The Family: Crew Takeover or Crew War? DawnButterfly
A surprise came to the shooters of The Family early Tuesday afternoon when the crew was dropped to Azuke, a banned account. Sparks flew in the Game Forum of players who insisted that the banned account shouldn’t be able to hold a crew. They claimed the reason the crew was dropped to a banned account was from a bug. Spaceeh intervened with the following quote. “There's no bug. You can be temporary banned with a casino and not lose your property and you can be permanently banned with a casino and keep your property until the appeal is decided whether to approve or deny (approved and you keep it, denied and it drops). How is this any different?”


Seeing how the complaining players where in The Order, the Buzz went to bigpapav2, and asked for comments. After a couple of pestering bootmails, he finally told us that The Family had an insider in The Order who hard kicked several members, the members eventually being shot. The Order turned to an unspecified State Don to shoot at members of The Family. The crew eventually dropped to Azuke, the banned account. Causing The Family’s legacy to live on.

The Buzz contacted BusinessBouL, a member of The Family during the time of the takeover, for comments. He told us that the crew attacked The Order semi-randomly. The Order was chosen for the attack because of another members personal dislike for that crew. Secondly, he told us that The Family really has no plans on staying on the stats page for long. Their purpose is to shoot, own, have fun, and die. We also asked him about bigpapav2’s comments on The Family having an insider within The Order. His reply was a wink. “That’s a secret, I cannot tell you.”
