    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 490px; height: auto; font: normal 8pt verdana; text-align: justify; margin-top: -15px; line-height: 13px]hello everyone, I have noticed that some have dropped out their members from the mafia, and activity has been very low lately, with posts to threads most of the time beginning the next day or two. along with stating this I believe that with nothing going on, most here are losing muse for their characters, but I also think that we could step up our game on this. If we can get more activity and perhaps more members, along with daily tasks, that would be great. you all are amazing people, and I thank you for staying as well. and I believe that together we can state ideas and put them into action, and this is my purpose for making this thread.


    the ideas I have for this gang? previously in the chatting and plotting thread I suggested a masquerade ball, and I can host it, I would also appreciate if you suggested anything for the ball, something to make it special, something that sets it off, something that makes it a Mafian original ball. and I wanted to ask if anyone has the time to, they could send their character out to other clans to give them invitations to the ball.


    something else I feel that needs to be put into action is The Mafia's reputation. The Mafia is a gang, make it a gang, and we need to get the name out somehow where IC other clans know that The Mafia is a bada** gang thats wrong to mess with. And they sell wines and drugs and beers, they should begin to go around selling those. And to add in, we should start raids as well, thats one thing that has not been done here yet.


    and I also wish to encourage character development. You guys seem to have ideas for your characters, and they could go so many places, but you need to do it first. And with threads, I also notice that most of them happen in the mansion, and I need to say that Mafian territory isn't only in the mansion, they have vineyards, a cellar, a forest like most clans do, and so on, and that there can be other things that happen in these other parts of the territory.


    lastly, we should come together to make up a plot or two for right now that we agree with, and any ideas you have, also for daily tasks which I forgot to mention, please share.

    Why not have another Mafia attack (NPC'S of course)?
    Maybe the Chinese mafia? Idk, I've been watching too much Castle.


    Wage war with the Exiles?
    Mhhmm... Alliance marriage?


    I dunno, my muse disappeared, like, two posts ago =P

    Though I only am playing a visitor, interacting with other clans in a unique ways seems powerful. it would definitely be worth while to get selling to clans out into practice, perhaps provide samples, or a sales pitch of some kind, saying why mafia-made drugs are better than human made or conjured ones. start with trying to get characters hooked, and up the price gradually, and that could be a good ic plot bit. you might also want to consider wars being a tool for profit, and put clans under pressure by secretly starting or fueling other clan's feuds, before tying to sell them an escape, drugs weapons, lies, help, basically giving to anyone willing to pay.

    hmm, a mass adoptions, maybe...? i know that's very basic, but it's all i have for now haha
    oh, for the ball, maybe a 'fake' murder could happen and they would have to figure out who did it...? it would be an arranged detective game, basically.
    tracking in case i think up a few other ideas.

    I like the idea of mass adoptions, as well as an arranged alliance marriage. I think those are cool haha
    I also like the idea Loner had about the drugs. I think it'd be interesting to have Astrarot -- or others -- become hooked on it.

I can try to help with whatever you need help with!

    We should wage war with the Exiles.


    Also Alani just recently have four kids which adds to the number of members and maybe some members could go on 'recruitment' runs for the Mafia in other clans? Or pick up random loners and let them join in? A mass adoption also sounds great. :)

    [fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px;width:490px;text-align:justify;font-family:ms sans serif]
    ooh all this sounds real neat!


    i'm new to the mafia with this character
    though i've been here before when it first started


    i can get things rollin' certainly for you all!
    [s]especially since im on like, 24/7

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 490px; height: auto; font: normal 8pt verdana; text-align: justify; margin-top: -15px; line-height: 13px]everyone these are really great ideas! I agree with the mass adoption, but is anyone willing to have their characters mother or father any of the kits? or adopt them perhaps?


    the drugs, as astrarot said, is a very good idea as well. In addition to that, I was thinking, maybe there could be a rank for this, like the ones who gather the drugs and selling them in different territories, or it could be a daily task?


    speaking of daily tasks, if anyone has any ideas for them I would be glad to hear, and on that there could be a different task announced everyday? and the masquerade ball, when do you guys think it should be hosted?
    [align=center][size=5pt]template (c) dollie[/size]

    Astra's not old enough to have any kids yet, but they'd def be up for adopting.


    I think it should be part of the weekly tasks, honestly, so that everyone has a chance to steal some from other Clans or something. I think it'd be fun.


    For when I do Weekly Tasks, I normally hand out a different task for everyone who comes. The ball, though, I'm not sure haha
    Whenever.

    [justify][font=georgia][size=8]✿ Kind of adding or at least putting some things together by what other members said, but perhaps there could be like a "private room" at the ball where some members of the mafia could deal out little samples in hopes of dragging in some customers?


    I really like the mass adoption idea too, but I think that's kind of a challenge since mainly the people I see active are younger members who aren't old enough to raise or care for young. I also really like the idea of stealing from other clan, too. And the recruiting.

    [justify][font=georgia][size=8]✿ well would it be okay if I set up a thread dedicated solely for mass adoption sign-ups if anyone's interested?
