You really think those at the top think they'll never die and the cycle will continue? Assuming we're talking about the same results that is otherwise we should clarify as to not have this conversation skewed by miscommunication. 

CletusKasady, during the lives of your forefathers, do you ever recall a time where there were rogue attacks every week?

I can't recall if it was every week as my family journals aren't well organized  but during the time my ancestor was on their way to becoming Godfather there were very frequent rogue attacks and a ridiculous amount of hitlisting just to stop them from having the required members to support him to that esteemed role. 

a shame everyone had to be killed the way they did

I am new to these streets so my understanding is limited. This regime is all I have ever seen so I don't know if things were better before it or if it was just more of the same. Furthermore, my opinion is biased for obvious reasons. Maybe what I am saying has already been said before, I don't know. But here it is, I understand the decision to take out AdmiralAckbar. The decision to take out his hands can also be justifiable.

My contention is with the decision to wipe out the entire crew regardless of whether they were actually guilty or not. I understand it sends a strong message, but surely there are other ways that do not involve massacring goombas and wiseguys who know nothing about the crew's political scenario?

Husky my blood has not walked these shores in a very long time, as far as keeping up with the gossip on the streets on the current regime I only have journals that date back to the PwNY Express, but I do have a very long list of family journals to flip through. From what I've read, it's generally the same story. The shark in the pond bullies all the little fish. Somewhere along the way my family learned to keep out of it, and live this life for themselves, as I'd encourage every one of you to do as well.

Oddy took a drag from a blunt to calm his nerves. Oddy never did like the idea of public speaking, especially when the audience is a group of mobsters with guns. But alas, the young Vegas mafioso he addressed was but a thug learning the ropes just as he was.

As far as my understanding of this thing of ours only button men are supposed to "go down with the ship" as the saying goes. There will always be exceptions though, and I'm sure we all know about the trigger happy's that have trouble containing themselves at the sight of free target practice vis-a-vis

Vis-A-Vis investing some time and effort into a "safe" shot.

The young Dangly added, attempting to play it cool.

Im sure, like me, most people have stood and overheard the speech from Mr Disorder and then listened to one or two heckles from the crowd. Kids mainly, and a Zombie. Tiresome. The XX has to shake himself awake again.

If, somehow, you've made it here and your still actually listening then let me set the record straight. I have put hench, ridiculous, ripped, monster hours into hunting you little pricks who always pop up when I have plans. 9 times out of 10 I have to alter them or put them back. Something which earns me massive ridicule from my otherwise fantastic piece of filth.
 
If I ever shoot at something which is not conducive to the war effort its for a very good reason. Also, after the sacrifices I've made I think I earned the right to sit one out now and again. Tell me which one Mr Acca took part in rather than sat out.  (not literally, obv I wont be back here to see what you fuckers think or have to say to me)

Perhaps what Signor Oddy says is true. Alas I am but a young man full of naive hopes, so I can not help but wonder if a peaceful solution was not possible. A joint meeting of the Dons of the Families or the Godfathers of each city, while not necessary would have been the honorable thing to do. It might have allowed the defendant to present his case. Maybe the punishment could simply have been monetary or the replacement of the inner circle of the family with other existing members. 

This shoot first, ask questions later mentality, while effective, is in my humble opinion a contributing factor in the growing resentment towards the current regime that can easily be resolved. 

Perhaps my ideas are foolish, but the naivety of youth has offered me the luxury to be a foolish dreamer.

Check the xx coming out to defend himself with the usual insults and rhetoric against others now that his name was brought up... 

Why you lot feel its your right to be cunts to everyone just because youre in control is beyond me (big egos, small cocks syndrome maybe) regardless your actions are so predictable that it hurts and won't do anything positivie for yourselfs so keep it up.

I've woke up today to numerous messages from children of those killed by the rogues on both sides and let's just say to only accuse one side of being a bunch of whiney little prices is just hypocritical

Whiney little pricks*

Ive clearly not done up yet 

Also husky, sorry but your last paragraph basically sums it up.

I suppose it does. But then again, I'd rather come up with possible compromises, however unlikely they might seem, rather than sit and lament over the loss I suffered. It is easy to succumb to bitterness and anger, but that does not provide a long-term solution.

I look forward to watching your attempt to convince the current regime to play nice and not murder everyone.

That is not what I am attempting at all. I have no qualms about them murdering everyone they like, after a joint meeting of all godfathers has heard the defence of the guilty party that is. 

I know some of the other ideas like monetary punishment or purges limited to crew leadership would be a tough sell. But I don't think the regime are sadists who enjoy wiping out cities either. Compromises, should in theory be possible.

Having taken part in takedowns along side them, I wouldn't say its too much of a stretch.

the admiral had real life work to contend with i know that might come as a shock to quite alot of you clickwhoring clowns.

thats why the hands he choose did indeed help with joebananas when the boss is busy they stepped up.

housing rogues? dissy we were getting proed from vegas's finest last night <3

Just out of curiosity, how many rouges came out of Admirals crew before he was removed?
