This is exceptional work, BillCorsica. 

I'd like to list a couple of the good qualities you have shown me since coming onboard as my associate:

1. Communication, communication, communication. You've been a rock solid communicator. 

2. Respect. You've communicated a lot of respect in my direction. That's rock solid. 

3. Walking the walk, not just talking the talk. Your constant communication of respect has proved you're a man of action. That's solid. Rock solid. 

Who will be left once Spike and Brent finish purging everyone?

With all the communication being communicated and all the respect being given out I would like to respectfully communicate the fact that respectful communication is the key to success.

I cannot stress enough the importance of respectful communication and I respect the fact that Brent through his associate communicated in no unclear terms that he demands respect and communication but most importantly a respectful communication from all his associates.

I can respect your respectful commentary on the respect shown here, DrPepper.

Otis...don't make me get the newspaper. 

There is a better way not to die in brent's family and that is not to join it in the first place. Problem solved.

DrPepper, all deaths are merely deaths. The simple fact of remaining crew less and paving your own path does not make i disrespectful on it's own.

I think for many at this current time the benefits of remaining outside of "respectful" crews may outweigh actually joining one. For example, some crew leaders have taxes, outside of families you are guaranteed to be tax free. This allows for placing money into investments without feeling obligated to share your wealth. It also means if the purge whispers are true that they also cannot be purged after putting in effort. Again, some might be more endeared to this than seeing that if they put in effort, it is gone on a whim or a whisper of bloodlines and prior acts that have no bearing on the here or now.

For some this can be extremely appealing at this current stage on these shores.

Settle down, Captain Obvious. It's just a couple of mobsters having a laugh and a good time. Nobody is trying to unravel Cosa Nostra, here, except maybe Moryana. What stuck out the most in your mini-diatribe is the judgment coming from a wiseguy. I'm not talking about the boring recitation of our traditional principles, which everyone already knows. I'm talking about the finger pointing regarding people's abilities, intentions, and character. It's easy to throw out vague, indirect accusations, but it is also cowardly.  Who is inadequate, Frank?

Excellent advice, BillCorsica. I can say that I have been practicing this advice and it has done me a lot of good. As you all can see, I'm 

extremely alive.

FrankCastigilia, yes I do have a long family history on these shores. I also have had an ancestor that remained unhamed for over 50 days on these shores until they took a bullet. Perhaps my line was just lucky at the time, but let's not pretend it is not possible to do so if it has already been done. I do enjoy your threats though, always a winning strategy.

Otis, How did you catch onto my plans? Now I need to change them! 

Thank God Frank is here to explain how to live a long and prosperous life. Nine days in the mob and he has this level of insight. Phenomenal. True Godfather material right here. I’m genuinely astonished. So simple too - if only more people understood the meaning of Omertà we wouldn’t be seeing these mass purges killings. You’re an inspiration to us all Frank. Well done on your nine day tenure.
