The Return of TSE Mikamon
With the spot of The Notorious Gangsters for sale, it would of course only be a matter of time before a buyer would show up to bring a new crew to the statistics. However, crews that tried to sell in the past found this to be rather difficult, seeing crewspots seem to have lost their value and are hard to sell. It came as quite a surprise to see a quick replacement of The Notorious Gangsters by The Sacred Empire, as the crew had not been for sale that long. The Buzz caught up with Aburagheb (Circumfrence) and interviewed him about the reappearance of his crew.

“We bought the spot from TNG, for 1000 points,” Aburagheb told us. He added, “We are here to stay, but this time around we will run things a bit differently.” By this time, he of course referred back to the previous appearances The Sacred Empire has made on the statistics. Even though the plan seems to be to deal with matters somewhat different than before, Aburaghed did assure us that the faces in the crew are still the same. “It is still owned by me ( AbuRagheb ) and MWO,” he told us. “But there will be some council changes.”

Contrary to most crews that are new on the statistics, The Sacred Empire will not be opening their doors for everyone right away. Aburagheb told us the crew is currently only accepting “close friends at first.” He added, “TSE is a home, a place where you know that the people around you will stick with you no matter what happens. It is based on trust and loyalty, and the rest just comes on the way, but no matter how hard the road is, we go through it together.” His statement partly explains why The Sacred Empire will not be recruiting straight away. As it is of course always wise to gather trustable members first before deciding on the next step.

With The Sacred Empire and its usual black-grayish color back on the statistics there is an old crew that is there to be seen once again. “As for what I hope the public would think of the crew,” Aburagheb said. “I'll be truthful and say, I couldn't care one bit about what others think, as long as my members and allied crews are happy, I'm happy.” He concluded his interview by telling us, “Glad to be part of the buzz again.” Naturally being part of the Buzz as a new crew means that you are back in business as well, and that is probably the thing Aburagheb likes the most.
