I was thinking about this idea earlier, I have seen games in the past that has path ways you can choose. You can be a mafioso, cop, civilian, military, or terrorist etc. I understand that most people love the originality of the game and want to keep it that way, shoot I know admins try their best to not get to far off track.
But I will propose an idea that hopefully can be looked at. My idea to make this game more realistic is to impose the "good guys".
By that I mean taking baby steps and implementing a different system role a player can choose. For example a cop. Have a cops life reflect that of a mafiosos. By that I mean in rank and many aspects. For example, you can start off as a civilian and instead of hitting thug, you hit security guard. After that you become a cop, after that have the ranking system reflect what is in real life so after cop would be detective, then lieutenant and then captain. We can then have the Made + ranks be ones such as SWAT,DEA, FBI, and maybe the Godfather rank could be CIA or something.
It could be different ranks the names are just an example since I do not have a criminal justice degree maybe their are different rank steps and Captin would be Godfather etc.
This would create a new life to the game and implement codes that are not used. Omerta is the biggest one of them all. Snitching still exist, but what if we took it to the next level and had snitching be a life or death deal? With Cops being a whole different genre than a mafioso people that become cops could try their best to take down a mafioso. Or they could be crooked cops and take money on the side and also offer protection. A cops "Petty crime" could reflect their job such as a ride along, or arrest a drug dealer.
With this idea its not just mobsters vs mobsters. In real life the whole mafia was taken down by cops and most of the violence occurred because cops intervened. Although that was in the 80's, in the 30's cops still were a big ticket issue especially since THEY dictated who stayed in power and who didnt mafia wise. There was only two roles as a cop, you could be crooked and work with the mob or be the guardian of the flame and uphold the law. War between the two don't have to be constant just like it is now, mafia rivals don't just kill to kill, same with the police and Mafia. |

Now this is a fantastic idea, but perhaps we could add a little more realism into the idea. since aftet all, police would try to hinder criminals..its kinda their job, so instead of police having a pickpocket option, give them an "investigate" option. In which they could potentially steal a wittness statement from a mafia player. The mafia player could mug the police and retrieve the statement and any money on hand. If the policemant gets pickpocketed and gets an event for it, instead of mugging, he gets the option to arrest the perpitrator and slap them in jail for 10minutes or something. The same for if he wittnesses a mugging,attempted murder or actual murder, he can jail them, perhaps have a chance of confiscating their gun as well. make it possable for a police player to wittness a drug transaction, where they can also confiscate the cash involved from thedeal, and stick them in jail..if it is possible for the police to actually hinder the mobsters income then it opens the door to back door deals and corrumption, maybe a godfather pays off a police commisioner to make him and his officers over look any crimes they witness by a particular crew and not take action, or pay them to put pressure on rival crews. To get around the police dealing drugs option, just keep the same system but change it to stocks or something to keep them legit. Instead of taking out contracts, the police could have the option to "aprehend hardend criminals" which ends in a shoot out thus training their gun. Im sure if more thought was put into it the element would be a great addition to the game ! |

I must say I was in favor of the idea before but with the statements of Mr.Knottle I'd say it is hard to not like this idea!! I love this, I think maybe even a Prison/jail could be implemented for murder and people could be killed while inside and only people in jail can catch a W/S.. Maybe add another option for people to "get at mobsters" but this wouldn't add +1 to their gun because they wouldn't be using a gun! I think this opens a whole new spectrum to the game!! |

why would we want to turn this site into a site like MM? When IJ became MM years ago I left it for this place. Nuff said. |
