This week a new writer joined us; Aldo. At this moment he’s boss of Axteze and he has played Bootleggers for quite a while. We’re glad to have him in the team, but as everyone else, he has to face the ‘Meet-The-Buzz-Interview’. What kind of person is this new writer? Keep reading and you’ll figure that out yourself!
Hello Aldo! Could you please introduce yourself to the one and only Bootleggers Community?
Hello, my name is Mike and I'm 21 years old, most of you will know me as Aldo. I'm from the north west of England and I currently live in a small town called Barrow-In-Furness!
Funky town name. Do you study at this moment?
Nope, my studies don't really go past high school.. and even then I didn't turn up to half of my exams. I went to college for a year, but again didn't turn up to my exams. I've nearly always been in work since I left school but I recently lost my job. I was the assistant manager of a cash generator store, but I had a bit of a domestic with the boss and it ultimately lead to me being fired.
What kind of job was it?
It was like a second hand shop, but on a massive scale for a franchise company! I enjoyed it, but unfortunately, my boss was a bell end.
Tell us about your boss!
Paranoid, stressed out weirdo seems to sum him up pretty well! Haha!
Could you share a story between you and your boss?
I didn't have much interaction with him, he was constantly doing other things while I ran his shop for him.
You said you started working after school. Why?
I really loved school, but I got in with a bad crowd and went through a period of my life which I regret, I had no qualifications so I figured it would be the best thing to do! My first job was packing chips in a Chinese take away!
You're 21. It's never too late for a study! Five minutes later...
Sorry about the late reply, I had to nip for a quick poo. Yeah, but now I am older I would rather work and earn money I think!
What kind of job do you want?
In all honesty, I'm not sure.. I'm originally a sales person, it's what I am best at. So something along those lines. I wouldn't mind doing it on a larger scale, like a stock broker or selling timeshare!
Got a company in mind?
Nope, my main concern at the moment is finding any job and then start looking at options for the future!
If you had the choice to study, what kind of study would you take?
Drama, I really enjoyed it at school! I initially wanted to be a drama teacher in school!
Fan of Shakespeare?
Nope, I've never read a play in my life, I just enjoyed doing it, I think!
Back to Bootleggers. What's your opinion of the current state of the game?
Mixed, I do think there needs to be some improvements, but I don't think it's as bad as people are making it out to be. I think these people generally need something to moan about it. The game is nowhere near as active as it used to be, but I don't think that's due to lack of a Blackjack update. I think it's to do with the age of the game more than anything. I am looking forward to the crew update though, when it comes.
What kind of feature would you create if you were BSF2000?!
I really, really don't know
Wrong answer.
I'm a big fan of the forums, so maybe something similar to Facebook, were you can like a status, you can like a topic! Is that right enough for you?!
Now about Axteze. You're boss of that crew. Tell us something about it!
I literally have the best and funniest members I've ever come across on the game. The banter we have is unreal!
What about the crew name? Explain?!
I'm sure you asked me about this when we first came to the statistics, it was something that my co-boss liked, I think he had a crew called Axteze before on a different game. The name was temporary to begin with but everyone liked it so we kept it!
What about your own nickname?
My nick name in real life Goffi, because my last name is Gough!
And your Bootleggers username?
Aldo is actually a really weird name for me and the story behind it is also rather silly. Just before I started playing Bootleggers, I was on the bus home from school and me and some friends were messing around at the back of the bus! We ended up ripping some wires out and the alarm wouldn't stop going off, the bus driver went mental and called the school. When he asked for our names to report us to the school, I lied and told him my name was Aldo, I don't know why, I don't know how it came into my head and I still do not know. After I lied about my name I pushed past him and ran away, and I got away with it because I didn't give my real name!
Naughty bastard! Time for some short questions; favourite colour?!
Blue!
You have pets?!
Yes, two cats.
Names!
Tuscan and Smokey!
Obama or Romney?
Obama because I don't know who Romney is!
Favourite meal?
Pan fried duck and chips with gravy and yorkshire puddings!
Favourite BL player?
A guy called PT from back in my Pezzo Novantes days!
Favourite feature on Bootleggers?
The kill feature!
Last question! Why would someone want to be a Buzz Writer?
I think the main reason for wanting to be a buzz writer would be, because to enjoy it! There is no point in doing it for the fame because you would just get bored of it!
And that’s it for this week! Who will be the next victim next week? There’s only one way to find out; see you next week!
