  1. Hello there, friends. When I started this post, I didn't think it would receive the amount of attention it did. With 600+ views, and 19 replies, it got far more attention then I've ever thought it would get. Over the past few months, I've been successful at recruiting members and allies. But, in the past week I've been experiencing lack of enthusiasm for my cartel. I've been thinking about it hard for the past few days, and I've decided what I wanna do. I've decided that I no longer wanna start a cartel. I thought about it, and I realized that starting a cartel is kinda out of my league. I'm just not that type of person. I'm still going to be a criminal, just not the head of a major cartel. I might join another cartel, or be an independent criminal. But my decision is final; the Peligroso Cartel is no more. I apologize for those who are disappointed with my decision. Best regards, DROSE
  2. ~~~~~~~~~~=Mafia Hierarchy // Ranks=~~~~~~~~~~ Associate Associates are not actual members of the Zinx Mafia but rather anyone who teams up with them on a criminal enterprise of some kind, these "Associates" can vary to cops who've gone crooked, to higher officials (mayor, etc) giving us the get out of jail free card. It can also be free access to "early shipments" to rivals or others. Soldiers Soldiers are the lowest-ranking in the Zinx Mafia hierarchy, they are the grunt of the criminal enterprise/hierarchy. Capo AKA Caporegimes The Capo or Caporegime, is the Captain or Lieutenant of the division within the Zinx Mafia. He/She/They leads a crew of soldiers and reports directly to a boss or underboss, who hands down instructions. Consigliere The Consigliere or otherwise Chief Advisor is NOT officially part of the hierarchy of the Zinx Mafia, but he plays one of the most important roles in the crime family. He is a close trusted friend and confidant of the family boss. Underboss The underboss, is second-in-command in the hierarchy of the Mafia crime family. His level of authority varies from the family to family, but he is ready to stand in for the boss at any given moment when ordered by the Boss/Don. Boss The Boss, or Don, makes all the important decisions, much like a CEO of a company would. Although each mob boss may run his outfit in a different way, every Boss or Don, have one thing in common; they are greatly respected & wildly feared by subordinates. ~~~~~~~~~~=Mafia Hierarchy // Ranks=~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~=Contact Form=~~~~~~~~~~ Template to join as a soldier Are you a pledger (Proof): What experience do you have with guns in games(E.G ARMA): What makes you a good Mafioso: Will you follow the base rules(more will be added): Why join Zinx Mafia: Are you ready to become apart of the family: ~~~~~~~~~~=END OF CONTACT FORM=~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~=Contact Form=~~~~~~~~~~ Template to register as a "Associate" What could you supply the Zinx Mafia with: Why should we have you as an "Associate": What make your crew/family/corporation different from others: What is your crew/family/corporation name & your ranking in it: Do you have what it takes to become an "Associate": ~~~~~~~~~~=END OF CONTACT FORM=~~~~~~~~~~ Contact Boss//Don with form

It also states that any family member must do the time the authorities have given him, even if he hasn't even done it. Later on in the family, we might co-op with other small families, but that's not now. The Cosa Nostra The Cosa Nostra is the family oath, and is not to be talked about on the streets, with any other family, or any authority. But only to be talked about when joining the mafia. Our Family is more important than your own. What is said in the meeting, stays in the meeting. But never leaves your heart The HLR This is the third process of joining. (Out of 3, Omerta, Cosa Nostra, and HLR) The HLR is a code taken by all members of the family. Stating all members must be Honest, be Loyal and have Respect.

Do not interfere with each other’s interest. Do not be an informer 2. Be rational. Be a member of the team. Don’t engage in battle you can’t win. 3. Be a man of honor. Respect womanhood and your elders. Don’t rock the boat. 4. Respect your families loved ones, such as Daughters, Sons, his Wife, Grandchildren, Nieces, Nephews and anyone he describes as a loved one. This is somewhat related to rule #3 5. Be a stand-up guy. Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. Don’t sell out, The ‘stand-up guy’ shows courage and ‘heart.’ He does not whine or complain in the face of adversity, including punishment, because ‘If you can’t play, don’t play.’ 6. Have class. Be independent. Know your way around the world 7. No one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it. 8. Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty - even if your wife's about to give birth. 9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families. 10. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth. 11. People who can't be part of Cosa Nostra: anyone who has a close relative in the police, anyone with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn't hold too Structure Boss - Head of the family Underboss - appointed by the boss, and is the second command of the family. He runs the day - to - day operations. Consigliere - The bosses right hand man, He is the third highest ranking member and is given the most respect. Next to the boss of course. The Consigliere attends every family meeting, acting as an aid or a representative. He also acts as the bosses aid. Capo - Leader of a crew of soldiers. He is also responsible for any tasks assigned, including murder, labor racketeering, it is usually a capo who controls the infiltration of union locals Soildier - Soldiers are the main workers of the family, usually committing crimes like assault, murder, extortion, intimidation, etc. In return, they are given profitable rackets to run by their superiors and have full access to their family's connections and power. When the books are open, meaning that a family is accepting new members, a made man may recommend an up-and-coming associate to be a new soldier. Associates - Associates are not actual members of the Mafia but rather anyone who teams up with them on a criminal enterprise of some kind. They could be someone who does business with the mob, including money-laundering bankers, crooked cops, lawyers, politicians, etc. There are also the Italian newcomers who have yet to be made, called cugines, and they play a minor role in the operation of the Mafia. Associates are also fair game on the streets, they are not protected by the organization. Anybody can be an associate in the mafia, however only Italians and Sicilians can be made. Made Men Before "Making your bones", A soldier must show extreme honesty, Extreme loyalty and extreme respect. You have to live by the HLR, showing the traits more than any other soldier. Becoming a made man means you have fully devoted your life to the family. Our family, has now become yours. The acception to your mother and father and child of course. Not your brother, not your sister, and not your wife. Acceptions will be made depending on how much the Cosa Nostra needs you. Before being inducted a potential made man is required to have carried out a contract killing; thus, murders committed for personal reasons do not count. Committing one's first contracted killing is referred to as "making your bones." When introducing one made man to another, the phrase "a friend of ours" is used, indicating that he is a member and business can be discussed openly with him; however, when introducing an associate or civilian with whom business should not be mentioned, the phrase "a friend of mine" is used. Made men are the only ones who can rise through the ranks of Cosa Nostra, from soldier to capo, (captain) consigliere, underboss, and boss. To attack, let alone kill, a made man for any reason without the permission of those Mafiosi higher up in the organization is seen as a cardinal sin which will normally be met with severe retaliation, in many cases regardless of whether the perpetrator has a legitimate grievance. The made man is traditionally seen as "untouchable" by the law as well as by his fellow criminals, a man to be respected and feared. Made men can only be 100% Italian or Sicilian Territory The Santarelli Crime Family will have full control of the docks closest to the biggest city. We will sell illicit cargo such as cigarettes, weed and booze. The docks are not just a work place for dock workers, anybody can come and hang around, walk about freely, converse with friends, and dock ships.

Warning, If anybody sells anything they will be sent a message. ex. beating them.

  5. Tervitused(Greetings) from Estonia!

    I've been up all night, when I'm sleepy I'm too talkative, when I'm awake I'm silent as a forest with no wind. I have always been fond of telling stories, writing drafts for books, making up concepts, getting my thoughts out there. Don't know the exact point when I started with roleplaying, it gradually went from simple chilling around in games to shouting orders in Project Reality, ending up in dealing with robbers in SantosRP. I fucking love doing tedious things while talking with someone else who I don't know closely. People who I know are often busy or don't want to talk, but the guys and gals ingame are in the same moment I am- alone, but totally up to pull something off. I'm a 19-year old(20 on June 24th) guy from Estonia, I'll throw a bunch of foreign gibberish at you just to make the scene interesting, I'll play as a female character since I've never put mind to other guys doing the same and I've never seen anyone get called out on it. Mainly for the aesthetic. So anyway, hello and I wish to be the guy you people always can count on for help -Der SilberDrachen
  6. Joining the Mariano Crime Family Joining this thing is not easy. You cannot pay or beg your way in. You become a man of honour and respect only through merit. To even be considered, you must be cunning, smart, and competent. You must be able to take and follow orders as soon as they are given, and not let your loyalties sway. We do not want people who lack the ability to be self-directed and operate as useful members of the family. You must also be eternally loyal to your friends in the family, as they are expected to be to you. Loyalty is of the utmost importance. The process begins with you working for a made man, doing jobs or helping in any way he asks. You must kick up part of what you earn to him. As an associate, there is no minimum, but the more you kick up, the more profitable you are. Once you have worked for this man of honour, and have proven yourself to be a competent, intelligent, honourable man who is capable of earning and kicking up well, you will be proposed to the Boss of the family for being made. At this point, the made man who you work for will vouch for you, and if he truly believes you will make a valuable member of the family, and the Boss agrees - you will be made. The process of being made is not something we talk about. Simply, you will enter an associate and come out a man of honour. Once you are made, you are an official member of the Mariano Crime Family. The possibilities are endless, and there are vast riches to be made. You are a member of an exclusive society which will protect you and your interests above all else, provided you put this thing before all else in your life. This thing of ours is not just a job, it is a way of life. OOC: If you think you have what it takes to become an associate of the family, simply message me here on the forums and I'll be happy to discuss.
  7. So I've been wondering if there are any other proper crime families. Seems right now like it's just the Marianos and maybe the Roseport Mafia. Of course, the Mariano Crime Family is accepting members, but we don't just let anyone in. Message me if you're interested and believe you have what it takes. Anyway, it would be good to see some more real crime families emerging.
  8. Langston Family / Dark Ace Mafia

    Langston Family / Dark Ace Mafia Welcome to the Langston Family, or the Dark Ace Mafia. We have already recruited many men, and have made many connections. We are looking for more loyal men that enjoy the Mafia style role playing. This crime family will control everything from the production of drugs, the dealers on the streets, the weapons trade, smuggling, hijacking, robbery, and whatever else we need to do to get that money. Everything illegal happening on the streets will belong to "us". This means if there is a petty dealer dealing on our streets, well, let’s just say he won't be there for very long without paying some fees. On top of all the crime, and money, we are a family, we support each other in times of need, and stand on the building blocks of loyalty that this family operates on. We will be a Suit Mafia, wear tailored suits, drive nice cars, and we treat everyone with respect, unless we are shown disrespect. Join this family, and have a lot of fun in identity, and make lots of money while doing it. Now a little about me not as a Don, but as a person. I am not the Don that sits in my office all day. I am not the Don that steals from the poor. I am the Man, which spends time helping the community. I give money to the poor, rent properties to people, create opportunity for those who seek it, and am just a very public kind of guy. Am I scared of being public, sure, you never know who wants to hurt you, but living in a room, is not living. I hope to see many of you in the game. Who can join? Anyone, if you like crime style playing, and mafia type scenarios, this is perfect for you. What will we do? We will do all the things a Mafia does. We will control the drug dealing in the towns, with dealers operating under us, giving us a cut of what they make, and we give them more product. We will control illegal gun trading in the world, doing big role play like deals, with other Family's. We will break the legs of anyone trying to take our turf, and if it becomes necessary, use our assets to have them taken care of. This is just a glimpse at what we will do when the full game is out. Climb the ranks of the Mafia family and become high up and powerful, and make a name for you, and your family, on identity. RANKS: First I have to say, ranking up is not about the money you bring in. You will not be ranked up before spending a considerable amount of time in the family, and proving that you deserve to move up the chain through nothing but pure dedication and success. 1st, Associate: You will not be in the family yet, but will role with us and see how things are done, and could be a street dealer, or deliverer for us, etc. Bring in $500 into the family, spend good time with the family, and prove yourself to the family to rank up. 2nd, Soldier or Street man: You will scout the streets, bringing information of people selling anything from guns or drugs to the attention of the family, you will be able to also show other Associates how we work, can be a pick up man for cash, and join the family on missions where we need the numbers. Bring in $2000 into the family, and prove your loyalty to the Langston name to rank up. 3rd, Enforcer: You will be tasked with doing some... shall I say, dirty work. Now don't get ahead of yourself, you’re not a Hitman. You will be an enforcer on the streets, intimidating, and maybe even kidnapping people who disagree with our rules on the streets. You will also be able to take soldiers and associates with you on jobs such as robberies and other various tasks. (All medium level jobs must be cleared with a capo, and high risk with the Don. Bring in $10,000, 1 new recruit, spend lots and lots of time in the family to prove that you deserve this promotion, and complete one mission for the boss to rank up. 4th, Capo: You will be in charge of territories and men. You will have your soldiers and associates, although this does not make it a competition between you and other capos, it is just that you are at the stage of control. You will have more leeway to do jobs and activities of higher caliber. Remember, we are a family, so no matter where we are, we always help each other. The capo can also give his own jobs and assign his own tasks to enforcers or soldiers, if he/she is confident they can get it done. Bring in $15,000 to the family, and 3 new recruits, show you are ready, and complete various tasks for the boss to rank up. 5th, Underboss: This rank will have limited slots. Whether I want 2, 3, or 4 is undecided yet. The Underboss(s) will act as the commanding voice of the family when the Don is away. They can assign major tasks to the capo's to then assign on their men. The Underbosses will be entrusted in handling many meetings with other families, supervising major deals and shipments, to ensure everything runs smoothly. You are the ones with the most experience meaning you make the calls above everyone under you. Special Division 1. Hitman: What I meant to say was special tool. To get to this rank, you must make it to the enforcer rank, and then come to the Don about this... Special job. You will be tasked with many, special assignments to say, clean up messes, or take care of things. You get the idea. This job will be rarely used as i personally do not like a mess, I rather people understand right off the bat, so don't expect much. 2. My men on the inside. People I have in law enforcement, politics, and more. These people will be critical to the longevity of our operations. RULES 1. Respect, 2. RESPECT 3. Loyalty 4. Obey higher ranks 5. Got a problem, don't freak out, come to the Don personally. 6. No Snitching, no talking to cops, civilians, or even your own sweet mother about things we do. 7. All rats will be caught, you won’t last long as a rat, we'll have people watching over everyone, and you will meet our special tool. 8. All money collected on family related jobs, will be split to 70% for those who "collected" the money, and 30% for the family. 9. Family money is not one man’s money, it is the money we use to further our organization, whether that be buying a poor soldier a suit, buying more cars for the family, getting "merchandise and tools" for the family, it all goes to the family, not just one man’s personal pleasure. 10. Steeling from the family is not smart, as this makes you a thief to the family, and that breaks this rule, and rule #3. Not only does the Don himself despise people who steal from the family, but everyone does as you are stealing from everyone, as that money could be spent towards the family and gaining even more money. If you’re short on cash, don's hold back your % on jobs, simply ask someone for a loan, or even the Don himself doesn't mind loaning and even giving money to his family members, because that's what we do. 11. Don't do ambitious jobs or activities on behalf of the family that could jeopardize the family organization without consulting the Don. THIS IS PRIORITY AND FAILURE CAN LEAD TO COMPROMISING THE ORGANIZATION AND WILL RESULT IN TERMINATION. Although on your own time, not in the family, if you want to do illegal things without consulting us, do not use our name, and take your own risk. 12. Along with the roleplay fun of the family, take some time off once in a while and just have fun, try other jobs, it is a new game and if you want to try new things, just take a break, ask the Don. 13. Always have your family's back. 14. As an associate or soldier, before committing any crime at all, ask a superior if it is ok. 15. If you’re caught doing a crime, say it was your individual choice to do what you did and you had no influence from anyone else. Sometimes you just got to eat some dirt to keep your family safe. This will not go unnoticed, as sacrifice, is a quality of a very loyal man and will lead to your recognition. 16. Close members of the Family's won’t be selling drugs, personally delivering illegal shipments, etc. This will be for outsiders that are under our control, and soldiers. This is to keep the crime semi disconnected from the family and helps insure the integrity of our operations. 17. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, are you to discuss plans, activities, operations, etc., with anyone outside of the family. Doing this will make you a RAT, and you know what happens to rats. Please message me if you are interested. Best regards, Kevin Langston

In the event that gangs are a more official system, will there be official ranks? Also what will be decidable by the boss, etc. Thanks!
  11. Introduction The Mariano Crime Family is an Italian-American organised crime family based on the ancient principles of Cosa Nostra. Like the Genovese Crime Family of New York City, the Mariano Crime Family are considered the 'Ivy League' of organised crime, mainly because of their ability to adapt with the times and find new ways of making money even as law enforcement clamp down on the mob. One of the key differences between this and other criminal organisations is the sanctity placed on loyalty and brotherhood, two values which have unfortunately become rare in the underworld. Structure The organisational structure of the Mariano Crime Family is the same as that of other Italian-American and Sicilian crime families. Low-level associates of the organisation work on the streets, making money in the hopes of eventually becoming 'made men' (official members of the family). Once they are 'made', associates are promoted to the rank of soldier, or 'soldato'. Soldiers operate in crews of up to 10, which are each lead by a captain or caporegime (shortened to capo). A capo is essentially a lieutenant, managing his crew and ensuring that they are earning money without breaking the rules of the family. There can be anywhere from 2 to 20 crews in a family depending on its size, each operating independently of each other (for the most part) but ultimately part of the same organisation. All of the families captains report to the underboss, the second-in-command and one of the most powerful members of the family. The duty of the underboss is to oversee the day-to-day running of the family, ensure that business is running smoothly and that captains are passing up their kick-up (more on this later). The consigliere acts as an advisor to the boss, helping him steer the family in the right direction and settling disputes both within and outside the family. Finally, the Boss (also known as the Don, or Godfather) is at the very top of the pyramid. All decisions, including who gets made, who the families captains are, and who runs what rackets (criminal jobs), are made by him. At the end of the day, the Don gets a cut of all profits made by the family. Kicking Up Key to the power structure of the mafia is the practice of 'kicking up'. Essentially, all this means is that at a certain pre-determined time (probably once a week or once every two weeks), anybody earning with the family (this means associates and made men alike) must pass a certain amount of their profits to their superiors. Associates kick up to whichever made man they are working for. Soldiers kick up directly to their captain under all circumstances, while captains all kick up to the administration of the family (meaning the underboss, boss, and consigliere). The amount that one is expected to kick up differs based on rank and the rackets one is working, but the minimum amount will always be fair and reasonable. Unless you are particularly reckless, kicking up will not be a chore, and most of the time only about 10% of your weekly income will go towards it. However, basic math tells you that the more you earn, the smaller the percent of your earnings you will need to kick up to satisfy the minimum requirements. Then again, kicking up even more than the minimum is a good way to get noticed by the higher-ups and possibly earn you a promotion (which obviously means more opportunities to earn big money). It is always the best earners who are the most respected in the family. It is important to remember that just because you have people working for you and kicking up to you, you should not slack off. Everybody, from the associates to the boss of the family, actively work to earn money on top of what they are earning from kick-up. Nobody sits around waiting for payments and drinking coffee. How to Join It is important for the organisation that our members are competent (skilled) and intelligent, that way everybody is able to make as much money as possible. Even though being an associate of the Mariano family is potentially one of the higher paying jobs available to most people in Identity, being a 'made man' is where the real money is. The higher your rank, the more money and opportunities are available to you. To join, simply work with well-connected associates or made men in the family. Make money and every so often, kick up a decent amount of what you make to your higher-ups. The more you bring in, the better your reputation will be. Of course, it isn't just about money. You need to demonstrate that you are loyal to the family before all else, and that you know and understand omerta (more on this coming up). Once you have earned the respect of the families administration, you will be considered for being made. The very best associates are evaluated and hand-picked to become official members of the family, and therefore expand their earning potential (for themselves and the family) infinitely. It is best not to ask to get made, as this will only annoy and slow down the process. Instead, demonstrate that you are both loyal and a good earner, and you will have your best shot at becoming an official member of the family. Rules of the Family The rules of the Mariano Crime Family are quite simple. For simplicities sake, they are referred to as 'omerta' (pronounced oh-mer-tah). They are: - Your loyalty to the family comes before all else. - Never hurt or kill another made man under any circumstances, and only harm an associate if you have a very good reason to do so. - Never co-operate with the police in any way. If the police ask you about anything related to business, you know nothing. You're simply a businessman. - Do not discuss family business with anybody who is not either a made man, or very well connected to the family. - Make sure you are not late with your payments. You would not like your underlings being late with their payments to you, so show the same courtesy. If you follow these simple rules and generally try to avoid causing trouble, you will find your time in the Mariano Crime Family very rewarding and fun. Conclusion The Mariano Crime Family is an organisation for people who value loyalty, brotherhood, and intelligence. We are, in the truest sense of the word, a family. This is an organisation for those who aren't content with being a part of any old gang. If you would like to discuss further, feel free to send me a private message. Keep in mind that our organisation will operate on the Australian server so, while we are not opposed to doing business with US or UK people, we only accept made men who are willing to play on the Australian server.

  12. Langston Family / Dark Ace Mafia

    Langston Family / Dark Ace Mafia vvvvvvvvvv CHECK OUT MAIN PAGE THREAD! vvvvvvvvvv Welcome to the Langston Family, or the Dark Ace Mafia. we have already recruited many men, and have made many connections. We are looking for more loyal men that enjoy the Mafia style role playing. This crime family will control everything from the production of drugs, the dealers on the streets, the weapons trade, smuggling, hijacking, robbery, and whatever else we need to do to get that money. Everything illegal happening on the streets will belong to "us". This means if their is a petty dealer dealing on our streets, well, lets just say he won't be there for very long without paying some fees. On top of all the crime, and money, we are a family, we support each other in times of need, and stand on the building blocks of loyalty that this family operates on. We will be a Suit Mafia, wear tailored suits, drive nice cars, and we treat everyone with respect, unless we are shown disrespect. Join this family, and have a lot of fun in identity, and make lots of money while doing it. Now a little about me not as a Don, but as a person. I am not the Don that sits in my office all day. I am not the Don that steals from the poor. I am the Man, that spends time helping the community. I give money to the poor, and just am a very public kind of guy. Am i scared of being public, sure, you never know who wants to hurt you, but living in a room, is not living. I hope to see many of you in the game. Who can join? Anyone, if you like crime style playing, and mafia type scenarios, this is perfect for you. What will we do? We will do all the things a Mafia does. We will control the drug dealing in the towns, with dealers operating under us, giving us a cut of what they make, and we give them more product. We will control illegal gun trading in the world, doing big role play like deals, with other Family's. We will break the legs of anyone trying to take our turf, and if it becomes necessary, use our assets to have them taken care of. This is just a glimpse at what we will do when the full game is out. Climb the ranks of the Mafia family and become high up and powerful, and make a name for you, and your family, on identity. RANKS: First I have to say, ranking up is not about the money you bring in. You will not be ranked up before spending a considerable amount of time in the family, and proving that you deserve to move up the chain through nothing but pure dedication and success. 1st, Associate: You will role with us and see how things are done. Bring in $500 into the family, and prove yourself to the family to rank up. 2nd, Soldier or Street man: You will scout the streets, bringing information of people selling anything from guns or drugs to the attention of the family, you will be able to also show other Associates how we work. Bring in $2000 into the family, and prove your loyalty to the Langston name to rank up. 3rd, Enforcer: You will be tasked with doing some... shall i say, dirty work. Now don't get ahead of yourself, your not a hitman. You will be an enforcer on the streets, intimidating, and maybe even kidnapping people who disagree with our rules on the streets. You will also be able to take soldiers and associates with you on jobs such as robberies and other various tasks. Bring in $10,000, 1 new recruit, prove that you deserve this promotion, and complete one mission for the boss to rank up. 4th, Capo: You will be in charge of territories and men. You will have your soldiers and associates, although this does not make it a competition between you and other capos, it is just that you are at the stage of control. You will have more leeway to do jobs and activities of higher caliber. Remember, we are a family, so no matter where we are, we always help each other. The capo can also give his own jobs and assign his own tasks to enforcers or soldiers, if he/she is confident they can get it done. Bring in $15,000 to the family, and 3 new recruits, show you are ready, and complete various tasks for the boss to rank up. 5th, Underboss: This rank will have limited slots. Whether i want 2, 3, or 4 is undecided yet. The Underboss(s) will act as the commanding voice of the family when the Don is away. They can assign major tasks to the capo's to then assign on their men. The Underbosses will be entrusted in handling many meetings with other family's, supervising major deals and shipments, to ensure everything runs smoothly. You are the ones with the most experience meaning you make the calls above everyone under you. Special Division 1. Hitman: What i meant to say was, special tool. To get to this rank, you must make it to the enforcer rank, and than come to the Don about this... Special job. You will be tasked with many, special assignments to say, clean up messes, or take care of things. You get the idea. RULES 1. Respect, 2. RESPECT 3. Loyalty 4. Obey higher ranks 5. Got a problem, don't freak out, come to the Don personally. 6. No Snitching, no talking to cops, civilians, or even your own sweet mother about things we do. 7. All rats will be caught, you wont last long as a rat, we'll have people watching over everyone, and you will meet our special tool. 8. All money collected on family related jobs, will be split to 70% for those who "collected" the money, and 30% for the family. 9. Family money is not one mans money, it is the money we use to further our organization, whether that be buying a poor soldier a suit, buying more cars for the family, getting "merchandise and tools" for the family, it all goes to the family, not just one mans personal pleasure. 10. Steeling from the family is not smart, as this makes you a thief to the family, and that breaks this rule, and rule #3. Not only does the Don himself despise people who steal from the family, but everyone does as your are stealing from everyone, as that money could be spent towards the family and gaining even more money. If your short on cash, don's hold back your % on jobs, simply ask someone for a loan, or even the Don himself doesn't mind loaning money to his family members, because that's what we do. 11. Don't do ambitious jobs or activities that could jeopardize the family organization without consulting the Don. 12. Along with the rolaplay fun of the family, take some time off once in a while and just have fun, try other jobs, it is a new game and if you want to try new things, just take a break, ask the Don. 13. Always have your family's back. 14. As an associate or soldier, before committing any crime at all, ask a superior if it is ok. 15. Last but not least, if your caught, it was your individual choice to do what you did and you had no influence from anyone else. Sometimes you just got to eat some dirt to keep your family safe. This will not go unnoticed as sacrifice, is a quality of a very loyal man. 16. Close members of the Family's wont be selling drugs, personally delivering illegal shipments, etc. This will be for outsiders that are under our control. This is to keep the crime semi disconnected from the family and helps insure the integrity of our operations. 17. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, are you to discuss plans, activities, operations, etc, with anyone outside of the family. Doing this will make you a RAT, and you know what happens to rats. Please message me if you are interested. Best regards, Kevin Langston
  13. Famtiano Family

    Famtiano Family RP Story The Famtiano Family was created in the poor Italian neighborhoods in New York during the prohibition era in the 1920s. With their high expertise and their wealthy allies they became powerful. In the 1940s they expanded into Los Angeles and Boston, buying clubs and fronts there as well. Famtiano was loved by the people, not only for the help they got, but also since Famtiano was known for not being violent (unless it was necessary of course). Everything great have to end, and during the 1950s the Family got too big for its own good and infighting began. A major breakout faction in the family caused Famtiano to leave Boston, and with that lots of income. The Family stayed under the radar for years before being one of the first to help build Las Vegas to what it is today. Owning and operating plenty of clubs and casinos the Famtiano quickly became one of the most powerful crime families in the US. The next couple of years and decades Famtiano expanded: San Fransisco, Miami, New Orleans, Chicago, as well as reclaiming Boston. They got plenty of allies, The Yakuza, The Irish mob, and many more, and with the careful job they do the FBI cannot trace any crimes back to them. To reach a mob you need the help from the people, but the people aren’t interested in helping. Cause after all, the mafia is just creative entrepreneurs, looking to make money. That’s what the Mob is about. Making money. The difference between normal businessmen and the mob is that the mob isn’t evil, and that they do not pay taxes. Still powerful ´til this day, and with the funding focus shifting from Law Enforcement to the War on Terror the Famtiano is looking to expand again. What made the Famtiano Family move mostly away from the US was the new law that was named R.I.C.O act. The high-ups in the Famtiano Family decided they needed somewhere new to expand, so they handed over a secret deal with one of the biggest Yakuza Families to get help with smuggeling the members out from the US to the Island of Identity. More info about what we do The Famtiano Family is not an organization were you get to kill people and so on. We focus on our members and money. Of course we will need to take action sometimes to either get more money or to simply make it easier for us to get the money, but we do watch over our official members. We pay our members regarding on how much their income on the jobs they do, let us say for an example an official member #1 got about 5 000$ in this week. The min. was 4 500$. The 4 500$ goes up in different split. So the #1 get probably 800$ the Capo ( Captain) of that made man get 1 200$ and the rest is so on divided up to the boss. The boss has to share what was given from the Capo to the other high ranks such as Consigliere and Underboss. The jobs we usually do is wide. Sometimes insurance fraud, hijack cargo, smuggle cargo, delievery jobs and so on. If you want to understand more then think about us as Gods of Calamity. We don't cause catastrophes for fun and nor for free. By Calamity we mean we can do your jobs, almost any job considering a wide range. Our title/ranking system Boss/Don/Capo De Tutti Capi Underboss Consigliere Capo/ Captain Soldier / Made Men __________________ Associates We do have of course small other ranks such as enforcers, makers, Amico's, buttons, and so on but we won't give all sort details now. We consider our Made Men and above like our real family. We protect them with our hands and heads. Captains usually have small teams of Soldiers / made men to work for them to be their "sales" manager kind of. They collect within a week a certain amount that the underboss decides. The made men/ soldiers can operate 1-2 associates normally and be their pals kind of. They can get help from them and so on. How to join the Famtiano Family We are very strict on joining and we do not mess around. We do not do application, rather than that we want to get to know our members so they will become our associates. Let us say that some of our members ( Soldiers, made men ) were at a cafe very often, that means we control that cafe and so on, let us say that if you sat at that cafe very often like us, we would have investigated in you. If we knew you were a cop or working for the goverment we would not bother talking to you. However if you were something else like a small time criminal or even a normal job within a normal company we would have asked you some stuff. To sum it all up, it all comes down to how you show your activity to us and your passion for our type of work. Of course this might be hard on the forums but you can always message people in the family and so on to get to know them better. Our current state Now we do not like to brag too much, but our current state is defently not poorly. We already have many official members and enough business deals and connections but if you ever want to make a deal or something then just contact us. We will not give out our current members details but maybe sooner in the future. Best regards the Famtiano Family Board.
