Welcome Lynx! BrickTamland
As the onslaught of new crews to the Statistics page (Stats) continued this week, along came Lynx. They took over where The Authority left off, a crew who came and went before we actually got to talk to them. Not letting that distract us, we were able to contact one of Lynx's Bosses, ChaoticAce, and ask him some questions.

Firstly, we asked how they obtained the spot in the first place. He replied, "We bought the crew spot from The Authority for 700 points." Next we moved onto how long they had been going for underground and whether they had been actively looking to get onto the stats in the future, to which he told us, "We were underground for around one month and we had all the points ready since we started." He further mentioned, "It was just a matter of recruiting members and forming a strong enough crew. Now we are here."

With the recent addition of five new crewspots there has been a noticable increase in crew take-overs and insiding over the last couple of weeks. So, we asked ChaoticAce whether they were at all worried that Lynx might soon be targeted themselves. He calmly replied, "No I don't think we are worrying about it. Just trying to enjoy our stay on the stats and see how we go. If we do get hit, we will be back, strong again." Feisty words from a crew, seemingly prepared for what may happen in the future.

As Lynx is a new crew to the Stats, we wanted to find out a little more about them as a crew in general. ChaoticAce told us, "Well our members just love having a good laugh and enjoying themselves on our forums. Sometimes it does get a bit quiet but I think it's a good place to be." We also received a regular member's perspective of it. Shootnreload told us, "yeah, the atmosphere is really electric, I could say there is a 'buzz' of excitement in the crew at the moment." He went on to say, "we are very pleased that TA sold us the spot, we are glad that we have made it to the stats and we hope we will stay for a long time." ChaoticAce did also mention that the current requirements for those wanting to get in on the Lynx experience was Assassin+ and being wealthy+.

We asked what exactly the plans are for Lynx now they have made it to the Stats, to which ChaoticAce replied, "To try and hold this stats crew for as we can and make a name for ourselves on Bootleggers. Those are our major goals."

So there we have it. One of the latest additions to the Stats all wrapped up in a nice little package. Whether they will suceed in their goals of staying here in the face of increasing amounts of shooting, we'll have to see. What we can say is we might be in for an interesting ride.
