WELCOME to issue number 121 of the Bootleggers Buzz!
Another week has come and gone and here we are, yet again, on this glorious Sunday morning (or afternoon for you Europeans) to present to you another fun-filled, information-packed issue! Our team is getting rather large at the Buzz, the largest we have seen it all round with a total of 14 members, myself and Mika included. It's a thrill for myself to see such a large team and the Buzz to flourish in this way and I hope only the best can come out of such a large team. Are we still recruiting new writers? Of course, but for the time being our requirements towards such writers will be a little stricter than usual. We want the best of the best, but we aren't going to shy away those who prove to be a diamond in the rough. So continue to send in your applications and none will get overlooked!
Now, onto the top news this week. With a complete wipe of the entire State Don+ rank, the empty slots that once held such high ranked players remained desolate for the beginning half of the week. What did this mean for the week ahead? Our hypothesis pointed in the "boring" section as we clung to our computer chairs and waited for the first sign of life. AmaurisV2 brought the rank back to life, once again, with him being the first player to rank since the entire wipe and many other players followed suit. What are we to see in the coming weeks ahead? Are the State Dons the victims or are they the prey?
Continuing this week's issue is information on MPOGD. The bullet reward change caused quite a stir in the forums from players rather upset with it, while players on the game weren't the only people upset. Back at the MPOGD.com headquarters, editor Jodie McIntyre, seemed to be a little peeved herself when she slashed both top competing games votes in half. Never the less, we can only hope Bootleggers will become victor to it's less-than-perfect knockoff competitor.
As always, we have our "A Year Back," informing you of the state in the game this time last year in a neat and compiled list, and "The Weekly Flash," informing you of this week in the same fashion. Our "Behind the Name" is still on "Maturity Leave" as we give this feature some time to rest and change a bit. With it being one of the OLDEST weekly additions, we think it is time for a new layout to the beloved article. Finishing this week is a mini egg hunt where you can win awesome prizes. This and so much more make issue number 121 what it is today!
Enjoy the read, everyone. See you next week! Have a blessed Holiday to those who celebrate!
