| Are the Invisibles Going Invisible? |
DejaVu |
|
This week we watched one of the more powerful crews on Bootleggers put themselves up for sale. Yes thats right, The Invisibles (also known as TI) announced that their crew spot was available, and would go to the highest bidder. I followed the thread that was posted in the Off Topic Forum for most of Monday evening. The bidding got as high as 7,000 points and looked like that might be the final price for what was once a well known crew containing multiple State Dons and Help Desk Operators.
Most of us were left with the same question, why sell? This was a friendly, respectful crew with some of the more accomplished players this reset. HimmelX wanted to sell TI due to two of the Bosses having children, and wanting time off for the summer, as well as my new job." They ultimately believed that they simply would not have the time to run such a crew and be fair to the members at the same time.
That was a very understandable excuse but how were the members taking it? According to Himmel, The members that have responded so far are freaking out, they dont like me very much at the moment. With those two major questions answered, I took a few minutes to speak with Browneyes, a State Don and Boss of TI. She advised me that the members were very concerned and not ready to give up their home so easily. With the loyalty not being an issue, we were all left to sit and watch what might be the final hours of this crew.
A few hours later, HimmelX came forward on the forums for one final decision. Due to the overwhelming support from our members, and the public in general, Alata, Browneyes, and I have decided to continue to run The Invisibles. I wouldnt post here, but Ive been receiving anywhere from 5-10 BMs a minute since I put up the For Sale thread. The bidding has been canceled, sorry for any confusion we may have caused, and thank you for the support.
Thank you HimmelX and Browneyes for taking the time to speak with me. For now The Invisibles will remain visible, or at least on the Stats Page!
