Nah, she really isn't. 

Choke you really don't have room to talk. You yourself is an associate. So good job pointing out the obvious 

First off you yourself are an associate, secondly what she's saying is that where does an associate who has nothing to do with NY get off trying to tell her how to talk to her boss it's not just about rank.

The associate thing really does have nothing to do with it. It's more the fact that someone from another city is trying to enforce their thinking on us. The fact they are an associate just makes it worse.

James, your opinion really doesn't mean shit, keep it in your own city.

Also, before some moron comes out with it, yes, I'm an associate, congratulations on your impressive observational skills.

Mercury hears a bunch of bickering and decides to throw her own two cents in.

How DanTheMan (or any other leader for that matter) handles his crew be them associates or made into the family is his business. Frankly, I applaud the free speech. My ancestors were given the freedom to speak her mind here and was backed by her CL (GRHS). She found it refreshing to have a leader who let her speak her mind.

Mercury gets the hell out of here.

Know whats awesome, I'm from New York too!

If you mean district by all means say so, but as Choke has so eloquently shown us, we can say anything now!

No Mr. Beek, Choke has just remindedd us that no one can silence a true spirited vioce. Choke has showed us that in this thing of ours, we must not hold our tongue even to our leaders. She believes in what she's sayig, not saying nonsense or making idle pot shots at people. She saying what she believes and I respect that, and so should you.

Prescott had been bored all day, he he had street fun and hotel entertainments on his fingertips. Hearing some commotion up ahead, he figured a bit of street fun would amuse him for today. Wasted days always have consequences, a wise man once said to him. It seemed to be more of a celebration rather than a debate to him.

"All hail Choke aye?" He smirks then clears his throat.

"Personally, I believe there's a thin line between your own beliefs and loyalty in some aspect. If you are to preach what you believe is right, so be it. Not everyone agree with one another, surely we've all know this?"

Flash Fire clears his throat after listening to a rather heated debate regarding the death of his father and decides to speak up.

"It is not my intention to bitch and moan about my fathers death but simply put a few things straight.

Firstly I think the fact this speech didn't come from the godfather responsible is a bit of a joke, it's not as if it was a long drawn out war and it has been admitted already this had prior planning from when Detroit was laid to waste yet Ragnar disgraced the rank of Godfather? Speaking of which, the reason Ragnar did not recruit and fill a headquarters like the majority is because he had no one bar his right hand ready for auth and didn't have a replacement for him. It was also Ragnar's intent to have two independent crew leaders run their own families under him without any interference which proved to be working successfully until his demise. The fact he borrowed members to take the rank of Godfather wasn't just his idea but that of his former Godfather Deadly Spike S and it was requested to be only people that wanted to help out to give this thing of ours another Godfather some of whom even expressed a desire to stay with Ragnar but he denied these requests out of respect for his fellow leaders.

Now as for his cutting ties with those from Chicago and Detroit after the death of Deadly Spike S, this was covered by Ragnar in the streets when Spike S addressed why Vicious Spike choose to protect Solastalgia.

You ask why he joined in the attack on Solastalgia, Cantona & Ares? I would have thought that was obvious, it was for the same reasons as Toy Armadillo did, he came from the suburbs under Jake Luciano as did they. You say he was a "gun for higher" but can you name one time he shot anyone for any kind of payment? did he ever shoot anyone with a price on their head just for the money? the answer is no.

You also say he had no responsibilities, he felt responsible for the whole of Philly and it was his duty to rebuild it to past glories and would not of risked the city against the overwhelming numbers of New York."

Blublank1 has been listening, and heard both sides of the story. He steps forward to make his peace known.

I must say, I hate to see another Godfather fall. It seems that we never have enough around here as no one tends to live long enough to become one. That said, if my cities leaders have decided that this action needed to happen, I won't be one to question their judgement. 

He steps back into the spot where he was standing. He didn't have much to say, but still felt it needed to be said.

I agree with the son of Ragnar, this seemed not needed and not even unhelpful to this thing of hours........And hypocritical and uninformed as well......
