The Syndicate Strikes Again QuantumOfIAmAldarion

The past few months we saw The Syndicate attack several crews. This week, the crew continued the shootings, when the shooters Tyr, FramedTree and PMarlow90 attacked The Deadly Alliance. Even though The Syndicate did manage to get the spot previously owned by The Deadly Alliance, it didn’t last that long as haerXLVI dropped the spot by shooting all boss+ accounts. The Bootleggers Buzz had a little chat with BasTS, one of the members of The Syndicate.

Upon the reasons of shooting The Deadly Alliance, a Game Forum topic was made by BasTS, explaining there were two reasons for the attack, “On the one hand they disrespected us by making demands to which they were not entitled to make. Unreasonable ones. This flows out of a lack of respect, which was given to them from us. Second; Abood's actions didn't quite did the relation any good, since no attempt from TDA was taken to explain the situation.” He added, “Mostly the first reason. Second one just sped up the decision to wipe them.”

The Syndicate also reclaimed the New York Bullet Factory, by shooting the holder. BasTS told us this was a matter of respect, “We expect the same level of respect we treat other with, we believed this was not the case. It is a statement that we finished off TDA, since we could've simply asked the BF back. It is not a signal towards other TS-property holding crews, but to the Bootleggers community as a whole, that we expect the same respect as given to you. Make our trust in to a disgrace and expect measures being taken.”

BasTS also said The Syndicate didn’t have any particular plan for the spot, which seems to be the reason why they didn’t particularly make a lot of effort to keep the spot. haerXLVI then dropped the spot by killing all boss+ members. Haer said, “Well the reason is very simple really. I ranked to Don and recently had started to buy bullets again. Yesterday I was bored of being Don. The attack on TS was because Tyr shot chr1s. After I noticed there were only 2 boss+ in the crew so I decided to shoot them also.” He also explained The Deadly Alliance was not involved in the action of him shooting The Syndicate, “The attack had nothing to do with TDA no. I just missed being Don and the shooting we used to do.”

It seems The Syndicate isn’t finished yet, as BasTS said, “There is always action to be expected. We're all around you, part of your crew, your oc-team. We are on your friends list, sit in jail with you.” They proved this point by killing UG members of The Deadly Alliance as well. We yet have to see whether The Deadly Alliance will return, whereas it seems to be almost certain that The Syndicate will strike once again.
