just because its a different lay out instead of high ranks always being lhm or rhm the level of trust seems to be more important

it dont matter about their rank they could have been a don on their last acc died and came back

I'm going to guess this speech started because *somebody* wants to be a LH or RHM and has not yet earned the needed trust.

I could of course be wrong, but such strong and sour words make me think that this is not just about coherence and that there is something deeper.

nothin wrong with a low ranking RHM?

If youve gained trust from the Don i dont think it matters what rank you are

Well the irony is that people here are saying "Rank doesn't assume level of trust so any rank can have the job"

Is the problem here that Dons and Godfathers are making low ranked mobsters their RHMs... or is the problem that ANYONE can be a high rank these days if they live long enough? 

The ranking system is just a seniority thing now

Actually auth a thug as your RHM is out of character, because if you're in character at all times you actually don't know them very well because they're new to our shores, but if you're treating them as a old friend and someone you can trust, you're out of character.

You're basically saying I knew someone in their family and I trust this thug who can barely do petties to be my RHM.  Doesn't even sound right to me, but hey, I'm just a nobody who enjoys playing either way.

No, its like you were a RHM and you got wacked, the first thing you would do would be make a new acc and get back in the same crew and be RHM , but you couldint you have to wait say 10-16 days before you could :)

HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

O.K. I made a mistake. I get the point. Maybe it was a bad idea. It just seemed kind of weird to me at first.

Maybe it is strange though as they can be killed much more easily than a higher rank... :/

No idiot would attack a right hand. Not unless the wanted to go to war.

no because i mean if i ever got to make a crew i would get mates who havn't ever played mafia returns before because i trust them and i wouldn't get some high ranking guy just because they are high ranking

I wouldn't have a RHM. Awesome doesn't need one. He's awesome, like. I really really am.

So you would have a completely inexperienced RHM, Matt? That wouldn't work out too well for you.

I wouldn't want a completely inexperienced LHM, or RHM. but if you are a crew leader you are bound to have more than 1  decently high ranked friend...and i do like the realistic aspect of having a minimum rank for an RHM/LHM just like you have a minimum rank to be a crew leader. 

Just my two cents
