Crew bosses on Vacation. Good or bad? AceAdam
Recently there have been topics in the Game Forum regarding crew bosses going on vacation whilst their crew is getting shot at so they keep their spot. The most obvious one this week was The Triad and Easy Targets AKA Sempre Famiglia.

On Monday, a user named 35387 started shooting at the Easy Targets crew spot. There was over 50 members and within an hour this dropped to 31 members. The crew boss got killed and the successor CrackZ saw he was highly likely to get wiped so he decided to go into vacation to save the crew spot. However long he went into vacation, only he will know. A lot of people have different opinions about this use of saving the crew and I asked my crew boss, MikaVerLeth for his opinion. In a reply, MikaVerLeth said, "Our crew has enough members and isn't to be attacked as far as we know. Should we be attacked I would be pleased if a member managed to save the crew by going on vacation. Crew spots are valuable so I can see where the people that protect it by going on vacation are coming from. If I was in this position I would most likely not go on vacation although I think the code should be altered so that on vacationed players cannot receive the crew."

MikaVerLeth makes a very good comment about this vacation business so I would strongly suggest BSF2000 or Sabin codes this differently as I think it is a cowardly way to keep your crew. After all it is a mafia game so where would be the fun if we don’t see crews get wiped and try to fight back for their spot?
