Thug, Level 7 in Arm Wrestling, about $110,000 in cash and about $80k's worth of cars.

My %'s for Crimes are all between 90-100%
My %'s for GTA's all hover around the 45-50% mark.

Oh, and I have a gun now too :D

Me, Wasabi, Vennt, Ping and a few others have started pulling off OCs. The advantage to a garage is that you can use a car in a garage in any state, without training it.

First of all, fuck all y'all for getting me into another web game. :(


Second, I'm "calder", I think I'm in Michigan, but I just started. I'm sure I'll play it at work way too much.

Yay, picked a pocket! That $1 bill shall be framed and placed on the mantle of my future hideout.

My status for anyone who cares

Currently in the shooting range, training for 10 hours on my crappy gun (first gun that you get). Have about $940k in cash and a Duesenburg just in case for an OC. Just got to Gangster status tonight, woo

Ok - Warning!

Don't get too rich at low rank...

I was up to 750k last night, closed up on a Million this morning.

Then I got an extortion demand, not just a scam but a bonafide request for 750k or else from a very connected player, I asked about and was assured that paying was a wise idea, and that my low-rank combined with "Wealthy" status marked me out as a target.

Now I'm down to 250k again :/

Yep, learned that lesson, keeping it in cars now.

Careful about using the bank, there have been bugs reported and some have lost banked cash.

Easy Come, Easy Go. :(

Won't take you long to build it back up.

Also watch the poker, lower hands can win due to bugs. (Best not to gamble anyway)

I'm sick. The first thing I do when I come home from work is start playing this game.

Anyway, I'm still at Pee-Wee and have yet to rob a car (at around 10%). Got around $2000, I probably should stop gambling.

Ok, it took a while but I'm a Thug now. And I made some more money from Crime, gambled just once and doubled it to about 3k. I'm going to just not play blackjack anymore.

Haha, I've stayed away from gambling so far. I did get a death threat from some dude, though. Decided not to pay him. So if I get gunned down... that's why.

Another tip:

Don't expect ANY $$ from OC's untill you're at least Boss (or higher) rank.

OC's are done at the lower levels for rank only, so 4 ppl of lower ranks doing an OC together is a waste of time and money.

Once you hit Boss, you can do OC's with lower ranks and take a larger portion of the payout, as lower ranks will OC with you just for the rank gain. The higher the diffence in rank, the higher portion you can justify taking.

At Don and above you can charge 1 million+ just for doing an OC with a group.

LOL. Mig we should have a support group for Bootleggers blackjack.

I'm still a Thug, have about 8K in cash, have 3 sorta crappy cars (2 from Michigan in Illinios and one from Illinois with me in Michigan). I take it that it's not worth fixing Beufords? The Essex has 20% damage and is only worth 8K, i might sell it.

My Crime stats range from high 70% to low 90% and I rarely fail in robbing banks. My GTA stats are all in the mid to high teens now, so stealing cars is just now starting to work for me. I'm going to steal a few more cars here in Michigan and ship em to Illinios then maybe move again. Can I travel using the car?

Oh, and I can't really use IRC here at work, can anyone give me a link to the countdown timer? That would be really handy here at work while I dabble with actual work.
