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.

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

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 |
