Ombra Di Lucifer Burns Down The Fraternity HowlingMadMika
The attack did not seem that unexpected as there had already been tension between Ombra Di Lucifer (ODL) and former State Don BigBadFraggy, who was part of The Fraternity after his death. The former State Don had been killed by an ODL member for shooting and wiping The Rapture. However, this tension was not the actual reason for the wipe. In fact, ODL had reason to assume that Avarice had shot some of their members, and Avarice was immediately linked to The Fraternity.

According to a Game Forum topic made by Prince, ODL wiped The Fraternity because the crew had aided Avarice members in shooting members from ODL. The Fraternity, on the other hand, claims that they have nothing to do with it whatsoever, and believes that ODL targeted the wrong crew. “When i contacted prince trying to know the reasons behind their shootings, he told that one of those shooters ( or both , not sure exactly ) was in our crew spot before he shot us. Now i assure you, that neither of them ever joined our crew spot at any time what so ever,” AbuRagheb, a The Fraternity crewboss, said.

The shooter, Seppuku, had been part of The Fraternity for a while. At least, according to ODL. “Bootcrews showed him joining and leaving a crew,” Prince3 said. “Not mentioning that we have access to Bootcrews but also it can be known easily, as other holders of bullets' crews were offline.” Although there is a definite contrast between what The Fraternity and ODL claim, the latter felt that the probable connection was reason enough to shoot.

Louisiana State Don, and ODL member, XaeroluX and his fellow member terrapin opened fire on The Fraternity. They were successful in wiping the entire crew from the statistics. Whereas XaeroluX took care of the higher ranks, terrapin took care of those below Boss. The ODL State Don used around 80,000 bullets to kill twenty members. “[They were] easy targets for me,” he said.

“I used 72 k bullets and 190 points. 90 points for bullets. 100 in traveling. And 8 mil cash for the searches,” commented terrapin. While his crewmate was tending to the accounts ranked Boss and above, he shot and killed twenty-eight The Fraternity members that were ranked below Boss, ensuring a complete wipe of the target crew.

The shootings were not the reason for debate, however. The reasons for which they had been carried out were. “Dionysus ( previous N.don of ODL ) was shot by PenIsland yesterday, then Seppuku attempted to shoot another S.don from ODL,” AbuRagheb said. ”There are two sides for the story, one of which is ODL's and the other is ours. From our side of view, i'll tell you we ( The Fraternity ) have nothing to do with both PenIsland and Seppuku, and we have no real reason to actually waste any of our resources on ODL when we have half a dozen other crews shooting us for our Bfs.” A valid argument, or so it would seem. Prince, however, did not agree. AbuRagheb told the Buzz, “When i contacted prince trying to know the reasons behind their shootings, he told that one of those shooters ( or both , not sure exactly ) was in our crew spot before he shot us.”

Prince had already told the Buzz that the crew had noticed that Seppuku had been part of The Fraternity as BootCrews showed the player joining and leaving a crew. “Beside it's the only thing that makes sense, neither EH nor TO has anything against us,” he said as he reflected on the shootings and the bullet factories his crew had received due to them. “We'll pass [the bullet factories] to their rightful owners when time is right. We have no intention in keeping them,” he added.

The matter was certainly not closed for as far as AbuRagheb is considered. For ODL, things that are done seem to be done and there is nothing more to it. “We have a pretty good idea on who were actually behind their shooting, but ODL are just refusing to believe the fact that dominance is bigger motive to shoot for than us wasting our resources over nothing,” he said. “I would rather not state who they are, but i'm sure it'll be known some time soon. “
