People do not really know the Cosa Nostra story well, they mix facts with fiction.
The original Cosa Nostra was presided and created by Bigrod. Used to be a Shadow Family gang earlier, as Rod and SG used to be close. At some point, JUDGES and MOB separated to be to different entities.
Cosa Nostra consisted of Bigrod, and numerous other players for most of it's existence. Shadowdoc (current name?), both kids, Blackpanther, Nargul (witless) if I am not mistaken, and a few others. Fall 2007, Bigrod bought a baby gang, 11 or 12 slots (do not remember) wich was to be part of the MOB family, Cosa Nostras. This sub-gang was led by Atrain, Styxriver, and Blackwidow. A few still playing ALers started there (Acooper, me, Eff, vidar01, EriktheRed).
At some point early 08' or december 07 (can't remember), Rod tought about retiring, as the game grew boring on him, gang managing was getting annoying and overall determination he was getting from his allies / members was not as high as his could be. At some point in the meantime, Shadowdoc left for SVs, and the gang was disbanded. It was turned by SVs to some sub-gang for a while, VILAINS Minions, wich was led for a long time by WARHAMMER. This gang saw growing some bad seeds like Slim, or people like Canosoup. (later on the gang was bouth by Rod) This gang is lost now, or at least I don't know anymore wich one it is.
Cosa Nostras (the sub-gang) survived for a while, but had no impact on the AL community. Bigrod and nargul joined for a while, to help out the changing administration and carry on the MOB name. At some point it was given to Styxrivers and some associates that wanted to revamp the gang, with turn to SOldiers of Fortune for a while before they went inactives, and blah. It died. (the gang was sometime bought by Acooper as Valhalla's sub gang, Valgrind, then ValgrindGBZ)
Rod travelled after, Shadows, DM, 3 man pvp gang, and DM again, and 2 man gang with me, in spring 2008, wich we called Cosa Nostra again and MOB was back.
Then, really early summer, he joined Warhammer / Slim (in the gang now morphed to QC Legion (family gang that did not work out))and made Cosa Nostra again, over there. Troops and most networking was in place already, and Rod had found a financial ally that could provide him support, and total dedication.
Not long after, wanting even more power, he bought DM. Awesomo moved to SVs.
Cosa Nostra got his peak of slots, hideout, and investments, but lacked dedicated manpower. Worked a few months, allied itself with SVs for a while. Rod was offered spots from many gangs.
Fall 08, he retired in a hospitalization frenzy many still remember.
MOB with it. |
