Newcomers, feel free to join.

Welcome, dear ladies and gentlemen. Take a seat. I have a proposal you just cannot refuse.
R.D.C. Corporation offers you everything you need to start a criminal career in the grand metropolis of T'ciy.
Let your criminal brain inspire all others! Take control over complete streets, and dominate T'ciy while taking care that R.D.C.'s interests are fulfilled.
T'ciy is a city surpressed by a corporate government. Criminality flocks here and rebellion groups have painted the streets red. T'ciy is ready for urban war.
This game is inspired on Liberal Crime Squad and the Maffia games.

Players
Once it has started, it will still be possible to join, but you will have a penalty versus the other players, since they are further ahead of you.
This game is all about customization; you can detail the hell out of your perfect criminal plan, or give general directions which I follow for different turns. The amount of time you put in to this game goes from anywhere to five minutes a turn to infinity!!!     

To join in, fill in following form;
Your leader's name:
Your criminal organisation's name: ( Notice that it doesn't have to be maffia organisation. Extreme political organizations are accepted as well, as long as you keep the politics in game. )
Desired HQ: Somewhere on the edge of the city
Your leaders starting  "stats": You can add 5 points in total to any of the following stats, who all are 1 standard.

Intelligence: Effects a lot of things in a small way.
Knowledge: Affects how well you can use things you are not familiar with.
Agility: Affects combat, chasing and escaping.
Strength: Affects combat and working.
Charisma: Affects how well you can recruit, command and persuade.

Organisation background information:
Leader background information:
Anything else you would like to say:

Before you click on the post reply button, please first think if you want to atleast commit yourself to look at this thread once in a few days to update your criminal plan. You won't have to tell me exactly everything your gang does, but I still need some general directions once in a while.
Also, absurd submissions will be ignored. This game is serious.

My own submission so far;
Leader; Dmitri Drasda.
Organisation; Spetsnaz 13
Desired HQ; along the edge of the city.
Leader's background; A former spetsnaz from the Soviet Republic of Georgia.
Dmitri is a fanatical communist who has gone underground ever since the fall of the USSR. Disillusioned by the betrayal of different of his former "comrades", Dmitri has travelled to the city of T'ciy and has gone underground there. The strict corporate government there has produced a unhappy population. When well executed, a spark here may lead to another revolution, and possibly the birth of another communist power.
Leader Stats: 1 INT, 3 KNOW, 2 AG, 3 STR, 1 CHR
Organisation background: The goal of Spetsnaz 13 is to overthrow the local government just as true Spetsnaz would; with awesome precision. The Spetsnaz were trained to survive in any condition and to dislocate the enemy with deadly efficiency. What happened in Afghanistan, could happen here. Dmitri is determined to train a group who could be just as good as the Spetsnaz out of these city dwellers. But to do this, he will need time, and luck. And LOTS of bullets.

Instructions
------------
You all start off with your leader, a HQ ( a small building which can accomodate 5 persons ), 10 meager rations, a bicycle, 1500 credits and a swiss knife.
Now, there is a somewhat unendless amount of choices to do. The outcome of each action will be determined by the one who is doing it's stats, and sometimes equipment.
Which stats affect it is determined by logic. Social events are, for example, determined by charm. Kidnapping, attacking... by equipment and things like strength.
Here is a list of things you could do...
Get out on the street and find new recruits ( here for example, charm would determine how succesfull you would be )
Mug people ( here, strength and agility would be handy. Notice you could get arrested here )
Find abandoned houses to claim.
Go out and shop for ...
Equip member x with y.
Let member x go to place y
Go to a local cafe and spread rumors,...
Steal from a local shop.

I roll some dices. You then gain the results.
The players work in "turns". A turn is three days.
So, that means you have 48 hours to spend ( you sleep for 8 hours a day ).
Choose what you want to do, and how many hours approx.

For example;
- Outfit your leader with swiss knife and bicycle ( improves efficiency, naturally )
- Go out and buy 20 meager rations ( - 200 credits ) for one hour.
- Find new recruits ( 12 hours )
- Do some petty work ( 12 hours )
- Search abandoned houses ( 23 hours )

If I do this, I would get, for example; 20 meager rations ( - 200 credits )
                                                  1 recruit
                                                  90 credits
                                                  Found one abandoned house
                                                  --------
                                                  1610 credits
                                                  2 squad members

You can name him/her if you want to. If not, I'll name him myself.
Also, I should not forget to outfit him with anything.
I could make a little story around finding recruits etc...
Your situation will be updated in your "profile". This is a post which sums up equipment, members, the equipment they are carrying, and other things.
After I have posted the results, you can post your next turn. I will not post the results of that turn YET, but will first post the results of any other players. If a player is offline for to long, I will do his turn as best as I can for him.
Here is a map which you would get at your profile after my example turn. "http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/4/6/12/f_rbdm_a875d05.png&srv=img33"   

Your profile.

Your profile post is in the next post. It tells you anything you need to know about your organisation.

Your turn.

When you are taking a turn, DO NOT POST A NOW POST.
Instead, edit your "submission" post. This is to make sure everything is easy to manage.
It is VERY important you state which turn you are at, to prevent confusion.
Always state which turn you are at. Please. I beg you.

Connections

As a criminal organization, you need connections.
The only way to get this is by letting someone of your squad "Goes out and finds connections".
You need to give him some money to buy your way in to the underworld. Notice that this is a dangerous activity, which might get you arrested.

Connections are needed to buy more "hot" equipment. Explosives, heavy guns, body armour and more are considered hot and can only be gained by having contacts with the underworld.
Notice that their are two types of connections.

GOV Connection: This is your connection with the local ( corrupt ) government.
MOB Connection: This is your connection with the local criminal world.

The more GOV/MOB Connection, the more options you unlock. Notice, that connections come also with a duty. The Government or underworld can ask you for favours, when, for example, another player starts destroying police stations or something special happens.

R.D.C.

One of the largest corrupt corporations in the city.
R.D.C. has a lot of influence, spanning from the underworld to the government.
They will ask the new criminal organisations for occasional favours, with possible rewards attached to them.

You can, ofcourse, ignore any request they have. You can go as far as rivalling them. Do know, though, that they are powerfull.
However, if they would fall, the entire city will fall in to chaos. A situation which may come in handy for those who seize it.

Houses

To keep it simple, each house can house 10 people properly. If you recruit more without being able to house them, they will sleep on the street ( which is risky ).

Rations

Rations will be automatically stored at the house of the buyer. All members who are in the same house will automatically eat from them.
Recruits who do not have rations will have to go out on the street and beg for food, or steal it. Naturally, this causes each member to have a large chance of being caught by the police.

Things to do

-Steal from x
-Recruit
-Go to another player-owned house
-Go to district x and ( followed by another action )
-Buy x
-Mug people on the street
-Hold a speech on the street
-Protest on the street
-Bribe your way in to the GOV with x amount of money
-Bribe your way in to the MOB with x amount of money
-Infiltrate and sabotage building x
-Blow up building x
-Assassinate person x
-Equip x ( does not need time )
-Drop x at house x
-Work out ( requires item)
-Internet Fraud ( requires item, less risky then normal fraud )
-Learn ( requires item )
-Street Fraud
-Kidnap person x ( or just random persons )
-Perform a march with your members ( requires minimally 20 persons )
-Beat up x ( if your unlucky, this could kill people. Otherwhise, it might make people heed you )
-Start a killing spree ( will almost certainly kill your member, but causes large amounts of panic and media attention )
-Type a organization paper ( requires item )
-Spread organization paper on the streets
-Broadcast a radio program of your organisation
-...

so, can we join yet?

[qwertyuiopas]

I might be interested, once it starts.

[SHAD0Wdump]

I'll try my hand at this...

Name:Bob(simple names for simple people)
Gang:Sobs
Desired HQ:Outside the city,country.
Leader's background:This chap has been watching the television for too long.He has somewhat lost vision with reality and feels the government is using the radiation from microwaves in conjunction with the convenience of TV dinners to slowly melt our brains,turning us into slaves for their factories.Now he has had it,and is organizing a gang to spread the word and raid the local city for proof of his absurd claims.Whether that means lying to his followers or not.(he knows people think his claims are nutz so he finds good reasons and stupid people to do what he wants)
Leader Stats: 1 INT, 2 KNOW, 1 AG, 4 STR, 2 CHR
Gang background:Not much,they just started,in the end they most likely(hopefully) will turn into a strong thorn in the government's side,albeit very disjointed.


I know it sounds absurd but it is just a random gang to throw some gameplay into the mix.

Imma watching this one,looks good.

[a1s]

leader's name: Ian Wanezski
organization name: Cyber samurai
Desired HQ: a medium sized apartment filled with computer equipment.
leader stats:I3 K3 A1 S1 C2
Organization background: CS is (will be?) formed by intelligent people who believe they deserve more power and money, and are willing to cross the rest of society in their pursuit of them.
Leader background: Ian is a smart and somewhat sociopathic man in his early 20s, who claims to believe in freedom of information and other socialist ideas, but in reality wants power. Not inherently charming he relies on various dirty tricks of group psychology and NLP to get him though his encounters with people. Up to now he had been stealing small sums from credit cards, defacing websites, and arguing his position on forums, but he feels it is time to do more.

[Spud]

Name: Nikolai Andrekov
Orginisation: The KGB
Once a spy for the soviets, Nikolai fled to america to escape the tyranny of Russia. When he came to america he was not treated nicely and turned to crime to pay his bills. He is in it purely for the money

[Asheron]

This is my turn post.
TURN 1

I buy 10 decent food rations ( -300 credits ) ( 1 hour )
I go out on the street and recruit ( 9 hours )

Dice: 62 %
Dmitri wanders the streets, and tries to convince people to join his cause. He has little luck, and his lack of charm doesn't help too. However, he manages to convince one person, Terry Venus, of joining his cause.
He will join the Spetsnaz the following turn.
Dmitri's charm has improved a little, but not enough to gain an extra point.

Do petty work ( 11 hours )

Dice: 33 %
Dmitri manages to find some work to be done. He does most of the work he has been given, but finds out that the contracter lowered his wage, due to some mishaps in his work. In the end, he goes home with 48 credits.

Visit the Cultural Center ( 10 hours )

Dice: 78 %
Dmitri attends a free self-defense course. His strength raises a point.
Also, he finds some loose change on the ground. In total, it accumulates to 4 credits.

Go out and search for abandoned houses ( 17 hours )

Dice: 7 % ( ouch )

Dmitri looks and looks, but finds no place he could potentially use as a hideout or a stash. He returns home, tired.

Dmitri eats 2 meager rations.

[a1s]

so this is dead, huh?
I really wanted to play it though.
does anyone want to take over?

[SHAD0Wdump]

Not sure it's dead,he did say he needed time to set it up,rest assured I'm being patient.

[Asheron]

I'm having troubles working the game mechanics out. It'll start soon.
