Being evil has nothing to do with it, but you do wish to join, you will need 100 intelligent posts, consisting one more than one line each post, they all must have proper sentence structure and grammar as well.

I suppose a vet will check you out when the time is right and let you know if you can join or not.

I mean, I remember when I would have to read through pages of posts to find one I had left earlier that day and now, I can scroll up and see things I posted a while ago, multiple things at that. :/

But, part of me thinks this is for the better. There's little or no drama anymore, and it's sort of refreshing to be in here relaxing. When I first joined, there was this huge controversy about... something. I don't really care anymore, but in the end, we had this huge mega-vote on who should be the newest capo (it carried more weight then, I'm noticing... :P), and one person tried to get a Retrogade member in... it was some crazy stuff.

Wow, I don't even remember who was last made capo here to be honest with you. I think there may be some more made sometime soon if the old ones don't return but thats not my call at all and will be a decision to be made by Ghost if anyone. :P

I know what you mean though with it being more relaxed here, I remember when I could rarely even multi-quote posts here since people were so into having first replies and all that, those times seem to be going downhill now though and I honestly don't know it will ever be like that again here. :/

But this... this is so much better. xD

It is really, but I do miss not having some of the older members here, and its pretty bad when theres only a very few new good personalities coming in recently. :/

Haha, I remember those times too. Sometimes one would have to make multiple posts to even be noticed since some would focus only on one conversation and it seems as if everything else said was just pushed between the cracks. :P

Haha... (raises hand). I know that when I started talking to someone on here, I would only respond to them or anyone else that made a comment about something I wrote -- because if I tried to talk to more, I'd fall too many pages far behind and then... yeah. :P

Haha, I know exactly how that is. I wouldn't say anything to anyone unless they directed something towards me or made a reference to something I could relate to. Hell, I remember when I had to just the PM system and AIM to talk to some people just because I got confused at times when I tried talking to them here. XD

Sadly, I can't remember that at all, and I also remember a story of some Mafia member that was an expert at blades, was dancing, and killed someone in the middle of the dance by cutting them up. I really miss some of those stories and I guess I could go back in the thread and find them but does anyone know if the stories were archived on the Mafia site? Also, can someone send me the link (PM preferred since it will keep out unwanteds) to the site. Thanks in advance.

Our main site is the FAQ site for who's in charge of what and such. It's listed in Boris signature (seen here). Strauss said about five pages back that he was making an archive site -- the link I put down in my last post wasn't where he linked to, but where the archive now re-directs to. :/

Oh ok, thanks for the link though. I had it a while ago but I was going to move and in the process, lots of things got deleted off my computer.. in the end though, I didn't move and well.. its a long story.. basically to make it short, girl living with me, going great, decide we wanna move somewhere else, this isn't my computer so we take some stuff and delete the rest, it doesn't end up working out, and in the end.. I loss lots of shit that I wish I had back. :(

And one thing, what the fuck is Yuku and why won't my login work anymore!?

When I looked at it earlier today, the host server said it was upgrading to Yuku forums or something. No idea what that means.

Heh, neither do I, hopefully someone will be able to tell us whats going on.

NOMAD, my good man!
Welcome back, welcome back. I reckon you're just what the doctor ordered 'round here. Nice short one first up too (story that is).
Your desk has been left (by and large) as you left it. You are welcome yo your old position back if you want and are going to be active, I'll run it by the capos if you are keen.

And on legal matters, I have a further announcement: Snype has been appointed Attorney (Narcotics), god love him. If the site is gonne be updated, this needs to go in to.

it should be fixed now. they did an upgrade and needed me to log in. if it doesn't work, then you might need to make a username, but that would defeat the entire purpose of the archive. i swear to god, if this thing becomes too much of a hassle and you guys can't just read the stories, then i'm going to quit making the archive.

The last made Capo was Hitman. As of now the Capo's are still Hitman, Brit (TREM), and me. Brit still comes around alot so he's not that inactive. All in all things are runnin good cause everyone helps out with new members. Sometimes even Ghost and Strauss step in. Also there's been news about Fragment coming back on a new account so everyone get ready to beat him with a stick when he's revealed.

"Listen to me, please, just listen to me. I can't do this. I CAN'T DO THIS! They'll kill me if they find out, and trust me, they'll find out. I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it..."

The room was cold, bare. It was 19 degrees outside and snowing but the A/C machine was turned on at full blast. On the long table the cops had set down all the tools a Mafia informant needed and displayed them like a museum exhibition: tape recorders, mikes, video cameras smaller than a button. To Angry-Shoe, they were torturing devices. Sergeant Brannigan paced the room one more time before lunging at Angry-Shoe and pulling him by the collar, until their faces were so close to each other Angry-Shoe could count the beads of sweat running down the cop's face.

"Listen, you small time piece of shit motherfucker, we have enough crap piled against you we could put you on death row! But we're not that nice, so we'll put you in jail for the rest of your life so you can be ass raped by every fucking con in the whole penitentiary, comprende? So you are gonna do as you're told, and you will work, for US. You will go down to that cesspool of a mansion the NG Mafia has, and you will record and sniff your way through every little piece of their lives. Hell, put a mike under the toilet so we're sure they're not shitting out shipments of drugs. Comprende?

"I'm Venezuelan, asshole, stop saying comprende. It offends me." A little attempt at humor. Brannigan struck him across the face. "Are you gonna do it?"

"Like I have any choice, huh?" Angry-Shoe stood up from the chair, and after making sure the sarge hadn't loosened one of his teeth with that punch, he picked up one the tape recorders and studied it curiously.

"Good. Now get the fuck out of here."

---------------------------

They opened the door, all of them. They were all smiling. In the middle of it all Ghost stood with his arms open. A glass of champagne found its way in Angry-Shoe's hand. He sipped from it but didn't taste it. There were a lot of them. They hugged him to welcome him and under their jackets Angry-Shoe felt the bulk of handguns and other fire arms. Fuck you, Brannigan.

"You came from no family. You don't even know who your father is. Your mother died when you were 6, trying to get you of the streets. You're 25, and 19 of those years you've spent drug dealing, murdering, sinning. I see all of the bruises in your body from all of these tough years. Son, we're your family now. Welcome home." Everyone applauded after Ghost's little speech and pushed Angry-Shoe into the insides of the mansion. All Angry-Shoe could hear was "Welcome home, welcome home."

End

So you guys do people favours in exchange for stuff?

if this is right, I have a job for you.

Nice, so does this mean that he could already be amongst us in hiding? :)

Wait a second though, Prower isn't a capo anymore? Did he resign or something? I always thought he was one of the leaders since he was the one who let many in, in the past, including me. I haven't heard from Brit in some time now, and wasn't Triv a capo or at least a higher up as well?

I know I should know all this but I always thought the higher ups were the ones you listed, as well as Prower and Triv. :/

Holy crap, I was definetly not expecting Struass to do that. One negative thing though - I never carry shotguns, they just don't cut it for me. I would carry an assault rifle (H&K G36, AK-101) or a Submachine Gun (MP5SD, AK-74U). I will never touch a shitty M16 or an M4 version.

For a sidearm, I would probably be carrying either a Kimberly Tactical (a modified 1911 Colt .45) or maybe a IMI Jericho (Baby Eagle). Never give me a Desert Eagle, because I dispise them with a passion.

But awesome story so far, you wet my appetite for MOAR.

Well, I don't know if it's really you guy's thing, but I've been writing a userpage story, and the only people giving review are the cast of it, could you have somebody take a look at it and give an unbiased review?

It's been good. It's been good. I got a life now, so, you know, that's always nice. And I'm relieved that I don't have to start all over with....Angry-Shoe. Yep, that was me. I started all over from the beginning because I wanted to make sure I still fitted in this crew. Seems like it's pretty much the same.

I feel like an idiot, guys. Before I came back as Angry-Shoe, I was being an idiot. I made up a bunch of half-ass excuses about why I couldn't be here more often, and later on I made it even worse by making half-ass promises to come back. Well, now I'm really back, and I'll tell you why:

- I have a new computer.
- I have more free time which means more computer time.
- I have a better Internet connection.
- I LUV NG AND I THOUGHT I DIDN'T *sniff sniff*

Well, and that's it. Also, I won't be using good old Angry-Shoe now that my beautiful Frag is back.

Sounds good man and no worries, I left for a while myself and though I've been back for a little over a month now, I was gone for about six months and I don't think I even stopped by to say hi to anyone in that time frame. :/

Really? It's a pleasure to have Snype aboard. He'd be an uh... interesting lawyer. But thanks for the info -- if the site gets updated sometime, I'll let Boris know. Or, y'know. He could just read this himself...

For now, I guess I'm the "Retired Top Lawyer" or something to that effect. It gives me a nice title without having to do any work.

I tried going on there again, but it required that I have a username. But before you stop making the archive, please -- continue. I'd be willing to create a username just so I can see them.

I'm not so sure. Looking around here, there seems to be a bunch of people coming back. Hell, even Fragment posted. Amazing.

Still, I'm not sure if I ever want it to be back entirely to the way it was -- this lackadaisical (er... "laid back") approach to the club is refreshing.

It is really, but I do miss not having some of the older members here, and its pretty bad when theres only a very few new good personalities coming in recently. :/

We all have to move on sometime in life -- most of the people I talked to on NG have done just that. But, I was still bored, so... yeah. Newer guys are really that bad?

Haha, I know exactly how that is. I wouldn't say anything to anyone unless they directed something towards me or made a reference to something I could relate to. Hell, I remember when I had to just the PM system and AIM to talk to some people just because I got confused at times when I tried talking to them here. XD

I think it was the PM system that finally broke me from Newgrounds. I was already using AIM, MSN, and YIM to contact people on the site -- one more thing, and I just broke. :D

Oh ok, thanks for the link though.

I loved how that morphed from a "I lost it", to a depressing emo cutter story. (Not really. :D)

I can sort of relate (about the computer part). Just... differently. My old computer started to die (it was taking up to three hours to turn on -- it would freeze when I watched a flash animation), so I bought a new one. I've lost all the pictures I had from the NG Mafia, along with all my signatures (hence, no signature on the bottom). But, yours sort of sucked more. :P

It's weird seeing both Ghost and Strauss at the same time -- for most of the time I've been here, it always seems they're active at different times to take charge. But, I'll give them credit -- they've been more active than any of us ever have.

I understand about the shotgun, but I need a gun which would seriously blast a hole the size of Ghost's heart so the reader would be suspicious. Well, it's what I originally intended anyways -- I was also thinking about putting Boris in where you were at first, but I decided that Boris didn't really fit the shotgun-toting type either.

Haha -- if I ever write about you having a sidearm, I'll always say, "Pistol". Now and then, I'll give myself a Desert Eagle because I personally think they're awesome for reasons I don't know, but not specifying the gun lets the reader have a more generalized imagination.

(Big words. :P)

Now that Angry-Shoe's gone, are you going to be continuing the story that you just made earlier? Or... not? Oh, and that's about all I've got to say, because I was doing the same thing as you (got a new computer, made excuses, pretended that I hated NG, etc.) for the past year or so now. So... nice to see you again.

Wow, its nice to see some old members here. Welcome back to Nomad and Frragment. Like Boris said DLJ, I'm the newest. Triv pretty much has the power now to accept new members. I know he has the power to turn them away. I'm actually not sure about Prower, but I believe Strauss brough him back. Thats about it, just wanted to say hello to our returning members.

Golly gee whiz this place sure is growing.

How about 'Expert Legal Advisor', meaning you get retained for your legal expertise when required, but are not permanently on-call?

And welcome back Frag; I reckon you should keep Angry-Shoe around and use him whenever you wanna post drunk or wanna post something weird, or something like that......

And I forgot we were a capo short at the moment; speaking of which has Prower been around much lately? Regardless, I think we should get the third capo up and running ASAP (but then again, it's not as if the place has fallen apart without one......).
Remember when Snype got upset he didn;t get capo last time?:D Good times, good times.

Wow, alot of members coming back. Nice to see TwinUzies in here as well. Yeah Frag Im not really sure why Triv was never made a Capo. Maybe it was inconsistent posting or something. Meh, I like my little Capo powers. I havent been here to use them recently. Fucking bans/

Okay everyone. I started writing a new story starring Snype -- it morphed from a normal story though into a weird anime-mafia universe in the style of those annoying dating sims. It was so stupid (and so very, very disgusting -- the way he died made even me cringe), that I couldn't post it. I'll put up a different one tomorrow.

I saw Prower post about ten pages back. That's about all I saw of him from when I read up before I posted... still, I think we should hold off on naming another one. People seem to be coming back everyday -- let's wait and see who shows up.

One thing you'll find out about BigLundi is that he comes and goes quite often -- that's almost always been the case, at least as long as I've been here. He writes the best stories, but he only comes once in a full moon... it's just the way it is. :D

And, I'm honored by the compliment. This is the first time in awhile I've been anything close to active. :P

well it seems that in their ever-loving faggotry, ezboards has decided with their new parent company, to deny board access to anyone who doesn't have an account. after all that hard work i've done, and i still have so much more to do, now no one can see the boards without signing in first.

so this is what i'm going to do. i'm going to make an account for the entire mafia to use, and i will probably supply the username and password by pm request. that way, you can see the archive and not have to make your own username. of course, you can make your own username if you want, and i can put you down in the site list. (trivia, you can still use your own account. same with ghost if you can remember your password from that long ago)

biglundi drops by the aahc every once in a while, but not that often.

Ok, for my second chapter I want a list of all the members who are active to semi-active (come in at least once every two weeks or so). I can't rely on PMs since I know I won't get everyone, so if someone with a good idea of how many active members we have could be nice enough to post a list for me? kthxbye.

So far I have:

Ghost
Strauss
Triv
Boris
Prower???
Hitman
DLJ
Nomader
CannibalCorpseFreak
Serf
Snype

Anyone else?

Prower comes in every few weeks, giving us a summary of his days and time of no NG, then he says hes going to try and become more active sometimes, but yeah. If ya want, you can always add me, I'm not as active as I used to be but, I still come in here and read up on whats going on.

But I don't think I was here when you where here, but, "Hello there, I'm MC ^_^"

Ok, I'll add you to the list. You joined around the time I left, because I remember you joined with Tails and Prower and they were the last people to join before I left.

I'm not so sure. Looking around here, there seems to be a bunch of people coming back. Hell, even Fragment posted. Amazing.

I know, should've figured out earlier that the other account here was an alt but then again, I really had no way of relating it to someone exactly so I couldn't say too much. :P

Still, I'm not sure if I ever want it to be back entirely to the way it was -- this lackadaisical (er... "laid back") approach to the club is refreshing.

Haha, it really is to be honest, I wouldn't mind to see it keeps it pace as it is right now with the regular conversation and such. We're going a good pace right now and as long as well keep this up, we won't even fall off the front page here. :)

It is really, but I do miss not having some of the older members here, and its pretty bad when theres only a very few new good personalities coming in recently. :/

We all have to move on sometime in life -- most of the people I talked to on NG have done just that. But, I was still bored, so... yeah. Newer guys are really that bad?

Some of them are pretty bad but really, if her and I didn't break up then I wouldn't have come back. A part of me is glad we did for various reasons but then again theres always the "what-is" that plague my mind with the situation. :/

Haha, I know exactly how that is. I wouldn't say anything to anyone unless they directed something towards me or made a reference to something I could relate to. Hell, I remember when I had to just the PM system and AIM to talk to some people just because I got confused at times when I tried talking to them here. XD

I think it was the PM system that finally broke me from Newgrounds. I was already using AIM, MSN, and YIM to contact people on the site -- one more thing, and I just broke. :D

Same here, and the main reason I don't have lots of posts here is because I used other methods to talk to people here, hell I even made chat rooms for everyone to talk in as well and that kinda made the conversation here a bit lesser.

Oh ok, thanks for the link though. I had it a while ago but I was going to move and in the process, lots of things got deleted off my computer.. in the end though, I didn't move and well.. its a long story.. basically to make it short, girl living with me, going great, decide we wanna move somewhere else, this isn't my computer so we take some stuff and delete the rest, it doesn't end up working out, and in the end.. I loss lots of shit that I wish I had back. :(

I loved how that morphed from a "I lost it", to a depressing emo cutter story. (Not really. :D)

XD If I ever let a girl get me that down, I would bitch slap my own self. haha

I can sort of relate (about the computer part). Just... differently. My old computer started to die (it was taking up to three hours to turn on -- it would freeze when I watched a flash animation), so I bought a new one. I've lost all the pictures I had from the NG Mafia, along with all my signatures (hence, no signature on the bottom). But, yours sort of sucked more. :P

Meh, yours sounds a bit harsher than mine ever was. I mean hell, I lost quite a few things but I didn't lose an entire computer worth of stuff, hell.. I wouldn't wish to trade or anything but I think we both are equal if anything with being fucked over by computers. :P

Triv pretty much has the power now to accept new members. I know he has the power to turn them away. I'm actually not sure about Prower, but I believe Strauss brough him back. Thats about it, just wanted to say hello to our returning members.

Thats cool bro, I always thought of them two as ones with power as well but either way, they're both Mafia legends to me. I mean Triv has all the great science and who else here has two fuzzy tails other than Prower? :)

Eh, couldn't pretend to be a noob. I would never forgive myself.

Same with myself and all my alts, I can't even bare to write something to make myself even come off as a noob in any sense, it would kill me if I did that. :/

Sounds good man and no worries, I left for a while myself and though I've been back for a little over a month now, I was gone for about six months and I don't think I even stopped by to say hi to anyone in that time frame. :/

Well, it's good that you're here, and it feels great to be back. I just wish all the old schoolers from '05 would come back. I feel so old now.

I know man, I mean I'm from '04 myself but thats with Newgrounds, I've only been in the Mafia for maybe a year or two now, I wish some others would come back as well, I hope more do soon enough. :)

We all do somewhere, and I think thats what turns us all right back to this even after we leave for a long time. :P

I think you're right. I kept thinking about this place and when I tried to log on and couldn't I was felt so depressed. And it wasn't the same with Angry-Shoe, I felt like I had abandoned Frag.

Yea, I know what you mean. Its the same when I had left and would get on the computer, I had to restrain myself from coming here and well.. I couldn't stand it sometimes and I did post but I never really posted regularly for that time.. maybe only a few a month, and by a few I mean one or two. :(

Well, welcome back brother, good to have another good one back on our side. :)

Hear hear!

:D

Nice story, Angry-Shoe. I thought that it's setting the stage for a pretty good storyline, and I look forward to hearing more of it.... or not, because you're actually Fragment.

I'm continuing the story, and I'm even keeping the same character (Angry-Shoe).

OMFG it's Fragment! Congratulations on uh... logging on.

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!!!

Don't worry -- I've been doing that for half a year now. Welcome back, Frag.

Glad to be here.

Well, if it isn't the legendary Twin Uzis. I don't know why, but it's kind of comforting having you pop in every once in a while. Hi!

Hey bro, its too bad to see you have to go so soon but its awesome to hear from ya! :D

Sounds good man, would you like for us to send PM request right away or give ya some time to set everything up first?

All right guys, I'm going to bed but I'll see you tomorrow. I'll also post Part 2 of Rat tomorrow.

Everything happens for a reason. And because I'm such a blind optimist, I even tend to think that awful things always have a good purpose. If "it didn't work out", it wouldn't have ever worked out in the first place. Listen to classical music. :P

Same here, and the main reason I don't have lots of posts here is because I used other methods to talk to people here, hell I even made chat rooms for everyone to talk in as well and that kinda made the conversation here a bit lesser.

Haha, the only reason why I have any posts here is because for about a year, I went... insane. I just posted like mad -- even though I hadn't posted once before today for about half a year, my posts per day were still over three... and that's just sad. ;(

(I once posted twenty times in the Wi/Ht? forum. Twenty.)

XD If I ever let a girl get me that down, I would bitch slap my own self. haha

I'd pay to see that. :P

Well, truthfully, I don't think of it that bad. I finally have a laptop (xD), a computer that's up to date (xD), one that writes when I type in the keys (xD), and can play HD DVDs (xD .... no wait. Shit.) -- I'm a happy guy with this one. :P

Still, I have my old computer... just, I'm not going to listen to it turning on for an entire day... it's sort of a waste.

Hey! I remember you! I think I put you in one of my stories once. And I'm pretty sure I was here when you joined. :P

Nice to see you again. xD
