Game Change: Associates Started by: Anubis on Jun 07, '09 17:09
Associates has been coded.


The basic rundown is this:


-You have to be made man or above

-You cannot be the RHM, LHM, or the CL.

-Your CL must designate you as a sponsor.


Invites:


-You can only send 1 invite per 24 hours.

-Your invites are expired after 24 hours.

-You can only have 1 associate.

-If your associate dies, you must wait a week before inviting someone else to be your associate.

-If your associate becomes made, you can invite another instantly.

-You can only invite unsponsored gangsters and below


Associates:


-You are a member of the family like any other, to the game, but you're sponsor is the made man or higher that invited you.

-You pay the made man in your tributes, not the Cl.

-If your sponsor's CL decides to give you your Made Man promotion, that's when you become a full fledged member of the family.


Other things:


-If you're dropped or buy out of a crew you lose your sponsorship and your associate.


Any questions, let me know.


CLs can now designate sponsors in the crew page. When you are designated as a sponsor you can go to http://mafiareturns.com/manage/associates.php and send your invites there.


Invites are handled exactly as Crew invites are.
Report Post Tip
Also, your family has to have room for your associate, otherwise they can't accept.
Report Post Tip
How do the new guys/gals know which people are a designated sponsor? Or are they not to know and the crewleader to place this person under a Made Man or above?
Report Post Tip
...Honestly not sure what you mean, Jonizzel...


if you mean how does a regular person know whom is a sponsor? The only way is to see someone in their associates profile.


If you mean how does a CL know whom is a sponsor, they have to designate them.
Report Post Tip
I believe he meant, when a newbie joins, how does he know which Made Men+ are available to sponsor?
Report Post Tip
He doesn't. It's up to the sponsor's to get out there and find someone to mentor. Because that's what this is. it's a big brothers/big sisters program. You help out the newbie, and make a bit of cash in the meantime.
Report Post Tip
Ahh, Yeah. That's what I was getting at Prophet. Cheers.


Also, I think I already know the answer to this but will ask it anyway. Is the duty of HQ'ing, demoting, removing gun etc down to the Sponsor or the crewleader?
Report Post Tip
Its up to the CL however I do believe that it was once talked about letting the Sponsor HQ or wack the associate but he would get no points for the wack. Don't know if that was actually put in or not.
Report Post Tip
Why no get credit for the kill? Any sensible leader would pick Made + members as sponsors that wouldn't abuse this feature and just wack every associate they got.
Report Post Tip
But it could still happen. Just a precaution to keep things like that from happening to often.
Report Post Tip
A bloody good idea, keep it up ladies and gentleman of the admin team.

Or how about, if a sponsor abuses certain privileges, his CL just shoots him in the face for abusing the system. I'm sure we can still do some things through the RP route.


Nice change though, I like it.

ahhhhh

If you have any questions about this that are code or usability related, please post here or contact Anubis directly.


If your queries are in regards to the actual concept itself, helpdesk is your first port of call. This goes for all new features too.


Cheers.

Admin Team.
