Room Rules

The room rules are currently being updated

1. This room is based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel The Godfather ® and the three movies that followed the book, as well as other sources from movies, television, and novels. You are welcome to observe and ask questions. You will be invited to join the role play once your character has been approved as a valid Godfather® character. PLEASE view our Character Creation section

2. All guests are welcome to come and role-play as long as they come in peace. But once that peace has been broken, you will receive:

a. A warning.
b. Asked to Leave.
c. Be Booted or Gagged.

3. No nude or semi-nude avatars please, other than the NPC dancers in Club Bada Bing or other strip clubs only

* All other nude pictures must be in PM only.
* All avatars no larger than 350 total height and no use of animations.
* No Avatar Reserved Character may be used, by anyone other than the Reserved Character.

4. Respect is a MUST, at all times you must show respect to your Don's and Peers Admins, Moderators Guest ect... We are all equals in this room. No one player is any better or worse than any other player. Characters are only characters, they are not who you are. Your actions, imagination, and improvisation skills determine who and what your characters are and can be.

A lack of respect will gain you a probationary period. If no respect is shown after the probationary period then you will be removed from the room.

5.  Every Prospective New Member will add an ~o~ tag after your name to indicate you are observing and would like to join the room . Observers should watch and ask questions in private and not interfere with the role players that don't wish to include them, But if the Registered Players/Typists wish to include them, the observer is more then welcome to interact. Then when you feel comfortable, request permission to join in the role playing. You must prove your value as a role player, much like people wishing to join the Mafia had to do to be made men. This can be a lot of fun if you understand and role play the theme correctly.

6. If a character is a "Family member" or employed by the Corleone family/ Vinci Family there my be a ONE post kill, but prior approval is required.

There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule.

All Kills must be at least THREE post unless otherwise stated. This includes NPC's You will be permitted to create another character for use in Godfather's. The character must be approved by Don Corleone before you are permitted to use it in the role-play.

NO ONE is to be KILLED inside any of the Clubs, Casinos, or Restaurants outside is fine just NOT inside


7. Post with Respect and Honor at all times. Respect all players at all times NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Remember however, that in character respect is something that is earned, not given freely. Do not take an in character situation to OOC situations.

8. PLEASE, do not PM to somebody in the room unless they send you the post offering help and granting permission for this. We all try to help, but are often involved in role playing when a new person enters. Wait a few minutes at the bar and somebody should offer assistance

9. This is a ROLE-PLAYING chat room. No OOC characters or anonymous characters will be recognized. If you want to make an OOC comment, other then those related directly to the role play, take it into PM. Do not waste our role play time with OOC chatting, especially if a roleplay is occuring. Ignorance of these rules is no excuse. Any abuse of these rules will result in a warning to take to PM. If they don't comply they can be removed from the room by a moderator

10. Keep your RP characters separate from the Real Life player. DO NOT take Role-Play situations into OCC and other chatrooms.


11. If at any time a player/typist chooses to leave the Family, no matter the reason, they must petition the Room Owners to come back to the Family and re-join roleplay. If they leave in peace, of course they are welcome to visit the Godfather's often and are, in fact, encouraged to.

12. Registered Players/Typists may have 4 characters. In order to have a character, a player/typist must complete a character template on the board and wait for approval that way we know who is playing an NPC and they won't just pop up out of no where. Minor NPC's (Such as very low level hoods, cops, etc.) are not required to have a character sheet.

13. Your character will not be allowed to return or live again if you ok'd for your character to die, or if your character died in a roleplay. This is NOT a soap opera, where you can die and then be back a year later. Also, roleplay injuries realistically. If a character gets shot, they will not be operating at full speed the next day and so on.

14. No one is allowed to PM, Don Vincent Corleone, or other room moderators in the room and complain. You may e-mail all complaints to : Chris

15. Please respect other players/typists and don't always drag a character into a storyline or plot if that character is busy. At the same time, when roleplaying please realize that situations can occur in the storyline which may cause a player/typist's plans to change. Improvisation and imagination are keys to a successful, enjoyable roleplay, and remember, the roleplays which occur are not predetermined.

16. Several groups reside within the city. This is not the home of just the Corleone Family , but many. However, role play is limited to TWO families: the Corelone and the Vinci, with some NPC influence from the Jersey Sopranos. If this is your first visit to New York, be prepared for upheaval, violence and power struggles. Also, any mass destruction or killings are not allowed. If you MUST blow things up be sure to limit it to one or two small buildings. Currently Club Godfather's is off limits to being Bombed.

17. The mention of Omertà , La Cosa Nostra , Mafia or any other term that represents the fact that your character is a "member" can be cause alone for that character's DEATH.

18. Female Characters are not "officially" recognized as being in a "family" such as:

A. They will not hold an official position in the Family:

Capo Crimini/capo de tutti capi (super boss/bosses of bosses)

Consigliere(advisor/family counselor)

Capo Bastone (underboss, 2nd in command)

Caporegime or Capodecima (lieutenant, typically heads a faction of 10 or more soldiers comprising a "crew")

Sgarrista(a foot soldier who carries out day to day business of the family. A "made" member of the mafia)


B. They are able to run business that are tied in with the "Family Business" Remember though, that the mention of "the mafia" can result in negative consequences for all of those involved.


C. They can handle certain types of "hits". For example, a bedroom assassin, but they are not officially "made". Also, by all means a woman character can defend herself against anyone else, they aren't all just helpless dames in a world ran by ruthless mean men.

This rule may seem chauvinistic but it was made to keep the room true to themes presented in the Godfather movies/novels, and other mob sources (Casino, Goodfellas, A Bronx Tale, etc.). If you have a problem with this rule you can e-mail Don Vincent Corleone

19. Time Frame: One Role-Play day equals one Real Time day. Pregnancies do NOT happen in one month in this role play.

20. Most importantly ...above all else...HAVE FUN... this is a role-playing room and we are here for the purpose of being a close knit family full of friends and pal's while we have our role-playing games. If at any point in time this is no longer fun for you please reach Don Vincent Corleone ® and relay this to him. You will be free to leave with no ill will. Your happiness is what is important above all else.
