Bust Parties on The Comeback!? TheLachy

Bust parties seem to be on the rise these past few weeks. A wide selective audience take part in these bust parties. We recently caught up with RebornKami about this issue. RebornKami is one of many hosts of the recent bust parties. The system in which RebornKami conducts these parties seems to be of quite a hectic nature.

The rules that RebornKami states in his busting thread are pretty simple; you must bust the creator of the thread. Each prize is unlocked once a buster reaches the successes required. You can see how simple these parties are as that basically sums all the rules up. There are 7 prizes. You can select any after you get to that amount of successful busts OR you can keep on moving up the list for the major prize. Rewards are: 1st Prize (20 Bust Successes) = $700,000 - 2nd Prize (15 Bust Successes) = $500,000 - 3rd Prize (12 Bust Successes) = $350,000 - 4th Prize (9 Bust Successes) = $225,000 - 5th Prize (7 Bust Successes) = $125,000 - 6th Prize (5 Bust Successes) = $75,000 - 7th Prize (3 Bust Successes) = $25,000. There is also a ‘special’ prize that can be won by the lowest rank that does a successful bust, the prize being a Pennsylvania Duesenberg. Being a total of $2,000,000 and a Duesenberg out of RebornKami’s own pocket.

We spoke to RebornKami about why he added the prizes to the bust party, as most people these days just enjoy the busting. He said “There doesn't need to be a prize for the bust competitions, but they do add a little bit of a competitive edge to it all and give everyone a little bit of extra motivation to come and join in for some cash/cars.” We then asked if he received any donations towards these prizes. He answered, “As of today, I've not received any donations to go towards the prize funds and it has come solely from my own pocket. Hence when I've gone and gambled all I have away on race track or any of the other casinos listed the potential planned bust parties have had to take a back seat.” So next time you see RebornKami be sure to give him a little tip for these awesome bust parties!

There was also this that RebornKami would like to add; “The final point I can think of at present is that the format although not 100% in favour of the lower ranks does test a players greed. In the sense they may try but fail to get one of the higher prizes rather than settle on something slightly smaller and in doing so come away from the bust competition empty handed.” With this being said, we here at the Buzz thought to ourselves that this implement of a reward scheme definitely adds a twist to bust parties, it separates people from greed and mere busting for fun.

We thought it would be fun to add the players’ side on RebornKami’s bust parties, so we contacted the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners of the competition. Unfortunately Natives, the winner of this bust party, we were unable to contact so the Buzz brought you Aries and Fap. Aries came 2nd in the competition and we asked his thoughts on the prizes and merely the bust party itself. He answered, “I join the bust party of David`s in Penny for the fun and interaction with other players it is not about the money at all. We all know the rank helps with busting and I enjoy helping out others no matter of rank.” It seems good he doesn’t care about the prizes, but loves helping others get their busting skills up. Now we have Fap who came 3rd in the competition, this is what he has to say about RebornKami’s bust parties; “I like RebornKami his bust party's a lot. It’s a different style of comp then I was used to do. In other parties lgf needs around 13 busts to win and with this comp you can stop (when I don’t have time to play anymore) with not so much busts and still win a prize. I don’t join for the cash, but that’s always nice. I just like to take it up against the other good busters of the game”.

So hopefully the start of a new busting era is upon us. We would like to thank RebornKami for hosting such great bust parties. We would also like to thank all the other players that lead such great parties also. We here at the Buzz would like to see a lot more bust parties. Thanks for reading!
