| Pickle Posse in Chicago. | Started by: Branston on Sep 09, '08 12:05 |
|
As the eagle eyed will have noticed, The Pickle Posse are now operating out of Chicago. I had planned to make an announcement on this subject far earlier, though extenuating circumstances made this impossible. I would apologise for this, but frankly I couldn't give a crap if you're upset I didn't address the masses right away. I don't conform to the norm, you see. I don't pander to the masses. Bold statements, but I will begin my reign as I mean to go on. Now, down to business. The Pickle Posse are in Chicago for the foreseeable future, how swanky of us. First of all, I'd like to thank Daera, Marietta and Iris for this wonderful opportunity I have been afforded, but I'll stop there at the risk of turning this into an Oscar acceptance speech. Secondly, I'll tell you the truth beloved mobsters, it saddens me to inherit this great city with all of it's rich history in such circumstances. It's partly because of the brothers and sisters I mourn after the recent war (farce); but it's mostly that given the timing, inevitable comparisons will be drawn between myself and the late Don of Chicago, Alessia, and that is something I do not like the idea of one bit. Yes, it is a sad truth that Chicago has been tarnished by the brush of mediocrity, but rest assured, it's not a perpetual cycle. Me and my family will be working hard to bring the glory days back to Chicago. Whilst on this subject, the normal thing to do here would be to outline my goals and plans for the Windy City, to follow in the footsteps of countless leaders who promise the world and never deliver. I won't do this. It's not because I fear I can't deliver, for I know I can. It's because the community, generally speaking, is mistaken. They believe it is a Leader's job to cater to the mobsters of our thing, and as I've outlined in my opening statement, I will not pander to the masses. In short, I will not stand before you spouting feeble promises like a sleazy politician, desperate to gain the approval of the plebeians. I will retire to my fancy HQ and let my actions speak for me. |

If you do not pander to the masses then why have you come out here today to address us? That simple act has catered to our desire for explanations to everything. Thank you for facilitating our curiosity. Perhaps in future in order not to conform you could stay in the HQ and send someone else. That is a valid loophole. Alternatively just follow your own mantra by not pandering to us in the slightest. That would consist of us being left in the dark completely. No one will draw comparisons between you and Alessia. For this to happen a legacy would need to have been left. As far as I am aware she was just a jail break Don who made very little impact on anything. That is other than outlining exactly how not to execute a war against a superior force. I am glad you have not come with empty promises though. The lack of pretence is delightful. As I outlined earlier also you have already catered to us and for this I thank you again. |

To say my very appearance is pandering to the masses is taking things a step to far. The masses expect leaders, by my own standards should I throw up my hands and resign my duties? I have not, incidentally, sated any desire for explanations. I have not said publicly the reasons for my absence, I have not stated why I have moved to Chicago. And to not pander to you in the slightest, to remove myself from the public eye completely, would be detrimental to myself and my family. Whilst I may not wish to cater to every whim of the masses, I am not stupid enough to scorn them totally. To suggest a Don has not left behind a legacy is ridiculous. The amount of loyalty she received was staggering. A Don threw away his life fighting a cause he knew to be near impossible, such was his loyalty to her. Her family died one by one without, to my knowledge, a single traitor who swapped sides, such was their loyalty to her. Conversely, after her death she has received recognition many times from those who were increasingly critical of her leadership, both her and in the coffeeshops. In fact, to even suggest she leaves no legacy because she was "just a jail break Don" is a contradiction in itself. She will, sadly, be remembered as the person who 'jail breaked' their way to the top. There's your legacy. |

FlyingPig walks out in to the street and notices a pickle arguing with a male masturbatory device. "What is this world coming to?" Shakes his head, lets out an 'oink', and flies away |

Some would say that Mr. Pickle and VagINaTube are a match made in heaven. If it fits don't knock it. |

Hmmm... I must say, the last person to run Chicago was quite...never mind. You just try your hardest, and Chicago will probably restored to greatness. Zish takes a look around, pokes Primal, then returns to his HQ. |

Frank emerges from the crowd to have his say "I think Alessia was a great person, but perhaps not such a great leader. My and her family trees go back many, many generations so I'm not going to insult her. However I think a lot of people (i.e her family members) were willing to die for her because she took care of everyone in the family and tried to cater for everyones needs. Unfortunatly in doing so, she neglected the people on the outside and her street presence was virtually non-existant. However, except from the family heads and their trusty RHM and LHM, I don't see how other people can comment on how good a crewleader she was. They seem to forget what responsibilites are entrusted in them and what sacrifices are made by family heads. I would sure love to see some of the people with the criticisms try and run a city for themselves and then comment on other crewleaders." Frank pauses for a moment to catch his breath "However, I am not here to start an argument, far from it. I am here to voice my support for Branston. A man well capable of bringing Chicago back to its former glory days. I can't wait to see what businesses prosper from the Windy City. |

| I look forward to seeing what you do with Chicago, Branston. I expected no less than you doing it your way and only your way, I've no doubt that you'll get it back on its feet. Your bloodline hasn't gained the respect it holds through not knowing how things work on these shores. Best of luck to you! | |
