I know the dilemma. You have a top ten or even a top five budget, but want to get full streaks. Where do you go?
- Silent Assassins - the only syndicate in Crime City to never miss a single streak. First place, great teamwork and leadership, and TAW, Slackerz, and everyone else lays down for an hour when they see them coming. Only problem? Your budget is top 5, not top 1.
- TAW? 39 players and 2 minis. Good for second. Some serious scorers at the top and some serious lunatics as well. What's the problem? No streaks. And it isn't exactly cheap, although these days, I'm not sure anyone knows if they have a min or what it is.
- Slackerz? Getting cheaper. 2-3 really strong scorers, then a bunch of mooches with no loyalty riding the coattails. Not a bad deal, TBH. Very similar to Rons Dons when Tamsta carried everyone, or TAW/FC when all the FC lifers mooched off tam. The problem? No streaks. As soon as they get SAS they have to just bend over and cry.
- HTC-Blue? Let's face it. It's been falling apart ever since Sarc quit the game. Some would argue falling apart since mxz and dipstik left. More balanced scoring, did an ill advised merger with TAW which hurt both teams, and once again, SAS comes up on 7/11 and they are back to advertising about 50 wins.
So where does that leave you? Silent Assassins 2. Full streaks, top 5, great teamwork, and the top scorer in the game. It means never facing SAS, and if you do, you'll get to see what tying SAS looks like - or even see SAS let you win. Because that's what teamwork is all about.
