Ok, I like the idea of petty crimes and that K.O. The P.O. takes ages to full in the achiev. page but come to think of it...

I have never heard/seen/read about a Don or a Godfather with hundreds of thousands of income from drug deals etc... running around robbing post offices for a lousy one thousand (with a bit of luck and a philly passport)...

my suggestions:

1- more petty crimes added respectively as the player ranks up (In fellony as well)

2- the same petty crimes but with less achiev. time to finish and a certain amount is added respectively as player ranks up (same goes for fellony)

3- more petty crimes and more cash introduced respectively as the player ranks up but with less chance of success (same goes for fellony)

Any comments?

I think the gods are trying to take cash "out" of the game, but I don't see why no for new crimes as you rank as long as there's not too much cash give out, but you gotta remember it's a "petty" crime. Petties are the small crimes not the big ones like felonies.

I understand what he's saying, Don Corleone robbing Post offices in Godfather III is silly. The easiest way around this is a purely cosmetic one.

Once you hit Made Man, it changes from 'What do you want to do?', to 'What do you want your associates to do?' and goes from you being directly involved to being the cut you recieve from the thugs that you employ to do the day to day work that is now below you. A similar change to Felonies Once you reach Don and can't unlock any new felonies would also suffice.

Alternatively, if Squishy is feeling adventurous, changing the names of the available petties and felonies at the above ranks would also suffice, however, s a petty s always a petty, what would you change it too?

I like your idea Robert and I would say changing the pettie from " what do you want to do? " to " what do you want your associates to do? " Is a good idea!

and that would change once you become made.. or boss

I reckon these cosmetic changes implied by Robert should only be applied at boss or Capo minimum. Just because your a made man doesn't mean you have an army of thugs at your disposal your still pretty low in the inner circle, but high overall? Anyway like I said at Boss or at Capo minimum for petties.

As for felonies I don't see the need to change names but we could add one if the gods are feeling a little on the wild side ;).

I understand what you are saying -Prophet-, I just suggested MadeMan as that is the first rank you can acquire associates, also in mafiadom it is the rank at which the boss will give you some kind of business to oversee, or street level thugs to oversee.

I agree with Robert_McCall about being able to do it at Made Man. It is, in the real world, when your boss would give you a small business to run. I'd imagine he'd also give you a few thugs to work the aforementioned business. So if you had that ability to get your associates to rob some banks or steal some art....it would make perfect sense to start at Made Man. (only if you have associates working for you obviously.) Also.....I'm not saying this just because I'm a made man. ;)
