Clearly this person is speaking the truth, the grand total of zero conversations I ever had with him are quite apparent evidence that he knows me well enough to come to this conclusion.

Some of you might not recall this lovely fellows bloodline, who is apparently still under the delusion that he was anything more than a puppet to provide some bloodthirsty leaders at the time with a scapegoat.

I'm still curious what the point of all this was but I have much more interesting things to occupy me, like watching paint dry. Good day!

Aiden.

Exploiting bugs?  I am assuming you are referring to insects in this instance?  So lets be fair, if you have the nous to exploit them to your, and others benefitm then fair play to the lad.........

Actually "The Bug" was the codename we used for the local drug dealer. You see this person exploited the Bug, he took his drug prices from him and pasted them all over the place in the HQ. All those posters meant that people everywhere in the HQ were seeing his name, this gained him a bigger reputation and meant his name was on the boss's mind more often and allowed him to easily make the next step up in this thing of ours, quickly rising through the ranks with no real effort at all.

Hope that clears up that situation.

Cab... my dear cabbie... I didn't know we had gone back to the times where it is cool to pick on people for OOCitis. Does that mean I can pick on you for your spelling, let alone the disrespect?

First, my name is AidAn. No "e" in my name. Then tell me what "benefitm" means. Sure this is all petty. But just as petty as you are being.

Tyrion's interpretation just shows how brilliant we can get if we put our mind to explaining things that are not really pertaining to this world. The problem with what Tyrion did, is that if people didn't already know what we were talking about, due to my OOCitis, I fear many people would not understand what we are really talking about.

To wrap this up... I am also appalled and afraid that you are willing to CHEAT if you ever find an instance where you could. Let me remind you that the gods will smite you where you stand if you are ever found guilty of benefiting from cheating MafiaReturns itself. So, no, actually quite the opposite to "fair play" to the lad...

Don Aidan, if Don succumbs to OOCitis, what does that say to the new members of this thing of ours? We'll have OOCitis running rampant in the streets, and there will be blood and vomit on the walls. I dare say one such as yourself should head to the local clinic and get it cleaned up. Also, there's a river of beetles following you around, might these be the insects that Cab was speaking of?

Earner Anubis, OOCitis is a terrible terrible disease. I hope that the vallant efforts from you and Cab have ceased this plague before it spreads. I only hope no insects were harmed in this war against OOCitis.

I did'nt think i'd bring myself to speak out here today but... if this is a place where earners and Capo's can disrespect Don's by pointing out the way they speak to mock them... why would Aidan make an effort into speaking in a fashion that suits you? From his replies i think that is exactly the point he has made, mock him for a word and disrespect him and he will throw the hole bible at your face. He is a Don and a highly respected CrewLeader of philadelphia. I suggest you go about your daily routines instead of wasting his precious time here. 

And to all the newly's in this thing of ours. Let this lesson be learned, if you are to speak out in the streets, make sure you know how to respect people who out rank you or hold a very important position within their organisation.

If you mock them for something, well... dont expect them to sit back and take a pill. This is a very dangerous place to be, dont let anyone prove you otherwise!

Aidan, Aiden, Aden, Ayden.

It really does not matter how I orate it, it sounds the same.  Had I not been orating and had been writing then I would apologise for a slight grammatical error on my part. 

Seeing as I was orating though, I shall notm.  I should also take this opportunity to apologisem for my slight speech impediment, making fun of people for such things is un-cool however and a little understanding from those suited people in this thing of ours would be appreciated!  But, you were not to know, so I forgive you!

Cheating?  You are goddamn right.  Every day I hit those corner stores, I snatch those purses.  I have held up many a bank in my time and there is nothing I like more than cheating the dregs of our society out of their lives.  So yes, I am a cheat, as are you, as is DeadlySin and most all of the mobsters running the streets in this thing of ours.  But of course, your OOC'itis had evidently taken over again so I will say no more on the subject and let the masses judge you.  I will be praying to the Gods tonight for some sort of recompense for character assassination, I recommend you think before you go throwing such serious allegations around.

Cool to pick on people for OOC'itis!  Yes, that's why I was doing it, to pick on you.  Jesus, cry me a river; OOC'itis is far from petty and had it been anyone else suffering from such a huge bout of said disease I would have jumped down their throats just as aggressively. 

This disease has long been Taboo in this thing of ours and if you feel it is a trivial, petty matter then you should be steering well clear of these streets.  I think you will find that when it comes to OOC'itis, 95% of the population will not agree with you that it is a trivial matter and moreso, will agree that it is certainly not something that can be flippantly passed off as "petty".

I'll leave the court open for you to attempt another put-down, I quite enjoy it, honestly!

*kiss kiss*

The_Gent

Let me break this down for you:

"I did'nt think i'd bring myself to speak out here today but... if this is a place where earners and Capo's can disrespect Don's by pointing out the way they speak to mock them..."

Exactly how was I mocking him?  I merely made a witty retort to something that was said on our streets.  Christ almighty, people wonder why people struggle to bring themselves to the streets and it is opinions like yours that precipitate the problem.

"why would Aidan make an effort into speaking in a fashion that suits you?"

Exactly, why would he?  Doesn't make OOC'itis any more acceptable and if you would like me to point you to a street speech where one of his ancestors makes a massive deal out of it I will be more than happy to do so........

"From his replies i think that is exactly the point he has made, mock him for a word and disrespect him and he will throw the hole bible at your face."

I'm not sure what you are talking about here......he can throw Bible's at me all he wants, regardless of whether it is full of holes or not.

He is a Don and a highly respected CrewLeader of philadelphia. I suggest you go about your daily routines instead of wasting his precious time here.

If I was wasting his time, would he have bothered to reply?  I think not.

And to all the newly's in this thing of ours. Let this lesson be learned, if you are to speak out in the streets, make sure you know how to respect people who out rank you or hold a very important position within their organisation.

Are you insinuating I am "new" to this thing of ours?  You are right though, respect is a necessity, but it is earned, not given.  This is possibly a more important lesson.

*kiss kiss*

I wouldn't hold your breath there, Cab. I see no reason why the man who's name can be said in many ways should give you the time of day?

Is OOCitis petty? No. Is making a big deal about it in the streets to scald someone who you should be showing respect to petty? Yes. Had you a serious issue with the OOCitis on display, then you would have surely taken the proper steps to inform Aidan that you felt his disease needed to be tended to so as not to harm others that walk these streets, thus allowing your issue to be addressed and also preventing the streets from being flooded with petty squabbling.

I'm sure you meant no offence, in fact I'm sure your condescending kiss kiss meant none either, so I'll ignore it, lest we sit here all day bantering back and forth with petulant remarks toward one another. I may be an imp and a bastard, but I still have better things to do.

Tyrion, Tyrion, Tyrion,

I didn't make a big deal out of it.

My original oration lasted all of 15 seconds, maybe less.  Hardly a big deal I think you'll agree, then again I guess most things seem big to you?

In fact, I do believe I made absolutely no mention of said disease with my original words.

Correct me if I am wrong?

OOC'itis is far from petty and had it been anyone else suffering from such a huge bout of said disease I would have jumped down their throats just as aggressively.

 You must excuse my ignorance, but that clearly confirms your comment was meant with regard to the disease. If not, then your whole point here has been lost on not only me, but even Anubis who stood shoulder to shoulder with you and proclaimed the disease a problem.

I don’t disagree that OOCitis is an issue that needs stopped, think of all those poor women and children that die from it everyday! The bigger issue I feel though is respect. Lack of that has claimed more lives than OOCitis I think.

I feel that this ground has been more than covered though, it’s about time we simply left this matter to rest.

Ahhh,

You were talking about my second oration.

Forgive me, I assumed we were still talking about the original offering.  The second offering was a retort to more inane babble and therefore though it may be construed as petty by some, it was simply a reply to an offering from your employer.

Petty, maybe, entertaining (for me), incredibly.

But as you say, maybe it is time to let sleeping dogs lie.

Cab_Tufting... i am quite busy today but i will answer you in way that you might understand... or not. <o:p></o:p>

If you go back with what i said... quite cleary you remember every word of it so it seems. I refer to earners and Capo's and also gave a message to the newby's... because a eaner and a Capo pointed out Aidan's OOC'itis and tried to make a big deal of it. My reply was a message for it seemed that you mention there are ways to behave in the streets, at least that is what i understood. Not only you but others as well, i am just amazed at how a snow flake turns into a snowball but rolling down a hill so rapidely. <o:p></o:p>

But.... i wonder why you would think this is ALL about you? It is not only about you... my message to newby's was for the ones that dont know their way around here. The newly's... i am well aware of your bloodline, we dont really know each other but name sticks out every now and then and so often. Which is why i am taking the time to answer you, and i am sure at some point you do agree with what i said. We all have a general idea of what is disrespect and what  is not, but it is up to the others to decide either it is or is not. You cannot control what others will think of what you mean when you speak. That is the true danger, and... from the way things were going, the snow flake you created just by mentionning Aidan's OOC'itis turned into a snowball. <o:p></o:p>

I was hoping to prevent it by commenting what i said. Clearly you have spoken before listening and the snowball what left loose growing bigger. It is a big deal when you refer to a high rank and cannot spell his/her name correctly. It  only takes seconds to figure out how it is spelled and while it contains 5 letters.... makes me wonder if it was in purpose? So... that IS a form of disrespect and i hope that the actual newby's understood what i ment. So they wont repeat the same mistake. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I am totally confused now.

I can see why, in your own words, you "don't bring yourself to speak" here often.

Good day to you.

Cab, cab, cab, 

You’re negating away from the main point points of arguments and are contradicting your own argument. You’re being rude, for shits and giggles, this goes way past any arguments you steered towards ooc-itis and thus making you look petulant, for no solid reason. 

Its attitudes like yours that make people, who are less prolific with their language, turn their heads away from the streets, and you sir, I find extremely rude and your outlook is all wrong. If you’re so self righteous and you obviously believe you’re better than the rest of us, I plead with you too offer your services to those who need the help and not mock them and make them look stupid.

Please,

Enlighten me as to exactly how I am contradicting my own argument?

sic: A combination of statements, ideas, or features of a situation that are opposed to one another.

I can see no contradictions at all.

I addressed all of The_Gents' arguments yet he did not even do me the service of listening to my reply, lest the final point I addressed.

So, who is doing who the disservice?

Anubis, I thought better of you. Maybe you are not the same Anubis who made that name famous around these lands and then I am not in the least surprised or bothered by your comment. You are a nobody to me. If you ARE related to the famous Anubis, then you should know better and respect me for my rank and speak of the issue we are discussing. I will not stand her and be made fun of and disrespected.

Cabbie, you may think they sound the same, but they don't. I would prefer you addressed me by my name in the correct form. If not, you can just call me Don of the Leprechauns if that suits you better.

And please don't act stupid, the kind of cheating I speak of is not about breaking the law. It is the kind of cheating that will have your reputation stripped away by the gods or even killed by them. If you don't really know what I'm referring to, then stay out of the conversation. You disgust me, defending the actions of somebody who would cheat. Oh, feel free to suggest a better wording for it, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna be jumping through hoops to suits whatever preferences you have.

I am tired of my bloodline always being on the "wrong end" of these stupid discussions. When I criticize a lazy conspiracy theorist I have to deal with a bunch of people who think it is the right thing to defend the lazy just to go against my words. Now, when I take a less rigid approach, I have to deal with another bunch of low lives who have nothing better to do that to nitpick what I say and defend a cheater?

I can understand how certain people enjoy pushing my buttons and looking for a reaction, so here it is. I don't need the streets to do my job and enjoy my line of work. I was only spending time here trying to do my part in keeping the streets alive.

If this continues, then I will be forced to one of two choices, either take it up with your leaders and force a humbling apology or just stay away from the streets because I don't have the time or the energy for people like you.

We are always complaining about the lack of activity in these streets and then look how we drag each other through the mud for a stupid topic like this. I hope the next time you address me, you take both our places into consideration.

you're, simply for your ignornace. Its just as uncalled for to have ooc-itis as it is to mock someones ability, which you have done, needlessly.

Much as it is highly ignorant to speak without analysing the other arguments thoroughly.

I can't be contradicting myself by being ignorant.  That makes me ignorant, not contradictory.......
