Chicago - Long Overdue? Started by: Numbers4Glory on Mar 25, '14 19:26

Sadly my bloodline is retiring. 

However, I heard some thing about this post that really make me sick after being born. 

OK use my father as an example all you want. But I promise you 75% of this community agree's with me. 

My father approached defy about the issue within his paper. Funny thing is? Defy did his normal, "I would do anything for you bro I know you weren't attacking me. I drop hallucinogens on a daily basis so I really don't know what's going on here bro,' sort of response. He even let my father kill a member, and then Numbers came at him strong at first later apologizing for how he handled it. Surely it was a game of his. 

Now, the sad thing. This community is suffering. The fact that the garbage presence of "gangsta rap" is even acknowledged is a fucking disgrace. My father had respect for the majority of NY, with the exception of a few, and yes Defy you were not on that list. You may be a good mafioso, but your a piss poor leader. There is a reason why your an omen. Glance in the mirror. You have had my bloodline as a Hand before and by their journals they made it apparent that your only concern is friendships rather then your Families. 

Now the only reason my father didn't push the issue the night N4G flew in to kill bugs, is really because I had faith in the others in NY outside of Staten Island. DanTheMan and Amestyst, or however you say it, especially. The fact you two even bought in too the bullshit that a once bloodline that was prevented from joining the world for cruelty is beyond me. Now, I told Numbers myself that I disagreed with his bloodline being banished because at one point I had. After recieving the "real reason" behind it, I must say falling into his "I r spechul" bullshit was a mistake. You Sir are a disgrace for not opening your eyes and seeing the destruction. I took your bloodline being ancient into accountability and that was a huge mistake. 

My father expected you would disallow such actions from even taken place in the streets. So did Maple, who stated Numbers is a better man then that. You proved us wrong. Your no longer ancient blood in this bloodlines eyes, your just a newbie who has a bit of power. Not being taught respect of what my father and friends as a whole were trying to build on. 

The Morty and Lush bloodlines disappointed me the most actually, I know Numbers had it in him but was hoping he wouldn't act on his stupidity, but took Morty and Lush's bloodline as one of integrity and morals. 

Face the facts the real reason you did what you did, was because Jake no longer existed. Plain and simple. 

I have so much more to say but my mouth is getting tired. I will say this as well, Primus you were the biggest disappointment of all. Even from Jakes lineage you knew this was coming and stood by to watch while people who you built prosperity from stood by and died. And why? Because you felt that you attempting to hide a Witness Statement, in which Scumbag told you was wrong. So you felt betrayed from Chicago since they had some kind of respect, that you turned and went to Detroit to avoid confrontation. You want to call Chicago poor leadership, how about you tell New York that they should know about you wanting to cover that shot up so you didnt have to pay the dues. You backed stab those you built with and your family should be aware of it. Then again though it's fitting, you joined Billy who a day prior to the take down was explaining why the community hated him. Hmmm, maybe this is why?

One final note, My grandfather WiggleButt Sr. was bashed for joining Panda in a non-winnable war. Well you know what? Panda was the reason he was around for as along as he was, at least my Grandpaps showed loyalty and stuck with it. The fact that he got so much blow back and the outcome that was held the other day, should show this world has lost it's touch. Therefore my lineage will have no part of it, for all I know, Numbers and Defy should have remained removed, their blood is a virus while starting off as the common cold which they have shown to be, to shape into the black plague.

This world no longer will be graced with my presence, I'm sure it's music to some of your ears, but others I apologize but until values are fixed I will have no part.

I was speaking in general princess. As I said GIRLS and not BLACKWIDOW. Also. I'm glad you didn't comment on the initial reason you came to the streets. 

First of all, using BlackWidow's real life name is putting a personal touch on your statement, bringing real life into the game, which is in my opinion, a big no no. Pretty much everyone can agree with me on that.

 

Max: [Valerie] <@Eris> im scared if i pass out in this push up bra, i might suffocate and die

(Eris is PRincess who is using BlackWidow's IRC name and then told us all it's also her real name)

We can (more get away with than allowed) use people's irc names on the streets. Whoever your EVERYONE are - well, you might want to ask them if they are just agreeing with you because you are a girl not because you are right.

This was not a war anyways,This was a massacre... Your wars are nothing but sneak attacks on those who have no idea its coming

 


First I'm curious, honestly, if there has ever been a war in this game that functioned more in the duel type fashion that seems to be requested here. Where both sides not only knew it was coming, but when it was coming. I am interested in stories of these events if they have occured. 


 

I suspect however that the thing that really brings the word massacre up here is not that NY attacked without CH knowing about it, as that's how these things have happened the entire time my line has been around so, like it or not,  we're all accustomed to it, but rather because of the impact doing so had.

 

The thing is that NY is big. Very, VERY big. For quite some time now the statistics from the gods have shown that  NY membership has never dipped below 40% of the mafioso population and at times soared above that. I heard it went over 60% at one point but I didn't check myself at that time so I won't claim that as definite fact. In addition to being large a good portion of the older mafioso (and their correspondingly older guns) reside in NY.    ((OOC: If anyone here happens to have a screenshot from before this war and has colored contacts that they'd like to share it'd be highly illustrative.)) On top of this imbalance CH had lost 5 crewleaders in the last few weeks. Even if CH had attacked NY instead of vice versa, while NY certainly could have been hurt, it would still mostly look like a massacre. This is not meant to be offensive, it's just realistic. While I personally would have very much liked to see CH flourish and become real competition, without even exploring the membership and just looking at the structure you'd find NY has at least 27 members who are IWP, The number of CH Made Man+ in the obits isn't even double that number. 

 

Let's be fair this is yet another power play by New York to mask over their own internal issues and appease the hitters. It was only a matter of time from when jake retired that NY was going to attack. The final countdown began the moment they dragged Starscream out of Chicago and plonked him in Detroit.

Starscream doesn't really seem dragged. Given his recent speech if he was forcibly transplanted I fear he may have some developed a fairly substantial case of Stockholm syndrome.

Hitters are always going to want to hit. It is necessary to have different factions because no matter how many residents of Delaware City are coerced forward through favor bought from the gods, hitters are going to become bored and impatient if that is all they're hitting. This makes the point you made about districts especially apt. But I'd like to address that elsewhere.

I do agree that the event seemed to be coming, and that Starscream no longer being in the city would up the likelihood.

I mean, lets face it, Chicago has came a long way from what their original goal was. With Prat in charge of Chicago, around a year ago, he had that city unified to the key. The day that Prat died, that dream died with him and his city. It wasn't long there after when we saw a new era with Odin. I have nothing but respect for Odin and his bloodline, but his reign ended in a what tore half of Chicago apart. Because an Ally of a district and Detroit with an ally hand in a few districts of Chicago fired upon Philly, who was an ally to part of Chicago as well. Lead to an inner city war, and the end of Chicago's unity to say.

Then, we had the period of Czylharz. Which, in turn ended, because they fired upon each other, pissing each other off, instead of holding a tight bond together. The primary goal of Chicago has been gone for a long time. Anyone who says differently... well, we just won't agree. It's been on a downward slope since that time frame.

What I see are a bunch of people upset that New York is stronger than that...

As for reasons for the war... Nothing said will please everyone. At least they are legit reasons, whether you like to hear them or not. We felt like boundaries of ours kept being pushed and tip toed on... So we ended that bullshit. If Chicago was having their problems, so be it. It's when you let that bleed on our turf is when we took action against it. Hate or love us for our morals, we stuck by them, and lived up to our word of caution.

Chicago was our ally? Nah. Last time I checked NY was our ally, like it has always been with us. Where other GF's have retired, and eventually found their own way to destruction, we stand strong behind the retirement of Lord Toaly. We don't have to be like the other cities. We decided to do this how WE wanted to, and NO ONE can change that.

We are a family. We are a city. We are what you don't want us to be.

Deal with it.

WhereWasI sighs, starts pushing morons calling others butt hurt and other morons crying over spilled milk out of his way and approaches DanTheMansLintRoller.

What you're doing is well beyond the points of insult and approaching harassment. You died, it happens, get over it. Calling a woman a whore will do nothing for you in the long run, except maybe cause a few people to be permanently disgusted by you. I know the woman much better than any of the rest of you mongs, hell sometimes better than she does, and she's not a whore. All you're doing with these comments is attempting to justify harassment to build your own ego through bullying another and you picked this one because she's easily get upset and bullied despite the fact she regularly chooses to surround herself with that type of friend. Just because she sets herself up for these types of comments by surrounding herself with those who would make them doesn't excuse the type of scum you'd have to be to actually make these types of comments, truly and utterly disgusting to pick on someone without anywhere near enough spine to stick up for themselves... so I guess I'll just have to step in since she still doesn't get what I've been telling her. Hope that's not too much for you to handle.

Epsilon, you're an asshat and one of these days she'll see why people like yourself try to hang around women like her. I don't even need to get to know you to know all to well to know why you pick to surround yourself with the likes of her while acting the way you do. You're a joke of a person and these insults are a message for someone else but I'm leaving for a bit so why not give you a chance to prove me right by goading your pride and then tell you I'm goading your pride so you can show just how incompetent you really are? You'll be my perfect teaching example.

Finally, excessive use of comments like "If you wanna win, don't lose", "Deal with it" and "butt hurt" are clear signs of your stereotypical 1980's movie douchebag or some pathetic child winning at something for the first time. If you think this applies to you, please stop fitting the stereotype and use such comments in moderation as a city or as individuals, you're supposed to be adults... not overly horny pubescent teenage dirt bags. Grow up. The ones most likely to tell another to grow up and move on are usually the same ones crying in other take down threads, minus zombie puppet Gazman who is, in my opinion, the greatest street speaker this world has ever known.

I see nothing but scum for abusing the trust of a friend for your own selfish intents. Though that's not the base of my read, so shoe Anna. I have a point to make.

Lulu shut your mouth. WhereAmI is always right!

I am usually right, and that includes the parts about you. Anna is trying to avoid a confrontation I wish to see, nice intent, but not something I desire so I'm impolitely asking her to stop. You need to go sit down and look back at all of the things you've said and think about what possible benefits you could get from them. Nothing. The answer is nothing because there's no way a single thought you've uttered could possibly be found as beneficial for any cause.

I meant Captious in those comments... (See it happens I can be wrong) my apologies I've just become accustomed to Anna being the one to lead in with the hugs. Sorry, Captious I knew that but I'm a bit distracted by other worldly matters.

While I find your dismissal via imperative to become footwear amusing, I am neither my wife, nor unaware of your primary objective. However some stories are a bit larger than they seem, and I'd hope one who can see that in some cases would allow that the same can be true in others. Lintroller: I suppose it doesn't matter if WWI is right, as I'm a girl, and as such so apparently people will agree with me without me being to be right. All I have to do is appeal to consensus reality.

Primus you were the biggest disappointment of all. Even from Jakes lineage you knew this was coming and stood by to watch while people who you built prosperity from stood by and died. And why?
Because you felt that you attempting to hide a Witness Statement, in which Scumbag told you was wrong.

The disappointment was in me not listening to Godfather Jake's last piece of advice to me when he warned me about some of the CL's within the city of Chicago that needed to go.

Regarding my disagreement with Scumbag; it was never about hiding a Witness Statement. It was about chain of command.
It was about the fact that he went behind my back, not letting me know that he had a WS of belonging to a frmr member of mine, not allowing the responsible CL to approach the victim's family to settle it.

Or would you disagree with this and regard this as nonsense and just formality that can be ignored when sees fit?

Yes I left Chicago, the city that within hours after Jake's retirement was filled with whispers about some of it's CL's plotting to kill me due to their disliking of me having been given a district.
And yes I did leave Chicago exactly because I wanted to avoid  confrontation and save Chicago, or I could have stayed and destroyed Chicago, leaving only Maple in charge of a ghost town.

Considering to understand my primary objective you would need access to a mail I sent to someone... I doubt that more than one of any of you will ever know, lol. Doesn't matter I got my answer without using the streets and now I only have one last thing to clear up before I can leave again. Though, should he decide to comment I've time to waste on one last back and forth with another person clueless to my intentions... they're very entertaining. I'm also at work and using an auto-fill feature so my apologies for any grammar mess ups but I don't care to grammar/spell check or even keep it in character seeing as the majority fail to.

My father was one of those that was killed in Chicago...and while it saddens me to see that city flattened to the ground it saddens me more to see people throwing insults at each other. All of us have lost a loved one in this line of work. We all know the risks when we joined the crime world. While I understand the pain of losing a relative...I hope that this ends now and let the rebuilding of Chicago begin. Now amount of mud throwing and insults will bring those who have died back. My father died proudly for Chicago...although he was killed while he was sleeping. And I will honor those who have died by acting like a man and accept what has happened as it is.

 

Rest well to those who have fallen.

There has been so much nonsense brought up here; it is truly challenging to even have an idea where to start.


The most important thing people are forgetting to recognise is that when people are put in a situation where they have lost their fathers; all the care about is trying to make you miserable going forward. Their fathers lay dead and the only recourse available to them is to assault and harass people with baseless personal attacks and hide behind their thug status.

 

I have no interest in bringing any one down. But I will say this. The reason New York is where we are today is because we trust each other; and we have fun together. Perhaps you don’t like our word usage. Shame. It works for us and that’s all that matters, you had your own strategies for bonding and uniting your city. Which would you say has been more effective?

 

We are the self proclaimed leaders of the “trolling legacy”. We like to joke around and have fun. DanTheMan has a water gun and misses every shot, JohnnyNoName(GOAT) is a rogue and shoots everyone, Cantillon is the truck who runs people over, Goku is our other Tier 1 CL Proer, Lulu dies every time there is a strong breeze. We have fun with each other; we troll the shit out of one another but, we respect and trust each other. You might not care for our vernacular, our internal jokerino’s or our personalities; but that doesn’t matter does it? Our only loyalty is to each other.

 

Wiggle. Insulting DanTheMan and Amethyst? Really? If there are two nicer and more genuine people on here I’ve not met them. You say you got involved in the JackRyan war because of loyalty and you say you’ve lost respect for two amazing people for doing the same thing? You also speak about how standards are dropping around here and then come out and try and badmouth StarScream for old incidents? You died so you need to try and pull everyone down with you with half-truths.

 

I’ve been in this position before, where as a vocal leader in a dominant dynasty you receive abuse. It really doesn’t phase me. You can think what you want to think about me, say what you want to say. I don’t care. I am very comfortable with who I am and my relationships with people to know where I stand. The only time I get involved is where you attack my family and friends. Not because they lack the ability to defend themselves, but because when people try and get a reaction out of me and can’t they go after people close to me. Sad much?

 

Everyone is going to have their own circle of friends on here, people they value and trust. Often these circles clash with one another; where a friend of your circle may be someone you can’t stand. That is the nature of our world that rivalries are formed and the thing that keeps up returning to this life of crime. When did that need to escalate to personal attacks? When was wanting to win not enough? You just continue to justify our choices for us. Not that I ever needed any justification in that regard. I hold no ill will toward Maple or Chicago. I just think it’s appalling how some of you are behaving.

 

As for my miracle death and banishment. The truth of it is; you don’t know shit. There are two people on earth who know the full story behind my banishment. Everyone else knows enough to understand the situation but will never have the full picture. It has nothing to do with you. It’s not something I was proud of in any way and the people that actually matter in the situation know my feelings and regrets regarding it. If that’s not enough for you… shame?

 

We are, and have for quite some time been in a position where it wasn’t going to be a war. The “massacre” was always the only way it would go if we attacked first, simply because our structures and procedures attracted, and continue to attract talent. We also have run things in a way where we haven’t needed to kill off half our own auths. Chicago was around because of relationships and friendships many of us were close with NealCaffrey and many of us were close with Maple. Those two peoples relationships very much unified New York’s position on Chicago as one of “friend”. This idea that opposing powerhouses (I use that word loosely when referencing the Chicago that was killed) can be allies; is laughable. You start removing the pieces that hold your city together and it’s always going to be a problem.

 

With regards to Defy; there are fewer crew leaders that I have ever met that work harder. We work in a district that runs on little to no taxes and we do very, very well for ourselves. My total donations in my tenure are in the region of a billion dollars. This wasn’t out of fear, or taxation. It’s because we unified people to believe in something. Defy could have filled an HQ of 75 comfortably and his members love and respect him. So the views of a no-mark Thug? Not really relevant I’m afraid.

 

ToyArmadillo brought us all together. He was this father of our city. It was always up to us to continue that legacy. I can comfortably say that the people I’ve worked with here are the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. The single greatest city, ever. That's all that matters.

I'm confident very few people, if anyone at all, actually care what your primary objective is, WhereAmI. Enjoy your trip.

Some women get things handed to them here because some men are pathetically prepared to give it to them. I think that is more a reflection of society in general, rather than something that is exclusive to our thing.

Addressing someone by their coffee shop alias, when they themselves refer to that name on their person, doesn't appear to be too terrible of a crime to me. If you're seeking to embrace that side of yourself, it is a little strange to be offended when someone does what you're asking. If, like some of us, your coffee shop alias has nothing to do with who you are, then yeah, by all means call someone out on linking the two because that is a failing on their behalf and says more about them and their failings than it does you and yours.

noun: déjà vu
1. a feeling of having already experienced the present situation.
 
War. War never changes...
 
Grey stood on the sidelines, listening carefully as parties from both sides spit and slurred at one another, and some took things quite a bit past the normal venting Street babble. He pushed His way through the crowd, then slowly turned in a circle once reaching the middle, taking stock of A/all who had come to add their two cents worth.
 
His eyes were narrowed slightly, His brow furrowed, His tone low, but loud enough to be heard by A/all, without the need to yell.
 
I can't say that I'm surprised by some of the things said here, but I can say I'm a bit sick of it. You might then retort that I don't have to "listen" or comment, but as much as I've tried to keep a non-existent Street presence this time around, it comes to a close now.
 
This is not new, by any stretch of the imagination, and will happen again and again. Literally every big war starts with a "Takedown" first wave, with Hitsquads utilized to great effect to take out the most critical and dangerous targets first. War ensues, and usually goes the same way most times with that one or two Heroic proed stragglers picking off who they can before they die like the rest. Everyone's relatives automatically want to know why, and then the anticipated Street Explanation is released.
 
Does it really matter why? Everyone's still dead. Reasons make people sleep better at night realizing they died for something rather than nothing? Sure. Come out in the Streets, pull up a soap-box, and spew garbage about why, and who, and He said She said, but in the end, the reason is "They could."

Thank you for what I consider a truly great quote Mr Grey, it is close to my heart, but as you likely know not for any reason relating to this thing of ours. As for me and the effect the 'take-down' had on myself, it saddened, annoyed and even angered me at first. My father had only just returned to these shores and lived in the United States for roughly three days before being gunned down. On the day he died he seemed completely normal to me; he was happy and simply went about his day as he always did. I can only assume that he knew nothing of what was going on, and from the way he acted I don't believe he knew what was happening to his family when he was gunned down. I have to admit I felt bitter about that at first, especially when I found out people were calling his death part of a war, surely soldiers at least  know when they are fighting a war I thought. Now my view has changed though and I have realized I was somewhat naive to think of this thing in the same way one would think of a military conflict. I still haven't fully processed everything but I do believe it better that he died the way he did. He at least didn't have to know of or watch his friends die. I personally wasn't so lucky, I have to admit it hurt seeing many people I know he had befriended turn up brutally murdered, but that is my burden, not my fathers and for that I am thankful.

Right... insert name here. The chosen target was the only one still alive that I noticed. I've been informed of a group harassing a person who won't stick up for themselves and decided to come do that for this friend of mine. I have this tendency to butt into fights where one person doesn't stick up for themselves and deal with the consequences later, so far it's worked out awesome for me. Good mental awareness of a situation though, you're an inspiration for people looking to be awesome fellow crew members everywhere. You'd be shocked how well the attack one punk and watch them all drop theory works on people who intentionally target that type of person, but I wouldn't expect you to make an attempt for another human being. For all I know or care the person has been complimenting her tirelessly elsewhere and only added to her problems here very briefly. 

You're the cool kid making societal comments that are blatantly obvious to the rest of the world and getting bothered by nothing wrong at all. I could understand if there was some depth to them... but there isn't. It's a simple issue with a simple explanation. Are you really that surprised some women get things handed to them? I'm sorry... but if the boss you're looking to impress is a huge college hoops fan are you gonna tell me that you wouldn't mention playing college basketball if you did? Shut up you whiny ingrate, if you're struggling with the fact people get things for unfair reasons I hate to tell you, but you're just gonna have to get used to it because life's not fair, little girl, and some of those meanies just might say nasty things too. The only thing you can do in those situations is keep your nose to the grind stone and work through the unjust situations around you.

Finally... You're right, addressing someone by a coffee shop name really isn't that big of a deal, but when private knowledge gets turned public and a troll or an army of trolls is harassing you it's nice to see a familiar face telling just about anybody to fuck off for you. I know because I've been the one getting trolled once and the guy telling people to fuck off more times than I can count. So tell me moron, wanna keep going down this path?

I assume the first part of your nonsense is an explanation of your supposed mysterious objective here, which I'm glad I was correct about (nobody cares), otherwise I've no idea what you're talking about.

All you do is ramble about nothing, most of it irrelevant to what is being said, and support it with little to no factual evidence. Your opinion, from what I've heard of it, is seemingly developed by the mind of an inept attention seeker with serious narcissism issues. I'm bored of it. I'm sure most other people must be as well. Saying something moronic and retreating behind a cry of "well you don't really know what I'm doing so there lol" is akin to erecting a wicker shield to protect you from the falling boulder. You're still going to get crushed, now you just look stupid while you're doing it.

You don't know anything about me or what I would do for anyone. All you know is what your limited intellect assumes about a lot of people which is invariably the wrong thing. If you want to interpret being the laughing stock of the majority of the community as working out awesome for you, that is your delusion. The rest of us see you for what you are, which is not some elaborate wordsmith or savior of the streets as you appear to believe, but rather like a dog with two dicks who just can't help loving himself. 

The point I was making regarding women being handed things is that in most cases it has very little to do with the women themselves and certainly nothing to do with the Mafia. Some men pathetically give away anything to make a woman happy, especially if she is prepared to say nice things to him in the process. I'm not getting bothered by that in any way, it is the nature of men and women, as I pointed out. I think it is pathetic some guys act like that and not something I would do, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. 

How can I be a "whiny ingrate" when I'm neither whining nor ungrateful? What is it I'm meant to be grateful for that I'm not, in your opinion? Why am I struggling with the very fact I pointed out? Evidently, to a reasonable mind anyway, I am well aware and comfortable with the situation as I raised and addressed it. If you're going to try and insult me, please do it better than that.

I don't know what path it is you're going down, but I hope it is the one that leads to the ship out of here so I don't have to listen to any more of your "look at me! look at me!" bullshit. Sadly though, that horn you insist on blowing just won't toot itself, so I'm sure you'll be back with more meandering, rambling idiocy in no time at all.
