Okay, so my thought process is this...

A fabled mafioso stand next too a lowly thug he has just caught trying to pick his tailored pockets...

BOOM

The thug is dead...

Now we all know that occasionally someone walks past, looks out of their window or turns to see the killer over the now deceased.

Depending on their eyesite will depend on how well they see the killer, if not just a blur in the far off distance...

But what if the killer looks up to spot the witness looking back at them??

Surely the killer would want to clean up the mess??

In reality, do you think there is a value add in an ability to see either

1. how many witness statements were captured,

2. based on your own vision the pottential to see who actually captured your witness statement

From this perhaps people who capture WS can have an option (like Mug) to "Take Revenge"

And the Killers who spot the WS holders could have an option to "Silence the Witness"

I know this is quite a big ask, but I think it could work off current math...

My question to everyone else is... do you think this would be a nice touch/addition?

I like it.. it would keep every WS from getting out or even make it where there isnt always a WS to be collected?

WS's only have one use. They keep track of hitters, and help catch the occasional (rare) rogue shot.

Your idea cannot work because A: Unless a shooter has the perk, you'd have to wait an hour to 'Silence the Witness', and B: If a goomba catches a GF WS, your 'Take Revenge' option is a bit silly.

Please don't get me wrong, I love the idea, especially the Silence the Witness part, the reality factor is uber, but, unfortunately the mechanics don't allow for it as far as I know.

Maybe the community can work out a simpler version of this to be used down the road?  I really do like that second part.

I don't like this idea, primarily because the witness doesn't really choose whether or not he wants to see a wack and it's not fair to kill someone just because they happen to be in the city where a wack is taking place.
