OOC

Becoming a worker's union has been, in short, total lamesauce boring. Worst change to a persistent storyline I've made. Not anyone's fault; there was just little interest for it.

SooOOooOOOOooOOoo I'll be reactivating the meowfia, since that was what people were intrested in.

The basics

Houssam operates a small but growing criminal enterprise. It revolves mainly around white collar crimes, but primarily: information. Used in blackmail, bribes, or general espionage... It's fun to turn the general station gossip and drama into weapons in of themselves.

The important rules

- unless you are antag pls don't murder in canon rounds, pls pls. Not without like, so much rp. just so much.

- If you join, there's a sense of loyalty you have to have. Everyone was a good sport about this last time, so I'll continue to trust that "lol betrayal" won't just up and happen out of the blue. It can still be fun, but c'mon, rp it out. "Be a good sport" is the big thing here.

The sexy benefits of being in Jawdat employment

- You get to use the pun "Meowfia"

- Learn the art of the twerk.

- You get to quote The Godfather while breakin' knees with plasteel bats.

The actual benefits

- Houssam has an (up to) 50,000 credit insurance policy for his employees in such things. It covers kidnapping, medical bills, legal fees, and "operational costs". This is to do quite a few things, to give loyalty, give antags an interesting dynamic... We'll see where it goes.

- Connections. Even though everything's shifted away, there's still favours and other such things that can be called in.

- Proper corruption rp, where it's fun. We've seen a demand for this and a backlash against general psychotics and [security], so this could be a breakthrough.

- Antag opportunities! While it's very low-key during normal rounds, the fact in itself that this all exists gives antags all sorts of fun ways to react/involve themselves in it. Non-antags too! I remember the last time I was big with this, the IA department had a field day.

If you're interested in joining, here's an application I thought would address all the things I'd need to know about a character.
