I consider CC an RPG. I believe RPGs should, as much as possible, mimic real life.
One thing every organized crew of any decent size has is some member or members appointed as "underboss." [perhaps not by title, but certainly by function].
IMHO such a position(s) should be created in this game. The Underboss could have all the power of the Boss, EXCEPT REMOVING a member- either on a regular basis or ALL the Boss' power on an assigned (by the Boss without the Boss resigning as the "Leader") basis.
Also, what about the wild (although realistic) concept that the Boss, Underboss and Capos (officers) actually receive some small cut of the game cash donated to the Syndicate- say 1% for Boss,
.5% for Underboss and .01% for Officers- something along those lines.
I think such an arrangement would more accurately reflect the reality of organized crime families than does the present one. That's my suggestion. What do you folks think?
