Always wondered considering they have almost 7k Capos and 90% of them are literal 1x1 pixel capos randomly spread out through towns.

It’s an honest question, I remember back in 2013 on my old account #rip, I place one turf in my hometown and homie sent me a FAT message welcoming me to the “Greater Houston Area” and went on about safe zones n shit. Like, how tf they even know I existed lol.

I’m certain she’s not a bot. Bots make mistakes.

You could always ask Attrition if she’s real. He might have some insight.

Remember when Smoke hopped from Mississippi to Houston to cap her? He left up like a 500 mile hop trail.

Welcome to Houston! Attrition is the capo here. Houston has a safe zone consisting of the SW corner ON & INSIDE the 610 loop. The border is clearly marked with HSZ turfs. The SZ rules are: 1) No attacking/capping (capping means capturing) turf except on gas day or in war (sanctioned by attrition) & 2) don't cover the little active guys. Please use good judgement capping outside of the SZ; never cap an inactive player's last turf. Also, please do not cap anyone completely out of an area. (An area is defined as somewhere that would take a player 15+ hops to get back there.) You can pm attrition or Mystery with questions, issues, or suggestions, Houston-related or not.

PSA: I want to clarify why we don't cap inactive people (with very little turf) even outside the safe zone, since several people do not seem to understand this. First you must understand, the more different people in an area, the more you make per turf (up to 52.3k per turf without protection). So you want lots of different people all over. Inactive people will not plant more turf. So by capping their turf you hurt everyone's income. Work on planting fewer turf strategically so they earn the most money, rather than having lots of turf that don't earn well. This also helps keep you under your limit so that you aren't stuck in 1 area. Always check if a player is inactive before capping. If you don't know how, please pm me. Check the player's comments though; I have been trying to leave a comment that a player is inactive on their comments. Thanks.

Being over your turf limit:
Nothing will kill your motivation more in this game than not being able to lay new turf. You will inevitably go out of town and you WILL want to lay new turf. To get back below your limit: 1) Buy don points. For $15/month you can increase your turf limit by 1 each day. If you can't afford that, do whatever you can afford, and/or 2) Destroy some of your own turfs, especially if they are all clumped together. Clumping makes you a target for larger players. They know capping a few won't affect the overall income of the area. Destroying your turfs and relocating them to different areas allows you to expand your reach & capture or defend against larger or smaller players. The benefit of being able to drop turfs far outweighs any gains from having extra turfs. Your goal should be to have some turf in the safe zone, in order to make good money & mob up. Then drive or hop out of the safe zone & lay turf in new areas to get capos, create new high income areas, cap, fight wars

All circa late 2010, early 2011

At the time when we were all budding little mobsters, looking for a way to earn income, and still thinking attack and defense meant something, having a turf mom to watch out for us was a good thing.

Then Bugsy and his… 🔥 the HSZ

Lots of drama… she said f-it

Now she collects obscure 1pin capos for fun.

She was one of the forum mods (moderators) back in the day, appointed by Nick to help keep things in check as it was growing…. Then Nick said f-it too. 🤪
