I started playing as Karen just to help out Senza, I had helped her as Rafaella_DAlterio and thought would give it another run.  The second was run was better than the first and i met a lot of new people hit the streets a bit more once i came out of my comatozed style of playing.

There was never really a plan or an intention, just help out a friend without damaging their name or image along the way.  As time drew on i suddenly came active around the death of pine and kimble having fun forming up with a tight knit group who had worked well together and as an outside tried becoming an integral component.

I couldn't have achieved what i did though without those around Chicago at the time under Curiosity and including Curiosity.  For someone i never particularly liked i still did my best for the family and was happy in time when Senza took me as RH just as Curiosity was trying to set me as LH.

To Chicago as whole i thank you, i had many a great night with you.  To my fellow leaders outside Chicago was a pleasure meeting you, mixing with you and having some fun on the streets.

To Senza, told you i can be good but don't let it get around. :P

To the most important group my crew.  I am sorry for those we have lost i had hoped sorting your pros and getting you home would of helped with our defence.  I know my standards were high for ranking but is only as i knew you were or could be capable of it.  We had a lot of fresh faces, and the greatest pleasure i had was trying to teach the new and trying to offer some direction and patience.  I will continue to believe RP is part of the game and will continue to encourage it I ever lead or play again.

To Striphe, I couldn't have asked more of you, you know i will love you forever for everything you did for the crew.

Kerosene, David, MIkkelk you were three of the craziest people i ever met and loved every minute around how you livened up chat.

Backup, Mavrik, Mike_Thefiixer thanks for everything you did for the family, you worked your asses off and will still be sorting through mike's ws's long after the death of this character.  You would be a credit to any crew.

Arnie, you know you love Chicago and was your dream to be here.

Scratchy, Anton, Joey, keep rp'ing, keep working together you know you are a cracking team and in time could be examples to others.

JoeyC, good luck with the police.  Your never a problem, a pleasure to have and one of the most nicest guys around.  Keep asking questions, play more and one day you could do so much more.

Grassboy, stop shagging start playing.

To the rest of my crew, nothing changes, Striphe would do anything to protect you just like i would of.  I will miss you all from chatting with shemadhatter over dress designs and fish to things we have done along the way.  It was honestly a pleasure to work with you all and my only regret is i never had more time with you.   I hope the last of my savings help you rebuild even if i am not there with.  Nov 06, 18:51:49    You transferred 90.00 credits to StripheGotti.

For those on my naughty list, well i don't hate i just cut people out of my life; hate takes energy and i just can't be assed with that.  So if you can't get in contact with me, you know why.

Will i be back? i doubt it for a while i have exams coming up for linux, cisco, network security and new horizons ahead as retraining to change into IT and looking to do more courses; with Christmas and New Year i also don't want to be sat in front of the computer.  

So for now my friends, good luck, good bye and hope you achieve your desires just working with some of you achieved mine.  Just like i made hard decisions along the way, I hope you do as they are the ones which truly challenge us.

My favourite quote on it will stay:

“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.”

Thanks for everything Boss lady. We will continue your legacy

Going to miss you Karen :'(

Will miss you Karen. Helluva Boss, good luck in your new adventures!

Rest In Peace. Resurrect In Poetry.

Karen, I never was able to work with you, but I did enjoy your charisma and the way you presented yourself. Even as Chicago and Detroit fell into dismay, I was saddened to see you as one of the first to go.

A blessing:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Slán agus beannacht leat - Goodbye, and blessings on you.

BoD you will be back mate i thank you for getting me to stay on was a blast working alongside you and man Chicago is our band of misfits it is not the same now that you are not there as we both found each other looking to each other for advice on matters.

But know this your lineage is always welcome within Chicago it has been a pleasure and Simplicity said thank you.

Cya in like three days.

Jax. Could you kindly fuck off? Kthnx. If you have nothing but negativity to add to something, just don't add?

Karen, was a pleasure having you around again and I know it will be a while before your back, i'll probably be here some way or another so just drop me a line when you return. All the best for you and the family for Christmas if I dont see you before then! 

Posti mate I was shocked when you told me who you were and even more shocked you talked me into joining a Chicago family.  I just hope people see you differently now and we won't get the ridiculous cries of BOD has gone rogue again every time it happens.

Everyone knows you are leaving for awhile over the winter months as thats when Arsenal fall apart, see you in Feb when they finally win another match.

Good luck with everything mate

Didn't belong to your crew.

Good luck to everything you do.

Ugh Karen you were awesome sister! !3 safe out there
