When Takeovers Go Bad JustDrew
This week was full of shootings and takeovers but one particular attempt didn’t quite go as planned. Members of an underground crew known as The Black Out (TBO), decided they wanted a spot on the stats page. They considered The Spartan Warriors (TSW) to be the weakest and easiest target. Initially the plan was to shoot the members of TSW in an old school fashion. However, it was determined that with MrMiyagi as an insider, things could be done quicker and cheaper.

A little more research was done and it was decided that only two kills would need to be made. If Youn was shot, the crew would pass to the successor. After shooting the successor, MrMiyagi would have the spot and it would be given to TBO. With the planning stage over, it was time to take action. Youn was shot first, dropping the crew to the successor. After waiting 2 hours, TBO shot the successor, watching MrMiyagi take control of the TSW crew spot.

So the crew now belonged to TBO right? This part of the plan failed as MrMiyagi kicked the remaining members of TSW and put the crew up for sale. Another plan would shortly fail as he was banned for reasons only known by himself and the Moderator who issued the ban. It appeared as all of the planning and two properly executed kills resulted in a failed takeover. That would not be the case though, as a member of TBO was able to pickup the crew spot when it was dropped by a member of the Elite Guard.

However, we all know that a crew can fall as quickly as it rises. With that being said, congratulations to The Black Out for making it to the Stats Page! I would also like to apologize for the lack of information and quotes in this article but nobody seemed to be willing to talk about the takeover.
