A Way Out of the Quagmire Started by: TommySheridan on Feb 01, '12 10:24

Friends,

I suggest this...

A ceasefire, for a month.  A month to build - a council that examines and punishes those who shoot during this month.

For a month, ANYONE can go bold in ANY city.

And then, after a month, it is fought out.

Let allegiances be made.  Let cities work together.  Let there be blood on the Streets and victory parades held.

Let those bold suits see what it's like.

For 30 days, peace.  For a week, or less, WAR.

And the last men standing will stand with their heads held high.

And you, my friends, what do you say?

CEASEFIRE AND BUILD FOR A MONTH!!  IT AIN'T A CATCHY SLOGAN - BUT IT CERTAINLY MAKES SENSE!

CEASEFIRE AND BUILD FOR A MONTH!! IT AIN'T A CATCHY SLOGAN - BUT IT CERTAINLY MAKES SENSE!

Or... alternatively wait 18 days and spend the full day doing the things you suggest, but for the purpose of Fun?

I do hope that one day, in the not too distant future, that you will realise that being on top of the pile isn't the be all and end all that you seem to think it is. There really is no need for all out war to try and get there. Not everyone shares your goals, not everyone is as bored as you with the peace we currently enjoy around here.

War will come, in time. It always does. You should focus more on re-building your own reputation and nevermind worrying about the entire world. You could really be an asset to things around here if you had the desire to be, but you seem to crave attention and disaster rather than accept a role that would see you quietly succeed.

Such a waste.

This isn't about me, it's about Solidarity, brothers and sisters.

We need bums on seats.  For that, we need seats.  Good quality seats, with things to do. 

Report Post Tip

Its not about solidarity, your preaching the opposite. You want people to band together to kill one another, thats not solidarity. You want chaos and blood shed, these things are not the answer to any of the problems we have right now.

Bums can only remain on seats if they are alive, shoot them and they'll slip off the seat. Who's to say their children will then take their seat?

Don't you see, your asking for something that will cause the opposite of what you claim to wish to achieve.

Are you calling me a hypocrite with an anarchistic agenda?

Sneaker listens to this impromptu outburst. This does not make any sense to her.

Fine Sir. I have no idea where this came from but I have seen cities work together for the betterment of this thing of ours. Could it be that you have not been privy to such things?

Report Post Tip

You make one big assumption that everyone is like you and believes we are in a quagmire, what do you actually hope to achieve in a month?


The Battle Royal you describe will result in one thing, unless a gun malfunction occurs those currently at the top will remain at the top because they have the most BGs and the biggest guns.


There is a saying from the old country that you would do good to learn.

Any time I hear somebody come out with a grand scheme to solve all our problems at once, the first thing that comes to mind is: What is wrong with the way things are now? I think we are doing the best we can with the cards we've been dealt with. Like it was said elsewhere recently (I think Animal said it) all of the recent wars happened for very specific reasons and the fact that we haven't been able to rebuild after these FEW months is because some people just didn't give things time to do so before deciding to go pew pew on other people.

You can't see the wood for the trees.  The car that you're driving has glass but that glass is not clear.

Look at the motives of the people around you - your heroes.

Report Post Tip

There is no purpose in the idea that you burst out into the streets. We already have enough crews as it is that still needs to be filled up. New York, New Orleans, Chicago, hell even Las Vegas. Everyone has a chance. Just got to prove it.

Report Post Tip

Lol,why should we build for a month and then war?Why should we do such a childish competition? Although,if peace wants to be held,it will be, if not,you cannot stop a war.So this topic is pretty useless.

Report Post Tip

Honestly, i can see where your coming from with this idea, but it would never work and in all honesty no-one in power would ever be stupid enough to let it happen.

Why would the people in power allow others to threaten their positions? And if I'm honest, we would destroy ourselves. More than likely, we would end up worse off then we are now. Everyone would become paranoid, everyone would shoot each-other, and we would end up with one family, which would end up destroying itself.

The only thing i can imagine coming from your idea is a return to the beginning of this thing of ours. A fresh start. No dynasties, no family lines meaning any real importance, and every single member of this thing of ours fighting hand and foot to get a foothold. To be honest that could be a good thing, but this thing of ours would either take a real hit to its numbers or face a boom in new members rushing to try and get a shot at power.

So the idea itself may not be as bad or as foolish as people are making out, but only an idiot would let something like that happen.

Lorna listens in and steps forth from the shadows.

I know exactly what you are trying to do..errr...Tommy.  However building up for a month than warring each other...it's not going to work.  It would literally kill this would, no doubt.  This is exactly what would happen if your idea became reality.

Everyone would build up for a month, everyone but one person will die...that one person would then kill anyone who gets to a certain rank (or time put in) that would threaten their position.  There for bloodlines would be randomed forever more, non stop.  No one will ever be able to rank up.  Therefor our children, grand children and so on will find legit jobs not of this world....then, our wonderful world that once was would no longer exist because no body wants to be in a world if they are just going to die in a week or two, even you.

Who else agrees with me and correct me if I'm wrong please.

The facts remain that there is a hunger for this type of enterprise.

What we need, brothers and sisters, is some solidarity!

Report Post Tip

What we have at the moment, is solidarity. The problem is, if your idea became reality, there would be nothing left to be solid.

Report Post Tip

There isn't enough solidarity, brothers an sisters.

We need to fight for more justice.

Report Post Tip

Sneaker hears more rambling. Something about needing more solidarity. She has said her peace but can't help but think this IS a mafia based RP game and if there were any more solidarity between the families we would all be holding hands and singing Kumbaya

Report Post Tip

We need solidarity!

We can all smokum' peace pipe next?
