Like Morelli's, this forum is for "in-game" business and you should post "in-character" at all times. At Iago's, you can talk about business a little more openly. Here you can set up "in-game" trades with other Families in other games. As always, anything traded must be approved by all GM's involved or there is no trade. If you conduct a transaction in this forum, all characters involved gain 5 points of Respect. If there is Suspicion involved in the trade, it is reduced by 1 point to all involved. Beware, however, undercover cop player characters may be posting here. If you are caught making a trade with a cop or fed, the GM's involved may award you up to 5 points of Suspicion just for the post. Again, this must be approved by both GM's and only player character cops and feds can make those kinds of posts. Trades within a campaign can be conducted here, but there is no extra respect or less suspicion unless the GM wants that to happen. GM's may post messages from undercover cops and feds from their own campaigns. (Watch out!) This is all to encourage inter-campaign exchanges between gaming groups.

Mr. D and the moderators can also mediate conflicts between gaming groups, GM's and players and players vs. players, but it will cost you:

gaming group vs. gaming group

10 Respect & 2 Wealth each player (these Wealth points are subtracted straight from the score.) The losing GM must write a short adventure for the winning GM's group.

GM vs. player or players

If the players lose, they lose 50 points of Respect and 50% of their Wealth. If the GM loses, the GM must write a short adventure and make it available to the online community for at least one month.

Player vs. Player

This is something the GM should be doing, but if you can't, Mr. D. will help. Each player should cough up 25 points of Respect and 1 point of wealth. The GM will owe us two posts in two other forums extolling the virtues of Complete Mafia, Living Room Games and/or this forum.

Mr. D. and the moderators may award or subtract additional points as they see fit. GM's may choose to accept or decline the decision, but if you decline, we probably won't waste our time listening to your next problem if you post again. You may, alternatively, ask other neutral players and GM's to help you make the decision for a sit down. Only made guys or higher can do a sit-down and the arbitrator must be of greater or equal rank to those in conflict. The competing groups may pay tribute as they see fit. Arbitrators automatically gain 20 points of Respect if their decision is accepted by both parties from Mr. D. Please try to tell us your stories, conflicts or trades in the SHORTEST way possible. Understand, that since you are in character, your character's weakness may prevent you from articulating the best case or he may end up saying too much. If you have a conflict that cannot be described in character, then post it in "Sign on the Dotted Line".
