GOOOOODDDDD MORNNNNININNNNNNGGGGG SSSSUUUPEERRRRR SSSSTOOOOOOOONNNNNNK!
I am u/Odd-Ad-900 and I am your mildly unhinged morning news anchor.
Yes, I took my Reddit given name. No, I am not "new". Calling me a shill? MGGA Please... (psshhhh)
I want to give A Big thank you to my news team u/blazlyn, u/viviconsadventures, u/tokyorose and our very own mods u/dismal-jellyfish, u/Hipz**,** and u/luma44 You guys are the best! And I couldn't do this without you.
Can You Smell That? It smells like the fire that will consume Rome. It will be a great show... kinda like hanging with Tyler Durdin in the financial district...
God I love this job.
Insert NON-FLACCID intro card
We all knew immediately that the AH price action yesterday was fake. I will admit that it got my blood moving to see those numbers. However, that pump quickly went away as diamond hands kicked in. And I am proud to say that when I hopped on Superstonk, there was not any crazy MOASS posts or anything detracting from finding out what the hell was going on.
And if they didn't want to get the attention of ALL OF THE INTERNET... they really fucked up.
Gamestop did not announce anything.
And even their timing is off... AGAIN!!! What kind of low rent junk ass bullshit crime syndicate are you running here?

It's such an amazing amazing amazing concept and the image of Oliver fighting an evil version of himself in a red suit makes me squee like a little girl. Of course I want everyone to go up against their counterparts, but this would also be an excuse to see our favorite characters go against each other; Oliver and Barry get a rematch, Atom versus Firestorm, maybe Diggle will win the first fight of his life.
I never mistook this job for low risk but I never imagined it could potentially get me thrown in jail.
We got a pretty sketchy delivery call at a late hour. Our FOH is constantly slammed with everyone desperate to eat at a table again now that the vaccine’s out, and they were in the weeds, so I grabbed the phone.
Before I could even finish our standard greeting the guy just goes, “Yah it’s Mack. I’m ordering a pizza.”
I’m not much for small talk either, so I’m rolling with it, like, “Good for you Mack. Pick up or delivery?” You know, just rattling off the standard questions. He answered the first few but he seemed hesitant or… confused?
He argued with some other guy behind him for a sec then got back on the line and ordered like normal, as though none of the preceding stuff had even happened.
Whatever.
I caught his delivery and out I went. It was a standard large pizza, no toppings, no extras. They were going to pay cash.
I pull up and it’s a scary, run down, sparsely populated apartment complex. Mostly broke college students in there now though, so I wasn’t too concerned or anything.
I get to the door and when I knock it eases open a bit. This didn’t seem like the ideal neighborhood to keep your door unlocked but, not my business. I called in, “Hey, pizza!”
There was no response. I called a little louder, “Got your pizza out here!”
And an alarmed voice from inside was like “Sshhh, just come in!”
Ahaha, no. I get that request weirdly a lot, like, everyone from sketchy apartment bros to suburban soccer moms, asking me to bring the pizza to the dinner table because they’re busy. Some people even pulled this during the pandemic. But it’s a long-standing company policy, a damn good one, that entering the home for any reason whatsoever is a hard no.
So I said back, “Can’t do that. But I can leave it out here if you don’t want to come to the door. Just need payment first.” There was a silence and some shuffling and then the door shut. And locked. And the guy was like, “What do you mean payment first? That’s not what we agreed on.” Through the closed door.
I was standing there wondering if this was the first pizza this man had ever ordered in his life, because payment first is basically implied, right?
But I’m not looking for any confrontations or trying to be an asshole so I just tell him, “Yah, so, our store policy is payment first.” And he erupts, screaming, “That’s not what Mario and I discussed!”
So then I thought maybe he was t

Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin finished at 2-1 in the quadrangle of hate in 2021. Nebraska lost its three games, each by a TD, thanks to being the best 3-9 in the history of sport and coached by Close Loss (Scott) Frost.
The tiebreaker I am using to determine Wisconsin as the "winner" of the belt this year is margin of victory in common games among the three teams.
Wisconsin: Beat Iowa 27-7, lost to Minnesota 23-13 (margin of +10)
Minnesota: Beat Wisconsin 23-13, lost to Iowa 27-22 (margin of +5)
Iowa: Beat Minnesota 27-22, lost to Wisconsin 27-7 (margin of -15)
Wikipedia says it included “At least 14 criminal organizations” but doesn’t specify which ones
I know it included Mafia Families, the Bugs and Meyer NY Jewish Mob and the Zwillmam NJ Jewish Mob and also Nucky Johnson’s Atlantic City Mob
I’m guessing Italian Mafia families made up the majority of the Syndicate, at the time there were 11 Northeastern Families (Philly, Pittsburg, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, NJ, Buffalo, Providence/Boston and the 5 NY Families) and 6 Midwestern Families (Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland, St Louis and Kansas) not to mention the several families further West and down South so I’m guessing not all Mafia Families were involved in the Syndicate and it was mainly a NY/NJ thing?
That said Chicago was definitely involved and Al Capone attended the Atlantic City conference in 1929 himself.
Does anyone know the actual list? The “At least 14 criminal organizations” from wiki seems like a random number pulled from someones ass tbh.
Were there any other Jewish mobs outside of the NY and NJ ones involved?
Wikipedia also says the Syndicate “also involved other criminal organizations such as the Irish Mob”, anyone know which ones in particular?
My hope is that the series will show the function, strengths and weaknesses of each crime syndicate such as how they make their money and why being under Boba’s umbrella could benefit them (i.e. what they lack)
From what I know of the syndicates:
Before Jabba’s death, Hutt space was a valuable asset as it was outside the control of the Republic jurisdiction. Judging by the trailer, Boba will have to “convince” Jabba’s former captains to work with him.
The Pykes have a monopoly on spice production but they use bounty hunters to smuggle it.
The Black Sun have armies of enforcers but what they want is a piece of the spice production that the Pykes have a stranglehold over.
Crimson Dawn is a bit of a mystery at this point in the timeline. I would presume Qi’ra is still running the show but apparently their influence diminished after the empire fell.
The Haxion Brood seems to consist of bounty hunters and killer droids. While not a crime syndicate I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bounty Hunters Guild came into play.
Let me know what you think.
Sinestro's ring is powered by others' fear and power ring's ring is fueled by his fear and makes him feel intense fear. (Unstoppable combo omg) An internet troll is an expert on making people rage, and the hulk gets stronger with rage PLUS the rage ring makes the wearer feel intense rage. (Another unstoppable combo) Make good arguments as to who would win instead of just posting a name, please...
I've never done this well with a criminal heritage run before, just noticed this waiting for the crisis to spawn (2448 on 2400 still waiting) . Trade income is halved to farm unity. Modelling a crime empire on the Hutts from Star Wars has been fun though. crime syndicate, corporate hedonism, indentured servitude, and ruthless competition swapped in there at some point for civics I ran most of the game.
Would love to hear about any other great crime syndicate games you folks have had!
