[OOC] The DeMarco Syndicate

[Katelyn]

Shoe- verbal will work and when you're done I'll review your CSs and then you can post up. :)

[Fabricant451]

Posting today after work, sorry for any hold up.

[Katelyn]

No worries. Looking forward to it. :)

[MrShoe]

Gave descriptions in my CS

[Katelyn]

MrShoe - Good. Just change "Vinny" to Mr. DeMarco and we're good to go. Remember, old school means the Don sits on a pedestal of respect at all times. You're going to find yourself tongueless if you call him Vinny. *smiles*

You're ring is correct for all three as they will work together to bring that ring alive for us.

Make that subtle change, and you're accepted, feel free to post up.

[MrShoe]

All done. But would you mind giving me a quick run down of events? Also I'm sorry if I can't my my posts as long as some of your guys'

[Enforcer]

ahhh....a fresh meatbag...

[Katelyn]

Shoe - It doesn't have to be a long post, but it has to add to the story and should be causal in nature. :) The events can be found by reading the IC love. That's part of joining a group and we just started, so 4 posts shouldn't be bad to read and their quite good if I do say so myself.

Enforcer - Don't hurt him just yet. He's useful to us.

[MrShoe]

Ok. Two things before I get my post up. A: "Racketeering" is a fairly broad term that could mean a number of things. Basically anything that has to do with "fake" problems, like protection money since "protection" more or less means from the people collecting money and not necessarily other people. So I was wondering on what my characters should be focused on since it's kind of a broad term.

Also B: I noticed that you control other people's characters in the IC somewhat regularly and I was mostly wondering why.

[Katelyn]

I control no one. :) Those are collaborations. So me and that other character meet up in a PM on here and we work thought the post going back and forth until the scene is done. :)

Let me think a little on the racketeering. I'm thinking blackmail is going to be the focus that would best benefit you and the story, but I'll get back to you shortly.

[MrShoe]

OK. I was worried that you were taking extreme liberties with people's characters and got uneasy. I shall wait for confirmation about my character's rolls.

[Enforcer]

We don't control other peoples Charactors, but create an NPC, that we use for story purpose, example, Maids, household security, shop owners, barkeepers, they're part of your story and help move it along, to use an actually players Character without permissions a big NO-NO.

Racketeering refers to criminal activity that is performed to benefit an organization such as a crime syndicate. Examples of racketeering activity include extortion, money laundering, loan sharking, obstruction of justice and bribery.

[Katelyn]

Shoe hopefully that helps a little? Loan sharking might be fun, collecting gambling debts or bribing an official for us?

[MrShoe]

That sounds fine. Though perhaps blackmail can be a part of their business as well, I like that idea.

[Katelyn]

Me too. Let me know what other questions you have. :)

[MrShoe]

None. I'll get a post up here in a few.

[Katelyn]

I'll post up the under boss tomorrow night. :)

Hope everyone is doing great!

[Katelyn]

Nice post, Enforcer. I'm smiling at you...

[Enforcer]

Katelyn said

She said as she prepared to stab him in the thigh.

[Katelyn]
