Following feedback from the original rules that were made, certain grey areas will now be addressed and ironed out by the addition of two rules:

14.) If you wish to become the right hand man of a leader in Chicago, you must have the permission of your city head, and you must join the leader within an hour of them announcing their arrival on the street.

15.) There are to be no internal authorisations to set up headquarters in Chicago, only following the death of a Chicago crew leader may their right hand man set up in their place.

Thanks Marston for clearing up these issue's. They are fine editions. A s Chicago resident already, obviously I support these notions and will do my part to help keep them enforced. Thanks again.

in regard to rule 15, x from chicago wars y from chicago.  y dies, a made non-hand member sets up  will it be chicagos problem or treated as a rogue??

Speaking from within the walls of Chicago, unless given instruction or given auth internally because of a civil war then it will be treated as a rouge and will be dealt with internally. If this scenario was to arise , then collectively the current cl's would all have to agree on a said person being authed.

So just to clarify, your answer is that as of this moment he/she would be considered to be both a rogue and Chicago's problem?

i would say yes, going off the scenario above, as long as this said person has entered the city lawfully, adhering to the rules set in the above speech. as "what happens in ch stays in ch". I would assume that if this person has entered the city and has not adhered to these said rules and ch can not deal with the threat then they would be treated like any other rouge and is fair game.

in regard to rule 15, x from chicago wars y from chicago. y dies, a made non-hand member sets up will it be chicagos problem or treated as a rogue??

To answer your question, I will quote a line of the original speech...

These rules will be enforced by the current city heads.

I think that clears it up... If you have any more questions, feel free to ask either here or send a mail to one of the city heads. I am sure they will be more than happy to answer.

Deadly smiles at the people gathered before departing.

While listening to Marston addressing the people about two additional rules of the Chicago Experiment, Mr.Adams looks at a piece of paper in his hand... written on it is the structure of one of the newly formed crews in Chicago. He almost can't help feeling the urge to laugh out loud


How convenient!

Now that life has appeared in Chicago, the entertainment begins. It will be interesting to see who steps forward as the leader of the city and who falls in line.

Bill leans against a lamp post and takes a swig from his hipflask, replacing it in his pocket he takes out a cigarette and lights it up taking into account everything being said, before turning to address somebody who appeared to be whining.

I fail to see what is convenient about it Mr Adams? The structure you are talking about would also be in violation of rule number one. If this implied structure were allowed to make another auth, who was over the age of 35 days and had used the extra time to accumalte a larger number of bodyguards and fire power then this would unlevel the playing field. The whole point on these rules and regulations been put in place was to give all those eligible a fair chance, and people should not be seeking to change that. Don't be sour, Mr Adams.

Bill, you're having problems with my high pitched voice? Not everyone has a deep smokey voice like you...

Mr.Adams points at an old gunshot wound in his neck

Maybe I'm being speculative with no proof here. So I will restate my opinion...

I find it rather strange that rules are being added to an experiment when it has already started (read: first family has already set up shop in Chicago).

15.) There are to be no internal authorisations to set up headquarters in Chicago, only following the death of a Chicago crew leader may their right hand man set up in their place.

Believe that answers a random made man setting up in chicago after the death of his/her family

Well I do apologise if I was slightly mistaken, it sounded to me that you were implying something else.

However, on this new ruling and the apparent obsurdity of the rules changing after the beginning of the experiment, the current city heads are responsible for the overseeing of this competition and for enforcing the rules. Therefore, as it is their competition I'm sure they will continue to introduce and rules they wish in order to maintain the levelest playing field possible.If you feel that this is wrong, then please proceed to either tell someone who is interested in your point, or even rank up, take over a city and start your own experiment. I mean all this in the kindest way possible, of course.

I personally think there is too many rules on the city, don't think it would be anyway as fun as the Las Vegas experiment.

That's just my two cents on the topic.

Walks off into the moonlight.

I think the idea behind this whole "experiment" is about making this thing of ours grow, while trying to populate the empty cities, starting with Chicago. Not so much about watching people slaughter each other, it's a test to see if people can actually work together to further their goals and make their city prosper, Mr. WarPath. If there were no rules and it was a free for all, we'd probably already have 10 families there shooting at each other, that wouldn't help any of the cities in the long run.

I like the fact that this was organized to minimize casualties, not sure why everyone is crossing their fingers for some action, it's not like any of our cities other than the Chicago families will be involved in the shooting if there is any.

Mr. Adams, rule 14 is just an extension of rule 2 to clarify it further, not so much adding a new one, it helps the new RH and the CL to organize it so that they're both around at the time of the announcement being made and both can move together if allowed to do so by their current leaders. 15 is just to make sure people know that if the RH decides to set up shop in the case of his or her leader dying in Chicago, they are not seen as a rogue by any of the current families outside of Chicago, and thus no one will shoot the RH for picking things up where their leader had left off, that is unless there's still an ongoing war between the families in Chicago, I'd assume the RH and their members would keep fighting after opening the new HQ or they'd make peace with the families in Chicago and try to prosper, and that's really only if the RH makes it to the point where they are able to acquire an HQ.

If there were no rules and it was a free for all, we'd probably already have 10 families there shooting at each other, that wouldn't help any of the cities in the long run.

That's the point they are supposed to fight eachother over Godfather.

The rules in place give no-one a significant advantage, the winner will have to excel tactically using initiative, diplomacy, shooting and manipulation. The competition cannot simply be bought, nor can success be instantly derailed by someone only talented in the art of the gun. It should prove interesting to watch once the drama begins, and we should end up with a worthy champion at the end of it...

No one ever said they have to fight each other for Godfather. Killing isn't the only thing that makes us Mafiosi, WarPath, if that was the case we'd be common criminals and not organized mobsters. If they so choose they can come to an agreement of who gets to become the city head and in the end, the Godfather of Chicago, if all of the ones in agreement survive long enough to make that happen.

Only time will tell which path they choose, most of them have about 3 months or more to go before they can even get there, it's a long time, and if it's like you said "That's the point they are supposed to fight eachother over Godfather." Then in my opinion we'll never see a Godfather in Chicago, as everyone will keep getting shot by someone else before they even get close to it, in this experiment I believe that diplomacy will get them to survive a lot longer than if they went in guns blazing, but we'll see I guess.

I am really happy to see this initiative for Chicago, it will give people whose bloodlines have never had a chance to prove themselves. It is also an opportunity for those whose bloodlines have lead before to set up outside of the friendly circles and go it alone.

I am truly excited to see what happens with Chicago

The young man smiles as he slowly makes his way back to his daily routines

chicago sees its first blood spilled.  longer than i thought tooo
