Welcome to Issue number 54 of the Bootleggers Buzz, everyone! I hope you are all getting in the Holiday cheer quick because the Holidays are creeping up on us and they will be over sooner than you think. Bootleggers' Christmas presents were given out a tad earlier this year as Sabin and BSF2000 are busy changing small features on the game, all which are making a rather BIG commotion on the Game Forum.
New updates from an update of Elite Guard crew profiles, final words given to those you kill, Bootleggers' own version of 'Prison Break' and many more updates were all wrapped neatly under the tree for us, only to be unwrapped quickly by the players. Sadly, it seems no one is EVER satisfied on Bootleggers, though. With the new features came an equal, if not MORE, line of complaints. If it isn't one thing people are bothered about, it seems they are bothered with another. I've personally come to realize that it's not MANY people upset with the features, there are a select few and when they are NOT happy, they make it known. Their loud voices echo throughout the forums and mask the ones who are actually satisfied with the changes on the game. If you are unhappy, make a Help Desk Ticket, no one, especially this time of year, wants to hear your complaints, you Scroog! There are Help Desk ticket categories for that, as well as a devoted sticky topic Sabin seemed to be forced to make after the flood of Game Forum topics were created.
Aside from all the wonderful updates, comes another crew attack and a State Don's pre-Christmas rampage. Also, as always, we have our Behind the Name, changing it up a bit and allowing the people given the opportunity, a chance to show their faces. If you have any more ideas on how to change the Behind the Name to make this 2007 article a 2008-hit wonder, please send all ideas to Nyxxiekins via Bootmail. Following, we have our Sound-OFF! What were your opinions about the changes this week? One change sure caused a stir on the forums and we have people's opinions on that below!
Our Bootleggers Holiday Tree has been 2 weeks in the making and the unrevieling of it is this week! We hope you like the Tree, in all it's Bootleggers' Glory and I hope you find your ornament or ornaments dedicated to you. It was nice that we were able to come together to decorate our Bootleggers Tree.
We welcome two new writers this week, Squidee and PintoGod. Due to the time I accepted PintoGod into the Buzz (late Saturday), he was given the chance not to submit an article this week-- but we are excited to hear your opinions of Squidee's overview of the new features and can't wait until you are able to read an article by PintoGod.
I have went through ALL article applications. So if you haven't gotten word back via Bootmail or E-mail, please resubmit (BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR CURRENT BOOTLEGGERS NAME!). If you wish to be a Buzz writer and think you have the experience and skills necessary (minding your spelling, grammar, punctuation and choice of article), please send your article sample to me through our email address, Buzz.Application@gmail.com. Please be patient as I look over them once very two weeks. Also, read the "Ticket to the Buzz Forum" article in issue 25 for a crash course on how to be the best writer you can possibly be!
Thanks for reading the Buzz, I want to wish you all Happy Holidays. I hope you enjoy the read!
