Indubitably grabs an old moonshine crate and drags into the street, stepping up onto it, he clears his throat and speaks...

Good day ladies, gentlemen, and HenriDucard. Becoming Made is usually a behind closed doors thing, sometimes with a ceremony, sometimes without. Your button is your *in*. Due to recent events, the good Godfather Chairman Disorder has required one seeking his or her button to bring with them vouchers from two others willing to risk their lives, in the case that said button man may have some sort of mental issue, will to die, or is just plain retarded.

Normally, these vouchers are required to come from within one's Family, District, or City. Mine isn't quite a normal situation, but, unfortunately, I am not quite at liberty to discuss this situation quite yet. If those with the power to do so wish, they will.

So, some of you who know me, who know my bloodline,  know me to be quite vocal about things, some think I'm an idiot, some applaud my efforts. I figured that seeing as I've only been in Vegas a short time, it wasn't prudent to ask a small amount of people the question I would like to ask today. So I am asking this of the community as a whole.

Are there two of you, in this whole land of ours, that are willing to risk your lives that I am not a retard? That I would not use my button for ill gains. That I would respect the code of this thing of ours. Are there two men or woman that would put up their lives for me becoming a Made Man? That trust in me, my father before me, and his father before him?

Indubitably steps off his perch, grabs a seat, and bemusedly waits to hear from friends, foes, naysayers, and haters.

Damn. Guess I overestimated my trustworthiness. Well, thanks for listening. Have a great day.

"Damn. Guess I overestimated my trustworthiness."

You're a nobody, remember? 

Thank you Captain Obvious. If I were a somebody, why would I come out to the streets seeking vouchers from folks who vaguely know of my line? I bid you well wishes for your short time on our shores.

If I had to guess? attention seeking.

Why thank you, I hope you receive the recognition you desire.

In order to receive said vouchers, I would no doubt seek some sort of attention brought to such, no?

Or, perhaps, I should only come to the streets to bitch about how awful things are, like your lot? Because that's not seeking attention in any way whatsoever, right?

Coming up here to speak on my 'attention seeking' was not an attempt at attention yourself?

I mean, if you've the balls to attempt an insult, I suggest one that doesn't make you look like an ass as well. Maybe that's just my line of thinking. Could be wrong. It's happened before.

Haha its funny watching you get flustered when someone has the audacity to call you on your bullshit.

You talk a big game but fact of the matter is neither myself nor my 'lot' attempt to make ourselves something we aren't. We are not hiding in anyone else's shadow, nor are we kissing the arses of our 'leaders'. We don't come out to the streets begging for others to vouch for us (because our own family won't do it) so that we can be someone else's pawn under a shoddy system that has been implemented to restrict the progress of others.

I whole heartedly admit that I for one am attention seeking. I seek to get the attention of all my brothers and sisters who have been unacceptably fucked over by our current regime. The fact that you picked up on it and sought to use it against me is pretty invalid though especially considering I have never denied it. 

Flustered? Perhaps that is the goal you intended, unfortunately, it is not what has been attained.

If you'd be so kind, could you inform us all as to who's shadow I may be hiding behind? While you're at it, I'd love to know who's ass I might be kissing, I mean, if it's some good ass, I'd better prepare myself, wouldn't want to fuck that up!

As far as I can tell, these are just more assumptions from someone who thinks they know something, yet has no clue what they are talking about, yet again. I am what I am, that I am not, I shall never be. Perhaps you know that line, seeing as you've used the name it was first tattooed on.

I've been in my family a whole 10 days? While I did expect at least one of them to stand up, I obviously misplaced my expectations. But begging is a bit of a stretch. If you truly had any clue whatsoever, you would know why this speech happened in the first place. But, alas, I'll leave you to your assumptions.

In closing, I'd really love to know how it is you and your ilk have been 'fucked over' by this regime. Because you're not on top calling the shots? Because you aren't the one killing whoever it is you deem a threat? Oh, but you want to..as you deem Disorder and his regime a threat to your mere existence yes? But you can't, and this makes you cry in your pillow at night. So you'll continue to seek your attention, continue to die often, and maybe, just maybe, one of you will eventually get lucky.

You know, something just came to me...if Disorder and his regime were such horrible creatures, why did you allow them to reach the position they are in in the first place? Your blood could have stopped it before it began, no? But, you didn't. So now you'll all grace us with your bitching about how terrible everything is, taking random shots that usually miss, and never ending assumptions about how you think things are, and how you think they should be.

Good luck in your endeavors.

*The_Doctor swaggers by a conversation in the streets when he recalls an incident from the past*

Whilst I won't argue that Godfather Disorder has instituted this measure of protection it is definitely worth remembering that this was an idea put forth by the Gods over a decade ago to solve this exact situation. So if you have issues with the system probably best to aim your head at the sky and yell at the gods.

*Hops back into the Tardis and disappears into the echoes of space*

You mad? Yeah you mad...

Your reply is full of hypocritical contradictions as per usual, in fact I don't know why I expected anything more. I'd rather not get drawn into an argument with a blunt object who had to come out to the streets to request for "someone? anyone? PLEASE!!!" to vouch for him just to gain one whole rank rather than just put in effort and rely on his own capabilities to impress his leaders so instead I'll just quote some of your masterpieces as an answer to your "I'd love to know who's ass I might be kissing" question.

Dan, our lines have never had contact, save for a few passing words in the streets, but congratulations, and a raised bottle to your success.

A bit dumbfounded by the attention shown from his Godfather Chairman, Indubitably returns the firm handshake.

I appreciate the nod Godfather. Really it's just common sense. Anyone with a pair of eyes and ears would have known the work this man has put in earned him a spiffy bold suit. It is also simple to see that those disrespecting this fellow quickly end up swimming with weights.

It's perfectly okay to disagree with the happenings that go on in our daily grind, but there is the adult way to approach it, and then there is what we've seen today, grudge holding youngsters spouting nonsense, and eventually killing themselves or being shot.

Indubitably shrugs.

To each their own. Good day gentlemen, if you'll excuse me, I hear a bottle of rum calling my name, and perhaps the sound of a working girl needing my assistance.

If I'm Curtis, and you are not in one of my families I consider non threatening, and I find out you have a cap killer, or close to a cap killer, you're dead. Simple. Everyone complains that he is this tyrant that kills without cause...I feel that he doesn't kill enough. From my perspective, he should have cleansed CH a month ago for the happenings that went down there. But, I'm not him, he truly is not this big old mean guy that kills just because he can. He does so to stay on top, and to keep his family on top, and his decision making is just that...his.

I keep hearing murmurs 'Dang bruh, why you on his dick'... I've died by his hand just as much as anybody else, I don't know the guy, have never spoken to the man, but, I respect the way he does business, and I'm certain before his reign is over, I'll die a few more times for absolutely no other reason than I am loyal to my family, and I just didn't happen to be in one on the winning side.

Should that make me hate him? Should I despise a guy for working his ass off, surrounding himself with loyal soldiers that keep him alive? Fuck no, that's ludicrous. He plays the game the way he wants to play it. Why the hell should he change the way he plays because some of ya'll want to act like whiny little babies? Change the way YOU play, adapt, learn new strategies, whatever, but don't blame whoever is on top because you didn't make it to where they are.

 

Nah, this is an outstanding effort Larry. When I first came to MR it was ALL about the RP, and to me, it has gotten very far from it's roots. I think this will bring back a huge aspect of this game that has been missing for me, and hopefully a lot of the other RPers that are still around. Not to mention help players interact a bit more than the occasional OC and slim to none business threads we have now.

Superbly thought out and pretty simple to participate in. I'm not sure if OOC threads are sticky'able, but if so, this needs to stay on top.

Great idea. 

As enjoyable as it is to find historic examples of your ignorance, all you have to really do is look at the common trend of what you say and where you say it to realise that you're trying your hardest to gain sympathy from anyone willing to pay attention in an attempt to gain favor and prevent your inevitable death.

Good luck in your endevours.

You're delusional. Just because you make something up in your vacant little head, does not make it so. Nothing you stated has has any backing besides what you perceive. Because I don't back your ill fated attempt to hate this regime I'm an ass kisser? Go back to school kiddo, learn the difference between illusion and reality.

For someone usually has well thought out responses full of quality, I have to say I'm rather disappointed with this latest effort of yours.

Spoken like a true pawn though.

To quote the infamous Mouseycop:

"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy."

Not required? Aw darn, I was just about to offer.
