Uplink Hints

A list of 'official' crimes.

  • These are 'official', since people in the GCD have these in their lists. Of course, the game will not care if they're guilty of Picking My Nose or Reckless Spamming or whatnot -- and there'll be a report of him being arrested for 'computer crimes' in the news no matter what you put him in for.

    * Robbery
    * Reckless driving
    * Disturbing the Peace
    * Man-slaughter
    * Unauthorised systems access
    * Unlawful access of classified data
    * Theft of sensitive data
    * Illegal modification of credit rating
    * Parole violation (or any line that has the word 'parole' in it. Most people like to use 'Broken Parole')
