Rest in peace to all of the deceased on behalf of Hunting Season.

I say we call this the "Lockpick War" since lockpicking came out only hours before the war popped off.

And my respects go out to all the fallen!

may the fallen rest in piece but quinten's ends justified the means and his show of restraint in sparing the wise guys and below

I must say I never like to see war. And in the way this one started was just wrong! But I must say quinten you did a respectable thing by allowing the associates the right to live!

So, from what I understand, young Mr Gear, was shot down by a stray bullet.  Later that day, the massive sum of 6 million dollars was paid as compensation for the life of a man who worked for your organization for 7 days.  Following this, Mr. Gear's thug son continued to complain about his father's compensated death so much within earshot of a Crew Leader from another city, that she felt the need to contact you about the continued issue, and instead of apologizing and letting her know that you feel the issue has been satisfactorily resolved you decide to kill her and the other members of her city?  This seems extraordinarily rash to me... maybe you can help me understand the need for this drastic action?

No, he was expressing his feelings of remorse as she was stating we were trying to resolve this issue. He had not received any compensation of any kind yet. 

It was hard to see her apology at first as solid when she was asking for an apology in return, Lucia. It's quite redundant to be like "Im sorry for shooting your member, but he said he's not happy, here's the 6 mil I owe you, can you have him apologize to me now?.

He literally said, He was still unhappy. Does that grant someone the authority to come to my mailbox and request anything in return, after such a big mistake from a Leader from an outfit? I think not.

We didn't kill all the members of Queens, we have allowed the associates to live from Queens to find homes.

Had you and I arranged a deal of compensation, I would expect that your family would agree and abide by it.  To allow a thug to do otherwise, could only serve to continue bad blood between the two families involved.  Compensation is meant to smooth burnt bridges.  How could she possibly believe that they were truly mended with a thug still mentioning it.   6 million, after all, is not chump change.  That young thug could live out his days in peace.. his children and his children's children as well. 

I can understand the young man being unhappy, but, if you are working towards an up front, honest and honorable relationship with another city, surely the best decision would have been to say the few words needed to alleviate her fears?

You know what I have learned in the time I have been on these shores? If it doesn't concern my city... it's none of my business. 

Grievances to the departed and back to the casino I go </3

If people feel strongly enough to get involved let them do so.

I don't let anyone do anything. I am just voicing my personal opinion. 

No judgement being passed at all. Just saying that my personal opinion on the matter... doesn't really matter, does it?

I tried to go that route Lucia, but as I stated, words were exchanged in a heated manner, raising them to levels it really didn't need to go to. 

No one wanted this war to happen, we tried to have a light removal for that reason, Lex_Luthor and Veronica weren't so willing to sit there and just let things happen. 

You're right, compensation is to alleviate pains from our loss, and it did to and extent, but the blatant disrespect after expecting things, before that compensation actually went through, is a bit redundant once again.

I was disrespected on multiple occasions from Lex, which honestly didn't help the case either. This war was brought upon themselves to be honest, it started from meaningless antics, but it grew into something that was taken personally. 

I will say again, I was close with Lex in my opinion, he and I spoke on a regular basis. I wasn't expecting something like this at all :/.

Lex_Luthor and Veronica weren't so willing to sit there and just let things happen. 

When I say this, I meant it in the context as to just admit things aren't worth being upset over when you make a mistake. You're supposed to apologize, and explains things. 

Not get bent out of shape over the person you "accidentally" shot, still isn't happy about you shooting them.

But honestly kill all why not just aerobics and lex let the others walk

When you're a Made Man or above In a family there is almost no way out aside from death Poseidon, we didn't kill all, we have allowed all wise guys and below to find homes. I've stated that above.

Still wrong if you ask me stated or not it wasn't a fair slaughter two crews over one guy lol 

It wasn't over just the one guy, it was the reactions I had in return Poseidon, I've clearly thoroughly stated this.

Poseidon when someone reaches the prestigious rank of Made Man it is their responsibility/duty to continue their Crew leaders war. No other way around it in my opinion, and I am very glad Wise Man and below where spared something we rarely see now a days.

RIP too the fallen.

Either way sorry I didn't mean disrespect to anyone just had some good people in there

That's usually the most unfortunate part of war, I had many friends I personally had to see die tonight, it's not always as easy as some may think it is to kill.

i don't take anything you say personally, I was only retorting to allow people what I promised, an explanation if questions or concerns were at hand.
