none of this is done because im feeling very lazy

REWRITE THIS TO MAKE IT NICE

Hierarchy
The Don
Consigliere
Capo
Consulente
Made Men: Vinny, Soldatos, Wiseguys
Mafioso associates
Italian associates
Non-italian associates

Made Men cannot be touched by eachother or by associates without permission from a higher up. To do so is to break your sacred vow. If too many vows are broken, the Don might cut the Capo off and take back what's rightfully his by force. In severe cases - fear the hand of Il Consorzio.

Associates do not have this protection but it's best not to whack someone unless whoever might have an interest in them within the family is notified (don't kill a soldato's underlings without talking to the soldato first)


Don't talk about mafia business on the phone.
Don't talk about it out in the open. Use coded talk.
Watch out for RICOTTA agents.

Intimidation first - violence if that doesn't work

mafiosos want to be made

Business - smuggling, gun selling, drug running, racketeering, protection money, etc
Make deals with people - violence can be dangerous and expensive

Give money to the Don's box = get access to outside help via the number left on the answering machine

Spice up your language with buzzwords
