When you log in to the round for the first time it's best to try to find yourself a decent family. Find the boss or consigliere in the family you want to join and ask them if he/she wants to send you and invite because you would like to join them.
If you received and invite from a family you can accept this by clicking on the " mailbox " link which can be found right from the Main Page link. Once in your mailbox you can click on the link " invites ". There you will find the invite to the family, click on the link, that will lead you to the family that send the invite. Click on the " you can join here " text, once clicked your in.
Once you're in the family you can first start by reading the business board for any important messages.
::: Family Options
::: Family Board
::: Business Board
::: Family Chat
::: Family Ranks
Click on the link to read the messages that are written there, most of the messages are posted by the boss or consigliere, as they should be the only one posting anything on there, if you want to talk about the weather or what ever post on the family board. Normally family boards are full of smack talk, thats why we have the business board so important messages like who your allies or naps are dont get lost.
You can leave a family by clicking on the Family Options link. but watch out, once you left there's a chance that your former boss doesn't let you back in again, or that he sends someone to zero you.
