Title: Pimpwars
Post by: videoholic on March 25, 2002, 08:19:39 AM
When does the game we are in end?

It seems like we are doing pretty darn good.  Everyone ranked anywhere near us has twice as many people in the alliance.  

We need to try and get 18-20 people in the next game.  

That was my first try at it but I am looking forward to the next try since I know more about it now.


A questions:

Where do you look for Whores?  Do the different districts mean anything?

yup, when my 40 supply is high..I goto wino district usually. How much cash on hand affects when you pick up hoes as well. Do you steal hoes? how many turns do you use searching for hoes? Try searching in different area\'s untill you figure out the pattern, its kinda confusing to explain.

You can see when the game ends when you are in the games section. It will say like day 15 of 30. I think there is only 6 more days in game 43 and 45. Im currently playing 43,44,45 and 47 :)

Damn, there is a lot to it.  I didn\'t realize they look at your cash and brewskies.   I need all the tips I can get so I can rock on next round.

so whens the next game starting? do they give you somewhat of a warning for the next game becuase its pretty hard to climb up in ranks if u sign up too late.  For game #43 i signed up as Hue_G_Rection_59 as the 4000 user or something and ive only been able to climb up to around 1500. but in game 47 i signed up as Kimahri as the 900 user and i am around 125th in that game and my alliance is in a bout 8th, whoo!

So for then next game if we all sign up early and form and alliance we should be able to do very well.

I...kinda...left the alliance...

I\'m sorry, it was just too tempting.  Some other alliance offered me a spot!  Anyway, I\'m doing pretty good for my first time playing.  I really got the hang of it now.  I\'m ranked about 96 last I checked.

I know most of the games don\'t let you in if you have a free e-mail address.Is aol considered a"free" e-mail address?
Title: Pimpwars
Post by: ben_high on March 26, 2002, 07:41:35 AM
BTW I agree 100% with video.I don\'t think we\'ve ever had more than 10 members in our alliance yet we have stayed competitive with all the other alliances with 18-20 members.

              I think the games start over again at the beginning of every month maybe in the next few days we should start a "official alliance members only"thread and try to get a good team ready before the games start.

Post by: luckee on March 26, 2002, 07:47:40 AM
The key is buying turns..I bought some in game 45 and now im worth like 733million :) I plan on buying some for the next new game in april. Im gonna start the Popimps up again and see how we do this time. Just a little hint, dont run and join the first game you see..there are slightly different rules for every game.

Well, I didn\'t buy any turns.  Basically, I only scout for whores, nothing else.  Other things are a waste of turns.  Figure out which area works best and use it every time.  For me it\'s the Nightclub District.  I think it works better to use a lot of turns at once.  I usually use about 300.  Then, spend the money you get first on enough medicine, crack, beer, and condoms to keep your people happy, but only until you scout again.  Don\'t buy more crack than you have hoes, or more beer than you have thugs.  Divide the rest of your money evenly between thugs and weapons.

That\'s what I did.  I\'m ranked about 60 now.

Shockwave you said you don\'t keep very much crack on hand.Are\'nt you worried about getting hit with a crackbomb?
Title: Pimpwars
Post by: shockwaves on March 26, 2002, 03:02:01 PM
I probably would be if I even knew what that was.  Remember, it is my first time playing...
Title: Pimpwars
Post by: ben_high on March 27, 2002, 05:08:09 AM
Crackbomb-If somebody has 5000 hoes and they don\'t keep enough crack on hand,about 1,000,000 is probably enough to protect you,I can kill all of your ho\'s by trying to steal your ho\'s with about 30,000,000 peices of crack.They smoke it and o.d.Game over.

Sounds good except for the crack thing. dont waste money on crack..spend like 40 turns total producing it. You make money and crack.

Another tip, dont leave lowriders sitting around..makes you an easy target for theft.

I\'d rather buy the crack.  In the time you produce it, you could find enough hoes to more than make make up for the money spend buying it.

I only have one low rider, and that\'s cause I got it as a bonus while scouting.

As for the crack thing, thanks for telling me.  I\'ll be sure to keep more on hand.

I spent 18 turns producing crack.  I now have 3,115,310 crack for 63,906 whores.  Think that\'s good enough?
Title: Pimpwars
Post by: ben_high on March 27, 2002, 01:28:15 PM
Probably more like 20,000,000 just to be sure.Does\'nt sound like that\'s going to be a problem for you.

well......what exactly do dues do?.......do they allow the alliance leader to establish deffencive and offencive thugs for us? If so i think 2% or even more is a fair number, it would assure us that we always had some thugs incase someone gets zer0ed.

you\'ve hit the nail on the head. I\'ll wait on the dues thing, just so we can establish ourselves. We should be pretty safe unless we start attacking ppl for no reason. When we start out anyway. If we have a problem, everyone in the alliance within attacking range should kill all of said persons thugs and whores. Otherwise we should mind our business untill we are kings. :)
Title: Pimpwars
Post by: videoholic on March 28, 2002, 04:09:06 AM
That\'s the main reason why I didn\'t do so hot.  I was attacking people for the hell of it and losing men.  Once I stopped attacking people I shot up.
Title: Pimpwars
Post by: ben_high on March 28, 2002, 04:56:41 AM
I pretty much ignore attacks at the beginning of the game as long as they are\'nt messing with my ho\'s.Hell even if they kill 500 thugs thats only 500,000 to replace them.

Well...****.  Another high ranking alliance decided to target the one I\'m in.  So after being attacked by several people many many times, I now have no thugs.  Well, I\'ve learned my lesson, I\'ll stay in the right alliance next game.

Btw...even with no thugs, I was still ranked 150 something :p

Post by: SER on March 30, 2002, 05:03:41 AM
Two people stole a crapload of thugs from me the other day and I went back to the high 900\'s... But I\'m back to the 700\'s, too late to get any higher as the game is ending soon. Next time. :cool:
Title: Pimpwars
Post by: luckee on March 30, 2002, 10:03:48 PM
Ok guys.. 43,44, and 45 have ended. Another game or 2 should be starting soon, so keep an eye out. The guy who is starting the alliance has no probs with me bringing people on, but we all have to play everyday and have each others backs when it comes to retalliation. Also, don\'t bring unecessary attention by attacking others untill we goto war. Just concentrate on building up. If someone hits you once, let it be, just add them to your b itch list and get them later. If you cant get them later, the werent worth it in the 1st place :) We are just focused on getting as high as possible int he ranks!.

If anyone is interested, just let me know when games start again for april. We ended up in 61st place as an alliance...not only that but we got zero\'d several times by several alliances. We came back and had the last laff :) Every alliance that went ot war ended up at the very least..3 spots behind us! :D
