Bootleggers Buzz Contest HowlingMadMika
Those of you who have actually read the teaser may have already had an idea on what type of contest the Buzz will be hosting. It was done first by former Senior Moderator Air who placed the Testaccount into The Imperium, a crew at the time, and donated to the account a special car. It was the task of the players to try and steal the car, the winner would receive the car and an addition financial prize from the Buzz.

Later that round, the contest was repeated. It was up to players to find and, if member of a crew, shoot a hidden account using hints. The crew of the player who killed the account would be given the honor of hosting a new version of what Air had dubbed the Grand Theft Mania. After the account by the name of Togo, named after the lead dog of Leonhard Seppala and hero of the 1925 Serum Run to Nome, it was placed in The Invisibles, holding a special car to be stolen. Again, the winner received both a special car and a prize.

In honor of Event Horizon's five year anniversary, the crew and the Buzz will be hosting another Grand Theft Mania. This time, a car thief wanted by the FBI has found refuge within the crew of Event Horizon. In his possession: a lot of cars including one Bootleggers has not seen before. This man, looking no older than a kid, is called Lester Joseph Gillis, alias BabyFaceNelson. “What car does he have in his possession?” I hear you ask. Ah, well, that is up to you to find out.

At some point this week, BabyFaceNelson will be placed into Event Horizon with all his cars. Everyone, including HDOs, Buzz writers and Event Horizon members, may then attempt to steal this rare car. Event Horizon has donated ten million dollars to be given to the lucky player to steal the car. In addition, the Buzz will throw in a further $2,500,000 and 500 points, making a total of $12,500,000 and 500 points prize.

The contest will begin as soon as the account BabyFaceNelson is placed in Event Horizon, and will end whenever the winner has been confirmed and checked for cheating.

Game Rules:
  • The contest will run from whenever BabyFaceNelson joins Event Horizon till the announcement of the winner.
  • Everyone is eligible to participate in the contest.
  • The player who has stolen the special car is asked to contact Mika to claim the prize.
  • In the event of the winner being a cheater, the car will be placed back on the contest account as soon as reasonably possible, and contest will resume.
