I would almost think Italy would be better for protection's sake. By the time we have enough people to make one, we probably could all afford to go overseas.

Joining Cupola has definitely been beneficial for me. Family name alone has probably kept the slugs that have been pinging us off me.

Our family starts hunting the fools that kill Cupolas.

It's a good option when you have to do something during those 3 minutes you spend in jail.

You can pay that to get out of jail. However, starting out, you only get thrown in for a few seconds, up to about a minute and it takes longer than that to make the cash back.

Well, check your PM instead. It's somewhat time sensitive.

So who all is a high enough rank to do a route 66 heist? I'm getting close and am curious what kind of door that opens.

I checked in with my capo about getting FOFC in, but he said our invites are nearly tied up.

He did ask me who was offing us, so maybe we'll get some help in one form or another.

BTW Vice, thanks for the offer, i'll setup you now in my testament and with this our blood pact with be sealed

Considering how much this thread has grown in a day (I've only read to this post so far today, and have 200 plus more posts to read), I'd say this sounds like a very good idea.

This is why I made AE my testament... he's probably the highest ranking of us, and has family connections... less likely to get whacked.

I'm getting a little tired of being broke and ineffective.

I'd be bored or weary with it if I wasn't doing other things while playing it. But, for me it is the perfect background game

FINALLY...

336 Crime attempts.

145 Car nicking attempts.

Despite countless jailings, failures, and shots in my feet -- I've finally become a Shoplifter! Now it's time to take a break, and hopefully I won't login to the skull of death.

EDIT: Finally got that Honour Point option thing. Looks like I had 80 left to begin with, so I sent one out to test how it works and what not.

Excellent! I'd be willing to try one of these things out. I'm in Chicago, and I'm a bit leery of traveling anywhere else. (Especially since my first character died as soon as he left Chicago and arrived in Vegas)

3 hours to wait between. I'd imagine that makes the organized crime at least 5 hours between.

I think it's 12 hours for an OC. I think I read that somewhere.

Oh, and about the witness statements, I think it depends on who you see get whacked. I've put two up for auction, and didn't go overboard with minimum bid, and didn't get so much as a nibble for either of them.

The guy I witnessed is a Soldier for a family. Do they know that I'm auctioning it off? Meaning I'd probably get whacked if they know it's me.

You can either buy blood at the bloodbank, travel somewhere, or wait until the end of the day.

Also -- SI did I just bust you out of jail?
