I would like to consider myself to be Disciplined, but I'm probably leaning more toward Enforcer. What I would like to think of myself is irrelevant though. It is the perception others have of you which is important. There are several Mafioso running around who consider themselves far more important than they are. People who consider themselves to have skills and abilities far beyond those that they are perceived to have by others. It is the leaders of our world that shape our future. It is their opinions of you which matter. You want auth? Believing yourself to be a fine diplomat and incredible public speaker is irrelevant. The opinions of those in a position to make your dreams come true are all that matter. |

The disciplined seems the most desirable type of mafioso to be, likely to get the farthest in this world. However i feel that they are also likely to be a rare breed, most who have resorted to a life of crime are more likely to be amoung the activists or enforcers and it is amoung these catagories that i would place myself. |

I like to think of myself as being a disciplined person. I do not like violence unless it is absolutely necessary. I tend to give people a chance to prove themselves to me. If they fuck up it's a different story. I tend to be a talker, not a shooter. If I can solve an issue with words that will not result in death I will opt for that instead of the other road that can be taken. However, there are times that there is no other choice and a war becomes inevitable. This does not mean I will not defend my family, be them Java Cartel or Mocha Syndicate. I'd even go to bat for the Riot, because to me they are family still even though they are in Detroit. Plus, Mariettta's kinda hot and we love her cupcakes here in The Java Cartel. So no, Blackhand, I am not an activist. Not all Dons are. We are our own person. Some are activists, some are enforcers, some are disciplined. Our rank means nothing when it comes to how we react and who we are. Bite the hand that feeds you and you can be sure you'll get a kick in the ass back. |

I really hate labels. They are about as valid as universal truths. A wise mobster reacts to a situation based on the circumstances, not based on his own emotions or personality. Each type of situation calls for a different sort of reaction. One scenario is a low ranked street vermin decides to give a Boss some hassle. How should that Boss react? According to your labeling system, a pacifist Boss will react by trying to reason with the punk. An activist Boss will put a bullet in his ass. Which is the wiser reaction? Obviously, the activist reaction. A Boss can not be seen as weak, or being a doormat, taking shit from some nobody. Another similar scenario, the same Boss is getting some hassle from the Don of another family. The pacifist Boss will try to reason with the Don. The activist Boss will put a bullet in his ass. Which is the wiser reaction? Obviously, trying to avoid a huge family conflict and talking things out would have the better end result. Of course, that all depends on everything that is said and done during the verbal conflict. The Boss would not want to cower and be seen as someone who could be pushed around in the future. Even in these broad scenarios, varying circumstances must be carefully considered. The same scenarios can call for different reactions based on the smallest of details. Those who come out ahead all of the time are those who have mastered this art. |

Noob thinks to himself as he over hears some people talking about how they can pigeon hole themselves into different categories. He walks into the crowd and has his say... I do not think I can fit into one of your descriptions, or maybe I can fit into them all? Ive not yet decided. I flow between each description, depending on each situation. I will give you a quick example.. You attack my family, I'm not going to come talk to you and say, "Oh Hi there, did you mean to do that, no? oh ok no problem" , im going to get my guns out and send you a death message. On the other hand, if you come Pick Pocket me, and I'm in a good mood, I will prob come ask you for the money you just stole. So it really depends on my mood and what you have just done to how I will react. |

I like your takes on that, FlyingPig and Noob. Admittedly, I had not considered that different scenarios may change your behaviour and so you flit between what I have defined as the different types of Mafioso when it comes to violence. Although, it is possible to fit your scenarios into my design here. You both say that the person would react differently but have I not taken that into consideration? I'll recount one of the aspects of The Enforcers to elaborate on what I mean.
If a petty thug was giving an Enforcer type Don shit, then the Don would use their weapon to solve it. But if it was another Don, then they'd be able to recognise that words would be more appropriate, therefore adapting to the scenario. Also, it is the same for the Disciplined type my friends. Though they lean more to using words to solve situations, they are similar to Enforcers and adapt to the scenario. I quote:
Or if these aren't your cup of tea, then maybe you are Drifters, flitting between choosing violence and peace, not so measured in your approach. Denver smiles and inclines his head in their direction. Everyone has their place, I like to think that those who can recognise it are the ones who will do better in our world. Tags are unavoidable so why not acknowledge your own tags and work on changing the ones you don't like? |

You definitely forgot the Gambling type.... The people who constantly loose their money. These people might go a few days without gambling, but always resort back.... it's in their blood. There's also some (Striphe) Who will be broke every minute of every day, they might have money for a few minutes, but the first thing they do is blow it all. Even if they won 3 million, they'd be broke the next day. |

Bein' a Gemini i'm already going to be labeled hot-headed, but the way I was raised and the low class morals I've acquired throughout my life, I'd say I mostly relate to the Enforcer. I'm not crazy, and my head is on strait, but sometimes when someone fucks up it's their time to go. God puts a path out for everyone, but that doesn't mean he or she wont begin to slowly venture off of that projected path. That's when the man has to step in. Wrong decisions doesn't make everything right, even if they are benefitial to you, but if those wrong decisions are all you've ever known, in your mind their right. Figured I'd add my perspective on this whole thing, great thread. -Slug |

Mr47 walks down the street when an interesting subject catches his attention, he walks over to hear the just of what Mr. Denver had said. He waits for the others to speak before he takes his turn in defining himself I would like to believe I am... The Disciplined. These are the level before Pacifists and are able to recognize when violence is needed to solve a situation, and when physical action is appropriate for a particular offence. Sensible in their approach, these are level-headed people who are generally able to use words as a solution but will know when the offending party has made too many mistakes and will not appease the aforementioned party’s mistakes for too long. Mr47 steps down and continues on his way |

On your spectrum of mafioso personality types I would align my name between Disciplined and Pacifist. I try in all situations to be a fair man. Leading only to violence as severe punishment. Yes, sometimes those who have crossed the line need to be made example of. And peace never lasts forever. But I believe that organized crime may one day be able to be organized and not the bloody mess it ends up being. Acts of violence are always going to be needed, but if we act civil we may be able to lower the overall necessity for killing our fellow mafioso. |
