Getting married is a fun little thing you can do in HoboWars. It is strictly for social purposes since there are no direct in-game benefits associated with it.
The Marriage Process
The marriage process consists of three simple steps: the ring, the proposal, and the wait.
The Ring
Obviously you cannot propose to someone without a ring, so you will need to head over to the Toy Store and buy one.
Any of the five basic rings can be used for a marriage proposal. However, if you also want to use the ring in hobo fights, it is recommended that you save up until you can buy the Gold Ring with Diamond since it gives you the highest stat bonuses of the five basic rings. Unlike most items, rings can only be purchased with points.
The Proposal
After you have secured a ring, the next step in the marriage process is to propose to the hobo you want to marry.
- Rules of Proposing
- You must have a ring in order to propose to someone.
- You cannot propose to anyone if you are already married. (You don't have the option to do so anyway.)
- You cannot propose to yourself.
- You can only propose to one hobo at a time.
First, go to your Living Area (then click on the Show More Info link near the middle of the page if you hobo is displayed in your Living Area) and click on the [Propose] link next to the Spouse: Nobody list item.
|
After clicking on the [Propose] link, you will be taken to the Propose to Hobo page.
|
Simply type in the Hobo ID of the hobo you want to propose to and click the Find Hobo button.
You will be taken to another page listing the name of the hobo you are proposing to and another [Propose] link.
|
This [Propose] link is the real thing this time. If you are absolutely certain that you want to propose to that hobo, go ahead and click the [Propose] link and a proposal notification will be sent to their Living Area.
|
If for some reason you want to cancel a proposal, go back to your Living Area (then click on the Show More Info link near the middle of the page if you hobo is displayed in your Living Area) and click on the [Cancel] link next to the Married to: Proposed to (Hobo's Name) list item.
The Wait
If the hobo you proposed to accepts the proposal, you two become married!
If the hobo you proposed to denies the proposal, you will have to find someone else to propose to and try again.
Divorce
Perhaps after being married for a while you decide it's best to end the marriage. Maybe your spouse has gone inactive and you want some new companionship, or maybe some hot young thing has caught your eye and you want to dump the old hag you are married to. No problem!
Divorcing your spouse is a very simple process, however it will set you back 10 points. If you do not have 10 points, you cannot get divorced.
Go to your spouse's Living Area and click on the [• Divorce] list item located above their Citizen Information section. You will then be directed to a confirmation screen. If you have the points and are absolutely certain that you want to go ahead with it, click the confirmation button to continue.
Marriage dissolved, simple as that.
FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions regarding marriage in HoboWars:
Q: Does proposing make my ring disappear?
A: No, it does not.
Q: Does being married affect how my ring works?
A: No, it does not. You also do not need to be married in order for your ring to work.
Q: Can I propose to more than one hobo?
A: Yes, but you will have to cancel any outstanding proposal before you can send another one.
Q: Can I marry more than one hobo?
A: No, you can't. You can only marry one hobo. If you want to marry someone else, you will have to get a divorce first.
Q: Can I propose to and marry a hobo that is the same sex as my hobo?
A: Yes. Same-sex marriages are allowed in HoboWars.
Q: Where can I advertise my desire to get married?
A: There is a stickied thread on the General Discussion Board called the Marriage Thread where you can do that.
Q: Is there any reason to get married in HoboWars?
A: Not really. Most people do it just for the hell of it.
Q: I have a suggestion regarding marriage. Where do I post it?
A: All suggestions belong on the Suggestion Board. However, be sure to take a look at the Suggestion Board's Blacklist before you post any kind of suggestion.
