Up until now, for about a year now, we have seen use of MUCs, or Multi User Crimes. This system has been alright, but everything from how it was split into two sections, to it's name, was not really related to the mafia. So a redesign was thought out, and has been implemented. With this redesign will come a few changes, some of which will be put in place later.

Currently these changes are:

There are no longer Public and Family only crimes. All crimes fall under one header: Organized Crimes. This is a more relevant title, thanks to Sprozza for it. He gave it to me months ago.

With the distinction of PUC and FUCs disappearing, a new way to decide who you can invite was needed. To do this, we have made it so that there are two groups that you are able to invite, which expands the number of people:

If you are in a Godfather family you can invite:

1. Anyone from your home city AND
   
2. Anyone from the city that you are doing your crime in.
   

If you are NOT in a Godfather family you can invite:

1. Anyone from your CREW AND
   
2. Anyone from the city that you are doing your crime in.
   

Because we have expanded the number of people that you are able to invite to crime, we have balanced this out by removing the cap-per-rank and making it a 5-person cap for all ranks, and we have put in a minimum accomplice amount per crime. The easiest crimes, the made man crimes, start with 2 that is you and another person are required to be able to do these, up until the hardest of the Organized Crimes which are 5 man jobs. You MUST have 5 people to do these crimes.

You may notice payouts are higher than usual. This is being balanced, and will change as time goes on.

If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

Oh, and these will now use your felony timer 100% of the time.

If there is a goomba who is not in my family, does he have to have his petty free, because I can't see him to invite him :/

I've a Consig in Gwarbles family with 0 on his felony timer who isn't showing.

Got a Boss from Gwarble's family not showing either... Perhaps its just Gwarb;le's family... you Admions not like the worlds greatest journalist or something?

Can't wait to see this new addition, but i think its a little more tricky now

Hmmm, all resolved, and huge payout for 6 people. I think the errors I encountered where player errors though.

Must be.

How could anyone dislike me?

So... how does one invite someone? Do they pop up when their felony is ready or?

I don't appear to be able to see any of my members, despite their assurances they have both petty and felony open.

I was unable to cancel an OC as a participant.Also,was still locked into it when I flew.

told you admin hated you :p

I was unable to cancel an OC as a participant.Also,was still locked into it when I flew.

I had a crew member report that he was unable to get out of an OC UNLESS he flew.

i flew and got a msg that i was cancelled but when i try to initiate a crime it takes me back to where i was still in the old crime from the other city....im stuck in a crime and cant get out

Oh, and these will now use your felony timer 100% of the time.

Does that mean our felony timers have to be empty as well as whoever we are inviting?

I just want to clarify that it's:

"Anyone FROM the city that you are doing your crime in."

and not

"Anyone IN the city that you are doing your crime in."

Nice!!! I've got a suggestion.... dont lower the prize hehe!:)

Is there a cap on how many crimes you can do with the same people?  A few of us were taking turns doing the crimes since we were all ready at the same time.  But when it came to the last person that had a crime to start, none of us showed on his list to invite.  Why is that?

Panthrax that person who was left over, were they by any chance the only person not from the same crew/city?

I'm pretty sure this is how it works...

Say someone from a Philly family is in LA.. that Philly person can invite his own crew and anyone IN LA who has the home city LA. When it comes to that person from LA's OC they cannot invite the Philly people as they are NOT in his crew and are NOT from LA.

Hope that makes sense.

Ok that makes sense, thank you.  Yes 4 of us were in the same family and he was not part of the family.  Thank you so much for clearing that up.
