Three Crews Wiped MissVanish
The past few weeks, there were not so many crews on the stats-page. If there were six crews at the same time, that would be a lot. That’s why it was a total surprise when last week three of those crews got wiped by only two killers. The crews that were wiped were the following:

  • Shadow Soldiers (SS) , a crew that got wiped a few days earlier because they hard-kicked a member of The Family (TF), that was apparently staying in SS.
  • Vatos Locos (VL), a crew that also got wiped a few days earlier,because they were allied to SS. They now just found a new boss to re-create the crew.
  • Veterans Resthouse (VR) , a crew that coloured the stats-page for a long time, also known as a neutral crew with no enemies.


This shooting was a good illustration of the fact that people always should be honest, or they will suffer the consequences. We from the buzz spoke to one of the shooters, AttilaOfTheFlatlands. He said:

”My last account was high ranked and most people were friendly to me, especially regarding OC. Then on this account, obviously I started out as a low rank and the same people were not as nice. I asked a VR member if I could join his OC as driver. He continued to bump his topic, while he ignored my question. Then when his OC was done, he wrote me an "apologetic" message saying he got a lot of messages and that now the OC was done, which was clearly bullshit. Why bump your topic if people can already fill the position? I think lying to people is rude, so I decided to kill them all, so yes, all of VR.”

According to 4bushboy, former boss of VR, no one was aware that this mistake had taken place, although he did know which member the shooter was talking about. That would be xDeadlyGiox, who had actually left VR and created VL when this accident happened. According to the VR-boss it wasn’t really necessary to kill the whole crew, because xDeadlyGiox, as being said before, had already left the crew to start his own crew. VL wasn’t allied to VRin any way, because 4bushboy told us that his crew always has been neutral, and that would not change. Meaning that they would not have any allied crews.

SS was, at the time of the wipe, still recovering from their previous wipe. This previous wipe happened not so long before the second one, for a completely different reason. They kicked a member that had been inactive for some time. They kicked him the hard way, not knowing that this member was actually a member of the game-dominating crew for the moment, TF. Understandable that this last crew was not very pleased with this hardkick-decision, which resulted in the first wipe of SS.

Like being said before, SS was still recovering from this wipe when a second attack already occurred. This time it was because none of the SS-members had a rank that was boss+. This is required if a crew wants to stay on the stats. So they asked a member of VR to be their temporary leader. Not a good time I guess, considering all VR-members were about to get shot, including the ‘allied’ crews.
TF claims to have nothing to do with this attack.

I think this is a lesson for all the current and future crews. To say it with words from the shooter:
"When one crew member makes a mistake, the entire crew should answer for it."
