Street Kings Short Stay on the Stats! iSmurf
On the 4th of February Bootleggers saw five more crew spots arrive to the stats, Street Kings is one of these lucky news crews to arrive. However, after a short stay, they were thrown off the statistics as fast as they had appeared.

Despite the eventful escapade to grab the five new spots created by BSF2000, Street Kings was able to purchase one of these fresh, clean spots from SirToscyX. The Buzz learnt that it was RedOctoberX who purchased the crew and stands as its boss. We were able to catch up with him and ask a few questions regarding his plans for the crew and opinions on the new crew spots.

Firstly, RedOctoberX told us that despite being classified as the crews the Boss, it was in fact CaptainRuyter and him who had founded Street Kings, although added, “Due to the establishment cap CaptainRuyter lost a lot and almost doesn't play anymore.” RedOCtoberX was then asked how much he purchased the crew from SirToscyX for, to which he said, “2,000 points.” However, he went on to say, “I did offer on other spots, but these offers weren't taken seriously. Later I heard those people sold their spots for much less so that was a pitty.” When asked why he chose to take Street Kings to the stats, he said, “We had been trying several weeks but no crew on the stats was for sale,” RedOctoberX further added, “The upgrade to 15 spots wasn't announced and the chance was there to get the crew to the stats.”

The plans for Street Kings are said to be, “what every crew wants; a nice group of trusted members that are active in the forum and that help the crew with anything.” Nonetheless, RedOctoberX went on to say, “We might want to own Louisiana once again when we are strong enough.”

Finally, when asked on his opinion about the five new crew spots which were made available, RedOctoberX replied, “It made possible for Street Kings to come on the stats, so I guess for us it has been a good update.” Although he then added, “Looking at the game I think 15 crews will be too many. You will see now that 2-3 crews won't be able to build up a strong set of members and a lot of take overs will follow I think.”

The interview ended on an intriguing note of what the future may hold with RedOctoberX being thanked for agreeing to talk to us and the Buzz wished the Street Kings the best of luck.

Unfortunately, however, just as RedOctoberX had predicted at the end of our interview, Street Kings was taken over on the 8th of February and renamed to Rod Still Fails, which was later changed to For Sale and turtles suck.

Street Kings have, reportedly, OptionIsMad to blame for this, as For Sale and turtles suck crews profile displayed some messages sent by OptionIsMad in a threatening manner, “I aint lying, so do what ya want but i can safetly say, if my people see i am dead i can safetly say your crew wil go down.” However, RedOctoberV2 told players in the Game Forum that, “Today Jock from Devils Lair shot me and the successor, the crew dropped to j4ffa. He took the crew, and insulted my members through bm.”

So, is one player’s mistake to blame for Street Kings falling from the stats? Or is it as RedOctoberV2 stated, “I do blame EL for this take over and not only option.” The Buzz approached KillUpdateFails, currently the boss of For Sale and turtles suck, to find out what happened.

KillUpdateFails told us that, “a member of EL was in options oc. He bought the wrong stuff and option kicked him out. The member then sent 3 messages asking to resend the invite and option refused” However, continued to say that it “wasn’t a big deal,” and that OptionIsMad sent some money to the EL member to cover any costs. Then, what followed were the messages displayed on For Sale and turtles suck crews profile, and AlwaysDeadRabbitS being hitlisted.

KillUpdateFails later added that, “j4ffa is an EL member. Jock was the shooter. We took an opportunity.” When asked how many kills it took for them to seize the crews’ spot, KillUpdateFails replied, “I believe it was 2 kills.”

The Buzz would like to thank KillUpdateFails for agreeing to talk with us, and hopes that the conflict will be resolved and put to the past by all players involved.
