Before you get started you must first learn the basics, and for that, my friend, you came to the right place. 

(Be sure to visit the other FAQ's pages as well for other unique methods at learning how to be a good pimp.)

Welcome to Idlepimps - An Online Pimp Adventure:  Idlepimps is a totally free text-based game! Here you can build your own pimping empire, invite your friends into your gang, or wipe them out with a variety of attacks!  This is perhaps the best text-based game you will ever play.  It's filled with fun, it's strategy, it's fast-paced, and it's an online community comprised of people from all over the world.  Play the game and learn the basics, and you will find yourself hooked !!  Chat with other people and pimp with/against them, and you will find yourself entertained.  Idlepimps is separated into rounds - beginning at the start of every month, and finishing at the end of that month.  So, next month it resets this way  you can start off fresh from the beginning and reclaim your spot as the top PIMP. 

* First and foremost, know the RULES of the game before you play.  We wouldn't want to get temporarily or PERMANENTLY banned from one of the greatest games on the web, now would we?

NOW LET'S GET STARTED : THE BASICS

* This is the first screen you see once you have read the rules and completed the Sign-up and Log-In process.  I will divide the main screen into three different sections and go through each from top to bottom so that you can have a visual of what is being explained.  This will make it fairly easy to follow along since you can always look back to the picture to see exactly what is being referenced.  Each section is indicated by a different color arrow (yellow being the first section discussed, green being the second, and red being the third).  For starters, I know that this screen may seem a bit confusing; however, I will help explain everything to give you a better understanding of what exactly you're looking at and its importance in the game.

At the bottom of every screen you will see a date, clock, and idle's birthdate (2001) : ...on this guide it looks like this, but in reality idle works on Central Standard Time (CST - U.S.A)

Huh?  What does that mean? Don't be left out .... Click HERE to become familiar with the Idle Lingo!
