I’ve seen this question  kicked about a bit in the streets, so I wanted to take the time out of my busy schedule just to give you all the answer you’ve been looking for. 

Yes, I am entitled!  I have this sense of entitlement because of how I was raised.  I wasn’t born with this sense of entitlement, it was learned.  I’ve read through journals, countless leaflets in the streets, and from those who I trust. 

It is a new day. Don’t try to stop me.  We, the masses, have the power!  Wait, what?  We don’t?  Oh well then.  Nevermind.

Let me say this.  I agree with those who say there is a sense of entitlement out there.  It sickens me as much as it sickens you and I’m but a lowly thug?  Petty thief?  Whatever the hell I am. 

I’m not entitled to shit.  I know I’m not, and know that I must work for everything I get.  And that’s how it should be.  My leader is a great man who has helped me out a ton.  And I appreciate the help, but by no means did I expect the help nor did I believe that I was entitled. 

My job, and my only job is to serve my family and my city.  That’s it.  I am not free to come out here and speak to whomever and about whatever I want.  I’m not free to disrespect the leaders, city heads, or anybody who outranks me.   I’m not entitled to invites from multiple crewleaders once I come to these shores.  I’m not entitled to a hundred bodyguards because my father was a powerful man.  (He wasn’t – I’m just speaking in hypotheticals.)  I’m not entitled to be a Made Man simply because I’ve been working for a family for 10 days and have sold some drugs. 

Understand, I know my place.  I accept my place.  And I love my place.  I have no problem working hard for my family and earning my way in this world.  I wish others were the same, and to be honest, many are.  Unfortunately, many are not. 

But let’s remember – this sense of entitlement that is felt by so many?  Also a learned behavior.  I’m sure they’ve had ancestors who were given everything they wanted – an invite without asking, a hundred bodyguards, the job of RHM?  So, for those leaders – we will learn.  Give us a bit of time, and we’ll figure out our place in this world. 

For those who don’t think they have to change, and have this sense of entitlement, please do the following:

Don’t ask anybody for an invite.  Just wait it out.  Somebody will send you one.  In fact, you’ll probably get more than one invite.  So hang out, have some fun, and wait.  And if get to gangster and nobody’s invited you yet?  Keep waiting.  Or, if you’re not comfortable waiting, then mail every crewleader and ask him/her why they haven’t invited you yet.  Works every time

BGs?  Don’t worry – your new crewleader will buy them for you.  And makes sure you ask ‘em for at least 100.  Otherwise, they’re useless. 

You want to be RHM?  Easy – just ask.  Over and over and over again.

You are waiting to be MM?  Same answer – just ask, over and over again. 

And that’s how you do it.  Thanks for the time.  Back to work. 

I've been called many things such as a lazy slob and a P. I. G. pig but entitled hasn't been one of them. However just because I haven't been called entitled doesn't mean I'm not. I deserve 100 bodyguards. No wait! I deserve at least 101 bodyguards. I should also be promoted to Made Man upon achieving the minimum time and adequate units (which will take much longer than the minimum time as I've deemed jail breaking for poor people). The smart move would be to name me as RHM however I will not pursue that position as it would require me to interact with Chuckle more than once a month.

I'm also not unreasonable. I understand Chuckle is a bit...well let's just say slow. He may have been unaware of my arrival in his crew so I can understand him not being completely prepared for my presence. I will give him time to prepare the gifts that will surely be laid at my feet. As I said, I'm not unreasonable. Just perhaps a bit superior to you.

Pickles walks in fuming!

Why am I not a Don yet?!?!  What is wrong with this world?

Pickles picks up a stray puppy, puts him down, and kicks the homeless guy next to it.

Do I really have to interact with Chuckle?  Isn't there just a fine I could pay?

McKnighter annoyingly pulls off his hat, running a few fingers through his hair as he lets out a sharp sigh, shaking his head at the words that were given.

This topic is one that often gets my blood pumping. Namely, because I find it completely silly.

So, someone's father works hard for you, earning your trust to become your Right Hand, always loyal and by your side to the very end. He paid for that loyalty with death from an enemy's bullet, during a war that involved your entire family. After the dust settles, and you have come on top, the man's son informs you that he wishes to join your family. Coming from a bloodline that you know is hard working, you shrug off that he's going to be very helpful, so you send him a half-billion dollar check and slap a Right Hand Man status to boot.

How the hell do you know if that son is going to be -exactly- like his father? He could have a complete different mindset. He could even be gunning for you once he gains a large enough gun, because he's upset that you allowed his father to be shot. Who knows?

Point is, I typically dislike those children who are given everything from the start, against the mobsters who have been around longer and have been through thick and thin. I don't look back into the past in order to prove what I can do, I -show- it to you. Now, I'll agree, it's nice to have money thrown at you to do whatever you wish, but it isn't right to so.

Though people will argue that since they're young, it's a prime time to purchase body-guards. Sure, understandable, but why pay millions for someone fresh off the boat, when you have a handful of elder mobsters who are still waiting their turn? It's just my logical thought process, not attempting to take any jabs towards anyone, It's just that through my bloodline's journals, this has happened countless times and will continue to do so unless change occurs. If I had a crew, I'll tell you that I'll be advancing the person next in line. If they held such a high rank in my family, why wouldn't I trust him or her to take on an important role in my crew? Food for thought.

My uncle was an RHM to a Godfather but is not a position i would believe i am entitled to with both their deaths.  I sit around and although the drive is there to earn money, the long term objectives dont feel the same.  I feel more like I want to see whats going on in the streets more and interact with families more on a chatting level and less rank, extort, murder as my uncle would of before me.

Although i have read his journals and spent much time with him learning the busy as i grew I honestly look around think of making some money and my line appearing and dissapearing as we need something from this world instead of all their time revolving round it.  I can understand people employing those family lines they trust under them no matter the rank but at the end of the day if they want to protect their crew they try and do whats best for them.  I know if i was a leader i would want my crew in safe hands if i was not around, but that doesnt mean i wouldnt give others opportunity.

I look at this for a slightly askew point of view. I am entitled to nothing and everything at the same time. Whether I get that, all depends on who I am, how I act and most importantly what my boss thinks of me. If they are pleased with what I've done so far then I will get rewarded, similarly if I carry myself in a way that displeases my boss I will also get what I'm entitled to, but what that is, is usually not what we want.

The sense of entitlement is something that has been growing for some years. How many times have we seen fresh faced thugs running around EWP? Quite a lot, but usually these youngsters are from certain lines that whoever is in power holds stock in them and knows that they will deliver the goods when called upon.

When I was a kid I heard my father tell me stories, stories that he had witnessed and stories that his grandfather had passed on to him. That there are people who will base their decision on who to join on how much protection they are willing to supply. This to me is an abomination and is something that should firmly be stamped out of our society.

Yes I am protected, I have been for most of my life. Philthy was assigned to me at an early age by my then boss. I did not ask for this, I did not feel I needed it. But it was my boss's prerogative so I gracefully accepted and over the time I've gotten to know Philthy we have become more than protector and protectee. He is my confidant, my ally and above all my friend.

"So, someone's father works hard for you, earning your trust to become your Right Hand, always loyal and by your side to the very end. He paid for that loyalty with death from an enemy's bullet, during a war that involved your entire family.

Coming from a bloodline that you know is hard working, you shrug off that he's going to be very helpful, so you send him a half-billion dollar check and slap a Right Hand Man status to boot."

The son is not the father, for someone to just join the family and instantly be put ahead of those who have been busting ass is a slap in the face to every other ranked member in that crew. It is illogical and obviously defies common sense. "oh hey, I knew your father, here's the world". Defies logic, and that ladies and gentlemen is why we're spinning in fucking circles.


(It's never about the fact that nobody is trust worthy, you refuse to try something new and feel you owe a friend. Don't wanna put in work grooming someone else, just wanna travel down the same path. Do it, I don't give two shits but don't dare try and justify laziness and fear of change (change = working with someone who hasn't been your friend for years).)
