Thanks, I'll check it out. I already have a Phoenix. I decided that instead of having a racing garage full of custom cars for each class I was just going to jam it full of motorcycles and old muscle cars.

BSH for 4 days! Fuckity fuckballs, rear end.

The carbomb I rigged up in front of the LSC managed to clip the victim's big stupid truck, and I was either too slow on the shutdown or they fixed that. Maybe next time he'll know not to park right next to totally-not-suspicious vehicles.

I don't know I really won't ever get sick of the mission where you drive up to group of military trained sharp shooting gang bangers, steal/kill/blow up the green/red dot on your radar, then drive back to the yellow dot.

Are there more fun or bizarre missions that people just don't play because they don't pay as much? Where are the missions where you try to run over the most pedestrians, or blow up the most ice cream trucks or something.

The Los Santos Connection is probably the most interesting and longest mission but its also fairly difficult and pays little compared to other missions available.

They are also huge pubbie magnets, because every time I drive it around town, it gets attacked.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Tried to get a Buzzard into my garage and a pubbie shot me out of it. While I was respawning, he jacked it and fled to a convenience store. I tracked him down and trapped him inside with a bunch of tear gas grenades until he died, then I took back what was mine. Then while I was trying to glitch it into the garage someone came out of their garage and got stuck under it. When I got out of the apartment, I found only exploded wrecks.

Someone said Patch Incoming.. I hope this is true because I really am a little bored of this game and want things to work a little better. Then again I need more time to actually chill with Goons and not only play for a bit- basically gently caress school and Chinese Historians.

Not China, which I love. Not Chinese history, which I love. Not Chinese writing, which I love. Instead gently caress Chinese Historians and the issues they present due to cultural values.

Anyone remember Sliders?

Glitching money at the main LSC is like sliding sometimes. You jump from world to world and while there are some differences things are generally the same. Then one time you land in the world where there are people in different crews camping LSC with tanks and everything has gone to poo poo.

Something Awful is like sliding from thread to thread until someone else remembers the show Sliders and I wonder if I have finally slid back home to a person who talks about the show that is not my Dad... but then I wonder... what if you are my Dad? Then I slide again and the last five minutes show that I did find another poster and TWO MORE SEASONS!

Does this mean being put into Bad Sport land is like when Rembrandt was caught by the runaway portal in the pilot? :pseudo:

Bad Sport Land is like the later seasons when the plot became less Twilight Zone and more about Kromaggs and you have to fight to find episodes worth caring about and the rare cool characters. You find people who are there because they blew up cars and rove around like Mad Max killing people who rage or people who are there because they can't speak without saying friend of the family every other word.

Bad Sport Land is a constant fight to find your fellow man and fight against the Worse Sports. I'll quote some Malcolm X because he said some nice things about serious issues that I can edit to apply to video game poverty and discrimination:

"You get freedom from Bad Sport Hell by letting your enemy know that you'll do anything to get your freedom from Bad Sport Hell; then you'll get it. It's the only way you'll get it, by Commending a Goon and having them Commend you back."

"The question tonight, as I understand it, is “The Goon Revolt, and Where Do We Go From Here?” or What Next?” In my little humble way of understanding it, it points toward either the chill man or the go outside."

"Goons are fed up with the dillydallying, pussyfooting, compromising approach that we've been using toward getting our loving game working. We want freedom from Bad Sport Hell now, but we’re not going to get it saying “We Shall Wait & Enjoy Real Life.” We’ve got to rage post, neck beard, and commend each other until we have overcome."

"People don't realize how a man's whole game can be changed by one patch."

Say, do you know how to do the walk?
I recently pretty much did Mixed Up with Coke single handed, because the team of pubbies I was with for some reason went into the front door of the construction site and were all slaughtered. It was kind of funny that I had practiced so much that I knew exactly what to do.

^^^ The nice thing about MUWC is that it has no time limit, the trucks eventually stop at certain points so you can take all the time you want as long as you don't DIE. :)



Having a personal, insured riot van is HILARIOUS for squatting on an LSC when pubbies are trying to sell glitch. Park directly in from of the door and then climb up above it onto the roof. They will show up and scratch their heads, toss a sticky and then try ramming it, and you can kill them two or three times.

THEN you go down and set stickies out around the area, and get into the van. The pubbies wills till see your dot on the same spot on top of the garage, but they'll think you're on the roof. When they come back down wondering and trying to ram the riot van out of the way, blow them up. Helps if you park nose-in so they can't see your profile through the windshield.

Nothing, it's a glitch. Keep playing or log in later and it'll have reverted. Mine spontaneously added 24h to my score of 3 days and change, then it vanished after a couple hours.

I have a suspicion that after a certain point (like 16/32 day BSH penalties) people will start saying "gently caress it" and convince all their friends'crew to just go full-on BS.


It really is liberating, you can still cost people money etc, and if you use Quick Join for jobs it's easy to find one that won't reject you for being a bad sport.

It took me until now to get to bsh, blowing up at least a few cars per session, playing almost every day, so by the time I get a 32 day ban I don't know what my interest level in this game is going to be (even though this game is awesome and I hate seeing posts that say poo poo like that). I'll at least play until heists, though.

What happened to me was a level 700 guy placed a $200000 bounty on someone and bam, I had 114 million. A few minutes later, the same thing happened again and I got 54 additional millions. I now have a suppressor on my pistol, something I considered a bit too pricey just yesterday.

This made me laugh way more than it should have.

On a side note, I love the idea of using muggers. However it's flawed because of a respawn system that allows you to basically spawn five feet away from where you die; allowing you to kill the mugger to get your money back. To be truly effective you'd have to sic the mugger on someone while you're relatively close to them so you can then snake the money from the mugger right after.
