Business Education

If anyone that blunders their way onto here plays the flawed masterpiece that is druglord 2.2 then you should sympathise with the end day drugs on hand that I could not shift, shipping really boned me in the end run that time. further, i had 4 more shipments that delayed, which contained my coke and heroin amongst some other random stuff

anyway, it seems from a googling that there are many players of this game and many of those have gotten some extreemly high scores. even without cheating! But no one is sharing any strategy. its a great waste of 20 minutes and deserves a little internet community spirit

so If anyone has a solid strategy, please feel free to outline it in the comments.

current strategy for me is is to get a day one rumour of something being scarce tomorrow, either in austin or somewhere else. then its borrow all the money from all the loansharks, exploit day one deal and have between 100-200k by day two.

then its a bit of financial scuffling between paris and either beijing or moscow until druglord status.

this is where shipping becomes the greatest tool you have. Once you are financially stable, circa 100 mil, you should stop using the vault altogether and begin shipping everything you have or want between your chosen cities. this avoids the painful situation of having 50k units of heroin in the vault and seeing heroin peak at $150'000, knowing you cant even get half the product out of the vault.

The key really is in the shipping between cities. the 50 day time limit makes sitting around waiting for a good deal a poor strategy.

Urban Safari



http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cougar for those not in the know


so myself and the other two sexiest young men in the great continent of Ireland went for a polite drink and a discussion of fine cinema and literature when we unexpectedly found ourselves stalked by natures third least graceful predator, the cougar.

attacking without warning by sitting down on a chair next to me and going straight for steves thigh this "majestic beast" proceeded to inform us how sexy we were and demanding a round of hand kisses. With characteristic cat like acceleration the cat monikered 42 year old tries to snatch an attempted kiss from this intrepid blogger.

having had my lips brushed, this cunning predator pulled me into the nape of her neck. The second most dangerous position to find yourself in. Remembering my training with all the head leveling i can manage, I make the warning cry of the cougars only natural predator (no not the menapause) teh scary internet face: repeating OMNOMNOMNOM while oscillating my head until being released.

having scarely escaped with our senses of humour intact it becomes time to discuss the fact that this random encounter lady has drank half of steves pint. comedy gold of course.

this however segues us to a serious matter;

seeing as how the healthy immune system of an adult homo sapiens may have by now won its battle with cooties.. I wish to here and now coin the term cougies. which steve has because he finished his pint.

old cougie steve we should call him.
