I understand that socializing is a part of the game play and climbing the ladder in this game. Like life outside the game  please the right people and get that promotion. For these reasons I support giving more weight to city chat and crew chat for Rats.

I also would prefer a city / crew chat weight too. Everyone is here for their own reasons and enjoyment - however I do agree that main has it's own 'user base' shall we say. I think people that are active in the crew and city should not be penalised for not getting every in joke on main or the constant steam of randomness (maybe because of said not getting the 'in' jokes) or have had to be around for decades to know who people are -  that way main could remain as is and people that are active but differently wouldn't loose out? Erm is it loose or lose? Anyway!
