Quick question | Started by: Abel on Jan 21, '12 08:51 |
Abel was walking along 62nd avenue feeling lonelier than ever. He wasn't the kind of guy that always felt he needed to be surrounded by people, or so he thought. Maybe it so happened that seeing his father do business he saw he was always surrounded by people at all hours of the day and night so he never had the chance to feel lonely. This was a strange feeling for Abel and he wasn't quite sure how to deal with it. He went into a nearby Bar that seemed to have a few customers in his same line of business and decided to address them. |

After listening to what Abel has to say Jessie steps forward and decides to throw his two cents in
I have to say, I have noticed exactly the same thing you have... Our numbers are dwindling, Hopefully only on a short term basis.
I personally think that what it could very well be is that some people dont feel they have enough options in variety of leader, Now I'm not saying there isnt enough quality leaders... because I'm sure they all have their own special attributes that make them special. But perhaps some peoples bloodlines are being held in sicily until they hear word a leader they wish to work on over here becomes avaliable. It could even be that people are looking to join the familys where they feel they have a pivital role in the upper structure?
We have only seen three new faces take the places in bold suits of the leaders that were lost, Is this because there are not enough potential candidates at the required rank? Who knows? But we are on the right track of rebuilding.
I apologise if I didnt make the most of sense, Its been a long night of busting up post offices! |

I don't think there were only three auths because of lack of talent. I think it was because of a lack of need. The crews we have are not really full. Of course you may be right about the rank. Maybe there are people lined uip to run a crew when they reach a certain rank... |

Chris listens a wry smile forming on his lips
I do think that the recient wars do having somthing to do with this, And Jeese you could be very well right that some are hanging back waiting to see a leader or particular city open up that they feel comfortable with, I am sure we havent seen the last of the Auths and from where i am standing everything looks to have stabelised nicely so i guess we wait and see.
Chris bows his head towards Able and Jesse |

"but I did want to see if everybody had the same feeling I had and if so, if you have any explanations or theories about it." |

The time frame and day you have chosen for your comparison is a poor one I am sorry to say. Saturday morning after a heavy night out I expect the following to be about. |

Abel. I think you're looking for a statement starting "who, what, where, when, why or how". You're just messing with Romeo's OCD here and it isn't fair because it's us Muppets that have to calm him down. |

This is something i have also noticed Abel. I have also noticed that this thing of ours is dwindling in members. It isn't often that i see over 100 members up and active... Maybe the current generations have decided to sleep more? Or perhaps the descendants of those killed in the last war are looking into a different lifestyle then their ancestors did? Perhaps looking to be a vineyard owner or pig farmer back in the old country?
Dimitri chuckles at the thought that those lifestyles could be more rewarding than this one.
Perhaps they just think it is futile to try and put in work like their forefathers especially so soon after a war, as tensions may be running high. But whatever reason it is, we are dwindling in number, and this should be addressed. Perhaps we should write letters to our friends back in the old country (OOC: Refer friends you know in person) to give this thing of ours a boost in man power?
Whatever we decide to do, sometimes sitting around and waiting for something to blow over is the wrong option, and i believe that members of this thing of ours have been hiding their heads in the sand all too often lately. But thats my 2 cents. |

It might be a concern or it might not there was a few 100 mobsters killed in quick succession and not just wiseguys and under i think a large majority will return to our way of life eventually soon as they see a city they like repopulated or a leader that there kin is not sore at. As we know it travels in cycles and not many can stay away from our world most always come back eventually. |

Honestly I would hope thats not the case that people are staying away until their friends are in power. Its a major issue with this thing of ours that people won't take a chance on someone they don't know. Even if they respect the person they won't join someone that they aren't friendly with on IRC avenue or otherwise. |

I agree with you Abel,It seems the pasion for this thing of ours dissapeard.To bad,i guess people are tired to get killed from month to month.For example,ive never lived more then 2 and half months lol,i guess i always choosed the wrong side heh..that discouraged me,but i still continued in the end. |

Ahh Chris don't forget that some of those members also had just had their mothers killed only to be killed a few days later. I can imagine their next of kin would take some time away as that would certainly strike a nerve with some. Others will just shrug it off and their kin will return. Each person's line is so different but I agree majority will likely be back sooner or later. |

Betsy, I have to admit I have no clue what you meant with the interpretation of what you are looking for. I did notice however that my question sems to have touched a nerve with Romeo. I wasn't really expecting my curiosity to be attacked, specially when I said I have been having this feeling for days and being that in OOc avenue we have been told that indeed we have less population I don't seem to be going crazy. But the rest of what he says was a nice answer to my question, though. |

We have plenty of crews there are 2 or 3 with less than 30 members and the reason there arent more is because not everyone is ment to b a leader in this world some are made to be followers |

Bruiser pulls a piece of paper from his pocket with scribbling on it.
I think Animal said it best in his response on out of character avenue.

Lorna was buying an apple from the corner store when she heard Abel's speech.
This is a very interesting subject indeed Abel. I really don't have anything to add to it but every-one's side of this subject is in fact intriguing and I can't wait to read more about it.
Lorna goes back to her gloomy shopping for fruit. |

I have talked to a few people recently which is where i spend my general proceeds from crime on stamps, paper and envelopes and often find people feeling they are climbing a mountain just to be instantly doomed to failure. They state frustrations with bgs, crew strengths, boredom of a repetitive world and realise if they get rid of someone the end product could be getting someone they feel is worse.
I must admit coming back there just didnt see as much as a buzz, what did seem to exist is a hint of desperation in the number of people seeking associates or family members. I understand is a city hall policy to keep the new blood and returning blood growing this thing but i honestly felt i didnt need anything done to impress anyone which put a chill in my bones. Out of about 15 people who spoke to me only three seemed to offer directions or a plan for development which made me feel like the blind were leading the blind for a new comer. |
