Death On The Horizon! Makem2
On April 14th, Event Horizon were rocked by a swift attack on their crew by Silkysmooth, who is Believed to be the boss of The Syndicate. Following his attack on Event Horizon he left a deep impact on the crew with his flurry of kills. The players to fall victim and their ranks to his onslaught were as follows, Woofsnark ranked Don, VimPrestixioX ranked Respectable Don, Shwayze ranked Respectable Don, Koty ranked Don, Cre4my ranked Don. However, the biggest shock was the killing of Event Horizon's two State Dons Kika and Lordwell.

Unfortunately, Silkysmooth did not comment on his kills and would not answer any questions we at the Buzz had for him. However we were able to get in touch with two members from Event Horizon to see if they could shed some light on this situation. The first member to be interviewed by the Buzz was JDW, a member of the crew council for Event Horizon. We asked him what effect the attack would have on Event Horizon, to which he replied, “From the outside, it will look like Event Horizon are very weak and vulnerable, but we will re-group, and look what to do next. This isn't the first time we've taken a hit from an underground crew.” The Buzz then pressed on to ask, how valued the members that were lost were to crew. “Each and every member of Event Horizon is valued, but today we lost two State Dons, council members and other very good members. It's a blow, but like I said, we've dealt with much bigger attacks from stronger underground crews before,” JDW said. So it would seem Event Horizon are sad for their loss but are still standing strong and continuing to press on despite the attack.

Our next question for JDW was if he knew what triggered the attack of The Syndicate. He said, “Something that happened earlier on in the round I believe. I won't go into it, but we pick our sides.” The real meaning of his words,or the event he meant to refer to remain unknown. Finally, we wondered would Event Horizon seek revenge and retaliate for this attack. JDW told us, “We won't go diving into anything” but then he added ,“but who doesn't retaliate after an unprovoked attack?” Could this mean that Event Horizon are after blood to avenge their fallen members? guess we will have to wait and see.

Still wanting to find out what may have tempted The Syndicate's attack on Event Horizon, the buzz decided to ask none other than their crew boss MzB to enlighten our curiosity. We asked MzB, if she could share her thoughts as to why Event Horizon had been attacked. MzB was more than happy to, saying, “I am not sure what you want me to say really but when S&M [Smoke and Mirrors] was on statistics, and they were in sided by Treadstone & shot by The Syndicate, ten Event Horizon accounts were shot at that time.” She then went on to add, “We were told The Syndicate would shoot us for 'choosing the wrong side'. But that could all be just rumours.” It would seem the reason for Event Horizon to be shot was the fact that the crew had sided with players The Syndicate considers to be the enemy.

Until next time stay safe and live wise.
