With fallen bodies all over the streets, Mikey steps over each of them one by one. Making sure he respects the fallen but at the same time remembering the war. His third cousin on his mother's side, MikeHunt, a distant but close relative always lived the life Mikey wanted to. Mikey young, eager, full of potential steps out to the cleanest street corner he can find. He gives his opinion on the aftermath of one of the deadliest wars the world has ever seen.

The power struggle... It seems to continue even more lately. With the fall of the most POWERFUL Godfather in our time, Roman, and his remarkable ally, Premier, the struggle seems to only continue on with the murders of known gangsters world wide. Godfathers being shot at by unknown assailants, Capos being gunned down in their sleep. How much more can our way of life put up with this before our business ultimately crashes?

The way of the Wise Guy is now the way of the gun. Extorting local businesses for their insurance policies, stealing booze from the corner liquor store, has now turned to keeping one eye open while you sleep. Be sure to sleep with a loaded .45 under your pillow at night kids!

When do you think this chaos will end and how will it end? Will the organizations around us calm things down and get a hold of things or will someone ultimately rise and run things with an iron fist?

Wade army rolls behind a parked car, his gun in hand with the safety off.He looks both ways down the street before raising his head slightly from cover to speak

I think order will be restored shortly but when a power vacuum such as this is created casualties will be inevitable,i think once everyone has finished shuffling their decks and rehousing the homeless things should calm down and we will have a better understanding of where we all stand

until then keep your weapon close!!!

Sweeney was picking up Mr. Albert on his dead fathers coat pocket. There was a small scrape on him. He puts him in his coat pocket and petted his head. "Take him to the hospital later." Sweeney thinks to himself. He steps over bodies and bodies of his fathers friends and enemies. He get to the cleanest corner with still some dead Capo's and Bosses' leaning inside and outside of the car, dead. He listens to Mike's speech and thinks to himself. Sweeney takes out a Mnt Dew out of his back pocket and starts drinking it. Sip by sip.

Ah....Mike. It's quite a hard question to ask, I must say for myself. But, I don't think this bloodshed is just quite over yet. I thought the war was over about two hours ago. Then, Godfather _Isacaron_ was shot down by a no name man and things in my head are getting to exclated. This bloodshed will end! I beleive Kimble, SexyBeast, Jade, and etc Godfathers/mothers will help us get through this in the end. Slowly the cities will and I mean WILL make a strong empire. But, in my mind will never ever be as strong as Chicago was with Roman. Or, in a long history ago Aurora with Las Vegas and Marrietta with Detroit. That was the huge change in Detroit is when Marrietta left and never really became that big ever agian. I don't know. Just my opinion. We'll see the future grow slowly and hopefully there will be peace here. I don't think war is that great anymore. I thought it was used for a great important substance of the mafia world. But, after yesterday and today....I don't know....

Sweeney takes a drink of his Mnt Dew and becomes silent.

Everything will balance out in the end, it always does, just look into the past.

There will be one winner, be it one side or one person. What they do with their new-found power, is completely up to them. They are now in control to grasp our society from the cesspool many have proclaimed it to be, and pull it to new heights. Or, it could fester and sink even lower, until all that we know is in utter turmoil.

We have sweated, bleed, and died for this chance. Many of our brothers, sisters, friends, and family have paid with their lives for all this occur. More may fall as the final corners of this terrible war runs its course.

The dust will settle, sooner or later. After that, the book of this era is in our hands. What we write in it, is up to the leaders and each individual mobster. New or old, rich or poor, we all have a chance to make an incredible impact now.

Don't waste it.

If anything this conflict has shown us, is that the "iron fist" route may not be the best strategy for gaining power in our world. I think what we'll see is each city growing individually and independently. We don't have "superpowers" and the race for power between the cities has begun. While it may help business to keep everyone on the same level, every city will be taking any advantage they can to get an edge on the others. Maybe that will cause a flare or two over the next few days/weeks, maybe we'll see a peace period again. Regardless, I think whatever the next move may be, it will be based on a city's decision to grow, and not because of an overbearing influence from another city.

Each of the cities have gained something in this struggle, despite the many dead soldiers. Will someone craft a new empire? I don't think so. I think the independence of the cities will carve new inter-city relationships, and those relationships are very "anti-iron fist".

Mister McKnighter, I love the way you just put that...

"The dust will settle, sooner or later. After that, the book of this era is in our hands. What we write in it, is up to the leaders and each individual mobster. New or old, rich or poor, we all have a chance to make an incredible impact now."

The new mafiosi off the boat are able to make an impact in this world but at the cost of lives of others. I only hope people realize this and only continue to pay respects to the ones who have had to pay the ultimate price.
