The Crew Ultio have been around for a while. They used to be known as The Asylum, both times led by Stow_General. But recently they have had a few issues and had to sell up. That in itself isn't surprising, it happens from time to time! However, they had massive catastrophic issues which caused the crew to be given away and a lot of hatred between members!
It all started with Stow who was visiting the Crew Vindicta and was shot (for the seventh time this round, the third time whilst visiting a crew) and decided this time he would go Underground and let his real life cousin Ezio90V2, the underboss, take control. However Ezio had some real life issues and wasn't able to be active enough to run a Crew! This led to the Crew being passed onto Dscheng who is a new timer player. He managed to achieve the rank of Don, but other then that had no idea how to run a crew. Stow made a decision to sell the Crew so he tasked Dscheng and his younger, but more experienced real life brother, Lester to find a fair and decent price.
We are sure you all remember how long that topic was in the Game Forum, Ultio for sale, so it will come as no surprise to hear they had issues. We at the Buzz decided to track down the crew members to find out exactly what went on! Unfortunately Dscheng has quit, Stow is underground and Ezio is on vacation! But we did find Lester. We first turned to why his brother had quit, to which he explained “About Dscheng and him leaving the game. He couldn't handle all the stress. His words; Stow abandoned him and told him: "take care off the crew, sell it and send the points to me." - in all good will, he tried for a week. But it was too much for a player that never played this game before. He didn't knew how to handle, he couldn't sell it. Crew members started bugging him with questions he couldn't response to. Stow was a keen guy but really close-minded about his fellow crew mates. He told Dscheng everything, and the rest (me, invalid, ramallah) almost nothing. He also said to Dscheng; don't talk to our crew members about this, I don't want them to know. So, in short: in real life, when you can't handle the stress, you get a burnout. This is what Dscheng got from all the questions, all the troubles and all the things he had to take care off. He was done with it. It's a shame though.”
So it turns out that not only was the crew for sale, but all of the members were actually forced to remain in a crew which was for sale in case the crew was shot with just one or two members inside! That must have caused a lot of stress and tension! We probed deeper into what had happened to Stow and, contrary to our opinion, we were told “I don't know if I'm suppose to tell about Stow, so I'll make it short; he has some life changing personal issues and therefore he left the game. Ezio couldn't care less about it though, he was busy with his work and didn't want to spend time on Bootleggers any more. (at least that's what I remember him saying).”
So now to the crux of the matter. The sale! Or was there a sale? We found out that after the Crew boss and underboss had quit, even invalidusername had quit (who was council), the stress getting too much for Dscheng to handle (who was also council) the Crew ended up being passed on to one of the members. That member passed the crew around until finally it made its way into Rampage25's hands! Having no idea of what to do with a crew, since he was a new member, he agreed to all of his crew mates wishes and kicked them out. Then, not wanting to remain himself, he gave the crew away for free to a friend of his who was looking for a crew spot!
With that bomb shell we have to ask was what Rampage25 did right? Who knows! It was a difficult situation in which very few people have experienced. Two new members having a Crew spot which won't sell, members shouting at them that they want to leave and the ever present fear that they could be shot as the crew numbers dwindled and dwindled, what else could he have done? If Stow or Ezio had still been around maybe this entire situation would have turned out differently, but with no real leadership to turn to he panicked and got himself out! Who can blame him?!
