Assassins Spreed II POI2000
To be honest with you with title gold like this I had no choice but to try for a sequel, and Tommey and Hilaerius provided me with the excuse I needed by shooting 66 accounts and for the sake of the title at least one of them was an Assassin.


And so it continues, a few crews exerting their power over many this time in the form of Virtual Reality Boss Hilaerius, and member Tommey. This continues what we struggle to class as a ‘new’ trend as seemingly it’s how things are done now; random shootings.
On Thursday, Tommey started the attack killing a total of 36 players over the course of a few hours; a fairly impressive independent spree. The Buzz contacted him for questioning during his spree but he was understandably busy and has since been unavailable for comment. On Friday, fellow Virtual Reality member and Boss, Hilaerius aka Aerius joined in the action by adding 30 more kills to the total. That made 66 kills in total over the course of two days, with seemingly no target. None of the accounts were linked by any crew ties, country of origin, time in the shooting range, the only thing they had in common was that they were almost all Assassins.

The Buzz got in touch with Hilaerius to see what he had to say about it all. Firstly we tried to establish the details of what had happened, and how much resources Virtual Reality used up, Hilaerius said they had used “aprox 85,000” bullets and confirmed the kill counts we mentioned earlier; “36 Tommey, 30 Aerius”. So the practicalities out of the way we delved deeper into the minds of the shooters, asking whether these kills had any new intention or if they were simply a continuation of the TT/TF/EH/KO/VR shootings. Hilaerius explained “This spree was to make sure that potential dangerous accounts wouldn't have enough power to kill” and that targets were picked “randomly”. This seems to be a continued tactic of the rainbow coalition of current in game dominators: if they shoot everyone as soon as they reach a rank of any kind of meaning people will struggle to fight back, a plan that so far seems to be going off without a hitch.

Hilaerius ended the interview by explaining that the opportunity was still there for people to rank up if they wanted to, by joining North Korea, then you would be relatively safe as “We only shoot members of North Korea if they disobey our great leader.”

So a choice to be made, try and survive on the outside with the risk of seemingly constant random death, or pay to hopefully stay alive. Whatever choice you make good luck, and “Happy new year bootleggers” from Hilaerius.
