Telling It Like It Is... BrickTamland
Hello and welcome again to my article where it's very much based on one thing this week. This subject has been bugging me ever since I knew it existed. None other than self-busting.

Now then, if you're not a buster then I guess this wouldn't really matter to you, however on my current account, this is what I'm trying to become. Back to the point of this. Now I can understand if you are about to log off and you happen to be in jail for attempting a failed bust. If you're about to leave, then I can understand trying to bust yourself quickly in order to have another chance at improving your skills.

But WHY oh why would you self bust in a bust competition for example. Now, I'm not just saying this for my own benefit but it is working as a disadvantage to you if you do that. If you wait in jail for such a situation, you have a chance of being busted out by someone else. However, if you try to self-bust, I maintain it's much harder. On top of that, you are left unbreakable so unless you use 1 point to free yourself, you're stuck. But also, you're in for much more time.

Please tell me, what is the point of that? I maintain it's far better to just keep busting others and then wait for hopefully another to return the favour. It still puzzles me to no end as to why during a bust competition, you would try and self-bust whilst there are twenty other people about.

I'm going to move on though, not getting positive you'll be pleased to here. Bearing in mind the insiding of The Legends, I want to talk about crew names. Now, countless times a crew has been renamed or taken over and change it's name. On a few occasions, they've decided to change it to a name with an apostrophe. Now, it may look great and all but it completely mucks up the spot. It happened to BabyBowser's castle. I want to ask a few questions. One, was it to make it look alright, was it even made because he forgot about the apostrophe buggering up the spot, or was it so that no-one could pick it up if he and his shooter got shot?

I've been thinking, that those who wipe Crews could put the apostrophe in there so it's not possible for the crew taken over to take it back straight away. Maybe I'm thinking too much but that could start to happen. Who knows?
If this was the case or not, wouldn't it be possible for the Elite Guard to implement a block of the apostrophes in crew names. Something that appeared like:
*You are not allowed to use apostrophes in your Crew name
What would you all think? It would save the aesthetic complaints and such.

Not a great load in here this week I'm sure you'll have noticed, but I can assure there'll be more next week. Until then, I bid you adieu.
