I'm astonished that you actually expected people to heed your words, in all honesty.

The sad fact of the matter is this; your bloodline has never ever shown any willingness to treat anyone else afresh. Ever. Every generation that has appeared has always used old grudges as some badge of honour and repeatedly harassed those that your blood has previously had issues with.

Coupled with this, every single generation has followed the same path. Lie, deflect, die. Start rumours, make up stories, lie about everything and blame someone else and eventually die when things got too much for them.

I think I reached out at some point to congratulate you on being the first of your bloodline to steer clear of such a path and praised you for finally showing the true ability that many have always expected your bloodline to have. Sadly, before long you fell down the same old path and returned to form.

Created contests that you seemingly cheated on, lie about such actions and ignore the complainers then expect people to simply disregard/forget these incidents. Then take umbrage with anyone that calls you out on it and act like some poor innocent little soul that hasn't done any wrong.

Despite all this, I still feel that what you can achieve could be wonderful. If the theatrics and petulance and constant desire to court controversy was put to one side, there is the ability in there to be someone that could indeed become not only an integral and valuable member of the community, but one that would also be respected by its peers. As it stands, I don't know a single person that would regard your lineage with any real respect as its always been the butt of the joke due to the hysterical theatrics involved - from my own perspective and going by the notes of my own lineage, that always appeared to be intentional on your bloodlines part - which was what frustrated most. The ability has always been evident, but the desire to achieve not so much, instead your lineage has always chosen the role of class clown to be more appealing than the hard work to build something good.

That said.. the speech you have given on this subject has me almost hopeful that you are going to stop with the aforementioned courting of controversy and instead look to move forward and aim to help build something of worth in your new location of Detroit, given who you have there with you this would certainly be a good choice as there are some very fine members of this thing of ours that should allow you and them to build a very strong and respectful city.

But please, put aside past differences like you implore others to do. Cease with the desire to be a focal point and instead work in the shadows if you can, not simply to remain out of sight, but to allow you to focus on more than simply being a mouthpiece for others, because if you do then I really think there is a lot that you can do not just for yourself, but for Detroit too. 

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and hope that my honest words are taken in the manner they are meant to be. 

Oh god, you are so up yourself CommissarZverev, You are just an embarrassment now. I agree 100% with what Zangief says. 

Grow up. 

When it was revealed that you would be the "peoples rep" for the iron bank. You would think that Mikhail would give it to someone with a positive stature. But turns out..... 

More than welcome to challenge the aspersions cast your way, CommissarZverev, certainly no issue on my end for you doing so.

You may note that when I made my comment, I did add that you seemingly cheated. I haven't investigated any of the such claims, I have saw evidence thrown around that could have been taken out of context, but to my knowledge you haven't ever seriously engaged with those accusers to challenge the validity of any such claims.

Again, I could be wrong. You could have very well challenged the claims privately, I can only judge from the public persona put before us on these here streets for all to see.

Neil arrives looking a little nervous and dishevelled. He'd been working for 48hrs straight and smelled like VIPCreditsGrin's corpse which was still chained to its desk in the basement of the Chronicle's offices. 

CommissarZverev, it takes a big man to admit when he is wrong, and I guess I owe you an apology. In the course of my investigations into other matters for a client, I have had to look into your competitions, and the accusations of corruption levelled at you by myself, and members of the Media such as CoconutRandy. Randy of course gets a by ball in all this as he only goes where the news leads him, I on the other hand may have been unduly harsh on my assessment of you and your philanthropy. I now know that you were not behind any fraud perpetrated during your competitions and I humbly seek your forgiveness. I tried really hard to find an olive branch to offer you as a token of my sincerity and wish of reconciliation, but I was unable to find one, apparently Grape vines are more common than Olive bushes in Nevada, so please accept this jar of gherkin stuffed olives as a token of my honest, and heartfelt sorrow at accusing you in the wrong.

I listened, I think you already judged yourself thats why you are here. Mistakes are why pencils have erasers. We dont have that option so we keep going remembering not to repeat them. I have to say I looked at anything pertaining to the contests that I could. Each winner was top notch and while competition was close i never disagreed with who was chosen. To put it another way if some babbling drivel won THEN id be suspicious. 
Well my gun isnt pointed at you, I was taught only to point it at something you intend to kill
