i simply had a stroke of terribly bad luck where i failed like 8 forgeries in a row. it was elite

True. Performing the same same crime over and over throughout the day will be the same. As long as you are capable of doing it. Many people do it.

It's all I do... I only do the 27AP ponzi scheme. I've had as bad as 50% days and as good as 100% days.

Randomlands indeed. No sense in trying to rationalize the irrational.

You are saying you are doing bad based off 150 or so crimes?


I stick to one of the top paying crimes for my level and intel. Easy money.

Those % are typical. I was just saying I play around a little bit. I get high and pretend like this is a game And everything I do is based on a weed induced story I follow along.

That's what I used to do; for months, all I did was Ponzi Schemes. However, I had a discussion with Johnny (I think that it was him, at least), and I realized that that's not the best idea.

That's an average of $862.23 per crime and 8.20 minutes/attempt. Further, I gain $37.49/AP spent.

Compare this to Ponzi Schemes:

July 2010
Ponzi Scheme 832 50 987 84.3 % $997,086 $1,010.22 5,480 12,180

That's an average of $1004.29 per crime and 10.01 minutes/attempt. Further, I gain $37.19/AP spent.

Now, the difference may not seem noticeable at a single AP level, but, considering that I spent 28,334 AP on crimes last month, the difference becomes much more significant:

Ponzi Scheme:
$1,053,911.69 cash and 10505 minutes
Insurance Fraud:
$1,062,189.59 cash and 10105 minutes.

So, for no additional effort, I gain 10k and lose 400 jail minutes. Not an earthshattering amount, but still, nice to get for free.
