Are Crews to Blame for the BL Slump? TSGV2
Let us take a step back in time to two years ago. What do we find? We find Bootleggers at the height of its power. Where 2000-3000 people logged on everyday. Where Crews were decimated and created in just a couple of hours. Where being in a Crew actually meant something.

Back in the present and what do we find? A rather sluggish game. Where only 200-400 people log on and nothing interesting happens too often. So who do we have to blame? Why the Crews that should be running this game! Now I admit that not all the blame should be pinned on the Crews. However, there are a few things that Crews can do to make this game more appealing to the newer players.

Crews. That term should mean: taking nothing from nobody, trying to become the big dog on campus, and trying to grow stronger everyday. Now OUR Crews just sit around trying to stay on the Stats. So now how do they do this? Why they create meaningless alliances so they can sit on their fat asses all day thats how.

Crews were not created to sit around and be friends with everyone. They were created so friends, comrades, and countrymen can fight side by side to become legendary. They fought with passion to stay alive and not start over from scratch. They also fought to keep their friends from starting over from scratch.

Since they put a limit on Crews a new breed of Crews were created. Underground Crews were created for the sole purpose of sabotage and take overs. Well to Hell with them I say. If you have to be such a coward as to take a Crew over by stealth then you shouldn't be called a Crew at all. I know I will probably get flamed about how it is tactics not being a coward and I somewhat agree. However, if you are going to take over a Crew to make your Underground Crew official do it the old fashioned way.

Crews have the power to change this game, but sitting around making alliances will not do it. You have to fight for it. Fight for it with all your heart. If you want to become legends then you have to kill and be killed. Do you want to be recognized and admired in the future of this game as the Crew that never died, or the Crew that made it to the top? Then you better lock n' load and aim low boys.
