It is decided. After speaking with Revo for a hearty bit, I have decided to resign. You may ask why, and I will tell you. I will not hold in. Our family is strong. As true as this is, we are un-organized. I have nothing but respect for both Hiredgun and TheSaint, but if they were both going to go inactive, and so was Varun, our Consigliere, then he should have made a chain of command. I have respect for both our dons, but I never wanted to believe I was loyal to them. I was loyal to our family. And if it takes a caporegime abandoning the family to make somebody see that this Mafia has turned to nothing but a bunch of guys sitting in cars shooting at cops, and looking for some excuse to kill them, then so be it.

I want to list those who I believe kept me here.

[b]NAS brothers[/b], you just amaze me. Both of you are great leaders and good friends.

[b]Francis_Kyle[/b], I thought you were my enemy, sworn to hunt down the Gronko name. You proved me wrong. You were a good comrade.

[b]Hiredgun[/b], you came back, and you came back with a bang. You were the first to speak to me about becoming part of the family, and I will be forever in your debt for giving me the opportunity to be apart of something that was and can be something very great.

[b]Jim_Webb[/b], you remind of someone else I know. You never want to be involved in all the foolish take-over's I lead like an idiot. Every time I see you, I am reminded of a very funny friend. I hope you will help change this family for the better.

[b]TheSaint[/b], I hope you take my resignation and make something of it. Make sure that everyone who doesn't help make the family a better place is punished. I'd also like to warn you how foolish you are for suspending paranoid. He may have broken a server rule, but it was a mistake. Everybody makes them. I ask that you shorten his suspension and allow him back his rank as Underboss. Do not punish your most loyal member for a mistake. Please...

Former Caporegime of La Cosa Nostra family,
