A Nation Don's Power Proven MadamNyxxie
"Virtual Blood Bath" is probably an understatement when describing the actions this Saturday morning by new Nation Don, TheFlyingMonkey. "I have never seen a crew wiped so quickly before," said one player as Sempre Famiglia was brought down one by one and what seemed to only take, the most, 30 minutes to conduct.

Along with the crew went down Colorado, Illinois and Michigan state dons. "For my own reasons," he replied in an interview with the Buzz when asked why he attacked Sempre Famiglia and those specific three state dons. And although TheFlyingMonkey claims that the kills were "his own choice," several other players think otherwise. "He would of needed a lot of cash in a short amount of time, surely he was paid off by a crew," claimed a victim of the attack.

When asked if TheFlyingMonkey believes that Nation Dons aregiven more power than the game and it's players can handle, he replied, "No because we can always be killed, it's a temporary power that an be taken away quite easily."

And it sure was. Within a mere six hours, TheFlyingMonkey was removed from the stats and the Nation Don spot was opened up once again. Killed by FriedCalamari of The Order with 87,125 bullets, TheFlyingMonkey's "fun" was short-lived.

All in all, according to TheFlyingMonkey's profile, 204 kills were made including those of the three state dons. The exact amount of money lost in game is always hard to tell unless the killer him/herself jot it down prior and post killing spree. Since it doesn't seem TheFlyingMonkey has done that, we can only go by an estimated amount. "I heard it was about a billion," said one Bootleggers player, while another commented on total money per player, "the amount per player dropped by about 20k, I think."

This week's Bootleggers sound off has everything to do with this peticular event this week. Do you think Nation Dons have more power than the game and it's players can handle? Hopefully everyone will voice their opinion when the official topic is made!

Until then, may all lost rest in peace and a big thumbs up to TheFlyingMonkey for using the power given to him and giving us all a run for our money.
