In the dead of night hours during 3AM, Mersea is a cornerstone of a fruitful and thriving drug production economy. I got to witness this first-hand during one of my patrols for the Mersea Bridge Authority when I first encountered a cohort of deers. That night, as I was patrolling the bridge, I was attacked. A bag was shoved over my head, I was hogtied, I was driven out into Medford. And when they pulled the hood off, I was kneeling in front of an open grave with a gun pointed at my head. That was my introduction to rnrmrnrnrn, PotRiceCooker, Vader0201! I was terrified. But not for long. That night, I saw opportunity. A shot at big money. And I grabbed it and I held it tight. And for the next sixteen months, my every waking moment was spent building their drսg empire.1

During my routine patrol of the one and only bridge in Mersea, I encountered the armed deer and was left with a choice: do I enforce the law and arrest them whilst they were actively shooting civilians and law enforcement, or do I be lowkey chill with them in exchange for protection from their rath? The answer was quite obvious since one of those options actually benefitted me.

Supplying of Nopy

So, at 3AM, the deer allowed me to join them from start to finish of making Nopy. Nopy is a infamous drug that’s beloved by the Mayflower elite to the bottom feeders of society. As such, it has a suprising unifying affect on the Mersea Populace when dealers first roll into town. I stared at awe as I witnessed Jerry’s Flower Barn slowly become into a bustling ethnic enclave that reminded me of the dense Istanbul bazaar2. I’ve been told first hand that the early morning hours of 3-4AM EST are prime times due to the oceanic and asian police force is essentially nonexistent. It also serves as a welcomed break from the sporadic violence between rival organizations and anarchist individuals.

Though unifying, both independent and organized dealers are in tight race to buy the limited stock from Jerry’s Flower Barn3. Some groups take up to public radio communication channels to coordinate, while others keep communications more encrypted like in Microsoft Team Meetings. While there, I had a surprising encounter with the Mayflower Red Front. They were chill and showed me cool new car they got after threatening to dox a developer.

Economics of Nopy

One of the things I’ve wondered throughout the steps is why is it worth it? Nopyfruit, except in its concentrated form, is a controlled substance in Clark County. At the scale that the deers were working at, it would of surmounted to felony possession and 30 minutes in jail if caught. Additionally, selling controlled substances could result in a 60 minute jail sentence.

And based on qualitative opinions of dealers, the answer is clear: it’s not really worth it.

Nopyfruit has been continuously nerfed to the point where profits are marginal to what they are used to. Many stated that logging is far more economical and legal. The only reason why so many dealers are willing to except these risks is because logging is extremely boring and doesn’t make for great gameplay. Plus, I heard that you do nopy, you might as well go all-out illegal and start carrying around 60-round mags and kill any cops who get in your way.

Each bag of Nopy sells for $5,200 UCD, with a estimated profit margin of around ~$2,000 UCD.

Selling Nopy and Killing Cops

So after they finished up manufacturing the nopy, which I would estimate probably around 200-400 pounds, the deers would despawn their storage vehicles and switch to the personal vehicles to head to Lander. In Lander, they spawned back their storage vehicles and began selling at the Lander Construction Site in front of Luxury Car Dealer. They sold without issue.

After that, to reward themselves with a hard nights of work, they went out and started killing Mayflower State Police and National Guardsmen.

THE END!
