| Unwriten Rules of Mafia Etiquette, Part 1. | Started by: Luxuria on Mar 21, '09 04:20 |
|
It's occurred to me that of late, so many of this world have forgotten the ways of old, the genteel rules of etiquette when dealing in this thing of ours, so, together with a few others I've compiled a list of old rules of engagement with other players and basic explanations for each. This is part one of two, the other half will follow shortly. Rule one: Never ask for drug prices in other cities with out first offering a copy of the prices in your own. In day's of old this was a show of trust, the information given could very well reveal the location of a person. These days, it's a simple matter of courtesy, get what you give. I for one refuse to give prices to any one who doesn't give me theirs first. Rule Two: Bail active inmates before the sleepers. Nobody likes being in jail, but at least if your asleep, your not pacing, most people who fail once will fail again, allotting more busts then simply bailing the sleepers first, then the active inmates. Remember, Bail unto others as you would have bailed unto you... Rule Three: Leave the inmates with the most guards for last. Every one works hard to set up a jail break, but the people paying the guards off should be allotted the honor of bailing those big shots locked up in the jail.. Yeah, it makes you look good to walk in there and help get those guys out, Rule Four: Unless it's a matter of life or death, approach the Left or right hand man or woman with questions before you approach the crew leader him or herself. Most people assume the crew leader has nothing to do but cater to their whim and will, THIS IS NOT SO! Believe it or not, the boss man is rather busy 99% of the time, bring matters to the right or left hand man first, or better yet, if you have Sub crews, talk to your sub crew leader first. Most crew leaders of old never talked to their crew much more then to give orders, some stooping so far as to kill members who insisted on whining to them to much, whispering: "Next time ya gonna have ta keep ya trap shut, Schmuck." Rule Five: Never, Never, Never buy out of a crew. Buying out of a crew is one of the most disrespectful things you could do short of killing yourself. Most crew leaders will drop you if your reasoning is proper... Leave with your honor intact, or don't leave at all. Rule Six: Do not flood other Mobsters about any thing, whether it's a bar you've just posted, or your boss about your next promo. First off, if you've opened a bar, customers are better at advertising then you it's better to be modest and let others do the talking, you look so much better if you're not spamming everyone with requests to visit your bar. Your best tactic is to depend on word of mouth as a general rule. Rule Seven: If you want to go to heaven fast, retiring is not the answer, nor is suicide. Speak to your hit squad leader, Right, or Left hand men, They'll be willing to help you out, it helps the family in the end if your gonna leave, at least, then, a family member gets the kill, leave with dignity and honor, not disgrace. Rule Eight: Witness statements go to your crew collector and no one else. God, how many times have I heard people say "Nice shot" in a public room? You just saw some one get killed, open your mouth any bigger and some one will put a gun in it to shut you up one of these days, Don't ask, don't tell. Rule Nine: Your gun is a private matter. No one should know your numbers, no one should know you even shoot it, this is your saving grace, you and your hit squad leader are the only ones who should know the numbers. If your a shooter, take pride and hide, the more people who know you shoot, the bigger the target on your back. Rule Ten: Respect, Honor, Silence, Loyalty And Family. Respect, Give it to all, expect it from none. Honor, Take pride in being the best you can be and don't stoop to the level of all others, just because some one else said it, don't copy it, be proud, Your a mobster, yes, but you also a family member. Take Pride in yourself and your family. Silence, Speak to none of family matters, speak to none of guns and battles, protect your loved ones, your family, and others who depend on you. To others speak nothing but banter and known facts, even simple stuff can get you and yours killed. Loyalty, When words and promises are all you have to live on, loyalty is more important then almost any thing else, when you bind yourself, tie yourself tightly, because loyalty breeds loyalty and is repaid in trust. Be loyal to yourself, and your family. If you show no loyalty to your family, no other family should stoop to taking you in, because you've already proven you're willing to leave the family that protected you in your tender years as a gangster and goomba. The only exception to this is to take a job within a new family. Family, Respect it, Love it, Honor it, stand for it, Live for it, DIE for it. Each and every member of that family is family for life, every member lives and dies For the family, With out family you'd be nothing, with out family, you'd be dead. You are your family, you are by the blood you signed in, Part of that family for life. To turn your back on your family is to turn your back on yourself, total lack of respect, honor, loyalty, Life. Your family protect you, Provides a place to grow, live, love, be... Honor your family above all else, for it is good. To turn your back on your family is to die. Part two will be coming soon. |

The Swine Amendments to the Unwritten Rules of Mafia Etiquette Rule One: This rule has been amended to read: "Never ask drug prices from someone who is not in your family." It is not the pursuit of other families to help you make money. They are trying to earn money for their own family, and any deals THAT you make cuts into their own business. It is also none of their business whether or not you are even in the drug trade, or a criminal for that matter. Rule Two: This rule has been amended to read: "Bail family members who are active before anyone else". So some rat fuck snitched to the cops and got a bunch of mobsters locked up, eh? Get your family out of jail! That's what you have family for - to support each other and keep business flowing with ease. Anyone else - fuck 'em. You have a family to look out for. You can't be risking your neck by storming the prison gates for someone whom you owe zero loyalty. Rule Three: This rule has been amended to read: "Get yours, mang." Your obligation to your family is to be the best you can be. It is also a family interest to be the best, as a whole, and to survive. Standing by and letting someone else rack up the experience who may be in another family - one that may kill yours off some day - is dereliction of duty and foolish. We are not all one big happy family working towards a common goal. We look out for our own. So, get them big inmates while the getting is good, and if you see someone from another family in jail while you are sneaking past, laugh at them and let them rot. Then run straight for Project Mayhem's cell. ALL OTHER RULES STAND AS WRITTEN |

Good addition to the first rule, though I'm sticking to the original write up as well. I hate getting a note asking for prices, with no clue where you are and what your drugs are like. |

A lot of execellent and realistic rules for how criminals around these parts should conduct their business. Rule Four: Unless it's a matter of life or death, approach the Left or right hand man or woman with questions before you approach the crew leader him or herself. I believe a mobster should be warned first, or maybe even shot in the head if they break this rule.. I mean listen up kid, you approach the Don and he doesnt know you personally your liable to get shot around these parts, I mean thats why we have a Family Structure.. you approach the boss directly and your skipping every person above you who has been assigned a position in the family, so your not only slapping the boss in the face your slapping every mobster who you should be contacting first on your way up the structure in the face. Execellent read and I believe all new mobsters should read this and UNDERSTAND this and the reasons why. |

A good read for any new (or old) mafioso that finds themselves in trouble. Obey the rules and there shouldn't be a problem. |

I couldn't agree more, Luxuria. Although, an add about pickpocketing would be a nice start for part two. |

If you need to speak with a member of my family, it's best not to bother me as I have just received a manicure and I'm in no rush to ruin my nails! |
