Injustice Times

In a recent article an anonymous writer called for a war. In this writer's opinion, there are too many gangsters in the world. A war would be ideal to solve that little problem.

Why does this writer view these gangsters as a problem? The writer states that with so many gangsters, the legits will be the victim. I wonder how the writer came to that conclusion. How are legits the victim of this situation? It's a well known fact that almost all legits have odd jobs on the side aiding gangsters in their criminal activities, and they make a nice dollar out of it too. Think about it: would morts in your town be living in Penthouses and wearing purple velvet jackets if there wasn't a crime family around to provide them with some extra work? Perhaps the writer never wondered why all those bodies are shipped around the world from the city docks.

Perhaps the writer meant being the victim of aggravated crimes. This shouldn't be a problem: gangsters are the victim of crimes as often as legit people are, and if there's more gangsters, they will take the bulk of these aggs.

The writer also makes a statement that the crime lords are overregulating things. I disagree. I'm not 100% up to date on how other cities regulate their affairs, but in Tokyo everything seems to be taken care of pretty well. A city needs regulation, otherwise things would get out of control. Now if combined with a proper set of stimulation programs, the well-known incentives, the average legit citizen can make a pretty penny.

Crime families are a vital part of a city's economy. So much even, that the economy of a city with a family is referred to as a "fully developped economy," as opposed to for example a "post-reset economy," a situation where a city lacks the massive income from drug trade because a crime family has not yet been set up shortly after a reset.

We have 2 Godfathers working together to keep things runnings, and the world should be grateful for this balance of power. Cities can develop and prosper, and anyone causing chaos and disorder is dealt with quickly. It's been a long tme since I felt this safe walking around in this world of InJustice.

A conflict last week on january 28th left multiple people dead and turned around a city. How the ancient tale of revenge led to SaintSinner leading London:

It started when Kurogane, a Paris enforcer and by many known under the nickname Skukz took out New York citizen SexRex in Paris, who appeared to be inactive. Normally not a problem, but had Kurogane, at the time under the influence of marihuana, looked further he could have discovered that SexRex was merely on vacation: he left a holiday note in his quote.
Still, the situation could have been minor, were it not that SexRex was a close friend of Wyse, Don and New York city leader. Soon enough, Wyse contacted Kurogane to get some answers about the killing. The content of the message was unclear for a while. NTO spoke of "a few words to skukz", while Kurogane said: "He threatened me, in a message, and I don't just take that shit."

Wyse let us know the following about the message: "Well I was pretty angry when I found out that SexRex was murdered. Immediatly I set out to find who did it. The evidence led back to Skukz, and I sent a very angry message to him. I called him a few names which probably made him angry. I owed Skukz a favor, and me not whacking him was the favor returned. I made it very clear in more than one message, I wasnt going to fight him over it."

Kurogane however was ready to fight and decided to move to New York, torch Wyse's apartment, and attempt to take his life. The favor was quickly returned by Wyse: "I left for NY again to resume my daily business, and all of a sudden Skukz comes at me with his hands. I had to retaliate, I pulled out my tommy and blasted him. An hour later, I hear a bullet wizz past my ear, and there is Narco looking through a scope at me."

Narco was a London Don, de facto city leader there, out to avenge Kurogane.
NTO took action: "Narco wanted revenge for Skukz, and went to whack Wyse. He (Wyse) had done nothin wrong but defend himself, so I put an end to Narco. He should have known better, being a member of the Round Table."

London

All this violence did have some positive results though. After Narco was whacked the city of London was left behind with a power vacuum. As mentioned before, Narco was de facto city leader there, but daily affairs like auth and incentives were not being taken care of. The power vacuum was an ideal situation for change. NTO recognized this situation and sent over SaintSinner to lead London and help run it. SaintSinner: "After NTO killed Narco there wasnt anyone to take over. I didnt get the why of Narco being shot... but the other day NTO just simply asked if I would take over London and help run it."

A team of 4 was formed consisting of SaintSinner, LeVan, Brisk, and lorrie, prominent London citizens. So far, it seems the solution can count on broad popular support. Lorrie: "Saintsinner is overall head, while the rest take care of the daily running of auths and things. Theres an incentive thread, new and better rules, auths regularly updated, I think we got the city behind us but it is still early days."

Blood has been shed, but it seems that the game of revenge and murder has left London in a better position. Events can have unpredictable outcomes in the world of InJustice.

Sydney has been making international headlines and is being promoted as the place to be, but this reporter investigates deeper to see a side of the city its leaders do not want you to see.

Tightening the straps of my bullet proof vest I watch out over the beautiful Sydney harbour from the safety of my hotel room. A knock on the door lets us know our guide to dark dirty streets of the Sydney underworld has arrived.

Talking to Sydney citizens it is not long before I find out the truth about the current state of Sydney, with the clean image given in the paper gives way to murderous treachery and poor leadership. One of the latest incidents is the botched handling of Selene’s murder. In the wake of the tragedy the criminal scum of the city saw opportunity. Easily compromising the intelligence on the murder, the naive leaders rashly took the life of another innocent Blind Gecko who was later cleared innocent of any involvement. Only after the protest of blindgecko innocence after his death did the leaders see through the web of lies. This is only one of Sydney’s troubles.

Recently Boo908 was horrifically murdered for being to being too enthusiastic about life in the injustice world, and being too willing to try and help this city. Through an unnamed source we were able to get copies of the crime scene photos. The murder is one of the most violent, shocking, and cold blooded kills this side of the reset.

Sydney’s troubles do not rest with just murders, talking to local shopkeepers Armed Robberies and common, leaving them poor and struggling to make ends meet. One who did not want to be named as they feared repercussion said he has lost over half a million dollars over the past week and a half.

Lastly you may be aware of the incident involving the toppling of honourable mayor Tweak. Tweak was unwilling to comment, but it is believed that proper care was not taken in appointing a commander, which led to chaos in the city during the hours following.

So this reporter asks does this really sound safe? Do citizens really want easily manipulated leaders who act rashly without consequence? Leaders who do not take the time needed to appoint the right people? I say no, and write this article to help counter the propaganda machine which is the Sydney leadership.

If you think that Crime Organisations arent watching you, you are probably wrong.

Usually we assume that these Crimes Bosses target those who seem lured by the lifestyle, those who start off in crime early in their adulthood, and those who have made mistakes and have had nowhere else to go.

These people usually find the organisations themselves, by getting too deep into petty crime on Crew turf, as opposed to being trained.

The Crime Organisations are growing in numbers worldwide at a rapid rate. Godfathers of crime Impresario and NTO each look over their lucrative organisations from the bases of New York and Tokyo respectively.

Then we move one tier down. We have Dons Croccifixio running Chicago, Narco in London, Wyse in New York, Vendetta in Sydney and Enemy in Tokyo. These Mob Dons running increasingly growing organisations, dealing in Car Theft Rings, Drug Running, and mass Robbery of Businesses and Apartments.

But it gets deeper still. After working his way up the ranks, Mob Boss Nantie has established their own crew in Tokyo as well, flying under different colours than the more established Enemy run TK crime organisation.

Finally, Paris. Paris had long found an immunity to massive crime ever since the disbanding of the PhiLLyThuG founded Broad Street Bullies, who have now gone their seperate ways.

However this has changed, with Derail, formerly a Police Commissioner and Mayor of Paris, has turned the other side, as Mob Boss, and has his eyes set on creating an organisation to rival the power of any other crew worlwide.

With so much crime brewing in wake of the recession and legit population decrease, emphasis on recruiting early and often has extended to all shores.

Just recently, and un-named Paris Army Solider has been approached by two frontrunners of rival crews from different corners of the world.

The anonymous soldier has claimed that he has been targeted for his Weapons skills, his ability to run a team of men, especially into battle, and his trustworthiness. All qualities that are invaluable to the crime organisations success.

Unconfirmed reports has it that this anonymous Armed Forces officer, is as highly ranked Senior Officer in the Paris Armed Forces, possibly as high as Lieutenant Colonel.

He claims that he has been approached by high ranking members of each the "Legion of Saints" Paris based, Derail founded Paris outfit, and the New York based, Wyse founded, "Wall Street Mafia". Each is supposedly applying intense pressure on joining their crews on exit from his Army Contract.

The claims extend to the point of which that this un-named soldier has said that Don Wyse himself has contacted him.

Just sending a warning to the fair population of the legitimate and hard working members of society. The other side of the tracks is watching, and they are very interested.

Today, Paris was lit up with a series of murders, which rocked the hearts and minds of citizens both old and new.

The first was the death of Skadi, who had disrespected several members of the Parisian Aristocracy and had made himself a marked man.

In retaliation to Skadi's death, Master-Mind was immediately taken down. As Skadi had incorrectly thought it was Master-Mind that killed them and ordered the revenge hit.

Unfortunately for Master-Mind, he was not the one who killed Skadi and was taken quite unawares whilst sitting at home.

The retaliator, Moonshine, was killed by Gibbs, who calmly explained it was him who had killed Skadi, and subsequently Moonshine for his misjudgment.

In an unrelated matter, Frew was killed, if not by the hands of, certainly under the order of Derail.

Frew had recently been promoted to dealer, and was being pressured to join the Parisian gangster outfit, which he was not intent on joining until later in his life. He told this to Derail, whose poor command of english made him think that young Frew was having an attitude with the Crew Leader. Quite simply, Frew had told him that he would join when he was ready. Derail thought he was copping an attitude and decided to play tough with the new character. Frew bit back at Derail, cursing his inability to comprehend a simple sentence.

5 minutes later, he was dead.

Justice Derailed?

Hello.

For those who dont know me, I go by the name of Boscorelli, although every now and then someone calls me SS as well (no I am not Saintsinner -_-)

Anways, for more than anything else on Injustice, I am not made famous by my awesome ability to make tank characters, being random whacked or being a pain in your arse, it is my alter ego which has given me celebrity status on IJ and on IRC.
