Exclusive Interview with Confectionary sprog
Tuesday came with the same sleepy start for most of us here on bootleggers, it quickly became apparent that a major change had taken place. There was a State Don missing from the states page, soon after the game forum was flooded with congratulatory posts to Confectionary, she had made history, she had become Bootleggers first Nation Don.

I was fortunate enough to interview Confectionary later on Tuesday afternoon. Here’s what she had to say;

1) Many of us have made wild guesses on the game forum about the true abilities of a N. Don, but, please tell us, what are the actual main advantages of becoming Nation Don?

“The 5 minute searches and the ability to use my personal bullet factory in all States are the 2 main advantages.”

2) Because State Dons have been around a lot longer, in game terms, we are vaguely aware of what they are capable of (thinking back to the atonements Bloody Thursday), but What are the main differences from State Don to Nation Don?

“State Dons only receive profits from their own State, can only search for 5 minutes in their own State. S.Dons can build a bullet factory but it is only available in their own State and they have a silver profile.”

“Nation Dons receive profits from all States, they can complete 5 minute searches in all states and can access their personal bullet factory from any State. They also have a gold profile.”

3) As many are aware, you are part of Winter Hill Gang; will you be using your new status to your crews advantage?

“Of course I will! As many players have already seen, I have a low kill count. The main reason for this is because I only make crew kills. But me being a Nation Don doesn’t make me, or any other crew member, think WHG (Winter Hill Gang) is the strongest or the best crew.”

4) How happy are you on a scale of 1 to 10 that you have made it to the top of the game?

“777! (Off the scale in other words) but I’ll stick with 10 I guess. It’s my first time having a Bootleggers first, so I am definitely proud of it. I’m sure anyone who will ever reach this rank would feel the same no matter how long they survive.”

5) One question that I’m sure many people have been asking is; will your new status affect they way you play on a day-to-day basis?

"Yes and no, I will still be the same person I was when I started Bootleggers but with a gold profile. Quite a few people have already suggested I go on a killing spree but I’ve got no need to yet. I will still only be doing kills for WHG. I also will still OC with my OC team as I couldn’t of reach Nation Don without them."


Well, I can see you are extremely please with all the changes made, including your exclusive gold profile. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen straight from the cream cake herself, confectionary. Look out, Nation Dons are here to stay.
