Pimpwar Wall of Fame http://wall.pimpwar.com/ This is a discussion forum for the online pimp game, Pimp War, whose players have been recruiting new bitches since 1999. en Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:45:30 GMT vBulletin 1 http://wall.pimpwar.com/fB_Dark/misc/rss.jpg Pimpwar Wall of Fame http://wall.pimpwar.com/ Award all-time leaders, closet leakers and things that go boom in the night http://wall.pimpwar.com/showthread.php?t=12516&goto=newpost Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:13:59 GMT So I witnessed my first carbombing this past week. Was at the bar, having a cheap tallboy (that's a drink, hhic), and all of a sudden there was an blast that rocked the plastic patio siding inwards. We were a block away and protected by a couple of houses but man what a rush (nobody was injured). Turns out somebody is out one $70k Land Rover. Witnesses who we enthusiastically spoke with recalled seeing a man running away from the scene and getting into a car before the blast.

A blonde called it a molotov, but she evidently doesn't know her bombs. I swear the education system is failing more and more each day. These are important things to know, I say.

What's that got to do with the game? Well we are working on some changes to low-riders, how they benefit you and what it takes to steal them. In a little while we'll also allow thugs to blow them up.

Onwards to leakers..you know..the people who set themselves up to be ganked by friends. Anyone who has purposely leaked to give another person an advantage has 10 days to e-mail us and take responsibility for at least slightly fucking up a round. This is all I'll say for now. In the future it will be an automated process but for now all you need to know is we have an extremely smart orangutang named Dermot outfitted with a $24,000 thought-controller headset who is combing through past rounds. If he finds you before you find us it will be bad news all around.

All-time award leaders are listed on the archived game pages and include what percentage of the round they held the awards for. In-game (most games) the awards pages have also been updated to show percentages instead of an arbitrary number of occurrences. This closes out another feedback ticket.

In other news, supporters will soon be able to change the name with which they signed up to a round with before it starts.

Plastic surgery will soon be an option in game in exchange for a small sum of cash and turns. There are many details to work out and we will finesse them in the Supp Jump round. More on this later.

Starting with the upcoming September Supporters round, alliance prizes will be awarded to players regardless of whether they have won a personal ranking prize.

The logic is this: for a crew to qualify for alliance prizes, it must have existed for more than half the round. For crews that qualify, members must also have been in the crew for more than half the round. If you or your crew qualifies, a star will be visible next to your name. Keep in mind even if you qualify early on, if you at any time leave your crew and come back to it, the same restrictions apply. If you join a crew on day 1 out of a 30 day game, and leave/rejoin it on day 25, you won't win an alliance prize even if your alliance buddies do.

We hope this will encourage more competition and less hiding, though the key word is encourage- if you're not looking to win a crew prize, you can still play however you like.

The following screenshots are from the Daily Supp Jump round, where the game resets every 24 hours. If you create or join a crew within 12 hours of the reset you get the star next to your name and would qualify for prizes.

Games may have a restriction on how many days into the game players can join alliances. There may also be a required spending of turns to join an alliance after this time period.

Alliance Ranks page describes what method is used to calculate the ranks.

Pimp Travel requires taking all hoes and all thugs. No more 1 ho per 10 thugs ("keep them happy") rule. Low-riders will still be used and can fit 5 people to a car.

Using Turns: Hoes are less likely to die of lack of condoms and medicine, and those that don't die get sick and make less money. Unhappy hoes and thugs leaving you scale properly, thus when they leave they take more cash and more guns with them, respectively.

Misc. fixes:
  • DEA bust while attempting to steal hoes counts as an attack
  • Bad calculation of thug happiness while scouting or spending turns
  • Store titles

We are also working on adding in Alliance Wars and a Redux Black Market. ]]> Announcements trix http://wall.pimpwar.com/showthread.php?t=12507 1 Me and my friends built a waterslide http://wall.pimpwar.com/showthread.php?t=12506&goto=newpost Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:02:27 GMT http://www.fox17online.com/videobeta...-Slide-7-16-10

While I applaud the attempt to address the issue and think it can be done, this is still in the beta stages and needs a lot more work.

Without going into the specifics, auto scouters use a timer to refresh a page every x seconds. The problem arises when someone jumps in rhythm and does 3-4 spins with less than a second of variance and is flagged as an auto scouter. As anyone with decent experience spinning, as well as irc and in game boards indicate, this is happening a lot.

In reality, this doesnt stop the auto scouter users at all. All they have to do is set their thing to refresh after x-1, x, and x+1 seconds, and boom, no more problem. Now we the real people have to try to purposely jump with different numbers to rectify the problem.

Again, its a good idea, but take it out of the games and run it through some more testing. Legitimate people are being hurt. ]]> Bitchslap Avenue Noch http://wall.pimpwar.com/showthread.php?t=12501 1
