Here's a tip: "Special brownies" =...well, drugged ones. Better options are
A. Using a good AGI/INT character to steal from apartments. Usually, the BEST apartments. Get a few, lockpick the doors (not in anyone's sight), and run away with the loot. Credit Card fraud is profitable, really. Getting a good thief character is also really profitable - clothing must be blackish/cat-like for high stealth. People in green = Liberal, stick to them first and after a good persuasion skill, then you can move up to the neutrals/conservatives ;P
Your early options is to focus on resources, and to get them by any means necessary. This includes not getting your members getting hit by the cops/getting caught in public. Meaning either stealing (one-man band) or credit fraud. Personally, I always go the pacifist route and steal steal steal
Community service is not a good investment of time early game - it only lowers the...err, heat on your area against the police/conservative forces. But it does better your image if you do equip a guitar/do good for the community. The latter usually is along the lines of "VIVA LE REVOLUTION", + guns in the air + exposing scandals of the government against the people.
It is always best to persuade liberal judges/lawyers to your side in case you get too far into hot waters and DO NOT HAVE DEATH SQUADS ON YOUR HEELS. Also a good getaway car is nice
...Yeah I've been playing it. Just a huge fan of roguelikes...Conservative nightmare style :x))
((...And I think you mistook May for Feyri...))
((whatever do you mean?))
((Read the LCS bit and look at "Feyri"'s pickup line...))

((That was never my line. Read it right, please.
@SC: Yes it is. The fact that the church in a conservative LCS nightmare is akin to the middle ages - not the pro-science kind, but the PURGE EVERYTHING WHO SPEAKS AGAINST OPEN MINDEDNESS. That was never the mission or belief of the church. Ever :/
So kudos for fighting against the system @ that area.
