We at the buzz would like to welcome back the weekly segment Behind the Name!
We had a little talk with 2 members of The Vanguard, however one of them died after our interview unfortunately.
We hope you enjoy the new 'old' weekly segment!
Rappat
What is your real name and age? Matt and age 27.
Where do you live? I live all the way in Ontario, Canada.
How long do you play Bootleggers? I have played Bootleggers for 11 years.
Why did you start playing? I started play Bootleggers because my brother stumbled on this game when it started and after little while of him playing it he asked me to join too.
Who are your Bootleggers friends? I have too many to mention. They know who they are.
What is your favorite Bootleggers crew? My favorite Bootleggers crew is of course The Vanguard.
How did you come up with your current username? When I first started playing the game I couldn't come up with a name. So I started thing of things. I ended up thinking that I like rap music and I could us Rappa.. But that seemed too boring. So I used the first letter in my last name at the end of it. So I got RappaT.
What do you think about the Buzz? I think the buzz is great! Always great stuff to read and keep you busy.
What are your goals on Bootleggers? My only goal left is to reach State Don.
Do you prefer freezing to death or jumping in a vulcano? I'd jump in the valcano. The faster the better.
Ragabonz
What is your real name and age? Jim and age 26.
Where do you live? Essex, UK
How long do you play Bootleggers? I have played Bootleggers since round 1 in which I was in TBH as a shooter.
Why did you start playing? I used to go to a lan center and everyone had started playing it, the guy who owned in ruggles played chain of command and heard about the game through that
Who are your Bootleggers friends? almost everyone
What is your favorite Bootleggers crew? The Vanguard, without a doubt.
How did you come up with your current username? I was playing fifa 1998 and was going to the lan center above for the first time and had been trying to think of a gamer tag for ages I scored with Alonzo and then abonzo poped into my head randomly. Used that as my gamer tag for years, then when I was a bootcast DJ I found my love for djing at the time I was djbonzo, however when I started to do RL live shows I changed my name to DJragtimes, all my real life friends still call me ragtimes to this day. As I got older I merged my first gamertag/bl name with my dj name/nickname to become Ragabonz, so bootleggers is to thank for my new username and also the progression of my life has infact been influenced by bootleggers heavily from my djing to my nickname to my current gamer tag, to my management of TDA and TV helped me gain the skills I now use in my career as a general manager
What do you think about the Buzz? I am enjoying being a part of it
What are your goals on Bootleggers? to keep TV on stats for as long as possible.
Do you prefer freezing to death or jumping in a vulcano? A choice between slow and painful or fast and instant I would choose slow freezing, I believe that way death would be more of a reward
