Mafia organized roleplaying Clan, interested?

When APB comes out this summer, I was thinking of finding a few like minded people to start a mafia centered clan. But I don't nessessarily mean roleplayin in the traditional sense, but more along the lines of how you progress your character, and conduct ourselves in the gang. Does that make sense?
Right now we dont know all of the little extra features, but would anyone be interested in this? Here are a few of my ideas, and they are only ideas based on what we know and maybe a little speculation.
- Have in gang ranking system that follows mafia lore. I.E. Boss, underboss, captians, soldiers, associates. etc etc.
- Overall dress geared towards suits/high class clothes. We want to be different than the average thug gangs running around. This town needs a better class of criminals and we will give it to them.
- Though our "family" or gang wont have strict guidlines on how you should play, we are looking for like minded people that want to focus on more of an organized play-style. We want to be good at what we do, and want to make a lot of money. When possible we want to be able to get a group of whoever is on at the time and be able to pull off the high end game heists, crimes, etc with a very good success rate.
- Able to be promoted through the ranks of the Family based on your skill, success, and earning ability.
- Through dedication, loyality, etc be able to become a Made man in the Family. (though the game isn't out wont be able to decide what perks might come with that until release)
My idea of the ranking system.
Don
I
Boss

Captain Captain Captain
/ / /
Crew Crew Crew
I
I
Associates/Recruites
Now this is my idea of how it will work. When you join you will become an Associate/Recruit. You wont be an associate very long, its just basically a short trial peroid to make sure you like the guild, fit our playstyle, etc etc. Everything will be based on a 5man scale. Once you are officially in the Family you will be assigned a crew member. Every captain will have 5 crew members under them. If we end up having 8 crew members and only 1 captain, that means someone will be promoted to captain to have their own "crew" so to speak. And if there is eventually more than 5 captains, Then one of the captains will be promoted to Boss and the family will expand like that. So as people come/go there is always room for promotion within the family. I also want to stress that just because you are "assigned" as a crew member under a certain captian you are NOT required in any way to have to group with them at all times they are online. There wont be strict guidlines to it, as you can group with whomever you want, even somone not in the Family/gang or whatever. But its there to help promote grouped playstyes, a little backgroup RP, and for higher ups to help new members when possible. Basically want you to be able to feel like your apart of something big, and not only gain fame through the game buy also our guild.
I also have a few more ideas based on whether or not we have player owned headquarters, stuff on money, guns etc. But since the game isnt out and the NDA isnt lifted hard to go any farther than that.
Bascially wanting to know if anyone would be interested in forming a clan like this when the game goes live.
EDIT - I also want to stress that its a good idea to have Alt characters. This way everytime you are logged on you dont feel like everything you do has to be for "The family". That way if you just want to F*** sh*t up, drive around do your own thing, play as an enforcer you can just log on an alt and play.

I think this sounds like a pretty cool idea I wouldn't mind being a part of it.
I plan on having a group of guys that I will be working with in my very own crew from my hometown area. I like the idea you are starting, but we have a little bit different view on how we are going to run our system. I would like to meet up with you and your Mafia some time in game though and come together for some terrorizing.

Cool, you should shoot me a few of your ideas, always interested in hearing new things.
Check out my Thread labeled "S.O.A.K" then you can ask me questions that you may still have through that.
EDIT: Sorry, i didn't mean to sound rude, I just feel it would be cleaner if I put up my ideas on my thread. That way others interested could just continue on down the page.
definitely interested in this.
good luck role playing an instance game.
How does this hinder RP?
A single, seamless world has been sacrificed for extensive customization. In my opinion, being able to create very unique characters is far more important from a RP perspective.
Anyway great idea for a clan.
Sounds good. I will keep in touch when its closer to release.
As for Honeymoon, maybe you didnt read my post. But this isn't a Hardcore roleplaying guild I want to create. Just certain aspects as in how we as a gang look/ group up together. And I wasn't aware that to roleplay you had to be doing it with 10,000 people at once.
