3.1 Scout for Whores
This is where to go to make money for yourself, and go out and pickup some whores and thugs.
There are 5 places you can go scouting, which are: Casino District, Wino Slums, Low Rent
District, Nightclub District, and the Urban Ghetto. The recommended amount of turns to use each
time is around 12-14.

3.2 Produce Crack
Producing crack sends your whores out, while your thugs produce crack to keep your whores
happy, and keeps them from leaving you.

3.3 Attack Pimp
This is a neat little feature which allows you to go out and attack a pimp that is within your
range. Each attack takes two turns. You can do several different types of attacks, which are
as follows:

 _____________________________________________________________________________________________
|           Attack          |                        Description                              |

3.7 The Pimp's Bible
This is the Pimpwar's FAQ for the game. It explains the game just like I'm doing here.

3.8 New Pimp's Guide
This is a very quick rundown of the game to help new users get the hang of the game, so they
get a little idea of what they're supposed to do and how to survive.

3.9 Pimp Stats
This shows all your current stats kept by Pimpwar. The categories are:
Whores that have left you, thugs that have left you, whores stolen by you, whores stolen from
you, thugs you have killed, thugs of yours now dead, low-riders you have jacked, and low-riders
jacked from you.

3.10 Options
This configures Pimpwar to your liking. It gives you six options to choose from:
Account Password - Changes your current password.
Attack Notification - Enables/disables a message sent to either your ICQ or email when you have
been attacked.
Appearance - Changes the site's layout colors, and also changes a few options like Javascript
turn countdown, open Pimp Console in new window, and sounds on/off.
Your Website - Gives the source code to display your current pimp status on your own webpage.
Edit Profile - Let's your change your pimp picture, location, and your description.
Account Reset - This will reset or change a few different things that have to do with your
pimp. You can choose to either reset everything on your account, have your net-worth
recalculated, or specifically reset all possessions to zero, reset your pimp stats, remove
yourself from the current alliance you're in, or delete all your messages and attacks.

3.11 Official Rules
These are the official rules for Pipmwar, set up by Pimpwar.

3.12 Support Center
Right now, this is just a little joke, which gives you a random number.

3.13 LOGOUT
Does just that, logs you out.

================================================

(4) CONSOLE

Your console is where all of your messages-in, out, and alliance, attacks-in and out, send
message feature is, and where you can edit/look at your Rolodex.

4.1 Messages
Messages is all of your messages that have been sent to you by other pimps. These can be
deleted at any time using the Delete Messages button at the bottom of the page.

4.2 Messages (Out)
This is where all of the messages that you have sent to other pimps are kept for you to look
over and whatever else.

4.3 Messages (Alliance)
This is where all of the messages that your members in your alliance have posted, as well as
alliance notifications such as a pimp joining.

4.4 Attacks
Attacks is where every single attack and attack attempt is stored for your to see who did what
and when they did it. It posts the outcome of the attack, and how many thugs were killed in it.

4.5 Attacks (Out)
This is where all the attacks that you have done are kept, as well as their outcome, who you
attacked, and when you attacked them.

4.6 Send Message
This allows you to send a message to any pimp you want by either inputting their name, or their
ID number. You can also send the message to your alliance members only.

4.7 Rolodex
The Rolodex is the place where your Contacts, Enemies, Scratch Pad, and and Alliance Enemy
List. Your Contacts are basically like your Buddy List, which lists all the names on your list
on the send message page for you to choose from. The Enemy list is a list of people you don't
especially like, which lists all the names on your list on the attack page for you to choose
from. Your Scratch Pad is only seen by you, and is just a place to jot down some notes if you
ever want to remember someone's name, ID number, etc. The Alliance Enemy List is an Enemy list
that is kept by your alliance leader, for you to go attack if desired.

================================================

(5) THE CENTER COLUMN

The center column of the Main Menu is where all of your stats and information is at for you to
look at.

5.1 User Info
Here you will see your username, and a number, this being your ID number.

5.2 Rankings
A low ranking is what most pimps go after in this game. The lower the number your ranking is,
the better of a pimp you are, for the most part. You will see something like this written here:
Ranked ___ (Nat'l: ___)
The first number you see is the rank that you are in the city you're currently in, whether it
be New York City, Beverly Hills, or Detroit, it doesn't matter. The next number is your
national rank. This is where you are ranked among every pimp in the game, in every city. Thus,
to be ranked number one nationally is a pretty good accomplishment.

5.3 Networth
Your networth is what your rank is based on. The higher your networth, the more ranks you will
go down. This will show you how much you are worth. The following will tell you how your
networth is calculated.

Low-riders are worth $3,000 each
Hoes are worth $2,000 each
Thugs are worth $750 each
Medicine are worth $5 each
Crack are worth $3 each
Condoms are worth $.10 each
(Thanks to Pepperouchou for these numbers)

5.4 City
This tells you which city you are currently living in.

5.5 Money and Turns
Your money is what you have to go and buy condoms, pistols, low-riders, or anything else you
want. It is what your whores have made from both scouting and attacking someone, as well as
what you have gotten from selling various things.
Your turns are how many turns you have left to use. See section 10 for more.

5.6 Whore Payout
Your whore payout is a percentage which you can set from 1% anywhere up to 99%. This is how
much money your whores get for every time they go out and scout as well as make money while you
are attacking a pimp. If your payout is set too low, your whores will not be happy. But, if it
is set too high, you wont be getting any money, because your whores are keeping it all. You need
to find the number that keeps your whores at 100 happiness, but any lower would send their
happiness down. After your whore's happiness is around 70 and lower, they will begin to leave
you because they aren't getting what they want, that being money. After you have gotten enough
thugs, condoms, and crack, your whores will be very happy, and you can usually set their payout
down to 1%.
Tips: When you logout of Pimpwar, it is smart to set the payout to 99%, so if you get
zeroed, then your whores wont leave you, because they will be happy with you.
Also, the recommended amount of condoms you should have is your whores*whores. So, if you have
1,500 whores, you will need to have at least 2,250,000 condoms to keep them happy with no
thugs.

5.7 Whore and Thug Happiness
Your whores' and thugs' happiness are what keep them from staying with you or leaving you.
Your whores' happiness is determined on their payout, how many condoms they have, how much
much crack they have, and how many thugs they have to protect them. If you have high counts of
all of these, then you can probably lower your payout and still keep them happy.
Your thugs' happiness is simply determined on how many weapons they have, and also how much beer
they have. Your thug happiness will go down one for every thug that doesn't have a beer, and
then one more for every thug that doesn't have a weapon. If you have more or equal weapons and
beer than you have thugs, they will be just fine, at 100.

5.8 Rank Movement
Here you can see how much you have moved so far today in the ranks. You can see your local
movement, as well as your national movement. Your national movement tends to move faster,
because there are more pimps to go above or below. Remember, here, it is good to have an up
arrow, that means you are moving towards being the number 1 pimp. These two numbers will reset
at 10:00pm EST every day.

5.9 Attacks In/Out
This is a quick showing of the attacks that people have done on you, and also the attacks you
have done on other pimps. For more details, you can go to your console to read the results of
each attack (5.11 and 4).

5.10 Rank Calculated
This simply says when your rank movement will be recalculated (10:00pm EST).

5.11 Stats
This is simply where you can see how many whores, thugs, condoms, weapons, crack, beer,
medicine, low-riders, pistols, shotguns, Tek-9s, and AK-47s you have.

5.12 Open Console
This is a link to your console.

================================================

(6) TOMMY

Tommy is a high-tech homie in a low-tech hood. He can be found selling state of the art weapons
out of the back of his heavily modified Honda-CRX GT Twin Turbo with dual exhaust and extra
trunk space. When you and your boyz need to put the smack down on some perpetratin' punk who is
messing with your whores Tommy is the man to see. His weapons are for sale to anyone who has
enough cash but every so often he has a special surprise that is one of a kind. Beware of rival
gun dealers who would love to bust a cap in Tommy's ass and also means anyone standing near him
and his Ohh so very phat ride. Most thugs know Tommy and it is easy to hire some from where
ever he is at.
(By Pimpwar)

================================================

(7) CHARLIE

Charlie was never any good at math in school and he didn't like the styles of pocket protectors
his brother Bill was using so he knew computers were not for him. Although he contemplated
becoming a teacher himself, Charlie found his calling in his fifth year in shop class. Charlie
realized that by going out at night with a small propane torch he could steal parts from exotic
cars and put together hybrid machines of his own which he could later sell to Harvard graduates
at inflated prices. His passion for a mix of Porche 911 engines and Honda Civic body parts took
off with the homies in the hood and the first model Porch-911 (pronounced Pork) was born. A few
years later Charlie went on to lend his brother Bill $100,000 for his "superior operating
system" for computers which was named "DOSE" after his brothers infatuation with programming
while tripping on LSD. Somewhere along the road due to Bills speech impediment the "E" was lost
in adictation. Charlie still buys and sells cars today and as of last year is proud to announce
that all of his cars ship with a "Pimptium III Chip" and DOSE installed.
(By Pimpwar)

================================================

(8) PIP

Pip was a major in economics with a minor in chemistry at Yale before he was introduced to his
roommates bong "Mr Smokedown". Pip fell in love with marijuana and soon dropped out of school
to pursue a career as a party goers chemist.Using his knowledge of chemistry Pip dabbled in the
creation of designer drugs in the late 80's trying to make a drink that had the global appeal
of clean water and the euphoric effects of multiple orgasms in summer time. He never released
his final product to the public but you may notice he is always smiling and he is single. Pip
can be seen driving around the hood in an armor plated ice cream truck painted black playing
various remixed Ice-T songs and a bumper sticker stating "My IPO beat your IPO on Wall Street".
Pip deals in all drugs since he learned in his economics schooling that supply and demand is
king and with drugs there is always a demand and he plans to be the supplier. Pip also heard
the theory regarding drugs and the global economy and feels that he is holding the balance of
the worlds economic security in the back of his truck.
(By Pimpwar)

================================================

(9) GUNS

Pistol: Standard pistol. This is the cheapest gun available, which also makes it the least
powerful, and doesn't protect your thugs much.
Shotgun: Side to side double barrel 12 gauge. This gun is a little better that the pistol, but
it still doesn't offer much protection for you thugs.
Tek-9: Semi-automatic submachine gun. This gun allows for average protection against attacking
thugs, and will usually kill some of the attackers.
AK-47: Fully auto 30 round clip. This is the most expensive gun you can buy, and for that, it
is the gun that offers the best protection for your thugs.

================================================

(10) TURNS

Turns are what this game runs on. You need turns to do everything in the game, except purchase
items from the Corner Store, Tommy, Charlie, and Pip. Two turns are given out every ten
minutes, and the maximum amount of turns a player can have is 200, with all following turns
being deleted. Also, an additional 6 turns are given out if the pimp has not logged in for at
least six hours. But, the turn system is a bit buggy in Pimpwar, which can help a pimp, as well
as harm a pimp. First, the bonus six turns aren't always given out to you, even if you haven't
been logged in for six hours. Also, occasionally your turn count will go above 200, giving you
many more turns to spend scouting, attacking, or producing crack. But, to make up for these
bugs, sometimes Pimpwar will provide extra turns to all the pimps so they can use them as they
wish.
