Genesis 1:1 iRetributei
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move, however, in the beginning, BSF made bootleggers, and it was good. We forget about those days, the days when each individual member got lost in awe at the mere sight of the bootleggers menu, one which seemed endless, complex and uncertain.

Think back; those who truly remember when bootleggers was open, before the
first reset in the book of bootleggers genesis. In that time, little criticism occurred. We lived and we played in perfect harmony, apart from the inevitable crew war or killing by the very early L.Dons. Yet we did not criticize the game we played in, the world created by the creator. Yet, like Adam and Eve we ate the forbidden fruit and the mass gaming community gained free will, a voice.

Criticism is prejudice made plausible and with that, we gave a fault to
everything.

We took the path of being mightier than thou. We questioned our gaming methods, the creators will and anarchy ensued. Breaking our bootleggers past into three sections, we had the beginning, harmonious playing with few problems other than the early bugs. The dark age with a crisis in inflation leading to killings everywhere, scripters and scamming and of course: Crew wars!

The millennium, the final reset? We are back to familiar ground, a virtual
peace, the word used lightly.

And so rather than criticize, commend those who created us, and to them: I owe my tribute.
