In other news...what benefit is there to upgrading the "stuff" businesses in Bangkok?  I already have 800 pirates and drug shipments....and I've barely started using them in jobs.  And it looks like each job uses ONE pirate or ONE drug shipment...other than "feeling complete" what benefit is there to upgrading these businesses?  Discuss.

I for one plan to cease upgrading those unless I end up with lots of extra Baht around and have no necessary items to buy to complete jobs.


I didn't upgrade the "stuff" businesses fully and I haven't been hampered by it.  You WILL need all the Baht you can get because with 4 levels for each episode you'll have to buy some $$$$ items for the jobs.  A few times I had to dump a full energy on a high income Baht job just to build up enough to purchase items.  Ran out of the satellite phones a few times too (episode 3, hijak a boat of electronics job) and had to go back and harvest.

BTW thanks to everyone that's pouring in the computer setups, photos, phones, etc. I'd like to say they'll last me a long time, but given that L3 Underboss has a few 1% jobs I don't think that's going to be the case.

Nope, they won't!  The only way I made it through those tiers so fast is because Lara went away without internet and told me I could loot stuff for myself if I babysat her MW account for a few weeks.  I think you literally do need 100 blackmail photos for one of the jobs in the third level of Boss....

Pray for another double mastery weekend!  Maybe mothers day?

You might want to start asking for concealable cameras, too.  They are needed to get one of the other consumables (can't remember which one) that you need for the Boss level.

No matter how many of each item people give you, you will probably still not have enough!  I think Boss's 2nd level is 2% mastery and the 3rd level is 1% mastery.  Pray for a double mastery weekend!!

Stupid Blackmail Photos ^^^^.

The only reason I got through Boss fast was I ended up getting to finish it while they were doing one of those "double percentage" weekends.

Yeah, I realize they are probably trying to keep the people who are already done with everything happy...but they are making it impossible for anyone else to ever get there!  If someone was just starting now they would really be in trouble...they'd never catch up!

Reward points questions...

Has anyone been losing them for any reason?

There has been one case, where I SWEAR I logged out with 10-11 points, to come back and find them all gone.  But I'm not 100% sure I had them.

The second case, I got a gold key, opened a gold chest, and recived 10 GF points, but I still had 11 total (which I SWEAR I had before opening it).  SO, I lost the original 10-11, and got them back in the chest, or never got the 10 from the chest added to my total.

Last question.  Sometimes the total is red, and sometimes the total is in green.  Could it be, if it's red, you have to use them NOW, and green will stay?  If that's the case, maybe that's why I'm losing them?

I upgraded ONCE, but realized that by the time you need them in ernest, you will have enough WITHOUT needing to upgrade.  You load up up front, and it will last you.

I have no clue.... but I have noticed the red and green thing. I know for sure I was at 11 points this morning. I will check later on and give you an update.

If it is true they are taking them it is really shady... I never really cared about the points in the first place.

I only use them for energy refills to level up.  Never seen them taken away.  Don't know why they are sometimes red, sometimes green.  I THINK it has to do with when you have enough to buy something it will be green.

I think that's the case as well...

But I could swear I had 11 sitting there and next day 10 were gone.  But I might have used them and forgot.

But I know I didn't get me 10 from the gold crate...  But I never had them in the first place, so I guess I didn't lose them.

I think it has to do with how many GF points you have. If it's a low level (I'm not sure the exact #) then you get the little red dot, like "hey, maybe you should buy some points since you're low" Once they build up above that level the green dot appears

it forces everyone to get one more to start i think. Mine was 1 higher that what i had luckily i had a bunch of GF points and just bought 10. For now you collect 5 maps which you need for the jobs, can't collect again for another 24 hours.

Looks like you need ONE more mafia to get to paris than you alreay have.  I have 543 and now need 544... 

I'm not sure if I have everyone from here yet.  So if anyone wants to help each other out and add.  Let me know (of course, if you don't have me already).

BTW,  I like how you can collect ALL you businesses with one click.  The old way was a pain.

Sounds like it is time to hit up the people on here that everyone doesn't have to get that slot!

I just clicked through my "friends" list to see if there was anyone I had added over the time that I hadn't hit up yet.  Found two, so we'll see if they respond.

I've already gotten a few maps.  And I'm on the last round of the Pakhan job tier in Moscow.  I'm almost to level 2 of it, so not long to go to finish it off.  Hooray!

I was able to find two people on my friends list who are not in my mafia and post mafia requests at times.  Hopefully, one of them agrees to be in my mafia.

Well I got into Paris, and there's nothing to do yet. You can collect more parisian maps for now (5 every 23 hours) but the real jobs don't open for another day and a half.

I've gotten a couple of maps dropped as loot.  As for the Pakhan job tier....you have a long way to go from there!  The last couple of levels take awhile!

Okay, so...HELP!  I can't accept any of my gift requests...I click the link (home page of facebook) and when I click on "Claim Rewards", etc. it doesn't open a link!  Ideas?
