As many of you can see, we had to remove LaQuenta and Infidel from the ranks today.  It was with hard fought deliberation that the decision was made, but in the end I had to look out for the safety of the other cities.  I won't delve too far into the matter, but needless to say it is a disappointing night in Chicago.  The protection is as follows:

All members listed have 48 hours of Chicago protection, during which time they are expected to re-join a Chicago family or suffer the consequences.  After 48 hours from this speech, if the members listed have not found homes, they are fair game to the public.

It is a real shame to see things come to this, if any of the listed are in need of a place please do speak to myself or one of our sponsors,

Drexler tips his hat

The city of New Orleans and the Dharma Initiative have been notified. We send our condolences to your city.

New Orleans has been informed of this unfortunate restructuring.

It is sad to see the members of Chicago go.

New York extends their condolences, they have also been notified of the protection order.

St. Louis has been informed as well

Good Luck to the great city of chicago in rebuilding

The Brigands will be informed.

A hard decision, but Godfathers need to put its city first before anything or anyone.

Well this was another shock, and a sad day for Chicago, a hard decision, much like whatsernames but a strong decision all the same. Hopefully Chicago can recover and get stronger with 2 immediate auths.

Shame the way things had to go, but that's the nature of our business sometimes.

Simplicity shakes her head in disappointment. It was always a dreary day when Crew Leaders had to be taken out by their own city.

"I am sad to see this, but I know Chicago will bounce right back!"

It is always a shame to see your home city lose crewleaders.

I have no doubt though that we will come back stronger and i look forward to playing my part.

A sad, sad day indeed. I send out my thanks out to those who have offered their hospitality in this time of difficulty for some of us.
