Has it really come to this? As a little social experiment I decided to mail every CL and / or RHM currently online and see how easy it is to get into their family? Not very evidently. I sent out a mail of exactly 20 words (Including my name) and shock shock horror was welcomed into every family... Jan 09, '09 19:16 Hayley has invited you to join his crew. (Accept) (Decline) Jan 09, '09 19:15 Phantom-Ghost has invited you to join his crew. (Accept) (Decline) Jan 09, '09 19:12 Hypno has invited you to join his crew. (Accept) (Decline) Hayley (Don), Phantom-Ghost (Consigliere) and Hypno the RH to another don all sent me 2 line replies with essentially welcome aboard. Hypno even felt the need to send me a link to my personals. Is this how low the standard has sunk here? People who can't even find the profile page as members? Whatever happened to natural selection? You know the people who are capable of basic cognitive thought surviving and the idiots falling by the wayside? Clearly these "Families" and I use the term loosely feel the need for extra bodies and income capable of little to no conversation and overall use. Bra fucking vo guyz. If I was going to become a member of any of these showers of shit I would think long and hard. You don't know who you could end up being in a HQ with... Honourable mention must go to Muqtada who made me write 5 more lines before inviting me to dine at his table. Fair fucks to the guy. Acutes RHM couldn't even be bothered to reply. Unlucky guyz you missed out on another family kill! Someone shoot me to put me out of my misery or point me towards a family where they are at least a little selective. Ta. Focus: Is member whoring lame or acceptable? How high / bored must I have been to do a social experiment on here? Is it worth returning after this char passes away? Cake or death? |

| Abbo, a lot of people are new and won't appreciate being shunned because they didn't "try hard enough". It is still a game, after all. Not real life. | |

Jesus I didn't realize I wasn't a gangster in the 1930's. This isn't real life? Christ on a bike. What the fuck is going off in your head son? |

| You thinking it terrible that you got an invite without excessive amounts of effort. Like I said, people who are new don't know, and so shouldn't be shunned because of that. | |

Why shouldn't they be shunned? Surely this is a text based mafia role playing game? Why play if you don't want to make a effort playing the role of a mobster using text? I cant think of any mobsters who got invited to join a family using one (Poorly constructed at best) sentence? |

As far as I'm aware, no mobsters were invited to join a family no matter what they said, or how well they said it. They either knew someone inside, who invited them in as an associate, or showed themselves to be loyal and hard working earners, and, again were invited in as associates. After being invited in as an associate, if they proved themselves worthy they would get made. So, if you want to be really realistic, so called member-whoring would be more prominent. You get people to be your associates and when they show themselves worthy they get promoted to Made Man (and above): I believe FrankieFigs does this basic process (albeit without so-called member whoring). As you can't show yourself to be a hard worker without first joining as an associate, that part must be skipped. You work as a petty associate; and as far as I'm aware, this doesn't really require brains. Just someone who can earn money. They're low level thugs. Not "officially" apart of the family. They could be terrible speakers but who cares? They're not "family". They're worker bees. If you're let in with "can I join your crew?" Then so be it. It doesn't matter. They're only Gangsters. Goombas. Low level criminals for low level crimes. But if the same level of effort allows one to get made, then there are problems. |

In response to your questions I would like to share a letter that was sent to all of the leaders of families and crews on this site at the time. It is from our esteemed Squishmeister Squishy.
I hope this helps explain why the leader you mentioned were so eager to welcome you to their families and crews. With Respects and please do have a nice day, Angel |

| Ehrm, I don't take kindly to folks breaking Omerta in my family. I apologize for this thread. It was the absolute wrong way to go about making the point he made. | |

Thank you angel for sharing that. It really does explain it all. I'm sure that most of us aren't so lenient when giving invites, but with so many new ones, we are trying to help. Not to mention there is only so much you can ask a new gangster who has never been here about themselves. So much for giving people a chance right? |
