This may be the OCD talking but Rename Boss(35) to Consig(40) and Consig to Boss. Make Consig unlockable at level 35 and Boss at Level 40. Just makes it feel better Consig shouldn't be higher than boss but that's just my opinion what do you people think?

I agree. It has always felt stupid to me, to be frank.

i think that in mafia, what we called godfather, was called boss. The consigliere could be also someone like lawyer, or just an advisor, but i dont think the consig was involved in killings and such. Probably consig could be a retired mafioso.

I think this conversation has been again long time ago, and the admins said it was based on what was the status quo in american mafia early 20's.

I am used to the ranks and i wouldnt like them to change tho.

Actually, that's the first thing my OCD-ish brain noticed when I first played this game. I've been playing a lot of mafia games and I still think that it should be changed although I got used to it a long time ago. There's no point arguing about it here because it's just my opinion and everyone's opinion is different.

if you all wanna get technical you could make LHM/RHM titled as Consigliere and just abolish the rank of Consigliere as Consigliere is more of a title as consultant to the boss

That's another needle in my eye about this game, the fact that players are ranked Capo, Consigliere and Boss without being a capo in a family, being an advisor to the boss, and being boss of a family respectively. I guess it's been here for ages so why change it, but still it does bother me a little.

Nah.

This has always bothered me. Switch them around devs please!!!! Pretty please with a cherry on top

I'm all for switching things that improve gameplay and immersion, but I can't this this potential change improving (or even adjusting) either. 

What's the benefit in changing it?

What's the negative of not changing it?

The reality is they're random titles assigned to a 'rank' that has no RP footing. We do our best to RP around the various constraints imposed by the mechanics required to make a workable game, this is just one of those scenarios. The current 'rank' title system is simple saying you're at rank 3 while you're at rank 5. It doesn't, simply because it can't due to logistics, perfectly outline the structure of a family. People sitting at the rank of 'capo' won't be running their own little crew and people at the rank of boss won't be running their own family. It's just giving a name, which our brains are better able to process and recall, to an arbitrary rank achieved in a game. 

If the RP side of it is a bug bear, look at many of the traditional Rank vs. Role threads. The rank is something given to you by the game so you know what level of stat boost you are at. Nothing more. Your role is something given to you by your family and is the job you do in the family. Rank is an ingame mechanic constrained by logistics, role is a roleplay option where the only constraint is the imagination of your family head on how they wish to organise their family. Many families (at least in the past, can't speak for the current crop) have abandoned a traditional Mafia structure in place of a business one, other organised crime structures or something of entirely their own creations.

Personally, I'm a big fan in the game having too much of a hands on role with this type of thing. If I want to shake things up and run my family in a different manner to everyone else... I can. If I'm able to take over the game and change the way the entire auth/family/whatever structure is set up... I can (try, at least). Trying to make it all governed by the 'game' or the 'code' is a step in the wrong direction. With all that in mind, I really can't see any meaningful benefit in changing around the order of arbitrary titles of meaningless ranks. The only important factor is what value those ranks hold within a given family structure and how that structure is then roleplayed by the people around you.
