As we've seen over the past few weeks the amount of crewleaders has been whittled down to two people. With the volume of people in our community who have been affected by these two crewleaders many are not going to wish to join either of their families. So what is to become of the homeless? Are we just going to have to sit and wait hoping that someday someone will get auth that is different, but then who knows how long they will stay auth'd will Disco Duck have another paranoia attack and take them out. You'd have thought by now stability would have returned to this world but it seems that we are slipping more and more each day. I know for a fact that I don't wish to join DD or Rhett, my bloodline has lost two bosses to their war efforts and I'm not the kind to turn my tail and go running for cover. So what happens to those like me? Do we just sit and wait to die? Is that was this world is becoming? Two families and the rest can just be target practice? |

| i completely agree i am in the exact same position. i do not wanna join one of the two families responsible for taking down our late fearless leader tank mage, and my only option is to wait and hope a new CL rolls around and i can join up with them. | |

What is going to happen? Well, the two current leaders will auth people of their choice. So no matter who you wait for and who you join you shall still be under them. If no other family appears will you still stay homeless through your bloodline? It'll be a long family tree if so. So, you can have your little protests and get killed or you can use your heads and perhaps change things a few weeks down the line. It's put up time folks. Don't be tards, be smert! |

How exactly are we supposed to be smart in your opinion? Suck up our morals and everything we know and join a crew whose CL we loathe just so we can survive? If no other CLs pop up, I am willing to die 300 times before v.2 to stick to my morals. If we were to join one of these two families and work our way up to being authed, as soon as we come out that we are who we are, DD will feel threatened and just kill us anyway. All that work down the tubes because someone doesn't want to play the game and keep things interesting by keeping more than one CL around. Woo hoo. |

| If I get auth down the road, I'm going to shoot other leaders all the time, then use their members for target practice. That would be a hoot. | |

Yes Bella. Pretty much. You suck up your morals, Get off your moral high horse and do what you can to live. You go ahead fight your pointless crusade of dying 300 times before our world changes forever. Personaly, i don't see the point. You will not change anything nor will you achieve anything. Evetually everyone gets bored of dying, as will you. Also, you do not need to be Bold to change this world should you so wish. Also also, i said smert not smart. |

I'm sorry Scandia, but my morals must mean a little more than yours do. Moral (def): founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom To me, morals are something that cannot be compromised, or sucked up. The word fundamental in that definition means that the 'correct' conduct for a person is not necessarily what the custom requires (in this case, to join a family you hate just so you can stay alive) So maybe I'm just willing to stand out and take my chances. Maybe I refuse to be mixed up in this world just for power. Maybe I just want this game to be fun for anyone. Maybe I know that I do not stand alone in this sentiment. But maybe, just maybe, I know there is more to this game than power. It's about friends and fun and having something fun to do during the day. At least that's what the game means to me, and I know I'm not alone. |

Fuck your morals. We're mafiosi. We sell drugs. We kill people for money. We're backstabbers, sellouts, and whores. There hasn't been anything "honorable" about our organization since we started terrifying the locals we used to protect, and that was long before any of our ancestors set foot into these six cities. You want power? Fucking take it. You want change? Make it happen. You want to be a hero? Join the fire department. Nothing but crooks around here. Balls up or sit the fuck down. |

I'm going to be dead honest here. I am sick and fucking tired from hearing about this 'paranoia' you all claim DiscoDuck suffers from. There is no such thing. He does not hide in the basement of his HQ muttering feverishly as he draws up pie charts and makes detailed portfolios on each of the other Family Heads, so just drop this silly and unfounded illusion. May I remind you that until last night, DiscoDuck, Rhett, Tank-Mage and (more recently) Gero were all allies? That they fought alongside each other in a multitude of wars that saw many fallen crew-leaders. That, le gasp, they even worked together? Are you honestly saying that just one man's 'paranoia' was the driving force and influence behind each and every one of these attacks? If this is indeed what you are implying, then perhaps Tank-Mage and Gero were not the heroes you all claim that they were. If time after time they 'willingly' went along with these 'attacks out of pre-emptive paranoia', how can they have ever been strong leaders in this world? After all, what sort of noble and empowered leader bend's his will to another's 'follies'? From my personal experience of working with the two late men, they were far from followers. They were very much capable of taking charge and taking action when they needed to. So let's all just cut the bullshit and let this paranoia thing lay to rest. Sorry to get a little off topic by straying back to the original topic... That being said, I admire those of you who want to stick to their 'morals' or 'guns' or what not and boycott joining these two families. I hope you all find some way to survive until another auth (suitable to your personal preferences, of course) arrives. Or, instead of whining that the world needs to be changed, you can try to make those differences happen. Take a large gulp to swallow that pride and realize you'll do a hell of a lot more around here alive than dead. Scandia was dead right- you do not need to be bold to make a difference. Or listen to Six (a lovely man once you get to know him)- put up or shut up. |

Amen brother. The mafia is about friends and fun? It's going to take me a long time to stop laughing about that one. |

This is no game. This is my life and i don't like the odds of your life lasting much longer with your attitude. I have fun in the day without dying. Seeing your family line die every 24 hours is going to be fun is it? Get a grip of yourself. Let go of the anger you are holding and make this world what YOU want it to be. It is just going to take some work, perhaps you feel you are not up to it? Also, what is the definition of a 'right way to act'. You base your morals upon it, so it must be some definition! |

Well then my information about an HQ that didn't even happen must be terribly incorrect, which I very highly doubt. And as for a side note, I don't know why everyone keeps telling each other to sit down and shut up. I have never claimed that I am standing on a soapbox, and I am very literally sitting down. One does not need to stand up to be heard. |

Everyone has a different definition of what it means. To me it means not selling out and joining a crew I hate just so I can stay alive. I'm sorry if everyone thinks that I am stupid, or paranoid, or whatever, but just from the way these CLs are handling themselves, and the fact that they haven't said anything noticeable lately makes me want to stay as far away from them as possible. I believe it is possible to have a CL who cares about what people think enough to want people to join their family because they want to be a part of it, not just to stay alive. But fuck all with what is possible, because we have to live in the present and do whatever the game and the current CLs tell us to do because they're the ones in power and we don't wanna die. Like that's the worst thing in the world. I am very proud of my mother going down in a blaze of glory for her family and her morals. My mother's CLs are the two best people on this game, and I am proud to stand by any person in the two families that I have learned to trust and respect. Without trust and respect, what do we have around here? That's right, suspicion and paranoia about everything and everyone around us. And to me, I would rather die. |

Crewleaders have been mutes for quite a while now Bella. This batch are more talkative than most were before the resets, in my eyes at least. You would not be selling out. You are your Mothers child not your mother herself. You never stood alongside with the 2 family lines. Yes, you could respect them but you have no ties with them personaly. You would be selling out no-one by joining a crew put before you and working hard to change this world. Hell, my lineage has been missing from these streets for to long and that is why you see me stood before you today. This, these streets, are where you can change everything with just a few words. It doesn't have to be done with a gun and you know that. You just feel let down that you were betrayed in the alliance that wortked so well up until last night. However, honestly, if it was vice versa would you be calling Tank and Gero monsters, paranoid and whatever else has been thrown their way? |

By all means, if you want to die, if that would satisfy your "moral obligations", go right a head. Please. Let us know if you need any help. But don't come out here and try to talk yourself up as a martyr. Because it certainly won't change anything, and the only people who care are as foolish and lost as you are. Now, why are martyrs always so goddamn chatty? Because that Jesus guy set a trend? What Would Jesus Do? Why is the answer never "he'd shut the fuck up"? |

It seems one or two people are using hitherto unkown colloquialisms. Being such a nice man, I am taking the proactive step of translating for the masses. I'm sorry Scandia, but my morals must mean a little more than yours do. Read as: I'm sorry Scandia, but whilst some people have worked their way to the top and are now reaping the rewards, I am too lazy to make a difference so I shall sit and moan and prattle on about a load of crap. (The load of crap being the hilarious claim of morality that Six has so kindly debased already) Just to clear up, in no way have I exaggurated, or put words into people's mouths at any point in this speech. To the Victor go the spoils of war |

Well I guess all I can hope for now is that when I do join a family, you all don't come back in here and claim me as a hypocrite. Just because I am willing to do what you asked and take my life into my own hands. Not that I would care anyway. |

Im deffinitly not joinging any of those 2 crews whats the point. My family got killed by them and you cant get madd at someone for not being a pussy and joining the side that killed your family. If you have morals or not thats up to you and you alone, Let people be themselves and do whatever they feel. If someone feels like dying 300 times until the reset because they hate DD and rhett thats there choice. If someone wants to kiss the ass of dd and rhett after killing there boss just to be part of there "take over" thats cool too. Theres no leader that I would feel proud by having there name in my profile so I dont plan on working for them. I would love to change it myself but im not going to join a crew I dont want to be part of to make a change. Surviving is not that important anyway, I'm happier dying alone then living working for someone I hate. So all those of you whos leaders got killed and now your on the other side I'm not going to talk bad about you or anything. Your a great kissass and I'm sure you will have a great time making it to earner. Maybe even all the way up to made man if your ass kissing skills are great enough. Then GREAT JOB youve survived thats going to feel great isnt it. Youve lived. Mark the calendar on that day because you've really really done something. You should be proud =) |

Bare in mind you are not the same person as your father was. So anyone who has joined after dying has not kissed any ass. Also, you said you would not insult anyone but then carried on and did it anyway showing an obvious lack of memory and people skills so please, as our cockney friend said, Jog on. |
