For the past couple of weeks, a crew war has arose on Bootleggers over one of the most prized possessions on the game; a bullet factory. The two participants of the crew war are, Event Horizon and J.A.I.L. Both crews have been trigger happy so far, with both crews claiming Penny bullet factory. It started with Event Horizon getting shot by The Family, who we are under illusion then sold the bullet factory to J.A.I.L. Event Horizon made it known that they weren't happy about the current situation and that Penny bullet factory was still their property, they promised that they would take it back. Two weeks later, J.A.I.L disappeared from the statistics, with Event Horizon taking back the bullet factory. J.A.I.L replied instantly and took it back again. But what lies ahead for the future of both of these crews? The Buzz went to find out.
First of all, we took our notepad to BettyBReady, and by her name we assumed that she was indeed ready. We thanked BettyBReady for agreeing to an interview with us, and dived in with our first question. We wanted to know what Event Horizon's current stand on the claim of penny BF, and with it being back in J.A.I.L's hands, is it something that she was going to continue to pursue? She told us, “You will have to wait and see if we plan to continue, don't want to give anything away.” This certainly intrigued us, we wanted to know more. Seeing as BettyBReady didn't look like she was willing to give much away, we asked if she was still claiming Penny BF? She replied, “Penny & Illi BFs are property of EH until or unless EH sells them.” Straight to the point. We referred to a previous interview, where BettyBReady stated that she believed The Family were the ones who sold Penny bullet factory to J.A.I.L, we wanted to know if she thought that there was now some kind of alliance between the two crews? She told us, “Yes, I do have that belief.” Interesting, we wondered if there was any other reason for BettyBReady to think that, other than that she thought The Family were the culprits who sold the bullet factory to J.A.I.L? “All I have to go by is rumours and info from people who's names I won't say.” Was her reply.
Moving on with the interview, we were curious about the fact it took Event Horizon two weeks to shoot back for their property. Upon shooting, they were retaliated upon near enough instantly. This has caused uproar in the bootlegging world, with some players stating that Event Horizon have, “lost their touch.” We asked BettyBReady if she had a message for those people? She told us, “When you've been fighting an UG war with TF as long as we have, you need a break once in a while. People can think what they wish, doesn't matter to the members of EH.” Strong words! By that answer, we asked if we could see more from Event Horizon in the future, BettyBReady's answer told a lot, “As a stats crew we won't be around for a while, however we are not yet done.” This implied that Event Horizon will be heading into the dark and gloomy world of the underground for now, in an attempt to reclaim what they believe is their property and more importantly, continue fighting their rivals, The Family. We thanked BettyBReady for her time, and asked her if she had anything to add, she told me to, “have a lovely weekend,” but that's not important.
Unfortunately, we couldn't get the boss of J.A.I.L, Skinwalker to interview, due to myself and him not being online at the same time, so we approached FoxieV5, council member of J.A.I.L instead. As always, we thanked FoxieV5 for agreeing to interview, and dived in with our first question, we wanted to know if J.A.I.L as a crew, believed they had the right to claim Penny bullet factory after the means in which they acquired it, and if he was aware that BettyBReady is still claiming the bullet factory? He replied, “It is true they still claim it, yes. On the other hand: We fairly bought the bullet factory, so it is definetely our good right to claim penny bullet factory.” A very honest answer. We wondered if FoxieV5 could bring some light over the dispute as to who sold the bullet factory to J.A.I.L, but he was reluctant to tell us but he did add a little bit more information about Event Horizon's claim to the bullet factory, “In my opinion I think Betty can't claim bullet factories, as long this is a game and the bullet factories can be claimed by any person/crew. I am not sure if the people we bought it from would be happy to have their name mentioned here, so I am going to leave that question open.”
We wanted to know what FoxieV5 thought about the length of time it took Event Horizon to shoot for what they believed was their property? He said, “I think J.A.I.L. is a strong crew with loyal members. We were high ranked and their accounts are getting shot almost once a week. It is no surprise for me that 80% of their members went underground.” Interesting, but we wanted to know more. We asked if FoxieV5 believed that now Event Horizon are heading off into the underground, will they be seen as more of a threat? He replied, “Yes, I think they become more of a threat now. We can't protect ourself by shooting them earlier than they shoot us because we don't know their accounts.” This made us believe that J.A.I.L were very much up for this war and it sounded as if they already planned on shooting Event Horizon in an attempt to stop them from shooting first! The Buzz loves juicy details!
We moved away from the fact that J.A.I.L were currently at war with Event Horizon, and asked the question that I'm sure is on every ones mind, now that J.A.I.L are claiming a bullet factory, are they really still just a busting crew? “Yes, we are still the busting crew like we were before the bullet factorie. We just make a bit of extra money with the bullet factory, this will go into donations and hosts for bust competitions in the game forum.” A modest answer from FoxieV5. Back to Event Horizon though, did FoxieV5 believe that J.A.I.L now had what it takes to see out the war with Event Horizon, beat them in this on-going war and ultimately continue their time on the statistics as the busting crew? He told us, “I think there is always a chance of getting shot. If that is not now, it will be in the future. With only the new 10 crews max rule and having a bullet factory the chances of getting shot are higher than before. Still our whole crew support our descisions. We are loyal to each other and will always come back. Let's hope we can continue as busting crew on the stats for a long time!” This just about wrapped up our interview, we thanked FoxieV5 for his time and told him we were excited to see what the future has in store and asked if there was anything he would like to add. He finished on a simple, “We look forward to that too! I have nothing to add. Thanks for the interview and making our story public .”
So there you have it, a crew war fuelled by the rights and ownership of Pennsylvania bullet factory. But who really has the right to claim this? Both parties make valid points to go towards their arguments. I guess there is only one way to solve this, that will be a fight to the end! We at the Buzz are more than certain that this isn't the end of this story, so keep your eyes peeled to see if anything happens this week regarding both J.A.I.L and Event Horizon. If it does, you know that the Buzz will have it covered in next weeks issue!
