WELCOME to issue number 59 of the Bootleggers Buzz!
I hope you have all had a wonderful two weeks here on Bootleggers and where ever your life is currently taking you! It's been two weeks since a past issue and I apologize for that! I've been a bit preoccupied with a vacation. Vacationing is for relaxing and although I did have access to the internet, I tried to cut down on it's usage to as little as possible to get the most out of my time there. Understandable by those understanding players, I'm sure, but an apology is still in order.
I hoped to have a huge article this week (and even promised such), but alas, all I have is a normal-sized issue and hope next week the Buzz can be back in it's full glory.
"The Buzz is only as great as the players let it be," is probably the best quote that can sum up the current, past and future status and successfulness of the Buzz. Without the players, their use of guns and bullets, the Buzz would be empty. So if you want a great Buzz next week, it's time to put your plans to action and shoot, shoot, shoot. I joke with my staff rather often telling them I'll have them killed each week just for the sake of an article (okay so my joke isn't too funny for them, but I laughed?). So, if you're underground and reading this, above ground and know someone who is underground and ready to shoot, let them know that we are all asking for it! Go ahead! We're ready for you! Make my da-- err, week!
Anyway, onto more serious things. This week we have very few articles, but quality over quantity, I say! We also have some great freelance articles that I published and hope you all read those too. I enjoyed reading them, found them entertaining as well as well-written and they deserve the same attention that the rest of the articles in the Buzz do.
In these two weeks, we've seen some minor features added to the game, such as the ability to see online crew members via the crew page and the use of the News Bulletin in the News page via Sabin.
But this week we are reporting on new features such as the Return of the Safehouse and the ability to reset your OC timer. Both features have been requested countless number of times in the Game Forum and I can only imagine how many times in the "Featured Suggestion" category in the Help Desk. Thanks to you and your suggestions, we have new additions to the game!
Also in this issue is our weekly article, The Behind the Name. This weekly article has been a popular one ever since it started. I love being able to take a normal player, and placing them on a Buzz pedestal, per say, for a week. As for the "Buzz Sound Off," that will begin again next week.
We are continually looking for writers. 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 remember to include your current BL name). Please be patient as they are looked over once every 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!
I will be getting to the current applications by tonight, so if you do not get a reply by Monday night, please feel free to re-submit your applications.
As always, enjoy the issue and happy gaming!
