This is a Mafia game.

So? If someone wants to make their crew a Mexican drug cartel for example, they should be free to do so.

Mafia game. not "mexican cartel".

Yes it is. But if I want to name my crew "Lopez cartel" I should have the freedom to do so.

NO offense JoeyCaresi.

Like what enkindle said, this is a 1920's prohibition era Mafia Game.

"Mexican Cartels" or whatever you call it are not Mafia

Well you do have the freedom to name yourseld as "LopezCartel" but you will not be considered as a cartel because this is a Mafia Game and we're supposed to base our role play on the Mafia. You will just be considered as "LopezCartel Family"

We're talking about the Mafia Crew Rank Tree here because this game's Theme and Purpose is based on the Mafia and not "Mexican Cartels"

So basically, you argument is INVALID

Alright, enough of the arguments. It's not necessary and isn't relevant to the suggestion at hand.

Well said Prat..ster. :D

I'm liking this idea, with Grin's suggestion being the most relevant imo. Also, kudos to Pratster on nailing the format of his one!

If the game is set in the 1920's, then the rank tree wouldn't exist as the Mafia hierarchy structure as we know it (Consigliere, Underboss, Capo) was brought to America in 1931 by Salvatore Maranzano. Prior to that, it was just boss and his men.

I suggested a Crew Rank Tree. I didn't say the modern one.

And I didn't say use the MODERN one. I only used a picture of it as an example. 

CREW RANK TREE not POST 1931 MAFIA RANK TREE.

I love this idea! Can't argue with more visualisation.

Also what Grin said has already been suggested, actually he is the only sponsor. If you like that idea as well as this one, maybe they could interlock with each other :)

Lino cut the fuck out with the amplifying and the caps. On the internet that's yelling and you have no fucking reason to yell at anyone.

JoeyCaresi, you've already made your point that you don't like my suggestion because you want to role play some mexican stuff or whatever and you've clearly lost you patience for some reason.

so please...

Just STAY OUT OF THIS AND MOVE ON.

This isn't necessary and it is indeed irrelevant.

I'm going to listen to what Pratster said now.

First of all, I like the suggestion. Not anywhere did I say I don't, I even called it very cool. I think it should be implemented. I just said that I think not everyone has to strictly roleplay as Italian mafia and I used the Mexican cartel as an example. There were plenty of non-Italian criminal organizations back in Prohibition era and mobsters such as Bugs Moran and Dean O'Banion, who weren't mafia.

For the sake of not continuing this argument, this will be my final post.

Thank you :)

Lino - switch to decaf.

JoeyCaresi's post is valid. I don't like funneling players towards things where they don't really need to be funneled, so maybe this would need a lot more tweaking to get somewhere where everyone would be happy.

I still like it, but would suggest a low priority given it is primarily a visual improvement that would just be cool rather than actually do anything.

I don't see how it would help the game apart from it being fun to look at. You don't usually need to have a tree to know who is who in your family.

The latter I think.

But who doesn't like fun things to look at?
