NEWS THIS ROUND

• Random events
  Has Crimcity ever seemed like a place only filled with criminals and scumbags out to get you? Not anymore. From now on, every now and then, one of Crimcity's inhabitants will stop you to ask you a question, if you answer it correctly you will be rewarded, but if you come up with the wrong answer you might get a nasty surprise.
  
  Messages
  Every Monday the system seemed to suffer from amnesia and all the messages sent the previous week were lost. We've now made the system practise its memory and now it will be able to always remember messages up to one week old.
  
  Trusted accounts
  A long awaited feature has at last been implemented, the trusted accounts. You can now give your trust to up to three other accounts, enabling them to log on to your account without giving them your password. A trusted account can do everything you can do on when playing except using credits and changing profile settings.
  
  Change in stats changes in assaults
  To add some realism to the game, and also to make the life of a newbie a little easier, a hit from the powerful criminal on a much smaller guy will now give less stats, the smaller guy will also lose less stats. If a small guy tries to hit someone a lot stronger he will lose as much as he always has though, even though the stronger guy will just gain as much as he would if he had attacked.
  
  Full implementation of the new weapons system
  Want to be an expert at handling rifles? The weapons system is now fully implemented with proficiency on weapon types and recommended skill to give that extra edge to your effectiveness when using weapons. The arms dealer has received an update giving you the ability to always see how you will perform with the different weapons.
  
  Mass message from leader and co-leader
  Gang Leaders has always been a bit stupid right? They finally discovered that you don't have to send a message to every individual member by member. They now learned how to send a message to the whole gang at once. They also taught their co-leader how to do this.
  
  Whorehouses as business
  "Does whorehouses produce whores?"
  "No."
  "Then why do I buy them where I buy buildings?"
  "Good question."
  Well not anymore, whorehouses are now regarded just as much a business as a nightclub.
  
  Effects of addiction
  Partying a lot lately? Maybe it's time for a detox? If your addiction raises to too high levels you might get confused and end up in the wrong places, or worse, be sent to the emergency.
  
  Plus packages
  Want that little extra boost to give you an edge over your competitors? Check our new extras at the arms dealer, the hooker page and the building page. The arms dealer offers a new extra powerful ammunition; at the hooker page you can buy some super pills for your hooker; for your factories you can rent some cheap labour. We've also improved the starting packages, giving you more for your credits.
  
  Police resources
  The police are battling limited resources on one end and a rise in high profiled crimes on the other. They believe they have to attack the problem when it starts and promote rehabilitation over prison. The consequences of this is that the limit for community service is raised to 100 respect and the assault protection is raised to 200 respect. As a result of this police resources have been moved from gang related crimes lowering the chance of being caught when gangs assault each other. Police officials has been heard saying: "Let the gangs have their own private wars and the problem will solve it self."
  
  Prominent beta testers
  The players who have made the most contributions, finding bugs and giving feedback, on the beta game will be extra rewarded when the new round starts. Keep an eye on the Crimcity times for a presentation of these players. Maybe you will be amongst them?
  
  Change in stats changes in robberies
  The stat changes with robberies will now depend on total attacking power of the robber, rather than just the current stats of the robber. Players will now gain the most skills if they use just enough power to be successful in the robbery.
  
  Dead player's clubs
  A business owner is not always there to check his club, he usually has a manager and staff to do that for him. To simulate this you can now enter clubs belonging to players recovering at the emergency.
  
  Miscellaneous
  Increased maintenance for buildings
  The game now starts on day 1 as opposed to day 0.
  Hookers are now not included in your respect.
