Black Cloud: “Brutal and Long Lasting” Mafia Wars Coming
by Pixeleen Mistral on 19/05/11 at 3:20 am
I had just stepped off the plane on my way back to the Herald offices in Jessie sim after several weeks of intensive training on "The Bonnie Situation" - the newest Herald racing yacht - when my iMojowire 4 started buzzing. There was breaking news from a mysterious source who calls himself "The Black Cloud".
If my anonymous source was to be believed, a Second Life mafia war could be imminent. But in the hall of mirrors that is teh interwebs, who can you trust? Was the Black Cloud's note legitimate - or had overexposure to Porkrind Neva's constant Google bombing and multi-syllabic gibberish corroded another poor soul's ability to think rationally?
The Wrong Hands chat with Green Lantern Excelsior - and I make a new e-friend
Normally I would have shrugged it all off, but the Justice League Unlimited had been unusually active over the the last few days, and Green Lantern Excelsior was spotted chatting up the The Wrong Hands faction at their base in Revolution sim.
I arrived too late to witness the entire JLU/TWH tête-à-tête first hand, but when Green Lantern Excelsior accepted my friendship request I knew the situation was more than serious. A close reading of the Black Cloud's warning only confirmed my worst fears:
As of me writing this email to you I will remain anonymous, if you release my email address to anyone we shall issue a warning shot against you. Be warned.
Nicholas Mafia & Stracci Famiglia, the newer alliance to hit SL are being targeted by a Mafia you claimed was killed out by 187, The family group we gave to DD was indeed an actual dummy group (Referring to your cover on the 187 vs. Carona Mafia war). We are back after months of preparation and now we have Stracci and Nicholas joint in a corner crying over youtube comments and constatly IMing us in SecondLife trying to troll their way out, We also included an Anonymous friend in this tiff to help shake things up a little, A further group whom you are familiar with are working behind the scenes too.
The attacks to come are going to be brutal and long lasting, we will hit with not only SL attacks but expose those of the groups and take down their websites with either defacement, DDOS and not forgetting infecting download links on their blogs/sites. The Sherlock database which Cal developed to grab peoples IP's which is currently being used to expose innocent SL residents is also being targeted and WILL be found, Cal tried to laugh this situation off but we know he isn't laughing because they're now sat adding people on facebook trying hopelessly to get our RL info.
We are a Real Life group as well as SecondLife now and will stop at nothing,
We will not stop,
Until your will breaks.
We will not slow down,
Until you can no longer run.
We will have no mercy,
Until you cry out for it.And stop twisting the fucking truth, it gives you no right of way past the wrath of your committed sins, Pixeleen.

Can we please get over this Second Life mafia shit? Please?
I had some dipshit group try to come into my city and ruin the place with their boring, incompatible bullshit. None of them followed the rules and believed if I banned them, their leaders would come back and grief us.
It’s been 2 months and we haven’t been taken down once. In fact, when we banned them, our near-hourly crashes went down to maybe once a week, if that.
So, y’know, just saying, but publicizing this childish turf war just makes them happier and drives their whole “I want to be king dipshit” mentality.

So GLE is now a member of the Wrong Hands? Or was he in fact secretly a member all along and Haruhi Thespian only *thought* she was the mole, a patsy set up to protect the deep cover moles?
This is the internet. You can’t prove it won’t happen.

“The attacks to come are going to be brutal ”
like 2 12 year old girls in an insult fight
The script kiddies are so lame and ineffectual — but since the teen grid was merged with SL, you will get these “brutal mafia wars” otherwise known as drama-queening
Say Wut?
May 19th, 2011
“To mafia or not to mafia, that is the question?
Whether ’tis nobler in the delusional mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous claims or simple cum in the eye fantasy-faps,
Or to take arms against a sea of I’m not getting enough attention ova here,
And by opposing end them, once and for all?”
This twisto-facts blog story smacks of more Cal is bored and Pix is helping BS. Can’t these lame tarts make up their minds if they are Nicholas Mafia or not? Seems all too repetitive.
Boring………………………..

While I know women don’t exist on the Internets, they do exist in quite abundant numbers in this magical place known as real life. What is really curious to a Second Life resident is the vast majority of the women in real life aren’t lesbians and shockingly prefer men as sexual partners!
May I suggest these Mafia members they turn off their computers, seek out these real life women, get laid and stop boring us with your never ending drama.

Gee, the “Brutal and Long Lasting” got my full attention. I hunger for the good old killing days of yore, so a mafia full scale war would be most interesting. I do hope all members involved stick to fairly fair warfare, and not sink to the…umm…depths of griefing that get us alllll banned. That, it seems is too much to ask for. Too bad.

I have literally never seen one of these mafia dudes or heard of their exploits and i hang out with a p. bad crowd (5th street dirty diapa’s represent), so idk what the big deal is but then again i heard the rapture’s suppose to be on the 21st or something so maybe that’s what this is abouit????

Is this some kind of twisted Publicity Stunt for that new dorky GREEN LANTERN movie coming out soon? That Movie will kill the Lanterns in SL like the new Star Trek movie killed the Trek community. So fly, fly while you can GLE, put the ring on and start glowing green or whatever you do, and while you’re at it, go get Venkman and haul his ass up to about 50,000 feet and shove a Sensations Kriptonite dildo up his ass and stand by for lulz…

Both GLE and Vagabond was present at TWH meeting. Interestingly the hand of friendship was extended. With or without Kalels knowledge, who knows. But it was a lengthy visit which resulted well.
On another note, Nicholas are kicking themselves for slipping up and accidentally revealing themselves as owners of the list. A blog claiming to dox many residents. Although much of the data is incorrect, the mafia’s stupidity was shown as they revealed themselves. Deleting their post as it happened, but not before a screen capture!
I would recommend before claiming Anonymous you think who you are messing with. Jumping on bandwagons only makes it all the more funny when you fall off. And you guys really face planted into the dirt hard.
GJ!

You want scary? There is a big tit bimbo inworld who if you piss her off will buy up every sim in your estate/region and then default on them all at once on your LL due day, crashing you so hard you have to fork out tons of usd to keep them afloat since you cant re-rent them all fast enough to recover your lost tier.
This isn’t just a “one only” sim experience I’ve heard, rather she will rent many sims or rent every lot on them if you own a group of sims and fuck you over. Imagine having to cough up USD pay on say 20 rented sims all at once when all the free alt accounts abandon your land on your LL tier payday at once. Ouch.
That is a mafia bitch. These guys mentioned here could take lessons.
Yep

You want scary? Someone has taken the vehicle script out of one of those damned cars or trucks that infest the mainland bumping into things and people, and they have put it into a Giant Proky Head, and now someone is launching giant Proky heads out to go roaming the mainland bashing into things. I didnt believe it at first but I saw one go by and I tried to turn around and get a picture, but I crashed trying to cross the sim border. rats.

@hobo: Floatin’ heads skeers me.
I just saw a funny ol’ movie with a floatin’ head in it. I recollect this here line:
“The Penis is evil! The Penis shoots Seeds, and makes new Life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the Gun shoots Death and purifies the Earth of the filth of Brutals. Go forth, and kill! Zardoz has spoken.”
Now you tell me: Am Porkrind Neva a-tryin’ to bekum a god?

…Ohh look, more Mafia.
This never gets old, I swear. The day a “Mafia” member manages to cross the street on Genesis Prime WITHOUT getting run over by the supposedly ‘hazardous’ traffic or falling to their deaths may actually be the day when we actually have to engage them in llDamage Combat for once.
Until then, keep the shit flying, Pixleen, it’s been two months and still nothing interesting here ever gets done besides Cayce’s occasional Reports.

@Tux – LOL, it’s called “surveillance”.
@MattyK, Cayce’s reports are the one thing worth reading here. If he ever goes over to Krypton Radio instead, the Herald is done. I hope he’s being well paid.

LOL 187, nobodies. Have to say the combination of TWH and Nicholaz is impossible to beat. Even the JLU cries for mercy, the G-team is no more, Emerald is banned, RedZone, banned…. and what again is 187′s record? Nothing…. The oddsmakers can call this one pretty easily.
Anon
May 20th, 2011
@Intblubber, LOL – show me where the JLU “cries for mercy”. If they’re in such bad shape, why did TWH want to try to hide behind them and get a photo-op implying the JLU was supporting them?
Nicholas Mafia collapsed, Woodbury collapsed, and Pixeleen’s obviously terrified, or why do it?

@ Senban: “So GLE is now a member of the Wrong Hands?”
Very funny. Vagabond and I were invited to visit, so we did. I was wearing a tag from my group The Green Lanterns, not JLU, and was interested to see their sim. I had been banned since those sims were created, and was only unbanned a few minutes before they TPed me in. It’s actually a very nice-looking sim – kudos to the builder.
So this unnamed mafia group that was supposed to have been killed off in the past is now planning to target two other mafia groups? Would it be possible to write some stories about that conflict, like the Herald used to do for the SL military battles? I don’t believe in defacing and DDOSing people’s RL websites, because that’s against the law, but details of epic battles and campaigns might make for some interesting reading.

Don’t take life so seriously cupcake <3
It was just a little fun based on all that mad stuff from a couple of years back. I don't care one way or the other because I'm not involved in SL anymore. It was just some gentle ribbing, smile, it's fun

@Anon.
I really don’t think that Krypton Radio and the Herald are in competition.
Krypton Radio is a JLU e-fanzine where any comment contrary to the JLU or their views is blocked, thus giving only a one sided, heavily censored, almost propagandist commentary.
The Herald is a “muck raking” and “sensationalist” e-tabloid that gently (okay, not so gently) gives the one finger salute to those in authority, or who would be in authority, with absolutely no censorship on comments.
I really can’t see any common ground, can you?
