The Ups and Downs of the Nevada State Don! iSmurf
Nearing the end of the week, we saw Ronariom become the latest State Don for Nevada, as the spot was cleared earlier as iSilverPearl was killed as a consequence to his killing spree. However, this didn’t stay in Ronarioms hands for long, as we saw him fall for its next victor, TigerTrapIII. We caught up with both, Ronariom, now known as Ronariomv1, and TigerTrapIII.

The Buzz luckily caught up with Ronariom as soon as he became Nevada’s State Don, before he knew anything of the bullets which we hurtling towards him from KHv29, a member Gentlemen or Fortune. At the time he told us, in an excited fashion, “Never thought I made it this far. But my new approach works out verry well. I used be a member of TDA, Yakuza, Angels of Death , The Legacy, and a few others.” He then added, “But everytime I joined a crew I got killed because a crewmember did something stupid.” It seems that his prophecy was correct, as he was killed due to a feud between The Black Birds and Gentlemen of Fortune. When we caught up with him after he was killed, he stated, “I had nothing to do with this. So I'm pissed off that they killed me, since I joined TBB less then 4 hours.” It would appear a crew was the reason for his downfall, perhaps he should’ve stuck to his beliefs that crews would get him killed and he’d still be State Don today. Ronariom, who reached State Don in 340 OC’s, previously told us that he planned to, “Trying to keep on ranking people in the game. And I hope I can join a crew. I miss the crew feeling.” This, “crew feeling” seemed to have condemned him, and now, instead of celebrating his promotion, he is searching the forums for his killer and is driven for revenge, “The people responsible will not every play bl very long, ill make sure of that.” Ronariom’s told us his wish as State Don was to, “help others!” Our only hope is that he lived his short reign by what he said to us previously, “So as long as it last, I’ll enjoy it!”

Ronariom’s position was quickly seized by TigerTrapIII, who we approached instantly in case he too only had a short reign. Firstly, TigerTrapIII apologised to the Buzz that the interview may not be up to his usual standards because he, “had been drinking.” We started off the interview by asking TigerTrapIII how it felt to become Nevada’s State Don, despite his previous drinking worries, he replied with a lively answer, “It is an amazing story actually. I have never been a State Don before, and it has been a goal of mine for quite sometime now to become one. Out of all of the nine states, Nevada is the one I have always wanted to be the State Don of. I don't know why exactly, but over a year ago, someone once asked me if I could be the State Don of any state, which one would it be? I said Nevada. Surprisingly, Nevada was the only state I had a choice of picking. I was thrilled!” We then asked how many OC’s he took him to reach State Don, to which he said, “It took me 337 ocs to make it. This is much higher than normal I am told, but with all of the bans going on at State Don and Nation Don, it is holding up all of the L. Dons from ranking.” He then continued to say, “There is one L. Don I know of who has over 350 organized crimes completed, yet, he is still an L. Don due to the traffic.”

Unfortunate that it must be for the hard-ranking Legendary Dons out there, TigerTrapIII was one of the lucky ones. So, we continued with the interview by asking if he had any plans, to which he replied broadly, “Of course, any State Don that has plans would always say no, and any State Don that did not have plans would also say no...so, no...” As Ronariom had such a short reign before him, we asked TigerTrapIII whether this worried him, “At first, his short reign worried me, but than I realized that he was apart of a crew that fell under attack. Since I was uninvolved, this helped me not to worry so much.” However, he continued to say, “it is intimidating to join on as the newest State Don while all of the other positions are already full. In additoin, all of the other State Dons who have been online have messaged me their congratulations, so that has been very helpful. Most of them have even offered me advice, and it has been a very smooth transition.”

Despite the Buzz having worries about our interview with TigerTrapIII because of his warning to us that he had been having some celebratory drinks, it ran smoothly and ended with TigerTrapIII adding thanks and appreciation, “Thank you for this opportunity to speak out, and I thank bootleggers for the opportunity to become Nevada's new State Don. I also thank all of the friends who have helped me along the way.” The Buzz wishes TigerTrapIII the best of luck with his much wanted spot as Nevada’s State Don and hopes he can enjoy it for longer than its previous suitors.
