Well I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

As many have seen, ol' Loony Lovegood went and shot herself in the face after sending out a telegram to everyone telling them to pay me money to "get their spot."

Usually I wouldn't bother commenting, it isn't worthy of my time but I feel like I need to clear up a few things for some of you retards that apparently don't care to listen.

Loony approached me recently about expanding her organisation, I had noted recently that there were a few things I was concerned about, some of them I informed her of, others I was gathering evidence about before confronting her on. I didn't decline her request to expand but I didn't approve it either, I simply asked how she was finding things.

She responded with a comparison between herself and other LA leaders and how certain ones were less active than her, clearly her panties were in a twist and I'd have usually ignored this but I felt it was worthwhile mentioning that some leaders had gained enough favour previously to expand before then slowing in their progress somewhat, I was in talks with these leaders and was aware of the situation. I also explained that the leader in question had tributed money as well as communicated well with me, which eventually lead to their blessing for an expansion.

After this, Loony went quiet. Apparently she took this to mean you needed to tribute in order to expand and that seems to have shown in her last telegram. Sadly, it seems she just didn't read the flyer that Lucius' guys had handed out on the different ways to earn favour.

I'll also remind people that you don't automatically gain expansions for not being shit. We will see more of these sorts of knee-jerk, embarrassing and most likely menstrual decisions if people don't go above and beyond. Seriously, don't expect to be offered to expand you're organisation if all you are doing is surviving and filling a crew. It's not enough. Read the fucking flyer and think about what else you can do to impress us. If I'm yet to give you the nod for expansion maybe there are things on the flyer that you're yet to do, or things that you've done that may be frowned upon that might be holding you back. It's not fucking hard and I'm not sure we can dumb it down any further than we have done.

I feel sorry for Loony's members if I'm honest, she's completely disregarded them in her decision to spit her dummy out and if she doesn't give a fuck about them, then neither do I. If she had gone about this in a different way I may have reached out a hand to ensure their protection, so any deaths we see are on her and I hope her daughter witnesses that.

Lord Fitz - The Slothfather.

I don't really take issue with much of what you said in your street speech, FitzChivalry. I have no knowledge of the operations of Miss Lovegood and what she did/didn't do, but the list of ways to earn favor seems pretty clear.

The only thing I feel compelled to say is to strongly disagree with your phrase "most likely menstrual decisions". Women have had the right to vote for less than twenty years now, and this reeks of the same ignorance that led to the denial of this right for generations.

Every time a woman does something rash, it gets chalked up to her reproductive organs. Men do idiotic things because of their dicks every day; perhaps they comment on the menstrual cycle because it actually has some sort of organization, rather than the constant rush of stupidity that results from men thinking with their cocks.

Sometimes, a woman can simply do something stupid- just like men. Always assuming a menstruation related reason underestimates women's capacities for both rational objectivity and good old fashioned stupidity. When other male CLs have recently fucked up, nobody said "Well... it must have been his dick, right?"

Just my two cents.

Woah!!

Menstruation is now a reason to not protect a crew you gave auth to set up?

Being a female and having periods is a reason to discredit them? You were doing ok until you brought up menstruation Sir....it's a weak argument and pretty low really for a GodFather.

An ambitious female here is 'on the blob' but a male is not?

I have respected many of your speeches Fitz, this one is just embarrassing really.....or maybe I am just about to have my period....who knows...

...and panties ...because you have to be so artful to base an argument on the state of them, am i right?

buys panties immediately....

I second this suggestion.

I third it....

Oh sorry please discount as I might be in my 3 days pre period. I apologise...

Putting aside all the unnecessary reasons, I honestly can't think that Godfather FitzChivalry meant any disrespect towards the female gender. I mean otherwise surely it would be an all boys club, right? Perhaps it was his way for explaining her momentary lapse into what could be viewed as stupidity. I'm just guessing though, but I don't see a reason to really get into a huff about it.

So putting all that aside, clearly he did not feel the need to protect a family that the family head had no concern for in their own actions. Simple enough and fair enough I think.  It was nice enough for him to come out here and explain what had happened. I appreciate the time taken for bringing this speech to the rest of us lurking around the streets.

I suggest we have a quiet street to discuss all women - so we all know the period diary for all female people, I further suggest that anything they say or do in the in 3 days leading up to their period and the first 3 days of their period are ignored.

Maybe the God's could block any action / comment from these females during mensturation to help then men deal more effectively with mafia life...

You raise an excellent point Kathryn. It's one I couldn't agree with more. We need to call out more idiots on the dick shit. I'm glad you raised it. *Cringes realizing the terrible connotations there, but moves on hoping nobody else noticed*

I'm pretty sure I heard a little more than I was comfortable with dick talk around the deaths of Anteros, Buttercup, and Westley to be honest. Perhaps far too much and yet nearly not enough if we're being accurate here. There is so much dick shit on these shores it isn't even funny. Perhaps that's the problem? If we start calling out dudes on their dick shit we might have no time for anything else. It could become a full-time job.

This isn't anything new, sadly. Yes, we're all modern sitting here in the 30's looking back on history, but this shit has been happening for generations and sadly I fear it might for many years to come. Dudes cross swords, get a little inferiority complex going on and next thing all hell breaks loose. We could look at recent comments around the deaths of Buttercup and Westley, back a touch to the death of Anteros or going back to the history books for the legendary clash of Lucretia and Cryptic. GRHS.

Sword fighting, measuring contests and over compensation appear to be major issues in this thing of ours.

I hope we may find a champion. A champion that raises this issue to new heights. Raises it to levels and heights never before seen. Raises it higher than anyone every thought possible and then... finally... crushes it mercilessly with the malice it deserves so it never again raises its ugly head. *Fights tremendously to hold back a smile when discussing such a serious topic* There's too much damn dick shit in this world, we need to start exposing it to the cold, harsh light of day.

Wanders off to pen a speech about the three sorts of people living in this thing of ours. The dicks, the pussies and the assholes. He just hopes the assholes don't get everyone covered in shit before he has had time to call them out on their shit. 

changes her sanitary towel and has a small emotional break down whilst seeking the arms and cock of a man that will make things all alright again...

For the record, I believe that Godfather Fitzchivalry is considerably less sexist than the vast majority of men. After all, he's given both Angy and myself the opportunity to run our own operations in Las Vegas. My issue was with a particular phrase; I'm pretty sure Vassar would demand my diploma back if I let that one go without commenting on it.

TsuDhoNimh, perhaps I should have paid more attention, but I didn't recall any direct links of "and thus their penis was their downfall" for male CLs who caught a bullet, as opposed to the more indirect dick measuring contest metaphor. I wish you luck in your quest. 

In at least some cases which have happened over the years, it most certainly has been the cause and the trigger. In others, it has been more indirect. Indirect as in pictures of penises rather than the penises themselves. Though, often leading to equally devastating results.

Never fear Kathryn. Hopefully, another new champion shall rise from the ashes and take on the noble cause. I wonder if it will be the champion we need? Or just the champion we deserve? I'm not sure I want to meet the latter if I'm honest.

Perhaps Eight_Fell_Over shall pick herself up, dust herself off and take all of those dicks in hand? 

Hopefully, another new champion shall rise from the ashes and take on the noble cause. I wonder if it will be the champion we need? Or just the champion we deserve? I'm not sure I want to meet the latter if I'm honest.

Term was championed in Chicago, used in Gotham from what I was told.

Either way, y'all should come to Chicago and have the best weiners in za country! Maybe the Cubs might win something!?!?  

As always...dinner and game tkts on me! 

I have to say, myself and my bloodline have had the honor of working with or for multiple different women over the course of our time on these shores and I can't say I have ever noticed any of them being influenced by their mentrual cycle - hell, I couldn't even tell you when they are. 

Now, alcohol...well let me tell you about this one time Kathryn got up and made a speech at Fire & Ice in LV . . . actually, come to think of how that night ended for the gentleman that caused the speech maybe I shouldn't tell that story. 

Am I the only poodle around here who appreciates a good bit of old fashioned obnoxious chauvinism from the upper echelons of society?

Brant clears his throat, oh how long it's been since he or his kin spoke their mind in these streets.

"I feel as if the purpose of this speech has gone unheard. Of course, one can simply view it as an explanation of Luna's actions, with questionable wording. However, one should not simply look over the full lesson learned from these actions, no matter how you feel about the wording chosen to relay the story.

I'd like to point out that the CLs in the annexed cities must look at this as an example of how to not behave. Judging by the fact that Luna was not allowed to expand at any point in time during her long-life span, I take it she had not gained much, if any, favor with her superiors in LV. Her chief complaint being something about having to buy your spot.

Let us not forget what every auth of an official city must do to gain the privilege to don their own patches/banners/family. Most go through months of building up a trusting foundation, kicking up every spare piece of change they can find, and impressing their dons at every corner. In comparison, the annexed city CLs were simply the first to ask in most cases. Do not think for a second that you can skip over the trials and tribulations that come before your typical auth just because you are in an annexed city.

If the issue truly was something along the lines of money, then you do not belong in an annexed city. Return back to the flagship cities and try to remember how difficult it truly is to attain power. "

As Caesar listens to the conversation, his the cogs in his head turn faster, until something slides into place with the beautiful noise a cash register makes. Stepping forth suavely, he turns to address the audience. "Since the position for FitzChivalry's bank has already been claimed, I will be acting as the Bank Teller for this favour extortion operation. Anyone wishing to make a donation is encouraged to not take any drastic actions, and to simply forward me their donations for Lord Fitz. The donations will be processed for your average bureaucratic time periods before being kicked up to the bank, and then to the Godfather himself." 

He takes off his hat and holds it forward for the cash flows to begin......

This sounds like a pure case of dictatorship where the cobwebs are spinning at full speed as of late. Much needed house cleaning is in order but this market here don't stand a chance with a handful of Hitlers running things. Much respect to Lovegood. RIP

You know, as good of a read as this one was, I love how the people are putting emphasis on being offended by Godfather Fitz for mentioning menstruation, whereas the mental deficiency of retardation just goes right by them. If you ask me, if you're offended by one thing and not the other while they're both equally of, "Bad taste" (Only bad taste if you get easily offended like the two first replies) then you're just as much of an asshole as what you claim Godfather Fitz to be.

Anyways, cheers. 

Signed, 

Honesty
