The Way Forward... Started by: Vodoo on Feb 22, '08 20:48
I was going to come up with a very eloquent speech, regarding how the same shit is said over and over again and it's just how you say it not what,that makes the difference....


But...


I am afraid I will have to bore you with a generic 'rate the Crewleaders' Speech.


POC:


Prince.....That's how we all seem to fondly think of him, in reality he isn't someone you would have any inclination to trust, and even if you are graced with the inclination to think about 'CP' he is defiantly not the one you would trust. Bottom line though he will produce results, and you don't feel the need to question him.


Altitude:


He is the one and true africunt, when it comes down to it with or without CP this Mafioso will always produce solid 'stock', if not a little nae *cough* Kendies *cough*. I genuinely mean it when I wish him all the best in this life.


Limoncello:


Obviously a tactical auth, she is nothing more than a gun waiting to be used. That is not an insult she is clearly, very good at what she does, but nothing more than a pawn, and has never shown true leadership skills.



Intervention:


Much like the above more than useful when it comes to what is needed or required, when it comes to day to mafia requirements and someone I am fairly fond of, he wont cut it. Not a natural born leader but nurture obviously has a clearly productive out put.


BruceCarrol:


Yes, he is a face or a name for now. Will his name echo between the ages? Simply no he is 'a' less than required. Unless I have to work with him then obviously he is what la costa nostra is missing.


SpiderPig:


Random banter and a fairly amusing fellow, could be someone to offer more substance.


Cab_Tufting:


Wouldn't be fair to comment as no judgement has been made.


So the upshot of this little tirade, all of the leaders have there faults and thankfully we have a bit of consistency in how things work, or how they will do.


Well I think it would only be fair, if I apologize if I have been in-accurate, in regards to crew leaders and there ambitions *cough* BruceCarrol * cough*


Well if you listened it is appreciated, and onwards and upwards as they say.


Love Vodoo.

Translation: Limoncello is finally being given an opportunity in this world, rather than people following the old assumptions and paranoias of her past bloodlines. While her gun could have been used from within another's crew, she IS in fact deserving of a chance...a REAL chance...and will, hopefully, make the most of this opportunity (which, again, I must emphasize, is a FIRST)and lead the way she is capable of leading.


Glad to be of help there.

Or... Yes, she has fuck all street presence and I have no remembrance of her showing that she has that ability or drive to even walk down that road.


Ability 10/10


Organisational 10/10


Lackies 1/1


However ability to articulate herself in public to the standard that would get a laugh, or make you think beyond 'I ave 2 petty in 2 mins init'


NO!

Never seen her quote that actually.


I suppose your judgment based solely on public speaking is one person's opinion though, no? In truth, I haven't seen a lot of humor from some of the other of your "buddies" either, though, I'm guessing longtime pals don't warrant the same scrutiny do they? In any case, I think that after only one day in a leadership position, your opinion of her is faulty and baseless anyway. Perhaps you too, are biased, based upon past bloodlines. Seems to be the way of this world, anyhoo, no?


There's someone else's opinion.
Report Post Tip
Well obviously my 'opinion' is based purely one person's thinking i.e mine. (well done)


I felt I was more harsh on my 'buddies' than any other.


I think you will find, I actually rate 'her' and 'her' ability to produce results, I however don't fucking doubt that she will be nothing more than a mute gun.


Who wont be called upon unless in a time of need or opportunity.


I wait with baited breath to be proved wrong!

Frankly, I don't give two fucks of FrankieFigs dick, what people think of me or my past ancestors.


As I said in my introduction speech, I have a lot to learn and a long way to go. Yes, this is the first time my bloodline has been given a chance, which is something I am grateful for, and hopefully I can prove naysayers like you wrong, in time.

Still, I remember a day when certain things said about a leader was considered disrespectful, and thusly, these people were "dealt with". Times change, I suppose, and perhaps opinions, given they are based upon more than "what happened in the past", will as well.
Report Post Tip
Only some people "were dealt with", others were always allowed to slide. Right or wrong, that is and probably always will be the way of our world.

Onwards and upwards indeed, while this generic but informative and opinionative speech may have started with the intention of entertaining and conveying the opinion of the author to the masses it seems to have unfortunately veered off course, unintentionally one would hope.


With all due respect Vodoo, and there is some I assure you, nothing less than what should be shown to a man of your stature, I feel in my own opinion there is a level of disrespect emanating from your words which has no place being aired in public and not only does a disservice to yourself but your sponsor, Altitude, whom in his own words was "enormously honored to be the one to afford her this opportunity".


As I've already said, I'm sure this is merely a misunderstanding and with perhaps a few choice words could be rectified easily enough, on the other hand if there is some personal vendetta on display then perhaps that too can be rectified through the correct channels, who knows.


On the whole I liked your speech and appreciated the minor insight into those I've yet to personally come across from the perspective of an elder statesman as it were.

I thought Superboy's "I'm not a fan of yours but you would do a better job than NWA_GANGSTA" would have enjoyed a longer run as "Best Backhanded Compliment I've Ever Gotten." Apparently not.

First of that speech was supposed to be taken with a pinch of salt, but if you wish to be pedantic about it then no probs.


In regards to be being punished for what I said?


If I am so be it, however I am fully aware of my 'made' status and who my friends are. Even in a drunken haze I was more than confident that, that my actions would be chalked down to experience and off I would pop as usual.

Vodoo sir, it is interesting that you comment on someones street presence, or lack of, when this is your first original visit to the streets. Admitedly you are not (yet) a leader, but were it offered to you today, would you turn it down saying you do not feel you have the street experience to be a good leader?

If I were required to play a more active roll within the community in a vocal sense, Then obviously i would up my game so to 'speak'.


My particular brand of street speaking in general is best implemented, when WG or above.


1. To avoid the irritating just another low rank mouthing off, argument.


2. While made can be called a farce and it doesn't mean much, it still makes me a member of the La Costa nostra, and the protection that comes with it.


Simple reason I was not made, and have the friends I have I would probably be killed.


It's all about timing mi amigo.



So if you want to break it down, one rule for me you, her , him, etc...
