Godfather Roman | Started by: JesseJames on Oct 17, '11 06:51 |
Its pretty obvious why were all gathered here today for so ill cut to the chase
Godfather Roman,
I’ll start by saying that what you’ve accomplished cannot be put into words.
It started with all of the odds placed against you, nobody including myself thought that you’d survive the initial onslaught. There were so many cards against us early on, but by sheer persistence you would stand strong. Approximately a year later, here we are, and you’ve accomplished what no one person in the history of the mafia has. I can go on and on about your accomplishments, but I don’t have that kind of time. Let’s start by getting a bit personal, shall we?
When this all started about a year ago, I won’t sit here and lie to anyone…I hardly knew you, and what I had learned about you Roman I didn’t like. Over the past year getting to know you has been quite a joy, like every RHM/GF tandem we have our ups and downs. It’s taken time to get used to one another since clearly we think differently, which brings me to another thing I should be thanking you for. Since the times of FlyingPig and Anita I have not learned more about the mafia business than I have with you. The knowledge I have gained through watching you run Chicago is honestly priceless, you’re beyond a great mind, you’re a special Mafioso. The more I’ve gotten to know you the more I appreciate you not only as a Mafioso, but more importantly as a friend. Thank you for your wisdom, again…it is honestly priceless.
As for your reign on top, all I can say is who would have thought?! With unbelievably powerful families already in power…who rises from the rubble? None other than yourself and your band of merry men and women. The man everyone thought would be dead within a few weeks. I think against all odds is an understatement. The process was very gradual like many successful businesses. Like many of us you are a product of the great Deimne, and from Deimne you rose with Colin. Colin’s life as many know was ended prematurely and you were forced to rise to power. Through negotiation you were able to combat the forces of which wanted you dead on the spot along with the rest of Colin’s family which you now took full responsibility for. You fulfilled your promises to Colin, which you presented before everyone not too long ago. Not many can say they’ve fulfilled all the goals of their lifetime, but you clearly can. Politically you were able to establish a good communication with TheDean, which gave what is now Chicago a chance to flourish.
In the history of my bloodline, never have I seen any one individual run a city so tight as you. You had a zero tolerance for imperfection and motivated the city to become the power we have become today. As an example to your zero tolerance policy I remember specifically a time when a protection list was posted on the streets, and being the ambitious fellow that I always have been shot a member on that protection list. We made right with the city that posted the protection and I thought all was done, well I was naïve to think that I wouldn’t be punished….At the time I was a Don and I was demoted to WiseGuy for my actions. Again, your standards are really second to none. The whole time you’ve been in power you’ve never appeared to be a weak city head, even initially when certain Mafioso’s clearly could have put a bullet in you. Looking back on it all, I think it goes without saying that you’re the epitome of what we all aim to become. I cannot even begin thanking you enough for allowing me to be a part of this great thing we have.
You’ve brought this thing of ours to a new era of business, a cleaner more profitable place of business and livelihood.
I think I speak for everyone in Chicago when I say that it’s been a rough ride, but an enjoyable one. You’re someone that I will always look up to not only for your accomplishments but because of the wisdom you’ve shared with me. Thank you.

Well first I would like to say Congrats on this incredible journey. Looking back at my family's journals I see that my gran gran gran gran... (you get the hint) mother, Pipoca, was there on the day war broke out and you were left to take over. She was so unsure of everything. She was filled with doubts on whether she should trust you and help you, mostly because our families lines were known enemies for so long. Pipoca decided to help. She joined you and helped you get a family for you to become a godfather. From that day on my family line and yours started to build a new history. Slowly we have started to build trust and also friendship. I've met a Roman that not many people get to. You were there for me many and many times on a professional and personal level and I could never thank you enough for it. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You never needed to do those things but you chose to walk the extra mile and reach me in times of need and not everyone is willing to do that. I have to say that I believe it was simply amazing the way you have managed to survive that very first war. Convincing all those leaders to keep you alive was unbelievable. I believe that is one of the keys to your success, the way you get people on your side even in times that you could be easily beaten down, which was the case back then. You have managed to form alliances through those times to guarantee your safety while you could build the city of Chicago into the power house that it is today. No one can deny or take that from you. However, just like any decent journey, not everything is perfect and our road was, and will, continue being very rocky. We are both highly opinionated people that never want to back down so we have our moments. We have our disagreements and even arguments. Sometimes we simply can't see eye to eye and we have to agree on disagreeing but we have learned to deal with each other and also with that silly sally JesseJames. It's on the rocky roads that we can see the strength of a true family. Chicago has turned into a big beautiful family. I believe that, once again, your family line has fulfilled everything a mafioso could wish for. You have a life of success, a city that backs you up, allies willing to loose their lives for you and more power then anyone could ever dream of having. Congratulations Roman! today is a day of celebration! You worked for this, you played your cards right and you deserve it. |

Godfather Roman, congratulations on this unrivaled achievement. Two years and still going strong. I have to say it's been a pleasure to work along side of you in the creation and building of the empire you stand over today. I remember well our struggles and trials. Many sleepless nights of wars and worry. I think the thing that people underestimate the most is the work and dedication you've put into the empire. |

Easy wakes up at the bar and hears someone saying BDaY!! In a slight daze Easy lits a cig and looks at the date on his watch.
Wow. Can't believe noone reminded me this day was appraoching.
Finishing his whiskey, Easy makes his way to his car and speeds up to the annoucment. Seeing Jynx confirmed to him his watch is indeed dead. Easy glance up as Roman is standing near a podium addressings the masses and nods his head in excitment. Upon hearing the end, Easy nods and walks up to the godfather od the city he calls home.
Happy Bday boss. You have made the world and our fair city proud. I hope to see many more and can't be more happy to stand by your side awaiting them. |

You're not quite right. What Roman has achieved has been absolutely incredible - unrivalled - but he has almost never come under attack. In fact, I have it on fairly good authority that shots have been fired at him no more than three times and possibly only twice. No-one has touched his BGs. In short - personally, Roman hasn't been subject to much of a threat at all. |
