After and eventful day Templar makes his way out to the streets a glum look upon his face, gathering the attention of those walking by he begins to explain LA's latest turn of events...

As you may well have noticed certain elements of Los Angeles have been removed it was not a decision that was taken lightly, information came to my attention about the involvement of two of LA's crew leaders in a plan to attack one of the other cities, I have always vowed to protect the majority over minority and have always looked at what is best for the city, I therefore could not and will not let others own personal agendas put the city at risk.

So the decision was made to remove both Paul and Sir_Bedivere's operations here in Los Angeles, it is unfortunate that I have had to make this decision as I had high expectations for both of them, none the less given the circumstances action had to be taken and given the fact it wouldn't have been the first time someone from LA had attacked other cities, I wasn't willing to take the chance of that potentially happening again and putting the rest of the city at risk of repercussions, I will not take up anymore of your time what's done is done and I stand by my actions.

Rip to the fallen!

Stepping down from the soapbox he ended up standing on, Templar nods his head straightens his suit and makes his way back to his office to continue his daily business.

The SaintEA forwards this message to the BeerGods so they are aware and they nod to him, knowing he will understand.

It is a sad day but the BeerGods understand things have to be done and sometimes us mere humans have to shoulder the burden. Thank you Templar fir the understanding. The BeerGods smile upon thee!

Upon listening of the words of Templar he decides to speak up.

Thanks Templar for the information, while you did not have to explain your actions it is greatly appreciated.  May the fallen rest peacefully and hope to see your kin on these shores again.

Catches his plane out of LA to maybe the city of lights for a night of poker.

While I doubt that you personally made this decision (and enforced it without outside help), thank you for informing the masses, sir Templar.

It seems as though Los Angeles has become drastically stronger since my most recent ancestor was part of the city. I congratulate you all on the increase in strength, as the demands in terms of gun strength of this move are the likes of which my ancestor would never have thought was possible in this timescale by those who remain when she was there. I admire the way the city is building under your leadership, Templar, and I must say that I find it particularly refreshing to see that Los Angeles is still running entirely without any outside interference at all, whatsoever, in any way, shape or form, as the rules of Los Angeles were explicitly given out by Godfather Curtis. I have no idea how you managed to become so much stronger in such short an amount of time, but I do congratulate you on how the city is handling it's affairs entirely internally still nevertheless. 

Curtis sighs at the infantile Moxie. 

"This issue affected the outside community. The rules of the LA project clearly state that there will be no outside interference so long as no internal issues affect outside interests. It also states that when that line is crossed, the outside community will intervene to resolve any issues.

That line was crossed. The outside community intervened to help resolve the issue. Case closed."

A lot of crew leaders seem to be wanting to attack New York and/or Philadelphia lately. At least we got clarification about this one though.

 I have always vowed to protect the majority over minority

A sure way to stay alive, stick with the bigger guys in order to stay alive.

Alas Moxie, these pesky ingrates had apparently began to scheme their evil schemes so perhaps outside help was given if in fact there was a plot to take out other cities.

Having heard of the takedown in LA, Beaker thought it would be for the best if he would wear his black suit, out of respect for the fallen. Waiting patiently, Beaker was nodding his head whilst attentively listening to each detail. As he was about to step up to the soap box, he was just beaten to the post by a smartly dressed man. Rather than try and muscle his way to the top (as Beaker had many, many muscles), he instead listened to the comments.

Once the comments were uttered and the soapbox was vacated, Beaker saw this as his chance to finally be heard. It was his chance to put his input into an important topic, and publicly at that. Seizing the opportunity, Beaker climbed upon the soapbox. Straightening his suit and brushing his hair back, Beaker took a deep breath before he started to talk.

Meep meeep meeep meeep, meeep meeep meep meep meep! Meep meep meep, meepmeep mememeeep meep meep! MEEP! MEEEEEEEEP! Meeep meeep meep, meeep meeeeeeeep, meep meep.

Wiping the sweat off his brow at the conclusion of his input, Beaker exhaled slowly. He had finally been able to voice his opinions, and even though his input was controversial and perhaps considered a little bit rude, it seemed like no one was even remotely mad with him. The vacant and puzzling looks on peoples faces were misconstrued by Beaker as people agreeing with him.

With this victory firmly in his pocket, Beaker stepped off the soap box and disappeared into the crowd once more, meeping gently to himself.

You know it is such a shame that people that are being given the chance to make something of themselves, make something out of a city and be remembered for their ability to lead continues to keep trying to bite the hand that either feeds them or gives them these opportunities. It is nice to see that this was quickly put to an end just like last nights attempts as well.

I do thank you Templar for coming forward about this as quickly as you did and ensuring that this threat was neutralized, maybe some day we can stop worrying about who is plotting and be able to sleep peacefully but it seems people continue to plot away regardless. Seems tonight though we will all be able to sleep peacefully now.

Thank you Templar for explaining to me what happened with my crew and greatly appreciative of having the opportunity to work with you in this great city of ours.

Actually I do mind because I am really not the kin of Paul, but by all means try to shrug off my argument as completely baseless and without any merit whatsoever.

By all means if Paul was found to be scheming, please do share with the rest of the community the proof of this so that the outside interference ends up having merit.

I can guarantee you it won't give my head a wobble.

Change my grammar?

I like how this is getting completely off topic on something that really should not matter based upon what is being said.

Right now, the kin of Paul is off doing something else related to things in another world I'm betting.  You just can't wrap your head around the possibility that someone else might be upset about being removed without any good reasoning and is now searching for a nice validated argument in the streets to show to everyone else just exactly the caliber of mobster that is currently residing in the city of angels.

If you can't prove your point, it proves you to be worthless.

Of course that fact can be still fine with everyone else, you don't necessarily have to prove your point to win around here, you just have to exploit things like you are currently doing.  I'm just doing my part to lift the shroud so everyone can see the facade.

Well, show us your part of the storry. Prove us things. Pardon me, but I don't even understand what you are insinuating...

Yup. He made his claims clear, Salvatore.

If my memory serves me right Curtis explicitly stated that LA was NOT a competition, that there would NOT be any prizes and some other things a long those lines. Wasn't going to say anything but now you are repeating that it is a competition, which is false. I think he made that statement so people like yourself wouldn't go to LA, get killed, and then proceed to do what you are doing here now. Could be mistaken though....

Afghan turns and pulls a joint from behind his ear and lights it as he meanders down the streets of LA in search of some good food. 

None of the external community will interfere in the events of Los Angeles any way. The participants will have no protection, help with firepower or other assistance, from any of the established families outside the city. 

I don't see how arguing semantics has any bearing on this rule set forth when the city was opened up for people to house their own families in.

the fact that it was supposed to be a competition city

Another fact of yours?

What does it all have to do with endangering a whole city of yours like with plans to attack another city/cities if you are clearly forbidden to?

I'm laughing so hard right now, you have no idea.

Once again, if you have proof to back up your claim, present it.
