_{Mafioso Tradizione -}

_{Issue 1}

_{Dec 5th 2011}

INTRODUCTION

Today you are picking up the first of many issues of the Mafioso Tradizione. Tradizione is a tradition in the making, joining the many chroniclers and newspaper such as the Gazette and Tribune with a rich history that spans the bloodline of the oldest of families. What makes the Tradizione such an important part of our society is the fact it chronicles our history so we can sit back and reflect on the days of old.  One of the constant sections of Tradizione will be old articles reflecting our history. With any tradition it takes commitment, passion, and desire to keep it alive and thriving, it is far from easy as the responsibility to keep Tradizione going can be an exhausting  at times but always rewarding! So please keep that in mind and pick up your copy of Mafioso Tradizione and while sitting at your local pub, bistro, or casino, in between those petties and felonies read a few of our articles, check your horoscope, or read a piece of history! Thank you for your support! 

CORRUPTION: THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF NARCOTICS

by Africanus

If your not up to par on your government lingo or Uncle Sam’s bravado. The Department of the Treasury sanctioned Federal Bureau of Narcotics has been responsible for the criminalization of several addictive alkaloids. Opium dens and smugglers have heard the crack of the justice mallet, issuing heft fines and sentences. In light of the progress made by the FBN, a massive corruption ring has been discovered with their own ranks. The occasional bribe often would be swept under the carpet - but now dozen of agents are offering their services... for a price. Despite the potential utility of a government agent, elements of organized crime have exchanged fire with these corrupt agents. Ending, very fatal most cases for the aggressors.

CREWLEADER SPOTLIGHT

by: Monte

I cannot contain the excitement I have for today we are head straight  to New York to take a look at the leader of The Narcissists , New York’s newest Family, Not only does this crew leader keep his hair proper at all times he also flexes his mirror muscles like no other! Let’s find out how Mr. doogle feels about New York, Las Vegas, and of course his very own Family!

 doogle

Monte:    Mr.doogle, thank you for taking the time to speak to me about a couple subjects

doogle: Anytime.

Monte: So Mr.doogle, NY, How are you enjoying it?

doogle: It's awesome. I'm really having a good time in NY. Much more than I expected considering the state of things when I started here.

Monte: State of things? Enlighten me, as you know I just flew back to this side of the world from a prolonged vacation, what have I missed out on?

doogle: Well I don't want to stir up drama that's been addressed by many, but the massive take down of Roman and -Premier really shook things up in NY. Each CL who fought against the two "superpowers" had their own reasons. I remained loyal to what I pledged loyalty to - my city. Once -Premier fell in NY, a new era started for us.

Monte: So now that you have setup in NY, how do you view your role?

doogle: I'm just here to support Stallion and whatever direction he decides to take the city. As long as our opinions continue to jive together and support the city, I'll ride with him to the grave.If that means running a crew or collecting Witness Statements, it doesn't matter... it's all about the benefit of New York.

Monte:Obviously your Stance on NY is strong, setting up a family in a city you are so loyal too only makes sense, but now lets switch the city over to LV, a city with a recent blood shed past striving for a brighter future.. or is it? What are your thoughts about a "fight for the top position" that was bestowed upon LV

doogle: You know, it's an interesting subject. A part of me thinks, why would we allow this chaos to happen over in the west? At the same time though, I think it's great. Las Vegas is like a sandbox for Mafioso's. Along with providing a place for those who enjoy a faster paced style of gameplay, Vegas allows for anyone with balls and brains (or lack of) to set up and give it a run. Including those who may not normally be given the opportunity to lead, such as those with bloodlines that are not well known.

Monte: Do you see anyone in LV really standing out as a true leader of that city?

doogle: A true leader? I'm not sure...to be honest, I haven't dealt directly with any of the current CLs. Creep seems to be the clear front runner though. The man has his bodyguards and the largest crew. HermanCain deserves a mention too. He may not be a CL, but I think he has a great street presence, but we all know BGs, a big crew, or street presence doesn't make someone a great leader. Only time will tell.

Monte:  Mr. doogle, before I let you get back to your HQ, I want to give you a chance to let every aspiring gangster in our world know what qualities you are looking for, and whom to contact to join your Family

doogle: I thought you'd never ask. Let's face it, I'm the best looking mobster alive. My father was the best looking in his time, as his father was of his time.

Monte: I have to admit, sitting here next to your smexiness is making me question my manhood...

doogle: Don't worry friend, you are a strikingly charming fellow yourself. We outta work out together sometime...work on our mirror muscles.

Monte: lol, indeeed!

doogle: The Narcissists seek confident, borderline cocky individuals ready to do what is necessary for the success of New York...provided their hair is proper.

Monte: aye, Hair is important!

Monte: Thank you Mr. doogle, for your time and honesty. Can't wait to work with you again!

doogle: You bet. Stop by anytime you like, thanks Monte.

Hanukkah is only a few weeks away and my taste buds were dying for some  Latkas  so what better place to try some Jewish home cooking than St. Louis's very own La Kosher Nostra!! I get the privilege of sitting down with JewishJake and learn about his family, his city, and his views on Las Vegas,  all while filling my stomach with some traditional Jewish goodies!

JewishJake

Monte: Talking with Mr.JewishJake of La Kosher Nostra, a prominent family of St. Louis, Thank you for taking time away from your day for this sit down.

JewishJake: Well thank you Monte for asking me to stop by

Monte: Pleasure is all mine, so lets talk about St.Louis. What direction do you see your Family taking this fine city?

JewishJake:The sky is limit...We here at La Kosher Nostra work tirelessly for the city of St. Louis, but we don't forget to take time off for the sabbath every Friday

Monte: Tell me about your family, give me the insider perspective

JewishJake: Well just Jews are branching into Local Waiters and Chef unions in St Louis, and also taking major control of baking and delivery Truck rackets

Monte: What qualities do you look for in potential members?

JewishJake:Monte the best qualities I find in a person is trust, honesty, hard working. Monte It's the guys who break there back for you day in and day out and don't ever get the credit they deserve

JewishJake: Monte

JewishJake: It's not about how much money a person earns for you

JewishJake: It's knowing that you have a fine tuned machine that keeps business in full operation 24 hours a day

Monte: Completely understand that reasoning, Keeping your Family well structured and working as one is no easy task

JewishJake: Normally I would say your right but with the family and people who work with me I would say your wrong it's quite easy when you have people you trust and know have best intentions for family

JewishJake: Everyone at La Kosher Nostra works together that’s what makes a strong family

Monte: That speaks volumes about your family!

JewishJake: I feel blessed to have people who loyal work beside me If It wasn’t for them I know for  a fact I wouldn’t be here today

Monte: Knowing how your family is run, knowing how you like your family structured, what are your thoughts of the families fighting it out in Las Vegas for dominance?

JewishJake:Everyone has there own opinion of Vegas

Monte: Indeed they do, so where do you stand with how things are allowed to transpire in a seemingly lawless city

JewishJake: My thoughts on Vegas

JewishJake: I wish all people who strive for excellence in Vegas the best of luck, and hopefully soon we will see who can stand out of the pack and claim Godfather. Until then I like watching how Las Vegas grows and changes with the seasons as winter is now upon us...

Monte: Are there any Leaders in Las Vegas now who stand out to you?

JewishJake:To be honest with you Monte with so many Crew leaders going out to Vegas and dying it been a blur still getting adjusted to the new current leaders in Sin City

Monte: Fair enough

Monte: Closing statement?

JewishJake: Well I like to wish everyone a Happy Hanukkah for La Kosher Nostra and may everyone have a blessed 8 crazy nights ;p

Monte: Thank you very much for your time and thoughts Mr.JewishJake

JewishJake: And Thank you Monte for conducting such a friendly and straight forward interview

 

MOTOR CITY MASSARCE

by Africanus

The early hours of the December 1st dawned with deafening gunfire. When the sun finally rose over Detroit scores of bodies were found and identified by officials. Notable the late godmother AlabamaWorley. Miss Worley began her life of crime within the fine city of Chicago, where she rose to become a successful crewleader, she was later given the opportunity to move her ventures to (then empty) Detroit. She reigned there since her untimely departure from life. Worley left behind many mourning friends and family. Amongst the dead were Detroit leaders EvilClown and JessicaRabbit. Calling hours and funeral services were extensive. Our hearts go out to the fallen.

LAS VEGAS - A WORK IN PROGRESS

by Africanus

What seems like yesterday, November 14th in fact. The Godfather council announced a generous jester towards the ambitious and foolhardy alike. An open offer to any made man (or above), (with a few restrictions such as permission from city head, bodyguard regiment size, etc, etc) to setup within the city of Las Vegas and pursuit the life of crime on their own terms. Of course, those who venture out are free to use force and cunning to successfully hold onto their stake in Sin City, granted it doesn't interfere with the day-to-day of the other respective cities. Within the past couple of weeks, we've seen several rise to the challenge. Some were out-witted, out-gunned, or foolishly tangled with the boys in blue and paid the ultimate price. Today, we have only four leaders standing: Creep, Funtcase, Hypno and Jesper.

We had the pleasure of speaking with these folks who offered some insight and gory details about Sin City.

Here is the transcript folks:

CREEP

Africanus: Well, Creep - it's good to have you here in the studio. Many people have been following your story. I heard the coffee-shops were packed while you tangoing with Sgt. Slaughter. Do you have any inspirational words to folks who are thinking of journeying out to the gem of the Mojave in hopes of setting up shop?

Creep: Nice to be here Africanus! The only words of encouragement I have for those who look to setup shop in Las Vegas is don't hesitate. Second guessing the move and thinking long and hard about the move might drive you crazy! If you want it, take it. If you want to show everyone what you can do, here's your opportunity. People might say, Oh well there are to many CLs in Las Vegas, that shouldn't matter if you are trying to prove to everyone what you can do. Put your name on the map, now some people may take this as shooting your way in. There is no need for violence in Vegas. I welcome anyone into Las Vegas, and offer my hand in unity!

A: I have to ask you, what possessed you to embark on this endeavor? That is, why did you setup in Las Vegas in the first place?

C: I setup in Las Vegas to prove myself like many of the Vegas crewleaders have done. My ancestors are not widely liked in these shores, but I wanted to show that I am different then those of my past. I am here to help build a Vegas community and show the other cities what I really am! Now that I have setup I encourage those who want to do the same to come along with me for the ride.

A: We've seen alot of different techniques applied to staying alive in Las Vegas. Any reason why you think you'll succeed where others have bit the dust?

C: I think the others have as you say 'bit the dust' because they wanted power immediately. They wanted to enforce an Acting Godfather off the bat, and make rules they could NOT enforce. We had High-Society who wanted to be acting godfather, until Sgt-Slaughter wanted power and took High-Society out. I really don't think that would have happened if neither of them were Acting Godfathers. That title just brings trouble especially if you can't enforce any rules.The Sarge was saying it was because High-Society was bringing to much bad attention to Vegas. However, he did the same ol' thing when he announced a Crewleader cap to Vegas and couldn't enforce it. As the Godfather council said this is a 'competition'. Some came in guns blazing, some came in defensively, some came in for alliances. We might never know what will work, but all I can do is try my best to keep peace in Vegas, and with the help of other Crewleaders, build Vegas to be a prosperous city.

A: The warm embrace of Clarity and the familiar breeze of the Windy City is awfully far from Vegas. Do you miss working under Godfather Jesse James and your previous leader Clarity?

C: JesseJames, there is not enough words in the English Dictionary to explain how great this man has been to me. Taking me into his shores when I was a little mafioso who didn't know much. Allowing me to grow within Clarity's family and giving me the nod to broaden my horizon's and setup shop in Vegas. This man deserves everything he has achieved, and he is a very honorable man. Thank You, Jesse.Clarity is also a great crewleader. She works her ass off to do what she has to in order to keep up with her family and city. She's a very nice complement to Godfather JesseJames. Clarity at first might have been a little hesitant in letting me go, but I explained to her the importance and I attempted to show her that I deserved this role. Would I recommend the newbies of the world to join Clarity and the Chicago Crime Syndicate? In a heart beat! Chicago is a very beautiful city and I would tell anyone I could to join them. They teach, build, and let mafiosi progress in this world without holding anyone back if they see the potential.

A: Anything in closing remarks for all the fans and vindictive sons, daughters or shades about?

C: All I have to say is thank you to Chicago, JesseJames, and Clarity. I am glad to have this opportunity, some may ask, Who is Creep? Reason being, is I haven't been in the streets much. Why you ask? Because as I stated earlier, this is a competition. I might be dead when I walk out of here to a guy waiting with his pistol. Then where does my presence go? Down the drain. I tend to keep to myself right now and hide in shadows in order to live. I work with those close to me but I am not shouting comments off the rooftops as they would say. I encourage people to come to Vegas looking to setup and join us. We are friendly and do not want trouble. Thank You for your time, Africanus.

FUNTCASE

Africanus: Funtcase, it's a pleasure - I suppose we should break the ice first. There is a rumor

that you are insanely well endowed, do you care to elaborate on this?

Funtcase: From an early age it was apparent to me that Ide been dealt a gift. For years I tried to cover it up and tuck it in. You know, just not make a big deal out of it. Anyway, I get into my teens and it soon becomes obvious that it was a 'Big Deal' and so I chose to celebrate my gift. I got it out whenver I could. Got it around as much as possible. Nearly lost it a few times. Anyway, ive come out the other side now in my twenties and Ive settled down. However if I have learnt one thing so far is that it should come with a warning. And that is exactly why Ive got the badge on my suit. Just to keep tighties at arms length for fear of splitting them. Melis knows all too well what Im talking about!

A: In all seriousness, Sgt. Slaughter's demise - Business, Personal or Both?

F: The late, great Sarg was an absolute shame. The guy was such a pleasure to talk to. As is his son I might add who I have had words with since the day his ol' fella got deaded. Sadly Creep jumped the gun a little and got himself into a little frackard with the sarg. I couldnt bare to watch it so I did what anyone would do. I got out of bed. Strapped my wang to one leg and my shotty to the other and went out to Vegas in search of blood. My deepest condolences to hin though. Im sure in the future would he be given the chance to lead a family he would do well.

A: Regardless, it was very cunning of you. I asked Creep earlier about his motives/reasoning to setting up in Las Vegas - What about your own?

F: My reasons are simple. My bloodline has been blessed with the responsibility of leading a few times. Its heald positions of power across 6 of the 8 cities at some point in time but in everyone of those I have had to answer to someone above me. I fancied taking control of a city and being able to make my own calls. Plus it looked like a bit of fun doing some oldschool all nighter dueling :D

A: Las Vegas has been home to many successful enterprises, we already know your an ambitious fella by taking this challenge. Any plan of attack for restoring Sin City to her previous glories?

F: Fingers crossed I get long enough to see some real good things come out of Las Vegas. I think right now I have a pretty strong team and some great bloodlines on board. Given time this can only result in a very promising future for Sin city. Lets just hope no one is feeling as gung ho as I was when I came here!

A: In closing, any words of inspiration or shout outs?

F: Words of inspiration? Sit on my face :)

HYPNO

Africanus: Biscuit thank you for joining me on Hypno’s behalf. It’s been nearly a week since Sgt. Slaughter has passed, ushering in what I believe is the longest pause of bloodshed Vegas has seen in recent times. What do you credit to this?

Biscuit: Personally I'd credit this to a few different things, when the Godfather Council first opened Vegas to anybody meeting the stated requirements alot of the first leaders came in with an attitude of 'this is MY city and I'll kill anyone who gets in my way', couple that with the inexperience of some of the others and we had something that just wasn't going to work. However you look around Las Vegas NOW and we have a great set of leaders, people who were born to be leaders and they have surrounded themselves with good hard working intelligent members.

A: Are they aren't specifics you’d like to bring to the table that will restore good ole Vegas to her former glory?

B: Dude! Theres no fookin casinos here!! But my gambling addiction aside, theres work still left to be done to stabilize Vegas but once that is done with we will be looking to improve the business districts and bring in a casino or 2 for the tourists

A: Any words of wisdom you’d offer to mafiosos aspiring to be crewleaders?

B: Work hard and remember.... your mouth can be your greatest asset or your biggest weakness

JESPER

Africanus: Jesper, thank you for your time. I’ve asked your colleagues in Vegas, I have to ask you. Why take the risk and setup in Vegas?

Jesper: You are welcome my friend. Well that is a pretty good question Africanus. A number of my ancestors were lined up for running a crew. But tragedy always struck. My father was a very proud man. Extremely loyal and died defending Las Vegas. In route in following his footsteps I seen this as a opportunity to make him proud and continue where he left off. To mentor and educate and look after my own family. That is my goal, If my men are happy and treated fair I feel I have done well.

A: It’s been nearly a week since the last incident of bloodshed. Do you feel relatively safe?

J: Ah yes it has looked quite grim here looking back at previous events. Honestly it is the life of crime and with city borders open, it can only be as safe as that is.

A: In your opening speech, you included a hefty list of names of mafioso's who had influenced you one way or another - having setup in Vegas now, do any particular lessons come to mind?

J: Yes all those names and even more have touched my bloodline and worked closely with some more than others. One thing that was always passed down that was a common denominator was, take care of your own. Protect them with your life and they will do the same. And lastly don't be a hothead and lose your cool that always results in hardship, keep your head above water.

A: What’s the archetype of the ideal recruit for your organization?

J: An ideal recruit in my eyes,is someone with ambition to flourish and learn. To become better but contribute. I am only looking for people who want to become better and bloom into something more. But with that being said they need to know working closely together and in "sync" is the key.I would rather have 15 loyal hard-working people I can rely on doing day to day tasks using each other's experience to complete them and do them right, Then 40,50 or more half ass mobsters that only care about themselves or have to be babysat and watched.

A: Closing remarks?

J: I love to see the life the streets have once again. Newspapers like this are something I hope to see more of and I hope the business district kicks off in Vegas like it once was. We are currently trying to get business booming again and hope it doesn't take too long.

Once again, I'd like to offer my appreciate for the time and thought these gentlemen provided. Good luck to with Sin City!

COLD WAR GOES ROGUE

Cold War went rogue this weekend after shooting new family leader Soulcatcher down mistaking him as a rogue leader. Soulcatcher had apparently been given blessing upon his new HQ by Uncle Nicky yet had not made it public. This had not been announced in the streets and after no reply to messages delivered by courier to Uncle Nicky’s desk Cold War decided to take action with the safety of his family at heart. Other New Orleans residents were unable to shed any light on the status of Soulcatcher, which backed up Cold War’s belief that he was a rogue leader. After shooting Soulcatcher down in the yet unclaimed Philadelphia and angering Uncle Nicky, Cold War left his crew to avoid the death of innocents and set up his own HQ making it clear that his primary target would be Uncle Nicky. In a public statement Uncle Nicky said, “If you had any brains at all or could read it would be obvious to you that I don't auth anyone.” Cold War was shot down almost immediately after Uncle Nicky’s statement. Cold War’s son came to the streets sharing the fact that his father had missed on Uncle Nicky three times total.

HOROSCOPES

Aries

Be wary of misleading information and prepare for the potential need to redo projects you thought were complete in the first half of the month, dear Aries. You could be dealing with delays and a general feeling of being held back. Around the 10th of December can be especially hectic and possibly chaotic. It can be hard to know who or what to believe. After mid-month, things begin to straighten out. Ironically, your money picture looks quite bright around the holidays. The 22-23 is strong for love and money, especially from foreign or non-routine sources.

Taurus

Watch for a clash with a lover over money or intimacy matters around the 4th, when somebody requires more space, as well as impulsiveness with money around the 10th. Challenges with finances can occur then, but they are ultimately pushing you towards better management of your resources. Romance and travel are favored in December, although both are better after mid-month. Your romantic life continues to stimulate and challenge you, and although part of you might long for a more settled and stable situation, it's never dull! The month finds you especially adventurous, in fact. You're both breaking routines and building new ones.

Gemini

Close relationships can be very complicated in the first half of the month, dear Gemini, and particularly around the 10th, when surprising emotions bubble up to the surface with great force. Personal revelations serve to push you towards growth and experience. Watch for impatience in both speech and action on the 4th. General confusion and delays clear up by mid-month. Family life is exceptionally busy for you in December. While challenges can present themselves, it's a good time to address long-standing problems and to take action to fix them. Love is intimate and passionate.

Cancer

An especially busy December is in your forecast, dear Cancer. Prioritize tasks well so that you can minimize problems. Past or previously hidden matters are illuminated around the 10th.  Don't jump to speak about a personal subject unless you're certain it's not premature to do so. You might continue to meet with delays and assorted little problems in your work, but by mid-month, these smooth out. While it's usually recommended to start shopping for the holidays early, if you haven't started yet, you might want to save the bulk of your buying for after the 14th. Watch for hastiness and impatience in speech and actions this month.

Leo

Be extra cautious with your spending this month, dear Leo, as there is a bit of a risk-taker in you right now! There may be some drama or heightened emotions in a friend's life around the 10th of December. Relationships become clearer by mid-month, before which signals can be confusing and displays of affection muted. A partner feels stronger and more confident at this time. Good news or rewards on the job front can arrive in the last week of the month. You may want to make work-related New Year's resolutions a little early - on the 28-29th. You're coming across with increased charm at this time as well.

Virgo

Love matters are strong in December, dear Virgo. While you may be on the fence about many things until mid-month, you're certainly not lacking when it comes to admirers. You are exuding much charm and positive energy that won't go unnoticed. Willingness to take emotional "risks" in the second half of the month can bring interesting experiences into your world. Work can be demanding around the 10th, when some of you could be wrestling with a decision or some uncomfortable gossip. Try not to react impulsively at this time. Family is supportive and comforting in the last week of the month, when efforts to reorganize the home can also pay off.

Libra

You've been going through a maturing process recently, dear Libra, and sometimes you may have felt that it was forced upon you. Impulsiveness in relationships may have come at a price. This month, you're likely to feel more in your element on a romantic level from the 20th forward. Until mid-month, delays and transportation matters can be very tricky. Around the 10th, news can arrive that has you acting on impulse, but it's best to wait things out. Prepare yourself for changes to your itinerary. The second half of the month is less chaotic. All of December, take extra time for rest, as energy levels may not be up to par.

Scorpio

Money matters can get very tricky in the first half of the month, dear Scorpio, when sticking to budget may be difficult but is necessary. Avoid borrowing and lending, as both can bring heavy complications at this time. Changes in your financial arrangements may be in store around the 10th. Impulsive decisions should be avoided, as reason is clouded by heightened emotions. Work schedules can change at a moment's notice this month, but ultimately for the best. The last week of December brings a growing feeling of strength in a partnership. You'll be in fine shape to host during the holidays, and will probably want to stick close to home.

Sagittarius

Avoid an overly independent stance this month, dear Sagittarius, as relationships can be tricky enough to handle as it stands until mid-month. Alienating someone special will not help. Impulsive executive decisions can be a downfall, so try to keep your cool. Relationships heat up around the 10th. This can also be a time when something personal comes to the attention of others. The last week of the month finds you considerably more balanced and naturally confident (not brashly so). A project begins to regain momentum and money-making ideas are plentiful.

Capricorn

You start off December on the right foot, dear Capricorn, with determination but also great charm in your manner. Work seems readily available to you, and others are spreading helpful word of mouth. A love interest is paying attention. In fact, for Capricorns, December is one of the best months of the year for romance. A work or health matter comes to a head around the 10th, when emotions run high. While life can be a little chaotic then, this can also point to a peak if you handle yourself well. While the holidays may not run close to schedule this year, you're bound to enjoy yourself despite the lack of routine. Expect the unexpected. New Year's resolutions might be made a little early - on the 28-30th, when your resolve is especially strong.

Aquarius

Friendships can be fairly wacky in the first half of the month, dear Aquarius, and this includes both platonic and romantic ones. Heightened emotions surrounding love and creative matters are especially likely around the 10th. Recognize that signals from others can be misread before jumping impulsively to action. The second half of December brings considerably easier energy for you overall. You begin to feel more confident about making important decisions and you convey your ideas with greater certainty. On the domestic front, good news may be forthcoming as the year draws to a close. Family ties are stronger and comfort levels run high.

Pisces

Partnerships continue to keep you on your toes this month, dear Pisces. Confusing signals from a partner clear from mid-December, but love tends to require some level of sacrifice nevertheless. The fine balance between your family and career can be tricky to manage. Domestic matters demand attention especially around the 10th. Changes are in store, and there can be pressure to make important decisions. However, acting in haste, as inclined as you may be to do so, is not advisable. A friendship can bring surprising and pleasant emotions to the surface in December. Despite some level of chaos surrounding your work this month, you are likely to end the year with a renewed feeling of confidence in your career direction.

Dutch_Man hears a young boy yelling "Paper, Paper, Come get your Mafioso Tradizione!!" With excitment and eagerness jogs up to the boy and hands him the due amount for the newspaper

About time, I was getting worried there was no one around selling the news! Now I can drink my morning coffee and catch up on the latest news!

well well welll... what do we have here?

Fingolfin walks around a crowd of mafiosos grabbing at the papers. the young boy hand him one

hmmm, i guess i'll give it a look.

Omni grabs a copy of the paper that the young boy was handing out then takes a quick read

I enjoyed reading this and I hope to see many more to come. :)

Excellent paper.

Desmond picks up a copy of the newspaper and after ensuring his name is not in the obituaries section, proceeds to thumb through it.

Looks like I need to mark the 10th on my calendar...

He then smiles as he makes the newspaper into a tri-corner hat and wears it around town for the day.

Paper of the year, proper journalism and none biased. Excellent job keep em coming!

I'm glad you folks enjoyed it, if anyone has any suggestions - don't be shy.

Hmmm. I think we need to see more High Society in here.

Good read though !

FattyFats picks up a copy of a new paper left on a park bench, and sits and has a read

Fantastic read sir. so much better then the gutter press which is the Chuckle Knuckle. Well put together and a good insight. I especially love the topless woman on Page 3. Tracy, 19 from Las Vegas has a great rack.

BigBlackMan comes out and sits on his favorite rocking chair outside of a local paper stand, he notices Africanus selling his papers and decided to buy one. Sitting there reading the paper BigBlackMan begins to grin a bit. The man stands up out of his chair and goes up to Dutch_Man and Africanus and shakes their respective hands.


Gentlemen this paper was superb, I really do hope to see more issues coming out and staying on top of the recent news! I must admit I haven't seen many papers like this around this thing of ours, as previous people had stated before, many papers are biased.

Perhaps doing sit downs with every city head to do an interview with them about current events? I know it may be hard to get all the city heads to do a sit down interview, but it may be something that would help your paper flourish.

BigBlackMan brushes and straightens his suit into perfection once again, making his move back to the HQ he decides to stop off at a bar he knows of to have a drink with a couple notoriously known henchmen from the area...

Sweeney was skipping around the corner of the Philly streets. He was holding his pet frog Mr. Albert and stroking his back. He looked down and saw this paper. He looks down with amazement. Picking up the paper and reading it. His mouth dropped. It was incrediable. To good....this is not good. NO! Sweeney runs back to his house and begins on his typewriter.

He'll be destroyed...in love of course.

Sweeney sitting in his chair talking to himself; gives out a heart shape with his hands. Then, continues working.

Funt opens the paper and starts to read. Its good journalism. The reports are accurate and well sourced. He stumbles across a quote from himself and begins to blush

Really well done. I do look forward to future editions of this.

Sitting next to the window he was able to look out at the streets, the cold snow starting to fall and the ground was starting to turn white as the snow started to come down a bit heavier. He took a drink from his steaming coffee, placing the mug back on the desk as he finished reading the newspaper. Rolling it up he smiled and placed it into his front right jacket place, his hand brushing against the cold steel of his pistol that was underneath his jacket with shoulder holsters

A real good newspaper I think, informative and entertaining and I don't think you even would offended anyone (good or bad up to the people). I personally enjoy having a well established consistent newspaper that brings a summary of the happenings with some interviews and info they gain from their sources! Great work and keep it up.. I personally appreciate your efforts and will be waiting for the next issue.

After reading the newspaper,Jesper folded it up and clapped.

"A very good read Africanus.I will defintly be awaiting the next issue.Papers of this quality are hard to come by lately.Keep up the good work."

Gets up off the bench and wanders off into the distance.
