This is really a simple suggestion - not sure why this is no longer done.

When someone drops/buys out of your crew, you should receive a personal notification. I was told that this used to be the way it was done but was changed (not sure why). 

Pros: 

More realistic (if someone denounces and leaves your gang you're going to hear about it)

alerts you to possible security concerns regarding ex-members

Cons:

None that I can think of...

Let me know what you think.

I think this should be implemented for obvious reasons. For example, alerting the CL when a possible rogue (should the CL be on at the time) is about to set up.

This was changed to be more realistic and to emphasize actual organization on the part of the crewleader. If someone up and disappears without leaving a notice, it's up to you to figure it out or actually, you know, notice that someone in your crew is absent.




I don't think this needs to be changed in the least.

While I'm anti-rogue, as much as anyone, this would take out too much of the guesswork.

Pros:

"More realistic (if someone denounces and leaves your gang you're going to hear about it)"

I don't see that as a pro, I know that's what you would think being more realistic but in real life if someone had got up and left it would have too the mobsters awhile to realise that person was actually gone.

So I see the way it is now to be more realistic.

took*

I have been a crewleader both when this notification was shown, and now when it isn't.

When it was shown, it almost completely removed the surprise of a rogue, and almost entirely destroyed their chance of doing anything.

I much prefer that leaders have to pay attention to their crew counts, and that it isn't as easy as getting a personal to spot a rogue.
