The History of the Graal Mafia

THE HISTORY OF THE GRAAL MAFIA

GENESIS (late 2010 - mid 2011)

Era's Mafia has had many notable figures like Don Million Rhymes (or, Andrea Caprini), Trylios (Charles) Luciano, Joe Luciano, Sonny and Dom and Bulldogg Lucero, Carlo Gambino, Frank Genovese as well as numerous others. The history begins with the Southridge Mafia. The first Don was Million Rhymes. At the time, many joined in as this was when the game first started. Then, the young Joe Luciano joined it with promise and hope, as it was his start in the mafia. Other members joined such as Sonny Lucero and Noroup Tangliano. Times were peaceful but then another boss rivaled that of Million Rhymes. This boss was young Trylios, or Charles Luciano. He created The Luciano Family and started a long dynasty. When Million Rhymes quit along with Trylios, the mafias collapsed and cartels took their place. CDG and CJNG were both founded and became rivals and after 6 months of just cartels, The Castillo Family rose out of the dust and CJNG had less power. They nearly died out. Joe Luciano then came back on the scene soon after the formation of The Castillo Family. Joe Luciano made the second incarnation of The Luciano Family and allied with The Castillo Family to fight CDG. They won a series of wars against CDG until CDG made a proposal to Joe Luciano they would share the power and enslave Castillo. He agreed and enslaved The Castillo Family, effectively destroying it.

CHANGING TIMES (mid 2011 - late 2011)

For a while it was just CDG and Luciano but then the CJNG rose up and started fighting CDG. They kept fighting and the Lucianos expanded. After that the Auditore Family was born along with the first incarnation of The Lucero Family. Now Carlo Gambino left the Luciano family after a short while and made his own Gambino Family, while at the same time Bruno Auditore created the Auditore Family, and started underestimating Carlo's leadership capabilities and started threatening him, Carlo got the commission together and alongside Luciano and CDG he fought off Auditore until they completely vanished.

GOLDEN YEAR (early 2012 - late 2012)

At this point in time the mafia was at a peak in era numerous families were active and operating throughout era. The families were Mangano, Sanchez, Luciano, Gambino, Tangliano, Castelanno, Ritano, Lucchese, Gravano, Lucero along with many others. During this time many wars were fought against the cartels which included CDG, CJNG , Montana Management Company and the creation of Flores Family by Eli Flores, who currently led CJNG but passed it on to his real life friend, Ramz.

MODERN TIMES (early 2013 to early 2014)

Fast forward again, this time about one month and the Gravanos have fallen. Bulldogg Lucero steps in and creates the Lucero Family out of the Gravanos' wreckage. The Cicero Family is created soon after Paulie Cicero and Tommy De Vito. The Five Families of Era now flourish together in peace. They are The Fellari Family, The Luciano Family, The Gambino Family, The Lucero Family, and the Cicero Family. After a period of peaceful interactions between the family Gambino family becomes inactive along with the Fellari family, consequently the commission falls into decline. A few months later a guy that most know as a unsuccessful brat suffering schizophrenia Lokki (Frankie Genovese) formed The Genovese Family and Allied with a gang of muscle Capones. The dominated era mafia during this time of early 2014 wiping out many of their rivals including the Mangano Family. Lokki's reign gained the attention of many of the old Dons, such as Mike Luciano and Carlo Gambino and As a result Lokki was hated and outcasted by the era mafia community. Some time later the old families of Gambino, Lucchesse, Luciano, Ritano, Mangano are over. A new breed of mobsters join the mix a fill in the spots left behind by the other dons. The current families are now The Rizzuto Family, The Vincino Family and the Camorra Family.

DARK TIMES (early 2014 - early 2015)

These were the dark times, in which the Mafia still is in, where many older Dons, such as Gambino, Ritano, Sanchez, Luciano, Lucero, all have been inactive and there were almost literally no new families to replace them at the time, and the mafia fell behind big on the Flores reign as they were one off the few active. Dons such as Ritano and Gambino went from active to inactive sometimes, making it nearly impossible for the mafia to coexist. So one day in late 2014, there was someone hanging out in the Hotel Docks (left of Hotel), it was Cereal A. Harway, alongside his friends, Andro, Manny and Gallardo. They have formed the Harway Mafia to patrol and protect the docks are their official territory, specifically from the cartels. And the semi-retired godfather himself, Bulldogg Lucero, was at Astro Club. There, he met Blake Lucero, and had a nice conversation with him. He saw Blake as strong, wise, loyal, and full of courage. As a result, Bulldogg offered Blake a spot in his family, in which Blake, in return, accepted the offer and became an official made man in Lucero. Does this mean there is still hope for the mafia? With this new family, Harway, and this new trusted rookie Blake Lucero, who has potential to help get Lucero back on its feet? There's just one way to find out, beginning in 2015.

THE GILDED AGE (early 2015 - late 2015)

The dark times were ongoing for a while and the mafia required a big change to get back on foot, with many legends gone such as Joe Luciano, Carlo Gambino and Toast Sanchez, it seemed as if there was no way the mafia will return to its former glory. Therefore, starting in mid-2015, the mafia has become more active than ever, and this time, the mafia-cartel war has become a lot bigger, and a lot darker than it was before. This was the time when the Tattaglia Family, was founded, by Bruno Tattaglia. One of the first few families from 2010 that was still active is Ritano, but ended up dying after a few weeks. New families have come to take their place such as Tattaglia Family, Harway Mafia, Profaci Family, Cuneo Family, and Deluca Family. At this period is also when Duncan Black, the founder of the Black Dragon Syndicate, becomes a big part of the turf wars. Era's in a split war, with the Luchiero Clan teaming up with the cartels for supremacy against the Tattaglia Family, both sides are at a even war. Tattaglia's numerous times on invading Southridge has always resulted in huge wars, and the cartels attempts on holding back, Tattaglia is at a even stand point. With Mike Camorra, the boss of Camorra now joining the fight alongside Tattaglia in the invasion for Southridge, things have definitely escalated. Meanwhile, Vinnie M. Profaci found himself in a situation where there were other gangs that could help him and his goals for the Profaci Family. The new alliances were being formed with Tattaglia to help fight the cartels, and as well as anyone associating with the cartels. Because unfortunately now, Lucero has become allies with the cartels, making it more difficult for the mafia scene to respect Lucero anymore. The Northridge Commission originally consisted of Tattaglia, Cuneo, Camorra, Perez, and Leone, but later on due to some of the gangs going inactive, the commission then became Tattaglia, Cuneo, Profaci, Harway, and DeLuca. Tattaglia controlled Chinatown and Northwest, Cuneo controlled Eastridge (excluding Mercy East), Profaci controlled the Lucky Charm, and DeLuca controlled Mercy East and Regency Theatre. The cartels would still colonize Southridge, as it was their main territory, and where they were particularly active in, but would occasionally attack Chinatown and start teasing Tattaglia members, or attack the Lucky Charm and do the same to Profaci. But then Flores and CJNG would lose to several wars and shootouts, and would mostly win the Southridge wars. Ending 2015 here, Eli and Ramz decided, that Southridge belongs to the cartels, and would do anything to stop Tattaglia or any other mafia trying to take the territory from theirs.

PRIME TIME (early 2016 - mid 2016)

There has been many wars fought between the La Cosa Nostra and the Cartel/Sureño factions. The mafia is returning to its prominent power with new outsiders joining Mafioso ranks. Northern Cosa Nostra has taken back control over Northridge, pushing all non-Mafioso out of the areas around North. This new flourishing alliance is, Tattaglia, Harway, Cuneo, Profaci, Leone, DeLuca and Camorra, plus the old Mafia Family Castillo being reborn by the hands of Sonny Rizzuto, which they now side with CJNG. Blake Lucero was officially declared the godfather of Lucero, ever since he gained Bulldogg's trust to lead Lucero, and to do whatever he must for his family. With Eli Flores retired (or inactive, at least, after being jailed for a long time) and Flores Family back into the hands of its true owners, TBM Flores has emerged as the leader of the cartels. Being the new face of Flores, TBM has made changes in the way things are done, considering his much more aggressive style than that of Eli. Is it effective? Time will tell.

The Northridge Commission have taken control of certain parts of Southridge. Winning back to back wars around South, these parts are: .29 Fashion Shop, Aimpoint which is now owned by the Cosa Nostra families, and Potluck Pig being owned by Tattaglia. Harway's Hotel Docks was lost in a war against Flores and CJNG with Harway losing. Many war offers have been offered to leader of the CJNG cartel faction and has denied many of these war offers into the fight on getting the local Hotel and Docks back into the hands of the mob. Another war was an attempt by the Cartels executing a Cuneo member causing the violence to escalate soon after Tattaglia resorted to calling up their "new buddies", Menace2Society (a basing gang which has no connection to the mob whatsoever). The war itself war eight hours long, deemed the "Box Factory Massacre" by Nv.

The cartels have imploded due to numerous arguments between the Castella Cartel Family and Flores Cartel Organization. CJNG, FCO, Flores Family (the tag now taken back from Tattaglia ownership), and Castillo have teamed up against Castella. With CCF's allies abandoning them, it begs the question, "what is next for Caballo?" Tattaglia and Castillo have been at war since Castillo returned. The feud grows larger and larger by the day, however, this skirmish has become greater than merely "mafias vs cartels," due to the recent implosion of the cartels. It looks a lot more like Castella Cartel Family vs FCO/Flores/CJNG/Castillo vs Tattaglia/Cuneo/Harway. Pretty interesting, huh? Tattaglia members have been performing hit-and-runs on Castillo and Castella, and Castella has done the same back to Tattaglia and Cuneo. But Sonny Rizzuto, being a seasoned pro at the mob tactics, knows better and saves the energy of his men for true wars, rather than little "street fights."

Not many things have been happening too much lately, the Cartel alliance is almost broken. Its a great sight to see the mafia returning to its former glory. Castella Cartel Family have broken and been failing at what they do and are starting to come more and more in active. Lucero has been reborn again. Kyle Lucero coming back out of retirement and claiming turfs which have already been taken without war. Castillo have been silent as always and Sonny being the "seasoned pro" he is, sits back and does nothing to allow his family to grow, in also losing their crew, the "Cormick Crime Family," led by Michael, or "M.B.," or "Mr. Bro." With TBM Flores as the new face of Flores and to his aggressive style nothing interesting has come out of him as he arose as the " new face of the cartels ". Being the individual tough person he is, it seems as if he has lack in leadership qualities with gangs. After having experienced many gangs, Luis Musitano forms his own gang, the Musitano Crime Family, and becomes allies with Tattaglia, and anyone else siding against the cartels. Musitano has had a reputation of being one of the strongest families during this period, despite having a load of toxic members.

A conflict between CJNG and Castella begins, with Flores backing up CJNG for the most part. After so many arguments and so much selfishness coming from Patron Castella, it felt as if a civil war has been launched between these factions. Ramz felt as if Patron always wanted to do things his way, and wanted to lead the cartel way his style. A war was launched because of this, and Flores and CJNG rightfully destroying Castella, the gangs have not interacted or been in contact in any way for a while ever since.

BeachBar Stories - This is where the BeachBar stories begin. Starting off with The Camorra Family, which mentioned previously, was originally a mafia, and was apart of The Northridge Mafia. They were strong allies with Tattaglia, as Bruno and Dylan had close ties with each other. Unfortunately though, Camorra was no longer wanting the constant shootouts and wars against Southridge anymore. Instead, Camorra completely cut ties off with the Cosa Nostra families, got rid of their ranks, and officially became a cartel. They switched sides and became allies with Flores and CJNG. Camorra was now active in BeachBar alongside their closest ally, Perez. BeachBar was now like a chemical gunfight with the impressive amount of chem users in Camorra and Perez, both actively surrounding BeachBar.

Perez has returned, yet again. Daniel C. Perez brought it back almost instantly, and formed strong alliances with Camorra and Lucero. There's new tensions growing with Perez and Cuneo, seeing as Daniel owning Car Dealership which is on the border line of the supposed Cuneo turf. No war has sprung out of both families yet but soon time will tell of what the outcome will be with both families. The whole right side of South has been taken into Tattaglia hands with BeachBar being the compound for Tattaglia. Flores and allies (CJNG, Castillo, South Ridge Family) made numerous attempts at reclaiming BeachBar but only succeeded once. The cartels had reclaimed Beach Bar which sadly only lasted a couple days. Tattaglia had become extremely active, having many 'ready-to-war' new recruits (mostly new players recruited at the start area) at hand making war a challenge for the cartels. Montana Management Co had returned from absence to take aim at Tattaglia. After recruiting some cartel members, they were about to strike when Tattaglia caught them in the Lucero Houses, " by a small gang called 'Elite Savages'. Tattaglia jumped the boss of Castillo, Sonny Castillo, who had an MMC tag on, thus striking war between Tattaglia and MMC. Tattaglia showed complete dominance over MMC by slaughtering them. It was so bad MMC tried calling Flores for help, the few Flores that showed were slaughtered as well.  The very next day, Tattaglia had done the same thing but this time with Flores.  They jumped a CJNG rank found on their turf to lure more cartels in so they could be slaughtered, which was not successful for the Tattaglia Family.

Tattaglia was at advantage over Flores for a while, as Flores was just not the same without Eli. They had the same ranks, same structure, but it wasn't as big as it was beforehand. Cuneo was always there to support Tattaglia whenever they needed it, against the cartels, since Cuneo had almost just as much power as Tattaglia did. Carmine would teach his members how to spar, and help train them however anyway during a shootout or war. Lil' Bill "Malacoda" Cuneo was most recognizable in this as he was the Consigliere, and around this time, Joey "Medieval" Cuneo had just become a capo for Cuneo, recruiting for associates and soldiers whilst helping Reniell "Small Boss" Cuneo, Sabre "Crime" Cuneo, and Pyro "Acutus" Cuneo. Meanwhile, the 3K alliance was having some issues, specifically with Harway. While Profaci was growing, as Vinnie led his gang very organized, and felt more like a military branch than an actual mob, with the help of his dons Sunken and Joey Profaci. DeLuca was doing okay as Sonny was leading his gang like he felt he should've, alongside his trusted ranks Beast "Mando" DeLuca, Venoma, Dark W. and Blertii, despite being a bit smaller than Profaci. But Harway on the other hand, was a dead ant compared to Profaci and DeLuca. Cereal was thinking about his choices, and what he might do with the commission, and for his family.

The Northridge Commission was reminded about a new large gang being formed. When members of Tattaglia and Harway end up getting jumped by a new gang by the name of "Uptown Riders", Tattaglia members quickly notice that the gang has close ties with Flores and CJNG, and then more is looked into it. Apparently, the leader, Tyler P. Rider, was trained by Dylan P. Camorra, and originally worked for him, as Uptown Riders was a sub tag for The Camorra Family when it was first founded. Tyler knew he could pull off so many things just by constantly teasing, trash-talking, and taunting Tattaglia members. Because of this, he was considered the most hated player in the turf wars community. Uptown Riders in general, was extremely despised due to the impressive toxicity and cyberbullying coming from Tyler and his members. It was also the impressive power that Uptown Riders had that made them so hated, though. They had more members with EC weapons than any other gang, yes including Camorra. They had many members with chemical guns, electric staffs, water staffs, flamethrowers, ion weapons, etc. Hence why they ended up winning so many wars against the Cosa Nostra families. Tyler has mentioned that the toughest war they have ever been in was Uptown Riders ALONE (no allies) against Tattaglia, Harway, and Musitano. Interestingly enough though, most of these former Uptown members, would soon join mafia gangs in the future, and became completely different than how they were in Uptown Riders......

THE HEAT IS ON (late 2016 - late 2017)

Nate Mori Lucero, after a year-long period of inactivity, has returned to Era. Taking the throne from Blake Lucero, Nate became the godfather of the Lucero crime family, albeit Antonio Lucero was next in-line for the throne. The family worked well for some time until things began to fall apart due to Nate being unprofessional, being inexperienced as a leader, and more. Whether it be blaming a loss in war on his "lag" or allying his own enemy whilst oblivious to who they were, Nate did it all. This caused a stir within the family causing members to leave. Sonny and Dom broke away from Lucero to work together on a new family centered around making money, a family that doesn't care much about warring other mafias and is trying its best to stay neutral with most other mobs. That family is the DiNapoli family. Things went well between DiNapoli and Lucero until Dom began to accuse Nate of failing to run Lucero with the ideals held by the founder, Bulldogg, which led Dom to put a price on Nate's head, a hit fulfilled by Blake Lucero. This was seen as treasonous by Nate purely because it was family going against family, but Dom, being the former Boss of all Bosses and Godfather of Lucero, saw it as a fight of right versus wrong given the fact that he had major disagreements with the way Nate was running his family and ruining the Lucero name. Many newer Luceros side with Nate in this 'civil war', and many of the older Luceros (Sonny, Antonio, Blake, and others) side with Dom and are willing to do anything to fix the trauma the family's experiencing. Hits are constantly being slapped on each other by Nate and Dom, many of Nate's hitmen being unsuccessful. Soon after all this chaos ensued, Nate proceeded to step down from the position of Godfather, which led to the Luceros taking a vote for a new leader. Dom was chosen unanimously and ascended, once again, to the throne of Godfather of Lucero with Nate now working for him. Now from last week or so a coup was attempted within Flores as Cupid Flores attempted to change the ways of Flores Family, by trying to take power from tbm flores for "A better Flores".

Meanwhile, the 3K alliance completely broke apart. As Harway backstabbed Profaci, stole their members, and declared war on them at the Golden Hearts Casino. Vinnie has trusted Cereal for so long, and he was surprised to see this happen. The war lasted about two hours while Harway was unprepared for the brutal outcome put up by Profaci. Profaci ended up securing the casino after the chaos. Harway was declared an official enemy to Profaci, but it was later stated by Cereal and Andro that it was nothing personal, Harway just needed to grow. Harway and Profaci were really close but as soon as Harway leaves the 3K and becomes enemies with Profaci and DeLuca, they become the most powerful family in Northridge, even outnumbering Tattaglia in member count. Sonny becomes angry and tried his damnest to do what he could to destroy Harway, and trying to make several Harway members leave. This attempt to make Harway fall apart, failed though. As two weeks later, DeLuca fell apart, became a defunct family, and Sonny died off, completely ghosting everybody. For Cereal, though, it was worth it, for getting his family in power, and as it should be. Now a lot of new ranks have joined, including Ali, Venoma (Green), Nuke, Kaylee, Matt, Oreo, Lance, and Robb. All whom which become close friends with Cereal, and some being close to the daughters of Harway, Juliet and Moo, as well as the admin, Koda. Cinque would usually get on most of the ranks' nerves.

BeachBar Stories - A lot has changed in BeachBar since 2016, with Dylan P. Camorra still active, finds himself in a conflict against his own brother's family, Perez. Camorra and Perez both become enemies and three wars were caused between the two former-allied families. This time, Tattaglia backs up Camorra, as Bruno has always been closer to Dylan. Husk Camorra creates the gang "BeachBar" not only as respect and a tribute to The Camorra Family, but also to remind Uptown Riders is still doing the same, and being the most toxic bullies imaginable, whilst being active in BeachBar. However, there was this one member from Uptown Riders in particular who was not only close with Uptown Riders, but also with Camorra and Perez; Cruz. And despite being a shy introvert who isn't really communicative with his peers, he still seems to be very toxic and have the guts to talk massive load of trash to Tattaglias, Luceros, and Harways, specifically Tattaglias. Cruz joins Camorra in mid-2017 and learns a lot from the BeachBar wars. He was one of Camorra's stop sparrers and beat Brujo Tattaglia in the BBar spar room. In Camorra, he meets Ali Harway, who is a long-time friend of Dylan's and a rank in BeachBar (Husk's gang). The cartels also seem to gain a lot of activity in BeachBar lately, and did a great job at helping keep Tattaglia out of the territory.

With the Lucero Civil War at hand it has weakened the foundations of what Lucero used to be, a family built on respect, honour and loyalty. Tragically not living up to their name anymore. And Harway has become a huge threat to Profaci, despite it only being business. On the other side of things, Eli Flores has returned to see what Flores has become. A laughing stock. TBM Flores lost the respect of all the original Flores members who were loyal to the Flores name so they left to join back into the leadership of Eli. TBM knowing this is becoming a bad time for him, Tattaglia, CJNG and Guadalajara (Eli's new group) agreed to a temporary alliance to eliminate the new Flores generation. There was a small short lived war which eventually resulted in peace and Flores coming back together.

A few months after the Harway-Profaci conflict, and Profaci losing activity, Harway decides to make things go a LOT more to the next level. Not only does Harway take pride in breaking the 3K alliance, for the sake of their power and growth, but it turns out Cereal had arranged private meetings with the cartel bosses-Eli and Ramz. And in these meetings, they were discussing and planning about how they were going to destroy Tattaglia, and sent spies to Tattaglia. Just like in the Profaci wars though, Cereal had his reasons to do this. First off, he felt as if Bruno was trying to control Harway whenever they were allied, and try to act as if he was in charge of everything, and being in full control of the commission. In other words, Cereal felt as if Bruno was only using him-Cereal felt threatened. This is why he made these meetings with Eli and Ramz, as well as making sure he marked Tattaglia as an official target. For some people, this wasn't all that surprising. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Even while they were allies, sometimes Tattaglia and Harway would end up having some sort of beef, and arguments going on between both families. It wasn't long after this, where there was a Tattaglia Vs Harway war at hotel docks, which lasted six hours total. This was even longer than the 4-hour Tattaglia Vs Flores War for Southridge back in 2015. New ranks like Aiden had joined, whom had recently left Lucero after Blake departed from his position as godfather, and Nate taking over. Although he was very close friends with Salvatore "Sam" Dimaccano, they have a history of joining gangs against each other. Sam was in Tattaglia while Aiden was in Uptown Riders and Lucero. And just as they become enemies with Tattaglia, he even joins Harway under Floyd. Cruz on the other hand, also joins Harway after Camorra going inactive, and Ali rejoining back as well. Castella returns to being allies with Flores and CJNG.

A NEW ERA - (early 2018 - mid 2018)

A lot has changed since the new year many new gangs have come and gone. Tattaglia going inactive and not there to pull the strings to keep everything in place, cartels rose up and took power. For awhile they reigned as Adrian Flores, Patron Castella and Ramz lead wars on the hood/street gangs claiming their turf. Tattaglia are back now and things are back to normal. Would be pretenders have been pushed back off their temporary throne. Tattaglia and Mangano had a all out war at the front of hotel docks, the fight was bloody but Santez were the victors against the old and infamous Samuele Mangano. The cartel alliance has broken apart due to Flores and Castella pointing false lies to the leader of CJNG. What will be of this new alliance with Tattaglia, Santez, Camorra, and CJNG?

With the former head of the Lucero crime family Blake Lucero losing respect from his own family, and Vito Battistelli as the new trusted underboss under Nate, what will Era's fate be and will Vito fulfill his promise for every family their will be glory or will time and a certain person be his undoing? With Vito Battistelli's incompetence and unwillingness to face the truth that is in front of him the Insane Lucero suck-up as he's been referred to has forced his senior captain to declare civil war on the basis of Vito's insanity and incompetence also the cardinal rule of the mafia was broken by Vito Battistelli  to never bring a cop into a mafia family how has the civil war been going for Vito very badly because of the repeated lies mistakes and broken promises and rules by Vito Battistelli and his regime in Lucero a regime change is in effect, how will the second Lucero Civil War conclude many speculate that it will end in Battistelli's defeat and his rogue reputation getting the better of him. Time is Truly Ticking away on Vito Battistelli's reign as of Lucero bringing Blake Lucero back from a comfortable retirement because he was on the jagged edge of defeat Vito Bastelli still believes that he is winning  but his incompetence and insane state of mind and rogue reputation are getting the better of him he will face the music and reap what he has sowed in time  Blake Lucero has abandoned Vito Battistelli's Campaign to keep himself in power as the reality of his fall will undoubtedly hit Vito like a emotionally charged hammer. With Vito Battistelli and his supposed support in Lucero rotting away desperate Vito Battistelli and his supposed supporters in Lucero attempt another failed almost three hour war with a losing effort by Vito and the retired Blake Lucero at hopscotch station and the hotel  after the three hour hopscotch massacre, the Luceros supporting Vito Battistelli like their cowardly boss ran away from the truth that is utter defeat. The Second Lucero Civil War was going smoothly for Vito's former senior captain but Vito Battistelli still believes that he can pull off victory but in reality he has dug himself a hole which he can't even fathom getting out of. After a brazen attack on the Golden Hearts Casino, Lucero lost to the Tattaglia family then Blake Lucero tried yet again to get the Tattaglia houses back under Lucero control again both offensives fail and in a matter of time Blake Lucero will be dethroned and Tattaglia will be rewarded with rightful vengeance against the old Lucero family with Lucero under him and him alone it's just a matter of time. With Lucero being handed defeat after defeat many Within Lucero and others Question Blake Lucero's Sanity and Frame of mind also Specifically His God awful Poor Leadership. Another defeat was handed down to Lucero and Nate and Company personally but soon they will disappear into obscurity. Another defeat at 187 Guns was yet again given to Blake Lucero and  the old Lucero family. Lucero is in retreat and Vito Battistelli and Nate Lucero are having desperate delusions of victory over Tattaglia, even going as far as to call them raving lunatics with impossible ambitions.

Sooner or later, the Battistelli Crime Family was formed, though. When Vito becomes greedy and wants something of his own after parting ways with Lucero, he instantly takes Joshua Battistelli (Enzo) as his don. As he usually does too, Vito has also flirted with various girls, but then in his mind, he found the perfect one for him-Lily, who was godmother of the family. After Lucero falls apart, it seemed as if there were rarely any other families around, with Tattaglia slowly going inactive and the cartels losing activity as well. Later on after the foundation of The Battistelli Family, Lucero dies. With Blake now banned and vanished from his former family, meanwhile Dom and Nate go inactive, the community slowly ends up dying yet again. Vinnie retires, quits and gives The Godfather position to his most loyal member, Joey Profaci, but it was only a matter of time until Joey quits and Profaci is officially declared dead. Cuneo dies off as Lil' Bill cannot be on Era anymore so he just closes up the family not too long after Carmine retires, and moves on from Era. Ramz closes CJNG, and Patron quits yet again. The only cartel around was Flores, which wasn't too impressive considering Adrian was the new boss. After Lucero's departing of the turf wars community, it was primarily only Tattaglia and Harway doing back and forth hits on each other, and starting shootouts with each other, It was like Harway was the new Flores for Tattaglia, hell they put up more of a fight than Flores now due to Adrian being incompetent and unsurprisingly relying more on the usual immature trash-talking and toxicity than the actual fighting and warring. Harway begins to recruit former CJNG members such as Teddy, Nikita "La 86" Romanov, Jasper, Monsta, Moli, Joun, Lil Spooky (former SRF rank), ScaryMofo, and some former Castella members. Tattaglia despite winning some, and losing some, definitely gets outnumbered and outmatched for these wars for the most part, especially the docks wars. The only ally backing up Tattaglia was Santez, as Johnny Santez has always been there for Bruno. But it still just doesn't cut it.

BeachBar Stories - A couple things change in BeachBar, with Camorra and Perez now dead, and the only family worthy to patrol the turf is Husk's "BeachBar". Uptown Riders dies off, as so many of their members have left and moved onto joining mafia families. The ones that sticked with Tyler, however, went to help him create a new basing gang, Revolve (Having absolutely nothing to do with turf wars). Vito Battistelli has always feared Uptown Riders, so of course it would make sense that he would still always try to get Tyler involving himself in turf wars, and rightfully so, Tyler would back up Battistelli and sometimes even other gangs that would call Revolve to help them in a war they need desperate support in. And yes, Tyler has stated he never once cared for Vito, the only reason he agreed to back his wars up was because Vito paid him trochus for the great firepower of EC weaponry. Fiji, a gang believed to be never heard of becomes a big gang with enough firepower to colonize Fiji Beach (beach below mall on the right) This time, Sinaloa Empire makes a big rise, with the leader Tompson, being hungry for wars against Tattaglia and anyone trying to patrol BeachBar or Fiji Beach.

Tattaglia officially becomes the most hated family in Era, and after such a long time of being so, they finally realize this. Bruno announces that Tattaglia will go through a name change now that their reputation has gone down a lot since late 2017. It wasn’t long after though that they went back to their original name, Tattaglia. But they died off after a few weeks, and Tattaglia was officially declared dead. Soon after some time though, Salvatore Dimaccano forms The Dimaccano Family and recruits most of his long time friends, most of which were Tattaglia. On December, they raid the wooden docks (docks above water park), and begin a war against a German Neo-Nazi gang known as “The New Order”. Their leader, Wilhelm Altenhofen, gets jumped by Sam and Kusho T. a day later, and their tag gets disbanded due to nazism and anti-semitism.

However, it seems as if the biggest gangs still active were Dimaccano and Sinaloa. Sam describes Tompson as an “incompetent, yellow, no-good, fat loser”. This was understandable since Tompson was a trusted Tattaglia rank who helped the family, but only to his own advantage. So in a way, he used Tattaglia. According to other former mafia dons, Tompson did this to every family he was apart of, (Harway, Musitano, Lucero, etc.) but it hit Tattaglia harder than anyone. He bought Woody the MetalStorm, bought Brujo the Vulcan Minigun, and attempted buying don from Bruno. Sam could never forgive his behavior, so he went to war with Sinaloa at StormV Island.

After a long time of inactivity, Duncan Black has returned to Era, this time with the alias “Duncan B. Lorenzo” and forms the Lorenzo Crime Family. In this new family, he has created a huge power structure, with many members with EC weapons, and plasma weapons. It seemed as if Lorenzo was the new top family. With taking Slayer and Dunn R. Deus as his primary dons, but other legendary mobsters like Matt Harway, Billy Berserk, Wesson Tattaglia, Aiden R. Harway, Cruz D. Harway, Green D. Harway, Blake Musitano, Nova Crimson, Andy VaCosta, and Sunken Profaci as Lorenzo ranks. So this means Duncan has gotten on very good terms with many former Uptown Riders members. At StormV Island, Lorenzo goes to war with Sinaloa, and absolutely destroy them. Tompson denies the loss and claims the W is for Sinaloa, but was exposed as Lorenzo members showed the screenshots that proved they won the LMS war. There was also the Buccieri Family that came along which was formed by Torrio Buccieri, and went to war with Dimaccano, Lorenzo, Apollyon, and Mytho. Torrio being immature, was claiming he won wars against Dimaccano, But was then exposed by Aiden R. Harway and there was a full video uploaded on YouTube where the facts turn out to be mixed up. Ever since then, Torrio disappeared, and The Buccieri Family extinguished.

THE ISLAND WARS (late 2018 - early 2019)

As time progresses, it seems as if the only factions alive are Lorenzo, Apollyon, Dimaccano, Sinaloa, The New Order, when they got their gang up and running again even after being disbanded, and a soon-to-be-dead Battistelli, due to Vito Battistelli being incompetent and strongly disliked by the community; but for good reasons. Vito Battistelli recently showed an inappropriate image to Rosa, who was disgusted and uncomfortable by Vito's actions, and former Tattaglia members who are now in Lorenzo, taunt Vito for this. Meanwhile, The New Order was having its own problems-while getting ambushed by Dimaccano at wooden docks due to being "fascists". They were also targeted by the cop gang Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which was around since 2017 but had recently came to light due to its growth and activity. Things go a lot more south for The New Order once they are targeted by Sinaloa, being attacked at StormV Island. Then getting constantly jumped and raided by FBI, and the leader Johnson S. taunting their members. The leaders of The New Order were Wilhelm Altenhofen, Nat, Levi, and Nova Crimson. Nova, as mentioned earlier, had connections to Lorenzo, hence why they were neutral, but only for the moment. Nova decides to take a step further, and meets someone by the name of "Vito Corleone", down in Astro Club, and tells him to join The New Order, in which Vito in return accepts. He is there for a temporary time before he realizes how ignorant and weird the Neo-Nazi gang really was, but he still stayed simply because of PKs. It wasn't until on February 2019 where Nova leaves the gang, joins Lorenzo, and Lorenzo goes to war with The Altenhofen Organization (TNO's new gang name). Altenhofen gets destroyed and Salvatore Dimaccano convinces Vito Corleone to leave Altenhofen, and Vito agrees. Vito joins Lorenzo and soon enough creates The Corleone Crime Family, which was once led by Sam Dimaccano, when his name was still Sam "Scorpion" Tattaglia. So now, Corleone, Lorenzo and FBI are the official "Anti-Sinaloa Alliance", and start massive wars with Sinaloa in StormV Island and Fiji Beach. This one specific area starts when Tompson goes to Fiji Beach and gets Fiji for support, and to carry Sinaloa. Lorenzo starts raiding the island but sooner or later Revolve, a basing gang created recently by Tyler P. Rider, now goes by the name "ØG Deus", after departing from turf wars, also arrives at the beach, backing up Tompson. It turns out Tompson has paid Tyler a lot of tro that he has gotten over the past year, just so that he could help him for his wars. Meanwhile, Lorenzo does not hesitate and takes on Sinaloa, Fiji, and Revolve. Unfortunately though, Lorenzo did lose this one, as Fiji's and Revolve's support did outmatch Duncan's firepower.

Things were going pretty smoothly for the mafia, as well as Tyler focusing on basing and having his former Uptown ranks in Revolve. The only cartel still around was Castella, which was still being led by Louie Pudz. However, Lorenzo dies out, and then Tattaglia announces a return. Tattaglia comes back with Brujo, Steven, and Sam Dimaccano as the Dons of Tattaglia, Wesson as Sr. Capo, Kusho and Billy Berserk as Capo Regimes, and Stefan as Consigliere. Vito Corleone joins the family, after retiring from leading and taking down Corleone for now. Meanwhile, Tompson is still around being war-hungry and wanting to colonize the islands for Sinaloa. So of course Sam gets his crew and ends up jumping Tompson and some Sinaloa members, provoking a war at Fiji Beach with Fiji unsurprisingly backing Sinaloa up. Both sides claim to have won, with Sam writing “We slaughtered Sinaloa” on his status, and Tompson doing the same writing “We slaughtered Dimaccano” even though it was Tattaglia he fought and not Dimaccano. Sam also tells Tom to spar him but Tom backs out, and there’s huge feud between both sides. A week later Sam changes his status to “Sinaloa Massacre 3/24/2019” and Tompson changes his status to “Tattaglia Massacre 3/24/2019” (At least he actually changed it to Tattaglia this time). Sinaloa goes inactive for a while.

BACK IN ACTION (mid 2019 - late 2019)

After a brief period, Duncan B. Lorenzo returns to Era, and has a nice conversation with good old Don Bullet Tooth Tony, and then decides to revive Lorenzo for the good. Almost everyone joins in from dead mafia gangs, Vito Corleone tells his members to join Lorenzo, and Duncan takes in Dunn R. Deus, Luis Musitano, Sunken Profaci, Aiden R. Harway, Green D. Harway, Billy Berserk, Woody Sonny Tattaglia, Lopez Deus, and becomes allies with Church of Bob, a trolling church-set gang by Cody, who went by Lord Bob, a former Harway rank who had close ties with Crimson, Lorenzo, and Florence. Yet again, Duncan has made his decision to bring back the good old Island and Southridge Wars, and he does so this time. going after the cop gangs that have been countered by FBI-We are Cops/Graal Law Enforcement by The Cool Moon, The UN/Blackguard by Marcus Kieju. They were their only focus for a while despite being very small and weak gangs, mainly because they were countered by BlackWolf Contracting, which was led by Tusky Tapscott. The gangs didn't last long though and ended up getting destroyed by Lorenzo in the meantime.

It is now May, Tompson has returned to Era, and this time is a bit different and weird. He wanted to sell slaves (diggers) to other gang leaders for tro, and even makes a peace treaty with Lorenzo, Corleone, and FBI. Vito Corleone and Johnson S. discuss whether Sinaloa should be an ally, but was decided Tom was not to be trusted after what he did to Tattaglia and Lucero, but also did not want to be enemies with him either, since he kept Vito and Johnson entertained for some time. Later on Sam comes out of retirement and tells Vito to drop Tompson, and to become enemies with him. All of a sudden then everybody wanted Tompson's head; The former Tattaglias, Castella, and Brunetti. But then there was the huge news; Tompson immediately announces he is being arrested for criminal charges, and will go to jail. He immediately quits, and deletes Era-he has been forever gone and not heard of ever since.

Lorenzo has gone inactive again, since Duncan quits yet again. There was a new commission being formed though, which consisted of the top families of Era-DeCavalcante, Corleone, Brunetti, Scaletta, Castella, and FBI. The heads of this commission were Eli DeCavalcante, Vito Corleone, Enzo Brunetti, Lee Scaletta, Louie Pudz, and Johnson S. Their main focus was on ending the cop gangs that were enemies with Johnson for a while; Graal Law Enforcement, Blackguard, Liar Empire, etc. they always won the wars and it was never really necessary to call allies, and it sure was easier for when Rusty Ray Castiglione when he joined the commission after forming The Castiglione Family. Harway had also joined the alliance once they had returned, after Green D. Harway becomes the official Boss of Harway, and is now active again in Harways Docks. Vito Corleone decided this was too easy, and goes to Airport to attack Crazyville, a street gang that was relatively active in Airport. Vito and Dora had history of doing constant hits on each other, and even having a war against each other when Corleone was allied to Dawgg.

It is now October, Vito Corleone has finally created something he has dreamed of for so long-Impresa (Italian translation for "Enterprise"). The commission mentioned previously had died, as Brunetti, Castella, Harway, and DeCavalcante have all gone inactive, so Vito seemed as if he was by himself, but he wasn't. The idea of Impresa was so that gang leaders could emerge and have all of their members be into one, having a system where members could actually vote on certain things and whichever idea gets the most idea is what will happen for the gang, like a democracy. He wanted to do this with Salvatore Dimaccano and Duncan B. Lorenzo, but unfortunately it didn't work out. Most of Lorenzo joined once Duncan had returned yet again, with access to Dunn's account, but Sam had decided to just be a don in Impresa (Vito's member), and things went working out either way even without the original idea of Impresa. With most great and well-known players joining in like Rapid, Brujo Tattaglia, Billy Berserk, Wesson Tattaglia, Wilson Tattaglia, Dunn R. Deus, Aiden R. Harway, Cruz D. Harway, Green D. Harway, Blake Musitano, some Castella members joining, and Vito's most preferred, Chedd. The main focus was to target and go after Crazyville and other hood gangs patrolling around Airport, and it worked for a while. Things were going great until Late December when Bruno announced Tattaglia was making an official return, and this time Steven becomes The Godfather of the family, after serving his time as Don for years. Vito rejoins as Sr. Capo, and makes Impresa into Tattaglia tags instead; Impresa has been Tattaglia ever since. Tattaglia unsurprisingly is now enemies with Castella since they are the last cartel left. Wars lasted for a while and the community seemed to go right back in action.
