There is a lot of lying going on right now. A lot of manipulation and misinformation. I am here to put a stop to it with finality by providing you, the people, with the FACTS about what happened this week and beyond. My sources, from both sides, are credible and reliable. I'm not going to use half truths and buzzwords to try to win you - I'll tell you straight, and you decide for yourselves where the guilt lies.

To get an idea of the full scope of the betrayal and manipulation that has happened, we have to go back to the night that Dagda and Qui-Gon-Jinn were betrayed by their brother in arms Buttercup. It's common knowledge that all three of those men were burnt out and considering retirement. In the immediate aftermath, it seemed Buttercup had just wanted to go out with a bang and some fun - but the events that follow have revealed an ulterior motive.

Directly after the attack, which was specifically targeted on the closest allies of Qui and Dag, "intel" came forward that Chicago intended to assist Bella Vista in their attack on New York. Without any proof or confirming with his Godfather Dan, Le-Semois took matters into his own hands by shooting Tyrion, thereby drawing Chicago into the fight. Discussions between Dan and Flowah revealed that while Buttercup had indeed asked her for help, she had turned him down immediately. The intel was bad, and the reason Tyrion died was personal vendetta unrelated to the war - same with Zeitgeist.

Shortly after this, Le-Semois attempted to acquire a safelist pass for one Invicta - fifteen minutes after a witness statement of him proing BrandonHeat surfaced in the war room. Le-Semois started tripping over his words, first saying Invicta hadn't proed anyone, then backtracking and claiming he would turn sides. Suspicions were aroused and an ulterior motive became clear to some.

It seems that buttercup was convinced by his captain and uppers that the ideal plan to go out with a bang could also serve the purpose of putting their friends in a position to seize power afterwards. It came to light that both Le-Semois and Macarena knew about the Bella Vista hit before it happened - leading one to believe that they were the masterminds feeding the plan to their minions in Bella Vista. 

Things continued to smell fishy throughout the evening as the cities counter attacked Bella Vista. Chicago leaders continued to die mysteriously after they were declared safe by the godfathers. Macarena was made a GF RHM in NY despite not being from the city and not assisting in the fight against Bella Vista. Whispers began in Dan's ear to try to turn him against his closest friends.

Fast forward to Friday night, when the Chicago take down took place. The reasons Dan gave are honorable, but irrelevant - the reason for the war was Le-Semois and Macarena's personal dislike of Flowah and Chicago and their incessant whispering in Dan's ear. However, not all went to plan, as there was an alleged leak from the war room and Le-Semois was shot by Flowah before the attack.

Here is where we start to get really slimy.

Macarena and his cronies immediately attempted to pin a leak of war plans on Geralt - with a glaring hole - Dan never informed Geralt of the plans, and Geralt was busy hunting Wyverns in a distant land. With haste, the blame was moved to Rorschach, then Toast, then KingRevan - anyone connected to the old regime that they could scapegoat.

It seems much more likely that the leak, if it even happened, came from their camp. Accidental of course, these things happen. But rather than dwell on it they used it to manipulate the situation and create a cover-up, attempting to discredit their internal enemies to Dan and thereby turning him on them.

I can exclusively reveal that Flowah, having been on edge since the murder of her two fellow Chicago Godfathers, had been receiving multiple anonymous tips throughout the day. When the activity numbers surpassed 175 people - an obviously large number - she saw the writing on the wall and shot first. Being more intelligent than anyone credits her for, Flowah shot at Le-Semois, knowing he would be the one taking the shot on her rather than Dan and therefore be located in Chicago with her.

Fast forward a bit again until after the Chicago war. 

Rumors were swirling all around both from and about Macarena. Dan was receiving messages from all directions, not least of which from Dagda's former auth and captain, Luis_Patangelli, who claimed that he was very upset about Macarena getting a district. He threatened to step down from his role should he not be given Bronx.

This was a farce intended to fool Dan into saying something that would justify his removal by Bronx. It has been revealed that Luis was never loyal to Dagda or Dan, only to his puppeteer. Shameful.

Dan, having grown weary of all the manipulation and being stuck in a "cold war" within New York, decided to leave this life permanently. This obviously immediately created a ripple through our world as everyone with a brain knew Macarena would try to seize the city. Once again, he acted through his puppet LP, who reached out to Rorschach and Geralt, claiming to have wanted Macarena dead. This is important to know - claims have been made that Geralt/Betty/Ror had DEMANDED Macarena's head - it was not so. LP reached out to them, not vice versa. It seemed all were in agreement with that idea - LP, Ror, and Mojito would shoot Bronx and restore the city to it's honorable roots.

Alas, it was not to be, as LP turned out to be a double agent, fishing for things he could relay to his masters, to be spun and manipulated into falsehoods.

And here we are now. The glorious alliance of Sinaya and Diogenis, knowing they would be the next to be thrown under the bus and lied about, decided to take initiative and remove the cancer that had infected New York. Sadly, Macarena and Paradise had re-upped their pros after the Rorschach murders, indicating that they were indeed intending to do more killing last night, once all had gone to bed. They still sit on those pros, declining to make any effort to kill their assailants, allowing the other cities to chase them and die, because it only strengthens their position in the aftermath. This is their status quo, we have seen it many times. Do nothing, wait it out, let others do the work, and pounce on the ashes.

  It is always the same duplicated story, of paranoia and deceit. shakes her head and walks away tired of the same ol story being told over and over again.

Your disrespect towards my Godmother will not be forgotten.  For a mere Thug to imply she was not and is not capable of protecting those who call her city home is of the upmost dishonor for someone from our shores.

Here are the facts:

1. Diogenis and Sinaya were paranoid.

2. They rogued

3. They and everyone that supports them will die.

End of story.

I think I can speak for this entire community when I say I hope that at some point the good guys or the bad guys through some demonstrable means reach a point at which one side is declared the victor. 

We clearly disagree on what dishonor means, dear Gina. 

And you are clearly missing the entire point, as a known slimelicker you obviously won't hear a word of evidence against your master.

I've got nothing against Belle at all. She's a wonderful person and leader. She's perfectly capable of protecting her people. But that won't stop her from being slimed when her use expires, just as it would not save Sinaya and Diogenis.

Feel free to send me the logs of evidence you have.  I have an open mind, but as Sinaya said herself on these very streets she:

1. Paranoid
2. She Rogued

You can spin things however you want, but the city leads apparently agree with my interruption of what is and is not honorable.

Hey Macarena - was this a relative of yours?  The thing is, you were once the lackey, but now you think you're the jockey.  But you've proven yourself dodgy, and so won't be seen trustworthy.  So many people wanting you dead is bound to make you nervy.  

Anyone but Them.

We shall start to hold public rallies soon! Peaceful protests, but maybe bring a gun and call it self-defense! Wear a mask and maybe we can all Get Inside the Animals too!

Mark Yourself Disloyal in Silent Protest!

Even the Weak can have Strength.

Such broad generalizations are inane and anti-discussion. Which logs and evidence do you require? I referenced a great many evidences, surely you don't require logs for them all? Unless you're hoping to uncover my sources and use them as more fodder for the misinformation campaign?

1. She had damn good reason to be. Had she not shot she would be dead. This is clear.

2. Roguing is a matter of perspective. Freedom isn't free.

"City leads" will always take the easiest route and asses the aftermath in this situation - this is obvious to anyone who has lead cities. You don't join the side that is clearly on a suicide mission. This absolutely does NOT mean they agree with your...interruption.

Her paranoia and lack of trust and respect for Belle were her only reasons, as she herself stated on the streets.  If you call that good well... we seem to be at an impasse.

Seems like she said more than that, but okaythen

As do I Grog. Including such gems as: -

"As much as I really don't want to work with spike I think I need to entertain him for a bit." - LuisPatangeli

"I have to play nice with spike now though until I can figure out who is friends with him and giving him info." - LuisPatangeli

"Also he got a cred saying Dio and 303 is gonna wipe us" - LuisPatangeli

And these were just last night's excerpts.

So either LP was intending on removing Spike - and PH - at his earliest opportunity or he was playing a game of slime with Spike. Judging by last night's performance, I know where I'm placing my bet.

Catchy slogan, Superman. TWBTRASTTBTWATFAWTS for short.

Claudius, know anyone who can get that on a t-shirt for me?

I knew a good tailor of oversized suits once but I fear he is in the wind. However, I am quite delighted Superman reminded me of my famous expression about war:

"Those Who Reach Demonstrable Conclusions to Battle Are The Victors, That's True. But Those Who Perish Are Worse Than Alive. (They Are Dead)."

Gnash roams around the streets looking for something interesting to fuel his entertainment.  He gets delighted by the sounds of bickering in the streets.  Could it be a fight brewing?  There was only one way to find out, so Gnash makes his way towards the confrontation.  Looking both ways before crossing the road, he notices a car coming his way.  The car slows to a stop to let Gnash cross.  Gnash bows his head at the car and proceeds across the street to get closer to the action.

As Gnash closes in, the inaudible voices become comprehendible.  He stands against one of the light posts and pays close attention to what everyone is saying.  As he was listening, from time to time he would shake his head in disbelief, shrug his shoulders in question and nod his head in agreement.

When the crowd seemed to quiet down a bit, Gnash stands on a postbox and clears his throat loudly to get everyone's attention.

*AHEM*

People turned towards Gnash and waited for him to speak.  "Thank you for your attention, folks.  I hope you're all doing okay this evening.  I know in recent events, you would all like to know the actual truth," Gnash said loud and clear.

Gnash looked around and seen that he had all eyes on him and everyone quieted down so they could hear him and continued.  "Well, folks, the truth is..."

*BELCH*

Gnash lets out a huge burp and pumps his hand in the air.  "That's exactly what happened."  Gnash bows and jumps off the postbox and walks off into the distance.

Hunter makes his way down the streets, dead bodies and carnage scattered the sidewalks. This was his first day in town, he had no idea of what destruction had come before him. The streets looked bare aside from a few roughed up looking people spouting off about the recent happenings.

It became apparent that he needed to make some friends of his own, for his own security. But he didn't know a soul here. He had very little to offer any potential new friends but he was willing to work hard and try his best for them in whatever they needed. 

Is anyone going to clear up this mess? There's shit everywhere.

As with any conflict or decision of such significance there will always be two sides to the story and the grey bit in the middle.

The left and the right will always dispute the facts, what was said, what they know was said and what they think was said. 

This chapter is now, in theory, closed.

Yes, we should certainly always learn from our mistakes and our victories alike, but right now we have a world struggling to house it's homeless and the last thing we need them to see is a world still fighting over the past.

We must now put this to one side, get the stabilisers on and ensure we rebuild this world into a prosperous place to be. War is not good for business and that is what we are here for.
