Ladies and Gentleman let me welcome you one and all to the first ever Best family member awards! Please Please hold the applause. Now lets get started shall we? In a moment will be a list of possible awards your possible family member can win. This i believe can be great even down the lineage of this person to say that their great great great somebody got the Hardest working award, or the most outgoing award or even the most loyal award. So its only two steps to show respect to a family member.

Heres how it works;

 1)To enter someone within your family you will write me a letter and slap it on to this bulletin here. Upon that letter you will write  who you are entering, The family name,then you will enter what award you are aiming them at. You will write at least a paragraph on this person explaining why they should win the award.

example for step 1- SINGER_ROURKE of the DETROIT CRIME REGIME im entering him as the SEXIEST MOBSTER AWARD.

                      THEN LIST WHY... and at the end your name.

 After you complete that part you will send me the money that is requried. So you know where the money is headed; Half of this money will go to the winner of that award and the other half i will get to keep. Its a friendly little gesture i believe to show someone in your family some respect. (Dont let the money hold you back from entering your essay either and honoring a family member. If that happens to be a problem just come to me and we can discuss that.)

The contest ends september 16th. That is this next thursday i believe.

Now to enter one of your family members for the following awards you will have to send a payment over to me SINGER_ROURKE of how much the award will cost.

                                  Awards:

THE HARDEST WORKER AWARD-----To enter someone for this award the payment is $150,000

THE MOST OUTGOING AWARD-----To enter someone for this award the payment is $100,000

THE MOST LOYALTY SHOWN AWARD--To Enter someone for this award the payment is $100,000

THE SEXIEST MOBSTER AWARD-----TO Enter someone for this award the payment is $500,000

(note:The sexiest mobster award is based on their SUIT)

These essays that are submitted will be judged on grammar, Truth, and the most heartfelt.

Please refrain from Statistics for they wont help you out at all.

Please if you have the ability to write more then one paragraph do so, it only increases your chances.

Finally any and all questions i would ask that you would mail them to me SINGER_ROURKE.

Goodluck to you and your family and God bless,

SINGER_ROURKE

How about the 'Mobster with the mostly wildly opportunistic money raiser that is likely to fail miserably' award?

I think a few more awards may be needed, but I love this idea. Also I would like to put myself forward for Sexiest Mobster.

Prophet my good man I think that would be great. I thought i might just keept it down to a few for this first time then maybe the next time add a couple.

Mr.Branston if you want to enter me into an award like that next time i would have no problem with that.

There will be a slight change in the pay out system. 90% of the nominated monies will goto the award winners, and 10% will goto the man running the award show.

I will be nominating various individuals today myself!

I do have a problem with that, Branston do you realize how dead the streets are? Filled with papers and Furor's adventures, what is wrong with this business venture throwing it's hat at the advertisement game?

I have never understood why people don't come to the streets, but I understand a reason for it is people like you ark up and throw them back to the gutters. That's all I have to say on it, good luck SINGER (ROURKE) Prophet out...

~Prophet~

Yes, that's absolutely the reason people don't come to the streets. We cheat, embezzle, steal, rob, lie, beat. We are arsonists, drug dealers, bootleggers, killers. Yet still, we cower at the thought of a sharp tongue.

If anyone is so scared of negative attention, or of sardonic and sarcastic comments that they withold their contribution entirely then frankly I see this as no loss. Perhaps it is prejudgemental, but if someone is so wishy washy that they will stand down at the first sign of opposition, then I feel their contribution would be watered down and meaningless in the first place.

That aside, Singer has come to the streets with a venture which I do not agree with and feel does not fit with our way of life. It is in his interests to spark such a venture, just as it is my prerogative to take the opposite stance and verbally oppose it.

For you to look down on me from all the way up their on your high horse and insinuate I'm in the wrong, that I shouldn't have piped up, is nothing short of hypocritical. You talk of how dead the streets are, and then criticise me for having the audacity to spark debate.

I weep.

And the argument begins! :D

I don't think it's going to be much of an argument. How can you argue against what Branston has said? It's all pretty much bang on.

Petra overhears Branston weeping and hobbles over with her cane, and his words spark her interest. Not alot of men spark her interest, she was becoming senile, but his words...yes...they're interesting.

Branston, I must agree with what you have to say on on the fact that we're "all arsonists, drug dealers, bootleggers, killers. Yet still, we cower at the thought of a sharp tongue."

Petra coughs, her wispy white hair blowing in the wind. However, I must say that people seem to get hyped up over the glamour of doing wicked things but fail to remember what it means to be a part of a family. A family is about loyalty, respect, and there is a deep love in that. The love of family and defending the family territoryand our children, is what this thing of ours is about. Many have forgotten that, which is why many families fail.

If we only focused on killing, drug deals, and all the bad things -- we would be no more then animals. There is no honor in just that. That is not what this thing of ours is about. I commend Singer Rourke on these awards. Granted, it's a bit much for a family member, I'd usually just give an envelope of money for their work at one of our local businesses, but at the same time I rob ladies every 3 minutes so nothing makes sense here.

Theobaldos standing around the corner overhearing the conversation in hand, he waits for Petra to finish, then throws his cigarette away and addresses the gathered crowd.

First of all, Branston, I cannot agree more with your point, the lack of activity in the streets is there for a reason. People are either afraid of the rough criticism they may get or don't think they have achieved the required quality to be a good street speaker. We, as leaders, RHM and LHM, should work to change this, we should get schools to teach people proper english so they can participate in the streets more and help increase the quality off the debates and speeches to a standard we can say is good instead of putting up with medicrority. Your speech really is one of the most fluent speeches I have seen recently, Do you have some time to be a part time teacher and help some of our mobsters perform better in the streets? Would you want to?

However, I must say that people seem to get hyped up over the glamour of doing wicked things but fail to remember what it means to be a part of a family. A family is about loyalty, respect, and there is a deep love in that. The love of family and defending the family territoryand our children, is what this thing of ours is about. Many have forgotten that, which is why many families fail.

I beg your pardon ma'am, but in this thing of ours, There's no love. There is only loyalty and respect. You work for a family today but your leader might die tomorrow. Do you join another family? does your loyalty then transfer over to your new family? No it doesn't. You are correct on that point. I can safely say that not many people have loved their leaders. They are usually heartless bastards who make choice choices. It's their jobs. They earn your respect and loyalty but love never comes into it in my opinion.

Dear friends

SINGER_ROURKE stops and looks around.

These are the awards. Now if you have a problem with my awards that im giving out that is completely fine with me. If you want to say im an idiot for speaking of such nonsense and i should be a legit mobster who talks of death and no love, Well i guess that is another thing. I think some of us have an idea of what mob life should be like or what we want it to be. The fact is dear friends it is not at all what your dreams contain.

To say this thing of ours contains no love, well you are at least speaking for yourself so thats fine. If you want to ask me if it contains love then i would say absolutely. And Mr. Branston i know you are a well respected member in Godfather TheDeans crew but i dont know why you would come and bring negativity to my awards. Its not a place for a debate thats not what i intended. What i did intend was for families to get together and promote some of their men into the spotlight. Have i offended you? I would hope not and i apologize to you if i have. So please ladies and gentleman if we wish to carry on any sort of talk about me and my awards and how its not mafia enough or how im doing something wrong or how im the worst guy ever then lets do it down the street in a back alley. If we want to speak on my attractiveness then i guess we can continue to do that here.

By the way petra i like the cane you have there. Its a nice one.

SINGER_ROURKE stands out infront of the crowd again.

Ok now let me just clarify once more ninety percent of the money you send in for the person to win the award will go straight to the award winner. So if ten people send an essay for the same award then the winner of that award will get ninety percent of the money sent in. I hope this makes sense. I will take ten percent of the money sent in from each individual.  Alright feel free to begin posting your essays.

Or you could wait another two months for the Annual Swine Awards, which are both free AND quality entertainment.  This year will be especially exciting, given the number of asshats and fucktards we have to choose from during the past 10 months.

I do love me some Swine Awards.

*Francie skips along the sidewalk and down the street.*

 SINGER_ROURKE, I think what you are doing here sounds like alot of fun.  I do have one thing to say about the negativity.  Although I am not afraid to speak in the streets, I have avoided it in the past because of the criticism others have received.  To me, it seemed like most of the time it wasn't worth the effort.  I would think that many others may feel this way as well.

*Francie continues on her way daydreaming about the sexy mobsters in her family.*

Bamboo walks over to the crowd hearing about the event chewing on his twig

This sounds interesting, I would love to enter my crew leader for "The Most Sexiest Mobster Award" but I'm lacking funding for such. I say give me a couple days and if this is still up and around I will put her name up for this award.

Bamboo tosses his twig on the ground and walks away going about his business

Bamboo i would love to have you submit your crewleader. Infact all you need to do is write the essay and ill loan you the money for it. When you get it back you can pay me back alright. I hope that works well for you.

Francie Thankyou for taking the time to stop by. Skip safely now.

FakemanCP that sounds like quite a fun event. The problem with that is it sounds somewhat offensive now i iknow i rob people and do other things but criticizing a person just isnt my style. I would have to decline on your invitation. Thanks though.

SINGER, I let me think about it and I will get back with you on that one.
