The Scummie Crew: A summary TheTsjMustGoOn
A quick dive into the history of The Scummie Crew reveals that it was formed by its original leaders, DA and Vasago during the dark days of 2007. TSC’s main goal in those early days was to steal bullet factories, and generally harass other crews in what is now known as “The Rev. wars.” Original members consisted of DA, Vasago, Mea, CP, Ian and Kow amongst others. Most of the original Scummies have retired though. Soon after its creation TSC became a proper underground crew which seemingly slumbered, but now and again let the Bootleggers world know of its existence. Last week, the slumber suddenly ended.

When Schutzstaffel was shot, a member of TSC was asked by Ben to newskool the crew. After a moments consideration, an agreement was made and when all was said and done, TSC was back on stats. Firmly in the hands of DA he wondered what he should do with the crewspot and thought, "why not have a little fun?" Everyone was invited to join the crew and everyone received recruiting rights so they could let their friends in too. When this got boring for the original TSC people, they gave away the crew spot to Omerta.

This however wasn’t the end of the story. One of the people in the crewspot had had so much fun the other day that he decided to buy TSC another crewspot. So it happened. After a while, the discussion in TSC turned to RiP topics. As TSC had never been forced off stats before, the crew was curious what a TSC RiP topic would look like. In order to make this happen it was quickly decided to “fuck around with a crew name and picture.” Twenty minutes of hard thinking later, 23rd Cumslingers was created. Immediately, the messages started to come in. According to DA, “Then we got threatening messages from 23rd gunfags”. Being The Scummie Crew, they responded in a witty and sarcastic way, and declared Jihad on them. The rest of the story is history. Or summed up in the words of DA: ”They shot us, we lol'ed, they got an e stiffy. The end.”

Clearly seeing TSC on stats makes a lot of people on Bootleggers chuckle. What do you do to defend yourself against a group of loudmouths with nothing to lose? Is there even anything you can do about it but just laugh it off and continue? We will see, because TSC is as alive as ever and it will come back to stats again at some point as sure as the sun shines behind the clouds. All we can do is wait and smile.
