Well the time has come where an inactive Godfather has kept his reigns.  Despite not even being present for the war, he somehow survived.  Well, he appeared at the onset of the war, missed a shot on Ziva then came back every 4 hours to sort a pro shot.     
Let’s talk about Jake and his dysfunctional suburbs a bit more, shall we?

Maple: 
Congrats on getting out of that death trap we call the Suburbs.  Kudos for you, you are more than capable of running your own district, and are much better off without the IA “Godfather”.  

Billy: 
Congrats on your recent auth.  I love how “Godfather” JakeLuciano came to the streets and announced your auth, oh wait, did he?  No that’s right, he did comment in your auth speech.  I believe he spoke a total of 2 sentences worth of congratulatory rhetoric.  Man he must be so proud!!!!  He probably put a great deal of thought into this auth!

Legendary:
I’ve already sort of hit on this in another speech, but I will continue here.  Where do I really start.  You were given auth, likely the 10th choice or so for auth.  Your authing had nothing to do with your ability, but more so because you were the lover of Roquelaure.   I believe the way you’re running your family now really attests to this.  Was it you that shot that right hand man on the safelist?  Whatever came of that does anyone know!? 
 

Speaking of Roquelaure . . . oh and her next of kin draven!  You know the one with an unwarranted ego.  The self-proclaimed district Hit Squad Leader extraordinaire!  Can you tell me exactly what you have accomplished exactly?  I find it a mystery how someone could be so arrogant, or could it be ignorance.  There's a fine line to be walked there.  Anyhow, my favorite is when there was mass mails about how SHE was the DISTRICT HSL and it was her job this and her job that.  Was that a reminder that she was in charge, due to her own insecurity?  Yes draven, everyone knew you were much less capable than many of the other people in the district.  You need not remind them of this with shitty mass mails.  Now, drum roll, please.

JakeLuciano:
Heh heh, this clown, right? The first IA Godfather in the history of the mafia.  I’ve already hit on this a bit in another speech so I won’t repeat myself too much.  
     Jake, what can I say?  Are you going to remain inactive for the rest of your time here?  Are the people in your district supposed to run it. What exactly is going on, is it more important for you to hold on to the title of “Godfather” than it is to have a district that is actually being led?  
     Are you honestly too selfish to let go of the title?  Holding on to it like a parasite that clutches for dear life to a self-sufficient host.  The selfishness of course coming at the expense of your district.  
     What a sad…sad… state that the suburbs is in.  A godfather that cannot say goodbye, and two inept crewleaders!  For those people calling the suburbs home I truly do feel sorry for you.  

You know . . . when a Godfather cannot even keep someone the likes of draven as LH, something is seriously wrong.  

::Walks away with AC/DC's Hells Bells Playing::

Vindicator swoops onto a nearby street where the Chicago Suburbs Farmers Market is meeting. The leader of Alpha Flight quickly puts together a stall towards the edge of the market from which to vend his wares.

Jelly, Lime Jelly, get your Lime Jelly here! Fresh imported limes from the Florida keys, jellied and bottled in Ontario's farmland and shipped direct to the market in Chicago! Who wants Lime Jelly?

A crowd quickly assembles to sample the deliciously sweet-but-tart green jelly.

This would be so much more interesting if you were singing a song about it.

You're a butthurt idiot shut up and do something about otherwise quit your bitching. You get to speak of the state of anything? Is that a joke? 

JakeLuciano:
Heh heh, this clown, right? The first IA Godfather in the history of the mafia.  I’ve already hit on this a bit in another speech so I won’t repeat myself too much.

It's pretty ironic. After the infamous May war, Jake was one of the most active men around in this world of ours. Without Jake right now, the world wouldn't be the same I reckon.

And first IA godfather in the history of the mafia? You're new I'm assuming. If you're interested in a lesson young man, I'd be happy to teach you a thing or two about the history of our world.

If JakeLuciano is so inactive, why the hell are you so butthurt about him? If he hasn't been active, what has he done to you? He's not been around much but there are other things to worry about in this thing of ours.

Not everyone spends all there time stealing purses from old women and attempting to break people out of jail. Some people need to sleep for longer then others for OOC reasons.

You're a butthurt idiot shut up and do something about otherwise quit your bitching. You get to speak of the state of anything? Is that a joke? 

I honestly don't believe that is a fair play there my emotional Gambit. Your bloodline has come out to the streets multiple times in butt hurt fashion in turn making this rather hypocritical. Nothing wrong with someone stating how they feel bud. 

JakeLuciano:
Heh heh, this clown, right? The first IA Godfather in the history of the mafia.  I’ve already hit on this a bit in another speech so I won’t repeat myself too much.

As far as Jake is concerned. I don't think it's anyone's job to call out a Godfathers activity. I can name handfuls of Godfater's that have taken their share time of relaxation. They have put in the work, therefore they deserve it. Their duty is to monitor the way things are going, nothing can be done without their say so. Whether or not you see it, I promise you it's happening. So basically this attack on the man has no substance to it what so ever. Maybe one day when you or if you achieve said responsibility you'd understand. If you have before then you honestly should know better then to come out with a speech such as this. It really has no structure or validity.  

First off I'm not "your anything" and I don't actually care what you think when you say it in such a condescending manner anyway. 

Secondly: really phobia? When have ever I started speeches bitching about dying/laying the blame at others feet not just once but in multiple speeches? 

First off I'm not "your anything" and I don't actually care what you think when you say it in such a condescending manner anyway.

I think you just proved my point. How that was even considered condescending is beyond me.

That statement wasn't made because of the manners in which he had done it, whether it be making his speech or not. Simply stating your bloodline has been known to emotionally disagree with matters much like he is doing as well. Not that it makes the manner in which he is doing so correct as I stated, but basically the same non the less. 

If you want to take it as an attack then by all means do so. However, I must warn you. Getting into a debate with me really won't be worth your time. 

I didn't mean it in a manner of disrespect, just trying to make a point. I haven't seen this man posting many threads, if his bloodline has then sure but it isn't the same man. Therefore the point of asking how many times I have seen you make a speech over and over on the same subject is irrelevant, for this man has not done so. 

@ the elegant Gambit.

     How can I put this in a way that you can understand?  Hmm . . . . I can't.  I can't bring myself to write something so dumbed down that it'd give ME an Aneurysm.  I love how you've been so insulted by Phobia.  Which leads me to ask . . .  Are you insulted by someone who uses intelligence against you?  I imagine that's a resounding yes.

@ Phobia

     We have differing opinions, but I respect that as well as your ability to use the English language properly.  You're one with whom I can reason.    

First of all ,like most threads these days, this is so out of character it hurts.

Let me show you in character how this would have looked...

Well the time has come where an inactive Godfather has kept his reigns.  Despite not even being present for the war, he somehow survived.  Well, he appeared at the onset of the war, missed a shot on Ziva then came back every 4 hours to sort a pro shot.     
Let’s talk about Jake and his dysfunctional suburbs a bit more, shall we?

Since arriving in Philadelpha I can't believe I haven't seen that big bad mafia boss Jake Luciano from the suburbs way over in Chicago. I can't believe he hasn't came to visit me recently. I mean my new coffee shop is sooo good and sells the best bagels man has ever known. I hear he tried to shoot that other "Made Guy" Ziva but she got away. He even had some of his own guys shooting at him every four hours, isn't that weird? I like talking about Jake and his city, while I live it out in Philadelphia. I should send him a postcard. Yes I think I will...

Maple: 
Congrats on getting out of that death trap we call the Suburbs.  Kudos for you, you are more than capable of running your own district, and are much better off without the IA “Godfather”.  

Maple, one of Jake's closest advisors moved out of the suburbs to take care of business elsewhere, great job maple. I can't believe I still haven't seen Jake Luciano, hasn't he got my postcards? I'll have to send more... I should send him another postcard. Yes I think I will...

Billy: 
Congrats on your recent auth.  I love how “Godfather” JakeLuciano came to the streets and announced your auth, oh wait, did he?  No that’s right, he did comment in your auth speech.  I believe he spoke a total of 2 sentences worth of congratulatory rhetoric.  Man he must be so proud!!!!  He probably put a great deal of thought into this auth!

Godfather Jake Luciano was standing beside Billy today when he told everyone about how he is going to start taking care of business elsewhere, he didn't say much, he definitely didn't mention my postcards. Maybe I should send him another one. Yes I think I will...

Legendary:
I’ve already sort of hit on this in another speech, but I will continue here.  Where do I really start.  You were given auth, likely the 10th choice or so for auth.  Your authing had nothing to do with your ability, but more so because you were the lover of Roquelaure.   I believe the way you’re running your family now really attests to this.  Was it you that shot that right hand man on the safelist?  Whatever came of that does anyone know!? 
 

Legendary was in love with the late Roquelaure and he shot someone. OMG... I'm sending Jake another postcard. Yes I think I will...

JakeLuciano:

     Jake, what can I say?  Are you going to remain inactive for the rest of your time here?  Are the people in your district supposed to run it. What exactly is going on, is it more important for you to hold on to the title of “Godfather” than it is to have a district that is actually being led?

I really can't believe that a Godfather from another city will not talk to me, I never see him around. Why wouldn't he speak to me? No more postcards. Oh well... Maybe one more...

Moral of the story in OOC

How are you to know what is active and inactive. That is a game term not a roleplayed term. The streets are for roleplay and a Godfather of a city even a district very far away from where you live is not going to pay attention to your petty squabble with something that happend to your father. When people want to discuss things like this is should be taken to OOC, thats between you as people not between you as characters.

This is completely pointless anyway, why does it matter how much one person spends his time online? If a don in someones crew only logs in for a couple of days each week why don't you bitch about him too? I mean it's a team effort it isn't put on one persons shoulders.

This is a game. Lets start playing it like it's a game and not like tards who don't know how to play the actual game properly. I have the shittest name in the world but I'll still attempt to roleplay when I'm on the streets. I'm not totally blamess for posting a little OOC in my replies but it's hard to run away from it when everyone else does it.

Taps his foot to a little Bing Crosby - Brother Can You Spare a Dime 

I love how you've been so insulted by Phobia.

I have done no such thing. Gambit is actually rather intelligent which is mostly why I'm so frustrated with the fact that he can't understand what I'm trying to get across. 

This is not meant to attack him but to teach and point out ways in which he could have done it differently. Although it seems to have not worked, insulting is the last thing I was intending to get across.  

Jan 31, 02:17:30 You WACKED! Mr_Deschain 

Ooops 

Bravo, Jake, bravo.

Oh Jakie boy, do you feel better now?  Instead of taking actions to fix your family, you shoot someone calling you out.  Although, what I think is more surprising is that you actually became active.  Also, the tact with your post.  "Ooops"  Clever, very clever.  I bet the only reason you didn't shoot Mr_Deschain any sooner was because you were thinking of something oh so witty to openly share.

(OOC: The last thing you need is that -1 to your shot record, you could have really used that . . . considering you couldn't shoot Ziva.)

Short shorts are where it's at. Nothing like getting some sun on the upper thigh region. Just the other day at the city pool where all the cool people hang out I sported my short shorts. 

It beat the hell out of playing fat guy in a little coat. My shorts are still intact. 

The shooting of anyone who is wearing either of the -1 or 4h tag is strictly prohibited.
