Good day ladies and gentlemen of the six cities. It has been an extremely long week for many of us and now that the final man that aimed at us lays dead, it is time to catch up on rest and mourn for the fallen on both sides of this long and bloody conflict.

On April 27th, almost 6 hours past midnight a rogue operation was launched from cities all across America. I had been in contact with my cell of twigs & Moonlight and we had decided with our other splinter groups across the country to move at 5 hours and 45 minutes on the hour. We had made communication with the other groups and were assigned targets based on the notches on our guns. 

We had an idea of the scale of destruction and had been feeling good going forward, but many of us knew it was a suicide mission. While we had plenty of people who were expert marksman, we had little in the way of protectors or even allied or friendly crew leaders. We had initially assumed after the majority of Godfathers in the game had been murdered in their sleep, the others would try to call for a truce, or some would flip to our side, but we did not want anyone to aid us in the end. We had decided to collectively agree on one thing. Fuck the fence sitters.

After 9 long days of fighting, we have prevailed. The rogues, or now, victors, have taken heavy losses among their ranks and are sad to have mourned so many great men and women who had made the ultimate sacrifice. Knowing that going in, you would most likely end up dead in some hours, but deciding to do it anyways.. Well, to me, it takes a strong or even stupid person to agree to those terms. I was a little worried personally before it was time to march. I had thought myself to be selfish and didn’t want to die, but I quickly overcame the fear for the greater good of myself and the people I would soon work with for 8 perilous days.

In the end, we felt we did what we must. After we saw the murder of Coldhands with no apparent reason, we felt it could happen to anyone. Coldhands had been very open with his crew leader, Puzzled. In the end, the late Deku had pushed for Coldhands to die despite pretending to be his friend. It was at that point many of us realized that we would have to do something.. Or maybe it was a one off?

When I awoke one day to a telegram from a friend “MINOTAUR & PROFESSOR MURDERED” It woke me up very quickly. Minotaur was a long time friend of mine and my blood for many years. A mentor to many and perhaps the nicest person in the mafia, not to mention his insane ability at trivia. It was a travesty to see him murdered. But why? Professor had also been murdered without much clue.

I later received a telegram stating that the son of Professor had spoken to Godfather RL Stine about his father’s death and it was “Pushed from outside the city”. He asked who would push for such a thing but Stine was reluctant to speak. Eventually it was revealed that Fluffiest Tummy had been a person pushing for the death of Minotaur and Professor.

Enough was enough for me. I had spoken privately to Moonlight and twigs who both agreed with me. We reached out to the other bodyguard shooters about what a possible recourse was and it was agreed upon that we will try and likely fail, but damage the regime enough that a new era will be put upon the country.

Others agreed and we planned our final moment as April 27th at 5:45. That was when all the splinter groups would aim their guns at mostly sleeping leaders across the country and try to change the tide of power. Our motto was simple. FTFS. Fuck the fence sitters. So many leaders watched people get murdered and just thought to themselves “Oh, well it isn’t my member” And just moved on with their life. Fence sitting can be lethal.

In the end, we overcame the powers that be. Through relentless fighting and the refusal to die, a handful of the initial twenty came through. I am lucky to be speaking here given so many of my brothers and sisters paid the ultimate price. Sleepless nights, thinking about our dead friends, constantly watching our backs against the guns of Circle, Bebe and Freyja. Many of us at some point were simply not protected anymore and could be hunted down. With luck, determination and simply put, stronger willpower, we deflected bullets.. Or that’s how it felt like. Bebe had missed a clean shot at point blank at me and protected me. Godmother Freyja the same on Gremlin, leading to her death. Eren missing another point blank shot at Gremlin gave us much motivation, it was even greater when twigs didn’t miss on Eren just seconds later.

I had been the one to kill the first man of the night, Tipper. And 9 days later, I would be the one to kill the last one of the war, Caveman.

In the end, I would like to honor all of my fallen comrades.
 

This is by no means everyone who fought, but just the majority of the guns who aided the revolution.

The men and women on both sides of this conflict fought with everything they had. I can only pay my respects to the fallen on both sides of the conflict. God rest your souls.
 

As much as you like to claim Coldhands, Professor, and Minotaur as Three martyrs for your cause, they’re martyrs because of the actions of Sinaya and Diogenis’s actions in early February and Dominick’s in March, rather than of an oppressive regime. It was clear that your Group would not be backing off an objective, revenge for the loss of their prior regime and the Big Bad Man.

The deaths of the Three are a result of accountability towards the actions of their allies. It is something that you should recognize. You are part of a Group. If your friends do something, you are liable. It’s not about V-Day. It’s not about Minotaur’s self-righteous line shooting their GFC at the time, Tetley, to avenge Lush, with Vladimir’s line turning on his own city concurrently. Well, okay, maybe it is. Maybe that was the moment that set the tone for the next seven years, but perhaps we can discuss that another time. Though today, it can be about recent history.

Many others you’ve mentioned were in hand positions, and being left alone by leaders. But your Group preyed on their faith that your friends, individually, might act differently, if their real identities were known. The great action you all took helped further prove that if one is not part of your Group, their outside friendships are really meaningless, and should be reconsidered highly in future because clearly, it’s a major liability. It’s always been common knowledge that if you’re not in your group, you’re out. People resent that justly.

Would Coldhands have rogued? Would Minotaur and Professor have tried to kill Fluffiest who they have a mutual Lust for? It really doesn’t matter exactly what those Three would have done. In the end, they would’ve acted with their Group outside of their respective crews when the time came for a coup or another attempt at revenge, just how Dominick, Sinaya, and Diogenis had done with the same aforementioned Group.

Vladimir and Valinor preyed on SammySoul’s trust, as Vlad’s line tends to do by buying a casino or funding a leader or crew. He doesn’t offer much to the table outside of that, one trick pony. Puzzled and Eren both allowed SammySoul to allow this despite warnings because of their faith in SammySoul. For a guy like Sammy who wronged neither of them, his fate warrants some pity from everyone. Darkening was trusted dearly by Circle-of-Fire. Wendy was also trusted dearly by Goldbrick. Lots of good that did them. Surely, there were some other friendships marred.

People did not want to be “Curtis.” However, while it is not necessary to kill everyone at 40 days old like he and his were known for, it is important for a regime to remove threats from a Group “at the bottom” so that they may not attempt a coup, especially those who are known. This was the past regime’s failure. It’s something your Group’s lineage is also well-versed in. Your line itself used to pride itself on ill-begotten bloodline information to try to maintain a regime.

Evidently, this was long planned, and the past regime was right to try to remove threats from your Group, but unfortunately, they were very forgiving towards your Group, too much so. It’s obvious by the positioning of certain people like say Jackal that there was mischief afoot and planted. Even if such known-rogue plants were not related to your Group the entire time, a regime must be vigilant, and take action. This last one did not. Such is how things played out. Oh well.  

There is no innocence on either side in history, but it’s immature to ignore your Group’s past sins. Today isn’t story time for that. Minotaur, Coldhands, and Professor all had it coming to them though. The murder of Three assumed threats to a regime in your mind means that an entire regime is a bunch of “fence sitters.” In reality, those Three were only Three eggs cracked for a cake that required a dozen. The regime ended up with some pretty shitty cake because of it.

The Three eggs weren’t trusted, simple as that. You can whine and moan and cry and pretend they’re victim, but really, your continued actions as a Group proved the point. Your Group is not a Group of victims. It is a Group of predators that wail and whimper when they don’t get their way. Even when you do, you still whimper and wail and bemoan the horrors and crimes done by people trying to prevent being usurped. It’s a bit ridiculous. You’ll surely be committing what you define as murders soon enough against perceived terrorists towards your supremacy.

My line shot Lilith last year as revenge. Lilith should’ve shot first. If it wasn’t going to be him, it would’ve been someone in his Group doing it anyway. He, himself, had shot Giullia, which obviously warranted an action. He knew the significance of the shot. Moreover, he dicked around some other friends of mine who were loyal to him. He did not respond to my line for a month after that, but he had plenty of time for his Group. That doesn’t make someone feel safe. Frankly and additionally, the idea of getting PoisonIvy killed by breaking the link to Lilith was juicy because of the slander she had spewed about a supposed mutual friend of Lilith, a friend he had killed. Despite being in Vegas at the time, KingPitt’s line isn’t historically treated as a valuable member of your group, only by Lilith. It’s called strategy, same as you all have done in the past and now. The shot wasn’t about anything other than that despite the unfortunate timing, which I recognize and empathize, but This world doesn’t stop.

That said, I’d eat those consequences any day, sunny side up. No Salt. Just pepper. How does this Group like their eggs? Custom omelets for all or do you all order the same? Eat it and own it with a smile. No crocodile tears at the table, but there’ll be plenty of seconds or Thirds.

The world is a cyclical. We’ve all seen it. One on top. One on the bottom. Another on top, the other on the bottom. Two sides of a coin. Oil and water. Shake it up. A revenge and strategy driven world. It’s best not to take it personally, but please do look in the mirror. You’ll find a hypocrite who should be trying this lame propaganda elsewhere. This speech of yours would have been more genuine if you had said it was a bus crash.

That said, very well played on the war and the strategy, but in the future, hopefully, people remember your Group’s actions, just as vividly as you remember Mine.

Thank you for delivering this speech, Giorgio-Esposito. I would personally feel something was amiss if DickBrewer wasn't specifically named as one of the valiant defenders. He made the first day extremely difficult for us, and through a brief correspondence with him during the war, I see him as nothing but honourable and well mannered. He deserves every bit of recognition from both sides.

Thank you for your words Dmitry, but I feel they are wasted. It is very clear Spike is a sociopath who's words are just said to be said. Something to convince himself of his own insecurities. I remember I was once like that, but I was lucky to find people to pull me out of such a downward spiral. Unfortunate for him that he had no friends of his own to do the same. I'm truly sorry to see someone so sick and demented on our streets, but I don't have the medical expertise to help him.

twigs thank you!! I of course didn't mean to exclude Don Brewer. I had a long night and kept thinking and thinking but my brain hadn't caught up to my thoughts yet. I apologize to the kin of DickBrewer, they were very much a respectable member of society during the conflict and caused my team many headaches! A lot of respect for someone who did so much damage.

Dmitry, Professor would not have been much good at that time in the war with Sinaya, but I know that he would’ve liked to help or at least get people to help. Pickpocketing uppers, at a very inopportune time, is primarily what got Professor killed by Detroit, despite any other pressures.

Your line is young, but I am sure you are familiar already with the concept of grouping. I don’t really know you myself or your line in a personal manner, only what I’ve been told, the same as you have been told about me.

You may be right about Professor, Minotaur, and Coldhands. People sending out anonymous codes for a month about Ace being incognito and having a giant gun that was going to kill Macarena did not help him. Sinaya and Dio going off didn’t help him… Dominick going off didn’t help him. The other people who jumped in to help the aforementioned aggressors, didn't help the case of keeping the Three alive.  

Professor stood by RL Stein, but what would have been the breaking point? When Professor had his own ability to do something? Perhaps, perhaps not. As for Minotaur, if Detroit had nothing on him other than his line, that’s unfortunate and definitely helped galvanize your cause. But in terms of Professor and Coldhands, there was more about it than just their bloodlines. That said, Coldhands himself, may have done nothing wrong. I've found he's no piece of shit so to speak, but someone other than those in power was definitely trying to set him up for failure. 

I do not know who George Michael is.

Giorgio-Esposito, I appreciate your choice words for me. I can taste the tangy SALT tickle my turgid towering tongue. Thank you a thousand times.

I’d like to see someone try to play a game of chess without some sociopathy. I’d like to assume that you are in fact a different person from the ones of your past. I’d like to think that perhaps I’m wrong and sick and demented for saying that you are a hypocrite. I’d like to sit alone with myself with no friends and watch you all be happy and hold hands, but I am far from alone or wanting for company. This is not the nature of this world. It never has been. It never will be. White must make the first move, and black must defend it. Offense and defense, round and round it goes in a spiral, up and down, not always downward depending on your point of view at given time.

Frankly, if you truly believe the ridiculous words you speak, you are the one that should seek medical help for your delusions. If the medical professional deems the "new-you" of sound mind, join a knitting club because this world will chew you up just as it has to others who believe in the same ideals unfortunately.

It is fact that this is a dog-eat-dog world, and I cannot really believe you to be in denial of that fact other than for Public Relations reasons given your concern of your group’s image. It's better to be a realist than a shitty contradictory politician. What you want to campaign on, inherently given the nature of the mechanics and practicality of the world, you cannot deliver. Now in office, let's see you eat your words some day when you start having to make consequential decisions. Ta.   

Thank you very much Don Esposito for this lovely speech. A phenomenal breakdown of one of the greatest wars this thing of ours has ever seen.

I wouldn't worry too much about the crying from some people, that comes with the territory of being the victor. Everyone from every side of every war wants to be the one in the "right". "Look at my dead father, look how they wronged him!!"  There is no right and wrong when it comes to this thing of ours. Nearly everyone is a bloodthirsty murderer, gunning down people in the streets day and night.

No, there is no right and wrong. There is only who wins. There is only who's left.

Thank you Don Esposito for sparing a moment of your time to elaborate on the event that transpired. The last hegemony chose to remain reticent on circumstances that affected the community so it's refreshing to see that transparency is prioritized among current leaders.

As an onlooker, I completely understand why this move was necessary. You and the others felt that your hands were forced and, after hearing the attitude towards your bloodline from descendants of the past regime, the decision proved to be the right one. 

Great war, judiciously planned and definitely became a battle of wits toward the end. Rest in peace to all of the fallen.

Alucard. No tears are wept. All I would ask is some realism. I agree with you mostly.  As you said, there is no right and wrong when it comes to this thing of ours. There is only who wins.

Be that as it may, no one should be intentionally delusional over what they are, even if it's for the sake of propaganda. This is a world based on placement and strategy. It always plays out the same. The bottom. The top. Fucked or Fuckee. Suck it up Princess. We all do at some point or another. It's just a matter of swallowing it and taking on another. 

Same old arguments every time.

As much as we, residents in this world, try and give people 'fresh out the boat' a clean slate there is only one reality.

You are your father/mother. If your bloodline is known for being a snake there is a pretty good chance the next generation will be a snake as well.

History tells a story, and with some bloodlines here the story is always the same.

What if your bloodline came funky fresh off the boat and is known for being a coach or a newspaper editor or aggressively muscular or just a really insane basketball player with a bunch of wild tricks that make people go crazy

Does your 'one reality' account for that

I havent put much thought into the multiverse and how that affects my 'one reality' yet.

Maybe next year.

Thank you for your constructive criticism rip2.

Coach, it is an honor to see you here today sir. It's such a strange thing to want to know absolutely everything about ones bloodline. "Oh you will end up doing X, because your great grandfather 12 years ago did it too".

Mental gymnastics. I wish the Olympics would add in such a category, many members of our great community would be gold medalists easily.

As much as we, residents in this world, try and give people 'fresh out the boat' a clean slate there is only one reality.

I would tend to disagree. Everyone is different from their parent. An ancestor of mine worked his way up in the late Godfather Sisyphus' crew and ended up becoming his left hand man, and eventually beluga was given a position as a leader of New York, only to be gunned down a day later unfortunately. Godfather Chairman Dagda and Godfather Sisyphus had no reason to trust my ancestor, other than the fact of, he was a loyal member of their city.

 History tells a story, and with some bloodlines here the story is always the same.

Not even remotely true. Could you please name all the bloodlines you know who's stories are "Always the same"? I can't even think of one, not even people I consider enemies to my own line to be always the same in how they act. It is a bit of a awful statement without anything else.

Take HeadCoach for a good example. I didn't know his parents or his lineage. I just respected his street presence and willingness to get things done, not to mention my nephew FrizzleFry was acting as his assistant. Do I care what his bloodline is? No, absolutely not. Do I care what his bloodline did in the past? No, absolutely not.

Coach is just an example of many. He's a good man who I find a very vibrant part of our community. People like the good coach are needed. Otherwise you just get pencil necked nerds coming to the streets spouting absolute nonsense.
