GAME CHANGE: Center Districts Got The Clout Started by: Squishy on Jul 11, '14 15:54

Clout is not a form of herpes btw.

Starting August 11th, the center district of each city (The district you land when you fly into it) will receive some of the much promised benefits from when we first announced districts.

The boosts for a Godfather in the center district will be higher than non center districts.  Their rank will also show as Godfather - Chairman signifying that they hold the cities most esteemed position.

On August 11th, if all upper structure mails me with confirmation that is with their wishes - We can move 1 existing Godfather from that city to the center district of the same city with full reimbursement for the move.

The title and the boosts may not align with what the current arrangements are, but we hope that within 1 month that the users will be able to sort things out within their own hierarchy knowing that this has been pending for quiet some time.

Guys!! I got a lol from a godfather! Ok it's official, I'm going to be a comedian!

Good luck?

Mate this aint even set in stone yet every upper has to agree.

As well why would this cause war? All the cities are quite unified at the moment I don't see this causing a war if it comes to play

Well, it's not like I have any inside information. But, it looked to me as LA wasn't under the rule of a single godfather. It looked to me as they all operated separate but while working with one another. If that made any sense.

Now once again, I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. But that is just what it looks like from an outsiders view.

"lol" echoes my thoughts too

More intervention by the Gods to try and manufacture conflicts.. or something.

Looking forward to more pointless changes which don't address the main issue the game is facing which is too many districts and not enough players.

Sometimes users cant see the forest for the trees.  The last two changes are directly catered to reducing the number of half empty crews, and giving the users a greater ability to control the number of Chiefs versus Indians.

Every single crew went into this knowing the center district would be more powerful.  I apologize that it took this long to enact it.  If I wanted to manufacture conflict, telling everone a year in advance, and then a month in advance, would be kind of counter productive.  If you have such little faith in the crews working with you and next to you, then your problem isn't with me.

Please share your insight on the best way to transition the center district to where it is supposed to be in a better way, I am, and always will be, all ears.

Desmand, you're a godfather in game and you are in a better position than some to make changes. Not just complain about them. There are solutions to make things better, but everyone just wants to sit on their hands and not do anything besides run their mouths. Here is a change, maybe not the blanket that will solve all the problems, but at least something and everyone just spits on it. 

What I'm understanding of this change, I think it's a good one. Not pointless. Everyone wants to be on top, but when on top is the same as every other Godfather, where is the challenge? With a central Godfather a challenge is brought back.

Gotta agree that this is definitely a step in the right direction - now it's just up to the players to make the best of this change. 

@Garrus_Vakarian that was good banter btw.

I wasn't aware that having an opinion on a matter involved me "running my mouth" FourLoko. Please don't tell me what I apparently do/don't do where shaping the game is involved or might just get "off my hands" and "make changes."

Not quite sure where I mentioned anything about faith in the crews I work with. I shall refrain from continuing discussions regarding the wording and assumptions for fear of my own life being discharged. 

As far as suggestions go, what happens if this situation were to arise. I shall use New York as an example because I love them all fiercely. Daddy Jeddy assumes control of the central district and you move him there before he is gunned down by a TylerDurden 1%. Let's assume that with his demise the Godfather central district is now left open. Assuming Godfathers can't move district (as is currently the case) do we just leave the district without a Godfather and thus the city weakened because no one wants to give the central Godfather role to anyone other than the three remaining Godfathers.

How would it work? Or do you plan to move a Godfather every time the central Godfather dies? Or do we just let the district close since there are already more than 3 in the city (as you have stated happens after 7 days) kinda shitting on the central district idea.  

Report Post Tip

I didn't read your whole response Desmand because I think you took it all a bit too personal. I did not say YOU run your mouth and YOU sit on your hands. I said EVERYONE. You quoted me yourself, did you miss that part? As I continued to speak my mind, as this is an OOC forum and I should feel like I can do that (in the streets I understand holding back for respect purposes), my thoughts were to everyone, not YOU. 

The feels, the feels. All the feels.

"On August 11th, if all upper structure mails me with confirmation that is with their wishes - We can move 1 existing Godfather from that city to the center district of the same city with full reimbursement for the move."

If all the GF's agreed to which one of them per city would be taking this title, wouldn't it make more sense (though maybe a pain code-wise) to just...edit the central district to that particular one, rather than causing GFs to up and leave their currently beloved district? :S
Report Post Tip

No Ras, that would be a much bigger change code wise.

Report Post Tip

The center districts have to stay the center districts because of the visual graphics already done for them, (and the airport flies into them). 

We have a month to get all the kinks worked out, but I'm thinking of some kind of move system to just "swap" districts/crews or something.  We can get a meeting going soon and get some input on it.

Report Post Tip

I don't like that we have to change what we do to fit the code... Some of us are attached to districts, so we asked if the middle district could be changed. Nope, we have to move ourselves if wish to have different districts now, but with a new title.

Then it sounds like things won't be completely free to move. If were to move, and ask for my crews to come with me, I'd have to pay for either their new HQ or a new set of forts? (That's the way I read it in DL)

I mean... lol. What kind of shit is that?

And I know this was implicated a year ago, but the same leaders then aren't the same leaders now, so lets not act like this patch of leaders should be up to date with all the approvements... Cause lets face it, the changes that were explained a year ago, aren't anything close to what we have progressed to from that point, or what we were told the game would be.

If you're going to do this, at least do it to where we don't have to pay for shit, cause that's bullshit. Or change it to where we can have new middle districts. Something has to give on that aspect, and it's going to effect us when it shouldn't.

Also.. What if the middle district die? From what I hear it's in consideration that a GF in the city may move to the main district. What the hell.... Why should it be a consideration? The city should have the ability to MOVE how they like, if this change is going to be implicated. To tell a GF that he can't have the middle district because he already has a side piece due to game mechanics isn't the way to do this.

Report Post Tip

I apologize for half of my statement. Izzy seems to have cleared up some of it for me while I was typing an initial response.

Report Post Tip

This is pretty much exactly how districts were explained when they were first being talked about and first being brought in. Central district Godfather was always planned to be see as the most powerful, with more boosts and gains etc etc.

Also, no one is telling you you HAVE to move. If you don't want to spend any money moving districts, then don't move districts. There is an option. You can either have your HQ moved over for free, and you pay for the other HQ's in your district to be moved (which again, isn't being forced on you, they could stay where they are and a new GF take control of your old district), or don't move districts at all, and have a completely new GF set up in the central district. (Unless the set up has changed and admins are paying for more now, then discredit this part.)

You act as if this is 100% against you and you have no choice in the matter but to pay up.

Also, and I can't stress this enough. This isn't your game, or any of the GF's game, it's Squishy's, so you really have no say in how he should implement features.
