What happens when someone comes to you for information and you don't have any information on that particular group? And when you do start leaking information over companies etc... players instinctively won't trust you because you're constantly sharing information that players want to be kept private. You may be better off advertising yourself as a Private Investigator rather than a provider of information. That way information you track down can be presented, if you can't track any information down, you're still paid for the time invested into it. You'll just need to expand your network early on to get "informants" or sources of information. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be sure to dress like this - Thanks for the idea! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can imagine MAYBE if all their wealth, real estate, and cars were at steak, maybe, but even then who's not willing to serve 45 minutes in jail? I guess maybe the private servers might add life sentences, basically ending any chance your character can do anything unless they flip. If there was actual purpose to giving info away to the FBI, that would be really intriguing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, the list goes on... being a Private Investigator simply means you establish a network yourself to speak with people. People don't have to want to speak with the police, but speaking with a P.I. could mean they benefit financially, or the P.I. buries some of their evidence, or gives them something valuable in return. It was simply an observation on the "Information shop" business that was mentioned. If you're a publicly known shop for double dealing, no one will trust you. If you're a "certified" P.I. and have your own network, you work on a contract basis and underline that you can't work for the people you're investigating etc... You can easily obtain yourself a good reputation and be paid well for services rendered, which ultimately could filter down to your informants. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know this also sounds a bit far-fetched but wiretaps would be cool to see too. Just don't know how an agency would get away with planting recorders in known criminal hideouts without people metagaming or checking the map. We'll see how it goes, but it's got a lot of potential.

Posted July 31, 2018 Most likely, if it's possible, medical staff in a hospital within the game. If that's not possible, probably run a store and grow it into a local empire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 10, 2018 you all have a very clear mind in what you what to do. I myself want a crimefree life designing something, maybe jewls if i can even do that..... i'm completely new here so just reading up on stuff. I dont even know how to get to claim my pladge (did i spell that right... or not) nevermind we will see what i chose when the game really comes out, a mob boss could be fun to maybe... but that is the crime side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) I'll keep it clean mostly, I'd probably punch people roleplaying as communists though, because those people are disgusting anyway. Probably pizza delivery or something. In games like IMVU I always created clothes and designed stuff. I hope I can still do that here for free. If I have to pay 5 dollars to upload a logo every single time, I probably won't do it, because that's just a cash grab which I won't do, unless I can earn irl money from it, like with IMVU Edited August 13, 2018 by jjustgreg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
