The Rise and Fall of Eternal Labyrinth Lewienator
Yet again we have another issue of the Bootleggers Buzz, which for this article in particular follows suit with last week’s return of The Invisibles, as they were wiped and replaced by another crew not unknown to Round Six. By the means of a successful wipe, Eternal Labyrinth returned to the statistics.

Eternal Labyrinth were the second stats crew this round, but have since been wiped by Gentleman of Fortune and The Syndicate due to their involvement in the attack on The Constant. They have since been underground and this is the first time they have reappeared again, although this proved to be a shot lived success. This return was brought on by Eternal Labyrinth shooting and wiping The Invisibles along with Virtual Reality, although both were for very different reasons of which we will bring you in this article.

Picking up from our article in the previous issue, involving the reappearance of The Invisibles, it was clear from their point of view that a wipe was expected. At least they were hopeful for retaliation. However, The Invisibles were expecting this from The Fatal Wounds; not from Eternal Labyrinth, the so called “brothers” of The Fatal Wounds, as described by iDeathMoment Under boss of the crew. On the other hand The Invisibles were not expecting a flawless return “We have no intention of upgrading our Crew size currently, the spot is more for fun than anything else, many members have chosen to remain underground.” These were the words of Himmelope one of the crew's many Bosses.

The question remains, why were The Invisibles a target? The Buzz interviewed iDeathMoment to find out. To begin with he confirmed that The Invisibles' shooting of The Fatal Wounds was in fact the reason behind the attack, as one may have expected. Yet, he also claimed that they were in possession of “their” bullet factory. A factory which they haven’t held in their possession for months, might we add.

The other crew caught up in this was of course Virtual Reality, we went on to ask why they were targeted in these attacked and were told, “no reason behind shooting them it’s just a random choice and a big crew spot.” So it seems Eternal Labyrinth was trying to show their power by attacking a large crew along with a small. The shooters appeared to be Mechatronics, who were told shot around 200,000 bullets and received a Nation Don invite soon after the attacks. The other shooters included SoloMan and poitier who shot a combined total of 230,000 bullets, iDeathMoment also added, “3200 points were used for travel and some bullets.” To conclude our interview we were told to add, “It’s a game and we are having fun, shooting crews doesn’t mean we hate them or they hate us it’s a part of the game, the main part killing and being killed.”

Later in the week, Eternal Labyrinth were wiped from the stats by Tweek, now Nation Don, on behalf of The Clenched Fist. This may have come as a surprise, seeing there is no negative history between the two crews. However, the Buzz caught up with Isolated, Under boss of The Clenched Fist, to find out their reasons behind the attack. He told us, “We shot for the three bullet factories they owned, all Eternal labyrinth crew members including their nation don, Mechatronics were killed in the attack. We have also killed state don ArTiMos. All shootings were done by our recruiter Tweek.” So it seems these bullet factories are playing the role of hot potatoes.

Isolated told us that 300,000 bullets were used by Tweek, specifically 150,000 to shoot the Nation Don Mechatronics and his body guards. Finally he wished to add, “We shot State Don Artimos because we couldn't take the risk he might help Eternal Labyrinth, nothing else.” It would seem that both The Invisibles and Eternal Labyrinth will remain underground stocking up bullets and banking.
