What's wrong with you guys..
If Mafias are fighting eachothers, they don't say: Hey, Don Corleone? Don Stracci here, we want a gangwar, let's go to Flint County? Yes? Ok. See ya there.
I mean look at this, it's just obviously plain idiotic.
Gangwars should be allowed EVERYWHERE! Because then, the real RP starts with the Police, Medics, News etc.
Stop looking at bad movies and think about real life.
A mafia will not come with 20 people and organize a shootout in the middle of a city centre. Too much risk of being arrested and/or spotted by the authorities.
In fact a mafia shootout will only be if there is a major conflict that can not be resolved otherwise.
In such cases the groups will agree on a meeting in a place where they:
- will not hurt innocent bystanders, as murdering innocents is against the criminal code
- are likely to escape should someone have informed the cops
- can post guards to ensure that no unexpected rival groups or cops will show up without notice
So lets make something about our view:
What is a mafia ?A mafia is a group or 'family' that lives by organized crime.
Why do mafia's exist ? In a city where the authorities have limited control, and cops can easily be corrupted, crime goes up without limits. Then groups of criminal start to organize to keep their own neighbourhood free of the constant robbing, kidnappings and other crimes. They will protect the citizens and business owners, and take care of their territory... at a price.
Does a mafia kill innocent people ? No. They work by a strict code, that does not allow any member to kill innocent people that have done no harm. Any memebr of a mafia that is caught doing this will be punished, to death if they did not do it by accident.
Why ? They are criminalsBeing involved in crime does not mean being a psychopath. Mafia members are people who care about others, their wives and children, and who do not think of how to make the most killings every day. They will resort to violence instead of caling the cops if they or those who are under their protection are threatened.
Do rival mafia's kill each other when they meet ?Most of the times, no. If they meet rival mafias will resolve a conflict peacefully. If the lower members get in to a conflict when they meet on the streets, they inform the leaders of what happened. Then there can be two possibilities. Either it is clear who is wrong, and this is sovled between the leaders, there can be compensation and punishment for those who broke the code. Or both stay on their point of view, and a meeting is arranged to clear the conflict.
What happens at such meeting ? That depends. There still is room for peace, as nobody wishes to die. But if all fails it does result in a shootout. the winning group then takes what their win was about, and the losing (if survived) will continue minus what they lost.
Does the losing group revenge ? No. They just got their best people killed, how could they revenge ? Also the shootout is the end of that conflict. Any group who after a shootout refuses to accept the result will be out of respect from all groups and will be made to disappear.
What if a new group comes and start using force on civilians to get territory ? If they do not obey the code, they will be attacked by all other groups and disappear.
Ok...out of RP/RL mode.
Look at this post, and see what this means for your mafia RP and gang wars.
Make a clear proposition with all points of how to organize it and what the rules will be. Then we will decide.
In the mean time, do not organize mass shootouts.
