Tossing a Crewspot MikaArdai
The crewspot owned by The Sunrise (TS) switched hands twice this week. The first crew to take control of the spot was Sempre Famiglia (SF). Their return caused a stirr on the Game Forum as no permission had been given by Kinky or Diesel, the former crewbosses of SF. Palestinian Liberation (PL) was the third crew to get their hands on the spot by buying it from SF and they are still the current owners of the spot.

The first owners of the spot, The Sunrise seemed to have a firm grip on it. However, the crewboss ended up with a ban. As his appeal failed, the crew was given to the next eligible holder. At that point, it turned out the members should have been selected more carefully as the new holder sold the crew to MrMiss for 250 points. MrMiss then formed SF. Sadly, he refused to give out the name of the member that sold him the crew.

The return of SF was accompanied by a shock. SF, having been wiped of the statistics a pretty long time ago, was thought 'dead' by the largest part of the Bootleggers community. Amazement rose as that same community witnessed the return of this crew. However, their return was immediately followed by the creation of a Game Forum topic called “Attention BL ~Sempre Famiglia~”. The topic creator, MsPMS, stated that “Diesel and Kinky have not given permission to Wartie and MrMiss to use the name of Sempre Famiglia. As you are all very well aware, Sempre Famiglia have not been on the statistics for quite sometime and that is how they want to remain.” The thread demanded a name change or SF would have to suffer the consequences. “Should they choose not to, they will be shot at and taken down, the spot will be up for grabs and you will lose all your members,” MsPMS wrote. In a response, SF promised to change their name.

However, the plans seemed to change as the spot was sold to xthezex, who founded her own crew: PL. Yet, this was not what happened according to MrMiss, the SF crewboss and owner of the spot. He claimed that his account had been hacked. Selling the spot hadn't been his intention and he said it was the hacker that sold the crew. However, fact remained the spot was now in the hands of xthezex and her crew. In a response, she kindly answered some questions for the Buzz. “I bought the spot for 2.5k points,” she told the Buzz. Adding, “Our plans are to be the peaceful crew here which will bring love and peace to the game and make some good work here.”. The crew's name was one of the first things to catch our eye. Apart from the explanation on the crew profile, xthezex also explained the name to the Buzz. “We picked up the name to honor those who pay there life there souls in order to let others live to those who don't sleep at night trying to get their land back to those kids who fight guns and plans with some rocks to all Palestinians to The Palestinian strugglers,” she explained.

This leaves the spot in the grasp of Palestinian Liberation. According to their crewboss, “Days will show us what will happen.” To end her interview, she said, “I really wanna thank all ppl who helped me out doing stuff to all ppl who respect me and trust me and I do the same.” This phrase would conclude the article. What will happen to PL is unknown. What we know is they'll do their best to stay on the statistics as long as they can.
