Now that you understand the basics of how the game works, let's go into how rounds are setup and how to actually play them.

The interface inside of rounds is conveniently broken into sections. The large, main tabs on the left-hand side (Play, Shop, Ranks, and Interact) all have subtabs which contain actions and information relevant to that main tab.

Under the Play Tab you will find all of the ACTIONS you can take in a game. Remember that most of these actions use up resources (crack, weed, condoms) so be sure to keep your eye on your resources and the happiness of your hoes and thugs while performing them.

• Overview: This is where your stats, rank, cash and round settings are all displayed. It is also from this tab that you use your reserves, credits and set your hoe payout.
• Scout: Scouting is a quick way to earn money and to recruit hoes, thugs and informants. Simply select how many turns you'd like to use scouting and click the "scout" button. Your hoes also bring you money back.
• Produce Drugs: Your hoes need crack to stay happy and your thugs need weed. Have your thugs produce crack or grow weed while your hoes go out and earn you money.
• Discipline Hoes: Here is where your thugs perform the unfortunate act of bitch-slapping your hoes. Sure, it's cruel, but it gets them to hand over any money they've been holding back! Select how many turns to use and then click the "discipline" button.
• Hospital: When your hoes get infected with diseases or your thugs get wounded they head to the hospital. Head here to pay their bills and get them fixed up. Be careful though, if you leave them in there too long, they begin to die off!
• Travel: You can only attack pimps that are in the same city as you. If you want to attack a certain pimp or escape a pimp that's beating on you, head here to travel. You should note that you need enough rides to carry your thugs and you need enough cash to cover their travelling costs.
  
  Also note that for 5 minutes after you travel to a new city, not only can you not be attacked by anyone, but you also can not attack anyone else. Use this time to settle in and arm up!

Looking to load up on condoms, medicine, guns and ammo? You've come to the right place buddy.

• Pimp Bank: This is where you go to depost and withdraw funds. One of the benefits of storing money in the bank is that if someone attacks you, they can't get your cash. Premium members earn 2.5% interest on their balances every hour.
• Gun Shack: You need guns not only to keep your thugs happy, but to defend against and attack other players. Head here to buy guns and bullets and to hire more informants and thugs.
• Street Pharmacy: Head here to stock up on your hoe essentials: crack, condoms and medicine. You can also purchase weed for your thugs.
• Deals on Wheels: You need rides to do drivebys and to move your thugs to a new city.
• The Black Market: List your guns, drugs and rides on the black market to get cash. Keep in mind that you don't get the money until someone actually buys your stuff. Once someone buys, the proceeds of the sale will go to your bank.
  
  For buyers, this is a good place to grab up some essentials on the cheap (usually).

If gun and ride selling is on for a round, then you can also sell back your guns and rides for quick cash, otherwise you'll need to list them in the black market and hope someone buys them.

This tab is pretty self-explanatory, and is where you will find out how all the pimps playing the round are ranking:

• City Ranks: This is a listing of the top pimps in your city alone. Remember, the top pimps (or crew in crew rounds) nationally are what counts.
• National Ranks: Similar to City Ranks, except that, obviously, this shows how each pimp is ranked on the national level.
• Crew Ranks: This lists all the crews in the current round and where they rank nationally. In a Crew Round, the top dog here is what matters.
• Pimp Awards: Here's where we dole out special awards to those pimps that excel in certain areas, be it having the most hoes, killing the most thugs, or beating up on other pimps the most.

Just remember to take note of which type of round you are playing. If you're playing a Crew Round, you'll want to be ranked #1 on the Crew Ranks. If you're playing a Battle Round, you'll want to have the most Thug and/or Hoe Kills. All other rounds are based on National Rank.

Here's where you go to, *gasp*, interact with other players:

• Who's Online: You'll find not only a list of online players here, but a form where you can quickly search for any player.
• Crew: If you are in a crew, this is where you pow-wow. You can chat with your crew mates, check group stats, invite/ban (founders and co-founders only) and more.
• Round Chat: This is where you can chat with other players in the current round.
• Global Chat: Chat with other players in all rounds or even just browsing the site.
