"Rest in peace fallen soldiers, while your city is destroyed, your souls... No, they got destroyed too. Soz"

I think my mother's soul is just fine. Thanks though.  

My take on why New Orleans participated within this war... Since some have questioned my involvement.


In the past I have never had any major problems with Philadelphia. There was the odd conversations with a few the Godfathers underbosses regarding minor issues.

However, upon returning from my vacation, it was pointed out to me several times of a change in Philly attitudes. Thus when news reached my headquarters that my Crackerjack brothers in Chicago were preparing for battle, I could not allow them to fight this battle alone. Especially with the HUGE threat that Philadelphia possessed should the Godfather CrazyNine and his families respond quickly or even decide to strike first.

Therefore, you might say I had no real reason to become involved. However, I was simply protecting my interests. This war was going to take place either way whether I was involved or not. Therefore, I either sat out and potentially see my brothers perish, thus weakening Crackerjack and my postion. Or I could stand up and be counted. Chicago and New Orleans are affilited we have several ties that unite us and we stand as one. Thus my actions within this war was purely based on the backbone of friendship trust and honour of assisting and protecting Crackerjack interests. I would have been more foolish to not be involved. This war would have had an effect on New Orleans and its standing either way should I turned a blind eye to a call for arms.

It takes very little effort to realize that SpaceMountain's reasons are truthful (ooc: browse some threads on this front page, for a quick insight), and the downfall of the imperial hawks was inevitable. CrazyNine had an excellent run in power and I am sure every single one of us can agree that in order to have lasted the amount of time he did he had made some wise decisions. but more recently the city of Philadelphia was an unpleasant place to live and visit - and he lost his focus, along with his damned head. There were obviously increasingly large personalities in the city; and as SpaceMountain noted they certainly had the firepower, but what they didn't seem to have was simple common sense. with a hit so large on his head, whether serious or not - plus, the stacking problems and obvious tensions... it was an enormous mistake for Philly to just sit there waiting to be shot. it baffles me and it is frustrating to see the amount of lifeless bodies in the streets. RIP to those respectful men that fell, and congratulations to the victors.

respectful men and women*

Spoken like a true gentleman, rublev. Salut.

you all know what, my name is nostra and i'm shivanok son, no one know him i guess, but what the fuck, he was involved as the philly soldier,he was sleeping, then one shot one kill for him, he wish he can have a few kill, but now he's in the obits with the other philly soldier and what from i see is that almost all philly soldier was sleeping when there's the time of war, can you even call that even? yeah it's not fair but then again 3 city vs 1 philly? and you're right when you said "this is the world, nothing is fair" but don't you think that philly can't handle the situation? you're wrong, philly can swallow the 3 city with just one blow if they move a little faster, but then again it's over and i know that philly caught up by unfairness and lost i can't denied that so R.I.P. Philly soldier and of course congratulation to the winner :] and i must say so what if philly lost the war? one day all of you will fall like philly to, well see ya all later and goodnight to all of you

well spoken nostra, I think you let your emotions out and with that you can move on.

I just have to express my thanks to SpaceMountain for the excitement that happen yesterday in which I was lucky that I was there. Sincerely expressing my sympathy to those who have fallen.

I'd just like to say that my Great, Great Granddaddy died in a war too.  Someone shot him right after he had shot someone else.

I'd like some sympathy too.

RIP to Great, Gready Granddaddy CleanPants.

Pshh Its Great, Great Granddaddy CleanPants Gwarble.

RIP to your ancestor Freddie

It isn't.

He was a fat knacker.

Next time, I'm sure LA will send out a proper invite and they're duel it up like the Wars of the past. That would just be brillant.....

I have already received an invite and was promised a picnic afterward.

Having to accept the invite i rejected TheDean...makes you sloppy seconds ayeyeye

Not a day goes by when I don't think about old Freddie "DirtyPants" CleanPants Senior.

People lets look at this as a chance for a new beginning not a time to argue about what was right or wrong or how it should have been done. Because whats done was done and it can't happen any other way.
