Peterpairoftits is not a part of The Silk Glove, although he mentioned it in his profile on our request. He failed to see the opportunity that we gave him and fell at the first hurdle. 

Many wish to be a part of The Silk Glove but unfortunately we can not accept everyone into our little clique as many don't stand for the same beliefs... 

In other news...

The Silk Glove have happy times ahead, with a number of good rogues in and around the area, we are not targeting for the sake of targeting any-more. We will give the uppers of this world an opportunity to stop this madness and that is to give The Silk Glove it's own voice, let us mould our own representative into a family leader in LA. With his own district and protection from outside threats and The Silk Glove will keep it's vigilantes at bay as long as The Silk Glove have a place in this world. 

All you need to do is come out to the streets and let us know of your decision and we will start right away. We will leave it to SpikeS to be the voice for the others and let us know the decision.

Well, i think you chose so wrong way to ask this.

How uppers can trust u that you wont go insane again or how you can trust them to they wont target you after you become stronger?

"The Silk Glove"? What a terrifying name. I'm almost as scared of that as I am "The Cotton Underpants" or "The Nylon Polyblend Hairnet", but really, the most terrifying of them all is "The Sheepskin Condom".

Now that's something to be truly scared of.

Well that is something that other uppers will have to come to terms with. They are currently afraid to let anybody build a gun and that's why they keep killing people off. If they want us to stop shooting their family members then they must take a chance on other people playing the game, otherwise they don't give a hoot about their family.

As for Mr Wednesday..... does it really matter how scary our name is? We are not here to frighten people, we are here to make a point to try and get people to listen to us.

I'm no expert on underground groupings, but isn't rounding you all up into one place counter-productive and object... defeating?

I'd also like to take the chance to understand your motives. Unhappy with current leadership etc etc and the way things are run, but isn't that the way they're always run? Or have members of your select group in particular been rubbed up the wrong way by Godfather SpikeS and his regime? Do you call your vigilantes to action with every new leadership? Or does it take personal investment in the vendetta?

I know this is a lot of questioning, however I'm genuinely curious. My honest opinion would be to let things run their course. It's a little difficult to word this without coming across as a hopeful supporter of the notion, however; do you know what stings more than being taken down by some underground rogue that eventually makes the shot?

Being taken down by someone you considered a friend. Because regardless of if you're a brutal tyrant that stomps flat any attempts to rise against you, or a leader that is loved the world over, you leave little margin for your inevitable assailant to be anything more than someone you trust. That shit hurts way more than anything you can achieve. You'll have your sense of accomplishment, sure, but wouldn't you rather let the pot stir itself and dirty some consciences? My advice would be to dissolve your underground schemes, join crews and play nice, waiting for the day when you actually are top of the pile because everyone else deaded themselves. 

Oh, at the very least don't try and occupy a city, I think that's a fucking terrible idea. 

Poor Petey, not only could he not hit a barn door with a banjo, he's now been kicked out of the most formidable underground group ever known to man.

ChristianGato, first and foremost nobody has rubbed us up the wrong way. We are not bitter at all. 

Things are not always run like this, usually if you had a tyrant at the top he still wouldn't interfere with other families and what happens when a boss from their family builds a 800 kill gun, that person has worked hard for that gun but the uppers from another city (usually) require his head on a platter, as he is a threat to them. That is why The Silk Glove has come about.

Secondly we can't openly declare who we are and join a family and 'play nice' because we would be killed for our family lines actions, we don't want to remain in the shadows and play nice because that is not our way. We want blood lines to have fresh slates when they arrive on the shores because that is the way our world should work. No father should have to feel that his actions will kill the rest of his family because everyone can make mistakes. We are all human after all.

Finally, we will not group together under our representative, we would merely let him run business as usual and let him rise up and speak on our behalf, anyone who felt unsafe at the prospect of joining another family and dying because someone higher up than them called for his head wouldn't have to feel unsafe. Our representative wouldn't let other family heads kill their members for hard work, they would let them live long and prosper and if another city head decided to take matters into their own hands those who did die, would die knowing that they would be avenged.

We are not bitter at all. 

Really? You seem pretty bitter.  Like a whole grove of lemon trees is saying "Hey, tone down the bitter a little. It's a bit much, mmmkay."

I am not sure what to say to this other than to laugh, and that is just plain rude, so I'll just laugh on the inside. Come out as Silk Glove or whatever be who you are. Stand strong against oppression, you might just make it to Wise Guy.

Alessio stood a moment perplexed.

Alright hold on can you clear up one thing? You say once you build a 800 kill gun boom your wacked my question to you is number 1 how stealthily did you build that gun? Number 2 are you announcing to the whole world you have a canon because that is plain foolish. No matter what in life if people perceive you to be threat they will not hesitate to take you down that is how this life and all lives work. If you want a fresh start when you join then I advise that you don't create a bloodline? Change names truly change style and character and the actions of the father wont affect the son etc 

I have to say I'm a little confused by your group, and I'm wondering whether you've actually considered your end goals and how you're going about achieving them.

I mean on the one hand, you're basically saying "anyone should be able to train without fear of dying". And that on it's own is a fair enough point I think. But you're going around killing people who are trying to train up. The same ones you're saying should be able to train without fear of dying.

And also you've basically said that leaders let their members be killed when they get too strong - yet you're killing members and hoping that this will be enough of a threat for them to let you have your own city as a group. If they don't care enough about their members to protect them, why would they care if you threaten their members?

I mean I'm just confused. Your words and actions together don't make any sense to me.

Which hand do you wear this silk glove on?

Thank you MoreBoxedWinePlease for asking the important questions here. Haha

The First and most important thing to address here first is MoreBoxedWinePlease' question... We wear The Silk Glove on our Iron Fist over our right hand.

HarperLane, who is to say who the rogue is? If we were to say SpikeS is the rogue, would you call him a "good rogue"? Much like an army from one country moving into another country to kill terrorists, that other country would call that army terrorists. It depends what hand the glove is on, doesn't it?

DeadlySin, we are killing those people to make a point, that point being that their lives mean nothing. That training that they are doing is a fruitless endevour. I know our ways may be harsh but it has to be, for people to understand what is actually happening here...

Just recently, AZ was killed for having too big a gun, followed by Big_Al and then Hova. When we were dealing out our harsh punishment Hova had been the one most on top of us, he killed more of our beloved protection army than anyone else. Yet he still died for his training.

Basically DeadlySin, we don't much care for this action that we proposed, we are only proposing it because we know that the upper hierarchy will not agree to it, because they don't care about their members. We will do it, don't get me wrong. Though we basically want to show just how shallow and paranoid they actually are... They don't care about their families, all they care about is themselves. Which is fine with us... We will remove them in time... the gears are already ticking...

I don't want anyone to get confused over our actions, we come here to show that current leadership are not running the place how we would like, could they change those actions and get us back on their side? Of-course they could but will they? We doubt it. Stop killing certain blood lines because your afraid they might do something, let them prove they wont. Stop killing over big guns because your paranoid. Simple as that. Stop doing those things, let families grow as they should and The Silk Glove will cease their actions.

Did that sound bitter? I don't think it's bitter, I think it's common sense. 

Also those of you that think we are just a group of thug, nobodies who just want to cause havoc, think again. Our ancestors of many of The Silk Glove members have been in powerful positions through the ages, ex-godfathers, right hands to the most powerful people in the state at one time or another. This is not to boast, just to show that we know exactly what we are doing and that we could be loyal members to your families, you just need to group together and stop this madness. 

If an army moves into another country, they'd not be considered terrorists. Not sure why you'd use that analogy. To those people they would still just be 'an army killing terrorists.' even if they were viewed in a negative light.

Just saying.

I'm just going to brush over that you didn't answer me...

I've been back in this life for little over a year and I've not experienced anything other than the state of play we're currently in. That tells me there is personal vendettas at stake.

I've learnt to adapt to how things are run, to be wise and robust. In doing so I've gotten much more out of my time on these streets than just wasting a few months training a gun, killing a couple of people that, frankly, do not change the dynamic of the land, and repeating. Brute force will only be effective when cleverly executed. It's a waste of time and resources to do anything else.

Your reputation has suffered too much to live a normal life, I hear you say? Well that's a hole you've dug yourself. Try living a normal life, without agenda to topple powers or become a Godfather slaying monster. I don't want to hear excuses of 'I can't I'll get targeted for xyz reasons'

Can't means you're giving up, and giving up is a weakness. Just support the family that takes you in and do that till the day you die. Then your kin can hold their heads up and be anything they want to be. 

So... you're fisting your silk gloves?

What? That seems a little weird.

ChristianGato, please explain how I didn't answer your question?

I told you exactly what we want.

How can my kin hold there head up high and be one hundred percent loyal when all they get in return is a bullet in the head for being too good?

How about you answer me that one...
