A nice amount of GAers have already joined in. For those not in the know, it's a prohibition era web-based game. Really, really fun. There's not a GA gang yet, as none of us have gotten high enough rank to make a gang (yet). JOIN.

 

[Miguel]

I'm probably 3rd on the list of how far anyone is.

Tre #1
WasabiKing #2

everyone else is just reaching thug or around scum/pee-wee

 

[Wario64]

Just signed up. Hopefully I don't get too addicted

 

[RevenantKioku]

Sweet christ, it keeps redoing the damn "This is your first login!" shit..

 

[Chesapeake Silt]

You successfully pickpocketed someone and received a total of $3.

OWNED.

 

[effzee]

I just joined, seems very confusing but I guess I'll get the hang of it.

 

[MrPing1000]

*looks at growing car collection* yay!

 

[Wario64]

I just joined, seems very confusing but I guess I'll get the hang of it.

Despite the enormous amount of text in the FAQ, the game is pretty straight forward

 

[RevenantKioku]

Woo! Gamble gamble gamble!

Goddamnit I'm in jail every 2 minutes, hehehe.

 

[Joe]

ok i just signed up.

 

[Matlock]

You successfully robbed the bank and received a total of $323.

 

[Wario64]

Son of a bitch, I lost like $700 playing blackjack. This game is evil

 

[RevenantKioku]

Fuck you 22 red!

 

[Dagless M.D.]

You had to tell me about this at 4am didn't you (especially after i've been awake for the last 30 hours)

 

[Miguel]

I've blown about 20K now in blackjack...this isn't good.

 

[sefskillz]

Sweet christ, it keeps redoing the damn "This is your first login!" shit..

do you have cookies turned off?

 

[RevenantKioku]

do you have cookies turned off?

Nope. I don't know what was going on. but it stopped after i closed the browser, loaded it up again.
I hate these types of games, too addicting. And sometimes the page is being really stupid in Safari, but Firefox isn't displaying it right at all (but the frames aren't opening in new windows randomly)

Er I mean to say, sometimes Safari is poping the frames up in new windows for no good reason. Isn't doing it now though...

 

[fart]

this game sucks but i can't stop playing it

 

[Jason]

Bah. Much like real life I pissed away all my money. $40K down the drain playing blackjack.

 

[crawlingpeter]

is this related to the http://www.barafranca.com/ game from a while ago? i was one of the first people to sign up for that way back when.

this looks promising, but im still waiting for my activation email.

 

[slayn]

seems interesting...

already won like 500 bucks on blackjack. Money seems hard to comeby in the beginning though. I tried buying beer, flew to another city, say that the price was 4 bucks different which doesn't justify the flight. Guess I'll stick to blackjack for now.

 

[Wario64]

You need to come to #ga and discuss with others about prices before venturing off

What's the best crime option to choose when first doing GTA? picking keys?

 

[slayn]

but then I gotta load up irc just for this silly game -_-

*sigh* where is #ga located?

 

[Teknopathetic]

Wario: they're all roughly equal.

 

[slayn]

is it just me or does it seem like it takes a lot more than two minutes before I can do my next crime?

 

[Teknopathetic]

Seems pretty close to me. I keep my eyes on the clock.

 

[slayn]

woo! broke! go blackjack.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

I've already doubled my money with BJ... be sure and use strategy... there is more to BJ than just luck...

CHARTS
in both charts, the top labels represent what the dealer is showing, and the labels running down the side represent what you're holding.

H Stands for HIT. S Stands for uh. STAND... D Stands for Double Down (Real life bj, In this situation just HIT)

all that from richelieu, some guy who wrote a guide...

EDIT: to make it clear, 'soft hands' are when you have an ace... if you want to read the whole guide, go to http://www.bootleggers.us/viewprofile.php?viewuser=CooperSY

btw, that's not my account... heh

 

[slayn]

I actually go pretty close to that chart and did that thing of doubling your bet every time you lose. Sometimes you just lose though.

I didn't really know what to do with Aces though so thanks for the charts =)

 

[slayn]

do I need a gun or somethign before robbing becomes easier?

I've sucessfully robbed a general store a couple times now and I've still never gotten over 10%

 

[Teknopathetic]

no, robbing only becomes more successful the more you try it.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

wow, i've quadrupled my cash with blackjack...

 

[Sp3eD]

I'm totally out of cash I can't get more

 

[Sp3eD]

nm, I pickpocketed somebody for $1. I am back in busness! :-/

 

[slayn]

is it even worth it to attempt to arm wrestle? ever?

I'm approaching level 2 and then I look over at the matches and see people with like 6000 wins -_-

 

[slayn]

in roullete, does 0 count as even? I would guess not, but just wondering if in this particular version that they have if betting on evens would be better than betting on red.

edit: no it does not.

 

[Brofist]

Nice...won $3333 on slots on one pull

 

[Joe]

feel free to send money to "arod"

 

[etiolate]

We should post Alcohol prices from states we're in to find the high/low.

Colorado
Beer $832
Rum $413
Whisky $1997
Vodka $127
Wine $1610

 

[Wario64]

California: 336/295/1242/70/1924


requesting Michigan prices

 

[Matlock]

Beer is an astoundingly low ~$90 in NY, and ~$850 in Penn. With travel expenses for a round-trip between those being ~$200, you're looking at making a tidy profit on even ONE unit, let alone 5 (when you start).

 

[Teknopathetic]

Michigan:

Beer $236
Rum $145
Whisky $1917
Vodka $105
Wine $1919

 

[Joe]

new york: 115/298/1116/464/2528

i can only hold 5 so its not really worth it for me to sell beer in colorado.

 

[WasabiKing]

Moved to the proper forum...

 

[Matlock]

NY: 86//274/1178/466/2557
CO: 832/413/1997/127/1610
MI: 236/145/1917/105/1919
CA: 336/295/1242/70/1924

NY>PA beer trade is still the hottest out there (for cost of travel, natch).

Highs:

Beer: CO/PA
Rum: CO
Whiskey: CO
Vodka: NY
Wine: NY


Lows:

Beer: NY
Rum: MI
Whiskey: NY
Vodka: CA
Wine: CO


Mind you, it all fluctuates wildly.

i finally got my first car. is there any reason to keep it? or should i just sell it off?

You better ship it out of the state quickly, or else the car will go back to its owner

 

[WasabiKing]

It's real easy to do, too. Just make sure you have enough money to ship the car out. Select the state, click on the ID number, then ship it out.

 

[Joe]

its almost in illinois

 

[WasabiKing]

its almost in illinois

I'd ship a few cars over there before going to illinois, if you haven't already. Once you ship the cars, they're safe unless you ship it back to its origin.
