NPC Takeover

2022-11-28T00:05:38Z

RubberduckJ35:

Periodically, the NPCs do an opportunistic check to see if it is a good time to reclaim their cities from crews who no longer put in the effort to maintain their presence. If an upper has less than 1 hour of combined online time during the past week, it may signal that their district is a prime target for an easy takeover. During these takeovers, an NPC crew may spawn to attack the district's Forts as well as its uppers, residents, and visitors BG's. As time passes, they may travel to other districts and cities if they feel it will increase their effectiveness in the takeover.

Additional NPCs crews will be watching the situation unfold closely and may join the fight to aid their NPC brethren if the opportunity provided by missing-in-action uppers continues to persist long enough to warrant further help.

Please heavily consider the activity in the past week before you purchase an HQ or set a hand. Remain vigilant to ensure that your family is represented by those who provide a good example of what every member should strive to be. If a hand is unable to log in for a week, temporarily swap them out for someone who can. If a CL will be unable to log in for a week, contact the staff team with dates so that they can exempt you from this during the stated time period.

Bank

2022-05-05T10:16:49Z

RubberduckJ35:

{{TOC right}}
The bank is where all of your money is stored.

==Transfering Cash==
Here you can transfer any of the money stored in your bank to another player. Just type the name of the player and the amount you want to transfer along with an optional note

===Anonymous Transfers===
To transfer money to an anonymous person, you need their anonymous key. The anonymous transfer feature is used most often via IRC if a person does not want to be made known to the public. Another instance is if someone is collecting donations - they like to give the option to donate anonymously. To use the anonymous transfer feature just paste the anonymous code of the person you are transferring to in the 'to' section. This will send them the money Anonymously. You can also receive anonymous transfers simply by giving out your anonymous key.

===Transaction Register===
You will notice that below the cash transfer option you can view your transaction register. This will show all recent bank transactions and crewleader tributes. If you want to know your bank history further back, you may export it to a .csv file and view it in Excel or some other spreadsheet program. The transaction register is a great way to track your where your money goes.

===Tribute===
In the game, many leaders require you to tribute money to them. The Pay Tribute button is the way to do this. If you simply send money to your crewleader, it will not count towards your total earnings. To send countable tribute to your leader just type in the amount you wish to tribute and click 'Pay Tribute'

==Federal Account==
Federal Bank accounts can be accessed from any city and can be used to store money whenever you need.

==Saving Account==
A saving account is an alternative bank account that can be used by CL's to store cash that can't be accessed by their Right Hand.

===Western Union===
If you have purchased the [[Timer_Package|Timers Package]], you can choose to pay 5% of the amount in the local bank and have it transferred directly to your Federal Account. This is good for if you are low on funds and need the money from your local accounts right away.

RubberduckJ35: Adding How To Rat

{{TOC}}

==Rogue-A-Thon==
A Rogue-a-Thon, also known as a RAT event, is a randomly triggered event in #Main via lounge where 60 rounds of Rogue(ette)s are lined up ready to be murdered by you. This event relies on communication and teamwork within Lounge, to ensure there are enough people at any given time to have at least 2 people shooting the same target.

=== Eligibility ===
To participate in RAT Events you need to meet all the RAT Eligibility requirements which you can check at https://mafiareturns.com/war/rat_eligible.php.

The main requirements are:
* Active In Game.
* Active On Lounge.
* RAT Pool Enabled In Options.

To be Active In Game you need to be online and active. 
To be Active On Lounge, you need to navigate to Chat > [https://mafiareturns.com/comm/lounge/ Lounge Chat] (Rewards). This will open up a new IRC Chat Room window where you can chat with other users. From here, open up a DM with '''MRBot''' and await a message.

== How RAT's Work ==
=== The Spawning ===
When the event is spawned #Main will have a MRBOT Alert below:
<blockquote>
07:37 <&MRBot> ROGUE-A-THON: A RAT event has been spawned, queuing up 60 kills. It is up to you to keep it alive via Lounge/RAT activity.
</blockquote>

=== The Notification ===
Users who are active on-site & on Lounge will then get notifications via MRBot that they have been added to a "Pool" and can race for the kill. The maximum number of users per pool is 12, and the minimum is 2.
<blockquote>
7:18 -MRBot- ROGUE: https://mafiareturns.com/war/wack.php?user=Rogue Will be unproed in 34 seconds. Rogue-A-Thon - GO GO GO!. (Squarepusher, Mihal, TheBootyBandit, Georgette, Hamish) (This expires in a few seconds)

07:09 -MRBot- ROGUETTE: https://mafiareturns.com/war/wack.php?user=Roguette Roguette is on the warpath, INCOMING! Rogue-A-Thon - GO GO GO!. (NicholasGrimwood, FrancescitoGoyita, GuyFawkes, Georgette) (This expires in a few seconds)
</blockquote>

=== The Killing ===
Once the target is dead, the standard message will appear from MRBot, making it easy to see that people are participating and keeping the RAT alive.
<blockquote>
07:31 <&MRBot> ROGUETTE: With a final bullet, Roguette's pitiful attempt has been thwarted. The shooter beat 3 to the hit. 80 shots were fired.

07:32 <&MRBot> ROGUE: Rogue's pitiful attempt has been thwarted. The shooter beat 4 to the hit. 131 shots were fired.
</blockquote>

=== The Shame ===
Now the link does expire quickly, as this is meant to be fast and furious murdering, no lollygagging about waiting for the right moment. If your link expires, or you click an old one the bot will publicly shame you, and you run the risk of being excluded from pools for a period of time. This is like the Script Checker Buttons when Jail Events are thrown.

<blockquote>
07:32 <&MRBot> ROGUE-A-THON: Apparition is not in the hitpool. Further attempts are ignored until MrBot messages you on Lounge to tell you that you are in the pool for that particular Rogue/ette. Seeing this message multiple times will reduce your chances of being in the next few pools.
</blockquote>

=== The Rewards ===
Occasionally, when a lot of users are active in lounge and participating in RAT, if there are 5+ shooters on a target, a hustle point is awarded randomly to a family member of the person who got the kill shot.
<blockquote>
07:34 <&MRBot> Since there was a lot of competition, an additional hustle point has been awarded to a random member of the killer's crew.
07:34 <&MRBot> ROGUE: Rogue's pitiful attempt has been thwarted. The shooter beat 5 to the hit. 297 shots were fired.
</blockquote>

If you are the lucky winner of the hustle point, the following message will appear in your events:

<blockquote>
Apr 20, 06:34:38 You have received a hustle point for your crew's progress in the current RAT event happening on Lounge
</blockquote>

=== The End ===
Sadly, not all good things last, and sometimes there just aren't enough people to keep the RAT going. If only one person shoots at the target for that pool, the RAT will end with the following message in Lounge:
<blockquote>
07:37 <&MRBot> ROGUE-A-THON: Since there was no competition, RAT has been disabled. It is up to you to keep it alive via Lounge/RAT activity.

07:37 <&MRBot> ROGUE-A-THON: A RAT event has been spawned, queuing up 60 kills. It is up to you to keep it alive via Lounge/RAT activity.
</blockquote>

== FAQs & Tips ==
*Each 60 Round Rat that is completed in full gives the chance of a maximum of 17 basic kills
*The new Pied Piper Perk has a 5% chance of reducing cooldowns after a kill on RAT or being added to Pools
*The more people active in Lounge, the better. When a RAT is spawned mail, Whatsapp, smoke message your families and cities to let them know there is murdering to be done
*You can set alerts in Lounge to beep when a RAT is started. RAT might not be the best choice, but "queuing" is a good word to use
*If you use Lounge on your Android phone you can set it to the homepage and then it will alert you on your phone as well
*If you are in the pool and you are the only one shooting, it is customary to name and shame those in the pool who ruined the fun for everyone
*Squishy is exploring additional parameters for what "Triggers" you being added to a RAT pool outside of being active in lounge & game, so these may change in the future
*The Lounge Channels that qualify you for RAT are: #Main, #City, #Family, #Trivia
*If Jen calls dibs on any RAT target you must politely shoot a few times, but then stop giving her the kill.

Getting Started

RubberduckJ35: Spelling / Grammar fixes

{{TOC right}}

It can be quite the hassle learning how to navigate the world of Mafia Returns. There are so many buttons that do so many things which tends to become confusing to new players. With the assistance of this guide, created by Aislin, hopefully, you will be able to navigate and use the site and all its features to the fullest extent!

==Creating A Character==
On the Character creation page, you have two choices. You can choose to roll for your stats or you can choose to answer the questions provided to you by the admins. There are generally four different "types" of players you can be. You can be Pure Vision, Pure Wack, Pure Stealth, or a mixture of the three.

Pure Vision:
You are able to see whose were and you will be able to give the exact locations of individuals, which is very useful in times of war and IA shooting.

Pure Wack:
Pure Wack is important because of gun strength. If you have a powerful gun, you are untouchable or rather you are very hard to kill.

Pure Stealth:
Pure Stealth is equally as important as the first two. Pure Stealth allows you to not be seen. You are able to pickpocket or shoot someone and remain anonymous or at least be highly unlikely to get caught.

==Finding A Crew==
Now that you have made a character the first thing you will want to do is find a crew. Nobody can get by alone on Mafia Returns and everybody needs a crew, you have to start somewhere right? A crew will give you many things. Protection, Comradery, access to money, and information. You can see a list of all crews on the [Crews] Page.

==Making Money==
Making money is easy because in the Mafia, crime pays and it pays well. There are quite a few ways to make money in the game. The four main are found under the PROFIT tab located on the menu.

*[[Petty_Crime|Petty Crimes]]
*[[Felony_Crime|Felony Crimes]] (Available at Level 15)
*[[Organized_Crimes|Organized Crimes]] (Available at Made Man)
*[[drugs|Dealing Drugs]]

The above crimes are fairly straight forward although you can click on each of them for more information.

You will fail your first few attempts at Petty Crime, but shortly after you will succeed. Also, you should start with the lowest petty crime ''(snatch a purse)'' and work your way up. Remember this, the first is always the easiest. It’s like level one in games. Felonies take 12 minutes to perform again. Organized crimes take a bit of getting used to, so you may fail, your first couple of times. OC’s take seven hours to try again. We can only do three OC’s a day.

[[File:drugprices.png]]

Drug prices change every five minutes, so please be aware!

==Reaching 20 Units==
The first 20 units are the easiest you will ever earn, although now you've reached 20, you're gonna have to work your ass off for the next load! To help with gaining units you can either buy a Corrupt Agent (CA) or bribe an agent. A good idea is to bribe early rather than later. At a lower rank, bribe prices are a lot cheaper, the higher in rank you are the more the bribe will cost.

To bribe:
*Go to News & Info Tips
*Select 2nd Agent: "(Regular) FBN Agent" and REPEAT the process until the message on the screen has changed with the following words:

'''''“You seem to understand how this relationship works. I'll be sure to spread the word that you're good for business.”'''''

*You will then be able to sell drugs to get any units you are due!

==Personals & Witness Statements==
Personals and Witness Statements can be found on the upper left-hand corner of the screen (The little devil with the pitchfork). Under News and Info Topic, in personals. You will upon occasion find witness statements. These statements are crimes that you have seen either attempted or successfully completed. They are usually scrambled, to try to make it harder for you to decipher who the shooter or person who committed the crime. As your rank increases so does your ability to “see”. You should always forward your witness statements to your CL and try to decipher who the attacker was and any attempts on you should be forwarded as well. If a CL is not online, you should send it to the highest-ranking member of the family structure online at the time.

==Maxing Out Your Gun==
If you've decided to train your gun then your start-up answers, when you first created your character ultimately defines how you will start training your gun. On some rolls/answers, you will not have any trains to do, but on others, you will. It would then goes as follows:

If your gun is not yet maxed out (for example, you can still train at the range and have access to unlimited MIAs). Then count each kill towards your number of ranges rather than as an actual "kill". In effect, you should only start counting your kills once you have maxed out your gun. You're maxed when your contracts are no longer unlimited.

For example: Let's say you have trained at the range 10 times and have killed 7 inactives, but you do not yet have a maxed-out weapon. On your shot report, count this as 17 ranges rather than 10 ranges and 7 kills. If you range 15 times, then kill 4 inactives at which point you max out, then kill another 3 inactives, your shot record would read as 19 ranges and 3 kills.

==Wacking==
So you've maxed out your gun and you think you're ready to kill. Wacking requires a high-level skill and takes a lot of training to succeed at. In fact, it is very easy to die from just attempting it. It is certainly not for everyone. Once you have maxed your gun you will need to message your HSL (hit squad leader) listed in your Family Structure for further guidance. She/He will then take you through the steps of everything from there. Never shoot at an actual player in any situation unless you have been instructed to do so by the upper structure.

===Wack Stats===
*MIA/RIA/Sponsored Kills all give you a +1
*BG Kills give you a + .50
*BG Wounds give you +.25
Also important to know, sometimes when you kill BGs on a person who has multiple BGs it might say "you killed 6 bodyguards and wounded 1 more" anytime you see any multiples like that always know it still counts as .50, even if it says you killed 10 BGs on one shot it's still +.50.

If your gun is maxed, then any kills you get from now on go to your wack stat. Keep in mind though your total kills DO NOT EQUAL your wack stat. For example, let’s say you have 20 kills, 10 BG kills, and 4 BG Wounds. That is equal to 34 kills (20+10+4) HOWEVER it's equivalent to a wack stat of 26 and here's how:

20 kills = +20

10 bg kills = +5 (10 x .5)

4 bg wounds = 1 (4 x .25)

26 wack stat
NOTE: These are *ROUGH* estimates, and you should *always* defer to your CL or HSL to learn more information about this.

==Pick Pocketing==
First, you should check your family’s current rules on pickpocketing. Once you are clear about who you can or cannot pickpocket (if you are in any doubt, ask!) go to profit pickpocket enter the "victim's" name and attempt the pickpocket. Pickpocketing runs on a 60minute timer.

Trying people closer to your own rank and avoiding people with lots of bodyguards will increase your chances of success. Always ensure you check the person's profile first. If you Pick the Pockets of someone who is NOT PP FRIENDLY or has nothing stated in their profile, there is a chance they can Mug you for up to 90% of your on-hand cash, as well as the possibility of them taking your gun.

==Jail Breaking==
Jailbreaking is a skill that does not require you to train and depending on your character's "built in" skills and weaknesses, you will find that some will require you to put more work into it, than others. The jail is located under the Action tab, but if you have timers it is located on the timers bar (click the J). Always start trying to bust out individuals with 0 guards and once you are able to do those without fail it is time to move up. Try 1 and 2 guards and repeat and before you know it you will be in the twenties.

===Starting a jail lockdown===
You can launch a Jail in one of a few ways.
https://mafiareturns.com/credits/spend.php
You can launch a full jail (1 credit) via this page, or half of a jail (.5 credit) via this page. You may also visit the jail page directly - https://mafiareturns.com/war/jail.php - and "chip in" towards the Lockdown using partial credits (.25, .5, .75)

If there are no Credits purchasable in the Marketplace to use for these, you may also launch a jail by spending $525,000 in-game cash.

Developing and using your Jail Breaking skill is one of the single most rewarding ways to accelerate your progress in terms of character experience.

==Role Playing==
Role-Playing Your character is a mobster based in the prohibition period of the United States (circa 1920-30s). The streets and business districts of each city are for role-playing only. Keep in mind the era that we are in, the mob, and how you want to portray your character when posting. You cannot reference things such as cellphones, the slang of the 21 century, and things that have not yet happened. The HQ forum tends to have both in character and out-of-character components to it. Post as you see fit. OOC (out of character), Outside, and Help forums do not need to be in character and you can speak of the game and not have to role-play here. Streets and Business District Forums are strictly in character role-play only. Roleplay is an art. It is what this entire world was founded on and many people take it very seriously!

It can be a difficult skill to develop and there are some remarkable practitioners of it active in our world. There are many ways to develop your skill and confidence with RP and the various elements of public speaking. As with anything else, do not be afraid to ask for help. We will do all we can to help. A lot of people tend to start by posting in bars in the various city Business District forums. As you get more comfortable with the format, style, and interplay of the varied participants, it can be natural to move outward towards the Streets forum and the community at large.

If you want to get a feel for the whole side of this world, just read, read, read! Note By roleplaying in the Streets and in the Business District forum you can in fact increase your vision of how many mobsters you see in the locals. However, always remember what you say outside of your family is a direct representation of your family. So, be respectful at all times! You do not have to agree with what someone else says, but you must remain respectful at all times. Possible consequences for disrespect: No promo, demoted, and shot if the situation was truly bad.

==IRC==
Using IRC is very helpful. Not only in the getting to know one another way but also very handy in helping us in times of need such as wars or other issues. It can also be a quick way to get hold of your family's administration in times of need. It's understood that not everyone can use IRC however and so on but for those of you who can feel free to join your family's IRC channel.

Important note about IRC (aka Coffeeshops): Your behavior here represents your family. Do not discuss things such as guns or get hostile. If you have a problem there then contact one of your upper structures for guidance.

Casino

RubberduckJ35: /* Slots */

{{TOC right}}

Casinos are possibly one of the quickest ways to make and lose money on Mafiareturns. They are owned by the players and as such it is their money you win. The [[bank|banks]] vault is limited to what ever the owner puts in and takes out, So when it runs dry the casino is closed until the vault is refilled.
 

The game's first ever Casino was owned by CharlieCroker, former [[Ranks|Godfather]] of Los Angeles.

==='''Casino Games'''===

The Casinos have four tables available, these are Roulette, Blackjack, Slots and Craps.

==== '''Blackjack''' ====

The Blackjack table follows the Vegas Strip rules. It uses four decks and the dealer will stand on Seventeen or higher. The aim is to beat the dealer without going over Twenty one. Scoring higher than the dealer with 21 or less will payout at odds of 2:1 unless you draw Blackjack which is a card with a value of Ten (10, Jack, Queen or King) along with an Ace you will be paid out at odds of 3:2. This game is based mainly on luck but does require some skill of judgement.

You can bet a minimum of $2,000 and a Maximum of $500,000.

==== '''Slots''' ====

The aim of Slots is to match the symbols that are randomly rolled by the game. The payout odds are displayed on the same page as the one you choose your stake on. This game takes no skill but has high payouts if you hit the right symbols.

You can bet a minimum of $10,000 and a Maximum of $100,000.

==== '''Roulette''' ====

The Roulette table follows the American roulette rules. Unlike the European version it has double zero as well as single zero. On this table you can only place a single chip each spin. There are alot of variations of bet that can be placed on the roulette table which carry different payout odds: [http://rouletteonlineleague.com/img/table1.png Found here]. You can bet a minimum of $2,500 and a Maximum of $500,000.

==== '''Craps''' ====

The Craps table follows the Las Vegas Craps rules. You roll two dice and bet on the outcome, either Pass or Do Not Pass. You can bet a minimum of $20,000 and a Maximum of $500,000.

Hit List

2016-04-19T15:08:53Z

RubberduckJ35:

{{TOC right}}
==Hit List==

The Hit List is where players may place bounties on the death of another [[Wack|character]] or that character's [[bodyguards]]. Another player that kills the target of a hit will automatically be credited with the posted reward.

Hits can be placed for any reason or for no reason. The person placing the hit may choose to remain Anonymous, or to have his name posted as the one who issued the hit. It may also be necessary to use the hit list when attempting to [[Wack|kill]] an offline character; the potential victim cannot be "found" without a hit being placed on the victim.

''Note: To place an anonymous hit on another player, you will pay 25% of the hit's cost as a fee for anonymous, or 100k, whichever is greater. You must have done enough petties to earn a gun before you can post a hit on the hitlist.''

==Player Hits==
A hit may be placed on another player. The base price of $10,000 plus $1,000 per rank of the victim is automatically added to whatever number a player enters in the "reward offered" field. To place a hit on another player, you must be in a crew and gangster+.

An additional $50k per rank will be automatically added if you wish to appear anonymous.

==Bodyguard Hits==
A hit may also be placed on another player's bodyguards. The base price of a bodyguard hit is calculated the same as a player hit. The base price is automatically deducted from the player's cash in addition to the reward posted.

A bodyguard hit is automatically credited to the account of another player when they shoot and kill a bodyguard owned by the target.

==Hit List Costs==
The base price of $10,000 plus $1,000 per rank of the victim is automatically added to whatever number a player enters in the "reward offered" field.

==Additional Options==
A player will often wish to appear anonymous -- that is, to have his name withheld from the "posted by" field of the hitlist. This prevents the hit from expiring by reprisal against the player that posted the hit.

An additional $50k per rank will be automatically added to the price of listing the hit if you wish to appear anonymous.

Durden

RubberduckJ35:

{{TOC right}}
The [http://mafiareturns.com/news/uprofile.php?id=382917 TylerDurden] gang shows up every once in a while, they are a fun way to improve your shooting skills. The frequency of their arrival depends on a certain amount of [[MIA|MIAs]] purchased. The size of the crew is related to the amount of people active at the time of their arrival. Every once in a while, in certain events or celebrations they can arrive in the hundreds even!

Their level of protection is random so some of them will be very easy to kill but not others. As a general rule, a member of this crew will be easier to kill than a regular active player of the same rank.

==Now With Duct tape==
During the Tyler invasions, he will dedicate some members of his crew to maintain the integrity of their HQ's fortifications. It's a losing battle though, it will always eventually fall.

==TylerDurden, MarlaSinger, and RobertPaulson==
These three can only die once all of the other members of the crew have died. They also die in the specific order of lower rank first. They are considerably [http://mafiareturns.com/comm/thread/288318#295493 difficult] to shoot and should only be attempted with a well-trained gun.

==Danger==
All members of the Durden crew [[NPC]] return fire! So, if you attempt to kill them and fail - they will try to kill you!

From the pits of the sewers the Rogue appears. He stands in the middle of the street with his long leather jacket covering his arms. He stands, head facing down to the ground waiting for the perfect moment. The moment comes and he raises his arms, a gun in each hand! He looks round and slowly begins to squeeze the trigger when suddenly you appear from the side street and pop a shot right through the Rogue's skull. Good job, You earned a kill!

=== What is a Rogue? ===
A Rogue is an NPC that spawns at random times throughout the day. They can be killed by any player of any rank as long as the player has a weapon. If the player is unsuccessfull in their kill then the rogue will be "pro'd" and will not be able to be shot until 3-5 minutes after the shot has been made.

=== How to follow the Rogue? ===
You will be able to see the Rogue show up in the online list. He has a white bold name which is underlined.

When the Rogue has been pro'd a notification will show on IRC such as:
''[14:15] <~MafiaReturns> ROGUE: Proed until :21 after''

When the Rogue has been killed a notification will show on IRC such as:
''[14:21] <~MafiaReturns> ROGUE: Visas has ended the rogue's pitiful attempt. They beat 11 to the hit. 2271 shots were fired.''
This will tell you who killed the Rogue and how many shots where fired in total as well as how many shots they beat to the kill.

Grave Robbing

2015-08-14T13:38:40Z

RubberduckJ35:

The grave robbing page allows you to steal the contents of a player's final resting place and fence it for cash. This will net somewhere between $500 and $15,000 for the grave robber, which depends on the wealth and rank of the deceased. This action is available only to players below the rank of Made Man. Higher ranking individuals no longer have access to this feature.

Grave robbing uses the [[Pickpocket]] timer and can be performed once every hour. The target of a grave robbing must have been be deceased for a period of at least 24 hours before a grave robbing may be attempted. Further, the grave robber must be located in the city in which the target died, but attempts while located in the wrong city will not consume the pickpocket timer. Finally, a grave may only be robbed once.

No witness statements are generated for grave robbing attempts, whether or not successful. The only way for a player to know whether they have been grave robbed, or by whom, is for another player to admit to the act.

It is rumored that grave robbing will provide substantial gains to [[Pickpocket]] skills and experience points. Your PickPocket Perk will also trigger grave robbing adrenaline rushes.

Event three

2015-06-24T15:59:46Z

RubberduckJ35:

Starting monday, all new RHM must be at least mademan or higher to be selected as a right hand man. The LHM position will require at least a wiseguy to qualify for that position as well. If the leader is a mademan themselves, there is no rank requirement for hands.

The out of game link between the hands and the crewleader is now severed. Our rules are being adjusted so that a CL is no longer liable (On the level of a DD) for the actions of their hands if said offense is done without their knowledge.

This is in relation to the ongoing conversation in the other forums about hands having a rank minimum. After reading many CLs come forward and say they do not trust their hand enough to take accountability for them, I can see how putting in a minimum requirement for a hand position would sometimes lead to a CL picking someone other than their first choice because of a game mechanic. In that case, I can see how a CL would employ a RHM that he would otherwise not really trust. Because of this, I feel that severing the tie between the accountability of the CL and their hands would now make sense. This change did not apply to the previous situation.

As far as reinstatement, in the past few debates, a few members argued successfully that reinstatement should not happen. I will reserve reinstatement to cases where it is fully warranted in cases like code error, or mistakes.

*More news can be found on the [[Main_Page|main page]]!

Event one

2015-06-24T15:59:10Z

RubberduckJ35:

A while ago we put in code so that if a sponsor ignores a possible associate who has done jobs for them for more than a certain time frame, their sponsor ability is temporarily toggled off.

We then added in code so that if your sponsors had pretty bad contact rates, it would push you further down the list.

This so far has not been successful.

We are now working on code that if you continually get toggled off, you will be toggled of with a waiting period before you can be turned back on. If this is not enough, we will be slightly more aggressive and disable the entire crews invite ability for a time period until the matter can be resolved.

It's really disheartening to see advertising money just blowing out the window because a few select individuals are content with getting shut off multiple times a day, yet just keep turning it back on and ignoring the possible associates doing job :/

*More news can be found on the [[Main_Page|main page]]!

Event two

2015-06-24T15:59:03Z

RubberduckJ35:

To tie in with the original hand rank requirements, starting soon - a CL can not receive a promotion if his current hands do not meet the minimum rank requirement to be a hand. You will either need to wait until your hands qualify, or remove the under-ranked hands.

RubberduckJ35:

{{TOC right}}

It can be quite the hassle learning how to navigate the word of Mafia Returns. There are so many buttons that do so many things which tends to become confusing to new players. With the assistance of this guide, created by Aislin, hopefully you will be able navigate and use the site and all it's features to the fullest extent!

==Creating A Character==
On the Character creation page, you have two choices. You can choose to roll for your stats or you can choose to answer the questions provided to you by the admins. There are generally four different "types" of players you can be. You can be Pure Vision, Pure Wack or Pure Stealth or a mixture of the three.

Pure Vision:
You are able to see whose where and you will be able to give the exact locations of individuals, which is very useful in times of war and IA shooting.

Pure Wack:
Pure Wack is important because of gun strength. If you have a powerful gun, you are untouchable or rather you are very hard to kill.

Pure Stealth:
Pure Stealth is equally as important as the first two. Pure Stealth allows you to not be seen. You are able to pickpocket or shoot someone and remain anonymous or at least be highly unlikely to get caught.

==Finding A Crew==
Now that you have made a character the first thing you will want to do is find a crew. Nobody can get by alone on Mafia Returns and everybody needs a crew, you have to start somewhere right? A crew will give you many things. Protection, Comradery, access to money and information. You can see a list of all crews on the [Crews] Page.

==Making Money==
Making money is easy, because in the Mafia, crime pays and it pays well. There are quite a few ways to make money in the game. The four main are found under the PROFIT tab located on the menu.

*[[Petty_Crime|Petty Crimes]]
*[[Felony_Crime|Felony Crimes]] (Available at Earner)
*[[Organized_Crimes|Organized Crimes]] (Available at Made Man)
*[[drugs|Dealing Drugs]]

The above crimes are fairly straight forward although you can click on each of them for more information.

You will fail your first couple of times with petties, but shortly after you will succeed. Also, you should start with the first petty and work your way up. Remember this, the first is always the easiest. It’s like level one in games. Felonies take 12 minutes to perform again. Organized crimes take a bit of getting used to, so you may fail, your first couple of times. OC’s take seven hours to try again. We can only do three OC’s a day.

[[File:drugprices.png]]

Drug prices change every five minutes, so please be aware!

==Reaching 20 Units==
The first 20 units are the easiest you will ever earn, although now you've reached 20, you're gonna have to work your ass off for the next load! To help with gaining units you can either buy a Corrupt Agent (CA) or bribe an agent. A good idea is to bribe early rather than later. At a lower rank, bribe prices are a lot cheaper, the higher in rank you are the more the bribe will cost.

To bribe:
*Go to News & Info Tips
*Select 2nd Agent: "(Regular) FBN Agent" and REPEAT the process until the message on the screen has changed with the following words:

'''''“You seem to understand how this relationship works. I'll be sure to spread the word that you're good for business.”'''''

*You will then be able to sell drugs to get any units you are due!

==Personals & Witness Statements==
Personals and Witness Statements can be found on the upper left hand corner of the screen (The little devil with the pitchfork). Under News and Info Topic, in personals. You will upon occasion find witness statements. These statements are crimes that you have seen either attempted or successfully completed. They are usually scrambled, to try to make harder for you to decipher who the shooter or person who committed the crime. As your rank increases so does your ability to “see”. You should always forward your witness statements to your CL and try to decipher who the attacker was and any attempts on you should be forwarded as well. If a CL is not online, you should send it to the highest ranking member of the family structure online at the time.

==Maxing Out Your Gun==
If you've decided to train your gun then your start-up answers, when you first created your character ultimately defines how you will start training your gun. On some rolls/answers you will not have any trains to do, but on others you will. It would then goes as follows:

If your gun is not yet maxed out (example: you can still train at the range and have access to unlimited MIAs). Then count each kill towards your number of ranges rather than as an actual "kill". In effect, you should only start counting your kills once you have maxed out your gun. You're maxed when your contracts are no longer unlimited.

For example: Let's say you have trained at the range 10 times and have killed 7 inactives, but you do not yet have a maxed-out weapon. On your shot report, count this as 17 ranges rather than 10 ranges and 7 kills. If you range 15 times, then kill 4 inactives at which point you max out, then kill another 3 inactives, your shot record would read as 19 ranges and 3 kills.

==Wacking==
So you've maxed out your gun and you think you're ready to kill. Wacking requires a high level skill and takes a lot of training to succeed at. In fact it is very easy to die from just attempting it. It is certainly not for everyone. Once you have maxed your gun you will need to message your HSL (hit squad leader) listed in your Family Structure for further guidance. She/He will then take you through the steps of everything from there. Never shoot at an actual player in any situation unless you have been instructed to do so by the upper structure.

===Wack Stats===
*MIA/RIA/Sponsored Kills all give you a +1
*BG Kills give you a + .50
*BG Wounds give you +.25
Also important to know, sometimes when you kill BGs on a person who has multiple BGs it might say "you killed 6 bodyguards and wounded 1 more" anytime you see any multiples like that always know it still counts as .50, even if it says you killed 10 BGs on one shot it's still +.50.

If your gun is maxed, then any kills you get from now on goes to your wack stat. Keep in mind though your total kills DOES NOT EQUAL your wack stat. For example, let’s say you have 20 kills, 10 BG kills and 4 BG Wounds. That is equal to 34 kills (20+10+4) HOWEVER it's equivalent to a wack stat of 26 and here's how:

20 kills = +20

10 bg kills = +5 (10 x .5)

4 bg wounds = 1 (4 x .25)

26 wack stat

==Pick Pocketing==
First you should check your family’s current rules on pick pocketing. Once you are clear who you can or cannot pickpocket (if you are in any doubt, ask!) go to profit pickpocket enter the "victim's" name and attempt the pickpocket. Pickpocketing runs on a 60minute timer.

Trying people closer to your own rank and avoiding people with lots of body guards, will increase your chances of success. Always ensure you check the person's profile first. Do not pick pocket “unfriendlies” and do not attempt those who have nothing written either.

Just not worth the hassle it can bring. Another thing to mention here is City Rules - it's always a good idea to read them to be in the know too.

==Jail Breaking==
Jailbreaking is a skill that does not require you to train and depending on your characters "built in" skills and weaknesses, you will find that some will require you to put more work into it, than other. The jail is located under the war tab, but if you have timers it is located on the timers bar (click the J). Always start trying to bust out indviduas with 0 guards and once you are able to do those without fail it is time to move up. Try 1 and 2 guards and repeat snd before you know it you will be in the twenties. Jail breaking is easier in the easy cities and much more harder in the hard cities.

===Starting a jail lockdown===
Often you will find that someone has started a jail lockdown or someone has put money towards starting one or even you may want to start a jail lockdown. The option to do so will cost you only 1 credit for a full lockdown. You can do this by going to the jail page and selecting "crackdown on the criminals". You have two choices before getting there. You can pay the gods $1 per crackdown (credit) via PayPal, or you can find people who sell the crackdown credits for game money under management, marketplace.

Either way, developing and using your Jail Breaking skill is one of the single most powerful ways to accelerate your progress in terms of character's experience.

==Role Playing==
Role Playing Your character is a mobster based in the prohibition period of the United States (circa 1920-30’s). The streets and business districts of each city are for role playing only. Keep in mind the era that we are in, the mob and how you want to portray your character when posting. You cannot references things such as cellphones, slang of the 21 century and things that have not yet happened. The HQ forum tends to have both in character and out of character components to it. Post as you see fit. OOC (out of character), Outside and Help forums do not need to be in character and you can speak of the game and not have to role-play here. Streets and Business District Forums are strictly in character role play only. Role play is an art. It is what this entire world was founded on and many people take it very seriously!

It can be a difficult skill to develop and there are some remarkable practitioners of it active in our world. There are many ways to develop your skill and confidence with RP and the various elements of public speaking. As with anything else, do not be afraid to ask for help. We will do all we can to help. A lot of people tend to start by posting in bars in the various city Business District forums. As you get more comfortable with the format, style and interplay of the varied participants, it can be natural to move outward towards the Streets forum and the community at large.

If you want to get a feel for the whole side of this world, just read, read, read! Note By roleplaying in the Streets and in the Business District forum you can in fact increase your vision of how many mobsters you see in the locals. However always remember what you say outside of your family is a direct representation of your family. So, be respectful at all times! You do not have to agree with what someone else says, but you must remain respectful at all times. Possible consequences for disrespct: No promo, demoted, and shot if the situation was truly bad.

==IRC==
Using IRC is very helpful. Not only in the getting to know one another way but also very handy in helping us in times of need such as wars or other issues. It can also be a quick way to get hold of your families administration in times of need. It's understood that not everyone can use IRC however and so on but for those of you who can feel free to join your families IRC channel.

Important note about IRC (aka Coffeeshops): Your behavior here represent your family. Do not discuss things such as guns or get hostile. If you have a problem there then contact one of your upper structures for guidance.

If you range 15 times, then kill 4 inactives at which point you max out, then kill another 3 inactives, your shot record would read as 19 ranges and 3 kills.

==Whacking==
So you've maxed out your gun and you think you're ready to kill. Whacking requires a high level skill and takes a lot of training to succeed at. In fact it is very easy to die from just attempting it. It is certainly not for everyone. Once you have maxed your gun you will need to message your HSL (hit squad leader) listed in your Family Structure for further guidance. She/He will then take you through the steps of everything from there. Never shoot at an actual player in any situation unless you have been instructed to do so by the upper structure.

===Whack Stats===
*MIA/RIA/Sponsored Kills all give you a +1
*BG Kills give you a + .50
*BG Wounds give you +.25
Also important to know, sometimes when you kill BGs on a person who has multiple BGs it might say "you killed 6 bodyguards and wounded 1 more" anytime you see any multiples like that always know it still counts as .50, even if it says you killed 10 BGs on one shot it's still +.50.

If your gun is maxed, then any kills you get from now on goes to your whack stat. Keep in mind though your total kills DOES NOT EQUAL your whack stat. For example, let’s say you have 20 kills, 10 BG kills and 4 BG Wounds. That is equal to 34 kills (20+10+4) HOWEVER it's equivalent to a whack stat of 26 and here's how:

20 kills = +20

10 bg kills = +5 (10 x .5)

4 bg wounds = 1 (4 x .25)

26 whack stat

==Pick Pocketing==
First you should check your family’s current rules on pick pocketing. Once you are clear who you can or cannot pickpocket (if you are in any doubt, ask!) go to profit pickpocket enter the "victim's" name and attempt the pickpocket. Pickpocketing runs on a 60minute timer.

Trying people closer to your own rank and avoiding people with lots of body guards, will increase your chances of success. Always ensure you check the person's profile first. Do not pick pocket “unfriendlies” and do not attempt those who have nothing written either.

Just not worth the hassle it can bring. Another thing to mention here is City Rules - it's always a good idea to read them to be in the know too.

==Jail Breaking==
Jailbreaking is a skill that does not require you to train and depending on your characters "built in" skills and weaknesses, you will find that some will require you to put more work into it, than other. The jail is located under the war tab, but if you have timers it is located on the timers bar (click the J). Always start trying to bust out indviduas with 0 guards and once you are able to do those without fail it is time to move up. Try 1 and 2 guards and repeat snd before you know it you will be in the twenties. Jail breaking is easier in the easy cities and much more harder in the hard cities.

===Starting a jail lockdown===
Often you will find that someone has started a jail lockdown or someone has put money towards starting one or even you may want to start a jail lockdown. The option to do so will cost you only 1 credit for a full lockdown. You can do this by going to the jail page and selecting "crackdown on the criminals". You have two choices before getting there. You can pay the gods $1 per crackdown (credit) via PayPal, or you can find people who sell the crackdown credits for game money under management, marketplace.

Either way, developing and using your Jail Breaking skill is one of the single most powerful ways to accelerate your progress in terms of character's experience.

==Role Playing==
Role Playing Your character is a mobster based in the prohibition period of the United States (circa 1920-30’s). The streets and business districts of each city are for role playing only. Keep in mind the era that we are in, the mob and how you want to portray your character when posting. You cannot references things such as cellphones, slang of the 21 century and things that have not yet happened. The HQ forum tends to have both in character and out of character components to it. Post as you see fit. OOC (out of character), Outside and Help forums do not need to be in character and you can speak of the game and not have to role-play here. Streets and Business District Forums are strictly in character role play only. Role play is an art. It is what this entire world was founded on and many people take it very seriously!

It can be a difficult skill to develop and there are some remarkable practitioners of it active in our world. There are many ways to develop your skill and confidence with RP and the various elements of public speaking. As with anything else, do not be afraid to ask for help. We will do all we can to help. A lot of people tend to start by posting in bars in the various city Business District forums. As you get more comfortable with the format, style and interplay of the varied participants, it can be natural to move outward towards the Streets forum and the community at large.

If you want to get a feel for the whole side of this world, just read, read, read! Note By roleplaying in the Streets and in the Business District forum you can in fact increase your vision of how many mobsters you see in the locals. However always remember what you say outside of your family is a direct representation of your family. So, be respectful at all times! You do not have to agree with what someone else says, but you must remain respectful at all times. Possible consequences for disrespct: No promo, demoted, and shot if the situation was truly bad.

==IRC==
Using IRC is very helpful. Not only in the getting to know one another way but also very handy in helping us in times of need such as wars or other issues. It can also be a quick way to get hold of your families administration in times of need. It's understood that not everyone can use IRC however and so on but for those of you who can feel free to join your families IRC channel.

Important note about IRC (aka Coffeeshops): Your behavior here represent your family. Do not discuss things such as guns or get hostile. If you have a problem there then contact one of your upper structures for guidance.

It can be quite the hassle learning how to navigate the word of Mafia Returns. There are so many buttons that do so many things which tends to become confusing to new players. With the assistance of this guide, created by Aislin, hopefully you will be able navigate and use the site and all it's features to the fullest extent!

==Creating A Character==
On the Character creation page, you have two choices. You can choose to roll for your stats or you can choose to answer the questions provided to you by the admins. There are generally four different "types" of players you can be. You can be Pure Vision, Pure Whack or Pure Stealth or a mixture of the three.

Pure Vision:
You are able to see whose where and you will be able to give the exact locations of individuals, which is very useful in times of war and IA shooting.

Pure Whack:
Pure Whack is important because of gun strength. If you have a powerful gun, you are untouchable or rather you are very hard to kill.

Pure Stealth:
Pure Stealth is equally as important as the first two. Pure Stealth allows you to not be seen. You are able to pickpocket or shoot someone and remain anonymous or at least be highly unlikely to get caught.

==Finding A Crew==
Now that you have made a character the first thing you will want to do is find a crew. Nobody can get by alone on Mafia Returns and everybody needs a crew, you have to start somewhere right? A crew will give you many things. Protection, Comradery, access to money and information. You can see a list of all crews on the [Crews] Page.

==Making Money==
Making money is easy, because in the Mafia, crime pays and it pays well. There are quite a few ways to make money in the game. The four main are found under the PROFIT tab located on the menu.

*[[Petty_Crime|Petty Crimes]]
*[[Felony_Crime|Felony Crimes]] (Available at Earner)
*[[Organized_Crimes|Organized Crimes]] (Available at Made Man)
*[[drugs|Dealing Drugs]]

The above crimes are fairly straight forward although you can click on each of them for more information.

You will fail your first couple of times with petties, but shortly after you will succeed. Also, you should start with the first petty and work your way up. Remember this, the first is always the easiest. It’s like level one in games. Felonies take 12 minutes to perform again. Organized crimes take a bit of getting used to, so you may fail, your first couple of times. OC’s take seven hours to try again. We can only do three OC’s a day.

[[File:drugprices.png]]

Drug prices change every five minutes, so please be aware!

==Reaching 20 Units==
The first 20 units are the easiest you will ever earn, although now you've reached 20, you're gonna have to work your ass off for the next load! To help with gaining units you can either buy a Corrupt Agent (CA) or bribe an agent. A good idea is to bribe early rather than later. At a lower rank, bribe prices are a lot cheaper, the higher in rank you are the more the bribe will cost.

To bribe:
*Go to News & Info Tips
*Select 2nd Agent: "(Regular) FBN Agent" and REPEAT the process until the message on the screen has changed with the following words:

'''''“You seem to understand how this relationship works. I'll be sure to spread the word that you're good for business.”'''''

*You will then be able to sell drugs to get any units you are due!

==Personals & Witness Statements==
Personals and Witness Statements can be found on the upper left hand corner of the screen (The little devil with the pitchfork). Under News and Info Topic, in personals. You will upon occasion find witness statements. These statements are crimes that you have seen either attempted or successfully completed. They are usually scrambled, to try to make harder for you to decipher who the shooter or person who committed the crime. As your rank increases so does your ability to “see”. You should always forward your witness statements to your CL and try to decipher who the attacker was and any attempts on you should be forwarded as well. If a CL is not online, you should send it to the highest ranking member of the family structure online at the time.

==Maxing Out Your Gun==
If you've decided to train your gun then your start-up answers, when you first created your character ultimately defines how you will start training your gun. On some rolls/answers you will not have any trains to do, but on others you will. It would then goes as follows:

If your gun is not yet maxed out (example: you can still train at the range and have access to unlimited MIAs). Then count each kill towards your number of ranges rather than as an actual "kill". In effect, you should only start counting your kills once you have maxed out your gun. You're maxed when your contracts are no longer unlimited.

For example: Let's say you have trained at the range 10 times and have killed 7 inactives, but you do not yet have a maxed-out weapon. On your shot report, count this as 17 ranges rather than 10 ranges and 7 kills. If you range 15 times, then kill 4 inactives at which point you max out, then kill another 3 inactives, your shot record would read as 19 ranges and 3 kills.

The Godfather of the center district of each city may now choose to step into the role of Godfather - Chairman of that city. This roll confers a few benefits:

*The rank of "GF - Chairman"
*A boost to the Chairman's marksmanship and defense based on the loyalty of the other crew leaders in their city.
**This boost also affects his Right and Left hand men to a lesser amount.
**This boost only works against people in or from the Chairman's city.
*The Chairman will receive half of the taxes paid to the Mayor.

Once a Godfather chooses to take the role of chairman, their new title is automatically set and all other crew leaders in their city will receive a personal letting them know of this. The other benefits (boosts and taxes) will take 7 days from the time Chairman is taken to become active. A Chairman may step down at any time and all benefits are lost immediately, they may retake the role at any time but will have to wait the 7 days again.

All crew leaders may choose to set their loyalty to the Chairman in their crew settings (Loyal\Undecided\Disloyal) and this will affect the Chairmans boosts to marksmanship and defense but not to taxes. This setting is only viewable and settable by the crew leader themselves.

As part of this, we have implemented the ability for a Godfather or a Don that is eligible to take Godfather to move to the center district of their city for free (no cost and DFPs remain intact) as long as the center district has no living crew leaders. If a Godfather takes the free move to the center district, any other two crews from that city may also move with that Godfather for free. If a Don takes the move, no other crews may follow for free, also the Don is not required to take the Godfather promotion after they move but may if they see fit.

As part of this, we have implemented the ability for a Godfather or a Don that is eligible to take Godfather to move to the center district of their city for free (no cost an2d DFPs remain intact) as long as the center district has no living crew leaders. If a Godfather takes the free move to the center district, any other two crews from that city may also move with that Godfather for free. If a Don takes the move, no other crews may follow for free, also the Don is not required to take the Godfather promotion after they move but may if they see fit.

RubberduckJ35: /* Defense */

{{TOC right}}

From the moment you create your character in Mafia Returns, you have a set of "Skills". These skills are generated with the "Roll" feature in the character creation page. From that moment, you set out to improve (most of) these skills as you play. These skills are the basis for your interaction with the game, so choose them wisely.

===Wack===
Referred to as "Marksmanship" in the character creation page, this skill is used to attack and end the lives of other players. This skill is used in the [[Wack]] and [[BG Wack]] features. When you start, it is wise to visit the [[Shooting Range]] until you can train no more. Once you've use the Shooting Range as much as possible, you can continue to improve your Wack skill by shooting other players and Non-Playing Characters (NPCs). This is a very dangerous skill to train, so it is wise to contact your leader before you make the step from Shooting Ranges to training on NPCs and other players. The development of this skill allows your character to kill others, so it can be a very valuable asset if trained well. As this skill improves, you will be able to kill higher-ranked and better-protected players.

===Pick Pocket===
Referred to as "Physique" in the character creation page, this skill is used to attack players by stealing their money. This skill is used in the [[Pickpocket]] (PP) feature, and the only way to increase your PP skill is to pick people's pockets. The maximum amount of money you can steal from a player is $5,000. However, if a pickpocket is performed in retaliation (someone pickpockets you first), you have the ability to "Mug" them. This is significantly more harmful to your target, as you can steal significantly more than $5,000 and jumble their flight and wack timers. Typically, players who invite pickpocketing have "Pickpocket friendly" in their profile, and will not attack you if you pickpocket them (though they do normally request that you send the money back). However, it is wise to always check the rules for the city you are in to ensure that no harm will come to you for pickpocketing someone. If you aren't sure, just stick to people you know.

===Stealth===
Referred to as "Stealthiness" in the character creation page, this skill is used when attacking players. This skill cannot be increased from when you sign up, the higher it is, the more likely your name will be shrouded in the "[[Witness Statements|Witness Statement]]" for your attack. This skill is supplemented by [[Skills#Vision|Vision]]. The higher your stealthiness, the more vision necessary to see your name in the [[Locals|locals]] and to decipher your name in [[Witness Statements|witness statements]].

===Defense===
Referred to as "Defense" in the character creation page, this skill protects you from attacks. This skill cannot be trained, but can be increased by purchasing [[BG_Management|Bodyguards]]. 
Note that having 100 Defense skill will give you the benefit of a 5% additional failure rate when wacked at. 99 Defense will give you the benefit of a 4% additional failure rate when wacked at. 98 Defense will give you the benefit of a 3% additional failure rate when wacked at. 97 Defense will give you the benefit of a 2% additional failure rate when wacked at. 96 Defense will give you the benefit of a 1% additional failure rate when wacked at.

===Jail Breaking===
Referred to as "Breaking and Entering" in the character creation page, this skill provides you with the ability to break other players out of [[Jail]]. This skill is trained by the successful breaking-out of a fellow player (it is wise to start with players being guarded by very few guards). This skill is quite valuable, as jail-breaking provides experience that goes towards increasing your rank (Gangster, Goomba, Earner, etc.). This skill does not decay, so once you are able to break out 20-guard players (admins), you will be able to consistently break them out (though there is a small element of chance to this, so you may fail a jail-break at any time, regardless of guard number or skill).

===Crime===
Referred to as "Intimidation" in the character creation page, this skill determines your success in crimes ([[Petty Crime]] and [[Felony_Crime|Felonies]]). This skill is trained (rather quickly) through successfully completing crimes. Once you're able to successfully "Rob the Local Post Office" consistently, training this skill loses its importance.

===Vision===
Referred to as "Street Smarts" in the character creation page, this skill determines how well you can identify your fellow players in [[Locals]] and [[Witness Statements]]. This skill is trained by posting in the [[Forums#Streets|Streets]] and [[Forums#Business_District|Business District]] forums. As this skill increases, you will be able to see players with higher stealth, and witness statements will contain less asterisks (*), allowing you to decipher the culprit.

Spend Credits

2014-10-24T12:57:30Z

RubberduckJ35: /* Reserve a Character Name */

{{TOC right}}
Players can '''spend credits''' on MafiaReturns for various perks that are tied to the master account. These perks generally last 30 days per purchase, but can be bought in advance prior to expiration and the time will be stacked. These perks are tied to the master account and not to the character; in the event of death any time remaining on perks will carry over to the next character created.

==Timers Package==
The Timers Package costs 5 credits, and grants a variety of items that make playing the game easier.

* Attack/Petty/Felony/Jail/Flight/Alt timers: The game will notify you when you are eligible to do your next action.
[[File:Timers.jpg]]
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| M: || [[MIA|MIA]]

|}
* Jail Stats Display: Displays how many jails you have done recently and what XP tier you are currently in.
[[File:XPTierJail.jpg]]

* Western Union Money From Any City: Transfer money to your central bank from any location.
When a player is granted the ability to become a sponsor, the taxes generated from associates will be automatically deposited in a city-specific bank account. The Western Union Transfer allows for these funds to be sent to the Federal account, which can be accessed in any location. Normally, city accounts can only be accessed if the player is in the same city as the account.
 
* [[File:LocalsActive.jpg|thumb|An active player in the locals]]Informative Locals: Online players are displayed in bold for easier identification and tracking. Displays number of TylerDurdens that are currently in your location.
In the Locals page, online players who can be seen will be shown in bold, along with '[A]' beside their name. If there are any TylerDurden NPCs in your current city, at the bottom of page they will be mentioned, "You have tabs on __ of __ Durdens". 

* [[File:DrugAdditions.jpg|thumb|Drug related additions from the Timers Package]] City & Drug Specific Tips: Maximize your profit by checking on prices before you fly. Get tips by city or by a specific drug.
In addition to city and drug specific tips (cost of tips increase as you gain more drug units), the timers package also includes a 'Quick Buy' function on the drugs page, which allows players to instantly sell any drugs they possess and purchase a full load of the drug they selected to buy. The timers package also shows the current Minimum/Maximum and Average drug prices for each drug, grouped into city pairs (CH\DT and NY\PH).

* Search Forums: Search the forums to find matching threads.

* Profile Notes: Save personal notes on each characters profile.

==Full Lockdown==

* Bribe the police to do a major crackdown and fill the jail of a particular city with hoodlums. You can then bust people out of jail to better your skills and gain experience points. You can purchase a large or a small crackdown.

A lockdown can be purchased for any city, a full lockdown can be bought for 1 credit, and a partial can be bought for 0.5. The total amount of people to be thrown into jail is displayed on the spend page, and can vary. Purchasing a full lockdown also grants your account the ability to be immediately released from jail if you fail a jailbreak.

From the jail page, you may now put in credits towards the next jail. This is done in increments of 25 cents and when the pool hits $1.00, then the jail will commence like normal.

==Corrupt Agent==
[[Corrupt Agents|Corrupt Agents]] can be purchased at a cost 10 credits each, and players are limited to two active agents at any given time. When purchased, they can be accessed through the [[Payroll_Management|payroll]].

* Bribing a [[Corrupt Agents|corrupt agent]] will get them to do your dirty work. He will give you drugs to resell at a severely discounted price, plus any drug seizures he gets, you get a little on the side.

Drugs are purchased from the agent at $4,500 each, the cost will be subtracted automatically from the selling transaction, which is based on the current price of cocaine in the present district. The formula for the units is 2(d)+ 10 where d is the amount of days active. Every 24 hours drug batches would be produced as 12, 14, 16, 18...

*His official connections at work will also keep you from going to jail from failed jail breaks, as well as occasionally benefit your family members too.

*After 1 month, his corruption is discovered and he is forced to retire. [[File:CADeathReminder.jpg|thumb|A retiring agent notification]]

Agents will last 31 days before forcibly dying; 24 hours before an agent will die the player will receive a notification as a reminder.

==Rename a Corrupt Agent==
This option costs 1 credit and lasts for the remainder of their lifetime.

* Rename one of your Corrupt Agents to a name of your choice.

* Also allows you to upload a profile picture and set the Agent's quote.

==Perks==
[[File:Perkadrenaline.jpg|thumb|A perk being activated]]Perks cost 1 credit each and last for 30 days. If the perk is active, it grants between a 5-10% chance of not using the player's cooldown timer when doing the action it covers, allowing the player to repeat the action.

* Petty Proficiency Perk - Execute the perfect crime. Gives you a 10% chance to not have your timer used when you do a petty crime. You are instantly able to do another.

* Felony Proficiency Perk - Execute the perfect crime. Gives you a 10% chance to not have your timer used when you do a felony crime. You are instantly able to do another.

* Attack Proficiency Perk - Execute the perfect attack. Gives you a 5% chance to not have your timer used when you do an attack crime. You are instantly able to do another.

* Bodyguard Cleanup Perk - Clean up useless bodyguards. Gives you a 10% chance to not have your timer used when you attempt to attack a bodyguard who's employer is dead. You are instantly able to do another.

* Jail Proficiency Perk - Execute the perfect crime. Gives you a 5% chance to not have your timer used when you do a jail break. You are instantly able to do another.

* Travel Timer Perk - Gives you a 5% chance to not have your timer used when you travel to another city. You are instantly able to do another.

==Promotional Perks==
Promotional perks cannot be bought with credits, they are either awarded from the administrators, or can be randomly granted by receiving gifts for being online.

Randomly granted gifts can award any perk, but these will only last 3 days. It is also possible for the gift to be a Pick Pocket Perk, which cannot be purchased through normal means

* Pick Pocket Perk - Gives you a 10% chance to not have your timer used when you pick pocket. You are instantly able to do another.

* Durden Mapping - Allows you to track the Durden gang. [[File:DurdenMappingAwarded.jpg|thumb|The notification that a Durden Mapping credit has been issued]]
Durden Mapping shows all of the unprotected TylerDurden NPCs, and their respective locations. When the mapping token is activated, it lasts until the next incarnation of TylerDurden is killed. Mapping tokens can also be awarded by being the last five people to [[Take_On_A_Contract|purchase an MIA]] prior to a scheduled TylerDurden spawn.

* Achievement Reveal - Allows you to see your progress on your achievement.

Certain achievements on MafiaReturns require the player to do a certain amount of actions in each possible city (Example: 50 Felonies in each city). Achievement Reveal costs 1 credit on the achievements page, and reveals the weakest city for every city-based achievement. This perk lasts only for a few minutes

* DFP Stacking - Allows you to bribe your [[Drug_Front_Property|DFP]] for up to 7 days. [[File:DFPStacked.jpg|thumb|A Drug Front Property affected by DFP Stacking]]
The purpose of [[Drug_Front_Property|DFP]] stacking is to allow more buffer time between bribes, lessening the chance that a player would lose their [[Drug_Front_Property|DFP]] due to failure to bribe. When bribing for a [[Drug_Front_Property|DFP]], the timer is still extended by 2 days, but the capacity of the timer is extended to 7 days. This perk lasts for 60 days each when awarded. 

==Armory Access==

[[File:Armory.jpg|thumb|The Armory]]Armory access costs 5 credits, but affects the entire crew of the purchaser. If someone desires a gun but does not wish to do the required petty crimes to obtain it, the player may instead opt to take a gun from the armory (the amount available varies upon how many people deposit their gun into the armory). Withdrawing a gun from the armory costs 1 credit. Players may also deposit their gun into the armory, so that another player may take it.

==Reserve a Character Name==

[[File:MercyForEnemies.jpg|thumb|User not found]]Reserving a character names costs 3 credits, and is tied to the master account. Paying it allows the player to use the reserved name for renaming a Corrupt Agent or a new character after death. There is no limit the amount of reserved names, and the reservation is permanent until the player manually deletes it. The names are not case sensitive. If the name is currently in use, it cannot be reserved unless the player is the one using that name. If a user of a reserved name dies, the name cannot be used until the deceased character is removed from the system. Character removal usually occurs about a month after said character's death. 

If you have more than 500 hours played on your character you will receive a free one year reservation of the name. If you happen to still be alive at the end of that year, It is given after your character dies and will last for one year from that point. You may purchase a normal, non-expiring reservation of that name at any time.

Also, a small change, if you are currently using a reserved name, you may not delete the reservation of that name.

==Forum VIP Status==

* Forum VIP Status - Highlights your name on thread listings and posts, and is colored by home city.
Forum VIP status costs 2.50 credits, and highlights your name when making forum posts according to your Home City. The city with the highest quality rank for posts made by VIP users is granted perks; this perk is currently being told the name of a targetable TylerDurden NPC member that is located in the same city as the VIP is presently.

==Buy Credit Codes==
This allows you to purchase the codes that are normally given out randomly through IRC or Facebook. You have the option to decide how many credits the codes are worth, how many codes and whether it can be redeemed by anybody or only members of a specific city.

Ranks

2014-10-24T12:55:02Z

All characters start at the Civilian rank and as the requirements are fulfilled, promotions will be automatically granted up to and including Wise Guy. Afterwards, promotions must be awarded manually by your crew leader. Some crews may have established additional requirements before they are willing to issue the promotion; but even if those are met, there are still hard-coded requirements necessary before your character can receive a promotion.

'''Note'''
If you are mademan+ and you switch crews, it will "visually demote you" to wiseguy. You retain 100% of everything you had including the XP and units, but now your new crewleader has to now hit the promo button to give your rank back.

''Example: 
10:59 Don Frankie from BillyBob's Godfather crew is dropped after BillyBob eats a bullet. 
11:00 Godfather Joe sends an invite to Don Frankie. 
11:01 Don Frankie accepts the invite and is now Wiseguy Frankie. 
11:02 Godfather Joe promotes Wiseguy Frankie back to Don Frankie by hitting the promo button a few times.''

'''If the leader is a mademan themselves, there is no rank requirement for hands.'''

Manage Profile

2014-10-24T12:47:54Z

RubberduckJ35:

The Manage Profile page is one of the more useful aspects of MR, as it allows you to do many things. Below I'll show you a list of things you'll be able to see/do upon this page;

'''Name:''' SnidelyWhiplash - This shows the name of your current character.

[[Ranks|'''Rank:''']] Boss Level: 40 - This shows your current Rank, followed by the maximum amount of units you're currently able to hold.

Prowess is based on how much work you put in, compared to others the same age as you. A "normal" prowess is 100%, meaning you do just as much work as others your age. 200% would mean you're doing twice as much work, and so on and so forth.

Hit List

2014-10-24T12:43:47Z

RubberduckJ35:

{{TOC right}}
==Hit List==

The Hit List is where players may place bounties on the death of another [[Wack|character]] or that character's [[bodyguards]]. Another player that kills the target of a hit will automatically be credited with the posted reward.

Hits can be placed for any reason or for no reason. The person placing the hit may choose to remain Anonymous, or to have his name posted as the one who issued the hit. It may also be necessary to use the hit list when attempting to [[Wack|kill]] an offline character; the potential victim cannot be "found" without a hit being placed on the victim.

''Note: To place an anonymous hit on another player, you will pay 25% of the hit's cost as a fee for anonymous, or 100k, whichever is greater.''

==Player Hits==
A hit may be placed on another player. The base price of $10,000 plus $1,000 per rank of the victim is automatically added to whatever number a player enters in the "reward offered" field. To place a hit on another player, you must be in a crew and gangster+.

An additional $50k per rank will be automatically added if you wish to appear anonymous.

==Bodyguard Hits==
A hit may also be placed on another player's bodyguards. The base price of a bodyguard hit is calculated the same as a player hit. The base price is automatically deducted from the player's cash in addition to the reward posted.

A bodyguard hit is automatically credited to the account of another player when they shoot and kill a bodyguard owned by the target.

==Hit List Costs==
The base price of $10,000 plus $1,000 per rank of the victim is automatically added to whatever number a player enters in the "reward offered" field.

==Additional Options==
A player will often wish to appear anonymous -- that is, to have his name withheld from the "posted by" field of the hitlist. This prevents the hit from expiring by reprisal against the player that posted the hit.

An additional $50k per rank will be automatically added to the price of listing the hit if you wish to appear anonymous.

==Hit List==

The Hit List is where players may place bounties on the death of another [[Wack|character]] or that character's [[bodyguards]]. Another player that kills the target of a hit will automatically be credited with the posted reward.

Hits can be placed for any reason or for no reason. The person placing the hit may choose to remain Anonymous, or to have his name posted as the one who issued the hit. It may also be necessary to use the hit list when attempting to [[Wack|kill]] an offline character; the potential victim cannot be "found" without a hit being placed on the victim.

''Note: To place an anonymous hit on another player, you will pay 25% of the hit's cost as a fee for anonymous, or 100k, whichever is greater.''

==Player Hits==
A hit may be placed on another player. The base price of $10,000 plus $1,000 per rank of the victim is automatically added to whatever number a player enters in the "reward offered" field. To place a hit on another player, you must be in a crew and gangster+.

An additional $50k per rank will be automatically added if you wish to appear anonymous. Anonymous hits must be manually renewed within 24 hours or they automatically expire.

==Bodyguard Hits==
A hit may also be placed on another player's bodyguards. The base price of a bodyguard hit is calculated the same as a player hit. The base price is automatically deducted from the player's cash in addition to the reward posted.
