UPDATE
With the addition of Stunt Props now being available in creating a capture, it is now easier to create your own AFK capture (on current gen consoles and PC).
Here's how.
TEXT TUTORIAL
Go to the prop category Stunt Set Pieces, and select the type Wall Ride Curve.
Stack 2 on top of each other, and create a template, starting with the prop on top.
Place that template where you want your first half of the circle to be.
Then place the prop type Long Striped Concrete (under the Barriers category) end to end (and overlaping) with your template placement to act as a guide.
Place a second template of wall ride curve props to complete the circle, and have the ends of curves (from template placement 1 and template placement 2) overlaping each other by the same distance (if not slightly more) that the long striped concrete prop covers.
Now delete the long striped concrete prop that was acting as your guide for wall ride curve prop overlapping distance, and your 1st circle is complete!
Here's a video of what I just explained, showing this job's creation in creator mode (with different colored props to help emphasise PROPer placement).
And here's a video of that job being played. (Notice the perfect timing of the job, automatically ending at the most efficient time.)

ORIGINAL POST
Its been 1 year (to the day) since I created my fully AFK capture "Time is Money", and now I'm ready to share it.
You can run it in a playlist with a friend while you're both at school, work, or just sleeping,
and you'll make plenty of money and rank for doing practically nothing.
When its run 16 times with the rounds set to 7, it can run for over 24 hours, and give out over 3 million dollars (split between 2 players),
and all you need to do, is have a way to keep your left joystick pointed straight up, like with a rubber band.
Here's a video that shows the AFK capture in action.
If you're on PS4, you can bookmark this playlist...
(just set your Walk Style to Normal)
https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps4/playlists/playlist/8dsQgqQRSEKxDaAs9Rg6KA
...but if you're playing on any system other than PS4, you'll have to make your own "Time is Money" job, and copy it 16 times.
Here's a video of my job being played (with a few notes)
Here's a video of my job in the creator.
Here's how to make the job.
CAPTURE DETAILS
Set the Number of Teams to 2.
Set number of players to either 2 or 3. (3 can let 2 players win while 1 loses)
Set the Time Limit to 20. (optional)
Set the Target Score to 6. (optional)
Set the Carry Limit to 1.
Force Camera View to Third Person Only, (and make sure you use a Normal Walk Style in Freemode)
PLACEMENT
Under the prop category Buoys and Platforms,
find the Floating Platform, turn it on its side, and place it in a clearing.
Place a 2nd Floating Platform on its side, touching the 1st one, and forming an obtuse angle with the flattest sides.
Then create a template of these 2 props.
Use the end of the template that is able to clip through props to make a chain of Floating Platform props, all turning at the same angle.
Keep chaining them together until you've created a large circle of these props.
Place 1 team spawn point inside the circle, next to a Floating Platform prop and running paralell with it.
Place that team's Capture Point on top of that.
Place a capture object at the opposite end of the prop's circular interior.
Place your other team's Start Point and Capture Point anywhere outside of the circle for now.
Test the capture, and hold your left joystick straight up, but press nothing else.
If the time it takes you to collect and deliver the package (in my job, its 2m 33s in the creator)
equals slightly more than your "total job time goal" (in my job, its 15 minutes)
divided by your Target Score (in my job, its 6),
then you have the correct angle for your Template, and can create a template of that circle of props for your 2nd team.
If the time is too fast, delete all the props, and create a new 2-piece template with a wider angle, and try again.
If the time is too slow, delete all the props, and create a new 2-piece template with a narrower angle
OR add some props to cut some of the corners. (its easier to cut corners than to make the circle larger)
Once you feel that the size of the prop circle will guide your character
to collect and deliver all of the packages just after your "total job time goal",
give it 1 full length test to be sure.
You want to make sure it ends a few seconds after your "total job time goal"
My job ends around 15m 15s in the creator,
because I took into account that you run for a few steps when starting a capture, but not in the creator.
Once you have created 1 perfectly-sized circle, simply make a Template of that circle for your 2nd team,
set up the Start Point, Capture Point, and Capture Object in the same way, test, and publish.
Walk Style affects your speed.
Since the Walk Style in the creator is locked to the last one you were using,
and you base the speed of the job on how fast you walk it,
I recommend choosing a walk style that you're always going to use.
My job is created off of the Normal Walk Style, and should be run with that walk style.
Here's a few pictures of how I choose to make my left joystick point straight up.
https://postimg.org/gallery/1ah5tdjvc/ (using a hair-tie and a rubber band)
Once you get in in position, rock the joystick in the spot a little to get it set just right.
EDIT: I forgot to mention this, even though it should be common knowledge...
To set the rounds to 7, the player that initially hosts the playlist should do so from their own private session. (Host session THEN host playlist) This means that if you want to let your friend use your playlist that they don't have bookmarked themselves, you'd have to start a private session, (optionally invite your friend to the session,) host the playlist, invite your friend to the playlist, then once your friend joins you can quit and them invite their friend. (for helping friends that don't use the Social Club to host 7 rounds)
