Pay As You Go Crew Leader Started by: Ragnar_Lothbrok on Jan 14, '14 20:46
DominicG as those before me have already said the payment isn't a new thing in this life. It has been tried and tested and worked very well. In the current climate it might be a bit of a slog initially to pay the fee but that is sonething that all would be applicants have to take into account.

It is a good opportunity if you want to lead and don't think you will get the chance the old fashioned way. As has been said AlexMoran is the RH to a Godfather he isn't about to leave to go and set up when he is in a position of power and possible future auth considering his current ranking and position in his district.

As for the BG restriction, do I believe that Godfather Ragnar can shoot through IWP of course but if he is out the country for whatever reason he may need one of his family to step up to the plate who may not have the same gun as him. Obviously it is all speculation and I very much doubt the Godfather will divulge his reasoning.

Good luck to all involved.

"The idea that Ragnar isn't capable of shooting through IWP is honestly laughable, but I suppose his reasoning for the BG cap is only known to him. I do wish he would share it with us though, but it's doubtful."

It's not actually laughable, it's unlikely given the bloodline, but not laughable. A member of my family was once a Godfather that had barely 200 kills to their name. Not everyone stalks the streets hunting for bums to kill all day Telkin.

Bodyguards: Your bodyguard status will not exceed Obscenely well protected nor will any of your members.

I see many people criticize this rule in particular, but it does make sense to me. Why ? Well, as it has already been mentioned, simply to keep things under control. Without it, nothing prevents someone to set up, to cap himself and to buy tons of BGs for some of their members. It doesn't even need to be the cap for the others, just strong IWP's. Yes, it's a lot of money, but it has already been seen.

And Ragnar may or may not be able to kill a capped person... that's not even the true problem... The fact is, dealing with several of them in such a case is an entirely other story. So this OWP restriction definitely makes sense to me. You don't want to deal with several highly protected people in case shits happen.

Albert dear boy, if I where insecure I would have demanded you bee killed for your lack of respect. My reasons for the limit on bodyguards isn't due to my shooting skill but for the protection of those families within Philadelphia, your own included. I even spoke with Don Wiggle about this prior to my taking Godfather in Bella Vista.

 

As for the price, no one is forcing you setup within my district and any decent earner can earn double that amount per week when not paying crew leader taxes. However I will be amending the prices based on fortifications as I admit I hadn't taken the purchase of fortifications into account. The revised prices will be announced later.

Gaius stepped out into the streets and heard the Godfather from Philly's speech. He smiled at the thought of it and nodded towards the Godfather before letting his own voice be heard.

Absolutely outstanding idea Godfather. I remember the first crew my ancestry ever led was in a similar competition under the great ThomasRourke. He thrived with such an idea, and I know that you will too.

You have what it takes to be great my friend, I wish you and your district the best of luck in this en devour.

Although, I would keep an eye on that RHM of yours eh? He's been known to steal all the liquor from the shipments I've been sending you. A little birdie whispered in my ear that you haven't received a single bottle? Is this true?

Passes the great Godfather a bottle of his home made brew and smiles before walking off to commit another felony.

How little people understand our world and way of life. So many focused on anything but the prime reason mobsters exist.

Albert is walking down the same alley that he had tread just a few days before.

you have to earn my respect, i do not give it blindly. To often we see people say they respect you one day and turn on you the next. Just because your a Godfather doesn't mean you have earned it nor have the right to demand it. You can demand my death if you want, i really don't care, wont be the last time i die either.  As for the reason for the protection limit, what the fuck does a CL under you being OWP have to do with the protection of the rest of Philadelphia? Unless you plan on killing off every CL that builds a good gun, It has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of Philadelphia. Wigglebutt earned my respect and loyalty, he didn't demand it.  Please dont insult my intelligence.

You are absolutely right, no one is forces me to do anything i don't want to do.  As far making double that per week without CL taxes, I make triple that per week, whether or not i am required to pay taxes.

Goten walks up to Ragnar and shakes the mans hand.

Ahh Ragnar, it is always nice to see old successful ideas brought back to life.  Keep up the good work!

I understand the restrictions implications intra-district, but they come with a price. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out striking a balance between the intra and inter security.

As an overall I'm rather taken with the idea though. My line had not yet reached these shores when something like this was last in play.

Good luck doll.

Given the cost of building up fortifications I am amending the pricing structure.

 

$1,000,000 per week until the status of Extremely Well Fortified is reached then $3,000,000 per week there after. There will be no $5,000,000 per week payments.

Telkin had been wondering how everything was going for Ragnar, so he decided to pop out into the Streets for a few minutes between drinks. Fry was being obscenely slow at serving him anyway, so Telkin didn't mind leaving for a short while. After he'd caught up on the happenings, Telkin heard Ragnar talking about lowering the prices for this venture. Smiling, he walked up to Ragnar,

"Very glad to see this change after our talks sir, I'm hoping these entirely reasonable prices work out for you. I was wondering though, could you confirm/deny something for me? Are there people actively showing interest in this? I would hope so, as it's a unique chance to get a nicer suit on... But so far I don't believe I've heard rumors of anyone going, which saddens me."

Telkin lit a cigarette and sat on the curb next to his friend, waiting for a response.

There has been some interest prior to and after the changes in prices and we should soon see two people setting up in Bella Vista once they are ready.
