Oh, no. No, no, no. It's a joke. It has to be a fucking joke. There is no way in hell this could be happening. Soon I'll wake up, and everything will be back to normal.

He's joking he's joking he's joking. He was always such a funny guy, hahahahahaha, jokes over now, you've worried Tangent, come say hi now...

No I suppose not. I just seem to have developed some sort of a block when it comes to C&C.

I see you're getting through the pages a lot slower than we used to. That's probably a reflection on how rubbish we used to post here, but the activity was nice.

Mmm...Phantom doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who'd joke about this.

Any ideas what tipped him over the edge?

From the looks of it, some trick ass ho named Katya. She didn't love him back so with all dramatic bitchness he wrote a book quality suicide letter and like everything else he did, half assed a suicide. Fuck 'im.

meh...Phantom lives.

It is as I feared. He told me he would kill himself sooner or later, but I didn't think it would be so soon. PIty, he was such a nice guy. Shame, he was one that I used to have long conversations with over MSN.

It sucks that it had to come to this. I hope that he failed in his attempt this time just like the one he failed to do a year ago, but somewhere I feel like this time he has really done it. And over some stupid girl who was too stupid to realize that she was getting cheated on.

He didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve any of this that he went through. If only he had found a different way to handle this situation, but I guess that is out of our hands now.

It's just too bad that he had to end his life so soon. At least he's in a better place now, without pain and suffering.

Rest in peace Phantom, you will be missed, at least by me.

You're alive too?

Hey guys, how's everything been going for you all since Christmas? Sorry for inactivity, [strong]again[/strong], but I just find it hard sometimes to come onto NG to look around. You know, how when you first start, it's like a lustrous thing, all shiny with different shit to do. Now, it's not so much that, but then again, maybe it's just cause I've seen alot of shit on here, and it's getting old...

Regardless though, I hope you all had happy holidays. I've been messing around with my new Wii, and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and it's a pretty all right game. It's a railshooter though, so it's always fixed, but you do have some control over where to go, by blowing a door open, or it'll ask for an action command on a direction sometimes. :D

It really is a shame about Phantom though...like, I don't know really what to say exactly. He did put me in the mind though of a man that could easily go over the edge, cause I did talk to him from time to time on MSN a while back. It's a sad thing to see when stuff like this happens, but eh...what can you do really? What's done is done, and there isn't any second chances in the game of life...

...unless, you got an extra life. :p

Double post, but yeah, it has to be done.

I keep forgetting, that it's not [ ] before things that makes accents and other text alterations, but in fact, it's < >.

So therefore, I've come up with the greatest conclusion EVER.

...I am a retard.

Discuss. :p

Well, Prower, I don't really know you that well, so I an't really discuss that. Besides, I may be an asshole, but I'm not that much of an asshole (unless it's somebody I know and hate). No discussion from me. Sorry (not).

Sorry for my double post, but I made a mistake again.

Neither of you are assholes, compared to old me. :)

So, what, is Phantom serious? I thought that he was kidding, that it was supposed to be a joke. If not, damn, sucks that he's dead.

it seems that anyone who knew him well enough says that he wouldn't joke about suicide, and apparently he talked about it everyday. he might have seriously attempted it, but i don't believe he's dead. he's either in the nuthouse or off the internet for a while. the dosages he took of that medication isn't enough to kill him.

but one thing he's been successful in doing is making a name for himself all over the bbs. i don't know, maybe that's what he wanted all along. just more attention.

Women are trouble. That, and they're fickle and will break ya in a second.

That's why I chose to be single.

(that was a well written note, though. I'll give him that. I'm not gonna believe he actually killed himself unless I have some proof.)

PS: Hi guys. Been a while, eh?

i came in here and i was gonna ask if anyone noticed that recently, that phantom guy finally committed suicide or whatever, and how awesome that was
but i guess you guys actually found out before me

anyone know what email he used for keepyousafe? knowing the user id is half the battle.

hyeh
trouble, only sometimes
fickle, probably true
break you, really good lamb of god song

but the fun in a relationship is all about the unpredictability.
you don't get that with being single. and i bet after a few years, you change your mind about being single - shit, eighteen years is far from mature enough for anyone to determine their future lifestyle.

Yes, good song indeed.

True. I might change my mind in the future. But, for now, that's how it'll be for me.

Long time, no see. What you been up to?

Hmmmm, interesting to hear, though I don't know any details at all. I kinda figured he wasn't actually dead, but yeah...can't ever be really certain about anything.

Not to sound like I'm stereotyping people or anything, but typically, people with personalities that lean toward being emo and shit like that strive for attention. Not that Phantom was gunning for a look such as that, but I get the feeling that he did it, and got the shitton of attention you just mentioned, so it's like a big 'mission success' I suppose.

Dunno what to make of it if that be the case...other than I think that's rather sad, to put it bluntly...

I'm never gonna understand why people think hurting themselves makes them feel better, or why they think that it's the best way to get attention...

That's where you are wrong man. They might be fickle and ruthless, but it pays to have charm. Either flip the script on them, or make friends with their moms. That way, even after the break up, they will hear about you.

That's why I chose to be single.

Take a chance, try a few out and take them around the block. (I'm not sexist)

(that was a well written note, though. I'll give him that. I'm not gonna believe he actually killed himself unless I have some proof.)

Keep checking the net for his name on sites that have actual media credit.

PS: Hi guys. Been a while, eh?

Yes it has been. Too long in fact. Maybe Phantom's plan was to reunite the mafia, to bring us all back together again.

I apologize for the long wait, but I've finally brought myself to share my thoughts on Phantom's announcement. He IM'ed me with a link to his userpage on Thursday afternoon, where I saw the news post stating his intent to commit suicide the following morning. I didn't know what to think at that moment; I wanted to express my concern, but couldn't decide the best way to do so. Also, I seem to recall being misled by a fake suicide post before, so cynicism combined with social seclusion (an unfortunate side-effect of being bullied until the 10th grade) kept me from responding. If you're reading this, Phantom, whether from your home computer or the afterlife, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you.

I'm astounded. Take a break from NG for about a week and come back to find an original member from the Mafia has offed himself. He really did it I'm guessing? Well peace be with his family then.

Anyways...

What am I doing? I think I already said I would like to be in the Genetics department so... can I?

Ever since I started fucking around with the new Resident Evil game pretty hardcore-like, I've almost considered asking for a transfer from Weapons Tech to Genetics. I don't think Regus would be happy with that decision though... XD

If not completely transfer over, maybe I can start throwing out random things that come to mind, and see what can happen. I'm pretty sure with Strauss' talks about RE (which we had numerous, numerous times), I'm sure some fun ideas can come to mind from all of this. :D

Also, the New Year is coming up...which means...RESOLUTIONS! Mine: to hopefully keep as active as I can in this joint, and to actually write something, which I will force myself to do after New Years Eve whether I like it or not. :p

Anyways, I'm out for now, will keep tabs in and out when I get bored tonight.

Dunno...Most of the crap I outfit my genetic freaks with comes from Weapons Department, it seems. As long as it won't impact research over there, I personally don't have a problem with the transfer (Bah, I don't even make the calls anyhow).

If not completely transfer over, maybe I can start throwing out random things that come to mind.

Oh God, I thought Gingerbread men were bad. Actual zombies would actually be sort of dangerous rather than annoying. Crimson heads aren't something I'd like to meet in the hallway.

Moving right along, I've developed a new security feature.

Anybody who's played LoZ knows about the flying floor tiles. However, those were powered by sinister spirits, magic, something, and I haven't been able to find an age in time that had fully functional magical arts or anything like that.

So these floor tiles are a sort of thing that will jump up in your face and scare the shit out of you.

Specs:

Size: Ranging from 1"x1" (Tiny shower tile things) to 4'x4' (Huge ass decorative jobs)

Species Branch: Arachnid came to mind, but those proved to not be durable enough for the task, so the smaller tiles are a genetic blend of a spider and a roach. The larger ones are sorts of fucked up primates.

Basically, a freakazoid monkey mashed into a floor/ceiling tile.

Armament/Defenses: The floor tile on the primate model, rather than being ceramic and brittle, is made up of layers of Kevlar and steel, with only the surface made up of ceramic material.

The Spockroaches (Hah, Spock. It was either that or "Cockriders")only have venom that causes immense irritation, but the Tile Monkeys have a mixed armament varying of combinations from Adamantium claws, miniature jackhammers, ozone emitters (o3 is toxic at atmospheric level), projectile launchers (small cannon that uses anything as ammo-quite useful) and industry strength lasers.

Physical Ability: The Spockroaches are nothing remarkable, with no particularly special enhancement, but the monkeys have three tails that each end in a fully functional six fingered hand. The tails and hands are pure muscle and steel alloy, and ensure a Tile Monkey's victory in hand to hand combat.

Mental Capacity: Since they have six hands to control, the Tile Monkey's brain is quite sophisticated for a monkey. The bigger the model of monkey is, the smarter it is. For stealthy operations, as the monkeys were designed for, they take orders from an Alpha, which is tested to be the most intelligent of the group.

Looking it over, I started thinking that these would be more effective as offensive assault thugs.

For that purpose, I'd modify a human and not a monkey or ape. Which I'm not going to do yet. Morality and such.

Phantom's death has brought a little bit of a downer on our usually proud and wild group. I would like to take this time of mourning and period of cocern to just let you guys know that if you honestly need to talk about this I will be available to talk to on AIM or PM. i'll try my best to respond to anyone that wants to talk.

AIM- DreamJragon

Jesus Christ, Ive been inactive. Im back, and I see buisness has picked up a bit. A bit sad to hear about the Death of Phantom, if it is true. Ghost is right however that it has sparked life in the Mafia. Haha, well I guess the kid started here and it kind of ends here. Anyway, just letting you know that IM not dead and Ill be around more often.

I have you down in my org chart as part of the Genetics division. Now to earn that spot, I'd like you to pass a little test:

Given DNA samples of all domestic animals raised for food (cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, etc.), I want you to create the tastiest creature in the world. You have until Leap Day (February 29, 2008) to accomplish this. For bonus points, give me a recipe I can use to prepare this über-meat.

He'd still have command of Snype and all of the new guys who apply for Weapons jobs. I just wish someone would focus on the other side of the coin - Armor is an equally important part of the Defense Sector, but it's empty because no one thinks it's as sexy as Weapons.

You can transfer to any division you want if you're willing to undergo a new trial, or just work on any scientific project regardless of the department. If you want to dabble in Genetics or any other section, feel free to do so. In fact, that's why I got rid of "Specialist" positions a year or two ago.

Hmmmmm....that's rather interesting. Armed with basically what you've just told me, I think I got some ideas, and yeah, someone does need to try making some armor and such. Maybe I can attempt to give it a shot, and see what I can come up with. :p

What's gonna suck, is I'd have to make something special for myself, considering my difference among the others. :/
