As evident by the bodies scattered about, The Big Easy is no more. Their lives where forfitted when word reached me that they where planning my demise. Nothing was done by me, or my city to warrant our deaths, so hearing that New Orleans was moving towards taking me out, I had to react fast.

I put my citys safety before anything else. These fine ladies and gentlemen work hard to see that Detroit thrives and grows. Their lives are in my hands and I will fight tooth and nail for them. The word that New Orleans was planning to hit me put my actions into over drive.

To survive in this world, youve gotta be smart on your feet. When you're pushed, you push back harder. Knowing trouble was brewing, I contacted my dear friend TheDean and offered him a substantial amount of cash that he couldnt turn down. Money is a powerful thing, and TheDean likes his money. We agreed upon a rather massive ammount of cash and he lent me his hitters.

Ive only reacted in such a way because I knew my city was in danger. I am no war monger and Im not trying to control everything. Tonights actions where simply to save my city and the people who reside here. To the sons and daughters of New Orleans, dont come to this world angry. Understand that it was these things happen, its apart of our way of life.

ooh, action!

SINGERROURKE stands back with a picture in his hands.

I...I dont know one person who didnt lose a friend in that war. To the sons and daughters that return i just want to tell you that i am sorry for your losses. To my friends sons and daughters i will be your friend if you wish.

SINGERROURKE devestated by his loss of one of his closest friends stares into the sky and walks off.

Singer, we all including our GodFather lost friends in this which is hard sometimes but it is the way of our world. Friends don['t get held over family. I can'[t imagine what possible reasons those in New Orleans could possibly think they had to want to take out our city but I am certainly glad that word got to the city heads first and happy that New York was willing to help as quite a few of us were away on business trips. My condolences to the loved ones of those that died.

We all know is only two ways out of this business generally, and in jail your never really out of the business just on a prolonged vacation.   In any time of peace many of us are gonna be affected when we have built up new people to work with, in other families with the idea of profiting our families more.   To some we are more like politicians but we all know is no money in constantly hitting the mattresses.   Sadly this is not enough for everybody as some people enjoy the romantacism of power, revenge and war just not the end result.

We need the combined skills of both when the vendors, docks and factories don't want to pay for our union intervention to keep things running smooth and we need the people to take care of the problem people of society.  Sadly the fine blend is not in all of us as recent thoughts and prayers may have revealed.                                                                                     

It's a shame it had to come to this. RIP to all of the fallen.

There was no plot to take out rag. if there was it all fell on QTR's shoulders im willing to bet. a whole city was killed for something that could have been accomplished by just killing QTR. i dont know if you had hoped it would strenghting a certian crew in no by doing so but i doubt that will happen. i dont think any former new orleans resident plans to for anyone remaining in no or chicago. i think what ever plan was hatched has backfired.

The events that took place are by no means the ideal situation. But acting in order to prevent the destruction your city is common sense. No leader goes to war with another city on a whim. I believe that Godfather Ragnarok would have weighed his options and considered every possible solution. He did what he felt was the best option to preserve his life and the lives of those living in his city.

rag suck on my balls.

Anoxia listern to all and wonders

"When people come back here, yes they have their right to free speach, but the quote "rag suck on my balls", really shows people a lack of respect they have to everyone on the streets"

I don't know, Anoxia, it could be a term of endearment, I suppose. It does feel pretty nice, after all.

Looks on the bright side.

SINGERROURKE still saddened by the loss of some of his friends looks at mr. Raleigh

Was that not the best move? I mean to be completely honest would you have not done the same thing if a powerful city was rumored to take out all of your friends and family? Mr. Raleigh What my Godfather did will not be appreciated by the dead or their sons but it was the best move he could have made. He didnt do it to auth someone in New Orleans or to gain absolute power. That would be completely rediculous. Godfather Ragnarok made the best decision he could for his family. He lost close friends as have i watching them all die. Now mr. Raleigh i have shown you no disrespect so i ask for all your rude antics to please stop. There are afterall Childeren in these streets.

SINGERROURKE hands a child a lollypop. Because SINGERROURKE is a nice guy who does things like that.

the snake set up in new orleans right now set up the other families so he could get authed. he knew very well that he was inept as a leader and had no hope at making gf with the other crews around so he set everyone up so he'd have controll of new orleans. he didnt do anything honorable by lying about many good men and women that set up shop in the once great city of new orleans.

Rules of Mafia:

1) There are no rules...merely guidelines

2) Eliminate all threats

3) Those who hesitate get free swimming lessons in their sleep

4) Ego's and jealousy make up for 80% of all wars around here. Big mouths and having dreams bigger than your abilities make up the other 20%

Imaginary rules of Mafia:

1) Upon dying, you have to send your next of kin to the streets to act like an fucking idiot

2) Screaming obscenities at current leaders as a civilian or thug does NOT give you superpowers later on.

3) Apathy is a caring and giving soul who would NEVER misbehave.

Aoife claps upon Apathy's finish

Well said my dear Sir, well said - I totally agree with your rules both real and imagined, um, well we won't discuss imaginary #3 as it is well - imagined....

Raleigh, I don't see the point in aguring all this crap. If he is as bad a leader as you say he is then he will ultimately fail as a GF and we all know what happens then. I believe that he will do well in the city he is in and that he made the right decision. Yelling and screaming that he is incompitent is stupid and pointless. If you think he will fail and sit back, shut up, and see what happens. Maybe you will be right maybe you will be wrong. Only time will tell.

Apathy I always knew why you were the one to guide me in this life. Hearing your words now only prove that more.

Ragnorok,It was going to happen and I hated to see it coming. Detroit for some time will never be the same until the right one comes again. Hopefully as strong as it ever was when captain Marietta was running it.And to the other Strong families right now this goes to show you that even yourself your not safe.
