TimeForREVOLUTION! Started by: Dagenham_Marr on Nov 02, '09 18:29

Dagenham_Marr searches around and grabs a milk crate and pulls it to the corner of a large building. He gets everyone's attention by firing a couple of rounds into the sky. A bird falls down and Marr thinks to himself "Oops, damned bird." Marr awaits a crowd to join around him and begins to speak.

Revolution. Definition, a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, esp. one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence. Also known as, Social Evolution. You may find yourself wondering why exactly you are sitting here listening to this, and how it pertains to you. Simple. I have been around, and I have seen many things. One thing I have noticed it the shear linearity of how most things are ran. Most take the ideals and laid out diagram for how things are ran, and run things to the letter to what lays before them. I am calling for a revolution.

Dagenham_Marr looks around the crowd and lights a cigarette before continuing.

This great country that we all reside in was built by revolution. It may not always run well, but every single city has its own ideals and own plans that make it unique. Right now I do not see that. I see cities sharing way too much.

Every city should run things their way. A unique way. With unique thoughts, unique ideals, unique everything. Make the city yours, not a city ran by someone in another city. Each family should adhere to the rules laid before them, but bring forth their own different way of doing things. I am not calling for massive wars and bloodshed. Honestly, a revolution can take place peacefully, with no blood loss and no lives lost. Simply just by changing what you do from day to day.

Dagenham_Marr lights another cigarette before finishing his speech

Every single person in the world is unique. Each person has their own strengths. If everyone played to their strengths, and not the strengths of others, or what others believe their strengths to be, we would have the perfect revolution.

I know that I am going to be the subject to some much needed debate with my speech to you all here today. To be honest, that is what we need right now.

So, I implore you, every single one of you, don't be a linear person. Don't be a straight laced person. Be your own. Be free. Evolve in the Revolution. Because it is truly TimeForREVOLUTION!

Dagenham_Marr looks around the gathered crowd and awaits the coming storm while lighting another cigarette, the final in his pack. Damn.

Rourke slyly slides into the picture and hands a fresh pack to Dagenham_Marr. It was an expensive brand of cigarettes. As Rourke was not a fag connoisseur, he was unsure which type was expensive so went with the comparison that it was just an expensive brand. He briefly offered an opinion to the man.

I have been happy to say that thus far in St. Louis I have been nothing but squiggly, far from the linear shape that you mentioned in the latter part of your speech. I have tried to introduce two initiatives: the banning of Administrator Camazotz from the city, and the brief mention that there will be no taxes to the city, in order to help St. Louis begin to distinguish itself from the other Seven Cit-Seas. I'm working behind the scenes on several powerful new initiatives that will help improve the city financially and increase City Hall's budget for new roads and bridges.

As the sole purveyor of St. Louis real estate, I have ample opportunity to place my mark on the city and I look forward to meeting the "challenge" issued by your speech. I welcome any and all suggestions for improvements in my mailbox.

I have no interest in being unique. I have interest in making sure my wallet is as thick as possible without pulling my trousers down with it's weight. If that means myself and Iota run our syndicate similar to how others run theirs, then I have zero problem with that.

Where did this ridiculous fallacy come from anyway, that each city or family must present different ideas, to think outside the box? Our primary, indeed our sole, objective here is to make money. Not to amuse and put on shows. How many times did you see a Leader put on a show or competition before? That was nice and exciting and unique I bet; but how many times did it lose them money?

Revolution? Change? Unless you can show me that the financial return from this is going to be worth it,then I'm sure I don't give a damn!

Dagenham_Marr takes a cigarette out of the pack Don Rourke slyly handed him and lights one.

Thank you Don Rourke, just my brand. In regards to what you are doing in Saint Louis, I am pleased to say that you are doing a wonderful job in straying from the linear style that I discussed. Congratulations, thank you for accepting the challange, and continue your excellent work in Saint Louis.

Now, Mr. Levenstein. Your belief in having no interest in being unique, is exactly what is wrong with most of the leadership today. You say that it is because you fear that there is no proof of financial return in being unique, or revolutionizing what you are doing. However, sticking to the linear, or how everyone else does things, lifestyle is going to prevent you from every knowing if you could have a huge financial gain from this ideal. Revolution does not mean that you cannot go back to how things used to be if things are not working out.

Perhaps the main objective of everyone is not to only make money. Making money helps yourself only. There are some of us in this world, that prefer to help others also. I am not saying to evolve by amusing people and putting on shows, there are plenty of other ways to change how things are done. I also happen to know plenty of times that money has been gained from competitions and shows. That happens to be the point of the competition and show sometimes.

Just know that your "not giving a damn" is exactly the problem in the world today.

Ms. Tritium, my position in the heiarchy is a complete secret, I do not wish to risk a FBI agent hearing anything regarding position. And if you are working on several initiatives, good job and keep up the good work!

Dagenham_Marr takes out another cigarette and lights it and awaits more opinions on this matter.

To come out here and challenge the leadership of the city I call home, or to even insinuate such, is to walk a fine line. What can you tell me about leadership, kid? Sure, ol' pops may have knew something - but he ain't you. I worked hard for my family, and for Deimne's before this one. I went through the motions, making sure I had enough personal experience before I took an important role, hell - I even made my bones too. And you know what, in New York, I'm not special. Every single Leader in NY, as well as their slanties, have proved themselves. They are all personally experienced in New York matters, they are all men and women of honour.

Maybe I'm a little old fashioned, but to me, that is leadership more than uniqueness is leadership. If you can give your members solidarity and consistency, in return they will trust and have faith in you. This is leadeship more than being unique and revolutionary can ever be.

Perhaps the main objective of everyone is not to only make money.

Then these people are in completely the wrong business, I can't see a reason to consistently and repeatedly break the law unless for financial gain. Can you? I like to help others too incidentally, in particular - 50 people who call themselvers Crackerjacks, and of course, New York as a whole.

I'm not saying that I oppose change, I'm saying that I oppose change for it's own sake. If something can be implemented in my city that will lead to more stability, security and dollar bills - of course I will throw my influence behind it. If something can be implemented that will serve to satisfy a vague and abstract idealogy, then I just can't go with that.

And you know what, maybe my not giving a damn is the problem with the world today. But you know what? I don't give a damn about that either. I give a damn about myself, my family, and my city - the buck stops there, because I am a Mobster and I understand the life I live.

Firstly, I would like to ask how you figure you have the right to voice your opinion in these streets about anything regarding leadership.

You are but an Earner and you have taken it upon yourself to address issues that someone of the hierarchy of a city deals with. If a city wishes to be "unique," that is their business.

I have to agree with Noah-Levenstein on this one, the main purpose of being a mafioso is to make money. A leader should not go out of his/her way to be unique. They should do what is best for their family and their wallets. If a family went out in the streets and threw a competition everyday, they would lose a hell of alot of money. That is not what a leader should want.

Bloedsuier nods respectfully to both Don Rourke and Consig Noah-Levenstein and takes his leave.
