Fierce Allegiance Return KittehX
On Thursday, Bootleggers was met with carnage... the total wipeout of the crew Pure. And when we say ‘total wipeout’... we mean that the only Boss+ account in the crew was killed. This was less a ‘crew wipe’ and more a single homicide.

The shooting was carried out by HowlingMadMika in order to bring his crew, Fierce Allegiance, onto the stats. When asked why he targeted Pure's Suburban, he commented that is was because ‘there was only one Boss+ rank, a Godfather in this case, in the crew. I hold nothing against the crew or its members, I just saw an opportunity and decided to take it.”

HowlingMadMika used just 21,000 bullets to kill Suburban and take his crew spot. We can only speculate how a crew could be left so vulnerable as to have just one account able to hold the crew, in a startling breach of security.

HowlingMadMika told us that he and Aldarion, his co-boss, planned the return of Fierce Allegiance. He went on to say that “We had been thinking about having Fierce Allegiance return for quite a while. However, as both of us had already planned our vacations we decided to give it a rest and resconsider our options when we got back. I had been buying bullets every now and then already. We decided to take the crewspot of Pure, seeing it would only take one kill... like electricity, we decided to take the path of least resistance.”

Fierce Allegiance was founded by Aldarion, CharlesLuciano and Mika during the previous round, on the 8th of August 2008. This is the crew’s first appearance this round. According to Mika, Fierce Allegiance is a ‘new’ crew in the way that it was not formed out of existing crews. It has ‘no roots in or with other crews.’

The Buzz asked HowlingMadMika how the morale was in Fierce Allegiance now that they are on the statistics. “The morale is bloody brilliant." He added, "Aldarion and me had been receiving some questions about when and whether or not the crew would make a return, this was what initially triggered our conversations about a possible return, which in turn lead to this.”

And now that they are on the stats, does Fierce Allegiance have any plans for the future? “Right now we’re gathering our members to see where we stand" HowlingMadMika informed us, "We’ll start making plans once we [have] a general idea.”

We can only wait to see what these 'plans' will be. But if Fierce Allegiance can be sharp enough and adaptable enough to ignite an opportunist attack on an exposed crew, they can be sharp and adaptable enough to do some more shooting as soon as the opportunity presents itself. No doubt the other crews and property holders will be keeping a very close eye indeed...
