How to Join

You are able to join a Mafia by requesting to enter in several different ways. Your character must've done at least 5 crimes before joining a Mafia. In rare cases, a Mafia will instead ask your character to join themselves.

Rule

In every Mafia, there's a rule where you must contribute to the family, and in return, get some money back. This reduces your character's usual income but crimes such as Grand Theft Auto will increase your income!

Crimes

Bank Robbery
Burglary
Extortion
Grand Theft Auto
Pickpocket
Porch Pirate
Shoplift
Train Robbery

In some mafias, there is a rat. These rats collect evidence against the family. Anyone who has a smile can be a rat though this isn't always the case. You can expose anyone as a rat, and if you choose the rat correctly, you will get the "Rat Spotter" achievement and the rat will be killed. On the other hand, if you were wrong, the mafia will attack you instead.

Being a Rat

You can choose to become a rat but you only have 5 years to collect evidence from the family and send it into the police. You must also not be caught doing any crimes. The snitch option is available as a choice when interacting with Mafia members. If you were caught by the Police, they will give you an option to either become a rat or go to Prison.

If the mafia exposes you as a rat, you have an option to kill whoever it was that exposed you or say that you're not a rat. If all the members of the mafia agree with one another that you were the rat, they will kill you.

Getting all the evidence in 5 years will make the Police let you go scot free no matter what crimes your character did in the past! You can choose to enter the Witness Protection Program where can choose 2 new countries to go to where you will be given a brand new identity, you also bring any children or spouse with you. However, you can opt out of this and take your chances. The big downside is that you can find some object which is the calling card of the Mafia you snitched on, a Mafia member will confront you and you can choose how to react. Whether it be running away, assaulting him or begging for forgiveness.

Being the Godfather

As the Godfather,

Pros

Hierarchy

Every mafia syndicate has a hierarchy. The most important member is the Godfather (which has different names in other mafias, for example Padrino/a in the Latin Mafia or Chairman in the Yakuza), however most of the time the player takes orders from the Underboss, unless they're the Underboss themselves.

Here's the hierarchy as follows:
