I thought i would take some time out to address and attempt to nip in the bud the rumblings ive been made aware of in the streets but more importantly in the coffee shops.

It would appear that there is a growing trend who think Stamina is a tyrant and rules with an iron fist. This did not just happen after this last war but ive been made aware of it since Pizza retired.

Any time someone is stronger than the rest it is inevitable that they will be looked upon as tyrant. But i ask you, when has he ever acted like one? Since the creation of the GF council he has never made a power play against another city. And has only stepped in and intervened when a cities actions or policies would put either New Orleans or other cities at risk. He has had this position 'fall into his lap' in the same way that many of us said about JesseJames after the take down of Roman. Does that make him a tyrant? Of course not, it makes him lucky.

And before anyone talks about taking Hound out as a power play let me give you a short summary of how the 1st lot of GF council members met their end...We had a Godfather council with Stallion, Jesse, Hound and Stamina. Hound attacked Stallion in nothing more than a cold blood power play. Hound was then rightly taken out by people who called Stallion a friend as revenge and more importantly to ensure that the people capable of such a betrayal are not in a position of power. Then JJ had a fatal gun malfunction. And finally JJ's replacement Pizza retired. Stamina never once made a move against any of the other cities.

So next time you plan to write up a ranting speech or snide Coffee shop messages calling Stamina a tyrant I encourage you to actually look at the history and come up with a time he has acted like one. And for anyone in a position of power who has a legitimate grievance with New Orleans to come and talk to us so we can be made aware of it. Because its hard to fix or address something that we know nothing about.

I think the name 'Tyrant Tanda' has a good ring to it.

Personally I believe if people are gonna call him a Tyrant then GodFather Stamina should show them what one is. I mean why have the title if you can't have the fun with it right?

Immortal has to giggle a bit at Johnny and Skorpeon.

You guys.. She look over at Cadoras and then nods. I think you hit the nail on the head on this one, and having worked with Stamina for a while now I know he cares for those in his city as well as those in the entire community. I personally look forward to seeing his ideas and those of the other leaders going forward.

I think people throw this term around too freely these days. 

Demonic shrugs his shoulders and kicks a can at Skorpeon.  Sorry to hear about your father Skorpeon.  Fucking Federal agents, Demonic mutters as he disappears in cloud of smoke.

Agree completely with Demonic. The term tyrant can be adequately applied to somebody in a top position with a desire for control and domination. I do not see this with Godfather Stamina. I see a man of great power who often has to make heavy decisions with himself being the sole scapegoat for the reprecussions. "Heavy lies the crown, sorta thing". It's a rough position to order the death of a city and although my father was on the receiving end... he understands there are two sides to every situation. Whether many of us choose to accept this or not... who else was going to make the call? The choice was made for the proposed betterment of our way of life. You have to respect that in itself.

I love how people always throw my father's name around and incorporate into others names. It confuses me when people call each other Tyrants. ><

Cadoras, thankyou for bringing this to light. Of course i was around and well aware of everything and it all happened the way you said it did. Godfather Stamina is no tyrant, it is not in his character to be one. I have come to know this man quite well and he is one that believes in cities working hand in hand. He has a good heart and i know that hearing things like this, beeing called a tyrant probably affects him deeply. I would'nt be surprised if it did... because the only thing he wants is for people to be able to work together as a community and move on when things are beeing handled as they should. Everyone should be thankfull that we have a Godfather who really cares and wants things to be the way they should. Different communities working without interfeering into other people's activities. What more can we ask for, he wants to implement friendship and loyalty. Tyrany was and is never part of his plans.

I have photos of our esteemed Godfather wearing a frilly dress and clogs. This proves he is far removed from being a tyrant.

deimne was a tyrant roman was a tyrant premeir was a tyrant jessiejames was a tyrant. well at least to the crying sons and daughters who flooded our shores after their forefathers and mothers meet their untimely deaths. the word is thrown around by weak minded people who never stop to view the big picture. this thing of ours isnt hand holding and hop scotching. its about power control and creating a city that will stand the test of time. 

I think the names tyrant and dictator are quite harsh from bitter people.

We have just entered the age of Stamina so time will tell if it will be a golden age of stability or one of continuous turmoil.

I personally think we are in transition from turmoil into a golden age. History will judge him like it's judged all people in power

cadoras my old friend, stamina killed clyde guy who came from his own city for stupid reasons, i know that girl who joined clyde was his relative and everything could be solved with little conversation besides

atm he is running things on these shores and i dont see any good things, he saw what was happening in lv during few weeks and did pretty much same with detroit, there was few cities opened at that time and instead of sending one at the time and closing city was better than sending few leaders when we all know what was about to happen,take downs and wars....out streets need rebuilding not wars

frendz Vegas has been stable for quite some time Do to the current crop of leaders working togther, As we have found out Rick James came into Detroit thinking that the mentality he had inbuilt in him from his time in Chicago would fly in Detroit. Guess he was wrong Rick James bought that on himself Stamina had nothing to do with that, Now the crews sent to Detroit was agreed by Not only Stamina but Sinfest, Clarity,Monet and i think it was Animal out of Vegas but i could be wrong. To hold Stamina to blame for Detroits problems is sheer stupidy. It was not New Orleans that killed Batman it was Chicago it was Not New Orleans that Killed Grizzly It was Chicago should i continue?

I asure you i have a very complete list if you want to hear it?

Now a true tyrannical action would be an over reaction to this dream i had, i dreamt I was in a war against all  the community.  Each of the community was trying to be the last man standing and it was as exciting as it was frightening.  My adrenalin pumped as various people wounded me but i marked the names in a journal..  Now a true tyrant would remember all these names and hunt them and watch who works well together but most people would look on and say your mad.

The truth is we are trying to move away from an era where your guilty by association, and bloodlines cursed and hunted have the same opportunities as fresh faces to the shore.  A true tyrant would decimate whats left of society and move his people into cities with the poorest of excuses if any.  I would also think a tyrant would feel he did not need to talk to other cities to place judgement as we have seen with cities issuing Godfather council rulings without even consulting the Godfather council.  Thats just my opinion though.
