The Invisibles VS Rankists SeanLovesTS
The beginning of the week brought a whole new killing spree from The Invisibles as the crew shot seventy-seven rankists, inactive land holders and “kamikaze” usernames because “David was too stubborn to share.”

The Buzz got right on the case by contacting Himmelayan about the shooting. He told us the shooting was “easy” as a minority of the targers were above Boss. KamikazeDavid shot around 235,000 bullets in order to perform The Invisibles’ latest spectacle. So, those are the facts. We decided to delve deeper into the reasons behind the shooting.

Himmelayan told us that The Invisibles shot at the rankists for the same reason that the crew had always shot at them: Because they’d like “everyone to OC with everyone.” The crew seems to think that shooting rankists is having a positive effect on the game as members of The Invisibles have seen people they’ve killed letting lower ranks into their OCs. The inactive land holders were seen as a potential threat as no one could have any idea what their land could be worth after all this time. As for the “Kamikaze” usernames, David just didn’t want “copycats.”

An interesting question asked by the Buzz was if Himmelayan thought the shooting contradicted The Invisibles’ vision. If the crew’s belief that anyone should be able to get into an Organized Crime with ease became reality, then the rankists would never learn their lesson because they could be as rankist as they like, die, and then just OC with anyone to become high ranked and rankist again. When asked this, Himmelayan said, “In our view, they should have learned their lesson when we shot them for being rankist.” He went on to say, “We would definitely like it if our vision became a reality, we aren’t looking to exclude the rankists, merely teach them the right way.”

As we closed our interview with Himmelayan, he assured that their method was working as he is sent many boot mails from players they’ve shot for being rankist, “Proudly showing that their topic has no rank requirements.” So, The Invisibles seems to be trying to set an example and make the game a fairer experience for everyone. Whichever side of the “rankist” fence you sit on, this should be an important factor for you in the days to come, as Himmelayan promised that “They are happening constantly” and even told us that they have a list for today and tomorrow. Good luck to them and we at the Buzz hope The Invisibles achieve its vision for a fairer Bootleggers!
