Welcome to issue number 136 of the Bootleggers Buzz!
The Buzz team is back, and guess what, we brought you the newest issue of the Buzz. After starting with the first part of a Buzz contest in the previous issue which ended earlier this week, our new issue of course features the second and final part; the actual Grand Theft Mania. More information about both the first- and second part can be found in the articles regarding them. A congratulations to those who already won prize money and good luck to everyone who will be competing.
Of course we have had a lot of other action, similar to previous week. However, the way Event Horizon was the subject of previous week, The Syndicate was our main source of bullet showers for this one. The week of The Syndicate started with an attack on The Order. Despite receiving a blow, the long standing crew did remain on the statistics and is still there to see the light of a new dawn. With the help of allies, Event Horizon was taken down, ending the sprees and the entire crew. That same Syndicate was quick to wave bye bye to Eternal Labyrinth. For only a couple of hours after replacing The Deadly Alliance, Eternal Labyrinth was wiped and condemned to a place that is not shown on the statistics.
Death Row also saw a lot of death as the crew was insided by Young and Dangerous after having been on the statistics for barely, or not even, a week. Of course with death comes new life when crews are concerned. Main Street managed to get a hold of the spot previously owned by Death Row, Absolute Zero decided to sell and give a chance to Winter Hill Gang whilst The Syndicate occupied the spot the crew had taken over from Event Horizon.
We are almost running out of people to interview but luckily we still have some, for this week we sat down with Help Desk Operator David in an attempt to get to know him just that little bit better. We also decided to feature the Sound Off we promised you. After not losing this one to the auto prune the Buzz is proud to present you with a Sound Off. As promised, and mentioned before, the outcome of our Buzz contest part one is in this issue, alongside an explanation of the hints that is featured in the same article. We hope everyone has been working on their GTA skills, because this week marks the kick off of the second and final part of our Buzz competition. All the information you need can be found in the Buzz article dedicated to this second part.
As always we have all our weekly segments for you. Apart from the earlier mentioned 'Sound Off' we also have 'A Year Back', 'The Weekly Flash' and 'Bootleggers Game Statistics' lined up and ready for you. We hope you will enjoy them and would like to remind you that feedback is always appreciated. Although our hyperactive search for writers has come to and end, those with talent and a good article might still find themselves being offered the digital pen of the Bootleggers Buzz writer. You might want to give it a try. After all, who knows? You might be talented and thus... lucky! Either way, please have patience after submitting an application, since our very active search is over it may take a while before you receive a reply to your application.
Once again, good luck to all you car thieves out there. Hopefully you are going to enjoy the next couple of days. We will be here again next week with a new Buzz, and who knows, maybe with some contest results! Until then, take care.

After Young and Dangerous' successful insiding of Death Row, the crewspot was up for sale. The chance to finally obtain a crewspot was taken by the Bosses of Main Street after a substantial period of recruiting.

Earlier this week, Abzolute Zero was in control of a crewspot, bought from Event Horizon following their 4-crew wipe. It was then put up for sale and Winter Hill Gang decided it was the ideal time to make an entrance back to the Stats. We were able to spend some time with NinjaStar, to find out more about the return.
