I believe that it is quite clear that I was speaking to Sneakers and Sneakers only. If it's not I apologize, but using the word you and quoting her, I figured that it was obvious. Everyone is quite welcome here, my pointing out that someone discouraging people from this world is appalling should make that apparent. I honestly just can't sit back and watch someone preach class, when they themselves are showing absolutely none at all. Again I apologize that you took my comments and directed them at yourself.

Considering Sneaker has only talked once in public and knowing her as well as I do I know she was not the one who discouraged people from joining this thing of ours. We are moving on and have both asked others to do the same. Complaining is not my style at all and I don't like hearing it.

That was my first comment in these streets as far as i see.

Looks like you people need to do research.

I did not say you were running around these streets. You were running around streets outside of this world saying extremely negative and bitter things. I can reshare them here if you'd like?

I don't think that will be needed miss , i'd prefer if everyone could just be calm and go about there day and do what good mafioso do.

Extremely negative and bitter things can be faked on logs of outside communication. If Sneaker told others to go away from this life she wouldn't be here.

Cassi,

Share it with them please.

Not needed. I've seen it. Apparently my request for people not to complain in public wasn't followed to outside streets. I'm done asking people to stop. It's a waste of time.

Mudkip, you're right. Time to get on with the day.

perhaps this little passage might help those who have a problem moving on from recent events;

Grant me the serenity 
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Just seems right as no matter how you feel whether right or wrong, you cannot change what has been done.

Even though he believe's this is not going to help Gent decides to speak his mind!

"One thing i have noticed... reading diaries from my bloodline is that people get very emotional when war occurs and they die from it. Why? Well, that is quite obvious, we work hard to get where we are when we end up in a leading position. When war hits our own city we want to protect it. Some people say nasty things either it's in the streets, coffee shops or even do other things to make others look bad. Well... i dont really care what people think other than my upper structure of course, i do what i can when i can. And if i die... well, i would just start over and try to become better and wiser than my own father was.

Saying negative things here or in coffee shops only attracks negative comments and can affect my reputation. A reputation is very hard to build but very easy to destroy. Of course, we all have good friends around us and those that know us knows when we get carried out because of emotions and when we are actualy serious. Only thing is... those that dont know us, will rely on our reputation to judge us. Will rely on what has been said recently, despite the great things we have done in the past. There is a very fine line between the streets and the coffee shops, there are linked together most likely than not.

In short, it is always wiser and better to stay calm and not let our own emotions speak our minds. Especially if we want our good reputation to remain alive and healthy. I can't say that i have always followed my own example here, but i sure as hell try my best to not let emotions get in the way of my reputation. And i did learn for errors of the past! I do hope that those who died during that war taught their kins well and their kins will turn out to become great mobsters.

To succeed in this life, unfortunately means that our lives will end up beeing cut short eventualy. It is only a matter of time!"

Move on & Dream on.

As Gent was talking with a friend then he suddenly heard something and decided to comment on it!

"Dream on?

It is one thing to have dreams, everyone has them. It is another to set goals to yourself and make those dreams come true. The climb is steep indeed, but if you take it one step at a time... you will get there. There is no rush at getting to the top and i do understand that the path is not easy. My bloodline has taught me that patience is the key to success. It takes only time and patience to really get to where you actualy want to go! And once you are there, dont be surprised if others will eventualy want to take it away from you. That is why... reputation is something you really need to protect. Friendship is really important as well as letting go of the past. If you dont let go... it will eventualy burn you up!"

Gent smiles and turns back to his friend to continue his conversation...

Some argue that war is immoral because it causes the death of innocents. Thereis a flaw in this logic, without the deaths of innocents there would rarely be war, war that is needed. I'm not saying this war was needed but everyone has different opinions. Deal with it.

"Really? You mind to elaborate on that for me? Or are you trying to say that war is going to happen no matter what?"

Thereis a flaw in this logic, without the deaths of innocents there would rarely be war, war that is needed.

"I think there is a flaw in that logic, sir. The innocent need to die? We would never have war unless the innocent died? I'm sorry, I disagree with everything you said here. Unless you meant war will happen by all means, because I do believe that.

So you are saying, hypothetically of course, Revolve should have died in that last big war? He is one of the innocent. According to you, it is ok if he would have and it something to just 'deal with'. Without their deaths there wouldn't be war? Some of us do deal with death well, some don't. That is life as we know it. I watched my uncle on his death bed... dealing with it. If I can deal with death like he does when my time comes, I am a very lucky person. However Mr.Whitty, I don't agree with you.. at all."

Can this thread please die already? I'm gonna put out a bit of advice you all will probably choose to ignore, but hell I'm supposed to be the schizophrenic Merc with a Mouth so I might as well talk to myself in public.

For those who died: No matter what you say, whining or not (and yes there will always be people whining after a war), the winning side will always have someone trying to pin you as nothing but a sore loser if you speak about previous wars in the streets. So please for the love of God don't even speak in the streets. If their reasoning is really as crude and stupid as you think it is I'm certain it'll be used in their own take down threads.

For the winning side: You're doing yourselves no favors coming out here after the initial post, really. Some of you want to paint this thread so that the responses are all positive for your side and it can come across as rubbing it in the faces of the losers (which spurs them to continue speaking which is what you want them to stop doing) after a while when you keep bringing up their faults and over scrutinizing every decision (usually as if they acted irrationally and their motives were simply those of a crazy person). This happens after every war and it's just as bad as whining, in my opinion. Someone will eventually do this to you unless we make a culture change by making it a norm to simply ignore the whiny war orphans or at least be respectful of the dead in our responses because eventually we all die and you'll be the ones getting over scrutinized for everything you ever did.

My main point of course being, everyone please drop it. I'm certain by now you all realize you'll never agree and this entire back and forth is pointless. I haven't even read most of these responses I'm just going on what I assume happened which is what happens after every war ever.

Phil_Steak takes a second to glance at the confused individual, reminding people of a topic by telling them to let it go.

Confused, Phil_Steak proceeds on with this day, chalking this one up to a mentally unstable reaction by one to losing a loved one. With time and maybe mental help, he feels this person will recover. 

WhereWasWadeWilson reads Phil's mind and thinks "The last comment before mine was an hour before hand and is literally asking for a response. There are people still going back and forth and if you asked anyone who has spoken to me much lately my bloodline hasn't minded getting shot at since its return so clearly it's not over losing a loved one. I am mentally unstable, but that's probably because I'm a schitzophrenic mercenary and there is no helping me. I could say something to him but then he'd know I can read his mind."

WhereWasWadeWilson also can't help but wonder if Phil read the part about the winners trying to make the losers look bad and is playfully trolling him or just didn't read it and is doing it to the guy who tried to come out and end the bickering because Phil thought he cared about his father dying. Either way WhereWasWadeWilson knew what was important. There was a taco shack nearby and WhereWasWadeWilson would not be stopped from getting to it even if he had to kill every man, woman, and mutant in his way.

Phil_Steak glances at WhereWasWadeWilson, realizing that he is somehow able to read his thoughts.

Thinking to himself once again, "I bet is his father had the ability to read my thoughts, he would still be alive today."

WhereWasWadeWilson falls over laughing, embarrassing himself in public, at Phil's thought of Wade or any of his bloodline actually caring about the deaths of any of his ancestors. WhereWasWadeWilson turns to help ease the pain of the Godfather who couldn't comprehend someone who doesn't care if they live or die, but instead leaves him in his confused look wondering why he fell over laughing. Wade had better things to do so he continued towards the taco shack, stabbing the rotting corpse of FlouryTortoise that still hadn't been cleaned up with his sword along the way.

(OOC: You mad I'm not mad, bro? Why are you the one keeping this alive.)

WhereWasWadeWilson,

Your mind works in strange ways. Nowhere in my thoughts did I say anything about your father CARING if he lives or died.
I simply stated, if your father had the ability to read my mind as you did, he may have been ability to do something to stop the events from transpiring.
Clearly, this desire for you to think I said something when I didn't is rooted in the anger inside of you currently. I am sorry if you're mad, but please don't take it out on me.
