What is your real name and age?
Ross, 19.
Where do you live?
Preston, England.
How long do you play Bootleggers?
Approaching 5 years.
Why did you start playing?
A mate and I (Absolution) were browsing the internet and he came across it.
Who are your Bootleggers friends?
There have been loads over the years. But the top few have to be Uncharted, Kamikaze, Himmel and Smig.
What is your favorite Bootleggers crew?
TI of course. I also hold my former crew The Pentarchy in high esteem.
How did you come up with your current username?
It's a song by The Stone Roses, although I always tell everyone it's because I'm allergic to shoes and they eat my toes.
What do you think about the Buzz?
I only really read it when my crew or friends are featured.
What was the best dream you ever had?
I dreamed I was on Get Your Own Back with a teacher who told me off when I was about 8, that was an epic dream.


Fluxxeh

What is your real name and age?
Luke, 19.
Where do you live?
The so called "Sunshine coast", south east of the UK.
How long do you play Bootleggers?
Im sure I started around 2005, but due to short attention spans I didn't keep it up. Then about a year ago I decided to start playing again as I realised I had too much time on my hands.
Why did you start playing?
A friend of mine who was (apparently) quite well known urged me to join and eventually apply to the plague, never got in though.
Who are your Bootleggers friends?
They are more than just bootlegger friends; Greg, Kerry, Accumi, Xylor, Gabs, a lot of former TV members and many more who I'd like to remain annonymous.
What is your favorite Bootleggers crew?
Of course my former crew The Vanguard, but excluding them then it would either be The Invisibles or Event Horizon.
How did you come up with your current username?
At the time of joining back up I was listening to Bloc Party - Flux and I liked the name. Also recently discovered a group of people who make dubstep music called Flux Pavilion which helped me reinforce my decision to keep it as my name. (see my profile for a song)
What do you think about the Buzz?
Oh god! I love reading the buzz regardless of how many articles are in it and I cannot wait each sunday for it to come out... I'll like this issue especially.
What do you think about American Pie and what was your favorite?
I loved the naked mile one. But all of the American pie franchise is good.


Azula

What is your real name and age?
Rafael. 19 years.
Where do you live?
The Netherlands.
How long do you play Bootleggers?
It all started in may 2004 for me, but after a few months I quit untill November 2006.
Why did you start playing?
Two friends of mine used to play another mafiagame which I started aswell, via that I found Bootleggers. In the beginning I wasn't really bothered playing untill a friend of mine told me in 2006 that he was also playing again, so I gave it a shot.
Who are your Bootleggers friends?
The best 2 friends I have are Neddy and Lexia. Trojan (faggot) quit.
What is your favorite Bootleggers crew?
From last round The Supremacy, best crew I have been in so far. But for this round defenatly Smoke and Mirrors.
How did you come up with your current username?
It's one of the character from Avatar (the cartoon version).
What do you think about the Buzz?
Always looking forward to read it every sunday, and finally got asked for 'Behind the Name'.
What other games do you play beside Bootleggers? Non internet games as well?
I used to play CS Source, but somehow it doesn't work anymore. Now I play COD 4 sometimes when I get bored.
