A young man walks out in front of crowd gathered around the podium that stands vacant in the streets. Pulling out a cig he  lights it, and  waits for the the crowd to settle down so he can speak.

Ok, I'm new to the shores and I wanted to present y'all with a contest!

The crowd cheers and stands on end waiting for the news that he has to say.

I present you all to the very first "Mafia's I.Q. Test."

The crowd cheers for a slight the second then looks at the man in confusion.

I know what you all are thinking, why an I.Q. Test? Well because this test is only for the Crew Leaders to prove their wits . That's right ONLY Crew Leaders. Do you think your Crew Leader is smarter than the other ones? Well here is the chance to prove themselves and everyone else who is the smartest Crew Leader around.

The crowd cheers.

The way this will work is very simple, The Crew Leaders will send me his or her answers once they are finish so there will be NO CHEATING.Since I'm so young and I'm pinching pennies left and right, I will only be able to give away 100k to the winner but donations will be accepted to raise the pot if anyone would care to send. The contest will end on Jul 21, '09 at 23:00(game time) and start now. Good luck to everyone!

The crowd roars with excitement.

Woodstock walks out

The contest is closed and the Winner is Judge_Holden. Apparently there a few people that have a problem with this small little contest. Sorry this couldn't last longer.

Woodstock takes his leave

I apologize about this thread, please disregard it. I'm looking for a street cleaner.

This reaction seems a little excessive.

Why does it need cleaning?

~T~

You really think it's excessive? Who the fuck is this Goomba to TEST Crew Leaders?

One thing is to throw some riddles for whoever wants to enter, but this is obviously highly inappropriate.

He has not come out here and demanded that they be tested has he?

He came out here and basically said 'I have put together a little quiz and I am opening it to Crewleaders as a competition to see who is smartest. Mail me your answers if you wish to join in'

How is that highly inappropiate? He hasn't demanded anything off anyone nor has he been disrespectful in how he did it.

The fact Judge_Holden decided to take the quiz shows that he didn't find it inappropiate. You arguing with him CrazyNine?

As much as I hate to butt in again I just thought i'd say I meant to ask "Are you arguing with him CrazyNine?" as the way I worded it earlier would get my back up if I were in your shoes CrazyNine.

'Tis all

Something I think you may have missed:

"Ok, I'm new to the shores and I wanted to present y'all with a contest!"

Considering how unbelieveably ridiculous we are over protecting -48 Gangsters, a Goomba who is clearly keen to make a name for themselves in our world, has made the effort to put something out on the streets, has been forced into taking his own life.

Secondly, I don't see anything inappropriate about it. If the leaders didn't want to participate, they didn't have to. Hell, he was even offering them 100k if they won. Hardly the actions of a Goomba out to shame people, perhaps someone being a touch naive, but it seems little more than that to me. 

There is nothing obviously highly inappropriate about it.

~T~

I finally had the chance to best Judge_Holden, only to have it snatched away from me!

Shakes his fist in the general direction of Judge_Holden.

I have to say, personally I love seeing something a little different hit our streets. When the person presents it in a respectable manner, even if/when it is aimed at CLs, as it was in this case... I feel it's 100% appropriate.

The results are in, and as it turns out, you are all retarded.

(at least, those who jumped in this guy's shit for trying to bring something unique and interesting to the streets)

I thought this was a unique thread (for once!) Not sure what all the commotion was about, peeps need to chill just a little.

Stops at the fruit stand and pays for a couple of fresh honey-crisp apples, tucks one into his jacket pocket and shines the other up on his sleeve before taking a bite.

Wasn't no skin off my nose, just a kid out trying to give this place a little fun for a few minutes. That it was exclusively for CL's didn't really bother me. It was his money, I'm only too happy to take it from him. The compound needs some roof repairs and a bigger garage anyways. If I was supposed to be insulted it went right over my head. I didn't feel like he was questioning any of our intelligence but rather reinforcing the belief that you get to wear the big bold suits because you got a lot going for you.

Sees Mama Leone from down at the cleaner's go by and gives her the other apple. Maybe she won't overstarch his shirts next time. Everything he put on for a week felt like a combination of cardboard and asphalt. Little scratchy too.

Looks like me and Deimne will have to go back to swinging cactus paddles on strings at each other again to see who's the grooviest cat walking these streets. He may have beat me at "Whistle Or Lose It" but at least I got this I.Q .thing in my pocket. You ever try to whistle the theme from the Lone Ranger with a mouth full of saltines while someone is doing their best to tear off your nipple with a pair of pliers? They have a different way of settling differences in the big apple than we do here in Califas. I couldn't hardly stand to wear one of them damned chaffing starchy shirts after that. Whoever thought up Whistle Or Lose It must have been one sour hombre and having a bad day. You'd have thought someone had slept with his wife, burned his house down, and kicked his dog all in the same day to come up with something like that.

Nods

I got a pocketful of money for about a minute-n-a-halfs work. I don't reckon it hurt anyone either than that ol' boy lying in the boneyard. Rest in peace, kid.

Marietta frowns.

All I want to know is, why did you have to close the contest so early? I wanted a chance to kick everyone's ass. This seems so unfair!

Decides never to sleep. Ever again.

Wow.

Some act like this was some type of plague to hit the streets. I actually found this quite refreshing and if I was a CL I would have happily answered all the questions. We all sit here and bitch and moan about nothing new being presented in the streets...this is why there is never anything new.

Granted he was a goomba asking for CLs to answer an IQ test...any of the CLs have anything to hide lol. In all reality I congrat Woodstock on this thread and hope to see something as fresh as it again.

I think its time I stepped up and gave my opinion as Woodstocks former Crew Leader. I feel horrible about this whole situation. Yes Woodstock posted something new and fresh that may or may not have been fun. I didn't feel it was a big deal. My fellow CL's could take the challenge or disregard.

However, when I awoke Woodstock was already cold in the cemetery and I had received mail concerning his "Act" of disrespect in the streets.

I stress to my new crew members to come to a higher crew member or my RH/LH before posting anything they may not be sure of, before posting, He hadn't.

May his death serve as a reminder that new comers don't always understand fully the situations they could get in by a simple action.

G.R.H.S Woodstock

I have to agree with Marietta,

""The contest will end on Jul 21, '09 at 23:00(game time) and start now. Good luck to everyone!""

It is not Jul 21 yet, and the winner has already been decided. Why was it closed so early?

I think she should still have a fair chance to whoop ass.

The contest ended because Woodstock received too much grief, and at the moment is a little stiff.

And no, Marietta would not have won. Girls are not smart.

I'll get you Butt_Ox.  You and your little dog, too.

Run toto! Run!

1. All twelve months have twenty eight days.

I win. In your face, Butt_Ox. Marietta, I will need you to send me two million dollars on account of me beating you in this contest.
