Diplomat: Ok, here's the deal. We will give you half of our LSD every week, and in exchange, you won't set up a LSD lab since you will be getting LSD from us. If you want more, you must pay extra.
Luccis: That.... seems sort of reasonable, but we want to be self-sufficient.
Diplomat: Self-sufficiency will come with a punishment. I will promise you that.
Luccis: We don't like that tone of yours. Fuck off.

The deal was a failure. They will probably risk building up an LSD farm.

[b]Heists:[/b]
New heist available in Scottsdale!
Potential Heists within Fountain Hills:
Al Banchi's Italian 
- Possibly a front for Luccis, Gambinis, or Loranzios. Whoever they turn out to work for, you will lose respect from them.
- Minimum Crew: 1
- Cost to conduct: $3000
- Requirements: None
- Potential allies: none. you are on your own.
- Rewards: All the money in Al Banchi's Italian.
Euromarket
- A front for the Ukrainian Bratva. You will lose Ukrainian Bratva respect for working for them
- Minimum Crew: 1
- Cost to conduct: $7000
- Requirements: None
- Potential Allies: Russian Bratva forces in Fountain Hills and nearby North Scottsdale are currenting fighting Ukrainian Bratva and will assist you.
- Rewards: All the money in Euromarket, maybe Ukrainian Bratva weapons, items, money, drugs, or plans.
Talking Stick Casino
- A large casino/resort, also doubling as the HQ of the Gambini Mafia in Phoenix. You will become a sworn enemy of the Gambini Mafia for life.
- Minimum Crew: 4 (one getaway driver/pilot, one hacker/breacher to break into any safes or vaults, atleast two gunmen)
- Cost to conduct: $20000
- Requirements: Heavy weaponry and armor to deal with the best of the Gambini Mafia and the police (either from black market, the best gunshop you can find, or from raiding a police station or military base). An armored vehicle (either a van, truck, or helicopter [helicopter must be from a hospital, police station, fire station, airport, or news station]) for the getaway, because expect the entirety of the Gambini Mafia to descend upon you. Lockpick and/or C4 (get both from black market) to breach into any vaults, safes, or other storages where loot and production will be at.
- Potential Allies: Russian Bratva, Romanian Mafia, and Loranzio Mafia may assist you.
- Rewards: Completely eliminate the Gambini Mafia: all their weapons, drugs, plans, money. Any businesses they had can be brought up by the Crimson Mafia.
If the Talking Stick Casino heist fails, it will probably be the end of the Crimson Mafia. That heist is huge risk, huge reward.

Go to other areas of the map (such as Scottsdale, Tempe, or go on Highway 87 to the Mogollon Rim or Mesa) for more heist opportunities.

Checking out the drug labs:
15 meth has been made. (around $1000-3000 per meth) 2 UPGRADES AVAILABLE
24 LSD has been made. (around $2500 per LSD) UPGRADE AVAILABLE
There is still 21 meth remaining from the previous harvest.
Potential revenue (assuming that all drugs are sold at possible prices listed above): $25000-35000, $46,000-98,000 with leftover meth
Pile of Parts 2 can upgrade meth labs, weed labs, and cocaine labs. Whatever if it was a scam or not is yet to be determined.

The Lucci Mafia are setting up LSD farms, and the Crimson Mafia's quasi-monopoly on LSD will be lost once they are complete, diminishing LSD sales. They estimate that the farms will be complete within a week (8 updates remaining).

Fountain Hill locations:
State Highway 87 - either go to Mesa or to the Mogollon Rim: a rural forest and mountainous area with one decently-sized town called Payson and a few other villages.
Shea Blvd - go to South Scottsdale and Paradise Valley.
Bell Road - go to North Scottsdale, North Phoenix, and the West Valley.
Fort McDowell Road - go to Fort McDowell, and eventually Cave Creek.
Talking Stick Casino - Gambini Mafia HQ (Mission available. Send Angela and not risk wasting a character slot, create a new character for the mission and not risk getting the leader dead, or just send some NPC and risk not getting in the action and failure out of your control)
Mayo Hospital - Heal yourself and your gang members back up.
Holiday Inn Express - have a good night's stay, strike up a new offer with the pro-Russian Bratva CEO, or bang a prostitute (a male one which is rare).
Bill's Guns And Ammo - a crappy gunshop. You are better off going to the Scottsdale Gun Club or even the black market, but atleast stuff here is certainly the cheapest.
Black Market - buy and sell illegal shit here.
Euromarket - buy food and drinks from Eastern Europe
Al Banchi's Italian - mama mia, buy-a crap-a Italian food!

Current allies:
Jewish Mob (gained by diplomacy, they give CM intelligence on economic and political rivals in exchange for funds and equipment)
Gambini Mafia (gained by diplomacy)
Russian Mafia (allies from the start due to common nationality of leaders)

Wild Cards:
White Bears (hostile to Jewish Mob, an ally, AND Alesaba, an enemy)
Romanian Mafia (some of them are hostile to the Russians, while others are friendly with them. A civil war is likely within the gang.)

Potential enemies:
Lucci Mafia (planning to rival CM in LSD sales)

Current enemies:
Ukrainian Bratva (enemy of Russian Bratva, the CM's number 1 ally)
Alesaba (Adversary in the gang war)
