Aliases are cool, but that would require a new forum, and you have to know that there are drawbacks to have 'pseudonames'. Making it personal means that we may have vendetta's and such (although i've taken great pains to ensure this won't happen). However, in an anonymous mafia, we get a lot of false-claiming, and everyone being timid, forcing all the actions to be behind the scenes where this makes politics of the thread more the focal point, or at least in equilibrium with all the back dealings.
