Well just like the topic says, it'd be cool if we could see our hq fortifications in 3d. HQ varies depending on the purchases made in upgrading it .sort of like that game knightfight .

cheers

Text based game, 3d graphics don't fit with that.

well not exactly 3d. whati meant by that was we could see how our HQ looks like . not so fancy that we could use our mouse and rotate around the building. just 2d picture that looks 3d i meant

This game needs more pictures. I'd love if there were pictures for crimes, felonies and drugs too.

yea h that^^ pictures,images is good enough for the hq . 

I'm not trying to be a shit about things, but this is a text based role playing game. while we might have gotten slightly away from the roleplaying aspect, we're still a role playing game.its what makes MR so much different than other mafia games out there.

Maybe you should read this: http://mafiareturns.com/comm/thread/161808#563860

Also I very much doubt any member of the Player Commission will sponsor this idea. As others have already said this is a text based role playing game.

yeah true. picture's would be nice though lol. those "14" fenced wall and stuff would look so cool

This is a text based roleplaying game but primarily it is a game. And a game should provide pleasure and fun for its players. MR does that, but after you play a while you start coming back only because of the story aspect, and not the gameplay. We need more Mafia features such as rackets (which was posted), turf, profitable businesses etc. I don't see how pictures would be a negative addition, except for the fact that they would ruin the all-text aspect, but as I said, this is primarily meant to be fun.

I would honestly like to see people start to get back into the role playing aspect of the game, instead of worrying about pictures to increase their interest. The thing that drew me into this game was the whole role playing scene. Everyone was in character, people role played in the streets, in businesses, in mails. I find that to be much more interesting than trying to include graphics and making this like other games.

Roleplaying? What roleplaying? Nobody even posts roleplays anymore.

Did you even read what I said before you busted in with your opinion? You obviously did not because what I said and your response actually are in a semi form of agreement, yet you seem like you're trying to be argumentative to my post. Please take the time to read everything before you respond and try to approach these conversations with a little less attitude.

The whole point of a text based game is that is is based around text, not pictures.

Pictures of any kind will cheapen the game in my opinion, and just make it tacky to look at.

Even if it is just a 2D picture of a HQ, tacky and cheap. As for petties, felonies and other crimes, I can't express how much I'm against this.

Some suggesstions just aren't meant to progress any further than this.

As for nobody roleplaying anymore, that is exactly the problem, people NEED to be roleplaying, not looking at pictures.

I was not trying to argue with you. You said that what drew you to this game was that it included roleplaying. I just said that nowadays, no-one posts true roleplays.

Thank you Pratster. Joey, I basically said what you said, except in a more positive matter. Let me reiterate what I said...

I would honestly like to see people start to get back into the role playing aspect of the game. That statement right there clearly states that there is hardly any role playing going on. That's why it is important to read everything before commenting.

The idea of posting a thread and acting out various scenes has never really appealed to me. I don't think that it appeals to the majority of the people here any more either. I don't log in to read about your description of your clothes or to see how many times you puffed on a cigar, sorry but that is the truth. I don't hold it against the people who do like that kind of thing, but it certainly isn't everyone's bag.

Personally, I log in to see what the Godfather of New Orleans is doing to structure his city for example. I like to see how the Godfather of Philly handles an insubordinate underling or a Don from LA deals with a Goomba not kicking up enough. That to me, is role-playing. The Godfather of New Orleans is playing the role of a Godfather and doing what the Godfather of a mafia family would do in the situation that he finds himself. That is the role-playing element of the game that interests me and is of far more importance, to me at least, than whether or not he acts out a job in the streets.

I agree that this game is text, but it is so much more than the actual words typed out formally in a "role-play". By acting like the character you are meant to be, you are role-playing and that should be encouraged far more than anything else.

To the suggestion itself, I personally wouldn't mind seeing some images to flesh things out. The grey gets boring sometimes and a little image every now and again might break things up. People used to love Bubba for a reason.

Well realistic mafia roleplaying on a site where you can lose your account is impossible as it takes place just in 20's or 30's. How many "ancestors" has each of the regulars had? Roleplaying your character's daily life is suitable for a forum but not this.

Some allowances are necessary to accommodate for where we are and the medium through which we play. If you put any aspect of the game under a microscope, you can comfortably start to poke holes in it. Where as, the concept of thinking like your character, speaking like your character and acting like your character, to me at least, seems like one that will ensure role-playing.
