How to be a good mafia leader in one easy sentence.

The mafia is a business, not a murder cult.

Also, am I a good mafia leader?

Yes, you are.

You are very good indeed Zarkus. I have seen many different approaches to the mafia role...some who treat it almost like a legitimate business, working for profit or connections in a very effective matter. Others, rampaging street thugs- I'm talking AKIRA bike gang style groups going out and causing trouble...am I complaining? No, in fact, if people do either of these methods right they can both work well. And then of course, you have my favourite type...the mental cases. The psychopaths.
Zarkus, you are more like the "business mafia", which is good for its own reasons. My favourite kind is the screwball...maybe why I've been playing as The Joker a few times, even though I don't really like Batman. It's just such a good representation of the insane but effective branch of the mafia that just makes things so fun to do. I'd say there are three or four of the BEST Mafia players...and Zarkus is on that top layer. Lately I've gotten a thirst for the 'concealed sleeve blade'...so I apologise if I'm a bit hasty to make with the stabbing.

I've been obsessed with intertwining my thesaurus, babelfish, and science with the hidden guns and beetle c-4's at hand X[

So we have Zarkus, the mafia boss who controls all his people like puppets in order to get his goals done to expand the power of the mafia like a business...we have W, who uses his technical expertise to rig up traps and set out situations to his multi-lingual planning...and we have myself, who's just doing it for the fun of it with a nine inch blade up his sleeve.
We so have to play as the Mafia together one of these days.

Yes, we can have an Organized Crime!

When I get the role '' M '' I use it as a Jigsaw place..

Since I already knew I was an awesome mafia leader, lemme change the question:

Zarkus: Great mafia leader, or GREATEST mafia leader?

You asked before and I'll say it again.
Great, but not greatest. You have some competition for that title I'm afraid.

Whom is Zarku's competition?

I think it was said earlier in this topic, but I never see those 2 play as the mafia leader.

I've also heard tell of other Mafia professionals who people seem to enjoy having fit the roles. I cannot determine these exactly, but I do believe that LuLu is also one of the higher priority Mafia leaders...especially given his special character "James Night", who I'm sure many of us have encountered at some point. It's just good to see that we have such a strong inventory of Mafia leaders to select from, as opposed to those who hand out knives and shout "kill".

You're a good mafia leader, thay's why I go back and forth through games to join your mafia. *Three times going on Four in Z's Mafia ^^* Its because, unlike many other mafia leaders, you carry a trait that differs from how they work. Other M's, kill other people and mass-hog recruiting. You, of course, actually have a select individuality that carries onto the other members in the roleplay, thus succeeding the win's for Z's mafia. *Hooray*

As for another good mafia leader, Kai is awesome. Well- we were just like Joker//Mafia, a two-man mafia army. But that didn't stop us from almost hijacking L. [[Too bad I lagged out a lot that round o.-]] Kai actually had a good explanation that gave me the idea of roleplaying the joker. All I knew about the joker was Batman, meh. But after conserving him roleplay as the Joker, I was able to carry on the trait of the "Second Joker" until he logged back on. And when he did log back on, we hurried our way to L. With nothing more but an outfit and the character similiarity [[no knife]], we almost suceeded, or we did, as far as I can remember. Go Kai~

Two Cents again; because mainly I haven't witnessed other M's as I was in other's peoples mafia.
