SpikeS steps out into the streets

As many of you might have figured, there was a cold war this week which was uncomfortable to say the least, and no matter what, things weren’t really assuaged. I was assured with a sense for mutually assured destruction as our peacemaker, but I didn’t think that would realistically hold for long. I noticed Ronin’s obvious discomfort peaking on certain sleepless nights of his, and certain questionings he did to several people. I knew he had requested access to certain tools of war, just to show someone, and was trying to replicate it, which was pretty alarming. I heard things about his left hand trickling down information about war brewing against me, from people I trust. I heard of certain groups he was trying to bring back into power, which was sort of funny and unrealistic. Plain and simple, I heard a lot of things.

I also heard things about secret meetings that would be occurring this past day over secure telephone lines. I was keeping him updated on everything that was coming across my desk, so that was pretty shocking to see. I heard he was getting heavily involved in things that I had advised him to stay out of since it would only create further drama for him. The fact of the matter is, I knew I would be expected to handle it. He clearly was not listening. I can stop there.

Ronin was my friend. We tried to make things work, but certain past tensions would never go away. Certain people under him would only cause further tension. I took his life to protect my people, and end a cold war which in all eventuality without my action, would have resulted in the death of me and my people, or at least me, and massive losses of life. Whereas, with my move, there would be a less decimated playing field. I know he was suffering a lot the last week. I ended the cycle of fear for the both of us, and the sleepless nights. I do not feel good about it, but it is something I’ll have to accept.

He was my Right Hand originally. He was a strong ally. I won’t say he ever crossed over to being an enemy, because he really didn’t. He was a threat though, and he only became a threat due to the faults of the past reign, which I was a part of. Sadly, that stain couldn’t be wiped away clean, and here we are. Rest in peace, Ronin. You deserved a better life, and I wish I could’ve done better for you, because you gave me nothing less than your A game.

SpikeS walks away to go drink it away. 

You'll get your fair share of detractors for your move I'm sure Godfather SpikeS, but the bottom line is that you did what you had to do to not only keep your interests safe, but to solidify your position in the underworld. A shame when business gets in the way of a friendship, but that's how it goes sometimes. You'll be tasked to spearhead the rebuild the tattered remains of the American Cosa Nostra, but at least you'll be able to breathe a little easier as you do it.  Enjoy the success you achieved for yourself.  Salut.

Classic.

Ronin did indeed struggle with placing his trust in you. Clearly for good reason. He did ask a couple of close friends their advice, but he obviously placed his trust in the wrong hands. He requested access to that tool of war to show a friend, not to replicate, as he already had long before saved a blank copy of the document you speak of. 

The certain groups bit is not only insulting, but shows exactly why you are not and have never been truly fit to lead. Ronin had no desire to bring the group of back to power, as you know full well, because he hated half of them. But this obsession you have with tracking people, with watching them and purging them when they become too strong, it's ridiculous. You micromanage like no one this world has ever met, and it is not how things should be done. Not every child is like their ancestors, as Ronin clearly proved.

There was no secret meeting. Whoever gave you that intel was an idiot. There was a city wide meeting to be held today. It was sent in a mass mail. It literally was just a meet and greet, a way to introduce himself to the newer people in his city. He did literally the same exact thing a week prior when he was given Philadelphia. It was a huge hit, and the people who attended raved about how no other leader had done something like this, and how much they enjoyed it. So, naturally, he scheduled another one when a fresh wave of people came in.

Ronin busted his ass for you. Ronin deserved the chance he got, and deserved to be given a fair chance to work alongside you, like he was giving to you despite his best judgement. Literally, in every single war since Ronin began working with you, you took one shot and then a pro. You didn't shoot again unless you needed to refresh that pro.

Who was up til 6 am chasing the rogue, Credits? Ronin was.

Who was up til 8 am chasing the rogue, Andromeda? Ronin was.

Who chased after Psychopath for nine hours, spending over 60 million in private flights to refresh on him while you hid behind a pro? Ronin was.

Who paid for not only his entire entourage of bodyguards, but also helped pay for KingRevan's, Eragon's, and both of their HQs? I think you can see the pattern. It certainly wasn't you. As usual you were gambling any money kicked up to you. Sadly, you are no Sticks1988, and can't win.

You're damn right he gave you his A game. 

And now it's just a matter of time Spikey. Who will get to you first? Will it be Goku? Will it be Babak? Perhaps your own city, who you were so worried about not even a few weeks ago. I could pull logs and show some of the people you say you trust just how dirty you truly are, but that's not really my style. Hell, bitching after a war isn't my style, but this is a special case.

Ronin passed on the opportunity to run the game, because he trusted you. Because he wanted to believe that his hard work and effort had left an impression on you. He saw a bright future for our world, with the two of you at the helm. And he was pretty sure you saw that as well.

He was wrong.

SpikeS as much as this move would hurt the damage had already been done i would happen to guess that most foot soldiers and associates from Philly as well as Detroit could see the writing on the wall.

It was only a matter of time before the cracks broke away and everything fell apart.

I will echo the words spoken by Detroit's World Champion Idiot Wrestling Legend RazorRamon and hope that now there will be peace and the building process can now get under way.

So you kill his whole family? Wait wasn't that your old family? - Some of us were pretty disheartened by your move to take out everyone when it could have been solved by putting one man in the grave.

My lineage doesn't hold any grudges but at the end of the day I joined SpikeS and when he got Godfather I got moved in with Ronin, not that that bothered me I like Ronin but you killed a lot of your own family. I was in a rock and a hard place and you put me and others into that position SpikeS without thought.

I personally stay loyal to the crewleader that I'm with at the time but the fact that it was you, the person who I had joined when I was a thug, I could have lived with that decision to come back with you.

If our positions had of been reversed very few would have died in that take-down.

Spike..aka slime ball..aka snake..aka krusty the clown..aka cancer.
 

Red flag #1 - Lets rewind back in time for just a bit. When Spike started out in Chicago, I was curious why Duplicity hated him. Spike even confirmed this himself. The one interesting thing I noticed, he was never in defense about the way she felt about him. I didn't want to put too much thought into it since there was nothing good to come out of it, as we were working with each other in CH.


Red flag #2 - The number of hits placed on Spike puts WiggleButt to shame. Thinking about it now, I feel so stupid for giving money to Kimble to buy off his hits (if only I knew how much of a slime you were, then I would of been creating those hits myself lol)! I thought to myself...for someone to keep posting those hits over and over and over again...mannnn, that has to be some kind of passionate hate. But knowing you now, it makes complete sense. The next question I have in my mind, how many people did your bloodline back stab or fuck over? (..still counting..)
 

Red flag(s) #3 - Kimble was ready to send Spike to his own city - it was going to be either DT or CH. Every single upper in CH didn't want Spike in their city. I'm pretty sure this came clear to him because he gave up the option to move there and made his move to DT. When he moved to DT, holy shit, people were scrambling. Mobsters with reputable bloodlines were jumping ship since he was taking over DT. It was so out of character for these people to do such a thing, but again, it makes sooooooo much more sense now. I would of done the same!

Red flag #4

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.

Aztec was tired of your selfish antics and his actions only confirmed what was already in our heads - snake, slime ball, cancer, etc. And the only thing that kept you alive was the close relationship you had with Kimble. Unfortunately, that man bought into your bullshit and now look what happened to him. You used him as a crutch to keep yourself alive. Bravo, really. But lets be serious though, your character as a person isolated you from most of the group. You said what I did to Kimble was atrocious, but I think you need to take a nice looooong look in the mirror son lol 

Red flag #5 - After everything Kimble has done for you, you showed him your appreciation by stepping to the side and letting Ronin kill him. Ronin considered you a close friend too, what happened to him again? BANG!

The red flags are real, but his friendships are not, especially when your gun becomes a liability.

P.S. If I find out this "tool of war" has any blue prints from Niflheim, I will show you a new level of hate you never seen before.

"However, it wasn't all roses as we found every so often a new situation would arise, and after a lot of digging around we almost always found that said situation would involve DeadlySpike in one way or another.

We would sit back and deal with it, as friends and loyalist do, but then we started asking each other what the fuck is this guy doing now? 

Did trouble and rumors follow him constantly or did this man go searching?

Jake never seemed to be fazed by any of it, as the gentleman he is. He has the quality to have a quite word to people, to get the answers he needs. Something we could all aspire to. 

Then again, how long can we sit back while DeadlySpike constantly causes problems?

...

Suffice to say it appeared that any rumors or concerns were being handled by DeadlySpike, a man that was causing the majority of them in the first place. We didn't appreciate this, and unfortunately as time went on we found that his blood lust appeared to have no bounds."

The irony in this old speech. 

P.S. If I find out this "tool of war" has any blue prints from Niflheim, I will show you a new level of hate you never seen before.

Spike, you are truly piece of shit.

Way to rob the people who spent countless hours creating it.

And you have the audacity to call people scum. You fucking hypocrite. 

Oops.

Have no fear! Gangsters R Us here! We have the remedy for these paranoid fuktards. 

SpikeS, why speak? It is very insulting to those who have some level of intelligence.  Do you even listen to yourself when you speak to the crowd? 

"Ah, So That's why my father died."

Hannibal shook his head as he slowly walked away from the crowd.

"That night, My father called me to tell me how excited he was for the Philadelphia Town Meeting." 

South-paw makes an interesting point.  Apparently, everybody in the world was telling Ronin to kill Spike.  Kill Spike.  Kill Spike.  Kill Spike.  Everybody saying it.  What was Spike to do?  Seems like Spike and Ronin were both in a predicament.
