Family or Crew | Started by: FattyFats on Feb 12, '12 16:46 |
This is inspired by a new player to our shores who asked a simple question on IRC:
However, when you now look on the OOC side of things;
Which confuses things more. As that indicates what the original answerer to the question answered: 'Nothing. Your crew is your family. Your family is your crew.' Clearly OOC supports this view, but personally, and perhaps more importantly, I feel that my view is the most 'realistic' for Role play and In Character.
What are your thoughts on the matter? |

I think it's an issue of connotation in most cases. I look at it as everybody is in a crew but only Made Men or people with important roles are in the Family. |

I have always seen it as Made man and above are the family, wise guy and below are associates - Crew is the term for everyone the Crewleader is in charge of. The Godfather runs his cities crews through his own family. Sooo.... |

In my point of view, the Godfather is the boss of a crime family whilst all other crewleaders in the city ruled by the Godfather, are the capos of the family. |

i differentiate it more in different terms although to a degree overaps with deadlysins
to me once upon a time a family was something you became close with of various levels of as deadlysin describes but integrated top to bottom in the city, it seems always to have a function, a status for each part like a family. I differentiated a crew as somewhere that you just seemed to be working for someone but felt you were just a money maker and didnt feel much more. You would follow orders but a lot of time wouldn;t want to die for people as they meant nothing to you. |

In my opinion my family goes as far up as my "Crew Leader" and as low as made men. The godfather to me has their own family and is more like the leader of the "syndicate" in whatever city they are in.
Just my opinion. |

In my opinion the city is a family split into crews and each crew is a seprate family |

I say you are all correct in this argument. The way I see it is we all are playing a game of fantasy of what the mafia from the bootleg area is and how they are structured and operated. The thing is, everyone has their own idea of how it works and they're own imagination as to how it looks/structured. But that's one of the many reasons this game is fun. It's a little something different for everyone.
Now that being said there's a part two to my theory. Each crew leader has a different view on how things look, operate and are structured (see where I'm going with this?). Therefore each individual crew/family/syndicate has it's own vibe and it has it's very own feel, look, chain of command style...At least that's how I see it after having only two characters so far. |
