The only fights I lose on my lower character are when I try to attack somebody 40 levels higher than me on the burn list (hey, if you wanna be a good bounty hunter, you have to take chances!) So here's what I do:

I have 2 sets of accessories... one set for high in charm for attacking and one set high in popularity for defending. I used to use party packs for defense (and now in the new accessory sale at the mall event, I went for the Prada Satchels every time b/c they have 4 pop, just like the party packs and are good for defense) AND I had a full set of Blackberries for attack. Now, I'm selling the party packs and blackberries, and I'm buying all credit cards. I also have other items thrown in there, but I don't fight with them... I have lots of shoes that I wear on my avatar, but I don't use them to fight with.

For outfits, I bought a full set of juicy couture dresses, and when I could afford to upgrade, I sold the juicy couture dresses and bought all flowered blouses. Now, I'm working on having a full set of the flowered blouses AND a full set of the lime green evening gowns, but I'm still in the process of getting that worked out.

For cars, I bought all priuses. As I could afford to, I sold the priuses and bought Mercedes and Cadillacs. Now, I'm working on selling off all the Mercedes and buying Hummers.

This strategy DOES waste some money by buying stuff and then selling it off, but you CAN'T buy a full set of the good stuff right off the bat because you don't have the money, so you have the buy the cheaper stuff first and then work your way up.

But here's the thing. A credit card costs $120,000 and a party pack costs $3000. You can buy 40 party packs for the price of one credit card, and you're going to get 80 charm and 160 popularity from 40 party packs and only 12 charm and 10 popularity from one credit card for the same price. It's better to have lots of the cheap stuff at first than it is to try to buy the best stuff first because you're just not going to be able to have a full set of it in the beginning.

I know... have you seen the girl that had been up for 3 hours on the BL? I am not bothering to lose on that one... level 68.

Yeah, I'm on my lower level character, but on my higher one, I can do 12-15 damage to her... I still LOSE, but I can windle her down... I did it one time when the same girl was on there and spent over $100,000 in the spa, but I ran out of stamina finally and then while I was waiting to build up stamina again, somebody else got my bounty! LOL! I'm NOT wasting my money this time on her!

Ok so is there a way that YOU choose what you fight with , or is this the games choice??

The game selects the best items for the type of fight you are doing. For instance, if you are attacking somebody else, then the game pulls the best items for attack (the ones highest in charm). And if somebody attacks you, then the game pulls the best items for defense (the ones highest in popularity).
