You see a man speaking with known Godfather, Roman. He shakes his hand and begins to walk towards the crowd, he stops next to his friend and right hand man Marcus


Hello ladies and gents, thank you for meeting us here today.

shaking the keys in his left hand

I've been given the honor today from Godfather Roman to set up in the fine city of Chicago. Most of you here more the likely know my family line.

I plan on serving my Godfather and city proudly without question, which appears to be a very rare thing these days.

I have always been a fair man, and plan to keep the same ethics and morals that have gotten my family line the respect and reputation they carry today.

Again, thank you all for coming out today, but my Right hand man and i must get back to business.

Walking away from the crowd he tosses the keys to Marcus

Open her up for business.

Congratulations Jonnie on your great uprise as CL in Chicago. On behalf of The Chicago Strong family, we encourage you to make your family and the City of Chicago proud and we wish you the best of luck;)

Awh. Failfamily :(

Linux I understand that you must have been in one of the family's that got demloished by chicago and we all feel your pain, but please fuck off , yeah, thanks.

The families that got demolished by Chicago? I suggest you do a little bit more homework before making such ridiculous assumptions. Especially since in no way is it possible that I was in a family in Chicago, being new to these shores and all. Sad day for the big bad family leader. 

"Failfamily" is a bit harsh for someone who directly aided in helping to dismantle the awful leaders of New Orleans, Vidi, and the other guy. I mean, I'm not sure what definition of Failfamily you're using, but whatever it is we must be doing something right. After another heroic survival by the Roman Empire I'm sure everyone would like to be a Failfamily if that is the criteria we're using to judge the term by. Because being a Successfamily is being amongst the idiotic crews that attacked us this weekend, I can't see there being many volunteers.

Because if being a Successfamily*.. Sorry, having to crush people yesterday has played tricks on my speech.

Ohhh. So, you've decided to name yourself after the Roman Empire, eh? How fun. The definition I am using refers to the leader in question. Seeing as his entire family history is strewn with examples of their bad leadership. You know, the whole "Lets betray everyone and try to take over the world" kinda thing. Congratulations on choosing a failure for a leader, Roman. I am sure the Roman Empire will strive.

You got a lot of nerve to stand up here and criticize a leader when you have never even walked these streets. Get a clue before you open your mouth. You are what we here call a "noob" and they usually shut up and listen and hopefully learn a thing or two.

On another note, congratulations Jonnie. Like your ancestor before you, you will have to prove yourself in the midst of the fire again. I wish you the best of luck.

Oh, do they? If the past proves anything, intelligence is far more important than experience. You need not know about what you are doing if you have the intelligence to figure it out as you go. So, I will happily be a "noob".

Intelligence would say that a person of your rank and stature would keep its mouth shut. You should really start eating some fish, I hear it's good for the brain. Hopefully you get some contaminated fish from the Hudson and contract polio and die.

"examples of their bad leadership. You know, the whole "Lets betray everyone and try to take over the world"

Please do give the fine people of an example when that happen?

Am I supposed to fear Mr. Big bad and scary over there? Since I am the "noob", perhaps you should explain to me what my reaction should be to some random guy making a speech about setting up a business in a city should be.

Oh, perhaps when your great great grandfather or so attempted to trick Godfather Deimne into attacking Godmother Aurora, I believe it was? Your great great grandfather used false reasons for the attack, then attempted to pull the other city leaders into his fight, because he knew he was too weak to do it alone. 

Linux, I assure you that you will die the second you turn gangster boy. The amount of disrespect strewn about in this thread is one of the biggest jokes I've seen in many moons.

Talking shit about Reese's family leadership? His bloodline and mine have been intertwined for nigh on 20 generations, where his great grandfather led Los Angeles with mine as his underboss. You call that fail? Get real kid, and please... shut the fuck up.

Oh yes, the descendant of Gaius, no? I remember quite clearly, your great grandfather came out in the streets weeping the night of the death of Premier, something close to a little baby, honestly. You being in the position you are in is no surprise to me either, however, I do not like it. It's alright though, Jonnie_Reese's stupidity will get him killed soon enough, along with yourself. 

As for dying the moment I hit gangster, that is alright with me. I have spoke my mind and that is all that is important.

Why don't you do something then Linux? Standing here talking shit does nothing but makes you look like a bafoon. Whereas, a wise individual would build himself up and exact revenge on those he hated. Mob up Boy

As for crying... aye, my ancestor cried over the loss of his Godfather. And I'm damn proud of it.

Firstly, did you once hear me utter "hate"? I do not believe so. Secondly, it is not worth "mobbing up". For as soon as he is dead, his descendant will follow in his footsteps. Thus, killing him is a waste of time.

Hearing all the screaming coming from a part of the city, Eliaha can't help but lend an ear. What she hears makes her raise an eyebrow.

LinuxPanda, when you say "Seeing as his entire family history is strewn with examples of their bad leadership. You know, the whole "Lets betray everyone and try to take over the world" kinda thing.", it should refer to something different I suppose, as Jonnie_Reese's ancestor may have betrayed and/or lured his friends, but it doesn't make him a 'bad leader'. Being himself a Godfather at that time pretty much proves that he was a good leader on the contrary.

And if you call him a traitor, well it surely depends on the point of view. As George III once said: "A traitor is everybody who does not agree with me."

From a dark and cold corner of the street Death watches with wry amusement the inane ramblings of a lowly Thug against a tidlewave of public opinion. He thinks about moving from his position and engaging in the debate, but the sun is warm and bright, and the alley is cold and dank, just how he likes it.

A bum shambles from a nearby pile of detritus, his hand extended looking money for his next fix of cheap alcohol. Almost instinctively Judge Death reaches into the mans chest and stops his heart, the bum sliding to the ground with a look of horror on his face.

The sssentence isss Death!

Death looks back at Jonnie Reese and tries to think of a suitable present to send him, better not be a fruit basket though... Colin died shortly after he sent his last fruit basket. Death glides back into the recesses of the dark alley and makes his way to the local pet store.
