Roll Up! Roll Up! It's A Crew Spot Giveaway! FrickenChicken
Earlier this week, Bootleggers players spotted The Usual Suspects crew spot being given away in a free dice game. IdleBong eventually emerged as the winner of this giveaway, after winning, he sold the spot to Evocati. The Buzz got in touch with The Usual Suspects council member, DonTelfman, and Ferral, a boss of Evocati.

The players of Bootleggers were all wondering why The Usual Suspects crewspot was being given away, especially for free. DonTelfman said, "The Usual Suspects have decided to merge with 23rd Gunslinger Co., and so, had to get rid of our crew spot. We decided that crew spots are too hard to sell these days, and they're not worth that much, so we thought we would have some fun and give it away in a competition that was free to enter."

The next question on the Buzz has was why there had been a merge with 23rd Gunslinger Co.. We asked DonTelfman, and he said, "TwoBit (HowYouDoinv3) is good friends with Coastie and there has been talk of a merge for a while between them. We believe the merge was a good step forward for both crews, although loyal members were lost through the merge." He later added, "You see, the merge was in favour of all the members. The council decided and the vote went in favour of the merge. After the merge, some council members who voted for the merge, ended up not wanting to join either, and only about 30% of The Usual Suspects council have decided to stay at 23rd Gunslinger Co.. There are also a few members who decided not to join, and go their seperate ways."

It is true that not every member joined 23rd Gunslinger Co.. Ferral, a previous member of The Usual Suspects, went on to buy the spot won by IdleBong, and renamed it to Evocati. Many previous members of The Usual Suspects joined. The Buzz asked Ferral, one of two bosses, why he did not rejoin The Usual Suspects. He said, "The Merger Between The Usual Suspects and 23rd Gunslinger Co. was sudden and it left me in a position of what to do next, so I had decided that it was time I set my goals on another achievement. I had yet to fulfill running a crew, mind you, I didnt think we would hit stats so soon, but the time was right and we got to buy the spot previously held by The Usual Suspects."

We may never know if The Usual Suspects and 23rd Gunslinger Co. will ever become two separate crews again, but at the moment, it seems as if the two crews are enjoying the merge.
