    And I would also like to point out that the game doesnt seem to have anything to do with the mafia so there is that.You can do whatever you want but it doesnt make much sense for a game that will take place in 2017.
    I hope I dont seem too rude , I am just speaking my mind

    The mafia still exists all through Italy, and in the US. They aren't as strong as they were in the 20th century, but they are definitely still round.

    The mafia does exist. Just mostly in corrupt country's, like Mexico etc. Gangs are really, just a dumbed down version.

    There isn't a mafia in Mexico, but there are drug cartels.

    Two problems here:

    1. The dollar sign goes BEFORE THE GODDAMN NUMBERS!

    2. Your businesses would be registered as a hotel or hostel. That makes 4th amendment laws a little different. in the supreme court cases of United States v Katz and United States v Cormier it was decided that police could enter a hotel room without a warrant if they heard or smelled something that could endanger public safety or gave them probable cause to suspect something illegal was happening inside (such as harboring a fugitive). Also in United States v Domenech it was decided that the expectation of privacy (the cornerstone of 4th amendment law) does not extent to hotel rooms registered under a false name or alias, so unless your "guest" plan to use their ACTUAL names then they are busted. Hell, speaking of warrants, if your facilities are known to be a hiding spot for wanted criminals how hard to you think it would be to talk a judge into issuing a blanket search warrant for the premises? We would be ransacking your places ever damn weekend and arresting anyone who got in our way!

    Good luck with your business when you have THAT kind of reputation!

    What you don't understand is that his business would be in a grey-area, not legal, nor illegal, and most importantly, nobody would know which buildings are safehouses. That is the entire point of the firm, so people cannot find you. If he knows what he's doing, he definitely won't make it easy for the police of all people to find his safehouses.

    I don't like being staff on servers because it makes me want to just, ohh, give myself money here, free car there, its not legit to build a gang or something, and people just like you because your staff. 

    That is always a problem as well. Even if you don't abuse your powers the game isn't the same.

    Starting a server might be hard, as i think everyone will like to play on official servers. Although i don't know all the options and there might be things on the official servers people dislike, and choose player made servers. We'll see. 

    It's possible, but I think there will always be a demand for un-official servers. I guess we'll find out. Either way unless there is something seriously wrong with the majority of official players, I probably won't be starting my own server, but on the other hand owning a server is always fun and rewarding.

    On one hand the devs have said they don't want to have too much NPC involvement, but I can't see many people going and buying drugs. I wonder how the devs will deal with this. Maybe they could have meth give the player a minor speed boost and a considerable damage boost to replicate its real life effects.

    Hey all,

    Just wondering, what's the first thing you're going to do when you boot up the game?

    I decided I was going to head to the pub, grab a pint and wait for all of this to blow over :)

    Quality reference.

    You can check the Job bank for players owned businesses. One player is running a transportation company and there are  2 "Mega Corporations" which are pretty much guilds from what I can tell. Aside from that in Asylum there were resource collection jobs where you went to a designated area and grabbed as much as you could carry of whatever resource you were gathering (Apples, Oil, Diamonds, Fishing, Salt, Marijuana to name a few).

     

    I believe they also want to implement a system to be able to sell artwork in game, as well as the ability to own retail stores and factories. They also said that hunting would be a career path.

     

    Finally my obligatory plug:

    I'm planning on running a player bank, check out the job bank for my offer and send in an application if your interested.

    They have said that players will not be able to run banks.

    I think a great idea for vehicles is nitro or something else like that. I think their could be car customization like the car abilities in JC3. It would be cool to have car features like drifting, sliding, lifting car up, or honking. I also think you should have to refill gas but its cheap and only like once every year in game, or I think you shouldn't have to have car gas. Things like that but way way more would be so awesome! I also think it would be best if any of your vehicles flipped over or were up side down then you should be able to life it back up. And will their be wheelies for motorcycles or cars if they are going fast enough? I think it would be really cool if their were bikes like in gta 5 where you can do crazy stunts! Like bike customization or abilities depending on talent.

    What makes you think this game is going to be anything like GTA?

    As far as I know servers will be split by continents. @KevinLangston will play on US server, @FlyingDuck will play on EU. So I think their mafias would be on the servers they play on. Unless they want to branch out to other servers with clans or something... 

    There's still a possibility we will come into contact, and even if we don't it is likely there will be other gangs. We discussed it and we felt like putting this out there in case anyone is interested.

    I'm proposing a commission, made up of the heads of all three families, who will meet up and discuss business issues, mediate conflicts, and generally keep the peace between the families. Any issues relating to family conflicts can be resolved if we put our heads together.

    It's gonna be ages until the game comes out, and everyone here is hyped, but I think it would be good if there were more images and videos released to keep people here, and bring new people in. With the game so far down the track, some content like that would help. Any devs have any opinions on this?

    From what I have read, it looks as if committing any crime, even if there are no witnesses, will make you wanted by police. I understand the flag system only means that you can be arrested, and not that you are pointed out as a criminal, but is it possible to (hypothetically) commit 10 murders and not be wanted at all if you are not seen? 

    A potential problem with the toggle system is that people may just go around arresting people and saying afterwards "well I arrested him so he must have committed a crime", because you can only arrest people who have committed a crime.

    I owned and ran a Serious DarkRP Garry's Mod server back in the day. It was hard to keep the roleplay serious considering most of the Garry's Mod playerbase is aged 8-14, but when we did have good RP it was great. I closed the server a while back and ever since have been looking for something to take it's place. Identity is basically everything I wanted my server to be and more, which is why I'm looking forward to it so much.
