SpikeS walks out into the windy and cold streets, unshaven, but with bright eyes, and an unfaltering step.

And so, I come out here to comment on everything. I am very tired, as should be expected, but I will do my best to explain all that went on:

Here we go: the removal of Chicago and Las Vegas. Kimble previously stated he wouldn’t be publicly speaking on it, but after all of this, I feel it’s best to explain it a little bit: Aztec and I were old friends. I put complete confidence in him, and our lines had worked together for a very good duration. He did something that made me feel isolated by his friends for a period about a month and a half ago, and repeatedly stated it was his friends who did it, and they were not a problem. I wish he had known me better than that. I believed him for a long time, but of course my anger was then targeted at Psychopath and Mibbit and Minion for supposedly coming up with it. He obscured the board and the pigment of the pieces. 

Was I upset with them before that? No. I had felt completely betrayed and had previously thought they were my friends, and the loyal allies. So, I then viewed them as enemies, and figured, somewhat correctly, that the only reason why I was alive was due to Kimble and even Aztec, despite his misplaced move on the board.

I do not know why Aztec kept me alive. He probably could’ve done something to have me removed. I even gave him a copious amount of warnings that things were looking bad for Chicago, and I didn’t think I could hold things back. I was quite forward with him about my premonitions, and potential plans to protect myself and others. He had even given me some suggestions, but they were blatantly unreasonable and in retrospect, he was likely trying to lead me astray. 

Here is where I will slow down though. I do not mean to trash my old friend. I have nothing personal against him. He is brilliant, and playing with him was fun and intellectually stimulating, but he should not be a bad loser. It is dishonorable. This is a person I put full faith into, and he made an error in judgement. It happens. I wish that error hadn’t had been with me because I never figured it would’ve come to him dying. He did hide it well under the veil of friendship, and I didn’t want him taken out before his death. However, knowing what I know now, for the karma of his misstep to return to him and not to me, the correct move was made, and generally speaking, it is for the better of the entire populous of this world, mainly due to what was within his group in terms of certain grossly unjust principles and inactivity mostly (of course, the silent colossus archetype), which thankfully won’t permeate any longer.

Aztec was a good person. I will always appreciate the times I worked with him, and I really hold no malice towards his kin. However, I know his spirit is frustrated by making an incorrect move on the board, and that is plain childish. When playing chess with friends, you can’t even gesture a move into another space on the board, without proceeding with that move otherwise you open yourself up, or as it occurred, his friends up for offensive/defensive tactics. For a man who I had a lot of respect for, I know he knows better, and he should know by now that underground tactics do not work in an above ground position due to the nature of karma in this world. That is something for people with no expectations of longevity, and creating falsehoods only fails you.

Regarding Psychopath, I was very paranoid about him, mostly due to the aforementioned reasoning, plus admittedly some people he harbored. I think those people were completely loyal to him, and would only have hurt me if he wanted to hurt me, which admittedly was the sole fear. He did not actually hurt me, and he was put in a very bad spot due to the same aforementioned reasons of Aztec’s move, deflecting frustrations on to him. I liked the guy, but his paranoia, paired with mine, clashed horribly. His kin’s actions in the aftermath towards Kimble were atrocious though, and we would never have done the same. I will not be resorting to any of that. It is unforgivable for that to happen with whom you were so close with, despite dying due to a strategic flaw, in a world based on just that, strategy, not personal reasons, as many of them were driven by in their lives. The thing also to know is that pragmatism need a bit of heart to counterbalance it.

Mibbit and Minion were die-hard loyal to Aztec, and that is completely honorable. It is a shame that they had to suffer for it, but such is the world we live in. I am very sorry for them, but that is the life of a soldier whose leader makes a dire misstep. All leaders do at one point or another. Blackwater is a very loyal group, and I have stood by them since their inception, but this world is ruled by strategy and a quid pro quo of all actions. Nothing should be taken personally, especially given how hard I tried for forty something days to make things work so that should be worth something.

Onto the goings on with Ronin, Asylum, and the death of Kimble: Every word that Ronin divulged is true. He had his reasons for paranoia and Asylum knew that he could manipulate that. Kimble was a great turkey, but I had told him after Nilf died, he or I could not get any higher particularly. His death was completed by the musings of scum, just like Christ, but he will be remembered the same way in many people’s hearts, idolized. Asylum is scum. We all saw it coming. Kimble was the only one who wanted him alive, and he died for it. His ancestry is scum. They hurt the innocents around him because they were scum and they likely will always be scum, as if that’s not me expressing personal feelings, but enough is enough.

Moving on: Ronin and I are of a common understanding to create a new world, and the hope is for it to be a beautiful one. I share no ill will towards my previous right hand, underboss, and friend for the death of my turkey, and I feel that he shares the same sentiments about me. That was caused by scum.

He has been aware of all the information that was divulged, but it’s easy to make anyone jumpy in that situation, like the scum did, since the scum was jumpy too. The only thing for some to realize is that there needs to be context and background to understand what was really going on. In the situation we are in though, paranoia is not at play and it cannot be an option or path to go down. 

We have a goal, and he knows my ideals and plans to work with him and everyone else we have under us on, which are solely to create a world for people to enjoy for once, unlike our darker ages. We also hope to bring back the concept of standards.

He also knows that I have no goals for myself: Everyone who made me their enemy is dead. I cannot do anything to raise myself up. Everyone left in power is a friend of mine. I am in many ways complete, save for having my turkey alive still. That is something that no one can take from me, for having this moment. It is eternal no matter the plans people have ahead.

A notice to the sons and daughters who were hated or whose parents were killed by Nilf, you were are not the enemies of those still standing unless you should choose to be. Many of you were not our enemies. 

My prerogative is to keep this world whole with Ronin, WiggleButt, and Jake_Ballard, nothing more and nothing less.

As for Detroit, I must apologize for my demeanor in the last month and a half. For each day of it, I feared our deaths. I was preoccupied with constant fear. I had to answer to a lot of people for every action within our city, and that is over now. My past inattentive behavior is inexcusable though, but I will do my best to make up for it and keep everyone involved in building a great and better city and world.

I should also take this time to thank Kimble and JackRuby. In my time, I have never worked for people so, well, great. We were the Master Basters with Ronin, and boy did the gravy rain down. 

Kimble and I somehow came to where we were, after being in South Side, Chicago (only the equivalent of a small town in the grander scheme of things at the time), and it was a ridiculous conquest from there to where we stood. JackRuby, the turkeybear, was the best right hand that Kimble could’ve possibly had. He was far better than me. It is impossible for me to express my gratitude and thanks for everything. Kimble did his best to keep our world balanced and alive, despite having to deal with our other coworker’s ideals, which were needless to say, harsh, illogical, etc. I know he will never be forgotten beyond all of our lives, and my mourning will never stop so long as I live. 

Removes the turkey from the icebox. Eyes the turkey’s breasts and takes out a carving knife. Eats the turkey, save for bones, cartilage, and skin, and makes Rayln her own turkey bear teddy, with never-ending tears from both the mind-blowing favors from the forever basted flesh and sadness flowing down his cheeks.

He wasn’t fully cooked.

SpikeS quickly runs to the toilet, and cries, among other things, dropping the mic.

Spikey was headed to bed when she suddenly caught the latest news which she gave the time of day to read. She reflects on what her Papa instilled in her. "Opinions are like assholes and everyone has one."  She brushes the hair off her forehead and continues to address SpikeS who is obviously full of opinion and paranoia based on this speech. She continues too look for facts to substantiate the death toll and to no avail she came up empty handed.

Lets face it SpikeS, your backroom meetings are responsible for the latest death wave. And God only knows how many other times, but I will stick to the latest bloodbath and focus on the meeting that landed on the coffee shop tables which contradicts this tear jerking fest. Believe it or not SpikeS. one does not have to be including in any meetings what-so-ever to recognize who is paranoid and who is not. In your meetings you accuse mafioso, a GF at that, of being paranoid. Yet, you yourself depicted the very same act in your own words above my head.

My Papa taught me when one is pointing a finger 4 are pointing back "Them"

As far as I can tell you've offered little to no insight into what moves, wrongly or otherwise, were made by the aforementioned Nifl chaps, choosing instead to maintain a rather tame chess metaphor leaving myself (and I assume a few others) none the wiser as to well, anything.

If you're going to come out here purportedly to "comment on everything", it is probably best to actually have your say rather than just elude to it. 

The height of wit, for sure. Almost on a par with the geniuses who used to add "erino" as a suffix to everything.

There isn't an explanation there at all. Perhaps an attempt to absolve some guilt that may be felt by SpikeS, but no explanation. To those that lots friends and family and wanted answers as to why, this doesn't help at all.

That said, being that I myself am part of Detroit, I appreciate the candid honesty about your recent failings and hope you live up to the promise for the future as that is frankly all I care about.

The bottom line is in any war we have in this game is to kill or be killed .... So if Spikes and Ronin wanted to remove CH than really thats all they need to say .

Just like when Ch removed PH and said we all died in a plane or bus crash..... really they don't have to tell anyone anything on why they wanted to remove a city
