I think once you hit 100 a made-up map should be unlocked. An Octagon of sorts. It wouldn't implement the gps at all but the maps and everything else would obviously still be same and use gps.
So when you become a Godfather, a separate button pops up on the home screen. "Godfather Land"(obviously not); click on it to enter the octagon. Only godfathers, you can put turf anywhere but you have a turf limit of 1, the rest you gotta cap.
This would be really fun(maybe not for me cause my mob size or lack thereof), give incentive to level up to those who lack the incentive, and add another dimension of gameplay without altering the game.

If it doesn't use gps, how would it organize where you place turfs?

It doesn't use gps, because it is a fictional map. The satellites have a hard time finding you in a fake world.

There are several algorithms the devs could use to "remember" where the Godfathers place a turf in the fake world

I like it.. If we don't get our plane tickets this would be something to consider.

What would be the point? Also I don't see how the concept of a fictional world would fit in a mob game

What would the point of a fictional map be in a fictional mob game?

It wouldn't be a map with rivers and trees. It would just be empty space.

The point would be that it would be fun, it would provide an incentive to level up and mob up which would give the Devs money,it would allow any USA vs Europe battles to transpire- solving any "bridge" to Europe or "plane ticket" ideas, it would give a reason for more people to stay and for longer, it would be like a board room full of the oldest mobsters from around the world-you can't get in until you're a GF. Turfs in this board room could generate loot/hour instead of money.

Similar meetings happen between bosses from different parts of the world, in the real world. The key being just the bosses take part.

Done right and it would be just as realistic as eating a cannoli so you can crack 20 more bank safes,

Good idea.

Don't like it... it takes months to get to 100... trust me, there would be very few people in there. BTW, UK is outmatched in this. US has more godfathers, and most of them have more mob. Not very ideal.

You're right, it does take months to get to godfather but, a. This means it should be rewarded more and b. It would take less time if there was more motivation to get there.

As for the US being better than the UK, a. It is okay, no need to get your panties in a bunch b. It could be US vs the world or US+UK vs the world or anything, because there won't be any official rules on who you can attack or who can attack you.

So basically, you become a Godfather (I'm new, but I'm thinking no more level ups and any new territory capacity has to be paid for) and you get a GT (godfather turf) to place on the map (for an amazing price, probably requiring loot of some kind) pretty much where you choose, hence the lack of gps. Only Godfathers can compete (seperate map needed, that could be a problem, wait - not really) and you can only make one if you don't have any, but you can capture as many as you like. Brings a sort of stargatewars ascendancy mechanic to the game.
I like it, but I think other players should see them, and be able to attack them for loot, no capture.

Anyone have a guess as to how many godfathers there are currently? My guess is 150

Godfather land?

How about political power? And give it a real purpose.. Somthing that doesn't crush the little guy.

You would have a turf limit of 1. So you could build one anywhere in the godfather battle map and can cap turfs around your planted turf just like you can normally. Once you plant a turf you can't plant anymore UNLESS you get capped down to 0, then in which case you would be able to plant anywhere. You would have a turf limit of 1 in the battle map, just like you have a turf limit of X for the real map.

Doesnt make sence because you could just let someone cap ur turf and make a new one and they cap it again and u make a new one etc. Leading to a godfather with 100 turfs on the island dominating all the others

Couldn't you do that now?

I add to this, once you've unlocked the godfather battle map, you've also unlocked the godfather "board room". This is a forum that is only open to godfathers.
