When you first create your hobo on HoboWars, you are randomly put on a side. The available sides are East, South, and West. The North side is reserved for the administrators of the game. Sides only have two purposes in the game and these purposes are very closely intertwined.
Contents
Introduction
- When you go to attack a hobo, you may notice that their side is listed along with their other information. This is an important thing to consider when attacking. If you attack someone who is from one of the other sides beside your own, then you will receive normal experience when you beat them. If you attack a hobo from your own side, then you will only receive half of the normal experience. This encourages people to attack hobos from other sides, which leads into the next purpose of sides.
Side Wars
- If you go and look at Duncan's house, you will see the three sides listed as well as the number of points that each side has. Farther down the page you will see which hobos on your side have the most and least points. Below this is an indication of the positive or negative number of points that you have for your side. These points are gained when you beat a hobo from another side and are lost when you lose in a fight against a hobo from another side, thus creating positive and negative margins.
- Participation in side wars is optional. To participate, click the link at the top of Duncan's house labeled "Yes, sign me up". This will enter you into that week of side wars and you will being to gain/lose points as noted. There are advantages to not signing up for side wars as well. If you are not registered, fighters looking for fights through Duncan's House will not be able to see you.
- A new addition to the Side Wars at Duncan's House is that you have to sign up every week to be a part of it. If you are not signed up you will not be visible to others who look for fights at Duncan's House and will not receive or lose points as such. Also, if not signed up you will not receive the week end bonus for winning.
Winning Side Wars
- At the end of each week, Sunday, the Side War for the week is ended and everything begins over again. At that time, every Hobo on the winning side with positive points will receive a cash prize and a 100 intelligence bonus. All hobos in the top ten of their side will get a bonus cash prize of $2,000 in addition to the normal reward. The amount of money for winning that is shown when you look at the side totals is how much you would receive if you were the top hobo on your side. This amount is equal to your level multiplied by $500. Keep in mind that you will only receive this money if you have positive side points. If you are far enough in the negative at the end of the week, you'll receive a 50 intelligence penalty for the coming week.
- You can only gain (or lose) two points per hobo you attack per reset. This has made it slightly harder to gain points. Also, the sides are now being kept even so you may not always be accepted right away to join Side Wars.
- An addition made to deter sluts from using Duncan's House for advertising, and keep them from hurting those who want to win, is a new system of voting to ban them from Duncan's House for the week. Once that happens, they won't be able to lose more points and cause a loss at Side War's.
Tags
- During the course of the contest, if you earn (+)100 points for your side or more you will be have "Cpt." tag put before your name. If you earn (+)500 Side Wars points or more, you will get a "Gen." tag placed before your name. Should you have -25 or less you will get a "Loser" tag.
Side Message Board
- You will have access to your side's section of the Message Board. Everyone on your side will also have access to this board. This board rarely contains meaningful or well thought out posts. Post concerning winning side wars are rarely taken into consideration by more experienced players, and are flamed or simply ignored.
Side Swapping
- As of current, the following is not accurate due to a bug. Proceed with caution when using this information.
- Every four weeks the sides are shuffled. This allows people to be move around, meet new people, and adds a balance to Side Wars because its not always the same side winning.
