| The Guns of August: The Fall of Chicago | Started by: Sosabowski on Aug 21, '22 00:54 |

Today, our world has been rocked by two successive annihilation of two cities. Chicago, under the leadership of Godfather Chairman Illuminatiated, surprised the world with a sudden, brazen attack on the city of Detroit. Amidst the haphazard, disorganized slaughter, the powers of this world received official communiques outlining Chicago’s intentions to “expand” within Detroit. Perhaps they, given their demographic preponderance, felt constrained within the confines of Chicago, and decided to claim a stake in the ‘sister’ city and appropriate additional areas to expand their operations into. Possibly they had some legitimate grievances and interest in Detroit, which they felt unable to satisfy except with the force of arms, and most likely a combination of these two factors. If there were legitimate grievances, or even if simple expansion (the bread and butter of this world) was on their minds, they did not think it necessary to communicate their aims and intentions to the other powers of the land. It may have been felt that, given the recent loss of several preeminent leaders on other coasts, the likelihood of outside intervention in their expansionist plans had substantially decreased. If so, then history has taught them very little, and the Triple Alliance of Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Philadelphia quickly mobilized and rallied their forces, gathered information, and hastily developed a plan to neutralize both Chicago and their allies established in the recently conquered Detroit. One may call it retribution for the bold attack on HeadCoach, a great man by any measure, who had only so recently acquired the coveted position of Godfather, respected and loved by many — including those holding the reins of power. Equally, it would be correct to state that we considered the implications of these movements on the security of our own families, districts and cities, and in the end it was quickly decided that the continued existence of Chicago and their compatriots was an intolerable threat to our interests. To that end, they have been removed, in what will be remembered as a swift and mostly mishap-free takedown. Doubtless others will have their own interpretations of the events — and I’m sure we shall hear many of them in the days to come, as they always tend to do. In the end, such things matter little and are, ultimately, of no particular consequence. Events have been, and are being, set in motion, and more announcements will surely follow. For now, it should suffice to remember the fallen, and look towards the future. Thank you. |

The whole thing looked pretty foolish. Moving on DT was a silly willy thing to do like that, and poorly executed.
At least, Valinor is active now. I'm taking credit for that. You're welcome Philadelphia.

Valinor looked around on his desk for his war speech. He couldn't find it anywhere, and as he went to sit down and re-write he heard Sosabowski's deep voice adressing the masses. "The fuck?" Looking out onto the podium stood General Sosabowski with an absolutely enormous crowd in front of him, delivering the speech of his life. He couldn't help but have a small tear come to his eye. Thinking to himself how far Sosa had come in such a short time, ahh let him have his moment. He pulled his coat to cover his gun and headed out the building to catch the end of the speech, he stepped over some homeless man who'd found himself sleeping outside of the headquarters a lot lately and tossed him a quarter. |

Rest in peace Godfather Chairman Illuminatiated. There is nothing in my journals that states he wasn’t a good leader who didn’t care about his people. Evidently he didn’t have the clout he thought he had among the masses. Kudos to the members of Chicago, who stayed loyal, stood behind him even though they might not have completely agreed with his reasoning. Those who understand what it means to take an oath of loyalty, who understand the chain of command, followed orders and went down with the ship. May they all rest in peace with honor. |

Froste pulled his coat closer to his body. He stared at the ground as he listened to Sosabowski speak. He was unsure of the names he heard mentioned but felt the importance in Sosabowski's tone.
The man shuffled awkwardly as he raised his gaze from the ground to glance around at the crowd around him, being careful to not make eye contact with any one person. After a few moments, he found himself staring at the feet in front of him yet again.
As the speech came to a close he muttered a quiet "Rest in peace to those fallen." Before making his way out of the street. His gun against his hip was a grim reminder to the life in which he lived. |

"An excellent telling, Mr Sosabowski. Decisions like these are not easy to come to. Ultimately I think is the right one. Many of us here had friends in both Chicago and Detroit that are now no longer with us. Friends who helped rebuild society and lay down a foundation we can all build... not me of course. Detroit were a city who promoted an incredibly unhealthy and dangerous lifestyle and at times it was very hard to watch. I am thankful that I now run the most premier athletic Mafia Basketball team left in the World (Even if we are down to two players). One day we will host the Head Coach Memorial All Star Tournament (HCMAST) in memory of my great nemesis Chicago should not be forgotten either. Godfather Illuminatiated should be praised for how he changed the scene in Chicago with the help of Jarrick and Mark. If I ignore the blatant horse murdering that occured in the city, I think we can all agree that Chicago really were Very Nice People." |

When did the mob start explaining things clearly? Rudy asked himself as he listened to Sosabowski's stolen speech. I know HeadCoach always drilled my great-grandfather, who helped him survive when he was still Get open, claim the ball, miss the shot. It had become a standard routine back in the day and it was definitely nice to see the ideology has spread out over the streets. Stepping forward, Rudy added a simply line Thank you for the explanation, Sosabowski. |

DLZ is at the back of a large crowd of mobsters and civilians, smoking a cigar gifted to him by Don Hobbs. "Blood everywhere, not good for business!" |
