Anton is hanging out in The Loop.  As per usual, the conversation is about Billy_Russo's outstanding, long-form story Outsourcing.  One man is heard to say to Anton -

"Yo, Tony, isn't this the same boring old shit day in day out?  That motherfucker Billy just talks smack about robbing graves and shit?"

Anton, obviously, kills the man and can be heard saying, shouting in fact:

"Billy_Russo is a close friend of mine, and he is the pre-eminent speaker on these Streets!  And my name IS NOT Tony!"

But Anton gets to thinking.  Billy is the most consistent speaker on the Streets and, whilst there's no denying the quality, or popularity, of his stories, there isn't much variety.  It is with this in mind that Anton takes to the Streets and begins to speak...

"My friends, Billy_Russo, or Billy as his friends, of which I can proud to say I am one, is the most consistent speaker on the Streets and, whilst there's no denying the quality, or popularity, of his stories, there isn't much variety.  It is with this in mind that I, Anton, takes to the Street to speak to you.

I have heard tell of competitions.  Contests.  Paid off judges.  Shadowy Commissars and huge prizes.  I've heard of conversations lasting days.   Excitement.  Intrigue.  I recall stories of Stuttering Gabe,  and a cast of other characters.  

What I am asking you, is this:

SHOULD WE RE-ESTABLISH A COMPETITIVE WRITING COMMUNITY?

No. We aren’t friends. Fuck off with that bullshit. You’re a child.

Haha, Billy, nice one.  But seriously, what do you think about the actual question posed? 

Let’s start this off by what you clearly don’t understand. Outsourcing is so anyone who wants a free grave rob or contract can have it. I understand that the concept of helping someone else is foreign to you but come on, you’re being ridiculous. 

I think that you’re a scumbag who likes the sound of his own voice. Why would anyone want to join a contest that you had anything to do with? The only thing I’ve seen come out of them is death and destruction caused by you. You’ve rigged or at least tried to rig every single one. You constantly reneg on deals that you yourself pushed for.

Id prefer not to have a contest at all as opposed to one run by someone who served time in jail for plagiarism. You’ve shown time and time again that you’re a liar, a cheat and that you are incapable of changing your ways. We don’t need a writing competition, we need you to go away.

For the comically numerous times that I have told you, I can’t be bought. Kinda like when you offered me $100 million to suicide then come back and join you. Or when you offered me $25 million to be your right hand.

Not only is that how I see you, from both your interactions with me as well as others, but from the looks of it, I’m not the only one who shares this opinion. 

Do you honestly believe that someone who has screwed the writing community time and time again and has been in jail for plagiarism should really be running anything? If you do, clearly you have no moral compass what so ever.

You can go to jail for plagiarism? No really, that’s been done by the admins? What was plagiarized?

He asks as he takes a few tastes of acid from the dropper.

How exactly does being a liar, a cheater, a plagiarist and in general just a nasty person show your generosity? I’m genuinely curious as to how you can spin this one. 

Yes, it’s been done Gonzo. Feel free to ask Anton about it, he’s the one that was jailed for it.

Tripping hard he looks at Anton, “Dafaq brah?” Gonzo then returns to Bat Coountry.

the infamous drug lord enters the conversation.

Must be honest, we arnt nice folk. The fact that he gets such a rise out of you is almost as exciting as hearing the whos who on the hit list. You may not like it, but YOU are the entertainment here. 

anyways do you need some bitches to take your mind off of things? hollar outside of Tristans coffee shop and ill hook you up with some mice girls. them wild Alabama type you hear? ill tell them that your their long lost brother and BAM, All 5 minutes long.

I, Anton, have been tried for nothing.  I have never seen the inside of the dreaded jail, known as Admin.  I did, I must confess, offer Billy_Russo large sums of money to work for me, but that is because I like his dress sense.  It's interesting, and refreshing, not to mention brave. 

For someone who talks an awful lot about their lineage, I find it amusing how you gloss over the terrible things you’ve done to end up where you are now. Your line didn’t cheat this place out of millions or get locked up for plagiarism, right? The fact that you neglect these rather pertinent things about yourself proves that you shouldn’t be anywhere near the writing community. 

Billy_Russo, son, are you talking about me, or are you talking about some long dead relatives of mine?

And who should be allowed near the competitive writing community?  Outsourcing is a fucking great read, nobody will seriously challenge that, but Billy, babe, c'mon, it isn't competitive, is it?

Unfortunately, you’re the one who keeps toting his lineage as if we all don’t know you got a whole lot of people killed for your greed. 

And things are supposed to be competitive just because you said so? The guy who will lie, cheat and steal whenever given the opportunity? No competition is better than having to deal with the lies that you continue to spew. Are you just that hard up to be part of the writing community that this is the only way you can get a foot in the door? Maybe actually try writing something decent as opposed to giving your speeches just so you can hear your own voice.

Writers should be near the writing community. Not people who’s sole purpose in the world is to piss off as many people as possible. 

"you’re the one who keeps toting his lineage" - proof?

"you got a whole lot of people killed for your greed" - aren't most people killed for greed here?

"the lies that you continue to spew" - which lies are these?

"Maybe actually try writing something decent as opposed to giving your speeches just so you can hear your own voice." - my recent speeches have been popular, no?  

Alright, fine, you want to play that way, let’s play.

A) Have you already forgotten the bullshit out of your own mouth? Every day you mention Kuku or the Commissar or anyone of the other inane things you’ve done here.

B) Sure, people have been killed for greed but not to the extent that you destroyed entire families because of yours.

C) All, you’ve ever done is lie. “This contest is on the up and up. I’d never rig anything etc etc” Ive lost track of how many times you’ve begged me to join one of your contests by offering me a winning spot before I’ve even written anything only for you to somehow conveniently forgot ever saying it.  

D) There is a complete difference between writing and speeches and you know it. I’ll give it to you, you know how to rile up folks and speak in the streets. As far as actual imagination and writing, you are sorely lacking. If you want to be part of the writing community, actually be a part of it.

Billy_Russo - I'm Anton.  I don't discuss any of my relatives in any detail.  Many others do, but I generally don't.

And son, my bloodline death toll is small.  Which deaths are you talking about?

And you, lest ye forget, are the man who SHAMED a relative of mine for writing sexually charged jailhouse erotica because it was "guys banging guys" - a writer insulting other writers for writing about the love that dare not speak its name?

You should be ashamed, son. 

You live in a very delusional world. 

You constantly talk about your relatives like your line is the greatest thing since sliced bread. 

Yup, the entire Regime that was cut down for your casino stunt must not count. 

<font color="#D7D7D7">If you felt shame for that, that’s your own doing. It actually was about guys banging guys and to be honest, it wasn’t even good. I could care less what you write about, but at least be good at it. Good luck finding another writer that I’ve shamed. Nine times out of ten I’m messaging them to ignore you after you tried to hijack their writings because you aren’t getting enough attention.</font>

<font color="#D7D7D7">I am by no means the best or even one of the best writers here but I’m a fuck lot better at it than you. What you do reeks of jealousy because you aren’t good enough to come up with anything that isn’t pure shock value.</font>
