Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction (Images/Videos Preferred):
The Patel Family brings a low-violence, family oriented, and cultural based crime RP. You can expect our faction to provide the best curry and Slurpee from 7/12 to bring TRUE diversity to MafiaRP. We are legitimate sales people and are very conservative.

Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): We will offer "Curry Sundays" and have special discounts on our cultural food. Our 7/12 will act as a community center like QuikTrip rather than just a shop. We’ll run small activities like tabs and IOUs, part-time jobs, and weekly specials to create interaction with our beloved NYC. A key feature is the late night snack stop, where after midnight the store becomes a quiet, safe RP space for players to socialize over slurpees and snacks which can build strong relationships and storylines without the need for crime and violence.

Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images): The Patel family arrived in New York quietly in the early 1980s as refugees after the India's prime minister Indira Gandhi's death, part of a wave of Gujarati immigrants chasing freedom rather than power. While the other big factions fought for big parts of territory in New York City, the Patels focused on building their entrepreneurship in supply chains, favors, and ultimate credibility with their peers.

Over time, people began to rely on the Patels, not out of fear, but the feeling of trust and necessity. Loans/favors were given when banks refused. Jobs appeared when no one else would hire. Problems were solved prudently and the family learned that their way of power doesn't come from crime/violence, but from the dependency of the people.

Today, the Patels present themselves as highly accredited business owners embedded heavily in the community. Behind closed doors, they operate through trades, obligations, and balanced relationships with other families. Everyone owes something and the Patels never forget. But they are patient, Very patient. 

We are humble people who care a lot about our people. Therefore, we will offer customary signing bonus to ensure all of our family is well-taken care of. We will also make sure to give out free food to the community and those who need it and serve as a charity. We will also ensure to practice our primary faith, Hinduism, after any conflict. As well as praising our Lord Krishna after any victory. We really want to focus being community oriented rather than having an individualistic mindset.

As Patels, we believe in brotherhood and will die for any one of our trusted members. We believe in true authenticity and building trust with one another. Therefore, if you betray our trust we will not be as patient and will not take this lightly.

Due to us believing in family principles we invite everyone with open arms and offer free curry, free deodorant, and other conveniences. We have our "Curry Sunday" which is our time to give back to the community and help each other.

Our motto "Debts are remembered longer than insults"

This is definitely something a bit more unique and would add a good change in the servers core loop

[TonyAnello]

The Patel Family will be highly significant because they know that the real power of roleplay comes from developing trust, spending time roleplaying, and being a part of the roleplaying community rather than from forced participation. They maintain the roleplay environment by acting out cultural authenticity, legitimate occupations, and non-conflict situations Applying favors, establishing connections, or offering places like the 7/12 are additional ways to exert influence without being overly strong, in my opinion. But it doesn't mean that I would join this group, just an opinion of my own

All in all, I think this would run a lot better as a civilian faction rather than randomly adding a crime aspect to it.

PRO

- Diverse ethnicity 

 

CON

- Backstory leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of 'this happened' but not enough 'why' 

- Low playtime. 

- RP ideas are stale. Don't really see anything new in terms of RP ideas. When it boils down to it,  you plan on running a shop.

- Your whole faction idea doesn't make sense to me. You're 'low-violence'? to me that just reads like you're going to get bullied by everyone because you won't retaliate. IMO, you may be better creating this faction as a civilian faction and becoming Indian oil barons.

- It would be great to see someone successfully run 'IOU's / Loans' but in my experience it doesn't really work. What do you have in place to stop people creating new characters, rocking up and asking for 20k and then them blowing it and getting PK'd by police?

- I can honestly see this very quickly becoming a minge faction where people join to use an awful indian accent.

Hello, I truly understand your response but my faction really wants to signal and try to convert people to the idea of community and brotherhood rather than individualism. In comparison, you also said low playtime, I have enough to understand the game and I know the rules and how to operate. I said low-violence because we won't be messing with anyone just how the Popov's said their claim and also I find it quite absurd how you say just because we don't operate on killing that we won't retaliate. If you read up there I clearly state, "As Patels, we believe in brotherhood and will die for any one of our trusted members. We believe in true authenticity and building trust with one another. Therefore, if you betray our trust we will not be as patient and will not take this lightly" and in other sections too. Also, just like any faction, I will offer 10-20k for 30 minutes of security. It will operate the starting process just how any faction would. Finally, on the bullet where you said "awful indian accent," I think that claim is false because just like any other faction, there would obviously be banter and stereotypes for example, the Jews and their "penny pinching, long nose, and snotty behaviour" or also the Irish and their "a bota o wata." 

I personally don't believe any of your points are valid besides the backstory which I can argue that we are refugees from the political violence happening at the time. There shouldn't be more of a why then political asylum.

Thanks for the feedback,

Apollo

This was not me. My friend has another character who falls under the same last name Patel.

So standing around RP?

Disagree entirely. This is not enough time to understand what it requires to not only be high command, but being able to run a faction.

As someone who comments on pretty much every faction post, is a long time member of the community and has run a successful faction in the past - this is worrying that you believe my points aren't valid.

Well Fox, every faction in the server makes you do security also it is a way to see if people are not patient enough. I am not sure how much you are on but every faction requires you 30 minutes. I also have members who are significantly more experienced than me who will run as lead advisors for the faction. You're acting like this faction is not for RP yet every one of my points have connected. Aswell, I am not the only one running the faction and will have a democratic vote to see who will run as a boss/rep, this is kinda like how some countries have both a King and parliament.

I believe this would also perfectly fit how the 7/12 is open and it correlates with everything. I will promise you it will not be a minge faction otherwise the Jews might aswell be considered a minge faction when they first started aswell.

They are critiques for your application not points to an argument to get you in the server. I personally agree your RP sounds weak and doesnt offer anything different other than "Im Indian". Thats my opinion, and if others share that same first impression dont you wanna try to change that?

With all factions, you want to add a new unique reason to why you're there. I understand how society normalizes the idea of minging when it comes to the Indian accent but I ensure you that this is entirely RP and I truly believe MafiaRP deserves a Indian crime family. I care about our first impression but I am not just going to let us be a monotone faction and have no twist. I believe that our faction has a great motive and I believe despite this application not going well, someday you guys will understand why I wanted this. I know no one is taking me serious but I truly want to have fun roleplaying and I saw an oppurtunity for it so I took it (The 7/12 gas station). I respect everyone's opinion, even yours. I just don't like everyone jumping to the conlusion "Oh, its a minge faction just because people are going to make Indian accents." And even if they do..... thats entirely roleplay as long as its not annoying. I just want people to understand me but it clearly isn't going my way. But thanks for your feedback.

 

Thanks,

Then your application with forever be mediocre, at best. 

 

It's not a 'custom', you need to make your application stand out and be original and you've basically said you're not going to do anything unique so GL.

I feel this is original, just because you stand outside for 30 minutes doesn't mean we aren't unique?

You also cannot handle criticism without going on the defence.

Yeah, I was being a little bit defensive because I hate how people jump to conclusions. I actually took your feedback well and thanks.
