Issue: 44   Editor: HowlingMadMika


Issue Searchthrough: Results HowlingMadMika
After having been given a week to find the correct answers, I was a bit surprised to find out only two players submitted all the correct answers. By the looks of it, questions four was harder than I thought. Therefore, before announcing the winners, here are the answers to the contest questions:

Question 1: What issue did Sean make co-editor?
Sean's promotion to co-editor was announced in issue 41.
Question 2: Who was the Bootleggers Buzz's first Staff Member of the Week?
Zeb was the first Staff Member of the Week, an interview with him for this segment was published in issue 36.
Question 3: Altrozero (Altro) has been known to be able to write interesting columns. In what issue did he discuss a possible overhaul of the 'Missions' feature, and what was the title of that column?
The column was titled 'The future of missions' and was published in issue 32
Question 4: This issue has reported on the disappearance and reappearance of The Clenched Fist. This is not the first time for the crew attacked, however. Which issue reports on the prior attack, and what was the reason for the shooter to attack TCF?
Issue 41 reported on an attack on The Clenched Fist. The shooter, Sioux, his reason to shoot the crew was, “I like shooting TCF.”
Question 5: The weekly segment 'Behind the Name' has had different writers from issue 30 till now. Who were these writers?
(HowlingMad)Mika, Sean(lold), and Refu have all published Behind the Name.
Question 6: This round has made history by, for the first time ever, allowing those who wished to become HDO to apply by sending a filled in application form to 5litre by BootMail. The announcement of this new method was covered on both the 'News' page and the Buzz. On what date did the search for new HDOs via this new method of applying begin?
May 27 (2010). The answer to this question could be found by reading the article published in issue 30. The issue was published on Sunday, May 30, and the article reported that recruiting had opened “This Thursday”, which was May 27.
Question 7: The Buzz has had the sad duty of reporting the resignation of VooDooDoll. Who was the writer covering the article, and in what issue was this article published?
Altro covered VooDooDoll's resignation in issue 33.
Question 8: What issue was article 552 published in?
By copying the number and using it as an article ID one would find the following link: http://www.bootleggers.us/buzz/index.php?view=552. This would provide a player with the title of the article. A little searching would reveal that this article was published in issue 39.
Question 9: At some point during the round, The Invisibles and The Order merged into one single crew. What is the name of this crew and in who reported its (supposed) appearance?
The appearance of (the) 1337 Guard was reported in issue 30 by (Buzz)Lew.
Question 10: What was the first issue our new Co-Editor published?
Sean's first issue was issue 42.

For some reason, a lot of contestants seem to have missed the article on The Clenched Fist in issue 41, claiming issue 36 (or even issues further back) to be the correct answer. The two players to submit all the correct answers were SemolinaShoes and RebornKami. Due to the limited amount of correct answers, both of them will receive $2,000,000! In addition, five random contestants will receive $250,000. All those who submitted either the correct answers or answered question four with issue 36 have been taken into account for the draw.

The winners were selected via a dice game in the Buzz Forum. Congratulations to KarelPoborsky, Creamy, Melly, d3sillusionated, and MsBettyB.

All winners are asked to contact Mika by BootMail in order to claim their prize.
