Hear, hear Asylum. Lets all take a minute and remember those mafioso who fought hard in defense of their families only to be sold out by the ones they defended. No one wants to offer a real reason because it is truly embarrassing for them. Imagine being so fearful for your own life that you would shoot your own family to spare it?

Ok calm down six guns, every side has to have a loser.

Report Post Tip

Haha ok. If you think about it, everyone came out a loser in this war. Both sides took some shots, took some losses, and then decided they'd had enough. Nothing really accomplished...well we did find out that Colin is bulletproof...

Anyways, just thought I'd point out that it is a sad day when a CL turns his gun on his own crew to save his bacon...yes I'm talking about delicious bacon again.

Roman didn't lose, TheDean didn't lose, Colin didn't lose, Evanagelle didn't lose. Winners win, losers lose.

Report Post Tip

Haha I must have forgotten it was platitude week around here.

My original intent was just to point out that a lot of good people died at the hands of their own CL's...and for no real discernable reason other than self-preservation for those CL's

In the end, isn't that a members job, to perserve the life of their leader?

Gun = BANG BANG can be heard from a good distance.



Bat = Grab your target, tie him up, gag him.



Close your eyes and dream,

You are playing for the New York Yankees, it is the last game of the world series. Now we are at the bottom of the ninth, all bases are full, you are 3 runs down, 2 strikes down. This is your one chance for sporting immortality.

Open your eyes, focus on the back of the neck, that is the sweet spot. Roll of the shoulders a stretch of the arms, this here bat has become an extension of your body. Keep your focus on that spot that is where the ball will be, your entrance to Baseball folklore all you have to do is hit it over the fence, or better still out the park. Last focus and then you are ready, legs shoulder width apart slightly bent, draw the power from a strong base, bat back and let it all fly out.

Using Colin power I am fairly sure either that neck is breaking or the head is coming off.



Wash the bat with bleach, wander back into the sports bar and put it back up on the wall.


As they say "The Job is a good 'un"

Ultimately TheDean and I both know this is largely filler and bullshit. All it boiled down to was TheDean's fear that he could be killed and Gwarble was the only person capable of doing that. I would preferred him to have just come out and said that, but I guess that isn't his style.

Either way, Gwarble did his fair share of filling in the blanks after a war as it is very easy to do. You can make a fairly reasonable argument for removing anyone. That is how it all works. TheDean omitted the parts where one of his own members tried to frame Gwarble for a wack attempt, which was let slide, where TheDean never asked for any compensation and told Gwarble the matter was "forgotten" regarding his bodyguards, those wars that Gwarble ran which actually got TheDean to the point where he is now, the fact that Gwarble and TheDean discussed Caesar whom he knew full well had been reprimanded for his idiotic outburst and where Gwarble came to his aid when he was almost certainly going to die to Chicago and New Orleans.

One side of the story always makes for better reading.

However, what is done is done. Despite the largely disrespectful summation TheDean has made here for reasons only known to himself, I'm sure Gwarble would have looked forward to seeing what his former ally would do with this opportunity. Perhaps he should have listened to those who warned him of TheDean's paranoia more closely or suspected DonPardo was a lying fleabag. It also seems Gwarble was the only one who meant what he said when he said he wanted to take a backseat and intended to retire when Colin was ready to tackle the Godfather.

The bottom line is that no matter how skilled you are, you can't predict everything. Sometimes you have to give opportunities and hope those you give them to operate at an equal level to you and understand the signficance of their actions. Sadly for Gwarble, that proved not to be the case.

One last thing, you can't fight fate.

A two cents gangster seat together with great men, happy to survive the last events. He listened with attention all the words spend here today. But one think in the mind a Thank to the GodFather Dean for share the reasons of him actions.

Address facts and not accusations seem to me all is here about. Just a thought of a two cents gangster.

Sure, but it's not just a one way street Jonnie. We work hard and pay tribute to these leaders so that they keep us safe as well.

I am here to just say thanks Dean. Up until now I didn't know why the war was fought. You tell me, so I say thank you.

Boner sits on the corner scratching his... leg, and lights up a smoke, trying not to laugh too hard at the recent shenanigans. He shakes his head and makes sure that he takes his sweat ass time getting into the center of the crowd. Wondering which person to talk to first, he decides to walk up to Jonnie_Reese and shake his hand.

You and your line have been friends of mine for a long time now, closing in on two and a half wonderful years. Never before have I heard you talk about using a baseball bat as a preferred weapon. However, I can see the positives and negatives of both sides of this particular argument. Personally, it would depend on the target for me. If it was some no-named bum wasting our time sleeping on these streets, I'd simply shoot him. If it was someone who had personally done the family a disservice on the other hand, I'd be in complete agreeance with you that sending a message via baseball beat down would be better in the scenario.

Boner flicks his cigarette to the ground and hands Johnny a cigar. Turning his attention to the rest of the crowd, he speaks openly about the rest of the conversation.

Alright, so the basic gist of what I'm getting is... The side that started the war and came out mainly alive, including shipping one of their own off to become GodMother has told one side of the story. The kin of the fallen side has come out with another story, with some slight varieties. Wait... Wait a second. There are TWO sides to the story? Holy jumping jesus who would've ever guessed?! Not me, for sure. Every war that's ever happened within this thing of ours has had two sides, and one side always sounds better. It's really up to the individual to decide which *really* happened. Personally, if I was ever in the position to war somebody, and I came out ahead, I wouldn't even bother to try and please you with the details. What goes on in the family, STAYS in the family. Now, I'm not saying that those who come out and tell their side(ie; TheDean, Grin,) aren't keeping it within the family, because I'm sure there's more that went on other than this. They're keeping the peace, and pleasing the public, which occasionally is necessary.

Boner clears his throat and turns on the little no named gangsters and goombas of the crowd talking about "one way streets."

You really might think about joining a new profession, buck, if you truly believe it's not a one way street. We make money for our leaders, we serve our leaders, and we die for our leaders. The whole point of our lives is to serve and protect those above us. Sure, there might be some leeway once you're a button man, but until then your life isn't worth jack shit. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to please you, or they're full of shit. Now go ahead, take a look at my suit, I'm not yet a button man. I know what my boundaries are, and what my life is worth to those whom I serve. You on the other hand have yet to master this concept. I can only hope that you don't strikeout in this thing of ours.

Who gives two shits about grammar. If you understand the point then what's it matter, but congratulations on being a complete and total fuck face KarmaKarmaChameleon.

Hell the point you made about my grammar just points to another flaw in the game. When most newer members or those that suck at forums speak in the streets they get knit picked to no end. It's quite fucking pathetic that people still do this especially those that know how many different nationalities play this game.

Fuck everytime I talk to Vash(TheDean) on the phone I feel like I'm going to implode from trying to understand him at times.

Gives two thumbs up.

What does that have to do with any of the events regarding this war? Who is Vash and why are you referencing him like he's TheDean?
