Guess this would make things interesting for sure. 

I don't follow your logic in how adding NPCs/buttons/coding will improve the roleplaying aspect of the game. 

Objectively, the most enjoyable part of this game for most people are wars/when there is some sort of conflict. How does stopping killing after a Made Man dies make the game more enjoyable? I don't think that it does. I also don't think that it is realistic. A Made Man in Philly dies in a back alley somewhere and suddenly my gun is held in place in Las Vegas?

There are lots of discussions which can be had around 200 BGs being a problem and potential solutions. I dislike any that allow any one individual to consolidate all of the actions themselves. We've already seen the terrible consequences of hustle points, jack of all trade characters negating the need for others, compounded by unlimited wealth via credits and quad CAs meaning I don't need others to acquire or sustain protection anymore, so adding another means of me being able to do things alone would not be advantageous to gameplay. It would lead to less interaction and less involvement than we've already got. 

That would be a takedown, not a war. Different things. 

In the real world in the 1950s, how quickly would someone in Las Vegas hear about a murder in Philly do you think? How long would it take for that to be reported in a newspaper? 

In your scenario where Made Man+ dies everything stops and there are no pros (presumably), conflict would then ensue immediately upon resumption. A flurry of activity, then the dust settles and the people who had more guns would win, like Vday. I think if anything that would lead to conflicts happening even less frequently and people being even more cautious, as any attack carries and even greater risk, which would result in it being even more boring for longer periods of time. 

We really need to explore ways to have people interacting more and be less risk/consequence averse if we want to make the game more enjoyable. The way to do that, in my view, would be to scale back hustle points entirely so that no single account can be good at everything (therefore needing the support of others in areas where they are weak, i.e. info), eradicate quad CAs entirely and drastically scale back the money any one player can generate for themselves (so that willing crew members are needed to work together to sustain a crew/crewleader), and make the point at which you are able to kill anyone significantly nearer to the start of an account than it is now (therefore meaning they lose less work and effort in the event they die). 

Game was way more enjoyable prior to being forced to interact with each other. Advocating for people to rely on each other even more than they are now is just absolutely insane. Distance was arguably way worse for the game than hustle points. Hustle points did not make you a better player, and has never been the deciding factor in any war.    In the real world many of the things on here would not apply, because its a game  those correlations are completely off point. 

Those correlations are the basis for the game, which is a mafia simulation. Why do anything if it isn't first rooted in the 1950s mafia and realism? 

Clearly our experiences are markedly different if you think people are forced to rely on anyone now in a world where you can access unlimited wealth and the top level of every skill without even speaking to anyone else. Why isn't more interaction better? It isn't about player quality. More people being more engaged for longer periods equals a more enjoyable game for more people. We should absolutely prioritise things that encourage that, like having to actually engage with people skilled in areas where you are weak and garnering support of many to sustain expensive things. 

More interaction also has the knock-on effect of causing more disagreements and reasons for things to happen, which is when the game is more enjoyable. 

Accounts having maxed defence, stealth and vision is never a factor in any war? Make every account completely visible, weak as piss and unable to see anyone else in the locals and come back and tell me the difference it makes. 

Distance doesn't work as intended in essentially splitting the game up, which wouldn't be terrible. 

Holster guns when some made + dies?

Imagine a full blown war starting, every time someone is popped you have to wait x amount of time before you can use your gun again.. see faster wars between snails.

I think the outside communications have killed a lot of this game too but only because the old ways stopped too.
 

I use to love getting mails feeling important even if I was just a wise guy. Now a whole city disappears and nothing maybe not even a street post because everyone that “needs” to know knows cause they are in the WA group.There is also nothing wrong with that but some follow up to the rest of the game would help a lot just a big disconnection from the top and Not everyone can make this a full time job or wants to do outside stuff and that has to be accounted for too or nobody will be left. In other online P2W games you have the Whales(hitters,heavy hrs,money) and the free to play and both sides have to matter to have a good community. Here the little guy has no shot unless their “Whale” is around and with 10 of them dropping at once what shot do I actually have why would I come back to do the cycle again just hoping in 90 days my sides shoots first. After millions and millions of dollars and hrs I don’t even get a chance to fight back 

SalvatoreGambino - I don't think this game is P2W as in pay to win - it's politics, oe.(networking with) people to win.

I bet you $80m I could mentor you and get you leading a crew within one week - if you worked hard enough.

I'm out here breaking my balls trying to prove to DetroitSimon that I can be a wonderful RHM.  Do you hear me moaning in Public about how hard it is?  Nom

Yeah its definitely not PTW.  Sure spendin some cash can make it a bit more enjoyable while playing but every account I have maxed BGs, a casino, hundreds of millions of dollars and pass out credits like candy.  I'm still not included in the real politics of the game most times, I get surprised by takedowns all the time, and let's be real max def and BGs means nothing to a determined hitter.  The real pay to win here is spending time not cash, to build alliances and trust within an organization because undoubtedly a bullet eventually finds us all and the only way to push that off a bit is to engage with people.  You can have every perk or advantage in the game it means nothing if you haven't developed a social network to protect yourself and rise to the top.

I am a no for this suggestion as written.
