This Monday we at the Buzz suddenly heard gunshots and looked at who were being hit and were shocked to see that The Priory were being wiped. As the professional reporters that we are, we went in search of who would do this heinous crime and soon the name Hoofdy started appearing around the site along side the crew name Most Wanted.
So we went off in search for what happened. We managed to get in contact with Aaron the boss of Most wanted (who didn't wish for his current name to be known) to answer some of our questions about why this happened. His answer to why they decided to shoot was that "Most Wanted has and always will have a problem with Gangster Sanctuary/The Priory". He went on to say that the reason for this dislike was for a "number of things really. I'm not a great lover of their attitudes, their members nor the fact they pretend to be a different crew, not GS -yet all the members are the same." Continuing with why he decided to shoot The Priory we asked him about why they were one of his most hated crews. He said that he didn't get along with some of the members of GS at the beginning of the round also that he "didn't like the say they sit around doing nothing. If a crew has two very valuable assets at their disposal and still do nothing with them, I don't see why they should have them, or a crew to be honest." So were they claiming the bullet factories? He responded that it was "Something like that. I'll keep taking them until they release their little grip on them."
We went on to ask why he didn't believe that The Priory were a new crew and instead off a spin-off of Gangster Sanctuary. Aaronsaid that it was pretty obvious and "they all wear GS related pictures, property and council - they might as well save themselves the embarrassment of pretending to be a different crew and name it GS." We then questioned whether or not this point of view went with all crews which began at the end of previous crews, such as Axteze began when Boston Mob dissolved he replied that "I can't really comment on crews that I don't know nor take much notice of to be honest."
We managed to get hold of the co-boss of The Priory Voluns who on the topic of Gangster Sanctuary and The Priory being the same crew with a change of name said that "I think it's a very confusing matter and a lot of people make a similar mistake. In a way this is a good thing as it allows us to officially and publicly explain that we are not the same crew. The reason we have so many GS members is because both Ghyslayne and myself are former members so we have a lot of friends who belong to both. MrLawrence is a very respected player who gives us both a lot of advice and for that we are happy to house and protect his bullet factories and welcome him as council however the leadership of the crew is structured very differently and we have many members (approximately half) who are not GS."
So was there more to the story, to begin with we heard from Volunsthat they had caught an insider after noticing some suspicious activity, "He was broke and begging in the forums then suddenly became a millionaire". Not long after the first shot was fired "we had him kicked and refused to let him back in. Happily this dislodged some of their plans. They went on to buy a crew spot and died very shortly afterwards wasting even more resources". So we asked Aaron about this he said that "Yeah, we had a member of Most Wanted in the crew but there wasn't anything to be gained or lost if he stayed in the crew or kicked, as he was. The wipe still went ahead, as planned - nothing changed."
We wanted to know some more of the fine points of the wipe such as how many bullets were used which Aaron told us that for the crew wipe and some other "randoms" around $850k bullets used and along with some personal hits the total number of bullets that flew through the sky equalled just under a million. So did they come from points or just a lot of hard work stocking them up, Aaron answered this saying that bar the personal hits they were all bought with money at bullet factories. So what did Voluns think about the wipe "I think that it was done very poorly. I've seen Most Wanted shoot multiple times but taking 45 minutes to kill so few accounts is just sloppy. I can understand needing an extra minute to pick up the bullet factory but we had far too much time between each person getting shot we could have saved the crew but we knew the risk of being insided was high and we wanted to deny Most Wanted their usual pleasure of having a crew spot on the stats." So in their eyes not the best shooting in the history but did they loose a lot of their resources? Voluns told us that "In all honesty not that much a few million to pick up the bullet factories about 1000 points to kill the surface members of Most Wanted and some high ranked accounts it wont take us long to rebuild as you can see we are already back on the stats."
We wanted to know more about Most Wanted, Aaron told us that they "don't particularly have any set aims or goals. We're not after fame or to gain some amazing reputation - we just enjoy doing as we please to people that we might not like, or who might piss us off. It's a group full of friends that have known each other for a very long time." So what about the killer as a legendary don didn't he want to try and take the next stage up to state don, Aaron said that "He did, but we was running out of time. He has a busy time ahead of him in real life, so won't be around much and wanted to use up that account, with that rank and gun."
From this point on will The Priory be looking over their shoulders watching out for Most Wanted to continue shooting them as they have promised, we asked Voluns if he think they are in risk still, "To be honest I don't maybe in a few months when they have rebuilt but right now I think this cost them more than they bargained for." Are there any future plans for The Priory Voluns told us that his crew will "Continue what we were doing, ranking and building up resources, We are still hoping for a boost after Hoofdyy was banned but only time will tell."
So finally we asked whether either Aaron or Voluns had anything they wished to add before we left them. Aaron said that "Only that any crews caught helping or aiding GS/TP will also be dealt with. I'm not sure why other crews feel like they need to get involved in problems or other peoples business." Whilst Voluns said "Thank you to our friends who have helped us today and hopefully I have shed some light on the difference between The Priory and Gangsters Sanctuary"
