A Takeover, Attempted. JoeMasseria

Around 9:30AM Boot time on Wednesday, a rather unusual incident occurred in Bootleggers, the victims for a very brief period were the well-known crew Event Horizon. Time was passing as usual when a topic was posted in the Game Forum by Yseehc entitled "Bai Bai EH". I then proceeded to check the crew profile and saw that it had changed from it's usual crew profile picture to a message that had been posted there by the current crew holder, KraKow. Members were being hardkicked under his control.

It seemed Event Horizon had been insided and were sure to be knocked off the Statistics Page. However, this was not to be as minutes later, KraKow was dead. How? The Nation Don was online and had made use of their 5 minute searches to take KraKow down before it was too late. A lucky escape it seems but how did it all come about?

I managed to catch up with Crew Underboss to Event Horizon, JustDontWorry and pose him some questions about the event. When asked how KraKow came to hold the crew, he replied that, "He was given the crew by accident during gun upgrades" and added "He was in EH over a year ago, he came back for a short visit" on how long he had been in the crew.

However, the mystery still remained as to why he turned on Event Horizon so JustDontWorry informed me "At first we thought it was because he wouldn't pass the crew to high council when asked", so "with us asking for the crew, we thought he got annoyed that we wanted want him to pass it, so turned on us...". Not only this but also, "later we were told by an outside source that this was planned hours before when he had the crew by Revelation". Not only this but "Krakow had the whole crew on search and was going to use the crew bullets on us all." So, the reasons for why he really did it arestill uncertain despite a few valid reasons being talked about.

I finished off by asking whether he was alone in this attempt, to which he replied, "As names go yeah, but like I said, sources told me Rev pre-planned it". Why the Nation Don killed KraKow? Although not certain as to the reason why he shot him, Event Horizon "did ask him" to shoot KraKow and were thankful "they caught him just in time".

Whether Revelation had anything to do with this, I don't think we will ever know for certain but we may be in for an interesting ride as we see how this latest crew saga will play out...
