Day 7 of the Rat Wars

[Burn]

"Let us, therefore, brace ourselves to our duties and so bear ourselves, that if this Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say "This was their finest hour".


Obvious big news today is a report that one of the existing crews, The Indians, who include some of the games highest stat players, have all collectively dropped to 499.

Stay tuned to this and the Day 6 thread for updates on this.

Sadly this also means we lose Koralene, who rightfully has had to remain loyal to her original crew. Thx for the efforts you put in prior to this K.

Anyone else that thinks this change has made Rat Catching too risky a pursuit is welcomed to hang up their boots - this was meant to be a fun way to prove that by acting as a group we had the strength to change the very dynamics of the game - we achieved that in spades. No player crew or coalition has ever made such an impact, so quickly. You should be immensely proud of that.

Rat Catchers, I salute each and every one of you.

I will use my new gun to exterminate the ratz!

This is the first time I have seen the game changed by the players, Rat Catching was far reaching and for me and reading the forum a large number found it very good fun, even moreso than recent box events which are now becoming lac-luster with the same old formula.
I'm not spending a penny on this event but if it took gold to play Rat Catching I'd be broke now!
A new comradery is apparent and I for one will not forgot those that stood forward.
Fellow Rat Catchers....I salute you

Can't help but think this an awful decision by the Indians, and I bet there are plenty of their crew that agree.

Affiliating with the Rat Catchers would have cemented the Indians position as the most righteous of the top-end crews, certainly it would have secured them the moral high ground. Presumably it would also have served them well as regards future recruitment.

Poor poor decision.

I'm an Indian and I dropped 7 days ago.........

You are a plum, and the only thing that dropped 7 days ago was your one testicle.

Burn deserves big kudos for making public the 499ers attempts to hide behind the system. I am attacked all day long by my rivals 499 and above. So Indians please visit me! Honestly I dont care about being robbed as I am earning 3m + a day from robbing and could happily sell my hood and live off robbing but I feel it adds excitement and tension back to the game to be robbed and rob back! Today I was robbed by a well know member of the forum who is way higher than me in stats and while he was getting 0 from my empty buildings and left with nothing I helped myself to his hood and walked away with 100k... whoops!

We dropped down to 499 as we don't get along with a certain individual in your cause. He has slandered all indians over and over again. Made fake accounts with attempt at causing problems amongst us and then come back claiming he didn't do it and trying to be a peace keeper. Until he is no longer involved, we have no choice but to not get involved and stay at 499.

Yes they did have a choice everyone has a choice in life. Like the Indians choice is to drop a mafia based on the fact that they hate just 1 person from the rat catchers instead of taking the high road you choice to do this. Well if I ever get high enough stats And was asked I would never join the Indian crew not after this. Btw this isn't attacked at you because you did a great job with us.
