What's new in version 1.2 (release date to be announced)
I'm happy to announce that the current version of CONTASION 2 has been under the hammer. The game now includes dozens of features to make the multiplayer more enjoyable, and not as repetitive. I have also fixed many glitches I have received through the support email.
This game is no longer suitable for people under the ages of 18.
Introducing the Auto Updater
CONTASION 2 will now feature a separate application which will check for updates and then launch the game. This process takes less than 10 seconds (if an update is not required). This feature is especially handy if something needs hot-patching more effectively. When important updates are deployed to you, an announcement will be posted on Steam also.

Introducing Player Skills
I wanted to make the game more enjoyable, with many key features which help distinguish this top-down sandbox from others. Player Skills allow each player to have the ability to offer other players a service of some kind. Below are a list of skills.
SKILL: Hitman
All players except hitmen can place hits on other players for £1,000. It is then the hitman's responsibility to take that player down for the cash reward. When you're a skilled hitman, other players will have an X icon next to their nametag which will flash continuously until they are killed.
If you are a regular player and you have a hit on your head, then hitmen will have a skull icon next to their nametag.
SKILL: Mechanic
Players who are mechanics can offer other players services. Other players can purchase the following items from mechanics:
NOS canisters
Players can fit their vehicle with NOS at any time when they have a canister in their inventory.
Vehicle Repair Kit
One of these handy kits can completely fix your vehicle. This can be done by exiting your vehicle and pressing the displayed button when near the front of your vehicle.
Fix Vehicle
This options allows the mechanic to fix your vehicle instantly for a specified amount
Red Paint
This paint will completely colour your vehicle bright red. (excluding police cars)
SKILL: Drug Dealer
Players can now consume drugs which will refill their health for a short amount of time. The more drugs that are consumed, the more of your health will be replenished. Any players (including Drug Dealers) can purchase drugs from Andreas: a BOT which will walk around the streets disguised as a regular pedestrian until you approach him. Andreas will not be marked on the minimap for players who are not drug dealers. The services that a dealer offers are as follows;
1g of drugs
One gram cannot be consumed at a time. The player must consume at least 10g. 10g will completely refill the player's health.
Drug Bag
This allows anybody to hold more than the standard 250g of drugs.
Plant Seed
When you hold a plant seed, you can plant a drug anywhere. This plant will then begin growing drugs until it is caught by a police officer or torched by another online player. Drugs can be harvested from the plant at any time.
20 pistol bullets
Drug Dealers also offer a pistol to anybody who wants one.
SKILL: Food Vendor
Players can offer food to other players to replenish their health. The following items can be sold:
1) Cola Can
2) Coffee
3) Pint of milk
4) Biscuit
SKILL: Private Medic
Private Medics can give medical attention to other players. The following items can be sold:
Heal Player
This will refill the player's health
Buy 1x STD kit
This will cure the player of any outstanding STDs
Buy 1x condom
This will prevent the player from attracting an STD if they are violated by another player
Buy a chlamydia/gonorrhea/syphilis needle
Buying one of these diseases will be detrimental to your health. Each disease will take up to 1HP every second. If the player is on drugs, the drugs will help prevent the diseases from taking so much health.
SKILL: Kidnapper
Kidnappers can lure other online players into their vehicle by simply sounding their horn. Once a player is in the vehicle with you, the kidnapper can then lock the vehicle doors and take them to a disguised dungeon where the victims cannot escape unless another online player pays their ransom of £1,000.
All victims will slowly perish. If they completely die, they will lose £1,000, and this will be credited to the kidnapper.
SKILL: Arms Dealer
Arms Dealers can offer weapons to other online players. If you are an Arms Dealer and another player purchases weapons from you, the weapons will be taken from your inventory, so it is important to fill up your weapons from Buck.
SKILL: Carjacker
Carjackers have the ability to break into other player's vehicles if they are locked. They also have the ability to sell vehicles at the Vehicle Crane for up to £80,000 (depending on the quality of the vehicle)
Introducing the Carlton Rooftop Party
Every Friday in the City of Pliston, all players can enter the Club Carlton Rooftop Party for £6. Entering this rooftop will disconnect you from the current server, and instead enter you into a private server full of people who are also on the rooftop.
Rooftop Information
1) Violence is disallowed: players are stuck with their fist
2) Drinks cost up to £4 (£2 per shot)
3) Loud music will be sounding all night
4) The club will close on Saturday at 5am
5) Upon leaving, you will be returned to your old server, or another if slots are unavailable
Introducing the Player List
Everyone can now select options for other online players through the Jump List. The following options can be selected for each player:
Vote to Kick
This option will help vote to kick the specified player. If more than half of the server votes; the player will be unable to join that server until the following day.
Report (to the Dev)
This option will submit a report to the developer. Action is usually taken within the first week. The CONTASION 2 Behaviour Policy will soon be released to the public.
Waypoint

Private Message

Introducing CONTASION 2 Poker (Aka Queen of Hearts)
Players can now play Texas Hold'Em Poker in CONTASION 2 with up to 5 other players! All active sessions will be displayed in the Server Menu.
Additional information
There is one more skill which I haven't listed due to it being completely obscene. Everyone can select this hidden skill if they play CONTASION 2.
