very simple little thing that makes sense from RP point of view. Say your new to the game and pick a homecity at random. You then spend 24 hours or whatever looking for a family to join and a city to live in. At the end of this search, if you happen to pick a family in the same city you started in you should proberly get a lil tiny D boost because theoreticaly it's the same city you were born in and have lived in your entire life. You know the streets and you know the safehouses.


Growing up in LA and then moving to NY to be part of a family...well, youde have to use a map, at least at first.

I know of a rumour that if you start in a certain city on wack answers it gives you a little bit of a wack boost so this idea might counter that. Make people think more about where they start.

Anyway, just a thought.

I think there would be a lot of effort into something small but it could happen.

This would be too open to abuse. Most people who play have an idea of what city or family they wish to join before the sign up... or in the majority of cases re-sign up. Also, its more likely to be an increase to info skill rather than defense to represent increased local area knowledge, rather than increased defense.

Plus, do you think someone past Wise Guy or anything wouldn't know their way around a city other than their home city? Also, if you're dealing drugs in another city other than home city then you know your way around.
