Game servers
There are a number of game servers. You can join any number of games you wish. Each server may be hosting a different type of game (see below)

Games
A game generally runs from 2-4 weeks but may differ. Each game will have different aspects about it, like limitations on crew sizes and attack limits. The highest ranked Pimps at the end of each game are awarded free turns for their reserve, plus any prizes offered in that game.

Game Types
Each game will be one of a specific game type as follows:

PUBLIC FREEBIE - FREE TURNS ONLY
These games are designed for new players where the highly experienced Pimps are unable to participate. Career points are usually not awarded, reserve turns can not be withdrawn and in game help provides some extra assistance for the new player.

FREE TURNS ONLY
A game open to all Pimps whereby only free turns can be used. No player can withdraw from their reserve. The beauty of this game is that it keeps all Pimps on a level playing field.

LIMITED - X TURNS ONLY
A limited game whereby a Pimp can only withdraw a certain number of turns from your reserve.

UNLIMITED
A totally open game (usually for the more experiences Pimps) where any number of reserve turns can be withdrawn and used.

ROYAL RUMBLE - UNLIMITED
A game similar to the UNLIMITED above except in our royal rumble format. Pimps can join the game up until the rumble start date then from there no one can join the game and then on the kick frequency, the lowest pimp in terms of networth (then assets) is kicked from the game until one pimp is left standing at the end!

ROYAL RUMBLE - LIMITED - X TURNS ONLY

GRUDGE MATCH - FREE TURNS ONLY
An organised game between a minimum of 2 Pimps to settle a grudge! For more information on how to arrange a grudge match click here.

Turns
Turns are what you need to perform actions such as scouting hoes and attacking other Pimps. Turns trickle in every 10 minutes. The exact amount changes with each game. You can accumulate turns up to a maximum amount, which is game dependant. When you join a game, free turns may be credited to your game turns. Reserve turns are credited when you win them or you buy turns. They are secure and are useable in any non-free game.

Hoes
Hoes are your cash makers. No hoes equals no cash so keep your bitches in line and happy. These biatches are junkies, so keep em loaded with smack from the dealer. Take a visit every now and then to the pharmacy to stock up on condoms and medication to keep your hoes disease free. Your clientele will take every opportunity to rip your hoes off so maintain your thugs to keep them in line. Take care of your hoes otherwise they'll be ripe for the picking. If they get out of line apply some discipline!

Scouting
Send your hoes out regularly to work the streets in your city and they will make you a stash of cash. You may even recruit more hoes and thugs whilst pimping your hood. Be careful, don't keep your people happy, and they'll leave your ass for greener pastures.

Hoe Payout
This is the percentage of earnings each hoe keeps after a hard night on the streets. When set to 1%, you unashamedly take most of the profits, when set to 99% you are robbing yourself of cold hard cash. Juggle this figure to keep your hoes happy when your low in supplies!

Thugs
Thugs are your muscles! They protect you, your stash and your hoes. If you want any chance in battle, equip your thugs with the best weapons you can afford from the gun mart. Be weary though, they are very particular about their weapon choice. Keep your thugs boozed up with liquor from the dealer. Your thugs need to get around, so make sure you buy lowriders from the car yard. Thugs can be recruited whilst scouting or hired from the gun mart.

Attacking
Need to take down a pimp? Invade his hood and attack him in the middle of the night or perhaps muster your thugs and bust a few caps in a drive by shooting. Steal his thugs with liquor and lure his hoes with smack. Careful though, when you attempt a gank style attack, tread lightly as you may be caught out and end up in a huge battle.

Travel
You can bounce from city to city kicking some ass and taking names on your way. Each city has different scouting privileges. Some you get more hoes, some more cash, and some more thugs. Find one that works best for you. You need to pay for your hoes to fly first class but your thugs make the move in your lowriders. Respect thy hoes and take as many as you can afford or you will find you are unable to travel as you loose the respect of your people. There are daily travel limits so be careful not to corner yourself against a possie of bad ass pimps!

Crews
So all hell has broken loose? You need some backup? You have some pimp wanting your head mounted on his wall? You better get your ass in a crew and quick. Crews will help you and give you backup when it is much needed. Careful though, once you leave a crew or your ass has been turfed out, you will not be welcome back. Get into a crew quick before the crew cut-off date.

Honour your crew by contributing cash made from your hoes which is stored safely into the crew vault. The more cash in the vault and the more pimps in the crew, the more rewards you obtain. Only the most loyal crew members are elegible for a crew vault payout, so you might have to stick around a while.

Numbering System
The numbers in Pimpin tend to get rather big so we have our very own numbering system. For more info check out this thread on our forum:

Pimp Career
As you progress through your games you will earn points which will be awarded for participation, top rankings and awards. What type of reputation do you desire? What will other pimps remember you by? Use the career rankings to scout for crew members or line up your next big hit, the choice is yours.

There are many techniques to the game and many pimps will teach you, some will not. Find one that teaches you in a way you can understand and maybe take you under their wing.

The game rules must be obeyed and that penalties will be imposed by the moderator/administrator at the sole discretion of the moderator/administrator for any contravention of the rules.

If you have questions about how to play the game including strategies please get onto our forum and start a new topic! There will always be a friendly pimp around who can provide you with an answer.
