The Return of the Winter Hill Gang! JDWv5
On the ninth of March, a post was made in the Game Forum, announcing the return of the Winter Hill Gang. The spot was claimed to have been given to them by Resistance, for free!

I then went to talk to one of the bosses of Resistance. Seagulgull. First off, I wanted to know why Resistance wanted to give up their spot. He told me they were too busy to keep and run a crew on the statistics page, that Resistance prefer to shoot from underground. Then I wanted to see if Resistance gave their crew spot away for nothing. It was confirmed, reason being Resistance don't work for profit. Finally, I asked what we could expect from Resistance in the future. Although he told me that there were no plans made, he did say they'd most likely be going underground to stock up on bullets, then later come back on the statistics page.

I also got in touch with the boss of the Winter Hill Gang, DamnFranchise. After asking how he got his hands on the crew spot, he told me, that he was already plotting to get a crew spot, but he didn't say which spot he wanted! Then he got the offer to have the Resistance spot for free! So what can we expect from Winter Hill Gang? "We'll consider everyone a friendly crew unless they give us a reason to think otherwise," he told me. Though he said he owes The Order a lot for letting him stay with them. The next is a quote from DamnFranchise. "We're planning to have lots of fun and we're looking forward to another lengthy run on the stats. Thank you to Resistance for giving us the spot and anyone that was involved with that. And Thank you to all of our well wishers as I've gotten a lot of bootmails welcoming us back "

So quite a bit to look forward to in the world of Bootleggers, we'll see how the Winter Hill Gang settle into crew life, what paths and actions they choose and if they will be for the best! We also have to wait and see what Resistance have in stall for us, as we have all witnessed, they are full of surprises!

We did not have to wait long before the Winter Hill Gang were in the spotlight, it was the next day in fact. The Winter Hill Gang recruited as many ex members as they could, included in the mix, was someone from The Enclave, TheFourSeasons. It wasn't long before The Enclave started their attack on the Winter Hill Gang, the crew eventually dropping to TheFourSeasons, in control of The Enclave. The Winter Hill Gang members then started getting kicked, with The Enclave members started coming in, along with members from The Rapture and The Supremacy.

The day after Winter Hill Gang lost their spot, they took it back! Fortunately for them, the underboss of Winter Hill Gang, Mattia managed to avoid getting shot as he didn't apply and get accepted into the crew in time for him to be involved in the attack from The Enclave. Mattia then started searches for the boss and higher ranked accounts in The Enclave, though he was not the only one. Soon after, members from The Enclave started to get shot at. Not by Mattia, but by The Deadly Knights.

A deal was made between Mattia and one of the bosses from The Deadly Knights. This deal was was that Mattia was to kill the final account left in The Enclave so that the crew would drop, and be picked up by himself. That is exactly what happened, Mattia picked up the spot, and bought back the Winter Hill Gang and started to fill it with close friends.

I would like to thank Mattia for all he information he gave me regarding how they got their spot back.

Days later, the Winter Hill Gang hogged the spotlight yet again! This time, they lost nine members, shot by thesyndicate. He fired just over 129,000 bullets, which caused the Winter Hill Gang to loose their highest ranks in their already weakened crew.

The Winter Hill Gang have experienced it all in their return to the statistics page and it has barely been a week! We eagerly wait for what will happen next. If it's anything like what has happened of late, we have a lot to look forward to!
