Walking along a crowded street you see a heroin addict shooting up in a doorway.  This heroin addict stands up (barely) and steps up onto a rickety milk crate and starts to talk.

I quit.  Plane and simple.  I'm taking my bloodline else where to bigger better things.

Train_Wreck looks around as people start to gather.

It wasn't entirely pointless, this life.  My bloodline has seen many many things, good and bad.  Mostly bad.  But that's ok because I had friends, real friends.  The ones that wont stab you in the back even if it meant a promotion from the Godfather himself. 

Train_Wreck lights a cigarette and stares off for a bit thinking about all the good times he's had.  Then he starts to remember the bad that his bloodline has encountered.

You know,  I try not to take this life seriously...Not like most of you do anyway.  A lot of you boys and girls that live this life are actually decent people.  Nice people.  The others....power hungry, big headed idiots that know nothing about outside of this life and take way too much of this, too seriously. JUST HAVE SOME FUN FOR ONCE!

Now that I got that part off my chest, let's continue shall we?  OK.  One think that really pisses me off about this "so-called" life is people that have no respect for others and talk AT them instead of to them.  If I wanted to be treated like a child I'll go back home and suck on my moms tit.  Another thing that pisses me off is people say you have to work to get that higher up position...BULLSHIT!  That's the biggest load of crap that I've ever heard in my entire life and a bold face lie.  You and I both know damn well that if you know the right people you don't have to work towards jack shit.  I know this for a fact.  I see it happen every day and so has my bloodline RalphieBeans, Mr_Bean, Teddy, PatSmear and Zerk.  So don't tell me it doesn't happen because then you are lying to your own people and are guilty.  So all you gangsters and goons listen closely as I say, when your CL says you need to work at it, anything in this game could happen.  Don't believe it.  It wont.  Chances are they already know who they are picking for a family position but they feel they have to say something to you to keep your interest.  I would have to say about 95% of the people that suicide, suicide because they realize they have been lied to and they aren't going to amount for shit on this character.  Hell, my bloodline has been lied to constantly for 3 years by CL's and Godfathers (if they will even talk to you) about how I need to work harder than I am when I'm already giving it my all.

Train_Wreck puts out his cigarette and blows out his last drag and says...

I would like to thank Dementor for always believing in me and actually give me a chance to be a RHM.  I tell you what everyone, this guy did his god damn best to get my bloodline auth'd because he knew I was one of the best and loyal (if respected enough).  Thank you Dem, I'll never forget you.

Mrs-Doubtfire, you smell like patchouli and dildos.  But you've always been there for me anytime that I've been in trouble or needed to talk and I thank you for that.

God help me I can't remember your name back then but you were the GF for LV when I was Zerk,  if you're reading this, thanks for your understanding in my quest and letting me survive out of the war and your consideration to have me Auth'd...you too BigHead, thank you (Manc Lions forever!).

Premeir,  my only advise to you is to maybe lighten up sometimes?  I mean I know you a GF and everything but chill.  You don't have to be a dick your entire life.  Oh and you can stop bloodline hunting me now becuase my bloodline is retiring for good now because of people like you.  I hope your reign is short and bitter.  (OCC:  Try going outside once in a while, MR shouldn't control your life).

Oh and Leela (if you still play), I'm not a stalker, we just happen to live in the same town and that doesn't make me a stalker.  If I was going to risk going to jail over stalking it would be of someone who's at least SLIGHTLY attractive.

Train_Wreck puts out his cigarette and blows out his last drag and says...

Piss off.  I quit.

In other words... see you in 3 to 6 months or however long it takes to make your incog work? ...Whatever

If I wanted the opinion of a piss ant I would have asked you.  And what the hell kind of name is RoRoG anyway?  You sound like a gay stripper.

RalphieBeans is a name I remember quite well, he grew up with us in Philadelphia. A very promising young man.
It saddens me to see what road you took from there. Didn't have to go this way Ralphie...

Such a shame.

If you don't want anyones opinion do everyone a favor and quit without pretending you're important and posting a thread saying how you've been wronged by so many people and how you hate everything and whatever other borderline emo things you'll say.

How amusing I've taken an absurd name that you say is meaningless and killed you twice. Thats how Charlie Sheen would define winning eh?

Anyway fun times but I don't care to continue this. Just wanted to point out the absurdity of this.

Im not going to condemn or praise you,

Please just leave, the people you just mentioned just got their names included in a speech meant to insult those who authed them and those that support them whether you intended that or not. If you don't respect the people of this game you will leave for good, have a nice life, otherwise please refrain from embarrassing yourself and your friends incase you do happen to come back again. You don't have to be friends with everyone, you dont have to like everyone, but you have to be able to communicate in a rational manner with everyone. If you mix emotions with descisions your bound for disaster, and this seems to be an emotional descision.

RoRog, you're a joke.  I'm not emo, I'm pissed off.  There's a difference but seeing how you don't even know what punk is, how can you know what emo is?  And who gives a shit about a two bit over the hill actor like Charlie Sheen?  Is that your idol?  A drug addicted guy who cheats on his wife?  Well, ex-wife.  Honestly, I really don't care at all of anyone's opinion.  I just wrote this crap to stir up something before I leave.  So thank you guys for playing into it :)

I've never argued in the streets and you've never argued with a fella like me so I suggest you know what your saying before you say it.

WhereWasI, I don't even know who you are but yes, I don't have to be friends with everyone but I do think that if you're a Godfather you should make damn sure that everyone that's a CL, RHM or LHM knows the damn rules before they are in that position instead of belittling someone for breaking rules that he didn't even know existed (directed towards Prem).

Train_Wreck you are a fool, your bloodline, for as long as I have known it, has always ben a fool.  You refuse to learn, and make an ass of yourself more often that I thought possible.  Pick up your dignity, and either do business in this thing of ours, or don't.  Complaining and whining about it is not going to help you or anyone else.  You dont like how some people work around here?  Rank up, and do something about it, so shut up.   RoRoG is an awesome name by the way. 

Your bloodline never proved to me personally that you were worth a second look, but then I never had the misfortune of you being anywhere close to me. This just proves that you aren't worth a damn thing. So you weren't authed, big deal, quit crying and get the hell over it, try again and you will succeed when you actually deserve something.

I would also just like to mention that getting authed has less than you think to do with who you know. Previous to this character, my bloodline had not been authed for around 3 years of constant playing. It was not due to me being in the wrong place, I had friends in most cities I was in including close friends who were the Godfathers of them cities, and you know what? I wasn't authed! I can also tell you why, I was lazy as hell, I did next to nothing. I had a 9 month old character with nothing to show for it.
Now, this time, I decided to actually show what I can do and actually work for something, there are different ways of doing this, and ways only certain people will see, and recognise as you putting the effort in. I have the same friends now as I did back then, the only thing that changed was my work ethic and me deciding to change the way I do stuff.

The fact you say you are one of the best and the most loyal shows how very wrong you would be if you had been authed. You don't get to decide that you are the best, that is for other people to decide. You wouldn't see a Godfather or Crewleader come into the streets just to say how great they were. That's not how you get to be remembered as one of the greats, other people have to think you're one of the greats, not you tooting your own horn.

The sourness and disrespect you have shown in this one street speech astounds me, thank god you weren't authed.

(This whole thread seems pretty damn OOC already, apologies for not being IC for my reply)

For a robot that might be a cool name.  I've been a fool?  Who's really the fool here?  You've never even met me, ever.  So that right there is a lie.  Maybe if some people weren't a bunch of retarded idiots running around with a pretend gun showing off their power hungry idiocracy you wouldn't have people like me.  I did rank up.  I was going to do something about it.  But I was ratted on.  You know who you are if you're reading this.  You think Zerk roguing was spur of the moment?  You think I haven't been planning it for months?  lol I can't help but laugh at that.  It's been my number one agenda for a very long time now.  I know I wasn't going to succeed but I had to at least try.  That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call dedication to a cause.  Not being a mindless drone clicking button after button after button.  Even though I was betrayed and no longer welcome the betrayers friendship I still respect the fact that I was betrayed.  It goes hand in hand.  Like, cake and ice cream, peas and carrots, peanut butter and mayo...

I knew there was a good chance I would be betrayed, I just didn't expect it to be by who it was, who remain nameless becuase that would just further the betrayers prestige (if any).

Way to prove yourself a fool.  We have met, seems you just do not realize who I am.  Fair enough.  And to answer your question, yeah I sort of think Zerk was a spur of the moment.  Aside from sending out mails using the third person to describe himself, I don't know of anything he did at all. 

Oh and Salvatore Gravanno wannabe, I was told I was in-fact the best and most loyal.  I can be the best member you've ever had or......I can be this.  A ranting lunitic blabbing his mouth away until someone kills him.  But the life of crime is so last decade anyway.  That's why I'm leaving this "MR" world.  I might be back to pop in just to say hello, but I doubt it.

Well lets see what I've done.  I was RHM, HSL, compititon planner, internal family position interviewer and not to mention I had to deal with basically ALL of the family problems when my CL was gone and I was damn proud to do it too.  And the only reason why I am never active in the streets is (not trying to offend roleplayers out there cuz there are some good ones just not lately) because it's all a bunch of shitty ass threads and a waste of time to read them. 

So let us summarise. You planned to rogue ever since the beginning, something you had been planning for, months, I assume? This grand master plan of yours was well, pretty shit evidently. So someone you trusted ratted you out, that jsut means you need to pick better people to associate yourself with. Infact, he definitely has some prestige for ratting a rogue out, who wants a rogue to run havok? Not me that's for sure.

Back to this master plan of yours. What did you end up accomplishing? Anything? Another argument for your plan being utter shit.

I look forward to you popping in just to say hello, that way, you can witness that no one gives a shit you left in the first place, and nobody values anything you do.

I find it hard to believe you were told you were the best, and you very clearly weren't the best. Just look what you did, and have done since. Jack shit.

I have no idea who this is but he sounds like he's a 12 year old cry baby to me.

I enjoyed speaking with Zerk and some of my ancestors worked with his, which was news to me up until just now. I'm not here to shit on the dead, but I would like to touch upon some of the things that Train Wreck spoke of in regards to getting ahead in This Thing of Ours and counter the grim landscape he's painted to some of the more impressionable aspiring Mafioso out there that might be looking to make a name for themselves and could be potentially discouraged by this speech

I'll use my own bloodline as I have in other speeches as a perfect example. My first ancestor to step upon these shores knew nothing of this way of life and nobody involved in it. He was armed with nothing but his wits, a strong desire to succeed, and devilishly good looks as anyone that knew of him can attest to. From there he learned the ropes, met some people willing to help him, worked to earn money and make a bit of a presence for himself, and was eventually given an opportunity to run a crew. That may not be the norm for everybody's Family Tree, but it's evidence that it does indeed happen contrary to what Train Wreck has described based on his own ancestors' experiences

My advice to anyone reading this would be that if you want to get ahead, do something that would indicate you're capable of leading. Not every generation is going to be granted that honor, but as your Family Tree grows, so will your connections, your knowledge, and your likelihood of getting ahead if that's something you aspire to. To believe that isn't possible is defeatist, again myself and my past ancestors who have also held positions in the Mafia being prime examples

That's not to say that what Train Wreck has described doesn't happen either. False senses of hope handed down by leaders, some of which intentionally dishonest for whatever reason or motive. Some leaders will just tell their people what they want to hear to keep them happy, dangling an imaginary carrot in front of them because they lack the leadership or spine to be blunt and honest with their people. Unfortunate but you will find that in nearly every business, legal or otherwise. 

In a nutshell, if you're new to This Thing of Ours, take what Train Wreck said with a grain of salt. Take what I said with a grain of salt as well. Not everyone will have the same experiences as Train Wreck nor the same opportunities as myself. But to suggest that all is hopeless is also not accurate so if anything, I hope I've expressed that adequately

I will break down Train_Wrecks little speech here.

Why is train_wreck so mad?

Well lets start off, he was known as zerk, He told everyone he was a brand new player, which -Premeir knew wasn't true, one day premeir asked him who mr-bean was. Little zerk broke down and told the truth, that he was the same person that tried to kill Premeir not that long ago.

Premeir being such a nice understanding fellow gave him a second chance, told him to do his best etc etc.

Zerk waited 2 weeks before fucking up, by telling a leader in my fine city to go fuck herself, mailed me saying how mad he was still in Dementors crew and how he was never on.

All bad things, but once I yelled at him, he told his friend how he was going rogue, I then shot him.

Instead of taking it like a man, he then claims, i have some connection to the Gods and used those connections to read his personel mail, and ease drop on his conversations...

I hope he never comes back, he wasn't worth shit then, he wasn't worth shit when I gave him a chance, and this proves he will never be worth shit

Ever

I love how you point out everything you did for the family you were in. That just makes it that much worse that you rogued, even though you were honored with all of that responsibility.

Whats this!? Oh its...Its...The hulkster is coming out of no where and he does not look happy! All the Hulk-A-Maniacs are on their feet screaming! He is waving his hand around trying to listen to all of them and yes...yes...he thinks they are all great. Every fan is getting a thumbs up in the streets today! Wait...Hulkster is staring down the emotional Train_Wreck! Hulkster snatches the soap box from a two bit gangster and begins to yell at the pat smear bloodline!

Let me tell you something brother "Train_Wreck" To come out here dude and completely say that the hulkster is not a legitamite wrestler is crap man! If you want a fight with me compadre then you just call me out...

It seems as if a pedesterian is actually filling in Hogan as to what Train Wreck was saying in the middle of the streets. Because none of it actually had to do with Hulkster his face turned as red as his cute Hulk-A-Mania t-shirt he was wearing. The hulkster needed to act fast because all the people in the streets started to get confused with what he was saying.

You know dude the fact that the crew leaders and that the godfathers of your ancestors told your blood that they need to work at something it is specifically because they havent earned it dude! You know man its quite simple really, To ask for something in the life of a mafioso is to be as low as the scum on my boot dude! If there are still little goons listening then listen closely little Hulk-A-Maniacs!

The hulkster pushes the Train Wreck off the soap box and begins to talk to the fans in the streets, on the rooftops and in the windows.

How proud would we be of our godfathers if we found out they asked for a position in a family?! You know my dudes its not about asking its about proving! Activity is the most essential thing in this life my dudes and dudettes! If you arent active and are complaining about life then you certainly dont deserve to be around here! This life that you live is about complete devotion! You cant get somewhere like where the current Godfathers are by being some half-assed mafioso who complains about something everytime it does not go their way my little hulk-a-maniacs.

Feeling somewhat accomplished Hogan stares at the wreck that started to look like a train wreck.

Dont stand here and pretend dude that you are some honorable person! I specifically remember your father talking bad about dementor in a coffee shop! Being who i was i changed the conversation to save everyone trouble you aren't a saint! You aren't perfect nor are you anytype of leader! you have yet to prove yourself dude if after three years you havent recieved leadership more than once! As my good friend the rock says dude, "KNOW YOUR ROLE!" Now because you showed disrespect in the level that you did i must show my strength off!

Hogan tears his shirt in half and begins pointing to Train Wreck. The crowd is chanting the people are crying they want a fight and thats what will happen...The hulkster grabs train wreck and throws him to the floor. The boy trys to hide but its to late Hogan darts toward him stomping on his legs. The twenty four inch pythons wrap around the skinny neck and begin to choke him out. Finally he carries the boy up a few stories on the rooftops of New York and suplexes him down. The streets go wild. The first ever wresetling match in the streets! Hogan picks up train wreck and scoop slams him to the floor. The crowd goes wild. It must be time for...It is a leg drop and its all over! Hogan goes for the pin. There is no referee! Hogan goes out of the streets looking for a referee.
