    Although playing with no income buildings ("the zero income strategy") is perfectly fine, I feel that players who pursue that avenue are not getting the complete experience of the game.

    I was only talking about the fact that he is a zero income player. thats all. I dont care that he attacked me, as far is that is concerned we are cool. If someone was verbally attacking you, how would you react. Its a natural defense to wanna state ur case and prove your point.
    All i wanted to say is that he is a leech on the game we play.

    and i accept all the comments back to me, but in the end i just remember its a game and I brought the peanut gallery into this myself, so i accept all the comments both good and bad.
    For any that say blah, blah, and Waaah waaah waaah, u do not know what empathy is or your naturally a bully.
    He is not a zero income player. He just doesn't get his income from his own buildings.

    First things first... I am not taking any ones side and I never said what Gazza did was right either. All I said was shoulda left it alone.

    My reaction to verbal attacks in this GAME, is "LOL" then I delete their comment. I wouldn't go and do it first though. This game is called Crime City, you gotta expect the leeches and unemployed. Or else we'd all be playing sims.

    You guys.. everyone on this thread suggesting not to have a money building upgraded.. are absolutely crazy. Any upgrade on a building, at the very worst, will return money on investment at 40 days. Usually lower. Sitting your money in the bank is a complete waste, or on weapons. I invest every penny into upgrading money buildings and now get 30k per hour at lvl 85. Never bought gold bars either. I cannot believe what I just read! If it gets robbed, who cares, you'll still collect the remains and collect the full payout next time. Anyone not doing this.. well, youve missed out on ALOT of income. I always have a building upgrading, to maximise my payouts. Can't believe this post.

    Quit worrying about other players.. He came into my life so I need to worry about him. I will explain my reasons again for you. He is a cheap player. Any player that has defense only is the same as some loser collecting unemployment and living off the system. He puts nothing in and only takes out. Its really not that difficult. Warren Buffet is much richer than i am, that dont mean he can come and buy my cars if I dont want to sell. Besides Gazza is 6 lvls higher than me.
    I think this is a poor analogy. Badd was just being blunt and to the point.

    I get camped over and over by Saif, my buildings aree good income, his buildings are poor but provide a lot of respect. The money he takes from my hood is pennies compared to what I earn from buildings, robbing, and energy so Im happy to keep the battles up because the respect im getting is just making me stronger.

    Raising defence high enough to fend off Robbers is the best thing to do, but it is not easy. You masses of it, and generally isn't worth doing unlewss your going to invest in Agencies. Anything else takes up to much room for the defence given.

    The only cheating in this game is hacking. The rest is just styles of play.

    Non-Tycoon ROI on a level 10 Casino upgrade is nearly 1,000 days. 377 out of 650 new constructions and upgrades have ROIs exceeding 40 days (includes cash equivalent figures for gold buildings).

    If you're truly pursuing the ROI track you should have so much money left over that it becomes difficult to use, especially that late into the game.

    Diffrent styles for diffrent players gratz on your play style helps fuel my income plus you will be in my target range in the next few days so I'll make sure to rob you blind if I see you.

    You invested money and make 30k per hour? Big deal I would avarage a lot higher than that just robbing people while investing nothing and can use my upgrade times/money for defence building so at L200 if i want a L10 nightclub or 2 won't need to worry about it getting robbed and can use it for bait to rob others.

    Yeah, no offense, but that doesn't exactly make you Yoda or anything. I was at 30k/hr before level 85. In comparison to others around our level though, you're definitely doing well, it's just a matter of choice though. I've taken well more than $30k off people hundreds of times. Some people don't want the hassle of collecting, so they just fight and buy weapons and fight some more. If it works, hey, go for it.

    I don't know Warren Buffet personally, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess if he wanted your car, he'd quickly be able to find a way to get it.

    Wow what's all the fuss about?

    Firstly - Steamboatwilly - I was not aware that I had robbed you personally since I rob the list, not the player!! You chose to start the slanging match and I beat you in that as well. It is my perogative to play the game in my own way. Apparently I hit you 3 times in 3 days - lmao - I sold my buildings because I was being hit 3 times an hour by a gold player called Ah Beng who bullied and beat me senseless!! (I dont know what happened to him BTW)

    Secondly - Although I have no issues if people are down on their luck and on benefits, I'm not. In fact I'm quite the opposite! I could easily afford throwing a few K at the game to be king of the castle but that would ruin the experience! I even choose not to buy gold weapons as I would feel a bit like a bully since I attack very regularly. I have no issues with those who chose this path and some are great guys, like Eisa. Also Max Power came to my defense and he sounds like a damn good player and Ive seen Anubis in the list and bounced off him a few times!! lol

    Thirdly - I told you willy, that I would build once Ah Beng was out of my lists - and I have so feel free to rob it!! IT'S A GAME - someone took over $200K off me 2 days ago in one hit and my message to him (and I quote) - "good take dude!! lol". It made me smile, because, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, IT'S A GAME!!!!!! lol

    Now can I just add a GREAT BIG THANKS to those who replied positively or at least with understanding to my stategy!!
    Big thanks to badd, Max Power, Anubis, procsyzarc and Cooz

    P.S. steamboatwilly - you could have always apologised for the insults you threw at me and I would have apologised for the retaliation and you could have added me!! Simples!

    That's my say and I'm new to the forum so HI EVERYONE
