Intro Adventures
The Intro Adventures are a series of tutorial adventures designed to introduce new players to the game.
History
The Intro Adventures were introduced to the game on June 26, 2009.
They were well-received by the HoboWars community.
Story
You are an average employee at WalMart who dreams of becoming a hobo. After your boss catches you exhibiting hobo-like behavior on the job multiple times, he becomes fed up with it and fires your ass. You leave WalMart, dragging a cardboard box from the store behind you. You find an alleyway and decide to take a nap in your cardboard box for a while. Upon waking up, you notice that your cardboard box is gone! All that's left is a note that reads, "I have your box. You ever want to see it again, meet Duncan on the South Side of the City. -The Old Man".
It would seem that your life as a hobo has begun, and probably not in the way you wanted...
Initiation
All new players are forced to go through the Intro Adventures. Therefore, upon creating an account, a new player will automatically be introduced to the Intro Comics and directed to the City.
All players present before the introduction of the Intro Adventures have the option of starting them or opting out of them via a notification in the City. Be warned though... If you choose to opt out of the Intro Adventures, you will never again be presented with the option to start them, so, choose wisely.
Tasks
The Intro Adventures consist of tasks. Completing a task progresses you further through the Intro Adventures.
The First Task
Visit Duncan's House and get some free stuff!
The note the Old Man left you said to visit Duncan's House on the South Side of the City. Therefore, it is probably in your best interest to head on over there.
If you are not already at the City, you should take a moment to look at all of the links on the game's standard page layout. If you are observant, you should find two links to the City—one on the red menu bar near the top of the page, and one on the sidebar near the left side of the page. Clicking either one will send you to the City.
Once you are at the City, take a second to look at its layout. The City has four sides: North, West, East, and South. Fortunately, each side of the City is logically positioned on the page, so, finding the South Side shouldn't be too difficult. Once you have found the South Side, locate Duncan's House and click it.
Upon entering Duncan's House you immediately ask Duncan where your cardboard box is, and he tells you that it was taken by the Old Man, a tough homeless guy who runs the City. Duncan then tells you that you need to prove yourself to the Old Man in order to get your cardboard box back, and proceeds to give you five Donator Days to help you do just that.
Reward:
5 Donator Days
The Second Task
Explore the City and come back with 20 Cans.
Reward:
$400
The Third Task
Buy a weapon from the Toy Store and equip it.
Reward:
None
The Fourth Task

More to come.
