I will echo nothing really has changed, as the same people will be moved into positions of power as were in the past, we will have the same recycling of leaders with the same eventual end and people will say wow i never saw that coming and then moan about the leadership in general.

Well is the problem, you leave the remnants of a regime it is not going to be long til is back in full force.   After the allegations Tobias shot Bunny for Vile, just to get back at city hall i was surprised when city halls martial law never took more people down.

BestBuy, I would wager you hit the nail on the head. The taxpaying members of our "society" will move elsewhere, discontinue this way of life, or just avoid spending anything. I don't see how our spiraling economy can possibly withstand another kick to the head of it's drowning lower class generation after generation.

Honestly - every time someone new takes the helm there will be little skirmishes like this. It's always been our way of life. And one day they'll make moves on each other. It's a great merry-go-round...I actually kinda enjoy it (though being on the winning side would have helped on this occasion). What this "regime" has the potential to do is not systematically kill every member of their own city that isn't them. That's where the line is drawn. My son will have to see where it goes though - tonight I go down with my ship.

And with that LouisJames hopped onto the side of a car with his tommy gun blazing as the driver sped as fast as possible into a gang of out-of-town hoodlums

LouisJames but the history shows exactly that. This Regime is just an extended arm of the same Regime we're still feeling the wake of. Their exact motive is to remove anyone who achieves any type of power that might threaten their own. Unless they pal around on W.A. Avenue, they're in the crosshairs. I know because my lineage has been on both sides of it.

There's really no complaints here as all it means is that they've done exactly what many want to achieve, just that I don't think it bodes well for the health of these shores- and that is a damn shame.

People are going to say the new regime is like the old regime this early because they don't look or ask for any details they just want to blame people for the sake of blaming people, while trying to make themselves look completely innocent.

And it's always going to happen when a war starts because of course one side is totally completely infallible. East_Side_Taco says sarcastically

But... A few of them are ACTUALLY from the old regime East_Side_Tacos. Leaders and former hands and former members that were all close with those that are no longer with us. Kharon, Tobias, JoeKing to name three. So, please, explain to us how this is NOT a carryover from a regime that not only drove bloodlines en mass from these shores, but had a strong impact on City Hall's coffers in a negative manner.

She settles in and files her nails.

Oh don't worry, we understand if you talk circles to keep yourself alive. It's what a lot of you boldies are going to have to do for the coming months. Anything to stay alive, even if it means doing and saying things you don't like. Choking back the arguments as you are ordered to purge your own based on accusations with no backing. It's all good, we understand, and soon you will too.

Engage... Nifl and Company's chokehold on society. Except for Apocalypse, that smooth talker's exactly where he deserves to be. 

This regime IS the old regime. They are all puppets, still carrying out orders from god king First, fighting his war against Squishy.

Kharon has always followed, even when leading. She has never been one to make her own decisions or go her own way. Puppet.

Tobias is an idiot, incapable of coherent thought. They've placed JTG at his side but he keeps dying - lol. He's just a puppet continuing their work.

JoeKing might be the only one of the three with half a brain. Sadly, he is included in their gang because of his large offshore accounts. Niflheim's bank, if you will.

Nothing will change until Niflheim are given the 303 treatment. Bottom line.

I appreciate the compliment in calling my father a smooth talker.  Appreciate it immensely.

Please. I'm listening. Explain to me how a city of a relatively young Don, a Made Man and a Capo were not completely innocent- aside from the obvious association with their relatives. I'm sure there are roughly 100 people's families that would love to hear your all-knowing reasoning.

Phoebe waits in anticipation.
