The Invisibles, Invisible? AldoRaine
This week, we witnessed a lot of activity regarding The Invisibles. The crew first lost its spot, returned, got wiped again, and managed to return again. The Bootleggers Buzz tried to summarize these happenings in this article.

The first attack on The Invisibles started last week, when several high ranks were killed. It first seemed not be anything significant, as The Invisibles had zero problems holding the spot. However, the shooters never intended to drop the spot, as was revealed by one of the shooters of this week’s spree. Last week, seven-thousand points were used to kill fifteen high ranks. This week, the main attack was led by The Fraternity.

Thodoros, jcb, 50centj0hn, PissingInTheWind02, Lakedaimonos, SimpleDave and IKissedAWhale were the shooters The Fraternity used to attack The Invisibles. The shooters were assisted by two Event Horizon members who helped killing hard-kicked people. We had a little chat with Thodoros, also known as Vibie, who was the main organizer of this spree. He said, “TF (The Fraternity) were not the only ones involved in the shoot-out, other crews including EH were involved. Unfortunately, the names of their shooters are not yet known to us, so we will only be giving answers from our side (The Fraternity).”

Vibie told us they used “350k bullets last week and 250k today. All kills were paid in Points.” He went on to explain how they wiped The Invisibles, “TI was the largest crew on the statistics so we first weakened them and today we finished them off. Since we were with a small group and such a large attack is impossible for us.”

Nation Don SecondNature was slain as well. Vibie elaborated on the reasons of why The Fraternity shot both The Invisibles and the Nation Don, “TI killed and threatened members of The Fraternity on multiple occasions. SecondNature the Nation Don was also killed because he killed a very close friend while wiping FA. And I felt responsible, since FA got wiped by him duo my presence in FA earlier that week.” The spot of The Invisibles came into the hands of one of the shooter, insiding the spot. Vibie explained, “We didn't plan on insiding but resorted to that option. The new shooting system does not allow a small group of people to "old skool" a big crew, so we resorted to more efficient methods”

The Invisibles managed to return a couple of hours later. In the forums, some TI members claimed the attack was a “fail”. We asked Vibie to respond to that attitude. He told us, “They came back yes (we sold them the spot back, pathetic?) We successfully shot over 70 members? How is that a fail?” In the end, Vibie told us, “We have nothing planned, but if one of my members die. We will find you,” claiming to shoot once again if necessary.

Trouble didn’t end here for The Invisibles. Even though the crew managed to get back onto the statistics just a few hours later, trouble kicked in once again. The holder of the spot got banned, and the spot was attacked once again. This time, The Vanguard was responsible. Led by blinky, the crew killed almost every single member higher than boss. The Vanguard made a statement as well, “You (TI) shot 3 of our members, so we are shooting back, TV are not back yet but heavily preparing. This is a taster. Certain very small people chose to interfere here and brought their crew in danger as well. See you in a bit.”

The spot was lost, but The Invisibles showed some impressive flexibility by returning once again, just today. We caught up with Himmel, one of TI’s bosses, to get some information about the return. Himmel told us, “Feels great to be back so quickly, we expected to wait a week to let everyone rank to Boss, but thanks to a few Crews who offered their ranks, and in TMs case a Crew spot, we are ready for action once again.” The question is, though, whether The Invisibles are still at war with crews as Event Horizon, Eternal Labyrinth, Strictly Business and several others. Himmel told us, “I actually spoke about peace with Mags a little the other day, he made the claim that EH had no plans to shoot us in the immediate future. Within 24 hours of that lie Betty had one of our Bullet Factories, so I would say yes, we are still at war with EH at least. As for EL and SB, I haven't heard from them about the shootings ending, so I would assume they are still looking to shoot as well, we will deal with that as it happens.” Himmel finally elaborated on the future plans of his crew, “We take it one day at a time, but I can promise some more shooting will be involved in the near future”

This week then, was a bit of a rough one for The Invisibles. However, the crew itself reacted very calm, took revenge and managed to return twice. Several enemies of The Invisibles will, however, continue their attempts of wiping the crew. It seems fair to say that this is far from over.
