Why this war is raging on. Started by: VVheeler on May 03, '22 09:40
@VVheeler, one of the many results of @Wheeler going forth and multiplying, as was a part of his mission on earth, takes up his father's post on the dais of the church dedicated to him. VVheeler was Wheeler's spiritual successor and decided to step in and take up his fathers mantle of spiritual leadership whilst we all wait upon his fathers resurrection.

"My Children. Many of you have stated that you do not know why this war is taking place. As a leader of this community, even my father didn't know as much as he would have liked. But allow me to shine what light I can on this entire situation for you all.

On the morning of the twenty seventh of April, my father awoke to the sound of a gunshot and found a bullet hole right next to his head. By some grace of god, @Assertive had missed his shot, from point blank range, whilst my father was still fast asleep.

Other pillars of our community, from @CLO, @Lincoln_Lawyer, @SatoruGojo, @ShinigamiK, @Puzzled, @SammySoul, @Humpty, @Heston, @Voodoo, @Plagueguy and more did not find themselves so blessed. Unfortunately that first few hours had found them particularly holey, if not exactly holy.

Alas, whilst such a death toll would usually have resulted in the quick clean up and replacement of the old regime, the Rogues had failed to do enough damage to the old regime before they could mount a resistance. (This fact made worse still by the fact the survivors from the old regime spent the first few hours watching themselves and their cities continue to be shot at. Not entirely sure what was happening and what to do in response.)

Once the old regime did mount a resistance, it very quickly became a battle of attrition between the two forces. This battle still rages on."

VVheeler coughs, before looking over his father's assembled flock.

"The Cassus Belli, or reason for this war, claimed by the rogues is as such. The old Regime was purging. Whilst they themselves are prime examples of how this regime wasn't purging, I will still give their arguments the attention they require.

The old regime wasn't purging. My father, Wheeler was a prime example of the old regime not purging. My bloodline has had little, if any, to do with the leaders of the old regime in Chicago and Detroit in the past. Yet he was given the opportunity to run his own family.

The rogues themselves, you will find, had spent long enough in this thing of ours, in the families of those accused of purging, to aquire large enough guns to shoot through the hordes of bodyguards employed by the old leadership.

The rogues cite the deaths of Minotaur and Professor as examples of the regime purging. I can confirm, with one hundred percent certainty, that they were both killed as suspects in the death of Taraji. It had nothing to do with the potential sizes of their guns or of their bloodlines.

Apparently, the old regime were then going to purge @Martini. I cannot speak as to the truth behind this, but I doubt it. Afterall, as I say, the regime wasn't purging to my fathers knowledge.

So there you have it my children. That is the war as i understand it and as my father understood it."

VVheeler once again looks over his assembled faithful.

"Those of you who would remain faithful to the old regime, @Circle-of-fire, @Caveman, @Bebe and @Insomnia are still fighting the good fight. Go forth and offer your services to them. In these dark days, as we teeter upon the razors edge of a descent into darkness, the side of righteousness can use all the help it can get.

Rumour has it that friends and relatives of the slain are flying out from the old country in droves. Help them in their efforts to restore order to our lands.

May the Lord, Wheeler, have mercy on your souls."

I can confirm, with one hundred percent certainty, that they were both killed as suspects in the death of Taraji.

This intrigues me, because the information I was provided with is that Taraji wrote a GF thread and was then executed for requesting compensation for Banzai, who was accused of leaking ShinigamiK's pro time when Dom was avenging his fallen friends - unbeknownst to Taraji. According to my sources, a WS request was sent out, but this was done to cover the events which are suspected to have taken place.

Whilst I am unable to substantiate these claims, it is what I was told at the time, so I am interested to see how this will play out.

Clifford, whilst I can't say that the information you recieved is wrong, I do know that a lot of effort was put into working out who was around at the time of Tarajis shooting, a hitlisting of a member of detroits upper structure, and multiple bodyguard checks on upper structure following these two events.

After multiple events which were linked together, both Minotaur and Professor were decided to be the most likely suspects and subsequently shot.

Whilst it may have just been a particularly complex cover up, I don't believe they would go to such lengths to justify it.

This is a bit of a sweeping statement, could you expand?

 

What multiple events?

How were they linked?

Why were those two in separate districts put together?

 

Would appreciate a bit more clarity

I cannot verify this, but I heard it was because somebody lost a bet and could not eat just 1 Lays potato chip.

I do know that a lot of effort was put into working out who was around at the time of Tarajis shooting, a hitlisting of a member of detroits upper structure, and multiple bodyguard checks on upper structure following these two events.

Those were the events in question. Regarding how they were linked together, both had been repeatedly sighted in the vicinity of the events or were known to be actively engaged in this thing of ours around the time of the events taking place. 

Whilst we can't guarantee with one hundred percent certainty that both of the two, or either of the two were responsible, the decision was made based on the evidence we could aquire. And a risk assessment was made. The solution to the threat, as is usually the case, was to remove the suspected threats.

Alas, it seems we didn't remove enough of them.

Neither Minotaur nor professor were awake when Taraji was murdered. Kind of hard to murder one while you're sleeping.

Until now I thought this raging war was because Martini slipped something in our drinks!

I can only go off of the information I was provided. Minotaur and Professor were both listed as suspects, and both shot for it. If that wasn't the case, then I leave it to you all to work out what was.

Still, Minotaur and Professor were not the point of my coming out here. People asked why this war was occurring, I shared my understanding.

If you would like to take the opportunity to tell us all your version of events, be my guest. Whilst Wheeler was all knowing, I, unfortunately, am not.

Your kin will die every time they think this shit is okay. You'll get slapped down. Every. Single. Time.

That's the thought process that put you in this shitshow to begin with.

The more you continue the more apparent it becomes that your father was kept in the dark. A little embarrassing don't cha think?

Report Post Tip
Whambulance, I'm all for selectively removing threats. There is a great difference between mass purging and removing people you genuinely find untrustworthy or suspect.

If these rogues have done this just so that in sixty days the descendants of the people they have killed can reclaim their places, then what was the point of it all?

I may have been kept in the dark, but let's be honest, it was none of my business. Much like EventHorizon, who wanted to bitch about not being told who was being made, there are some things I did not need to know.

What leads to a different city than my own killing two of its members? None of my business and none of my concern. My family members weren't purged. That's all I need to concern myself with.

It is evident this is not strictly about purging as way too many did not partake in purging. I don't think it matters much now. What has been done is done. And it needs to run its course. Besides, if this shit show as described did not happen when it did, a war was in the makings. And ironically, some who are aware of this fact are still walking amongst us asking to have their asses saved by those they intended to wipe out. 

As the world turns.

I don't know what you're even talking about anymore but staying informed makes a competent leader. Ignorance leads to making uninformed decisions like having your kin side in a war he knows nothing about and make a fool of himself in the streets sharing his clueless perspective.

Khree, a competent leader? I'm sorry, you're just a lowly thug right now. The same as the vast majority of this thing of ours. You're no more a competent leader than anyone else.

I came out here to share what I understood about the war. If you know more, be my guest and educate us all. Otherwise, off you fuck sunshine.

Too many gobshites, too little time.

Firstly, the title doesn't make the leader either numbskull. Secondly, why you pressing me for information? The explanation was given down the road. I worry for your future VVheeler but I'm not going to hold your hand on this any longer. Continue to tow the line as you see fit but spare us from your journey.

Gobshites. Gobshites everywhere.

The first half way interesting thing happens in god knows how long and you do what? Zigggy Hiding in a container crew while people fight and die for the future of this thing of ours? Clearly you were a pillar of this community too.

And there we have a thug calling himself a leader. In the words of the most important bloodline to ever grace these shores... Are you OK son?
