For the players that make the first "in-game" trade online between two different gaming groups, I award 30 Respect each. Post in this thread with GM approval.

Mr. D.

This is a bump. Maybe now that we got some more people in here, a trade can happen, huh?

Mr. D.

Alexi and I would like to formalize our deal. He will add DVD rentals to his pawn shop business and I will supply them at a reduced cost, since I have access to the duplicating equipment. This deal should improve both our profits!

My GM is Tony... Not sure who has to approve Alexi's side of the deal..

I talked to my GM Joe and he said its all good so My GM is cool...."shakes hands with Angelita"...I think this will beenfit both of us...yes?...Now we drink

Approved. Nice job.

Mr D.

No one can claim I swooped this one! It's been up for 2 months!

Enough Chit Chat Now we celebrate our new deal with Vodka and music yes? "Starts chugging bottle of Vodka"

Um, I prefer my vodka in a shotglass...

Ho, ho, ho.

Mr. D. was very pleased with all the business this year, so he has a special envelope for anyone that posts in this thread. (Take 1 Wealth point.) But, if yer a player, ya gotta give up a 1 paragraph synopsis of yer current schemes and operations. If yer a GM, a 1 paragraph synopsis of yer campaign. Current families and whatnot.

Merry Christmas!

Frankie Viola for Mr. D.

Well, Lets see how I can sum up all the world that is happening here in Chi-town's New Milan. Besides our drastic variaty of players, everything from a glove stuck boxer who cant get enough roughing things up, to our gun toating wisegirl who works in Gino's Silken Covers. We got the boss's cousin who is know as the fuse for his temper and what he likes to play with. Ohh and we cant forget our up and coming brothel owner and ladies man, the boss's nephiew. Then we cant forget his brother "Glue" who probly still eats it but is perhaps one of our best shots and a martial artist to boot, yet still gets lost on his way back from McD's. Some of our wiseguys and gals who are all ready to play still are waiting to show, and soon they are all about to get some very interesting times, after which I will post the mission for all to see and fear.

At this point, I'm no longer giving away the surprise to our players, so...
The crew's been havin' some trouble with 105's being way farther south than they should be. Now, throw a match the size of one of'em beatin' and rapin' a capo's sister onto that fuel and you've got yourself a turfwar and vendetta all rolled into one. To kick off this Category 6 Shitstorm named Gino, the crew jacked a pimped out 105 car from their turf, made some modifications and used it to add some impromptu air-conditioning to some of the Russians and their buildings before racing back to 105 turf with several carloads of Russians in tow. When the chase finally ended in front of a 105 capo's hangout, it was an all out war until the crashed 105 car which was loaded with C4 was detonated levelling a one block radius. The plan is to pickup the pieces after the 105's and Vodka Mob thin each other's ranks. Okay, there's more to it than that, but the rest is still a surprise.

The first player that gets someone new to post in this forum gains 25 Respect points. The poster gets 5.

A rather flashy BMW (convertible, of course) pulls up outside the cafe, the occupant heading into the cafe, straight past the tables and up to the counter. Dropping a $20 on the register, he leans on one elbow and pulls off his (expensive looking) shades.

"Hey, my very good friend Mr. One-Arm Paulie sent me in here to pick up a Mocha Cappucino. Gimme two."

This cup is on me.

Mr. D

A rough looking guy walks up to the cafe, wearing overalls and a flannel shirt. He walks into the cafe and looks around for someone who owns the shop.

"Gino Dartino, my boss asked me to stop by and say hello and thank you for giving me the tools for creating my works of art."
