Last night was a tragedy, yes. We saw the demise of one of the leaders of the Six Cities, and at the hands of one of his own trusted advisors as well. As I stated before, often times 'tragedy' is the only word to describe such a situation. Rest in peace, TylerDurden and the Durden Juggernaut. All eloquence really fails me at this moment, so excuse the blunt manner with which I am about to speak. A Right Hand man takes the brunt of many, many things in our world. He or she not only carries the weight of the family, but in the worst of times must carry the weight of the Boss themselves as well. Understandably being 'bold' is one of the most prestigious jobs our world has seen, but it is also one of the hardest. The only other position that rivals such is that of the 'Underboss'. These men and women were appointed to wear that snazzy suit because of the trust we have in each and every one of them. They need to be able to congratulate us when the sailing is smooth and help us to maintain a functional family unit. Yet... they also need to have the strength inside themselves to tell us when we're wrong. The strength to tell us when we need a change, or when our policies or actions just aren't cutting it. By no means am I trying to disrespect the man who fell dead but hours ago. -AphoticProphet-, through the actions he took last night, was doing what he expressed to us other Crew Leaders as 'protecting the well-being of the family'- something we all may sympathize with. Every good leader knows they are nothing without their crew; if there is no one to follow, why are you leading? It seems- through observational stand points only- that many of the Juggernaut felt Aphotic could make up for what they were lacking in a family and in a leader. The other leaders of the remaining cities and I have spoken, coming to an agreement. A family dispute is a family dispute, and in no way are we to interfere. AP was forward with his intentions and has not strayed from his original plan one ounce by involving or attacking our families, and therefore we see no reason for him to disband. He merely has done as all Right Hands have to do in the worst of times, and let their Boss know that what they were doing just wasn't enough. In regards to Los Angeles... the other leaders and I want to welcome -AphoticProphet-. When a leader has fallen the Right Hand Man always steps up to take over and take care of the family. This situation is no different, even if bloodshed was involved. Best of luck to LA- may you continue to forge and strengthen those family bonds that have brought you to this point. |

Mr McTavish thanks for the statement. For me the topic is now closed and I am getting back to what's important, making money for my family. |

| I'd just like to inform the public that Mr. McTavish, and indeed -AphoticProphet-, have the full support of New York. | |

Personally, I was hoping to hear more people complain. I actually make my living stomping out the dreams of others and then drinking it in a finely pureed form. Most people hate the sound of an incessant whine, but for some reason it just appeals to me when someone else is not getting their way. *McHugh grumbles.* |

| Molotov does that mean you love how you are whining right now or is it only when other people do it? | |

| Touche, smizz. I suppose I AM whining that more people aren't whining. Well that is certainly an interesting turnabout. | |

Oh Molotov, only you can create such a paradox. How does he do it, folks? And thank you, Octavius, for representing New York and lending your support to this matter. It was a difficult decision for all of us leaders to come to, but in essence we came to the conclusion that the business conducted in Los Angeles will stay within Los Angeles borders. |
