I got lazy. I almost updated in September, and at the end of September, but I didn't.

One thing I noticed is that the Networth medals would sit in the bottom upcoming medal bar at 100% until the day total was realized. What makes me sad is not knowing the next medal to be obtained and knowing that I will likely have to maintain it for 50+ days before the award is realized.
I'm almost finished with all the drug use merits. I will at some point need that most random Cannabis OD and I still have 24 PCP left to take. I'm not sure if I'm gonna use them while chaining, use them as a small Happy refill, use them to combine with point refill for once I'm training Defense, I don't know.
There was also a Dogtag competition that I didn't really take part in. I just trained instead. I could never keep a tag on hand. Luckily at the very end of the event my faction's leader returned to me my tag, which was valuable enough for me to earn 8 tokens. I can spend them on 2 merits right now if I want. I can also buy 2 more merits with points (500 points are worth about $34m right now).
I also spent a lot of merits on +Crime Success. I am now 10/10 to help with Political Assassination. I've had 1 success so far and that's a paycheck I'd love to hold onto. I'm cranking out busts and arsons.
-------------------
I spent $1B in stocks on a 10* Law Firm that I cannot keep filled. Makes me sad. It caused my Networth to drop by about 1,400 places. Now I'm only worth $3.5B which is a long way off from making a $14B purchase.

Bio: Intravenous Therapy, Completes Tuesday October 20, 8:30pm.
This will be great. This will also start to cost me money. I will have to buy my own blood bags, but now I can always keep medical cooldown maxed. I'll be spending easily 1m daily on medical items to go after the 25,000 med items used. There are also 4 Honor Bars related to blood bags.
Bus: Business Ethics, Completes Sunday November 1, 10:45pm.
Another 2% productivity. I figure if I'm going to own this Law Firm for like forever while working on Bust merits... This will have a lot of time to pay for itself.
Bus: E-Commerce, Completes Saturday November 14, 1am. (Friday Night)
The last business class and +2% productivity. Only the Bachelor remains. With Adept and merits maxed, along with the bonus from Education starter job, 5 weeks for the class will only take me 2.88 weeks. That's still time I could be doing other classes for other perks or goals rather than just grab a merit.
Law: Media Law, Completes Thursday November 26, 3:30am.
This will boost advertising in company by some amount. Not sure how significant, but part of the remaining Law classes for Law Bachelor.
Law Classes remaining at this moment:
Working Stats Only: 4 classes, 8 weeks, after specials adjusts to 4.6 weeks
Perks: 3 classes, 9 weeks, adjusts to 5.2 weeks
Bachelor: 6 weeks, adjusts to 3.5 weeks.
Total Law weeks: 13.3 weeks after November 14 is an entire season away. Good grief things take long in this game.
It's all so interesting. After a prolonged period of time as a director and with a lot of long term plans involving the role of director, working stat growth has become meaningless to me. I know it's something I could work on but my stats just won't matter. All the Intelligence gained from Law courses or Math or Business or Computer Science just don't benefit me. There's so many working stat classes I could have taken in the past. Oh well!
----------------------------
My 10* Law Firm is awesome. Without filling it I profit 1m daily. That means it'll pay for itself in 3 years ha-ha-ha. But I'm also gonna consider any money from Political Assassination payouts to be part of this company's income, as the +20% to Organized Crime perk is specifically for that.
I can also sell spies for money, so that turns into additional income from company.
I'll probably be busting my butt off even past the spring. By the time I have the Bachelor...
Imagine I do 50 busts weekly. It will take about 20 weeks until Law Bachelor is complete for 50% busting and bailing. I will definitely be done with the bail merit by then. 50 busts over 20 weeks is only 1k more busts. Then I will have about 7k left to do to finish that set of merits.
I'll also have to stop level holding to expand the pool of people I actually can bust. That's just crazy huge when I look at it.
On the topic of level. I'm still holding at 50. I did however find a level 83 and a level 86 I can consistently beat and leave on the street. I don't have any idea how many leave on the streets will translate into how many levels. I'm investing a significant amount of energy into gaining level exp. It's an eventual goal to get to level 100. I don't know how many times I will have to leave someone 30+ levels above me on the street to gain any levels. I have been level 50 a very long time and I did earn several low level defends and won several attacks on people 40-50 when I was doing the killstreak merits. I've made a lot of mugs, a lot of crime clicks, and have participated in a fair amount of organized crimes. I can think of all these sources of exp but have no idea how much it translates into.
I would love to hit a slots jackpot. That would cover some big purchases I have coming up.
I need to buy FHG BB, 700m. Maybe my own PI. 900-1600m. MCS BB for 1.3B? I want to actually have an investment stock amount. No guarantee with stocks, but sometimes I wish, oh I wish I could consistently make large ass profits. You know? Invest 2B. Get 10% in a couple days. Invest 2.2B. etc.
Too much rambling.
