Each week we at the Buzz interview two random players of Bootleggers. How random? Well, we go to the Users Online, close our eyes and we have a few clicks. Awesome, we know. So, here are the two interviews of this week! Enjoy!
Koenvxx
Almighty KoenV, please introduce yourself to the Bootleggers community! Well I am Koenv been here for quite some time, and I would like to say I am very bad in introducing myself, I like typing with capitals on places where they don't belong!
Awesome! Do you study/work in real life?! I study economics, It's my first year.
Why economics?! I seemed to be good at it, and I didn't really know what else to do ,besides you can do a lot with it!
At least something you good at! Oops. What kind of job do you want when you finish your study? Dude it's my first year why do you let me think of the future?!
You started! But seriously, you have any idea? I would love to work at a big Company, like Coca Cola or something.
As a controller, toilet cleaner, orrr?! Well that's what’s going to happen when more people like you are distracting me in my exam week!
Toilet cleaner it is. Why a big company? Means you have to work hard! Doesn't have to be as big as Coca Cola because that's a huge company. but small companies are in my opinion more work because in Big companies there is more specialization. and in smaller companies it's more like you have to do everything. But it still depends on things like Am I going to do a Master study or not. let's give it a few more years before deciding.
Alrighty! What's your biggest dream?! To become Nation Don! No, haha I am not really a dreamer. but it's probably the same old story again like I would like to become very rich.
Money doesn't make you happy, or does it?! It doesn't, but it does make life a lot easier not to worry about your expenses.
Awesome, we'll keep in touch. Okido, time for BL questions! Current state of the game, your opinion! Times have been better (just died)! Well it's a bit boring, sometimes you don't see a shooting for weeks atm. although it seems like it's getting a bit more active lately, mostly the busters are getting more active. Still waiting for the crew-updates which is going to be interesting at least I hope they will be. and maybe this will change the current UG crews dominance.
What would you change if you were BSF2000? Well that new update where you can't see the joining dates anymore because you can't see who is who anymore and if they have been online recently. The crews, community has changed so that should change as well. And I would do some more marketing to attract people. most people who come now say it's boring, not enough people, it's not like its used to be these people should stay. Like in the beginning of these reset like 500/600 people were online it was active and fun.
How would you advertise Bootleggers on social media? I would do actions like everyone who shares the bl picture gets 100p. I think that would really work because like if you got 200/300 friends they will all see that. although I doubt a lot of people would actually share it.
Hmm, interesting! What's your favourite feature on Bootleggers? My favourite feature, ummmm I have no idea!
Wrong answer. Favourite feature?! The train station?!
Chook chook! Why?! Nah... Random questions coming up. Hottest female on the planet? Mila Kunis.
Approved. If I say Justin Bieber, you say... It just made me think of the Episode of punk'd I saw!
Uhhhhh ok. KPOP or my little pony? I have no idea what KPOP is.
My little pony it is. Samsung or apple? Apple. Else it's waste of all the money I am paying for my phone!
I was talking about fruit, HA. Riserva or BSF2000? My phone is build in fruit, yours isn't? BSF2000.
I'm asking questions here. Alright KoenVVV, what's behind your name?! 8 other names that already died.
Lame answer! Let's try again, why did you koenV and not just Koen?! Maybe you shouldn't ask weird questions that I don't understand! I have no Idea, I actually don't like the name KoenV at all, but people know me as this and will mostly call me Koen anyways so I gave up...
KauffmanV9
Alrighty Kauffman! Could you please introduce yourself to the Bootleggers community? My name is Ahmed. I'm Egyptian and I'm 24 years old. I started playing bootleggers 9 years ago but I've always been off and on. This round I started playing actively again.
Perfect! Do you work/study/thief/doing nothing? I'm currently in university studying computer engineering, hoping to be done soon!
Computer Engineering. What the hell is it?! It's more boring than it sounds actually. Mostly it's learning software engineering, and a few programming languages.
Are you able to make some fancy BOTS for Bootleggers?! Haha unfortunately not of course not I don't cheat!
Alright, we're done talking. Ktnxbai. Okkk, what kind of job can you get with your study? There's a lot of stuff I could get into, it's pretty versatile...I'm not sure what I want to do yet though.
Some examples? Software development, software implementation, a lot of stuff in telecomm companies, IT management...stuff like that.
Awesome! Why do you like it? Sadly I found out that I don't! When I was choosing what I would get into I wasn't really mature enough to make the choice. I thought "computers! I love computers!". Now I'm wishing I could have done something else, maybe medicine.
Medicine?! Now that's something else. Why medicines? It's quite a difference! Much better pay, plus I would have been doing something that matters, lol.
What are you going to do when you finished your study? Look for a job!
But don't like what you study? Isn't that a pity?! I'm going to try to make the best out of it, I've waste too much time already on it. Maybe later on when I can afford it I can go back and study something I like.
Hmm okido. Alright, Bootleggers time. What's your opinion of the current state of Bootleggers? I really think a lot of people are overstating when they say the game is ruined. All that happened is a few groups of people found out the best way to be powerful. Anyone can do it with the right discipline. The game does need some updates and overhauls, but a lot of what people complain about right now can be fixed by playing the game differently.
What would you change if you were BSF2000? The crews definitely need more benefits, but he's already working on that, so we should see that "shortly". The kill system needs to be changed to give an advantage to crews, as well as limit the amount of damage one person could do (maybe a cap on number of kills in a set amount of time). The sign up dates DEFINITELY need to come back too, I feel that was a terrible update that just makes it easier for shooters.
What's your opinion of the current staff (HDO's/MOD's)? Like most people I think Sky is doing an amazing job so far, Mika and Aldarion are competent, and Riserva is far too inactive. I'm not sure what to say about BSF. I'm sure he really does care about the game and that he does try to improve it, but his lack of communication and his setting of deadline after deadline that he can't meet has taken away the last bit of faith the community had in him. I hope he does get around to this major updates so we can all enjoy a better game. I don't really have an opinion on the HDO's. I know a lot of them have received criticism for "abusing their power" in the forums, but I don't agree with that. They do a great job with the help desk though. I always find my tickets replied to quickly and in a satisfying manner.
Awesome! What's your favourite feature? I think it's a tie between shooting and busting!
Why do you like busting? Isn't it a pity you lose everything when you die?! It's just fun...you feel a sense of accomplishment every time you reach a milestone, and you get to meet a lot of new people. A lot of my good friends on this game I met through busting. Also you lose everything except points when you die...it's the same for busts/crimes/kills/OC's etc...
Alright! Time for some random crap! BSF2000 or Riserva? BSF.
Interesting. Shooting or busting?! Haha... shooting!
I knew it! North or South Korea? South.
Buzz or BootBlast? Be honest! Lol definitely the Buzz!
Awesome! Sooo Kauffman, what's behind the name?! Just before I signed up to bootleggers for the very first time, I was playing Max Payne. There is a boss on their called Kaufmann...I liked the name so I chose it! I thought Kauffman looked cooler though so I tweeked it a little!
Two awesome interviews this week! A huge thanks to KoenV and Kauffman for the interviews! I hope you liked it, till next week!
