Amen

[22:27:51] Joniel Flux after moving back into syn city, wondering how long he will stay until he is chased off again. He spends the day moving in until night. As night arrives, he puts on his robe and grabs the bible, making his way towards the church in plans of sharing the word of god. Give the city some hope and share his journey he had with god when he was out of the city.

[22:33:36] Joniel Flux standing in front of the church, he opens the bible and began to read some verses to himself before finding an appropriate one to share by reading out loud. “Isaiah 40:28-31, Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” he began to preach, figuring out how he is gonna translate this verse for those who may not understand.

[22:36:55] Joniel Flux clears his throat. “In other words, believe in god to give you strength as no matter how shitty things may be. He will pick you up and guide you to victory. If may not seem like it when you are being kicked down on the ground with double the amount of people, handicapped, alone, without any back up or any more members around. Dealing with shitty caps, if you have the patience to believe in god, you have the patience to deal with the stupidity.”

[22:40:08] Joniel Flux looks back down onto the bible and flips through pages, finding a different verse. “John 15:13, Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” he reads out loud. “In other words, don’t be a dick, show up and back up your mates against enemies or snakes, whatever you may call it. Always support each other and show love!”

[22:47:22] Joniel Flux flips through a few more pages and continues his search for verses he could use. “Psalm 3:1-6, O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” “Selah” But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. “Selah” I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side. Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. “Selah” he pauses, reading it to himself next before finding a way to translate the words into English.

[22:48:53] Joniel Flux “In other words, stop being a bunch of pussies. Stop killing the city, show yourselves, show your faces, walk among the shitty streets of syn and make them active, not only when it benefits you. Stop the hide and seek games! face those enemies with courage! but only believe in our one true gods, not the gods that changes the ruling of outcomes in this city but the one true lord” he shouts.

[22:50:21] Joniel Flux continues. “those fake lords will not help you, they will not change this city, the rules will not change, stop waiting for them to change and believe in the one true god to help you guide through these hard times!”

[22:52:35] Joniel Flux stops for a minute, waiting to see if the lords of this city will strike down upon him for speaking of them before moving on to find a new verse.

[22:58:13] Joniel Flux grins and reads the next verse out loud as he continues to preach the word of god in front of the church in hope someone is at least listening from their windows. “Romans 12:21, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” allowing a minute of silence to go by before translating.

[23:01:26] Joniel Flux “In other words, let the evil of this city be themselves. Everybody plays a part, some people play the part of being dicks and ruining the fun of others, finding ways to control every little thing but do not let them kick you down, we all know who are the these evil dicks, it is not a secret but you still remain in this city whether or not is hiding behind closed doors with your tents and campfires for a reason. Overcome this evil by being yourselves and finding other ways to have fun or else you are simply wasting your time camping behind doors. Camp fires belong outside!”

[23:03:18] ΜΘЅΣЅ (damian1977) suddenly feels the need to look up and say, ” Amen! ”

[23:03:43] KaydenD Resident: me too.. that was awsome.. Amen bro

[23:05:08] Sᴀʀɪᴇʟ MᴀᴄKᴇɴɴᴀɢᴛʜ (brightline): scratches his gooch and rolls over to go back to bed.

[23:05:38] Joniel Flux decides that was his last verse for the day before he is shot or worse, removed by the evil government of this city.

Viva La Vendetta

The last living gang started in 2014; La Vendetta; went the way of Omerta and Diabolous Aquilae in 2015; dead. DA couldn’t get far with inactive bosses; while Omerta had active bosses and strength; the gang didn’t have direction after alliances. What about La Vendetta? Where did they go wrong? What can we learn from their demise?

Diabolous Aquilae paying La Vendetta a visit

 La Vendetta was founded by bosses Alexandria and Michael Hatch; better known as Vincenzo. The starting roster consisted of the Cipriani family; a mafia family that came together inside Omerta. Shortly after formation Keysha, Ariana followed and former Sinner Anna joined to become a boss and bring her brother Fredo in. Their first original recruits; Sydelle and Blake got their start in Syn.

Like the SCPD; La Vendetta didn’t take part in a alliance during alliances. Unlike the SCPD; who morale dropped and members left out of boredom during alliances; La Vendetta was growing. Until Anna left and Fredo followed; morale plummeted and La Vendetta entered a slump. The slump; being La Vendetta darkest; lasted over a month. Vicenzo became inactive; leaving Alexandria along with Sydelle and Blake as the only active vendetta members for a while

Roleplay with La Vendetta usually involved nudity

La Vendetta gained hope when both Diabolous Aquilae and Omerta Syndicate died; creating a big pool of free agents. Unfortunately the timing of Mala Noche formation hexed La Vendetta from members seeking an alternative to the drama motivated war of Vipers vs Sinners. During this period; the very inactive Hyst joined and became a Vendetta boss. Potential combat lead Jett and Sea joined. Left with small piece of free agent pool; Alexandria did role-plays with other gangs and remained positive. Roleplay is vital in keeping members active and meeting potential recruits. In a city corrupted by 3 line role-play for combat; La Vendetta never became the mafia that had any influence; LV remained a small sideshow.

Below is the ultimate rating chart history for La Vendetta; from start to end. The ultimate rating is a algorithm used in the underground to rate how good a gang is doing. The ultimate rating chart gives a good visual of the ups, downs, struggles and triumphs a gang experiences. We noted events that happened as possible reasons for momentum shifts.

The chart reveals La Vendetta was stuck in a range. When it got close to breaking it; members gave up and left. When a range is too strong to break; the gang will eventually break. The underground believes LV failed because of the environment. Syn environment of today does not support gangs ran by newer members. Such gangs; like La Vendetta; will never take off and continue to fail. Future new gangs will require experienced members of over 2 years to have any success. Mala Noche; whose ultimate rating is steadily climbing; is setting a good case study of this.

But can this change? The underground believes if there was a limit on gangs; the smaller ones will benefit better in two ways. First; they can accept more free agents then a larger gang. Second; they will benefit again if larger gangs cut members to make room. But the likelihood of creating any balance between gang numbers is as good as that guy. You know what guy. Yeah that guy getting permabanned. This means larger; older gangs will continue to grow stronger and profit taking members smaller; newer gangs have trained.

Rare Panther sighting

La Vendetta wasn’t a lost cause. Alexandria brings her experience as a boss to Mala Noche; after Kiers has stepped down to allow her. Alexandria has also brought all of her people to help beef up Mala Noche and allowed LV HQ to become Mala’s new HQ. The number of gangs left is now down to four. The underground believes this number should become three given the current state. On paper; with members of La Vendetta merged into Mala Noche; they are capable of pushing the inconsistent Sinners into the third spot. But can members of Mala Noche pull it off? Will they dissolve prematurely like Omerta? The underground will be watching.
