While I may be a classic commie pinko liberal in real life, when it comes to this game, I find myself to be as libertarian as they come. Simply put, I believe the fewer restrictions Izzy puts into place the better off the game and the userbase will be. If there were no way to buy hits off of the hitlist, I would be in favor of adding a buy off option. However, there IS that option, and that's where I believe the restrictions should end. If some gangster wants to blow their cash on putting a hit on someone... so be it. That's their choice. And it's then your choice whether you want to amass the cash to buy it off, or if that's just a waste of your time at that point.

Then it stands to reason that you can do that as well, yes? Unless there's some sort of restriction like "thugs are the only ones who can acquire credits via the dice table" that I'm not aware of? Take advantage of the systems already in place in the game instead of wanting more. The more restrictions, the less player freedom. The less player freedom, the less fun the game is overall. 

As for the argument that "Made Man isn't a high rank"? I find that to be laughably ridiculous and a product of the easing restrictions on Godfather, and of gaining rank overall. Youths.

I believed the hits were placed by Jeddy and I assumed they had been cancelled by the hitlister as no one claimed responsibility for buying them off. I never once said that they were cancelled by the hitlisters death.

Once again, I never said you said they were cancelled by the hitlisters death. My original and only statement is that you believed they were cancelled, and I reiterated it to our friend, ZoeyH, by saying "That is why when hits are posted anonymously they cannot be cancelled, despite what Flash-Fire may say..." I did not want to risk my good friend ZoeyH to receive incorrect information. This is why I gave her the correct information and as a preemptive measure implied that this, one hundred percent, is how the hit list works when it comes to Anonymous's hits.

Although you already confirmed my statement in the block quote above that you believed Anonymous hits could be cancelled (which is what I stated in my post to ZoeyH), I will go ahead and quote you from that time period.

Session Start: Thu May 07 15:07:31 2015
Session Ident: Flash-Fire
[15:07] <Flash-Fire> You do realise what the consequences are going to be if that hit list isn't cancelled

This statement is in response to an anonymous hit I posted on Flash in May of 2015. An anonymous hit that he erroneously believed could be cancelled at the volition of the poster. 

Of course Flash may just be trolling me, if so well played because I took the bait. However for you PeterPerttits , I haven't given a formal lecture, most of it was informal hours between friends and crash courses for customers. But if you are interested send me a mail with your Skype details and I will prepare an actual lesson plan so I don't forget any details and I will happily teach you all about how the hit list works. As a player of this game you have a right to learn everything that is freely available.

Woah now Squishy, I'm all for some entertainment, but that might cause a riot around here, make sure to have the national guard on standby.

Then it stands to reason that you can do that as well, yes? Unless there's some sort of restriction like "thugs are the only ones who can acquire credits via the dice table" that I'm not aware of? Take advantage of the systems already in place in the game instead of wanting more. The more restrictions, the less player freedom. The less player freedom, the less fun the game is overall. 

I wasn't calling for or asking for any changes what so ever. The less big brother (the admins) in our lives, the better for the overall game play. I was merely pointing out that the people who are constantly hit listing people don't have to continue going to the old credit card to get their point across.

Damn dudes, i forgot how small changes can spark some lively debate - which is great for entertainment value.

 

Next up for our entertainment bucket list:  Changing WACK! to Whack. 

The fact that you fixed "falure" to "failure" (and yes, I know you can hover and it's still there) will be forever a source of consternation to me. 

Thanks, Snuupy.

After we've covered the hitlist, any guidance you can offer on making Boss would be gratefully received. 

tbh when are you going through with the plan to let us exchange credits for ranks?
