Apocalypse Semi-Montly Takeover MikaVerLeth
The new year had a blasting start when some R.I.P. Topics appeared in the Game Forum, paying their respect to fallen members of Apocalypse. The crew, so it appeared, was taken over by The Black Out, an older crew that was on the statistics some time ago and attempted to make its return now.

Using an insider, The Black Out did not have to kill many players in order to get hold of the spot. Gunslingerdave was the insider and was determined to use his bullets and points to help The Black Out. So, to get them back on the stats, he hired a State Don to shoot members until he got the crew. When this succeeded he announced the comeback of The Black Out in a topic on the Game Forum.

However, The Black Out wasn't destined to be on the statistics for long. Only a couple of hours were needed for Apocalypse to organize their retaliation attempt which resulted in the complete wipe of The Black Out and causing Apocalypse to regain their spot on the statistics. The takeover of Apocalypse was one of the last actions of guneslingerdave. In a topic he announced: “The only thing I want to say is I came here to help my friends and quit after it, that means I will quit now.”

The attempt to help his friends did not work out as planned so he carried on his plan and stopped playing. Yet, we might see him again in the future. “I will be back if something happens with TBO and get them back into the stats.”

Apocalypse took their spot back and they are on the statistics once again. “We organized a few shootings, the crew dropped and we made another one. Apocalypse was on the stats again,” EagleOnceAgain told me. “We only used around 150K bullets and had search costs,” he said. As for financing the operation he said, “Some Apocalypse members talked to EH members. EH took revenge for their member that was killed on the hands of TBO.”

Names of shooters could not be given for safety reasons.

So Apocalypse has proven they have shooters and the ability and resources to take back their spot. Will they be left alone in the future? Only time will tell.
