Giving up the first year means like when you're 0 years old and you tap on surrender you end your life and get an achievement or ribbon. Think its wasteful not sure. Yes the heirloom bug is fixed but I thought you could get one every 6 hours. I think they changed it to 24 hours so like one a day. And when I was in turkey I did exactly the same thing. I burglared so much houses and it took forever for me to get caught. I wish if there was a way for that to be accessible. Prison gang I joined one the bitizen mafia but since the mini games weren't accessible I couldn't find anything to do with them because if you need to start a riot I think they would come in handy for that. When I saw the option to cry I laughed out so hard my throat hurt. Lol. Note that when in the prison yard and there's an option to have your way with someone that means sex so do at your own risk. I got clamidia from that. I thought that meant to fight them but sometimes when you ask the guards to take you to the infirmry they don't and when you age up and ask then you get treated for the disease. It would be cool to have friends in the game so if you go to prison you could have your best friend visit and smuggle some drugs or anything illegal. Or even out of prison you oculd hang out with them and do different things.

O ok i’ve given up so many times on the first year lol. And I think the heirlooms are random. Because when I got my first heirloom which was that film reel, it said next available heirloom in one hour and 36 minutes. I’m going to pay attention next time I get an heirloom. I’m still in prison lol so I’m not getting any heirlooms. And I’ve been trying to join the bitizen mafia, but they won’t let me. So I am a proud member of the beefcake bandits lol. How do you do someone, I have been looking for a way to do another prisoner lol. Do you have to be gay or can you be straight? And what does it mean when it says size when you tap on the prisoners name? And when you join a gang what does notoriety mean?

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Never mind, I got an heirloom while in prison. I got a 1984 family Reunion VHS worth one dollar. This one said, next available heirloom and 16 hours and 39 minutes. So it’s around midnight, if I did my math right lol. So maybe it is once every 24 hours or so.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

If you want to do someone in prison it don't matter if you're gay or straight. Tap on have your way with them. If you go in to assets you will see the heirlooms you have and you could scrap it probably means get rid of and you could sell it. I tried to sell my graduation cap but no one bought it. It was worth $3 anyways. I'm still in prison and my years keep extending for bad behavior. Lol. I assaulted someone in public and they died I bribed the guards for protection for 3 years had to pay $8000 but not seeing how that is effective because when I fight with someone they always fight back. Size means how big or small the person is. Notarioty is when you commit the crimes and get away with it and gain respect so that means like you're popular.

By Sabrina on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Lol yes, I would probably kill you if you messed with me and we could interact. lol. I have been sentenced to a very long time in prison. I use the infermery when I need to. My mother and father died. Actually I never had a father. My mom died when I was three.
I was left with a sister. I think we had a bad relationship because she called me a really faul word and I insulted her back and then she asaulted me and I fought back and accidentally killed her. My boyfriend did not answer to my letters and there were no visitors. Actually it took three years before he broke up with me. If I could I would have asaulted him. lol. But I was already in jail.
I didn’t know you could do that with the earlooms.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I don’t have the sex option or the, have your way with them, option for any of the prisoners. Does it have to be certain prisoners? Or do you think it’s only in certain countries? I’m still in Turkey, so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. And for the heirlooms, when it says scrap, it means to get rid of it, or you can sell it. And when I click on bribe guards, I have the option to pay $3000, I didn’t do it though, I don’t see no point and I currently have 9000 in my account. Not going to waste money if they ain’t going to protect me lol.
And only if you can choose what you want in your letter. For example, ask for money, insult, complement, etc. I would ask my parents for money, even though we’re broke lol. And I will keep insulting my brother from prison. It would also be cool if we could send threats, like in a letter. I would do that to my brother as well lol. Or is there a way we can send threats? Let me know if there is.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I'm wondering for all the heirlooms that you collect if you start a new game if it will still be there when you go to assets and try to sell it. I might be close to be testing that out soon because I might die any time from injuries. Lol. At least I murdered one inmate want to see how much I could kill. Have to find the weakest person with low respect.

By Sabrina on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

My person, Justina Chatman, died at the age of 104. I am going to see how the airlooms are. I will start a new life but had the china.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Well I broke my record with this game lasting me about 2 minutes. As I was born and aged up to 1 I got throat cancer. No cure so aged up till 18 quickly got a job at the fastfood store because I wanted it to end quick and I aged up to 19 got an offer to take a suitcase to another country did it got charged for drug trafiking. Sentenced to 11 years. the first person I attacked killed me with a bowling ball and that was the end in the very same year. Lol what a life. But when I did that game and I went in to assets, didn't see my heirlooms but when I went out of the game in the main menu its there.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

How did you kill an inmate? Did you attack them? And if you’re a female, do you go into an all female prison? I am a male currently and I am in an all male prison. And my behavior is really good, it’s at 90%. I’m being a good prison bitch for now lol. And I am wondering if the heirlooms are sort of like the achievements, collect all of them? Correct me if I’m wrong. But that’s what it seems like it. Or it might just be a collection?

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I think it might be a collection so that you play every day you get one. Meaning that they want you to play. Wow I never checked my behavior. Is that in profile? Can't remember seeing that. And yes I attacked an inmate and he died from my injuries. What ever character you play and you go to prison that's where you end up. Even in real life a male prison can't have females vice-versa. I was supposed to be on parole and got asked a question and I think I didn't answer it correctly and was sent back. One thing I hope for in the future update is if you get charged for a crime and you can't afford a lawyer you could ask your parents. Also for what ever offence a person could be out on bail before a case calls. It could take years to call but you have to visit the police station for the amount of years you are on bail to sign it each year. If you forget you get arrested. Meaning you can't jump bail or flee the country. Lol.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Wow I had so much fun there. In one year I managed to murder 3 people. One of the person's name was horney Emily. Lol. All or most of their names make me laugh. When you do end up killing someone your respect goes up by 100%. So I had 3 charges against me. Assault manslaughter and car theft. Wonder how to bring up your health in prison. I mean if you go to the gym I think health goes up by 5%. I died by a pen. Lol.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

To check your behavior, click the prison tab and click on sentence. If you scroll down it will tell you how many years you have to serve and how many years you’ve completed so far. And if you scroll more down it says your behavior and then your respect. My respect was at 68%. And yes I agree, a bunch of inmates have funny names. There was one prisoner called the wanker, and another one called the stroker lol. And I checked the heirloom section when you click on main menu. And it tells you how much you have left for the next heirloom to be available. For example, it will say something like three hours and 15 minutes until next heirloom, or something like that. And if you scroll more down it has the heirlooms you collected, if you have any, and the rest are 3 question marks. And let me tell you, that is a long list of question marks. And I forgot about that, males are with males and females with females. Can’t believe that totally slip through my fingers lol. And what do you consider as a low size. Like 40% and under? And same with respect, like 30% and under? Because I found an inmate with 2% respect and 29% size. And I finally killed my brother lol. I killed him by performing a drive-by. I didn’t have a license so I could’ve performed a drive-by so I did my drivers test. And then I went to commit The drive-by, and I couldn’t because I didn’t have a car lol. So I stoled one. I totally forgot I didn’t have a license or car, which are both needed in a drive-by obviously lol. But I didn’t get caught, sadly, I went to his funeral to make it seem like it wasn’t me lol, even though I hated his guts.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I am a free man right now. I applied for the apprentice cameraman and in the interview, they asked me what superpower I would have if I could choose, and I chose, power mimicry. Which basically means the if this power lets you mimic other powers that are around you. So I thought that would be cool so I went with that answer. And I didn’t get the job, I got rejected lol. All because of my answer. And so I applied for a different company, same position, but they asked me a more reasonable question. And I guess my answer was good enough because I got hired.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I believe if a person is under 50 or 40 in size and has low respect you could attack them and may get away with it. Its harder to attack the bigger criminals. When you do they either dodge or kill you. I wish if when you go to the infirmry that when they give you medicine the health goes up to 100%. I rumbled with my sister a lot. She didn't like me because my parents bought us a dog and I didn't want it so we faught till I was 18 and then moved on to bigger crimes. For job interviews I kind of like it and sometimes don't because I'm not sure what answer they look for even when I try to choose the best option possible.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I forgot to say in my last post that when my game ended I got a rol x watch. I wanted to sell it so bad. I would've gotten $27000 for it.

By Sabrina on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

You seem to dislike your brother. :-) I hate my mother right now. And I called the cops on her so now she nnvhates me too. haha.
Yes, it is possible to sell the aerlooms. But not sure if I have to do that in this life or if I can do it in next but I got the money for it so that is okay.
My health is on 0. First I messed up a plastic surgery and I had the doctor pay me for that. Then my mom asaulted me really bad.
I will probably die wich is okay because I am in a high debt like seven hundred thousand. That’s a lot of cash. I regret suing the doctor because the other one, who ironically has the name of my sister, botched a lip assuction and a facelift. Ugh. I don’t want to sue Irina because then I have no one to improve my looks though I wouldn’t dare to do another surgery because if Irina fails this time I will D! I! E! wich is not what I want. I am to fragile for crimes. lol

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

@ornella, yea, I found out the hard way lol. I attacked a criminal with 92% respect and 78 size. And my health went down, I’ve never been to the infirmary. I didn’t want to go lol, I wanted to see how long I can survive in prison with low health, but I survived lol. And I got a used tissue from Bitlife HQ lol and it’s worth $30,000. Can you believe that? I started laughing when I read that.
@sabrina, I don’t dislike my brother, I hate my brother lol, but I am happy to report that he is now 6 feet under lol. And he started it, when we were kids, I tried to have a conversation with him but instead he attacked me and when we were in high school he attacked me with a switchblade, and I went to prison for nine years for breaking into a house, but once I got out, I had sweet revenge lol. And I’ve been wanting to sue someone sooooo bad lol. Every time I get plastic surgery, it’s always a success and when I get assaulted or attacked by a family member/random person, it won’t let me sue then. How did you sue your mom? Did she attack you and a pop-up asked you if you wanted to sue her? Or was she in the list of people you can sue?
Has anyone gone to prison rich or famous yet? And if so, how was it? I want to become famous again but this time go to prison, I want to see how I get treated in prison, or if I even get sentenced to prison.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

@ornella, I forgot to tell you that I died with 100% fame. I died at the age of 106. I was hoping my wife would die before me so I can get all her money lol Even though I was loaded. When you were a famous magician, when did your fame go away? Or did you die famous? And how old were you? For me, nothing special happened, the only thing it said, well not the only thing but the thing it did say, that the company who ran the commercial I did for a lot of years sent me flowers, but that’s it. It didn’t say anything about fans missing me or stuff like that.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

You all making me burst out laughing so hard. Lol. I didn't die famous but something was mentioned about my fame when I died in earlier versions. When my fame went away for my funeral it said that the night club had a moment of silence because I frequented all of them. Can't remember if anything else was mentioned. I will have to check that out with being famous and going to prison but I think you won't because you will have plenty money so its a possibility that what ever crime you commit you will get away with it or if you go to jail and just for fun you could choose the public defender. Which leads to my question. Has anyone gotten free from using the public defender or is it just there for anyone who can't afford a lawyer. And I think pick-pocketing has gotten a bit harder. Every time I pick pocket they always run away. And when I was trying to steal a car, wait for it, a blind man saw me and called the cops. Hahahahahahahahahah. When I started a new game and tried to sell some of the heirlooms I couldn't so if anyone knows please share. And anytime my mom and dad gave me one dollar I insulted them. Lol.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I think the public defender is just there so if you can’t afford a lawyer. It might also be random if a public defender get you off the hook. But I’m pretty sure 99% of the time you’ll go to jail with a public defender. And if you think about it, if you have millions in your account, you can bribe the guards every year. And really? A blind man saw you lmaooo, omg how freaking ironic, what are the odds. And I think for the heirlooms, you can only sell the ones that you collect in that life, I think previously heirlooms from another life, you can’t sell. I could be wrong though. Haven’t really messed around with them. But I will try in my next life. And pick pocketing I’ve done it a few times, the last time I did it, I pick pocketed a stripper, it turned out to be my brothers wife lol. And I think she told him because after I pick pocketed her, he argued with me and he didn’t want anything to do with me lol.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

In a last life I did bribe the guards but I'm not sure how that was effective. This life I now finished I had plenty money but didn't waste it on bribing because again I didn't understood it much. I had a girlfriend and I arranged for her to come down for a conjugal visit and she didn't want to so I tried to come out of jail to murder her but I died in my sleep. Lol. I don't think we could sell previous heirlooms. I've tried it.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Yea, I agree with the whole bribing guards thing. It would still be fun to try it though. I’ll probably blow all my money on bribing guards lol. Is there a way to bribe the guards with sex? I would rather do that then pay them lol. And I didn’t think it was possible to sell previous heirlooms, I think you can only sell the heirlooms that you currently have or get in that life.
And how many ribbons do you have so far? I bet you have a lot, since you play each life pretty fast.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I think I have 13 ribbons. In one life every time I age up I keep getting called different names but skeezy isn't coming up. Lol. I think you could bribe the guards with sex but it comes up in a different way. Meaning secret form. I can't remember the exact words but it doesn't say sex even though we know what it means. And that's the thing I understand what the word bribe means but in the game I don't know what kind of protection I'm getting when I pay because I still get hurt or I'm missing something.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I don't think anyone would believe this. I have a game in progress now and I wished if I had opened it before I got the heirloom which was a funeral ern worth 100k but that's not the point. Again I was going to study engineering and my parents didn't want to pay so you know what that meant. Lol. I stole a car murdered my mother got 700 k plus attended her funeral. In the same year murdered my dad got 32k and attended to make it look like I didn't do it. And guess what I applied for the job as a police and got it. Well, let's see how this goes. I'm a patrolman. Lol. Oh and the car that I stole I sold it and got 8000 then I bought a new house and car like nothing happened. Lol. Lets see where this takes me.

By Sabrina on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

That is crazy! That is so cool.
I am playing Chyna Rose. Currently I am in debt and have seven children and if I feel I will be in debt before I dieI am going to let my oldest daughter get the debt. ha ha. And I hate her! She does not like my gifts, she didn't care when I payed her university studies. She didn't apreciate it at all. How ungrateful.
I am thinking of killing her. I got so pissed with her I gave her a box of dead cockroaches. That is nasty.
Yu can sell your treasure only on current life, wich means the life you live when you got it. I got a map of USA and sold it for only 2 dollars. Ugh. That sucked. I should have sold the geisha dolls; they were valuable.

By Sabrina on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

No I did not sue my mother. I decided to sue my doctor for failing surgery and then I had the other left that was aweful so didn't want to sue her. You cannot sue family.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Omg ornella, i’m glad I’m not your parents lol. And 13 ribbons wow! I only have nine. I have more characters dead though but a lot of them have the same ribbon. And really? You can’t sue family? Wow, I would’ve sued my brother for assaulting me or my parents, because they didn’t do anything about him. And can you imagine, suing your parents just because they won’t pay your university lol. And I got my girlfriend a Louis Vuitton bag, which anyone in real life would’ve been appreciative, her appreciation level was only 30%, I wanted to Yellit her so bad, but I didn’t because I want to be engaged when I go to prison lol. All the cars I have currently, our stolen ones. And one broke down, but I decided to hold off on it until she said yes to my proposal, so now time to go get arrested lol. And try to have a prison wedding, if that’s possible, if she leaves me, I’m going to kill her lol.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Wait, is having a prison wedding even possible? I forgot to ask if anyone knows lol.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

In my next life I will have to try and see if a prison wedding is possible because when I went to prison my girlfriends always leave me and never want to come down for a conjugal visit. And it would be nice to sue your family. I did go to prison for killing my sister because that dumb lawyer took 400000 from me and I had to appeal to come out. Thank god I appealed for less and got out. When I tapped on letter nothing came up. I killed everyone in my family. Lol. I wish if we could sell stuff from the previous life.

By Joel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I’ve killed 59 people. If people want, I can tell you how I did it.

By Sabrina on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Oh please tell me. I am curious.

By DMNagel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

You can probably try to kill people and if things don't turn out well, you can just close the app on the Phalia pop-up screen. This will allow you to try again.

By Joel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I don’t like using that because that feels like cheating. When I play, I don’t cheat.

By Joel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

This is how I did it. I started killing people when I was 18, and I went to the library each year. Get about 10 kills and one country, then leave. Repeat the process over and over again. If you get caught, just pay lawyers and they will help you get out. Or just appeal your sentence if you do wind up in prison. It’s important to have a high-paying job, because if you don’t, won’t be able to appeal your sentence if you get caught. I recommend being a brain surgeon.

By DMNagel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Anyway, would like to know your method along with Sabrina.

By DMNagel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Thanks

By Joel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Read post 536.

By DMNagel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

You already beat me to the post while I was still typing LOL.

By Joel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

People should try what I did and see how far you get.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Well for sure I can confirm that there isn't a way to get married in prison. I made sure to engage to my girlfriend then murder someone. She came down for a conjugal visit but I found no way to get married. She sent me some chewing gum. Lol. Joel I agree with you about closing out the app sometimes I never really like to do that because I mean what's the fun in having everything go so perfect right? When ever I fail my driving test I just pay and do it over it costs next to nothing. Also with the lawyer sometimes it don't matter how much money you have because the lawyers could screw you over hard. I wish I could sue them back. I even lost my appeal and I was making 100k. This time I will die by electric chair on my 52 birthday unless if I could win a next appeal again because I escaped the death penalty from killing my sister. They should add a cerial killer achievement or ribbon.

By DMNagel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

It would be great if we could become the most wanted like bin Laden. Everyone would put a bounty on your head.

By Sabrina on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

Basically I don't see the fun in closing and reopening the app whenever I fail.
Living another crazy life. I was trying > take that challengeof having 100 babies but the girls aren't helping me because some of them don't keep the baby and some loose them.
Also, I have HIV now and my health went down to five and I doubt I will be able to complete that challenge because I will die.
When I have died I am going to do that thing with trying to kill sixty people in one life. That is a lot of crazyness. And I love crazy.
I don't have time for my family. My children will remember me as a terribse father.

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I agree with you dm and they should also let you trade items in prison like if they have a commissary and you're rich you could buy things to eat or what ever to make you feel better and show off or make a hustle. And you could pay to get special treatment if you're famous. And wow I didn't get the deadly ribbon but I thought that ribbon is if you keep dieing so many times. Lol. Will send them another tweat some time again.

By DMNagel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

With high smarts, we could plant bombs and plan other methods of mass killings. Idiots could blow themselves up by accident.

By Moopie Curran on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

In reply to by X2

Hi,
One of my characters, I think I told you about him, anyway, he got away with 9 murders before being killed by his own son (who was a junior by the way). But the murder methodd that my character used was the drive by. I've found that seems to be the most successful method. What do you guys think? Does going to the library and stuff really help the characters be more successful as criminals?

By Ornella on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I think the prison library works like the real library. If I go each year the smarts don't go up. When I went the first year I was in it went up byn5 and the next year it went down. I doubt that it would make you a smarter criminal but that would be really cool. And yes my favourite is the drive by it never fails well most of the time it works anyway because that's how I killed my sister and I get caught. When I do a drive by I sell the car after a few killings then try to steal another. I just got the deadly ribbon. I died from someone hitting me with a belt. No one came to my funeral. My girlfriend broke up with me because she thought that I would be gay in prison. I was going to come out of prison and kill her but I lost that appeal. I joined a gang and when I attacked someone they attacked me then my gang killed that person for messing with me. The guards slapped me. Lol.

By DMNagel on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

I got a newspaper worth $2. I played with it because i was only 10. When i became 12, they allowed me to sell it.

By X2 on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 19:41

What does going to the library have to do with crimes? Does it get you smarter? Or what. And how did you get the deadly ribbon? And I know, I tried to get married in prison, but there is no option. I am engaged to my girlfriend, but she didn’t want to come down to have a conjugal visit. Might kill her when I get out lol. And I might try the whole killing people in different countries. I’m really curious to see how that plays out. And is the drive-by the most effective? Someone said it was. Just want to make sure. When I tried to kill my brother, I did the atomic wedgy lol it didn’t work, but it worked on one of my exes lol.
