Rules
Like any other community, The Fedelta Family has rules for general behavior. Adhere to those rules, and there will be no problems. Mind you, we do take into account that accidents happen, and we tend to take such into consideration, whenever we are talking about a violation.
-DO NOT shoot other members, even if they have a Bounty on their heads, or if you have a friend/friends in the session.
-DO NOT join other Mobster Crews, Cartels or even worse, a Police Crew. (This is THEMED crews, A.k.a. working as a police officer, mafia member or the likes)
-DO NOT wreck other members cars, or batter them on purpose, just to annoy.
-DO NOT post reports on members killing you or the likes on the crew page. Message the DON or one of the Under-bosses. We will deal with it, rather than having you annex another member.
-DO NOT initiate wars with other crews. This is a decision only the assembled leadership can make and decide upon.
-If you receive in-game cash from a hacker, do not broadcast it on the crew wall, asking if anyone wants some of it and so forth. It is a violation of the general rules, and we do not want to make it appear as if we approve, even if we can do nothing about it, and nobody cares if we approve or not. It is the principle.
-Respect a "No". If a member does not want to do or play a part in a specific thing, you must respect their wishes, and do not try to force them.
-Respect your officers. Our choices might not always seem fair or smart, but we have often had conversations about most topics, to ensure that every aspect is covered and that it is truthfully the most beneficial decision made for the family.
-Do not beg Hawk for promotions or the likes... All you do is to distance youself or excluding youself COMPLETELY from it!
-DO NOT shoot other members, even if they have a Bounty on their heads, or if you have a friend/friends in the session.

EDICT RULES
Edict rules are rules that are not set as a constant. They are often put in place to deal with current issues that are growing into an alarming problem. Each edict rule have the status of "Active" (Thus a rule) or "Dormant" (Thus not in action right now). It is the members responsibility to keep an eye on the edict rules as officers and primary part of the leadership will judge in these matters as if it were a rule violation, as long as it is active.
No micro crews <Active>
It is forbidden for members to make crews with the intention of inviting members from the Fedelta Family to establish small cliques and thus drain the Fedelta Family for activity. Violators will be given 24 hours to terminate either the crew, or all Fedelta Family assets located within, lest they wish to face termination and have the assets within forced out.
Extreme officers respect <Active>
Members that insult, harash or insult officers doing duties assigned by Don De Fedelta, can be terminated instantly with no warning at all and no reason, facing a permanent ban from the crew for trying to incite hostilities among those hand picked by the Don.
No crews with "Mafia" in the name <Dormant>
Forbidding members to have crews that are based on the Mafia, even if it is not themed, to ensure a greater distance between low-life crews and maintain our standards (Even when Dormant, it is forbidden to have themed mobster crews)
Rules in regards to the RHINO TANK
The Rhino Tank:
The Rhino tank is not a vehicle we use without a very good reason. It is a vehicle we got a LOT of rules for and if we find out that you do not follow those rules, you can be forbidden the use of it when the crew drag out their own or even worse, be removed for ruining the game for other players which would be quite the opposit of what we stand for.
When can it be called for use?
During missions it is chosen as you see fit. In a live session, however, WE ONLY TAKE OUT TANKS WHEN AN OUTSIDER BROUGHT IN A TANK TO ATTACK US OR OTHER PLAYERS! It is not tolerateable to pull it out just because we are outnumbered! This vehicle is for defense and for anti-griefing! A lot of people whip them up even when they are three against just two of us, because we coordinate better and got good members and that Means a lot of the members have had to aquire one to protect the sessions!
How long can I use it in a session?
You can use your Rhino tank for as long as the offending player (And anyone who attacks the tank during this period) is still in the session, provided you are attacking him. Normally we do not have a policy on crew killing but when someone whiped up a tank to ruin the session? We ruin the session for him by prowling his spawning points and leave him no pause. As soon as he leave? Drive your tank into the ocean so it is not there for others to take!
So. One of my crew mates just ran over my car/Shot me up as I drove along with him?
Why the heck do you drive alongside a tank? It is not considered a crew kill if members of the Fedelta pursue one of our own tanks and Wind up being shot to pieces or get their car destroyed by the tank driving over them. Pure logic, Fellows, stay away from our "Battlebus"... We are there to wreck havock on someone who just did that to everyone else. In fact, -YOU- can get a warning for them destroying your car because -YOU- put them at risk of getting into a bad sport lobby. That might not sound fair, no, because we preach that you should stick by the members.. But fact is that you are also responsible for that very member getting a bad sport rating because you stuck close. Want to help out? Follow from a distance and keep an eye on the map. Someone coming from behind the tank? Scout it out and see if it is a tank. If so? Get out of there and warn the "Battlebus" boys. Player that are being chased climbed onto a roof or ledge or use passive mode in an area where the tank can't get to him? Take him off the roof or run a bike/car over him so he can't hide.
A member just pulled me out of the tank to use it him/herself!
That is not acceptable. While the Rhino tank is a great weapon, it is stil a personal belonging. Stealing it is like stealing the ammo intended for a Fedelta member who's low on ammo... Don't do it. You expose them to the vengeance of the offender who will most likely be on foot. You also leave them exposed because they gotta keep track of their tank in case you just bail from it, they gotta find cover, keep eyes on the map and risk being miles away from a Fellow member with a ride they can tag along in.
Basic line?
RHINO TANKS ARE NOT TOYS! DO NOT RUIN SESSIONS BY WHIPPING THEM OUT! WE ARE NOT THE KIND OF CREW DESPERATE FOR BATTLE AND EASY VICTORIES! WE ARE THE KIND OF CREW THAT STRIDE TO MAKE THE ONLINE SESSIONS PEACEFULL AND FUNNY, AS LONG AS PEOPLE DO NOT KILL OUR MEMBERS! OTHERS HAVE A DIFFERENT PERCEPTION OF THIS AND THAT IS WHY WE EMPLOY NON-MAFIA MEANS TO DEAL WITH NON-MAFIA COWARDS!
DON'T BE A PANZER DANCER, BE A FAIR FRISBEE! ALWAYS ON THE LEVEL OF YOUR FOE!

Punishment
Like anywhere else and in any other society, violating the rules have consequences.
Violation 1:
This is commonly to grab your attention. The first violation caused will result in a warning sent to you to make you aware that your current actions go against what we tolerate.
Violation 2:
If you continue violating the rules, we will consider such to be ignoring us. If you are a Soldato and Thus, represent the Family, we will demote you as such is far below what we expect of a seasoned made man. Alternatively, a second warning will be dispatched to ensure that you have had a fair chance to see that we have attempted to stop your actions.
Violation 3:
On the third violation, you are outcast. At this point, we make all the active attempts to track down WHO you are and eliminate you from the rooster. Think you are smart by not linking your account? Sadly, this is also the time where we publicly list your name and use your guild membership to track and attack you until the point where you leave us by youself.
This is by violating common rules. If you violate a rule such as starting a war without the consent of the Family leadership, you will find youself removed from the Family and hunted down if you continue to spurr hostility towards the Fedeltas.
