Government House

Office Worker: "You seem list youngster, where do you want to go?"

On HoboWars, the Government House aggregates core information on gameplay & the community. Within its location are six different areas. On all other versions, the Government House is referred to as City Hall & CSP Office; it has a different function but the areas are the same.

City Leaders

"Many citizens do not know who is actually staff so we have put together a list of all the current staff who have helped and are helping to carve HoboWars into a fun place to be."

--Office Worker

The City Leaders is just a fancy name for Game Staff. It lists all the current staff and what positions they are in.

Voting Booth

"Please go take a seat over there and fill in the card."

--Office Worker

This is where you vote on the current poll. Usually these polls are used to simply determine interest in particular matters. What you cast your vote for is shown on your profile.

Citizen List

"Please go use one of our top of the range Celeron 486Mhz computers to find your long lost brother. All our systems have Windows 3.1 which gives you access to search through the 188,293 hobos in the city to find the one you are looking for. If you sometimes get a scary blue screen saying some crap about the system is unstable, please just hit enter and continue to search."

--Office Worker

This is a search engine that allows you to specify things to search for.

You can specify the name order, what level, which side, if they're alive and gender. There IS a 30 match limit. If there are more than 30, they will come up with the results depending on the ordering criteria you selected.

City Statistics

"We analize the citizens in the town every hour and put the information into some easy to read statistics."

--Office Worker

This just shows you the statistics of HoboWars. It shows you Financial, Member and Misc statistics and the 10 Newest Hobo's.

City Hall & CSP Office

The City Hall & CSP Office is exclusive feature of HoboWars2, Facebook HoboWars and HoboArena. It replaces the Government House of the HoboWars.

"Government Worker: The CSP is designed to put hobos to work when they would otherwise be doing nothing. It only applies when your awake bar is completely full. Basically, there's a chance you'll be called upon to do some kind of work in service of the City, for which you will be rewarded with Food Stamps and possibly other goodies.

[hoboname]: What's the catch?

Government Worker: In order to do any work, you will of course have to be alive. So, the city will pay for you to be completely healed any time you are called upon for Community Service."

--CSP Office

How CSP works

The goal to the CSP is to earn Food Stamps to buy items from the In-N-Out. You must be unconscious, and have a half bar of T in order to be healed by the CSP and earn a reward. A food stamp is not always guaranteed when rewarded, but is the most common.
