THE FACHELLI FAMILYARCHIVIO DI FAMIGLIA
CHARTER OF THE COMMISSION · THE OLD COUNTRY · CITY CREWS · MADE MEMBERSHIP

The Code
of Order.

A complete operating constitution for one roleplay Family across many servers, games, characters, businesses, and stories.

EDITION IRATIFIED 2026ESTABLISHED 2023
THE FOUNDING INTENT
“We are not here to be the best.
We are here to build something worth being part of.

Servers may close. Cities may change. Characters may disappear. Businesses may rise and fall. The Family continues—not to dominate every server it enters, but to become part of its history.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES

The standard before
the structure.

These principles bind every office and every member before rank, orders, business, conflict, or content.

01

Safety

No story, rank, argument, or game outranks the wellbeing of the people participating.

02

Respect

Treat players, rivals, staff, developers, creators, and community owners as collaborators.

03

Honor

Keep your word, accept consequences, accept losses, and own mistakes.

04

Story

Ask whether an action creates better roleplay before asking whether it helps the Family win.

05

Community

Leave every host city with more interaction and opportunity than existed before the Family arrived.

THE INSTITUTIONAL HOME
MONTARO IS “THE OLD COUNTRY”

One headquarters.
No claim over another host.

When the Family sends something back to the Old Country—or people from the Old Country fly in—it refers to the Montaro-based Commission and Family headquarters.

Enter the State of Montaro ↗
Every server remains sovereign. The Commission does not outrank the people who own and administer the city hosting our story.
THE CHAIN OF COMMAND

Five levels.
One accountable chain.

Direction flows downward. Information, results, opportunities, and problems travel upward. Higher office means greater responsibility—not greater personal value.

IFamily-wide governance

The Commission

Protects the name, Code, central canon, charters, senior appointments, cross-city strategy, and appeals.

BoundaryIt never outranks real-world law, platform policy, host staff, safety, or consent.
IIOne leader per charter

City Capo

Commands the local crew, protects its reputation, develops its business and story, maintains the treasury, and reports to the Commission.

BoundaryA Capo governs only the city crew entrusted to that office.
IIIOperational second

Right Hand

Maintains the roster, Associates, schedules, businesses, continuity, and acting command when the Capo is unavailable.

BoundaryThis is an operational appointment, not a separate website clearance level.
IVRecognized Family members

Made Members

Represent the name, sponsor Associates, operate systems, mentor members, develop stories, and accept higher responsibility.

BoundaryMade status is judged by trust and judgment—not kills, wealth, hours, or popularity.
VSponsored apprenticeship

Associates

Complete a minimum two-week trial, learn the Code and local systems, assist a Made Sponsor, and earn trust through conduct.

BoundaryTwo weeks creates eligibility, not a guarantee of membership.
STRATEGY & DELEGATION

Capos command cities.
The Commission coordinates the Family.

Every priority is adapted to the host city’s mechanics, rules, culture, economy, relationships, and current storylines before it becomes a local plan.

UPWARD REPORTING

Crew → Capo → Commission

Business, active members, stories, economy, relationships, content, problems, and next moves.

DOWNWARD DIRECTION

Commission → Capo → Crew

Family-wide priorities, coordination, resources, boundaries, and the office responsible for reporting results.

THE FACHELLI TEST

Before any major action

  1. Is it allowed? — Does it comply with the game and host server?
  2. Is it respectful? — Are the real people involved treated appropriately?
  3. Does it create roleplay? — Can other players meaningfully participate?
  4. Does it make a good story? — Will it produce something worth remembering?
BUSINESS BEFORE VIOLENCE

Become useful
before becoming feared.

Every established city crew works toward a recognizable legitimate in-game business that serves the public, anchors the crew, and supports a server-approved fictional underground story.

“If you need something,
call the Fachellis.”

Not: “Those are the people who shoot everyone.”

CHAPTER X · THE NINE CREW OFFICES

Every function owned.
No competing command.

These are operational assignments, never ranks. Command sets direction; each office owns one defined part of execution.

Owns
Front-business operations, service standards, staffing plans, premises, and the public calendar.
Boundary

Owns
Canon records, SOPs, decision logs, weekly-report assembly, content coordination, and archive submissions.
Boundary
Does not keep the financial ledger, assign operations, or rewrite canon without approval.
01

Every function has one accountable lead and one named secondary.

02

An office is a responsibility, not a rank, and creates no authority outside its scope.

03

Cross-training creates continuity; it does not create competing command.

04

A small crew may bundle offices temporarily, but every deliverable remains separately owned and reported.

ACCOUNTABILITY

The Family Ledger

Track businesses, fictional operations, revenue, expenses, inventory, assets, obligations, contributions, reserves, investments, and major purchases.

CONTINUITY

The Weekly Crew Report

Every Capo reports on business, crew, story, economy, relationships, content, problems, and the next move.

SHARED STORY

The Commission Reserve

Sustainable in-game contributions support expansion, events, visiting members, shared assets, cross-city stories, and emergencies—not personal enrichment.

CHAPTERS LXV — LXXIV · THE ECONOMIC DOCTRINE

The model is standardized.
The numbers are local.

Every Capo studies the host city’s economy before setting prices, choosing products, or making contribution promises. The Commission standardizes the method; local leadership supplies the evidence.

CITY ECONOMIC PROFILE

Know the city before copying another crew.

Record common legal-job income, basic living costs, purchasing power, essential materials, valuable and reliable products, popular activities, repeated support needs, overhead, competition, and host-approved mechanics.

Follow the activity.
Supply the need.
THE TRUE OPERATING COST
Materials+Production+Storage+Distribution+Labor+Losses+Overhead

A sale is not profitable merely because its price is higher than the material cost. Margin is measured against selling revenue; it is not the same as markup.

10–20%High-volume essentials

Fast-moving goods with reliable repeat demand.

25–35%Standard Family business

The preferred healthy range for most established operations.

35–50%Specialized or scarce

Narrow demand, limited supply, or specialist production.

LOCALHigh-risk operations

No universal target; host rules, risk, losses, and market conditions control.

Customer revenueDirect costsMember earningsBusiness reserveCrew treasuryCommission reserveReinvest
OPERATION → CREW≈ 10%

Target approximately ten percent of distributable operation profit after costs, member earnings, and the business reserve—not ten percent of gross sales.

CREW → COMMISSION≈ 10%

Once a crew is stable, target approximately ten percent of distributable crew profit. A developing charter is never starved to create a contribution.

Pay the people.
Protect the operation.
Then strengthen the Family.
THE FIVE-PART HEALTH TEST

Find the weak link before demanding more work.

No materials: sourcing. Materials without products: production. Products without sales: distribution or demand. Sales without profit: pricing or cost. Profit without treasury growth: accounting or expenditure.

01

DemandPeople consistently want what the operation provides.

02

MarginRevenue remains after the true operating cost.

03

PeopleMembers are paid fairly for useful work.

04

TreasuryThe crew builds a reserve without draining the operation.

05

ContinuityThe system works when one person is unavailable.

THE ECONOMIC DATA BOOK

City profiles and weekly operation snapshots record margins, units, member earnings, reserves, contributions, business health, bottlenecks, and the next reinvestment opportunity.

REPUTATION BEFORE FEAR

Become part
of the city.

A new charter builds in phases. It is not expected to produce tribute before it has a useful operation, real relationships, and enough continuity to sustain them.

01

Learn

Rules, economy, culture, businesses, organizations, and current stories.

02

Establish

Secure a believable headquarters or legitimate public business.

03

Serve

Provide something the city genuinely needs and become dependable.

04

Connect

Build relationships with civilians, businesses, government, suppliers, customers, and factions.

05

Organize

Assign the nine crew offices with one accountable lead, one secondary, and clear boundaries.

06

Expand

Develop businesses, supply chains, alliances, conflicts, and approved underground stories.

07

Contribute

Begin reporting and sustainable in-game Commission contributions after the operation is established.

Build the operation before extracting from it.
THE FACHELLI DEFINITION OF POWER
“Power is not how many people fear you.
Power is how many doors open when you walk into the room.

Business, conversation, information, favors, diplomacy, negotiation, reputation, connections, appropriate in-character intimidation—and force only when the story legitimately reaches that point.

CREW PROGRESSION

The reputation scorecard

01
Community

Do other players receive enjoyable interaction and new opportunities?

02
Business

Is the crew’s public business useful, active, and dependable?

03
Family

Does the crew represent the Fachelli name appropriately?

04
Story

Does it create memorable characters, events, conflicts, and content?

05
Reliability

Does leadership communicate, maintain systems, and follow through?

These measures matter more than kills, wealth, territory, or mechanical dominance.
MULTI-CITY OPERATIONS

One institution.
Three levels of truth.

Not every event automatically becomes universal history. The canon structure keeps stories flexible while every host community retains authority over its own world.

01

Core Canon

Permanent Family history recognized everywhere and maintained by the Commission.

02

City Canon

Businesses, conflicts, relationships, politics, properties, and developments true within one server.

03

Character Canon

One character’s personal experience, referenced elsewhere only when appropriate and host-permitted.

THE COMMISSION

Protects the institution

Code, identity, membership standards, major canon, shared resources, and Family-wide initiatives.

THE CAPO

Runs the city

Ordinary business, local relationships, routine assignments, minor conflicts, and daily operations.

The Commission sets the standard. The Capo runs the city. The host governs the world.
CHAPTERS LVII — LXI · GOVERNANCE IN PRACTICE

One record.
Two separate rooms.

Family Meetings keep every crew aligned. Sit-Downs resolve serious matters. In-character story and out-of-character administration remain visibly, procedurally, and ethically separate.

01

Capo reports

Events, crew, in-game assets and capital, operations, story, problems, proposed solutions, content, and next objectives.

02

Commission decides

Feedback, approvals, cross-city priorities, assigned owners, scene planning, and the Family agenda.

03

Archivist records

Approved minutes, city reports, decisions, and next moves are released only at the proper clearance.

Report the facts. Identify the problem. Propose the solution. Establish the next move.
IN CHARACTER

A major scene

Territory, business, alliances, betrayal, war, debts, character standing, and consensual fictional consequences under host rules.

Its consequences remain in the story.
OUT OF CHARACTER

An administrative conference

Conduct, safety, membership, leadership, harassment, server enforcement, platform concerns, and real-world escalation where warranted.

Fictional rank grants no real-world authority.
THE FIVE-STEP RULE01State the issue02Bring the facts03Propose a solution04Hear the room05Record the decision
THE REAL COMMUNITY LAYER

The Code protects the fiction.
Policy protects the people.

The Code of Order is the philosophical constitution of the in-universe Family. Real conduct, moderation, recording, credits, likeness, accounts, privacy, and intellectual property are governed by separate community documents.

The Order

Purpose, principles, philosophy, identity, and the institution the Code exists to protect.

I
CHAPTER I

Purpose of the Family

GUIDANCE

The Fachelli Family is a multi-server, multi-game roleplay and storytelling organization designed to outlive individual servers, games, characters, businesses, and storylines. Its objective is not to dominate every city, but to become part of its history.

Story

Create memorable characters, conflicts, businesses, alliances, failures, victories, and long-term narratives.

Community

Contribute positively to every community that allows the Family to roleplay within it.

Organization

Enter each supported city with enough structure that every member understands their role.

Continuity

Keep characters and members connected to the wider story when a server changes or becomes unavailable.

Fun

Never allow hierarchy, competition, statistics, or fictional crime roleplay to destroy the reason the Family exists.

Persistent IP

The Fachelli Family is the enduring fictional identity: a roleplay society, creator collective, cinematic universe, and storytelling institution—not merely a faction attached to one server.

Creative home

It creates a structured home for roleplayers, filmmakers, writers, entrepreneurs, developers, designers, musicians, editors, organizers, and worldbuilders who want connected work to matter over time.

Central concept

Servers are locations. Characters are enduring creative assets. Stories become content. Montaro is home.

The Family continues.
II
CHAPTER II

The Five Principles

RULE

Every office, crew, Made Member, and Associate is measured against five permanent principles.

Safety

No storyline, rank, argument, or game is more important than the wellbeing of the people participating. Roleplay stays roleplay.

Respect

Treat players, rival factions, civilians, administrators, developers, moderators, creators, and community owners appropriately.

Honor

Your word should mean something. Accept consequences, accept losses, and own mistakes.

Story

Before asking whether an action helps the Family win, ask whether it creates better roleplay.

Community

Leave every host community with more stories, interaction, and opportunities than existed before the Family arrived.

XLIV
CHAPTER XLIV

What We Are Not

GUIDANCE

The Family is not a gaming clan, kill squad, leaderboard organization, bullying vehicle, OOC pressure group, superiority contest, mechanics-first faction, or real-world criminal organization.

Not a real gang

The Family does not organize, encourage, conceal, finance, or romanticize real criminal conduct and does not use fictional language to create real-world obedience.

Not a mass-recruitment machine

It does not need to dominate server population, open uncontrolled chapters, make AI characters the main attraction, or force members to abandon independent creative identity.

Not pay-to-power

Real financial support never purchases rank, Commission authority, leadership, protection, story immunity, preferential moderation, mechanical superiority, or canon ownership.

XLV
CHAPTER XLV

What We Are

GUIDANCE

The Fachelli Family is a collaborative Mafia roleplay and storytelling community that builds characters, crews, businesses, relationships, economies, rivalries, mysteries, conflicts, cities, and stories.

Creator community

The Family is a voluntary, structured creator collective for character-driven roleplay, cinematic media, entrepreneurship, game development, production, and long-form collaborative worldbuilding.

Story institution

Its purpose is to generate human stories and useful opportunities—not merely to compete as a faction.

When one story ends, we carry the Family somewhere new and begin another.
BOOK 02 · CHAPTERS III — V · LVII — LVIII

The Commission

The governing body, Family Meeting, permanent record, and shared institution connecting distinct cities.

III
CHAPTER III

The Commission

RULE

The Commission is the permanent senior governing body of the Fachelli Family across supported games, cities, and servers.

Founding Godfather — Enzo Fachelli

Founder and symbolic head. Protects the identity, history, traditions, and long-term direction of the Fachelli name.

Don — Anthony ‘Tony’ Bambino

Head of the Fachelli Family and former founding Captain of the Bambino Crew. Oversees the organization across cities and keeps every crew aligned with the Code of Order.

Underboss — Nico Lombardo

Coordinates multi-city operations, delegation, charter execution, and continuity beneath the Don.

First Capo — Fonzo ‘Garbage Man’ Garbonzo

Leads the Garbonzo Crew in Montaro, represents charter performance at the table, and retains the fourth Commission seat.

Right Hand — Francesca Fachelli

Serves as Fonzo’s No. 2 in the Garbonzo Crew, coordinates execution and standards, and retains the fifth Commission seat.

The Don's private counsel

The private advisory office belongs to Tony alone. Only a directive Tony reviews and signs leaves that room for the Commission; private conversation, unfinished options, and counsel remain sealed.

Commission boundary

The Commission protects the Code, Family identity, membership standards, cross-city continuity, major canon, shared resources, and Family-wide initiatives. It sets the standard without micromanaging ordinary city operations.

Real-world distinction

Inside the fiction, the Commission governs the Family. Outside the fiction, actual community administration, creative direction, moderation, safety, permissions, intellectual property, and platform operations are governed by real policy and responsible administrators—not character rank.

IV
CHAPTER IV

The Old Country

TRADITION

Montaro is ‘The Old Country’: Commission headquarters and the institutional home of the wider Family. The phrase connects otherwise separate cities and games without claiming authority over their hosts.

Meaning

References to meetings, decisions, or people from the Old Country mean the Montaro-based Commission and Family headquarters.

Boundary

Montaro rules and administrators do not govern another server. Every host community remains sovereign over its own environment.

Headquarters

Montaro hosts Commission meetings, chapter authorization, appointments, transfers, announcements, and cross-city strategic direction.

Training ground

Members may learn Family history, scene construction, business roleplay, communication, boundaries, chain-of-command etiquette, and host-server respect.

Archive & studio

Montaro preserves canon when outside worlds close or change and provides a controlled place for introductions, ceremonies, broadcasts, interviews, flashbacks, trailers, photography, and documentaries.

Systems laboratory

Automated world systems provide background life, pressure, consequences, training, and prompts. Human members remain responsible for judgment, relationships, emotion, leadership, and story.

Strategic purpose

Montaro does not require mass public population to succeed. It is the permanent home no outside server can erase.

We’re sending this back to the Old Country.
V
CHAPTER V

One Family — Many Cities

RULE

Each supported server may establish a recognized Fachelli City Crew with its own leadership, members, businesses, headquarters, territory, contacts, allies, rivals, economy, storylines, and local identity.

01The Commission
02City Capo
03Right Hand
04Made Members
05Associates
Local identity

Every city should feel distinct and should develop around its own mechanics, culture, economy, and relationships.

Shared institution

Every recognized crew remains part of the same Family, Code, archive, and long-term story.

LVII
CHAPTER LVII

The Family Meeting

RULE

Once every one or two weeks, the Commission meets with every active Capo or designated Acting Capo. This is the Family’s primary strategic meeting: structured, factual, and focused on decisions rather than ceremony.

Capo report

Major city events, active storylines, crew status, businesses, in-game assets and capital, expenses or investments, alliances and conflicts, problems, proposed solutions, content opportunities, and objectives for the next period.

Commission work

Review each crew, give feedback, approve major initiatives, coordinate cross-city activity, establish the Family agenda, and schedule scenes, events, meetings, and content.

Attendance

A Right Hand may attend as Acting Capo when properly designated. The appointment is temporary and carries only the authority needed for the meeting and current reporting period.

Report the facts. Identify the problem. Propose the solution. Establish the next move.
LVIII
CHAPTER LVIII

The Commission Record

RULE

Every Family Meeting creates a permanent, clearance-controlled record so decisions, priorities, and storylines do not disappear into voice calls or scattered messages.

City status

Active crews, Capos, membership condition, current objectives, and coverage gaps.

Assets & capital

Businesses, properties, vehicles, facilities, significant in-game holdings, crew treasuries, Commission reserves, investments, and material financial changes. No real-world financial information belongs in the record.

Operations & story

Active businesses, supply systems, crew priorities, major storylines, unfinished threads, and upcoming events.

Decisions

Approved initiatives, assigned owners, deadlines, leadership direction, and the next review point.

Clearance

The Commission decides what may be released to Capos, Made Members, Associates, or the public archive. A record is not in-character knowledge unless the release explicitly establishes that it was communicated in roleplay.

BOOK 03 · CHAPTERS VI — IX · XXIX — XXX · LXII

The Crews

Capos, Right Hands, Made Members, Associates, sponsorship, and continuity of command.

VI
CHAPTER VI

The Capo

RULE

Every recognized city has one Capo. The Capo leads the local Fachelli crew, answers directly to the Commission, and remains accountable for everything delegated under that charter.

Establish and maintain the crew, understand host-server rules, and maintain a recognizable local headquarters.

Develop businesses and storylines, protect the Family reputation, assign responsibilities, coordinate recruitment, and maintain relationships.

Maintain the crew ledger, local treasury, Commission reserve where supported, content coordination, and regular Commission reports.

Standing rule

Capo is not an honorary rank. It is an active leadership position.

Local authority

The Capo controls ordinary business decisions, local relationships, routine assignments, minor conflicts, and the day-to-day economic life of the chartered city crew.

Daily rhythm

Maintain city awareness, communicate with key members, make priority decisions, preserve important relationships, remove roadblocks, and protect the crew’s reputation.

Weekly rhythm

Review every office, finances, assets, roster health, objectives, and content opportunities; prepare the Commission report and attend the Family Meeting.

Operating principle

The Commission sets the standard. The Capo runs the city.

VII
CHAPTER VII

The Right Hand

RULE

The Right Hand is second in command and must understand the whole local operation well enough to maintain continuity when the Capo is unavailable.

Coordinates the crew, roster, Associates, schedules, business oversight, story tracking, communication, and temporary leadership.

Selection

The office belongs to the person most capable of helping the crew operate—not automatically the Capo’s closest friend.

Clearance

Right Hand is an operational appointment normally held by a Made Member. It does not create a separate website clearance tier.

Daily rhythm

Coordinate assignments and schedules, track active problems, and keep operations moving when the Capo is occupied or unavailable.

Weekly rhythm

Review roster activity and coverage gaps, prepare operational notes, confirm that every member understands their assignment, and remain ready to serve as Acting Capo.

VIII
CHAPTER VIII

Acting Command

RULE

Real life comes first, but Capo and Right Hand are continuity-critical. When either expects a meaningful absence, an Acting Capo or Acting Right Hand should be named with clear temporary authority.

The acting officer receives only the authority necessary to keep the crew functioning.

Temporary authority ends when the permanent officer returns unless the Commission determines otherwise.

Vacation is not misconduct. Work is not misconduct. Family obligations are not misconduct. Communicate.
IX
CHAPTER IX

Made Members

RULE

A Made Member is fully recognized by the Family. Made status represents trust, character, responsibility, and loyalty to the Code—not personal superiority.

May sponsor Associates, represent the Family, hold crew responsibilities, propose operations, develop stories, mentor members, and participate in planning.

Standard

Judge Made status by trust, judgment, creativity, teamwork, communication, and respect—not kills, wealth, hours played, or popularity.

Rank and assignment

Family Rank records a character’s standing in the wider canon. A Local Assignment records the job held in a particular city, crew, business, game, or production. A local storyline does not automatically rewrite global standing.

No real authority

Made status is fictional recognition and never grants real-world authority, labor, payment, access, control, or entitlement over another community member.

XXIX
CHAPTER XXIX

Associates

RULE

Every prospective member enters as an Associate and completes a minimum two-week trial with a Made Sponsor.

Learn the Code, Family culture, server rules, business systems, crew hierarchy, communication, roleplay expectations, and operational responsibilities.

Evaluation

Review personality, judgment, respect, reliability, collaboration, roleplay, communication, conflict response, and ability to lose well.

Outcome

The Sponsor recommends Make, Extend Trial, or Release. Two weeks creates eligibility, not a guarantee.

Crew before numbers

A candidate must meet the Family’s cultural standard and strengthen an identified need. Combat ability, friendship, availability, or raw headcount alone are never sufficient reasons to recruit.

Quality before quantity

The founding circle establishes the culture. Recruitment remains gradual and selective; reliability, boundaries, initiative, scene etiquette, host respect, and the ability to create opportunities matter more than rapid growth.

Onboarding path

Discover the content, follow the lore, learn the purpose, read the Code and community policies, apply, attend Montaro orientation, complete probation and training, receive a fitting assignment, and earn greater responsibility through contribution.

Creative pathways

Assignments may fit roleplayers, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, writers, developers, designers, musicians, editors, organizers, and other community builders. Independent creative identity remains welcome.

XXX
CHAPTER XXX

The Sponsor

RULE

Sponsorship means a Made Member believes an Associate may represent the Family and accepts responsibility for teaching what that representation requires.

Introduce the Associate, explain the Code and local rules, create appropriate opportunities, identify strengths, recommend specialization, correct minor errors, and report serious concerns.

Boundary

Sponsors do not own Associates. Associates are apprentices, not servants.

LXII
CHAPTER LXII

Leave, Return & Character Continuity

GUIDANCE

Real life comes first. When a long absence affects an important storyline, leadership and the player should create a voluntary, lore-appropriate continuity exit and a natural return without demanding private real-world explanations.

Possible exits

Family business elsewhere, relocation, hiding, retirement, imprisonment, hospitalization where appropriate, witness-protection or informant stories, character death, or another setting-appropriate disappearance. Death is never automatically required.

Return brief

Before returning, the player receives a concise update on leadership, city conditions, major departures or deaths, businesses, alliances, rivals, active stories, and the character’s current standing.

Current timeline

A returning character does not automatically resume the exact authority, relationships, or story position held months earlier. The world continued while the player was away.

BOOK 04 · CHAPTERS X — XI · XLII

The Crew Offices

Nine bounded responsibilities that cover the whole operation without creating invented rank or competing ownership.

Steward, Quartermaster, Artisan, Broker, Bookkeeper, Dispatcher, Fixer, Enforcer, and Archivist are functional offices—not ranks. No assignment creates status over another Made Member.

Build for function

Recruit to fill a genuine operational, cultural, or story need—not simply because a friend is available, another faction is larger, or the crew wants more numbers.

Mature-crew target

A smaller crew with nine dependable people and clear ownership is more valuable than twenty members without purpose.

XI
CHAPTER XI

Cross-Training

GUIDANCE

Every crew establishes redundancy so no individual becomes irreplaceable and no essential operation dies when one person is unavailable.

01Primary
02Secondary
03Continuity

Maintain a named lead and secondary for Steward, Quartermaster, Artisan, Broker, Bookkeeper, Dispatcher, Fixer, Enforcer, and Archivist coverage.

Document enough knowledge that the secondary can preserve continuity without creating competing ownership.

Every function has one accountable lead and one named secondary.

An office is a responsibility, not a rank, and creates no authority outside its scope.

Cross-training creates continuity; it does not create competing command.

A small crew may bundle offices temporarily, but every deliverable remains separately owned and reported.

XLII
CHAPTER XLII

Rank Is Responsibility

RULE

Rank does not determine personal value. Higher rank means more responsibility, more accountability, and a greater obligation to improve everyone else’s experience.

Three separate records

Family position records fictional standing. XP records documented contribution. Community permission records real website authority. None automatically changes either of the others.

Living tree

A member may be placed within a crew by Family position and local office. Crew precedence establishes the macro order; rank and precedence establish the micro order beneath each Capo.

Equal responsibilities

Every crew office is evaluated by reliability, judgment, continuity, and the value it creates. The Enforcer receives no greater status than the Steward, Bookkeeper, Artisan, or any other accountable office.

Anyone seeking rank primarily for authority, ego, status, or control misunderstands the Family.
BOOK 05 · CHAPTERS XII — XXI · LXV — LXXIV

Business & Economy

City profiles, true cost, margin, compensation, reserves, contributions, data, and sustainable in-game systems.

XII
CHAPTER XII

The Fachelli Business Doctrine

GUIDANCE

Every established crew should operate at least one recognizable legitimate in-game business that can serve as its public home base and give ordinary players a reason to interact with the Family.

Examples

Taxi, delivery, food truck, restaurant, transportation, logistics, marketplace, nightclub, automotive, or another server-approved enterprise.

Standard

The exact business matters less than its usefulness to the city and the consistency of its operation.

Entrepreneurship

A legitimate in-game business is a roleplay platform for leadership, employment, marketing, accounting, logistics, negotiation, events, competition, training, content, and collaboration with non-family players—not merely a front or passive payout.

System philosophy

Automate infrastructure where useful, but keep judgment, relationships, ideas, negotiation, and storytelling human.

XIII
CHAPTER XIII

Business Before Violence

GUIDANCE

The Fachelli reputation should be ‘If you need something, call them’—not ‘those are the people who shoot everyone.’

Create customers before enemies and understand the public economy before building an underground network.

Reputation target

Dependability.

Before becoming feared, become useful. Before seeking territory, build relationships.
XIV
CHAPTER XIV

The Pipeline

GUIDANCE

Within each server’s mechanics and rules, crews identify valuable economic systems and build reliable supply and distribution pipelines.

01Source
02Material
03Production
04Distribution
05Customer
06Reinvestment

Compete through availability, logistics, organization, service, relationships, fair negotiation, pricing, and reliable sourcing.

Boundary

Become the preferred source through better play—not by exploiting mechanics or preventing others from participating.

XV
CHAPTER XV

The Market Doctrine

GUIDANCE

A strong crew understands its city’s economy better than its enemies understand their weapons.

Track high-demand products, scarce materials, recurring customers, crafting bottlenecks, major suppliers, dependent businesses, reasonable margins, and new opportunities.

Competitive edge

Be faster, better stocked, more organized, more dependable, and easier to work with—not more destructive out of character.

XVI
CHAPTER XVI

The Front Business

GUIDANCE

Where server mechanics and rules support it, a legitimate business may also serve as the narrative front for fictional underground activity.

Public

Provide useful goods and services to the city.

Private

Participate in server-approved organized-crime stories, including fictional laundering mechanics where available.

Real-world boundary

All money cleaning, proceeds, enterprises, and transactions described by the Family refer only to fictional in-game mechanics and currency.

XVII
CHAPTER XVII

The Family Ledger

RULE

Every established crew maintains an internal in-game accounting system appropriate to its city so leadership can understand and continue the operation.

Track legitimate businesses, fictional underground operations, revenue, expenses, inventory, assets, obligations, contributions, balances, investments, and major purchases.

Continuity test

If a Capo disappeared tomorrow, another qualified member should be able to understand how the crew operates.

XVIII
CHAPTER XVIII

The Kickback System

RULE

Where rules and mechanics permit, profitable in-game operations contribute an agreed and sustainable portion of proceeds to the crew treasury, which in turn makes a recurring contribution to the Commission.

Cadence

Daily or weekly, depending on the speed and design of the server economy.

Purpose

Fund operations, expansion, new crews, cross-city events, shared assets, replacement equipment, emergency support, and story-driven initiatives.

Limit

Members are roleplayers, not employees working a second job. Contributions must remain sustainable and enjoyable.

XIX
CHAPTER XIX

The Commission Reserve

RULE

Where supported, every Capo maintains an in-game Commission Reserve representing the city’s contribution to the larger Family.

Use the reserve for new crews, visiting members, Commission operations, events, shared assets, cross-city stories, and major initiatives.

Accountability

Appropriate leadership can review the ledger. The Commission never treats city crews as personal ATMs; the reserve belongs to the story and organization.

XX
CHAPTER XX

The Weekly Crew Report

RULE

Every active Capo maintains a concise operational brief so the Commission can understand the whole Family without micromanaging each city.

Business

What is operating, earning, or generating interaction?

Crew

Who is active and what responsibilities are they handling?

Story

What storylines are developing?

Economy

Which products, services, materials, or market opportunities matter now?

Relationships

Who are the important allies, rivals, customers, suppliers, and contacts?

Content

Which scenes, developments, or events should enter the archive?

Problems

What requires Commission help?

Next move

What is the crew focused on during the coming week?

XXI
CHAPTER XXI

Strategy & Delegation

RULE

Information flows upward; direction flows downward. The Commission coordinates the Family, while Capos command their cities.

01Crew reports
02Capo interprets
03Commission coordinates
04Capo delegates
05Crew acts

Crews send reports, opportunities, and problems through the Capo to the Commission.

The Commission sets larger priorities; the Capo adapts them to local mechanics, rules, culture, economy, relationships, and current storylines.

LXV
CHAPTER LXV

Roleplay Currency Only

ZERO TOLERANCE

Every amount, asset, debt, payment, margin, reserve, contribution, business, property, good, and transaction described by the Fachelli Economic Doctrine exists only as fictional in-game currency, property, goods, and permitted game mechanics.

No exchange

The Family never accepts, exchanges, distributes, requests, or requires real-world currency for in-game currency, items, weapons, materials, businesses, properties, ranks, Made status, membership, protection, access, influence, roleplay outcomes, fictional debts, Commission contributions, or any other game benefit.

No conversion

There is no conversion rate between Family roleplay currency and real money. No Family ledger establishes real financial ownership, no fictional debt creates a real-world debt, and no member pays real money to satisfy an in-character obligation.

Platform purchases

Legitimate platform- or server-approved purchases, subscriptions, and donations remain solely between the player and that provider under its rules. They are not Family transactions and cannot purchase Family status or outcomes.

Data boundary

Never enter real bank accounts, cards, tax information, payment credentials, legal ownership records, or personally identifying financial data into a Family ledger or economic dashboard.

Roleplay money stays in roleplay.
LXVI
CHAPTER LXVI

The City Economic Profile

RULE

The Capo and economic team must understand the economy they command before copying prices or operations from another city. The model is standardized; the numbers are local.

Living economy

Record common legal-job income, basic cost of living, purchasing power, food, fuel, housing, repairs, medical costs, licensing, and recurring business overhead.

Materials

Identify the most valuable material and the most necessary material appearing across useful production chains.

Products

Identify the most valuable, most consistent, and most necessary products or services.

Demand

Map the city’s most popular activity and the support product or service its participants repeatedly consume.

Competition

Understand who else provides the same value, what they charge, how dependable they are, and why customers would choose the Family’s operation.

What does this city need, what does it cost us to provide it, and what will people reasonably pay for it?
LXVII
CHAPTER LXVII

Follow the Activity — Supply the Need

GUIDANCE

The crew does not need to imitate the crowd. It should understand what the crowd repeatedly consumes and become the dependable supplier supporting that activity.

01Source
02Acquire
03Produce
04Store
05Distribute
06Sell
07Record
08Pay
09Reserve
10Contribute
11Reinvest
Examples

Racing creates demand for repairs, fuel, parts, transport, and event logistics. Fishing, mining, restaurants, vehicles, nightlife, and other popular activities each create repeat support needs.

Value test

Every stage must create enough value to justify its existence. A stage that chronically consumes more than it creates should be fixed, replaced, combined with another office, automated only through permitted mechanics, or discontinued.

Do not just follow the crowd. Supply what the crowd needs.
LXVIII
CHAPTER LXVIII

True Operating Cost

RULE

No operation prices from visible material cost alone. Selling price begins only after the crew understands the full value consumed to make the product available.

01Materials
02Acquisition / player time
03Production
04Transport
05Overhead
06Expected loss
07True cost
Purpose

True Operating Cost prevents an operation from appearing profitable while quietly wasting member time, vehicles, replacement stock, property expense, or other resources.

Office ownership

Quartermaster records procurement and stock cost; Artisan records production inputs; Dispatcher records movement cost; Steward records front overhead; Bookkeeper consolidates the approved cost model.

LXIX
CHAPTER LXIX

The Fachelli Margin

RULE

Most sustainable Family businesses target a 25–35% gross profit margin. Margin is measured against selling revenue—not confused with markup—and may be adapted to legitimate local conditions.

High-volume essentials — 10–20%

Lower margin, reliable repeat demand, useful volume, and a reputation as the dependable supplier.

Standard Family business — 25–35%

The preferred range for most healthy operations, leaving room for member earnings, reserves, contributions, and reinvestment.

Specialized or scarce — 35–50%

Appropriate only when scarcity, acquisition difficulty, production complexity, limited availability, or legitimate expertise supports the value.

High-risk / high-overhead RP

No universal target. Price must reflect server rules and mechanics, replacement costs, scarcity, permitted risk, and story.

Margin, not markup

If an item costs 100 and sells for 125, profit is 25 and markup is 25%, but gross margin is 20% because 25 ÷ 125 = 20%. The Family dashboard uses gross margin.

Protect the margin without exploiting the customer.
LXX
CHAPTER LXX

The Profit Waterfall & Office Earnings

RULE

Customer revenue moves through a deliberate waterfall so the operation survives, the people producing value are compensated, and only distributable profit moves upward.

01Customer revenue
02Direct costs
03Member earnings
04Business reserve
05Crew treasury
06Commission contribution
07Reinvestment
Order matters

Replace materials and cover unavoidable costs first; compensate participating members; preserve operating capital; strengthen the local treasury; contribute upward only from distributable profit; reinvest what remains.

Never starve the operation

No Capo or Commission seat should weaken inventory, member participation, or continuity merely to increase an upward payment.

Nine-office value chain

Steward operates the front; Quartermaster sources and protects inventory; Artisan produces; Dispatcher stores and moves; Broker sells and maintains customers; Fixer opens supplier and partnership channels; Enforcer protects legitimate scenes through restraint; Bookkeeper records costs, payouts, reserves, and contributions; Archivist preserves the Data Book and weekly record.

Leadership

The Right Hand coordinates the chain. The Capo is custodian of the crew treasury and accountable for solvency, local allocations, and sustainable contributions—not the personal owner of crew capital.

Participation standard

Roleplay is not hourly employment, but nobody essential to a healthy operation should consistently lose in-game currency because their work happens behind the scenes.

LXXI
CHAPTER LXXI

The Family Contribution System

RULE

The in-character kickback system aligns healthy operations, healthy crews, and the larger Family through modest contributions taken from distributable in-game profit—not gross sales.

Operation → Crew

After costs, appropriate member compensation, and operating reserve, a profitable operation generally contributes about 10% of distributable in-game profit to the Crew Treasury. The Capo may adjust for local conditions.

Crew operating reserve

Crew capital funds properties, vehicles, businesses, inventory, events, replacement assets, ceremonies, emergency expense, story development, recruitment scenes, and local expansion. It belongs to the crew.

City → Commission

Once financially stable, a crew generally begins near 10% of distributable Crew Treasury growth to its Commission Reserve. Maturity, losses, cost of living, expansion, events, economic conditions, and story may justify adjustment.

Development period

New crews normally receive time to establish a functional operation before recurring Commission contributions begin. Build the crew before you tax the crew.

No direct ordinary-member collection

The Commission does not take directly from ordinary members unless a specific consensual roleplay storyline establishes a permitted fictional arrangement.

A small share of many healthy operations is better than a large share of operations we have destroyed.
LXXII
CHAPTER LXXII

The Commission Reserve & Economic Flywheel

RULE

Each recognized city maintains an identifiable in-game Commission Reserve where supported. The reserve exists to expand story and capability—not to become a scoreboard.

01Capital
02Assets
03Capability
04Interaction
05Story
06Reputation
07Opportunity
08Capital
Review

The Commission may review contributions received, current balances, major expenditures, approved investments, and each city’s contribution capacity.

Approved uses

New city crews, major Family events, Commission visits, cross-city stories, shared assets, business expansion, recovery assistance, and important Family initiatives.

Reinvestment

A large idle treasury is not success when the crew lacks businesses, transport, supplies, systems, content opportunities, or continuity. Capital should repeatedly return to the universe as useful capability and story.

LXXIII
CHAPTER LXXIII

The Business Health & Weak-Link Test

GUIDANCE

Every major operation is reviewed through demand, margin, people, treasury, and continuity. When performance falls, diagnose the failing stage instead of issuing a vague demand to work harder.

Demand

Are people actually buying, and is inventory turning over at a healthy pace?

Margin

Is actual gross margin within the operation’s justified target range?

People

Are participating members compensated enough to keep the role sustainable and enjoyable?

Treasury

Does the operation replenish itself and strengthen the crew after proper payouts?

Continuity

Can the operation continue when one person is unavailable?

Signals

No materials means sourcing; materials without products means production; product without sales means distribution or demand; high sales with low profit means pricing or cost; profit without treasury growth means accounting or expenditure; treasury growth with broke members means compensation; inability to restock means reserve; a Capo doing everything means organization.

Find the bottleneck.
LXXIV
CHAPTER LXXIV

The Economic Data Book & Commission Dashboard

RULE

Every city maintains a standardized Economic Data Book. The restricted Commission dashboard aggregates legitimate city reports into one cross-game strategic picture clearly labeled as roleplay and in-game currency.

Tracked metrics

Common income, living costs, material price, acquisition time, production cost, market price, units sold, gross margin, inventory turnover, member payouts, business reserve, Crew Treasury, Commission Reserve, contribution, bottleneck, and next investment.

Permitted sources

Legitimate gameplay, public server information, permitted mechanics, recorded crew transactions, and normal roleplay interactions. No exploits, metagaming, or unauthorized administrative information.

Weekly economic report

City conditions, cost of living, purchasing power, primary business, key material and product, demand driver, target and actual margin, Crew Treasury, Commission Reserve, contribution, bottleneck, and opportunity.

Commission view

Total in-game assets, crew capital, reserves by city, operation revenue and margin, contributions, role coverage, strongest and weakest operations, bottlenecks, major investments, decisions, and expansion capacity.

Economic autonomy

The Commission establishes reporting, accounting, margin philosophy, contribution framework, and Family-wide objectives. The Capo sets local pricing, compensation, inventory, sourcing, products, suppliers, customers, ordinary investments, and justified local adjustments.

Final standard

Create value. Make the sale. Cover the cost. Pay the people. Protect the business. Build the crew. Contribute upward. Reinvest in the Family. The money is fictional; the value is the story.

BOOK 06 · CHAPTERS XXII — XXIII · LII · LV

Reputation

Becoming part of a city, developing influence, and measuring progress by the roleplay created.

XXII
CHAPTER XXII

Reputation

GUIDANCE

Every Fachelli crew must first become part of its city, then build a recognizable reputation based on dependability, respect, business, organization, fair roleplay, strong characters, and memorable stories.

First objective

Open the business. Meet people. Employ people. Learn the economy, government, police, neighborhoods, suppliers, customers, and existing stories. Become dependable before attempting to become feared.

Deliberate respect

Fear may develop naturally through story. Respect must be built deliberately.

Reward

Reputation should recognize meaningful scenes, support for other roleplayers, mentorship, business consistency, content, training, reports, objectives, reliability, and long-term character development.

Do not reward

Random violence, harassment, mechanical domination, empty wealth, real-money spending, leadership favoritism, or unnecessary conflict are not valid progression paths.

Whatever you think about the Fachellis, when they say they’re going to handle something, they handle it.
XXIII
CHAPTER XXIII

The Fachelli Approach to Power

GUIDANCE

Power is not how many people fear you. Power is how many doors open when you walk into the room.

Use conversation, business, favors, negotiation, connections, reputation, diplomacy, in-game money, information, and appropriate in-character intimidation.

Final escalation

Violence is one tool, not the default answer. If every problem ends in gunfire, the crew has failed to develop meaningful power.

Influence

Approach problems through business, conversation, information, favors, diplomacy, negotiation, reputation, in-game money, connections, and appropriate in-character intimidation before force.

Power is not how many people fear you. Power is how many doors open when you walk into the room.
LII
CHAPTER LII

The City Establishment Doctrine

GUIDANCE

A new Fachelli crew develops in phases instead of immediately attempting major criminal operations. Build the operation before extracting from it.

01Learn
02Establish
03Serve
04Connect
05Organize
06Expand
07Contribute
Learn

Understand the host rules, economy, culture, businesses, organizations, and existing storylines.

Establish

Secure an appropriate headquarters or legitimate public business.

Serve

Provide something the city genuinely needs and become known through interaction.

Connect

Build relationships with civilians, businesses, government characters, suppliers, customers, and factions.

Organize

Assign the nine crew offices with one accountable lead, one secondary, and clear boundaries between every function.

Expand

Develop additional businesses, supply chains, alliances, conflicts, and server-approved underground stories.

Contribute

Begin regular reporting and sustainable in-game Commission contributions only after the crew is established.

LV
CHAPTER LV

Reputation as Progression

GUIDANCE

Crew progress is measured through community value, dependable business, appropriate representation, memorable story, and operational reliability—not primarily through wealth, territory, kills, or mechanical dominance.

Community reputation

Does the crew create enjoyable interaction for other players?

Business reputation

Are its businesses useful, active, and dependable?

Family reputation

Does the crew represent the Fachelli name appropriately?

Story contribution

Does it create memorable characters, conflicts, events, and content?

Operational reliability

Does it communicate, maintain leadership, manage responsibilities, and follow through?

Member XP

XP may be awarded for Sit-Downs, storylines, reports, business roleplay, mentorship, content, training, and service to the host city. Every adjustment requires a recorded category, reason, and Commission actor.

Awards

Commission awards recognize distinctive service or creative contribution and appear as a star beside an opted-in public member profile. Awards do not purchase or guarantee rank.

No grinding or pay-to-rank

Repetitive activity, aggression, social closeness to leadership, and real-world financial support do not justify XP, awards, or promotion.

BOOK 07 · CHAPTERS XLVIII — LI

Dress & Tradition

The official palette, Burgundy Mark, rank presentation, and two modes of Family dress.

XLVIII
CHAPTER XLVIII

The Family Colors

TRADITION

Oxblood Burgundy is the official Family color. It represents loyalty, tradition, sacrifice, restraint, and the history carried from one city to another. It is a mark of recognition, never a loud gang uniform.

Primary — Oxblood Burgundy

The Family color and principal brand signal.

Secondary — Charcoal

The primary neutral for suits, coats, vehicles, interiors, and formal presentation.

Formal — Black

Reserved for traditional formalwear and serious occasions.

Commission accent — Antique Gold / Brass

Used sparingly for leadership, tradition, and Commission materials.

Light neutral — Ivory / Cream

Used for shirts, documents, interiors, and formal Family materials.

We wear the colors to recognize one another and remember what we represent.
XLIX
CHAPTER XLIX

The Burgundy Mark

TRADITION

Within the Family, the Burgundy Mark represents Made status. Associates do not formally wear it. A member earns the right to incorporate a recognizable but restrained burgundy identifier after becoming Made.

Appropriate forms

A pocket square, tie, scarf, blouse or shirt detail, vest, lapel detail, or another tasteful and server-appropriate accessory.

Continuity

The exact item may change between characters, games, periods, and cities. The Mark represents membership in the Family—not one particular crew.

The Burgundy Mark is earned, not issued at recruitment.
L
CHAPTER L

Dress by Rank

TRADITION

Dress should communicate the member’s responsibility while remaining believable for the character, profession, business, city, and situation.

Associate

Clean, believable, presentable, and appropriate to the environment. No official Burgundy Mark during the trial period.

Made Member

Smart-casual through business dress with a restrained Burgundy Mark. Clean, coordinated, recognizable, and never costume-like.

Right Hand

A slightly elevated operational standard with the Burgundy Mark and an optional silver detail representing trust and delegated authority.

Capo

Authority expressed through the identity of the city business, with the Burgundy Mark and an optional antique-gold or brass detail.

Commission

Individualized leadership dress rather than identical uniforms: Enzo communicates permanence; Tony authority; Nico judgment; Fonzo readiness; Francesca elegant and unmistakable leadership.

LI
CHAPTER LI

Two Modes of Dress

TRADITION

Every established crew recognizes Business Dress for ordinary city operations and Commission Dress for important Family occasions.

Business Dress

Reflect the legitimate business, character, responsibilities, city culture, and situation. Members should look like they belong in the world they inhabit.

Commission Dress

Used for sit-downs, ceremonies, promotions, Making ceremonies, funerals, weddings, Commission meetings, photographs, and major cross-city gatherings. For Made Members and above: dark formalwear plus the Burgundy Mark.

The principle

Never sloppy while representing the Family. Never so uniform that the character disappears.

Dress for the room. Dress for the business. Represent the name.
BOOK 08 · CHAPTERS XXV — XXVIII · LIII — LIV · LXIII — LXIV

Multi-City Operations

The Old Country, Commission visits, displaced crews, local autonomy, canon, and future roleplay worlds.

XXV
CHAPTER XXV

Calling the Old Country

RULE

A Capo facing a major storyline may request help from the Commission. If approved, lore-appropriate reinforcements, advisers, specialists, relatives, or visiting Made Members may enter the city.

Assistance must be permitted by the host, use legitimate accounts and characters, fit the story, and receive Family approval.

No circumvention

Old Country assistance cannot evade punishments, restrictions, or character rules and cannot be used to overwhelm another faction with out-of-character numbers.

Major narrative event

Cross-city reinforcement is reserved for Commission visits, major negotiations, ceremonies, investigations, significant threats, long-running conflicts, and important Family events—not ordinary combat support.

Commission discretion

Assistance may be refused when it would damage the story, violate host rules, create unfair numerical escalation, harm community relations, or reward poor local leadership. Sometimes the correct answer is: ‘Handle your city.’

XXVI
CHAPTER XXVI

Montaro Territory

TRADITION

All recognized crews and members are welcome in the Old Country. Where practical, outside crews should build a corresponding Montaro presence reflecting the identity of their primary city operation.

Examples

Transportation crews use taxi or logistics facilities; food crews use restaurants; market crews use warehouses or storefronts; nightlife crews use clubs.

Shared home

Montaro is both Commission headquarters and a training and story environment for meetings, recruitment, business systems, logistics, content, and cross-crew coordination.

XXVII
CHAPTER XXVII

Displaced Crews

RULE

Membership is larger than any one server. A displaced member may request temporary work with another crew, placement in another recognized city, return to Montaro, or an appropriate new character or assignment.

XXVIII
CHAPTER XXVIII

Server Bans

ZERO TOLERANCE

A server ban does not automatically remove someone from the Family, but the Commission reviews the reason, any pattern, the member’s accountability, and whether the conduct also violated this Code.

Absolute rule

The Family never circumvents a ban through alternate accounts, false identities, or coordinated workarounds.

A member whose conduct remains consistent with the Code may participate legitimately elsewhere while the original restriction remains active.

LIII
CHAPTER LIII

City Autonomy

RULE

The Commission protects the institution; the Capo controls ordinary operations within the chartered city.

Commission authority

The Code, Family identity, membership standards, cross-city continuity, major canon, Commission resources, and Family-wide initiatives.

Capo authority

Everyday business decisions, ordinary roleplay, local relationships, minor conflicts, routine assignments, and ordinary economic decisions.

Host authority

Server rules, administrators, and community owners remain above both Family offices within their environment.

The Commission sets the standard. The Capo runs the city.
LIV
CHAPTER LIV

The Canon Structure

RULE

The Family maintains three levels of canon so many servers and games can share one institution without forcing every city into an identical universe.

Core Canon

Permanent Family history recognized across the organization: the founding, Commission membership, major milestones, recognized characters, and events formally adopted by the Commission.

City Canon

Businesses, wars, arrests, relationships, alliances, enemies, properties, politics, and developments considered true within one server or city.

Character Canon

The personal history and experience of one character, referenced across cities only when appropriate and permitted by the host.

Precedence

City Canon does not automatically rewrite Core Canon. Host-server lore and rules always take precedence.

LXIII
CHAPTER LXIII

Old Country Connection & Commission Visits

TRADITION

Outside crews remain connected to the wider Family through periodic Old Country scenes and meaningful Commission visits that create cross-city story, mentorship, ceremony, and content.

Old Country scenes

Commission meetings, ceremonies, training, business scenes, Family events, cross-crew introductions, content shoots, and support for larger Montaro storylines.

Commission visit

A recognized crew may arrange transport, rule-compliant security, accommodations, meeting sites, introductions, business tours, ceremonies, negotiations, and a major local scene.

Purpose

Leadership sees how the charter functions, the host city receives premium collaborative roleplay, and outside members remain part of one institution instead of unrelated groups sharing a name.

LXIV
CHAPTER LXIV

The Fachelli Universe

GUIDANCE

The Family is a persistent roleplay universe rather than a FiveM-only faction. Its shared DNA can travel into GTA VI-era roleplay, RedM, DayZ, Rust, and future compatible worlds while each host retains its own setting and sovereignty.

Adaptation

Each environment may interpret the Family according to its own period, rules, lore, economy, and tone. Separate games do not need to occupy one literal physical universe.

Common DNA

Hierarchy, loyalty, organization, business, reputation, character, continuity, community, and story.

Operational test

Every city must answer: Who leads us? What does everyone own? What business anchors us? What do we provide? What are we building this week? What story are we telling? What does the Commission need to know?

Principle

Build the crew before the numbers. Build the system before expansion. Build the story before chasing the win.

Servers are chapters

Each outside server is one setting within the larger history and remains governed by its own lore, rules, economy, faction restrictions, and staff authority.

Transfers

Members may move after a story concludes, a server closes, a chapter no longer fits, a Commission assignment changes, or a different creative environment is needed. A transfer never evades a ban or administrative decision.

Cross-city support

Chapters may share story concepts, introductions, creative assets, training, promotion, business ideas, production support, and lore coordination—but never private server information or metagame knowledge.

Wherever the story goes, the Family can follow.
BOOK 09 · CHAPTERS XXIV · XXXI — XLI · LIX — LXI

Conduct

War, real-life boundaries, server sovereignty, disputes, discipline, and the formal Sit-Down process.

XXIV
CHAPTER XXIV

War

RULE

The Family does not seek war simply to demonstrate strength. Conflict should have history, escalation, characters, consequences, stakes, and opportunities for both sides to participate.

The opposing player is a collaborator. Their character may be your enemy; the person behind the character is not.
XXXI
CHAPTER XXXI

Real Life Comes First

RULE

The Family never requires someone to prioritize roleplay over family, work, education, health, relationships, emergencies, or important real-world obligations.

Ordinary members are not ranked by hours played. Reliable communication matters more than constant presence.

Members do not owe leadership private explanations for their absence.

‘Unavailable this week’ is sufficient.
XXXII
CHAPTER XXXII

Leadership Availability

RULE

Capos and Right Hands do not need to be constantly online, but they must maintain continuity because their absence can stall an entire crew.

Communicate, identify outstanding responsibilities, designate acting leadership, hand off important storylines, and update the Commission when appropriate.

Restructuring

Being busy is not punishment-worthy. A role may be respectfully restructured when its responsibilities cannot be performed consistently.

XXXIII
CHAPTER XXXIII

Content & Continuity

RULE

Because the Family is content-focused, members in active storylines should communicate availability changes as early as reasonably possible.

Absence can affect recordings, scheduled scenes, collaborators, events, character development, published episodes, and continuity.

Expectation

Emergencies happen and plans change. The standard is communication—not perfection.

Archive metadata

Official stories should identify date, game, city or server, chapter, characters, crew, canon status, creator credits, related business, and related storyline when available.

Creator protection

Recording, likeness, permissions, credits, submissions, and intellectual-property questions are governed by the real Content & IP Policy—not fictional rank.

XXXIV
CHAPTER XXXIV

Content First Does Not Mean Fake Roleplay

RULE

Content should emerge from strong roleplay. Members never destroy organic scenes because a camera is recording or treat uninvolved players as unpaid background actors in a script they never accepted.

The Family tells stories with communities, not at their expense.
XXXV
CHAPTER XXXV

Server Sovereignty

RULE

Whenever the Family enters another community, it enters as a guest. Host rules and staff authority supersede Family procedure whenever they conflict.

A Capo does not outrank an administrator. The Commission does not outrank a server owner.

Disagreement

Cooperate with reasonable changes. If the relationship cannot work, leave respectfully—never attack, sabotage, harass staff, or mobilize members against the host.

XXXVI
CHAPTER XXXVI

Zero-Tolerance Conduct

ZERO TOLERANCE

Serious violations may result in immediate suspension or removal regardless of rank.

Powergaming

Using mechanics or forced actions to deny others reasonable participation in roleplay.

Metagaming

Using information gained outside legitimate character knowledge for an in-character advantage.

Harassment

Bullying, threatening, stalking, discriminating against, or repeatedly targeting a person outside consensual roleplay.

Server or admin abuse

Attacking, insulting, or mobilizing harassment against hosts, developers, moderators, or administrators over an unfavorable decision.

Ban evasion

Using alternate accounts, identities, or workarounds to bypass enforcement.

Family misrepresentation

Using the name to harass, manufacture OOC drama, impersonate leadership, violate rules, or damage the organization.

XXXVII
CHAPTER XXXVII

In-Character and Out-of-Character Boundaries

RULE

Members may portray wars, arrests, investigations, betrayals, robberies, political conflicts, disputes, rivalries, and character deaths while maintaining basic out-of-character respect.

Some of the Family’s best collaborators may portray its greatest enemies.
XXXVIII
CHAPTER XXXVIII

Loss

RULE

Members must know how to lose. Arrest, defeat, failed businesses, betrayal, and collapsed operations are opportunities to create roleplay rather than excuses for toxicity.

Failure creates consequences. Consequences create stories. Stories are why the Family exists.

The Chain of Command

RULE

The chain exists for organization. It never grants authority over another person’s real life.

01Commission
02Capo
03Right Hand
04Made Members
05Associates
Right to refuse

No member must follow an instruction that violates server or platform rules, creates a genuine safety concern, involves real-world illegal conduct, constitutes harassment, or crosses a clear personal boundary.

When uncertain, stop and ask appropriate leadership or host-server staff.

CHAPTER XL

Disputes

RULE

Minor disagreements should first be handled privately and respectfully, then move upward only as necessary.

01Member
02Right Hand
03Capo
04Underboss / Commission
05Community Moderator when OOC
Protected channel

Safety concerns, harassment complaints, or matters involving leadership go directly to an appropriate real community moderator or administrator. Private office counsel never replaces protected human review.

Nobody is forced to report misconduct by a superior through that same superior.

CHAPTER XLI

Discipline

RULE

Discipline protects the community and restores standards; it does not satisfy egos. Serious zero-tolerance violations may skip intermediate steps.

CHAPTER LIX

The Sit-Down

RULE

A Sit-Down is a formal meeting called when ordinary crew communication is no longer appropriate. It may involve the Commission, Capos, Right Hands, Made Members, or multiple crews as the matter requires.

Who may request

Any recognized member may request a Sit-Down through the protected member docket. Requesting one does not guarantee that leadership will convene it.

Threshold

Minor disagreements, routine questions, ordinary crew management, and delegable issues should remain within the normal chain of command.

Purpose

A Sit-Down exists to resolve a defined serious matter—not to create spectacle, bypass a Capo, or trap another member in an endless argument.

Do not waste a Sit-Down.
LX
CHAPTER LX

Two Rooms — IC and OOC

ZERO TOLERANCE

In-character Sit-Downs and out-of-character administrative conferences are separate processes. They may concern the same incident, but their authority, evidence, language, and consequences must never be confused.

In-character Sit-Down

A fictional scene inside the game addressing territory, war, alliances, betrayal, debts, business disputes, character standing, or consensual storyline consequences—including a character’s death, disappearance, or loss of status where host rules permit.

Out-of-character conference

A private, non-roleplayed discussion of community conduct, harassment allegations, repeated Code violations, leadership failure, server enforcement, membership, safety, or platform concerns.

Absolute boundary

No fictional rank controls another person’s real life. An IC threat is never an OOC threat, an IC punishment never substitutes for community moderation, and no member may use Mafia language to intimidate a real person.

Lawful escalation

Credible real-world threats, harassment, unlawful conduct, or safety concerns may be preserved and reported to appropriate server staff, platforms, counsel, emergency services, or lawful authorities as warranted.

LXI
CHAPTER LXI

The Rule of the Sit-Down

RULE

Every Sit-Down begins with a defined issue and ends with a decision, assigned next action, or clearly scheduled follow-up.

01State the issue
02Bring the facts
03Propose a solution
04Hear the room
05Record the decision
Know why it was called

The issue, requested participants, meeting type, and desired outcome should be stated before the room convenes.

Bring facts

Do not arrive with rumor and expect the room to perform an entire investigation in real time. OOC matters should use relevant, lawfully obtained evidence and respect privacy.

Respect the room

Every participant receives an opportunity to speak. The chair keeps the discussion within scope and may pause a meeting that becomes unsafe or unproductive.

Leave with a record

The outcome, responsible person, boundaries, and next review point are entered in the protected docket at the appropriate clearance.

BOOK 10 · CHAPTERS XLIII · XLVI — XLVII · LVI

The Standard

Promotion, the Fachelli Test, the final Order, and the measure of a legacy worth leaving.

XLIII
CHAPTER XLIII

Promotion

RULE

Promotion should answer one question: will giving this person additional responsibility improve the Family and the experience of the people around them?

Trust

Can they be relied upon?

Judgment

Do they make reasonable decisions under pressure?

Communication

Can people reach and understand them?

Storytelling

Do they create opportunities for other characters?

Temperament

Can they win without arrogance and lose without toxicity?

Initiative

Do they solve problems?

Community

Do people enjoy roleplaying with them?

Organization

Can they build systems others can use?

Evidence

XP, awards, reports, Sit-Down participation, story records, mentorship, and host-city contribution support review but never create an automatic entitlement to promotion.

Promotion review

Tony may send a signed direction to the Commission to promote, hold with milestones, retain, or open a Sit-Down. A human Commission decision and an available story responsibility are always required.

XLVI
CHAPTER XLVI

The Fachelli Test

RULE

Before a major action, every member answers four questions. If the answers repeatedly become ‘no, but we’ll probably win,’ do not proceed.

Is it allowed?

Does it comply with the game’s and server’s rules?

Is it respectful?

Are the actual people involved being treated appropriately?

Does it create roleplay?

Will other players have meaningful opportunities to participate?

Does it make a good story?

Will it produce something worth remembering?

XLVII
CHAPTER XLVII

The Order

RULE

Every member—from a first-day Associate to the Founding Godfather—is bound by the same fundamental order.

Protect the people. Respect the host. Honor the story. Communicate with the Family.

Build before you destroy. Become useful before becoming feared. Play the character, not the scoreboard.

Create more roleplay than you consume. Help your crew become dependable. Accept consequences.

Respect the people playing your enemies. Leave every community better than you found it.

Never sacrifice the character of the Family simply to win a game.
LVI
CHAPTER LVI

The Standard of Success

GUIDANCE

A crew succeeds when people recognize it, enjoy interacting with it, benefit from its businesses, receive new opportunities, remember its characters, and inherit stories worth continuing.

Did people recognize us and enjoy interacting with us?

Did our businesses contribute to the city and create opportunities for other players?

Did we respect the people hosting us and create memorable characters?

Did we produce stories worth remembering and leave something behind?

Member progression

Associate: learn the Family. Made: represent the Family. Right Hand: support the crew. Capo: build the city. Commission: protect the Family.

Crew progression

Arrive. Learn. Establish. Serve. Connect. Organize. Build. Create stories. Leave a legacy.

Mission standard

A mission is a story prompt with mechanics, not merely a repeatable payout loop. It should create a decision, relationship, conflict, consequence, business opportunity, revelation, collaboration, content moment, or lore entry. Failure may create the better story.

Development filter

Every proposed system should answer whether it strengthens storytelling, businesses, training, content production, continuity, or the host city. Features without that purpose remain secondary.

Measure

Success is scene quality, character longevity, opportunities for others, coherent lore, professional conduct, content quality, host reputation, and sustainable businesses and storylines.

CHAPTER LVI · THE STANDARD OF SUCCESS

Create stories.
Leave a legacy.

Associate: learn the Family. Made: represent the Family. Right Hand: support the crew. Capo: build the city. Commission: protect the Family. Arrive, learn, establish, serve, connect, organize, build, create stories, and leave something worth remembering.
