Saturday morning was rolling on in Philadelphia this morning, Luis had not much sleep after the tragic events that had transpired the day before but yet still found himself in bed staring at the ceiling. He lost some good friends yesterday in a very tragic way, normally death didn't bother him but when you reach this age, and seen all your friends die, it can take a toll on a man's soul in a very heavy way.. There wasn't a night that he didn't get a visit from someone he killed over his 30 year tenure in the mafia, turning the ripe old age of 70 soon, he felt blessed to just be alive...

Letting out a deep sigh, he finally pulled himself from his bed and got ready and made his way to his home office where he sat down in his chair and grinned as his trusted bodyguard Joe Delorenzi turned the corner with a cup of coffee right on que.

"Good morning boss, how did you sleep?" he said as he placed the cup down on the desk

"Ah, not much sleep again Joe, too much on my mind. Thank you.. that is all for now"

Luis said with a grin as he dismissed Joe away and pulled out a piece of paper and placed it on the desk in front of him before snatching the pen from the corner of the desk. He let out another deep sigh as he began writing on the paper..

Hello fellow members of the mafia. I am pleased to be the one to announce the plans going forward with the current state of affairs regarding our current territories. To start off, I want to say my condolences to all who lost their lives in these past few weeks, we are all brothers and sisters in this thing of ours, we all chose this path to live a life of crime. Sometimes is all greatness and glory, for some you end up in ditch on the side of the road. That is the gangster life.

In Regards to our sister city in Los Angeles I am pleased to announce that the council will be moving forward with the breaking of chains. Following the demise of GFC Insta and the sudden retirement of my good friend Video in Seattle, the "Overseers" for L.A are no longer walking among us and I feel that Admiral Ackbar has earned the opportunity for the next step in leading L.A into the future. He is the man leading the charge and I'm proud to announce that he will be taking over fully without Council intervention from here on out.

Philadelphia lost two crew leaders in a day, so it was offered to Legolas to come back to PH, the original place he was authed out from to L.A before it became a Competition City. We also lost 3 GF hands, I will just state that it is business as usual in PH and we will continue pushing forward with keeping things in order.

Seattle has a new GFC in Wilson. I hope you all have wished him a congratulations on his opportunity. I look forward to working with him on the council after the retirement of the late Video. IF you haven't taken the time to pay your respects I highly suggest visiting. There will not be another classy GF like that around for some time. Much respect to him.

Detroit lost it's GFC in Aladdin. It's my understanding the city leaders are all talking about who will take the reigns. DT is still a territory of PH and I will try and do everything I can to see that transition go over smoothly. Aladdin is another funeral I would suggest visiting, I have tremendous respect for that man and all he has done for me and PH over his tenure.

 

That just about concludes things for now. I hope you all enjoy yourselves, get after it on the double XP jail event this weekend! 

Signed,

Godfather Chairman Luis Patangeli

Luis places the pen down on top of the piece of paper and reaches for a smoke and stuck it in his mouth before he quickly ignited it with his zippo and exhaled in relief at the taste of nicotine. He swirled his chair around and leaned back as he stared out his large window at the hills of South Philly, the blades of grass moved gracefully in the wind and all it could remind Luis of was the Old Country, Sicily.. Could he retire yet?

Sunlight fell threw the windows of Don Admiral's penthouse, waking him from a deep sleep. Ackbar was still tired, he was up late last night taking care of business. The local police department put major pressure on his operation by cracking down on several key locations. It was quite the hassle getting his associates out of the slammer - but he got the job done.

While pouring himself a fresh cup of coffee the phone rang, it was his right-hand woman Alexus. Word on the street was that the godfather council was having a meeting with one specific point on their agenda; the future of L.A.

Admiral Ackbar was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, is this it? He thought to himself...It didn't take long before the announcement was made - L.A is now a city of its own with Admiral Ackbar overseeing all the operations.

Ladies & Gentlemen

It is with great honor that I may announce the independence of Los Angeles. We have seen a lot of changes over the past few days, but we have a steady course ahead of us now. Thank you for putting this trust in me, together we will bring L.A back to its former glory.

Kind regards,

Don Admiral Ackbar - Acting Godfather of Los Angeles & Leader of the Rebel Alliance

Alexus had just got off the phone with @AdmiralAckbar.   She assured him that she would take care of the situation that happened last night with the local police department putting major pressure on the operation by cracking down on several key locations.  She had already talked with some of her resources and in the process of adding some pressure back on the local police.

She didn’t want this to spoil this wonderful, important day for him.  Godfather Chairman Luis_Patangeli had announced he was giving AA the opportunity to step up in leading L.A into the future as Acting Godfather.

This was a bittersweet day for all of us.  We had lost some good friends, may they rest in peace.

Alexus was really sad about Legolas moving to Philly for they are good friends but she wished him the best.   Exquisite had just arrived in LA and she was going to miss her also.  She was sure that they would be back to LA to visit.

On a happier note:  Congratulation Act Godfather Chairman @AdmiralAckbar.  You have worked hard and deserve this opportunity.  I am so proud to be at your right sharing your awesome journey.

Rising LA to a glorious city will be an endeavor for all of us here in LA.

I am glad to be around there to give the Admiral a hand doing just that

AdmiralAckbar A.K.A AA called Victor on the phone he was excited while Victor was trying to figure out who was calling him at this ungodly hour.  Victor had just pulled an all nighter as he was out handling the things the boss wanted done.  Then it hit him that it was AA.  AA had just returned from a sit down with the Commission and got the nod.  Victor sat up and congratulated his Godfather then pulled out a pad and pencil.  Quickly taking shorthand as his Godfather spoke he then repeated it back and then congratulated him again.   

Victor knew that with the Commissions blessing that AA had made a great impression and now LA would be able to stand with the rest of the families and break bread.  With a seat at the table LA was now on the map and AA was the driver.  With a bright smile Victor knew that now he and all of LA can't afford to slack now they had to show that the commission was right and that LA was part of a team to keep the rackets running smoothly and can walk with honor and integrity.  

Congratulations, Boss! As a token of my appreciation for taking me out of the streets, I have created a concoction for all of your guests to enjoy. Forget liquor, this is better and sooo much fun, if you know what I mean.

With a grin on her face, Ayahuasca slyly puts a container out full of special tea.

"Great to here about this, take in LA all and make it great again all friends in here"

He stood there and lighten up a smoke and were very happy over this announcement he just got to know about.

Blueface noticed a crowd forming which prompted him to approach and see what was going on. As he couldn't see anything despite trying to climb whatever may give hin a vantage point, he decided to just push through the crowd. When he finally managed to get a glimpse of the sign inviting the crowd, he read 'LA' and he knew what was gonna be in it. He then got back out od the suffocating crowd and sat on a bench. 

​​"Guess that's official. Congratulations to LA's new stewards!" Blueface says between puffs of a cigar. 

Taradiddle_ still had not properly returned to his senses after coming back and finding out he lost his beloved leader Aladdin. He listened to the Godfather's speech and was happy that things apparently were going forward in the country. He nodded along, until he found Luis_Patangeli say something remarkable..

He stood at the back for a bit when all goodwishes were exchanged, before stepping forward

Please, allow me to congratulate the city leaders of Los Angeles first, as apparently they did really well.. In history, it has definitely not always been a sure shot to start leading a crew under the wing of another city under set rules and limitations. So, I wish you the best of  luck on improving your city even further, AdmiralAckbar_. Also, Legolas, my old friend, I want to congratulate you on being brought back to Philadelphia. Clearly, the city noticed your work and efforts.

Well done!

@Taradiddle paused for a moment, and his tone changed a bit

I would not be stepping forward if all I had to say was some cheering. I noticed something you said, Godfather Luis_Patangeli.. And I would respectfully like to ask you what you meant with the phrase

'Firstly, DT is still a territory of PH ..' Taradiddle_ used his fingers to make clear he quoted the Godfather

Was the old Las Vegas territory of Philadelphia, is the current Las Vegas still? Maybe I am misinterpreting this, though.. I just found it a peculiar phrase.. Could you explain that?

Taradiddle_ raised an eyebrow and frowned, mumbling..

Or maybe I am just not aware with where power lies in our nationwide organisation, that could just as well be..

Constipated was in search of a good laxative. He did not have to travel far. His glorious moment was right here with Luis_Patangeli.    

Bollocks. Luis had his thumb on the scale all along. PH controlling the cities is the problem and why there are only a bit over 400 ppl in crews atm. Purge time.
