Welcome to issue 143 of the Bootleggers Buzz!
A heavy week it has been for some of the crews of Bootleggers, with a lot of bullets flying everywhere even the crewless players had to duck and be careful not to be hit when they witnessed a kill. Kills of which there were many. The 'alliance' formed between The Syndicate and several statistics crews had its first test this week as Event Horizon and Eternal Labyrinth combined their powers and attacked.
The result? Well, I already covered it, really. The crews that were targeted survived for the biggest part, even though the boot camp version of The Invisibles bit the dust and Virtual Reality needed a bit of help to get back up, but in the end only a lot of accounts were lost. However, it is drama, and that is what we, as Buzz team, love to see. Dead bodies hitting the floor and fights over crewspots and properties; it is part of the way Bootleggers should be played according to most, nevertheless only very few do it at such a large scale as the crews who's members were dragged into a lot of shoot outs this past week.
Apart from the crews that were shot, or even wiped, this week, there were also those who changed name or were sold. Former HDO and Winter Hill Gang crewboss Franchise felt it was time for him to say Bootleggers goodbye for now. While we will remember him and his crew, the ones still in the spot went on as NinjaStar changed Winter Hill Gang into The Tribe, with which he will continue now that Franchise had quit. More crews resigned this week. 23rd Gunslinger Co. boss Coastie and his council felt it was not wise to continue the crew until he got back from Iraq, thus the crew was sold, transforming into Yakuza at the end of the week.
Buffalo Soldiers also got onto the statistics as well as Wish Master. The latter managed to get hold of the TI: Boot Camp spot that was taken over by Eternal Labyrinth. However the crew is now protected by The Invisibles. Of course we have the weekly articles you are used to seeing such as 'Crew of the Week' which features The Invisibles, 'The Weekly Flash', 'Bootleggers Game Statistics' and 'A Year Back'.
As always we are looking for writers to come and reinforce our team. If you feel you have got what it takes to become a Buzz Writer then please submit an application article about a recent, Bootleggers related subject and you might be finding yourself being offered the digital pen of the Bootleggers Buzz writer. It may take a while before we reply to your application, but rest assured, we will reply.
That is all, folks! See you all next week.

It has been a tough week for almost every crew that is currently allied with The Syndicate. After losing their powerhouses, follow up attacks followed, resulting in more death and even the loss of some crewspots, even though this loss did not last long. Virtual Reality, The Invisibles and the boot camp edition of the last crew found themselves under attack by a joint effort of Event Horizon and Eternal Labyrinth. The shooters of these two crews managed to take over Virtual Reality and The Invisibles: Boot Camp by the use of insiders.

| EH Strikes Back At Last |

After having seemingly disappeared since the crew got wiped by The Sydnicate, Even Horizon seemed gone. The Buzz, and probably many others with us, wondered when the members would show a sign of live and when they would come down hard on those who had wiped their crew. With the new allegiance between TS and several other statistics crews the targets seemed not that hard to pick. Apparently it was time for action this week, as State Dons started dying at the hands of Suzuki and TehOwnage. Even the Nation Don bit the dust.

This week, we witnessed the return of a crew that existed in the very early days of Bootleggers. Back then, the crew was well known and even today, the crews name is still respected by the Bootleggers community. Most of these people would, nevertheless, not expect a return of this crew.
