Katie "Shocker" Elliott,
Special GM Rolinda "Ma" Collinson, 2007 champ Jeffrey
"The Head" Hacker, and Alan "Tick Tock" Arvold
hit the streets. |
John "Bugs" Elliott, Ashley
"Angel" Collinson, Karen Roberts, and Jacob Nixon try
to beat the clock and each other as the two newcomers earn their
monikers. |
Da Boss is Back ...
After thoroughly ventilating the Viper just a few weeks before
the tournament, Rolinda "Ma" Collinson once again took
the GM reins. As expected, Chicago-wide seductions rose with
the influx of the fairer mobsters. However, gang violence continued
apace despite the gentler hand pulling the trigger on her Chicago
typewriter.
The Final was an odd affair with no one able to collect the
G's despite the presence of two past champs and a Top Ten laurelist.
Half-way through the game, the five mob bosses had less than
three grand between 'em. As a result, the lot switched to monopoly
strategies, and only one ever managed to collect any real dough.
In the end, our new Godfather prevailed by piling up real estate
around the city for his illicit rackets and stills. It was Nick's
third title in Gangsters and his third triumph of the
week and his tenth overall.
While Ma and her mob were well prepared to run the tournament,
the transition to Class C put more lead in the air than a cop
car tailgating a lorry full o' Ma's finest moonshine.
In 2012, we'll smooth the road faster than a donut shop can
divert coppahs by makin' a few changahs: 1) Arrivin' players
will select the experienced or non-advancin' novice divisions.
2) Novices will watch a 15-minute rules video (which will also
be on the website in advance) or short one-topic strategy session
(if they already know the rules). 3) Novices will compete for
the Junior Godfather award. 4) Helpful announcements and reminders
will be posted on each table. 5) The time for all aspects of
each move will be limited to three minutes.
Plus this coming year player's mob badges will be barcoded
and scanned for admission to our speakeasy (with all your preferences
saved from last year). The computer will assign games to get
players seated with others of similar preference and playing
even faster than normal (and even keep mob families on separate
tables). Even better, after each heat, the system will prepare
reports for the kiosk, semis, and "The Don." In addition,
results and statistics will be kept and available 'till youse
're pushin' daises. Youse won't even have to guess how many new
opponents you have in each game or how many rated games you've
played before! But that's not all. If youse orders now, we throws
in free ginsu knives with every heater.
The streets of Chicago will be a different place in 2012.
Just as wet, noisy, and dangerous, but easier and more fun alls
the same. Youse can bet yer trench coats on it—just don't try
takin' no donuts away from no coppahs if youse wants to live
to tell the tale.

Wagner seems a tad intimidated by Craig "No Cigar"
Reece whose haberdashere has supplied him with vintage duds.
