An Executive Decision GodZillaV4
Its been a busy two weeks on the statistics page with new crews coming and others going , I am here to focus on the most recent edition, The Executive.

The crew itself is ran by co-owners and close friends Zahn and DingMyDong. I caught up with Zahn to get some fundamentals on the crew including where the name came from and what the crew as a unit were looking to achieve during their time on the Statistics page. I asked the reason why they had chosen now to bring the crew to the forefront of the game. " Bas (DingMyDong) said to me one evening, You fancy getting a crew? So I replied Why not?" said Zahn . A very simple plan but it not always that easy as we all know forming a crew is one thing but obtaining a crew spot is an entirely different challenge in itself. But for The Executive it was a case of right time, right place, with FishyFish taking out the members of Anestheticum and the crew spot being handed toApocalypse until they later struck a deal with the bosses of The Executive and the crew was passed over.

So lets look into the name, as its not been seen around before its always interesting to see where people get their ideas from. Zahn said. "Im a politics student, just finished my exams on the role of the The Executive in politics, in comparison to The Judiciary and The Legislature. Sprung back to mind when Bas reminded me of his crew The Verdict.

Upon reading the crew profile it seems clear that The Executive may not have as many members as some of the other current crews but also seems to have a slightly different recruiting process with strictly friends only which may leave them short. Safety in numbers is the motto for some, but with half the average amount of members its easier to run a tight ship and also cut down the risk of any inside incidents . But we all know that this game does funny things to even the greatest friendships and they are tested daily in the crew environment. Finally i asked Zahn what the crew bosses hoped for the future of the crew, he said . "We just aim to achieve a place where all our friends can chill out, form a tight unit and enjoy having the added bonus's that come with a crew whilst remaining disciplined and sensible" . It seems that they have everything planned out well before attempting to keep the crew on the stats page and that should in theory put them in good shape, but with so many bullets flying around lately and crews coming and going only time will tell.
