Rev Vs Apoc - A Bever-Ending Battle? UnlimitedDistraction
For the past week or two, the feud between Revelation and Apocalyse has continued to bubble. The relationship boiled over on the 6th Feb. At 21:49 BL time, Phaedrus, a Respectable Boss from Apocalypse was shot. Shortly afterwards, Witness Statements started to appear in bootmail inboxes of players on Apocalypse members being shot. The Game Forum was promptly filled with R.I.P topics and the statements of Apocalypse being taken over. Sure enough, when the Statistics page was updated, 18 more Apocalypse members had been gunned down.

Not long after, as all Boss + accounts were being killed, they decided to accept a few more members in order to delay the crew spot dropping. A smart move maybe but the takeover persisted and shortly after, the rest of the Boss + accounts were killed leaving the crew spot to drop. Immediately afterwards, the crewspot had been seized leaving a familiar name brandished on the Stats page, and that name was Revelation. Two players only were discovered on the various Witness Statements. They were bubbabubba and Xenophobe. When asked on reasons for the shootings, the latter replied, "Ask the bosses for it. Mikey or Cliffy or the owner im a revelation shooter".

I then bootmailed MikeY1408TheAchmad to ask him why Revelation shot Apocalypse.
He replied, "Reason is: Apoc has shot us and MM so we shot back, We shot back last night but they got in 4 other members which we believe to be dupes.
We just took back what's ours. Apoc and others shot Rev and MM. TR and Covenant where created. They were taken over by TE and Rel. We shot Apoc in revenge and to get us back on stats."

So, there we have it. According to Revelation, Apocalypse started this off by shooting them in the first place as well as the replacement of The Supremacy, Memento Mori (MM). Whereupon The Resistance and The Covenant were created and replaced them on the Stats. Relentless and The Empire, both relatively new crews took those two over leaving Revelation only to get revenge.

I tried to get LintoKarma, one of the Bosses of Apocalypse, to speak to me but he was unavailable to speak to at the time,so unfortunately I cannot attain his view on the situation.

It seems loud and clear the message Revelation are trying to send out to the BL crew community, and that is to not mess with them or you'll pay. There seems to be a few that Revelation want revenge on but whether that will happen, only time will tell.
Will Apocalypse shoot back at Revelation for the crewspot in time?
The answer to that isn't certain but, what you can be sure of, is there's a lot of action to come.
