ππππ πππππ JIM GORDON SWORE TO CARMINE FALCONE THAT HE WOULD BRING MARIO BACK ALIVE, BUT BROKE HIS WORD. CARMINA PROMISED HIS LATE WIFE THAT HE WOULDN'T BRING MARIO INTO THE FAMILY BUSINESS: COSA NOSTRA (OUR THING). MARIO COULD NEVER USE THE FAMILY NAME, BUT BROUGHT GREAT HONOUR TO CARMINE BY LEADING AN HONEST LIFE. THE FALCONES AND THE WAYNES WERE THE PILLARS OF THE SAME HOUSE. THEY UNDERSTOOD EACH OTHER, HAD BALANCE. CARMINE APPRECIATES HONESTY. IT SHOWS WISOM AND HUMILITY. FISH MOONEY WAS FALCONE'S FAVOURITE. CARMINE WOULD TOLERATE PEOPLE HE DID NOT LIKE IF THEY WERE TOP EARNERS. THE FALCONE FAMILY NIGHT CLUB WAS WHERE A LOT OF BUSINESS WAS CONDUNCTED. CARMINE TAUGHT OSWALD COBBLEPOT TO NUTURE A HEALTHY PARANOIA; HOWEVER, HE BELIEVED IN BUILDING ON THE STRENGTH OF OTHERS. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ACQUIRED THROUGH RESEARCH INTO THE REAL LIFE MAFIA YOU CAN’T HAVE ORGANISED CRIME WITHOUT LAW AND ORDER. NEVER ASK SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING YOU WOULDN’T DO YOURSELF. MAFIOSO MUST ASK THE DON'S PERMISSION BEFORE KILLING SOMEBODY, ESPECIALLY POLICE. WITHOUT MONEY, THE MAFIA LOSE INFLUENCE. WITHOUT INFLUENCE, THE MOB LOSE CONTROL. 20% MUST ALWAYS BE KICKED UP THE TO BOSS. SELLING DRUGS IS A NO-NO IN THE MAFIA, BUT SOME PEOPLE STILL DEAL THEM ON THE SIDE. LEAVE NO PAPER TRAILS. THE MAFIA ORIGINATED IN 12TH CENTURY ITALY, THOUGH THE ITALIANS EVENTUALLY FLED TO AMERICA TO ESCAPE THE FASCISM IN THEIR HOMELAND. PEOPLE ON THE STREETS LOOKED UP TO THE MAFIA AS THEY KEPT THEM SAFE AND DIDN'T ALLOW SCUMBAGS INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. THE MAFIA DID NOT GO AROUND SHOOTING INNOCENT PEOPLE, ONLY EACH OTHER. ASSOCIATES OF THE MAFIA ARE KNOWN AS A FRIEND OF OURS. AFFILIATES OF THE MAFIA WILL HAVE THEIR CHARACTER AND FAMILY KNOWN AND INVESTIGATED, ALONG WITH WHERE THEY COME FROM, FOR SECURITY REASONS. WHEN SOMEONE BECOMES MADE, THEIR NAME IS PUT ONTO A LIST. THERE CAN BE NO SECRETS BEFORE SOMEONE IS MADE, WHICH IS WHY THEIR NAME IS PASSED AROUND THROUGH THE OTHER FAMILLIES AND THE COMMISSION TO ENSURE NO ONE HAS ANY GRIEVANCES WITH THE PERSON IN QUESTION BEFORE MAKING THEM A MADE MAN. TO BECOME A MADE MAN, YOU HAVE TO KILL SOMEBODY. MACHIAVELLI IS THE MAFIA BIBLE. MISCELLANEOUS ROLES RANKS ASSOCIATE SOLDIER CAPOREGIME CONSIGLIERE UNDERBOSS BOSS HITMAN SQUAD DRIVER PLANNER SHOOTER POSITIONS GANGSTER OR RACKETEER (A MOBSTER IS RARELY BOTH) EXAMPLES OF OWNED ESTABLISHMENTS AND BUSINESSES AUTO SHOP BAR CASINO CONSTRUCTION CLUB DRYWALL GAS STATION FACTORY FLOWER SHOP PLUMBING RESTAURANT SECURITY SUIT SHOP NEGATIVE MAFIA TRAITS DESPERATION FEAR GREED JEALOUSY POSITIVE MAFIA TRAITS LOYAL HOW THE MAFIA WOULD (OFTEN) ILLEGALLY TAKE OVER A BUSINESS 1. FIND A LOCAL, PROFITABLE PLACE. 2. OFFER PROTECTION. 3. IF REFUSED, ELIMINATE THE OWNER, TAKE OVER THE ESTABLISHMENT, THEN SHOW UP TO FUNERAL TO SHAKE OFF SUSPICION.

NO ONE CAN PRESENT HIMSELF DIRECTLY TO ANOTHER OF OUR FRIENDS. THERE MUST BE A THIRD PERSON TO DO IT. 2. NEVER LOOK AT THE WIVES OF FRIENDS. 3. NEVER BE SEEN WITH COPS. 4. DON’T GO TO PUBS AND CLUBS. 5. ALWAYS BEING AVAILABLE FOR COSA NOSTRA IS A DUTY - EVEN IF YOUR WIFE’S ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH. 6. APPOINTMENTS MUST ABSOLUTELY BE RESPECTED. 7. WIVES MUST BE TREATED WITH RESPECT. 8. WHEN ASKED FOR ANY INFORMATION, THE ANSWER MUST BE THE TRUTH. 9. MONEY CANNOT BE APPROPRIATED IF IT BELONGS TO OTHERS OR TO OTHER FAMILIES. 10. PEOPLE WHO CAN’T BE PART OF COSA NOSTRA: ANYONE WHO HAS A CLOSE RELATIVE IN THE POLICE, ANYONE WITH A TWO-TIMING RELATIVE IN THE FAMILY, ANYONE WHO BEHAVES BADLY AND DOESN’T HOLD TO MORAL VALUES. |
