"I know that you are not telling me everything, so I am about to give you the best piece of advice that I have ever received" *Kevin Finishes loading the last magazine, jams it in the Tavor, and loads the round* "Do not bullshit a bullshitter" *Kevin removes the magazine and clears the gun, before placing it back in it's case in a similar fashion to the shotgun* "Before you say anything I have a very good reason for wanting to know everything" *Kevin removes his t-shirt, and turns his back towards Elexis* "Do you see that scar on my right shoulder, that is what happens when you are shot by a 9mm hollow point bullet by a cop" *Kevin puts his shirt back on* "I don't know if you have ever been shot, or shot at, but I do not intend to have it happen again. After I was shot, I went to jail for close to two years, and you don't exactly get the greatest medical care when you are there. Which brings me to this" *Kevin pulls out a custom Colt 1911, all black with a gold inlay* "I had exactly one visitor for the entire time I was in prison. He was my best friend, and one of the only friends I had that wasn't a criminal like me. He came by almost every week, but he was diagnosed with cancer after about a year, it didn't stop him from coming and spending time with me, but as time went on, and he got weaker and weaker, he couldn't come and visit as often. But there was one thing that he told me that will always stick with me, he told me that even though I was locked up, I was more free then he ever was. He told me that because as he came closer to the end of his life, he realized that working for a large company was just as bad. He was a gun enthusiast, but because he was so young, he had only enough time to have bought one gun, and it was his prized possession. I still remember the last time I got to see him, he was so weak that he had to have nurses to help him, but he insisted that I would get a chance to say goodbye to him properly. His funeral was a week before I was eligible for parole. I was fortunate enough to get to go to the funeral, even if I had to wear shackles. After I was released on parole, I found out that he had left me his prized possession, this handgun" *Kevin pulls the slide back* "I have kept this gun in pristine order, if I ever fire it, it gets cleaned immediately. This gun saved my life, or rather didn't take it. I was out of jail for about a month, and I was fucked up on just about any drug I could get my hands on. I used my shoulder, or the loss of my friend as justification, but looking back on it all now, I was lying to myself as much I was to everyone else. One night, I was fucked up on Xanax, and I drank most of a 2-6 of vodka, and I decide I had enough of it all. I took this gun, loaded, cocked it, and I put it in my mouth and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened, so I cycled the next round in and tried again, nothing. I did that until all seven rounds where on the floor. I don't remember much after that, but the next day I went out to the shooting range, and fired off all seven of those rounds in a row." *Kevin stares at Elexis with a fire raging in his eyes* "So, I now you know exactly why I need you to not hold back anymore information. That and if I find out you did, I walk, and I make sure that Jon walks away as well. I will also burn you, you will never pull another job on this island"

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.

There should be somekind of sand box mode to let you try all the different stuff out. It can help make important decisions on what car to get or what kind of interior design do you want for your house

Truly looking forward to it

You may want to edit your banner so it match's your "Code" The banner currently says Respect few, Fear none and your code says otherwise.

Maybe you can start off crawling and be sort of dazed but as time progresses you will get on your feet and limp away. Like say you get in a car accident and manage to survive. You could crawl out, the screen would be blurred and the character could be dizzy, making if hard for you to really make out what is going on, adding to the confusion of the situation. As time progresses your head will start to clear and your vision will begin to focus like normal again and you could push up onto your feet and begin limping. I would say this would depend on the occasion though and the severity of the accident.

I remember i read a post who say that gas station need to be refuel some times so i think yes, the car will need fuel !

While there are lawyers in-game for many purposes, being used this way would unfortunately open the door to exploitation. For example, people could sue someone when they've done nothing wrong and in turn take money from them. You can't trust a jury of players to take the right side, since many people are playing to have fun juries often side with the more entertaining story (in our experience). Because of this, the system would be used to scam money away from people who worked hard and legitimately.
