The Mafia Gazette 05th Mar Issue 77 Started by: Mother on: Mar 05, '03 16:01 JACK THE RIPPER STRIKES AGAIN A letter was received at the Gazette offices in the early hours of Tuesday morning from the person calling himself Jack the Ripper. In it he stated that during the outbreak of tONYBitis that hit our community, he was at work, and brutally murdered a crew leader. This is as yet unconfirmed, as there is no record of a crew boss dying during the outbreak. If anyone has information on this, can they please contact the newspaper or the local police station? The letter that arrived by e-mail also contained several threats against crew bosses and particularly against the Gazette after it reported the finding of his cache of bodies. The letter was written in red ink and reads as follows: Dear Boss I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right track. I am down on crew bosses and I shan’t quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I got the boss in the middle of the tONYBitis outbreak. How can they catch me now. I may even have one of you what writes about me too, since you found where I hides them. I love my work and want to do it again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I can’t use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha. The next job I do I shall clip the lady’s ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out straight. My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance. Good Luck. Yours truly Jack the Ripper The Gazette team and the Police are working in conjunction to try and catch this killer before he kills another innocent victim, or worse, another crew boss, if he has already killed one. The public are also asked to keep a special eye out for this person and to report any suspicious characters to Mother at the Gazette offices. If this killer is to be found, information will be needed to enable the police to catch him. Several people claiming to be Jack the Ripper have walked openly in our streets, wearing their claim like a name badge, perhaps to gain some fame or notoriety, or purely to look like seasoned killers. People carrying this name have not lived for very long, so it is strongly suggested that no one copycats the killer. The killings he has done will not have any witnesses, as he claims he has found a way to completely hide his crimes from the whole of society. The Administration have ascertained that they do not have any paperwork pertaining to the crew boss death during the tONYBitis outbreak, and unless it is proved that he did not kill the crewleader, as he claimed, we can only presume that he has found a way to hide from even the most searching eyes. This makes him far more dangerous and even more difficult to spot. We would like to appeal to the public for help in apprehending this person. Any information on this case, please report it to Mother at the newspaper office. The sooner this assailant is caught, the sooner we can all sleep a little bit sounder in our beds. _______________________ RUN, RUN YOU IDIOTS By jgkony The message is clear Judgement day is coming to all who dirty our beloved street. Yesterday afternoon a group led by the esteemed _Justino_ released a prepared statement to the press outlining what they see as the steps necessary to ensure the preservation of the street. The group, which was won widespread support, calls for the main littering offenders to be disposed of as a public service. Amongst those to applaud the ideals of the group was the Gazettes very own Mother, who can often be seen out in the street, brush in hand sweeping away, losing valuable writing time. I was lucky as Justino took time out of his busy cleaning schedule to talk to me about this group. At the moment the group is composed of a core of roughly ten members of varying ranks and abilities with seemingly no hierarchy, with Justino acting as a spokesperson. Justino declined to release the names of anyone in the group to protect their security and to ensure against retaliation. Justino also made sure to stress that this was a war only against a certain type of individual “Well, its main purpose is to send a message, that being stupid will not be tolerated”, “it's meant to return the respect, and do that by showing how serious people are about keeping the streets clean”. To help newbies Justino and the group have issued a set of guidelines in the form of posters, which have been distributed throughout the street and can be found at the following address http://www.mafia.org/comm/streetshow.php?ID=214623 Justino was also kind enough to give us the name of what is believed to be the first victim of the revolution. Little known gangster AL_Neri was seen out in the streets yesterday afternoon acting erratically. Many at first believed him to be drunk or just a little bit crazy with all the killing of late. Things soon took a turn for the worse as a condition similar to tourettes syndrome cut in, many heard him shouting random words and drooling like a rabid dog. A doctor who wished to remain anonymous diagnosed the condition as RSI or RomperStomperItis, named after the person who first showed signs of this contagious disorder. Our medical friend also suggested that any person who believes they may be showing the warning signs of the condition should consult DR FAQ ASAP. _______________________ PRODUCT/ORGANISATION PROMOTION AND ENDORSEMENT Please note, neither the Gazette, the writers nor Mother have given their consent to have any product or organisation within the community permission to claim endorsement unless specifically stated by Mother herself in the product or organisation’s thread. On two separate occasions, one organisation and one newsletter production have claimed the endorsement of Mother. Neither of these people had permission to use Mother’s name in order to further their product. In one instance, it was claimed that Mother had lied to someone, which in itself was a blatant untruth told, either intentionally or unintentionally to libel the name of the Editor in Chief of the Gazette. This will not be tolerated under any circumstances. The second instance was a newsletter claiming to have the backing of the Mafia Gazette, where no such backing exists. The Gazette does not sponsor any other newsletter or newspaper within the community. When questioned about the upcoming newsletter by the author, Wraith, Mother’s only comment was that it would be hard work. This does not give the author the right to claim sponsorship of the Gazette. The Gazette in no way wishes to dissuade other newspapers or newsletters from bringing the news into the community, but it will not sponsor, promote or advertise any of these newspapers or newsletters within its pages. _______________________ INTERVIEW CORNER By: Steve_O I open my jacket Pocket and take out my wallet. My last $100 I hand it over to the Bouncer at the door of the Casino. I walk over to the table The Gambler is sitting on. As I turn on my Tape Recorder The Gambler look’s around and call’s me over. I sit down next to him I feal uncomftable doing an interview here the people around the table are eyeing me like a Hawk. The Gambler walks towards the door I follow. We step onto the cold streets of Las Vegas. It’s just gone Midnight and the interview still hasn’t started. So The Gambler said smiling what did you want to talk about. I took the notebook out of my pocket where I had scribbled down the question’s on the plane over here. Inoticed In big letters I had wrote Protector this was a subjct on y mind since the crew leader was being accused of random wackings and trying to kill crew leader’s to get to the top. I cleared my throat and said Gambler as you know there have been a lot of Wacking’s happening at the moment and one the biggest names accused was Protector it was all over the Street what do you think on this. The Gambler locked schocked even stunned he then just burst out. I think the accusations are ridiculous. I was previously a member of Protectors crew and can tell you first hand that he is a good man and great leader, I'm certain he had nothing to do with these wackings. I could tell that The Gambler thought highly of Protetcor so I thought it was best to steer away from the subject. As we walked down the streets of Las Vegas There was a jail break going on. Which made me think. I lit a Cigar and took along drag. Then something popped into my head which I had not wrote down. Gambler Did you find it hard work getting up to Crew Leader in these time’s random of wacking’s not many people these day’s make it to Goomba let alone Earner. Was It hard work. The Gambler stopped walking for a miniute he looked as if he was thinking hard about this question. He then looked into my eyes and replied. I did find it hard climbing the ranks, but it's like everything, if you put your heart into it you'll eventually get there! I don't think I had any real strategy to survive the random wackings, I guess I was just lucky enough to always escape unharmed I then had one last question in mind there was a famous Crew Leader walking across the Street and this gave me the idea for my second question. Gambler What do you think of your fellow Crew Leaders. He smiled and looked into the sky. I've found in my short time as a crew leader, that all my fellow leaders have treated me with respect, and I equally have to admire how they have climbed to this level and are all doing a great job with the day to day running of their crews. I looked down at my Watch and saw it was 2 in the morning. I said my goodbye’s to Gambler and jumped onto the bus as I sat in the Back Row I turned around and watched The Gambler Disaper into another Casino.

If anyone has any requests for articles from the past that they would like to see reprinted, mobmail Mother with your request. Today’s article, reprinted by special request, comes from : The Mafia Gazzette 14th Nov Issue 28 Started by: Tallulah- on: Nov 14, '02 09:05 COMMISSION MEMBER KILLS NEW BOSS Arguments have broken out in the streets today concerning Mr Tripod’s killing of Mr Loco. Mr Tripod, one of the city commissioners, himself proclaimed the killing in the streets shortly after the deed was done. Mr Tripod’s reason for killing was the fact that Mr Loco was setting up a crew in the city that Mr Tripod is a peace commissioner for. Mr Tripod apparently messaged Mr Loco twice before killing him as he emerged from his new Headquarters. Mr Loco’s son has publicly argued that it was an unjust killing on Mr Tripod’s part as he says his deceased father did not receive any notes from Mr Tripod that he was aware of. Mr Loco had not long set up his new headquarters when the killing happened. Some people are arguing that Mr Loco was not given enough time to respond to Mr Tripod’s missives before he was killed out of hand by someone who is supposed to promote peace and discussions rather than dealing out instant death. Others have supported Mr Tripod’s actions, saying he was within his rights to remove someone without having to ask for an explanation. Once again the commission has been dragged into a situation which is making people start to wonder if the commission is really about peace or if it is only about power. If it is the latter, then all pretences of peace must be dropped and the powerplay revealed. If however the commission still supports peace, what will the views of the other commissioners be on todays actions by one of it’s members? The commission must also have it’s attention drawn to the wide issue of the killing of unsponsored people. It has come to the attention of a few that there seems to be one or two bosses and their crews who are not falling in line with the aims that the commission has publicly declared. It would appear that to certain crews and bosses, the killing of unsponsored people is not so unsavoury as the general mood on the street would imply. It looks more like they relish in the fact that they are wiping unsponsored people off the streets without giving them a chance to prove themselves as useful, talented or worthwhile members of our community. People must start asking questions of their commission. What is it really there for? Is enough being done to promote the peace that they are supposedly there to bring about? Nothing has been seen to be done publicly by the commission since it’s inaugural meeting nearly two weeks ago. It would be perfectly within anyones rights as a citizen of this community to demand that the commission either publicly show that it has been working for you, the people on the streets, or to admit that they have been inactive. Either way, the people of the 5 cities have a right to know what they are getting, rather than just being informed of the power that the commissioners are wielding. _______________________ _______________________ DAILY PRIZE QUIZ Want to win yourself $25,000?

They was good honest, hard workin gansters who never disrespected no-one. They never wacked without a reason and busted people outta the joint just for the hell of it. They lent money to the less fortunite and bought many a round at McLains bar. But now I am the last one of the Spoons and Shoes familys. I now wish to pay my respects to those men. RIP Johnny_two_shoes who died in the Massacre. RIP Pedro_two_shoes who was also taken on that sad day. Unfortunitly he had a less dignifed demise. He choked to death on his mistress's tounge. RIP Pedro_six_spoons who was wacked in his sleep just two days later. RIP Spoons who was taken by the administration on charges of Dupedom. RIP Johnny_two_shoes(jr) who was gunned down by the admin for attempting to free Spoons with Leroy_brown. In the commotion Spoons got free but died in a freak toilet seat accident minutes later. I believe he would be proud to have left the world on the john just like Elvis. RIP Leroy_brown who while on the run from the Admin choked to death on your sisters thong in a seeding motel in LA. Well the family money was seazed by The Administration due to the 'Alleged' duping. So I was left with a choice, to go down the road of my pappy and kin and most likely wind up dead just when it was getting fun....or to quit the mob and go into politics, its pretty much the same thing really. I might come back to the family business when things improve, when theres a better calibre of gangster. I'm just not sure the people get the whole 'organized' crime thing right now. I wish you all a long and prosperous career. From Bobby_spoons My loved one and I are strolling along, each of us taking a much needed break from our hectic lives. We stop in at the local bakery. He was craving a bismark with chocolate glaze and I was craving a chocolate on chocolate donut. We each got our much needed coffee as well and headed across the street to stroll in the park. Walking the winding paths, we are in our own little world. From behind a tree jumped a man wearing dark clothing and a face mask. He whips out an uzi and starts to spray us with bullets. Dannik, my loved one, steps in front of me while shoving me to the ground. He gets riddled with bullets, his lifeless body falling on top me, protecting me from the shooter. The shooter turns tail and runs away. Screaming, tears running down my face, I get up in a daze. Kissing him one final time on the lips Rest In Peace Dannik From SteelDawn @+@+@+@+@+@+@+@+@ If you wish your RIP for your loved one or departed friend to appear in the paper, please send your RIP to MKM at the Gazette office before 7am on the day of publication. _______________________ Read THE MAFIA GAZETTE For All The News That Is News E+OE Mobmail: Mother irc office: #newsroom
