Bricktop enters the streets, fresh out of another meeting, he started preparing himself to explain to the people what happened earlier on the streets of Philadelphia, he didn't want to wait any longer.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the rumor mill in full swing again, I've heard many different stories to what happened in Philadelphia, so I'm here to clear a few things up so everyone is on the same page.

Last week, there was a call made out in one of the coffee shops. This call came from a RHM from Philadelphia, a man who was previously trusted as one of their Crew Leaders, MikeHunt. He wanted the head of one of my men, who was my LHM in Detroit before moving to help the late Kattan set up his HQ. He was asking for the Gods to remove this person, for no good reason whatsoever. These two people have had feuds elsewhere other than on these streets of Mafia Returns, which should have stayed elsewhere and not be brought here. As you can imagine, I was furious when I head the news, and I set out to take the head of the man who wanted the death of my member.

Later that night I started seeing my options, what I could do to stand up for my family, a dear member of mine was wanted dead, luckily by this time they were safe back under my protection, but I was afraid that now Philadelphia would come for us while we slept. Would MikeHunt convince the rest of Philadelphia to take us out, just like Philadelphia previously removed Bianca? Would they strike us down in the same way? It was a hard and sleepless night that night, but the next day I was approached by a friend. He told me that he had seen what had happened, and offered his support if I was to take any action.

A plan was devised, a brilliant but risky plan, one that involved only two districts taking out the majority of a City. At first it seemed impossible, but as the numbers were crunched, we figured out a way it could be done. We knew if one part of Philadelphia was to attack me, they would do it all at once, so we had to act first. We needed to get a hold of my Godfather, we explained the plan and the reasoning behind it, and he agreed to allow me to put the plan into action. We moved the next morning.

Before most of the world could awake gunshots were heard from Philadelphia, the Godfather of South Philadelphia was killed, along with the Godfather of the Old City District. This lead the way to the removal of the other threats to us, anyone who may try to stop us, and included retrieving the head of the man who made the call for my LHM's death. There was a mix of emotions as the two new Godfathers moved into their new homes. There was the joy and relief of what had happened, but at the same time they were not safe yet.

So all of this over the the call for one member dead? Perhaps an over reaction you may ask? Detroit has been through some rough times, I have watched it get nearly wiped out, I have seen it be the punchlines of jokes for being the smallest, but what people didn’t realise, was the punch that was packed into that small city. Two districts were able to take down nearly a whole city, there was a lot of calls saying that they couldn’t have done it alone, they must have had help from their friends in Chicago, but we didn’t. Detroit has now expanded across to the other side of the Country. Myself and MadChild- are going to head the regeneration of this city, take it from what it was and show you something beautiful, something to be proud about.

I want to say a big thank you to those who helped us fight this battle, we all started off in the same home, back in SouthSide Chicago, we grew as one unit, there to help each other out in times of need, and they defiantly showed the strength of the bond we share. I plan to carry this bond onwards into Philadelphia, Where Myself, MadChild-, Ace and Dexter will shed new light into Philadelphia. Ace has set up under myself in South Philly, bringing you the South Syndicate, and Dexter has set up under MadChild in Bella Vista with his crew the Metro Police Forensics Unit.

So, I guess this brings the debate that always follows these actions, everyone is entitled to their opinion of course and I'm sure they will voice it. May the fallen Rest In Peace.

I have nothing to do other than applausing your efforts and balls to defend your family, thats becoming rare these days. DT did an excellent job and im proud of it, not because that im from DT my self but because we stood united to defend our goals fiercily as it should've been.

I congratulate you godfather BrickTop along godfather MadChild-, our new CLs and everyone that helped.

Just for the record, and at regards of being curious. This 'call' that came out in the coffeeshops. Would this happen to be the snippet?

MikeHunt: Why did the RHM of Kattan die as well?
MikeHunt: I thought that was the thing?
Magneto: He didn't?
MikeHunt: didn't*
MikeHunt: my bad.
IzzyCreamcheese: the CL is accountable for the rhm
IzzyCreamcheese: the rhm isnt accountable for the cl
Roberto_Carlos_: Silly Mike.
Sanction: Oh wait
Sanction: So which one was scripting?
FCUK: He was scripting?

I'm just wondering if you guys have really became so sensitive over a simple question that I didn't even know the real answer to due to the Gods changing their minds constantly on the matter and not showing a straight decision to those who have be DDed from this world recently? Or even posted that it had changed for all the members to see for that matter.

I would just like to make sure that the above is the 'call' made in the shops that irritated you so badly.

What. A. Crock. Of. Shit. I rarely come to these streets to bitch after a war or take down, but I will make am exception in this ridiculous case. He didn't PUSH for the rhm to be killed, he merely asked a question in a situation we have seen happening a lot lately. To take out so many people over this bullshit reason is fucking pathetic. I honestly would have rather come out and heard because we can, than this line of flimsy ass bullshit.

"Last week, there was a call made out in one of the coffee shops. This call came from a RHM from Philadelphia, a man who was previously trusted as one of their Crew Leaders, MikeHunt.

A call was made out in the coffee shops? Oh yeah my father asking why didn't the RHM go down as well as a call out alright. I mean seeing other Crew Leaders get DDed before WITH their RHM led him to that question. So again, tell me why he wanted them dead? My father never once asked to remove the person. If you think so, ask the Gods. I'm sure they could share logs, oh no wait there are none because the conversation never happened. 

"These two people have had feuds elsewhere other than on these streets of Mafia Returns, which should have stayed elsewhere and not be brought here."

Who the fuck is anima? My father has never engaged with this person or even knew of them.

I want to echo what Livia said. Grab your balls, and just say you did it because you wanted to. Give the fallen a real reason. 

That's a fair point MakoLovesJynx, of course I could also ask you if it was appropriate for him to ask that with a specific individual in the question, and if you'd really be so naive as to believe the way that question was worded that it was an innocent question to gather information rather than a question worded with the intent to have the gods reconsider killing him?

You can try to claim whatever you wish, but at the end of the day if you found out that I was asking a rogue to kill one of your city's hands in joke form you would have felt slighted or outraged. There are different repercussions for actions of the higher upper structures, and this is the same concept asking asking a rogue to shoot someone but in a different form. Passive-Aggressive attacks... are still attacks. Words can be more dangerous than guns for some members of this world and quite frankly if he wants to use them as a weapon in the future I'll simply suggest that he use a lot more subtlety.

It was that specific individual in the question because it was HIS Crew Leader that got DDed. And in the previous weeks many other RHM and CLs were taken with each other.

And where did my father joke around with having someone killed by someone else? He did not ask for him to be killed, he asked why wasn't he just like the other hands before him and their CLs. This is NOT the same of asking a rogue to shoot someone because not once did my father ask for the Gods to go around the scenes and shoot someone for my father's benefit. Why in the fuck would he care if someone from another city died or not? Especially when he had no interaction of that person? Passive-Aggressive attacks are still attacks but AGAIN, when did my father attack someone?

Demonstrate, hi.

So you're ask me, if it was appropriate for him to ask about Kattan (and/or) his hand in general, by name? Yes, I find that alright to ask in DL Avenue, and I think that makes me far from naive. You know me and my bloodline. I might be a lot of things, but I'm not an idiot.

If I may also poke in another point. Did you see any facial expressions or the tone of MikeHunt's voice? Did you witness these things yourself or someone else? Because last time I checked, he was far too busy and had better things to do than 'push' for the death of someone he didn't even know. I'm sorry he wasn't one of the cool kids who had to put all the shit behind questions and sentences like "Lol, or :)". I didn't know he had to put a smiley so you knew that he wasn't being assertive on the matter.

I think if he wanted to 'press' the matter, he would have said more than he did. Would you not agree?

Fact is, MikeHunt sought out ZERO effort to see the death of that lad. You know this, I know this.

You just didn't like MikeHunt and you all were trying to find any little reason since you took a liking to the kin of the Godmother of Bella Vista that showed up at your front door giving you every pity story in the world to feel bad that she was killed. I would just respect you guys more if you actually had the balls to say you wanted the city, so you took it.

What we seen here today is that you can't ask questions, especially in public of DL to any person or God alike. Last time I checked when you 'pushed' on a matter you did more that say just two complete sentences. Might want to change your wording there.

But, I congrat you on now expanding your range of own Godfathers in PH as you seen fit. It's a fair move of power and nice little luxury I'd like to have in my back pocket as well as expanding your power from 2 districts to a brand new city.

Well played.

I don't even like MikeHunt but to come out here and say that PH was killed because MikeHunt asked a simple question? You killed PH because you wanted to expand. You killed him because you wanted to prove that you weren't just another Chicago expansion.

Reading MikeHunt's question I know anybody who reads it can clearly tell he did not push for the death of Kattan's RH. Not to mention Kattan was scripting, and I heard he was online like 20 hours a day and still you guys gave him Auth without ever wondering how it is possible for a man to play 20 hours a day. In my honest opinion if MikeHunt and the city he was apart of in PH died for him asking a simple question, then why are you guys not dead for authing a CL who was scripting as that is a lot worse than asking a simple question.

I understand that people are annoyed with the deaths of their fathers and mothers, but this decision was not taken lightly. If you can, look at it as if the shoe was on the other foot. You feel threatened, you think someone is going to take you out, what do you do? Sit there and wait for it? No, you act just like we did.

The call didn't come from a nobody, it wasn't some new guy. It was a past Crew Leader and a current RHM, someone who easily had to power to convince the rest of the city if they wanted to.

BrickTop,

This is the mafia, everybody feels threatened on a daily, you don't build your city, your gun, your BG count to look pretty, you build it to defend your city when the time actually calls for it. This was not one of those times.

The rogue comparison is a hypothetical equivalent, the point being you tried to use words to put an innocent man in a grave.

"Why in the fuck would he care if someone from another city died or not?"

Then why did he even ask? He shouldn't have cared but he asked so clearly he did, we can argue over to what extent, but you can't possibly sit here and pretend he had 0 interest in the matter. Quite frankly I don't care if you pretend it was an innocent intentioned question, the possible outcomes from you asking it were nothing happens or someone else gets killed. I quite frankly think it's obvious why the question was asked but even if you believe it had good intentions you still recklessly risked the life of another mafioso and that in and of itself is a justified reason to attack.

Demonstrate turns to Mako,

First things first, I was introduced to the bloodline of Bianca for the first time last night, so clearly that had nothing to do with this. Second, you ask for facial expressions and vocal tones to try to twist my words, but there was a clear undertone in the written words, and yes undertones exist in a world of writing. Things can be asked with ulterior motives.

And finally let me address the idea we needed to expand. Are you fucking serious? You're basically insinuating that two of the smallest districts woke up one day and said, "Screw it we need to expand today because we're not already stretched thin enough being so small as is."

Convince the rest of the city to do what? To act on your false assumptions that my father wanted someone dead? 

MikeHunt asked a question. So please tell me again how MikeHunt was threatening your city's way of life? 

BrickTop, no one cares what shit spews from you mouth to lighten the light of the power move. I just want confirmation. Is the following the 'call' you are talking about that happened in the coffeeshops? It's a simple yes or no question. Let me show the logs again for all you window lickers out there.

MikeHunt: Why did the RHM of Kattan die as well?
MikeHunt: I thought that was the thing?
Magneto: He didn't?
MikeHunt: didn't*
MikeHunt: my bad.
IzzyCreamcheese: the CL is accountable for the rhm
IzzyCreamcheese: the rhm isnt accountable for the cl
Roberto_Carlos_: Silly Mike.
Sanction: Oh wait
Sanction: So which one was scripting?
FCUK: He was scripting?

Now the answer is simple, BrickTop. Yes or no. Is the above the 'call' that annoyed you so badly?

Let's repeat this process one last time. Yes or no.

Oh... And you were worried PH was going to move on you? PH never even knew you existed or gave two fucks about who you were, nor did they care. Today, this war, is the first time PH had even taken notice to you at all or shown any signs of your existence.

Unfortunately i have not come to these streets to cause an argument or a debate, however it always turns this way after such wars. I came here to give my reasoning's to why this happened, of course your not going to like it, your not supposed to enjoy listening to why a city got killed.

As for the point of " Did you see any facial expressions or the tone of MikeHunt's voice? " No, nobody did, so each person may take it differently, saying such things in an openly public coffee shop should be thought about carefully, whereas your best friend may take you one way, a Crew Leader from another City may take it another way.

James, I am not going to debate abut Kattan, that I could do for hours in private, but that is not what this is for, this is to inform everyone of what went on.

And finally let me address the idea we needed to expand. Are you fucking serious? You're basically insinuating that two of the smallest districts woke up one day and said, "Screw it we need to expand today because we're not already stretched thin enough being so small as is."

Having 4 Godfathers instead of 2 is a nice touch, no? It's a nice boost to defense, more room and HQ's to put guns in, and extra umph in your gun isn't something worth fighting for?

It would be to me....

Unfortunately i have not come to these streets to cause an argument or a debate, however it always turns this way after such wars. I came here to give my reasoning's to why this happened, of course your not going to like it, your not supposed to enjoy listening to why a city got killed.

So, you refuse to say yes or no?? No clarity at all to whether THAT was the convo that pissed you off enough to take over a city?

All I want to know Bricktop is now let me explain something real quick, I have been in this 6 month reign type thing building and having a lot of time to play the game but I have never been able to play 20 hours a day like I heard he did.

All I want to know from you about Kattan is did you really feel that 20 hours a day was not a bit odd?

 Did you witness these things yourself or someone else? Because last time I checked, he was far too busy and had better things to do than 'push' for the death of someone he didn't even know.

Sure he had time, he just turned in his Crew Leader responsibility to free up time. Regardless of how it was said, in DL avenue there leaves plenty of room for how one may take something. Your right someone has no idea of facial expression or body language. Did you see his face and body language or know his intentions? Right you take his word for it. Fact is, it's how they viewed it and that's why they acted in the manner in which they did. Their choice with an end result not pleasing to the fallen.

Oh... And you were worried PH was going to move on you? PH never even knew you existed or gave two fucks about who you were, nor did they care.

Leadership at it's finest. The same leadership who stated they couldn't trust Bianca or make it work to unite Philadelphia. Wonder why? You told your own story there, you didn't give "two fucks" about anyone but yourselves and thought you were god's gift to the Mafia world. 

I couldn't give a fuck about my mother dying. What upsets me is this bullshit being blown so out of proportion it's pathetic. If this is all it takes to "scare" you, then this world, this way of life is not for you. Take your blankies and your pacifiers and go home.

One of the reasons for your beloved leader's take down of own city was because apparently an auth of Bianca's didn't share a shot report. Talk about being scared and offended. Also because Bianca wasn't greeting them with a smile everyday and making them toast. "Distancing" herself from them causing paranoia.  

Having 4 Godfathers instead of 2 is a nice touch, no? It's a nice boost to defense, more room and HQ's to put guns in, and extra umph in your gun isn't something worth fighting for?

It would be to me....

And it was. Your father's have all shown that as of late. 

My point is this, everything you all are complaining about, everything you all are stating is a contradiction. Much like your statements in response to your own previous actions, move on. For hours after the war today all we heard was, "OMFG where is the reason thread!" Example: 

Cool war speech bro.

 Now that there is one it's not good enough for you. Yet everyone was suppose to buy your excuses for your actions no? Fair enough. 

Convince the rest of the city to do what? To act on your false assumptions that my father wanted someone dead? 

MikeHunt asked a question. So please tell me again how MikeHunt was threatening your city's way of life? 

Please tell us how your own city was a threat to your own life. Your right it wasn't. Purely a power move. If that is how you want to take this war then do just that. Regardless it's done and over.

It has been said enough times to beat a thousand dead horses with, "it's the mafia." 

Sit back, relax, have a beer or just smoke a joint. If never of those do the trick, then read a novel, but this is getting no where much like it never has in past wars.
