 ... Welcome to Rutgers's Guide to Idlepimps (Pt. 1) ...

THE BASICS

 Red Section

This is the right-hand section of your main page.  I will go through this from top to bottom:

Log-Out:  This immediately logs you off of idlePimps and brings you back to the log-in page.  Bye bye...so long...

 

Preferences:

 

On the Preferences page you are allowed to change your current password; update your profile (the message/entry that people have when you look at their page... just after the "You Can attack this pimp" and before their stats); see who you are ignoring, who the list of pimps that you added as a friend, and who you added as an enemy; change whether you want to see avatars or not (if you don't know what avatars are...experiment with the button :) ); and upload your avatar.

Produce Crack:  This screen allows you to have your thugs produce crack for you.  Often times it's forgotten about and not profitable.  This is almost never used and i would suggest to skip this feature for now.

 

Turn Tricks:

The Turn Tricks screen allows you to use the turns that you get.  Turning tricks (or "turning" for short) allows you to gain hoes, thugs, and money to purchase supplies and more thugs.  There is an option of turning on 4 different streets in each city and you can choose how many turns you want to use at a time.  Usually there is a limit of how many you're allowed to use at a time, but that may change from round to round.  That box at the bottom is there to let you know how much of each you have.... just in case you run low on condoms, crack, turns, or get attacked...you can tell by the changes in quantity in that box. 

 

Attack Pimp:

Attacking a pimp is another essential part of the game.  There are 4 different types of attacks - each made for to serve different purposes. 

Steal Whores: you can insert how many crack rocks you want to send to a pimp to steal his hoes.  Stealing hoes helps you get more money QUICKER, and allow you to climb the rankings faster.  Unless your target has unhappy hoes, you cannot steal a pimp's hoes if he/she has thugs to protect them.

Home Invasion:  This attack is used to kill a pimp's thugs and/or to steal the money he/she hasn't spent yet. 

Drive By:  With this attack you can't steal money or anything, but with the right amount of rides (usually 1 ride per 4 thugs) it is a more efficient way of killing another pimp's thugs.

Jack rides:  If a pimp has way too many rides for his thugs (surpassing that 1 ride: 4 thugs ratio), you can steal his rides from him.  Use them against him or sell them to get money. 

Send a message: before actually attacking, you can fill in this box to send a little message to your victim.

Enemies OR Pimp ID:  If you have a specific person in mind to attack, you can just insert his/her pimp ID number in the box...or choose from your list of enemies in the drop down box.

 

Travel:

The Travel window allows you to change cities.  Some cities give better payouts (money produced while turning tricks) than others, some cities give you more hoes per turn than others, or you may just want to switch the city you're in for whatever reason.  It tells you how much it will cost you to move and list out the different options you can choose from.  The cities in the game stay pretty consistent, but they have been known to change from time to time (either omitting or adding a city or two). 

 

Pimpin' FAQs:  Gives you different guides on how to pimp, and answers many frequently asked questions to help pimps make their pimphand stronger. 

 

Voting Booth:  If the admins have a specific change for the game in mind, and want to create a voting system to see where pimps stand on a certain question...it is voted on here.

 

Your History:

The History page allows you to see your progress over the past few rounds.  It shows your stats for the round, what rank you finished at in those rounds, and averages the accumulation of all your rounds.  As long as you continue to use the same password when you sign up for the next round, you will aggregate an Idle History.

 

IIdlePics:  This page has random pics of actual people who play idlePimps.  Beware for anyone on page 13 though :P

 

Purchase Turns:

If you just can't wait for the turns that the game gives you every 10 minutes, if you're a bit anxious to pimp and can't because of a lack of turns, you can go to this screen to buy yourself some turns.  Either mail it in (as you can see at the bottom of that screen), or purchase turns through paypal by clicking on the "Buy Now" button.   This screen also allows you to purchase turns for other people as well.  Turns are $5.00 for every 250 turns (which would normally take you about 8.3 hours to get).

 

Sports Book:

A fairly new addition to the world of idlePimps...it allows pimps to bet on sporting events.

 

Find Pimp :  Insert part of a pimp's name or their pimp ID, and this feature will take you to that pimp's page (or a list of pimps that match your criteria).
