The one they all called Freakshow had just finished up her routine at the local circus. She had never been one to make the audience clap and cheer, disgusting looks and panting were more her thing. She had been bending her limbs in angles and directions nobody thought was possible and quite frankly it had been mind blowing and not in the good way. But people just couldn't look away. It was something fascinating in all that horrible. She had been showing off thing after thing, nastiness after nastiness, making sure no one missed all the piercings, tattoos and her split tongue. As she finished she went outside, exhausted, for a cig. As she stood there she couldn't believe how dangerous this place had become. Bullets were flying everywhere, bodies laying all over the place, absolute carnage. It had been like this for days now. All over the country. Her world were in ruins. Her bloodline had been a part of this for quite some time, but this was something different from what she had been told about the past. Eager to hear what others had to say she walked through the street in order to find a crowd that might be interested to discuss a special subject. Without hesitation she started.

"- Friends and fellow low lifers. I was hoping we could take a moment to discuss a topic that's usually reserved for the winners of wars like this one. After every war the winners usually come to the street in order to discuss what happened. When they do they sometimes even name said war. Something along the lines of "The great war", "The big war" or such. I thought we the masses could take this opportunity to discuss this ourselves. What would be a suitable name for this one when future generations look back? In order to get a discussion going let me give a few examples that might be fitting.

First suggestion "The awkward war". Let me elaborate.

This all started with a few big names swimmin. It wasn't the big first wave we've seen so many times before. Perhaps the aggressors were frightened of leaks, perhaps they were in a hurry. I don't know. But the ball started rolling. Not far in people were being thrown in jail for suspicious behavior having to bribe their way back out into the chaos. Some were even struck down by the gods. Cities have been switching sides like babies having to change their diapers. Groups within allies have been putting in limited effort in hopes they can sit protected all through the war in hope of ending up on top. People taking shots at their supposed allies in the middle of things for reasons unknown. At this point can anyone be certain on who is involved or who's against who? It all seems very unorganized. Surely the awkward war is fitting huh?

Second suggestion "The 1% war".

Sure people had to take action in the beginning in order to weaken their opponents. But after a while it has seen, from the outside, that people have only been sitting protected. Letting those under them do the heavy lifting. Lately it has even been hard to tell if the war is still going considering not much is happening. It feels like people are satisfied to let the known 1% accidents and gun malfunctions be the deciding factor in this conflict. Could that be it?

Hopefully some of you have more insight and knowledge about all that's happening. Perhaps you've got other thoughts on the subject. But if you have an opinion or any other suggestions let them be heard before the winners makes it know to all of us what they expect the history books to say. This is your chance to maybe have a small impact on what is going to be said about this in the future. Be sure to take it."

Freakshow grabs another cig while she slides down for some well deserved rest. Her body is hurting from her performance earlier and sitting down is all she can manage at this point. Closing her eyes she waits for others to share their opinion.

Im pretty partial to "The giant unlubricated sodomy gauntlet" 

My reasons are many, the fact that as this came to light the players involved were still given the chance to screw everyone elese. Several players were rubbed out for speaking their minds and finally because it seems to have no end untill certain jail sentences are up. Together its what your average player is feeling like they went through. 

Lena listens to Freakshow and understands exactly what he is saying and speaks up.

The Most Intriguing War

That’s what I would call it.

You know not being privilege to inside information you get bits and pieces on the streets.  It has to be intriguing when the only thing you can say is  “what the fuck?”   The betrayals, lies, scheming, backstabbing, stealing with dirty money that floated all around, has created nothing but pandemonium. 

One of the biggest heist took place in our own playground.   Whodunit, who got it, who reaped benefits from it?

The Gods incarcerating people left and right,  and some even bit the dust.

Then the complete confusion as to who is at war with whom?   Sure seemed to change as the war progressed.

A war where paranoid personality disorder is running so rampart it contributed to the death of innocent by standing gangsters  Some hadn’t even acquired a gun.  Some with no leader to even protect. 

Intriguing because three days into the war you really don’t know who the real threats to leaders are, surely not the gangsters.

Most intriguing because you can’t imagine when and how this all is going to end. Just wish it would.

The Abuse of Power War

That's what I would call it. 

I find the original question redundant as the answer is so obvious - The December May War.

Be careful of what you say here.  Apparently they didn't like what Lena Diamond said or she got hit by one of those paranoid personality disorder people she spoke of. 

Freakshow stands up as people approaches her with a few different thoughts and ideas. She can feel her body still aching. She makes a mental note to take a hot bath later in hopes that things would loosen up a bit  

“- I’m glad to hear that a few of you have taken the time to share some thoughts and suggestions. I’m interested to hear more of an explanation from you both Scrooge and BlackishRed as to why you feel those are fitting names.”

I'll pass. I think it speaks for itself.

i think it a pussy game the war still money then start the war lol

*steal money

I imagine talking to the young gangsters as I sit on my porch in the old mafia home. Yes I remember the Giant Unlubricated Sodomy Gauntlet War. It was as pleasant to go through as it sounds. 

I stand and listen to what Freakshow says. 

I stand and listen to what Revenant says.

I stand and listen to what Lena_Diamond has to say. I stand and watch as she is shot many times. "She's been shot!" I say, because Lena_Diamond has just been shot many times.

The discussion continues and I ignore Lena_Diamond's leaking corpse. I am not a doctor. 

I stand and listen to what Scrooge says.

I stand and listen to what BlackishRed says.

My legs are getting quite tired and I think back to what MartyMuscles said. "Maybe I should go and work out with him at Big Tuna's Outdoor Bars & Beach" I say, because I think building muscle in my legs might help me to stand up longer without getting sore.

I manage to carry on standing and listen to what robin says.

I didn't anticipate that Freakshow would speak again so that takes me a little by surprise. "Oh!" I say, because I was quite surprised. I manage to stand and listen to what he says when I have fully recovered.

I stand and listen to Scrooge reply. I frown because his reply is a little pissy. 

I turn as Heath_Barkley approaches. He has the sloped forehead and too close together eyes synonymous with inbreeding and I take a step away from him. "I hope it isn't contagious" I say, because I hope it isn't contagious.

Revenant speaks again and I listen to him, although my fears about Heath_Barkley's inbreeding have not totally been abated.

Nobody else speaks for 2 hours. I stand with the others in complete silence. My legs are hurting. Some people might say their legs were burning, but I wouldn't say that because they weren't burning at all, my muscles were just aching from standing up for so long.

I have stood and listened to the discussion for 14 hours and I think I have decided what I would like to say.

"I would call it The War from 8th December - Ongoing" I say, because the war started on the 8th December and it is still ongoing.

I wait for people to reply to what I have said.

Tenkai had been sitting in the shadows for awhile, he wanted to laugh, to call this a war was hilarious, now he had read and seen and heard, war, but this, yeah this wasn't it. This was more like innocents to slaughter, mixed in with cheating and hypocrisy, lying and what ever else people wanted to add. 

"You know I wouldn't exactly call this war, I would call this a interesting shitshow, I wouldnt be the only one in thinking that either...I mean even if we do die...here is s but of public information for you..that bogus money lottery was wondering by non other, the crew leader of Seattle himself...I have nothing to say to that...I also love how when the people were getting killed over the lottery was mentioned to the co called great leaders, thethey called this person a liar..but it was confirmed by many sources..and then not long after she was killed. How screwed up is that?...many people used their own means the right way to win and got killed for it..many people spoke of what they knew and hot killed, before this "ShitShow".

Honestly you would think, we are all adults here, i get it war is war, but this is more than war, this is bullying the weak, this harming those that are harmless...and what's sad is...they bragged about their power and yet they couldn't even get therewith their own two hands...and what's even worse..this little stunt they pulled probably started before that little war when mikhail won last time...this has probably gone on for along time...but what I want to know is why now? Why did kuku decide to report it now? I'm not saying its the most important thing in the world..but that's what has me mind boggled..that and the fact that other cls knew but kept it to themselves...why wasn't it reported before hand? Anyway..kind of makes you wonder doesn't it? sad. Anyway I won't take up much more of your time..but I think this so called wat should be called a shit show....and it doesn't matter if you have a gun or don't, or a crew or don't...you still be killed..." 

Tenkai disappeared like how the light never showed his appearance only the outlining of him.

Shitshow

Nailed it

Freakshow was listening to Little Lenny as he were expressing his thoughts. It's always great to get the opportunity to hear others say what's on their mind. Learn from others point of views. Just as she was about to answer someone took a shot at the poor fella. Blood spraying everywhere. Freakshow quickly turned around but couldn't catch a glimpse of the perp. Such a tragedy but not entirely uncommon these days with everything that was going on. She wiped off all the blood being careful nothing was stuck in her piercings. After all hygiene is important when carrying accessories like that. She watched the blood spread across the sidewalk but didn't really feel anything. She was more mesmerized of the calming effect it seemed to have on her. Sure he had seemed to be a nice boy, but somehow it wasn't all that unexpected. Somehow wars like these seems to numb you. Make you indifferent to horrors. As she shrugged it off she couldn't help but hear someone else getting ready to express their views. She turned around to listen.

"- To summarize I'd say that your suggestion is "The Shitshow". A nice contribution indeed and something worthy of a consideration."

Not being able to catch a clear view of the person Freakshow couldn't help but wondering if this could have been the same illusive man that had taken the shot on lovely Little-Lenny-Literal. After all if you see one shadow all is good, but if you see two in a small amount of time you have to wonder if it's the same one. Freakshow slides down into a sitting position again. The aching had started to decrease in strength, but she could feel how her entire body was stiffening up. Perhaps it was a good time to take that bath. Perhaps even go for a little run getting that blood flowing.  

I'm not saying its the most important thing in the world..but that's what has me mind boggled..that and the fact that other cls knew but kept it to themselves...why wasn't it reported before hand? Anyway..kind of makes you wonder doesn't it? sad. 

Scrooge decides to comment on this

Because the CLs that knew about this (some of which are still alive and leading) and many of their original hands benefited from this (a mixture of set up cost, bgs, forts, cash, credits).The real sad thing is they were allowed to buy their way out of it.
