Glad to hear it, if you're interested in the mafia I would refer you to @Frank he runs a decently sized family and also has ambitions to create a "little italy" within our community in the town that we decide to take over. Sounds like you'd be a good fit, I'm sure there's plenty of space for a gun shop in their village. I encourage you to also join our discord and interact with our other members as well. Plenty of career opportunities within, and no particular rush at the moment.https://discord.gg/sh76s8Q 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 27, 2017 On 04/01/2017 at 10:34 PM, Honeybadger said: Hello, I am Honeybadger - and I don't give a .... Well, you know it goes. I have been a part of the gaming community for over a decade across every genre of game there is. I tend to focus mainly on the competitive scene and team-oriented play so I know what it takes to participate in, and lead, a large group to a successful outcome. My current job allows me to play at work, so I will be able to play around 60+ hours a week or at the very least be available when needed. This provides me an excellent opportunity to not only take on a leadership role, but to also stay in the top % of players that you don't want to mess with. I have about 7 friends (so far) confirmed that will be joining me in this game from previous ones, with more to come closer to launch I'm sure. We will go in with a solid foundation and are looking for other similarly minded and skilled players to hop on board now to help drive this massive engine! With that being said - what I would like to attempt in this game is to form a sort of conglomerate that is advantageous to everyone involved. Our goals and mission will likely change on a monthly basis contingent on our biggest needs at that time, for example ; We have multiple store owners but not enough trucking companies to provide cheap and timely services so our mission for that month will be to absorb / buyout trucking companies that will operate within our conglomerate. Obviously I can not build and direct this massive engine on my own, so advisers will be appointed to help guide and discuss the appropriate paths for the "clan" to take that will be beneficial to everyone as a whole. The current projected server capacity is 300 people. Our goal is to achieve at least 150 members of various occupations (mostly consisting of large businesses) thus allowing us to control the flow of the environment around us. Having server majority would enable us to appoint politicians of our choosing as well as secure a larger safety blanket for those operating somewhat outside of the law within our organization. What we are looking for - Advisers (Clan Officers) - Advisers will likely be players interested in the business owner and political career paths. People who are savvy at seeing the big picture and able to collectively discuss the appropriate paths and decisions the clan should make. This role will function as our own mini-government carving out the direction of our conglomerate as a group. Other jobs will include things such as organizing events, recruiting, keeping people in line etc, deciding which businesses to start / absorb. They will be respected members of our society. Please apply with me in private message if you think this is right up your alley. (Yes we will also need war adviser(s) this role will likely consist of Private Military or Police Captain, perhaps even a Godfather). Players interested in Business - I expect this to be the bread and butter of our conglomerate. Business owners can expect to receive startup loans with little to no interest rates through our investment support system, the advantages provided from receiving discounted materials and services from other businesses within our conglomerate, and the security of our private military and gang affiliation if / when need be. Players who wish to be a business owner within our conglomerate will be thoroughly interviewed by myself and fellow advisers so that we may determine where and how to place the best leaders (We don't want corrupt business owners or people who can't keep their employees) This will help to ensure that The Neighborhood profits from it, the business thrives, and the jobs provided / salaries are of exceptional quality particularly for members of our organization. I want to have 1 possibly no more than 2 large companies in one area of expertise at a time that we can focus our efforts and resources to so that our companies don't end up rivaling themselves in terms of profit. We want to build and manage the "Go To" companies as it were. This would apply to such things as Transport companies, banks, farms, casinos, clothing stores. So getting in line early to be the company we endorse would be beneficial to you. Other companies such as trucking companies or mining companies we could afford to have more of as those are general production and revenue streams that don't necessarily need to worry about rivals as the discounts and profits can be shared by all. Equally important to us as business owners, are the employees. Perhaps you just want to lead a casual life with good pay minus the hassle of running a company yourself, even if undecided - our conglomerate will potentially be able to offer a large variety of jobs for you to work at exceptionally higher pay rates and advantages than you can expect almost anywhere else. How will Politics work? - Do you want to be a Governor? Perhaps a judge, or a conglomerate Lawyer? Our massive engine will allow us the numbers to appoint the appropriate people into these positions. You can expect this position to earn an extra "clan salary" on top of its job pay. Job functions will include things such as forming and passing laws that benefit The Neighborhood (which will also benefit the majority), giving leniency to players in our organization as well as condemning rivals and keeping our players out of jail whenever possible. This may sound sort of, uhh.. Corrupt-ish, but outside of the advantages you receive from our business discounts, extra salary, and our numbers provided to appoint you - It's just kind of the way of the world. We will definitely take care of our loyal Politicians. How will the Mafia work? - Frank is the leader of The Luprano Family - The Neighborhood will act as a safe haven for his gang and allow them to operate cheaply and safely on our (very efficient / high traffic) store fronts. Gangs can expect to benefit from our business discounts as well as operate under our safety net of paid off politicians and policemen as well as aid in the riddance of rival gangs for total dominance. Together we will ensure that they are the largest mafia, and we are the largest business force that they themselves also have a vested interest in. Private Military - What is a small town without it's own small Army? I'm not entirely sure how this role will function yet, but you can expect this position to be an extra salary on top of your current job and current clan role. Members of our private military will receive priority access to cheap weapons, and any combat gear / training provided in the game to form a stronger military. They will function as our protection blanket to protect our businesses if / when need be and fend off rival gangs etc. As the President of the conglomerate I will be in charge of running the military and it's funding. On the left we have the money makers and on the right we have the money costers, separated by a large X in the middle. Ideally the profit margin is so large on the makes money side, that the costs money side pays for itself through investments. The hierarchy for each segment is broken down above. Each member of our organization will represent at least one of these segments. Each segment will have it's own separate treasury operated by the Directors of that segment. They will be known as the advisers, who will gather once a week or so to discuss their treasuries and next lucrative business deals / investments.. If all 4 of these segments are investing in the same things, it will expedite the production of our businesses and accelerate their rate of earning income. All treasury invested money will return to the treasury for that segment to either invest in the next business deal - or invest in their particular segment as seen fit by the directors. Members will contribute to their segment through a (yet to be determined) tax % sort of thing. The taxes will come from investments, basically the opportunity to invest in a company that's guaranteed to succeed. For example - If you're a member of the Mafia and you contribute 5% towards the investment of our new startup building, you as a player will receive 4% of that income and the segment you work in (Mafia) will receive 1% of that into their treasury. If you're a business owner or employee and invest 5% into a new drug trade the Mafia wants to take on, you will receive 4% of the profits and the Business segment will receive 1% of what you invested as profit. If 3 members invest 5% from a segment, that segment will receive 1% 3 times. Over time players and segments will be accruing profit from not only their companies, but the success of many others. Segment treasuries can be used to fund things like the remaining % of investment required to start up our next company, the combined funding of wars if needed, the self improvement of their business, or even just sit on it for a rainy day. The functionality of the mafia and politicians will ideally work in a scenario where the cost of their services is replaced by the amount of advantages received through cooperating and investing with us. If the Mafia maintains 25% worth of investments in our companies, then our companies success will also hinder on their ability to protect it and drive out competition. In the same respect the Mafia will have the security of the largest corporate backers in the game, as well as the ability to open their own businesses under our brand and through our investment support system. The mass production and shipment of drugs early on may be one of the most profitable trades we end up having, and with our help they would surely be on top of it faster than anyone else. Politicians will simply be paid for what they can accomplish, most of this branch will consist of investors - Since our industry will be large, creating and passing laws that benefit us is by happen-stance also beneficial to the majority of players in our server since we will control the majority. Politicians will receive access to our campaign support, ability to invest in our profitable trade market, ability to start up their own companies within it etc.. The best explanation I can give is to think of it as the biggest HOA community in town, except on a larger scale. It's a conglomerate of multiple large companies working together and providing the advantages that each one has to offer such as discounts, efficient trade, large pool of combined resources while also providing the cooperation of politicians and security of private military and possibly even gang turf. At the start we will want 1 company of a different NECESSARY profitable trade (1 farm, 1 mine, 1 casino, 1 trucking company so on and so forth) so that we may build them up to be the biggest game in town as well as shut down opposing factions if / when need be, just through sheer numbers and a proper support system.

I am in the UK, more specifically England. I would like to become a truck driver, delivering goods around the island and working for you. I have been gaming for a good 6-7 years and have started getting into role play games about a year ago. I do not mind pvp on some games (I'd have to see how combat works in this), so I'm going to say hybrid maybe leaning more towards PvP. I plan on playing about 21-30 hours a week, this will differ because of school/some family issues which will be resolved in time. The reason I want to join is to work for an organised, well thought out business where I can take orders from people that know what they're doing and I can earn enough money for a living.

I'm glad you've decided to join, we also have a lot of younger members like you so you shouldn't feel too much out of place. Having another truck driver would be great, are you looking to work for one of our trucking companies or did you have ambitions to start your own? At this moment, we have about 2-3 transport companies that we represent. So we don't really need any more companies, unless you already have a few employees - but we do need some great truck drivers. https://discord.gg/sh76s8Q There is our discord, where all the members of the organization can meet, share information, propose business deals and stuff like that. Think of it as our own private mini forums. Once you get in there, say hi and then send me a private message we can discuss some more things about what you want to do. I can get you setup with one of our trucking companies, and add you to our private military list if you'd like to participate in our PvP events such as raiding towns, missions with our mafia, etc.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are probably one of our most valued assets at the moment, being that you want to join the private military, and an (armed) truck driver - both of these roles will contribute a significant amount of value to our organization. It's unfortunate that you wont be able to play very much, but not a problem at all. The structure is designed to get in what you put in, so perhaps you may want to focus a lot on putting your earnings towards business investments that The Neighborhood is supporting at the time, particularly at launch. This way you can collect your % payoffs even while you are offline, and other players are growing their business. Join our discord when you get a chance as well and introduce yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
