A) Rules:
1. Never have RELATIONS. Only exception is your Leader,
2. Never have even RED relations,
3. Use your OWN Nightclub,
4. Never give your Nightclub name to anyone and change it every while (like every 1 week),
5. No 1v1,
6. Don't ever join a gang assault if no one told u to join,
7. Don't plan random gang assaults,
8. Don't plan gang assault if u doesn't have experience on that. High Command will appoint people who are allowed to plan gang assaults. If you are not appointed then you are not allowed to do so,
9. Finally obey the rules and your leaders will reach us to be the best gang.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

B) Explanation:
1. So we wont be gang assaulted, and the leader can invite u back whatever happens (Coz he has your relation),
2. So we won't be gang assaulted,
3. To avoid any random red relations that may cause gang assaults,
4. Some people know your nightclub name and will wait you there to get your red relation and gang assault you,
5. Some people betray in 1v1 and accept your relation and quick set a gang assault on u while u think it is just 1v1 so you will cause our death,
6. Sometimes we plan a gang assault need exact str to wound the target gang (Milk Gang), so if u joined u might get the target gang killed and then we lose good chance for skills,
7. If u gang assault someone in a stronger gang we will die and lose so much skills and Dissolving the gang, some ppl join small members in big gangs to get relations from raves with no suspect, so if no relations so no randoms (If it is a must. u should leave the gang and do it, then back again),
8. Gang assault need calculation for success, this need experience to wound gangs and get best skills (Milk The Gang), coz kill is useless unless for revenge.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

C) Notes:
1. Some times another gang makes a credit spy on us so they know the members and the start sending relations to everyone in the gang, so NEVER EVER EVER accept relations,

2. if you are not able to do a gang robbery and saw it set, wait for people who can cover you 1st then join and don't do the score till they are in (we will tell u who can Cover and cover for what)

3. if we started a plan on creating junkies and said every one create junkies u MUST create or else you wont get skills with us, because when everyone make junkies we all will get most skills, so no excuses

4. You have to join gang chat room so we can contact you easily

5. If the leader told you something to do, and u didn't obey, u may cause fail for a leader plan so we will kill you or at least kick you from the gang

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

D) How to start the game:
When you start new account

1. buy weapon with your money so you start with higher level crime then play on single crimes (do your level crime, finish stamina,rave, your level crime, ...) You must follow the Formula for no jail.
2. once you get the FOREX skills, start on it by (1 forex and 2 single crime)
3. once you get the bank skills, start on it by (,2 bank and 1 single crime)
4. once you get money for sniper buy it, once you get money for NOMEX armour buy it (prefer to buy both at one time, so u will get max power = 410, and do your single crimes using the Formula so you will earn big skills)
5. do singles till you start get normal skills then play on value transport
6. earn big money and buy some INTEL, that will get your power higher, and do by same time some singles
7. when you reach federal reserve (FBI) level play as much as you can in gang robbery - FBI - and once you have much money to buy about 500-1000 str, do it then start Gang Assaults that will raise your power without buying skills and losing respect, and your money buy with it INTEL and factories and full hookers stuff

� best factories is the higher price (heroine) or the previous price (Opium, cocaine, amphetamine)
� never do a crime (single or gang) without using the formula, if you don't have power don't do it (unless you will be jailed) or if there is someone covering you then its ok
� how to know power needed in gang robbery: see how many members needed, and how much power needed from every member then do a multiply (EX : members needed 7, difficulty needed 2000 so all members who will join must have total � 7 x 2000 � 14000 power (Steven Seagull)
� always buy the next ship drug and sell it for the ship, even if it was low drug like weed, you will earn respect don't waste them and start this investing on drugs after the federal level or when you have much money (best time to buy the drug once the ship comes to the docks)
� always buy heroine when it is low price (30% risk)
� Formulas :
o [ (tol / 2) + str + intel ] / 3 + [ weapon damage x weapon accuracy / 10 ] + armour tol
o [ intel + str + tol + (weapon damage x weapon accuracy / 10) + armour tol ] / 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

E) Gang Assault:

General idea of gang assault is:

Two gangs fighting <> and <>

o If the attacker have more str than the defender tol <>
o If the attacker have more and double of the defender tol <>
o If wound you will get much skills than if you killed them so try not to across the double
o But if the attacker have lower str than the defender tol <>
o But if the attacker have str half or less than defender tol <>
How to calculate str needed to wound the other gang :

First calculate the target gang tol then add each member can have armour tol (EX : gang with 50 member, each member is about 2000 respect and gang total respect is 120.000, so :
120.000 x 1 or 0.9 or 0.8 or 0.7 so you get total gang tol
Then 50 member x 300 (nomex armour tol)
Then u adds total gang tol + total gang armours
Now u have the str that u must be over it
Don't double it or you will kill the victims, you just want to keep wound them to get most skills (Milk gang)

((((((((you multiply total gang respect x 1 or 0.9 or 0.8 or 0.7))))))))

That's depends how strong is this gang, if weak you chose 0.7 strong 1
That's u must figure

o If you are using a spy (best) put it in a rave so you get fast relations to plan on it (better than keep adding yourself and accepting)
o Some rounds if you invited the spy to your gang the target gang wont receive report that they have been attacked (stealth attack)

Title: TheCrims Begginers Guide
Author: Parris

Intro:
Welcome to parris's FAQ for The Crims online game. There are a few URL's as you probably already know www.thecrims.com, www2.thecrims.com and www3.thecrims.com are all links that work and that I've tried. I've decided to make this FAQ because there isn't really very much info provided by the makers of the game and I'll be adding things as I learn them. The Crims is a multi-country online crime simulator.
The people who play are from all over the Earth, and you'll often notice that things appear to be written in jibberish, but it's probably just a different language. If you haven't started playing the game yet you might think "great another lame dopewars game." Well, the drugs actually don't play as big of a role as you'd think. Because of the way the game is set up, it is kind of difficult to play for more than 20 minutes at a time without waiting an hour to gain the "stanima" to continue on playing, for this reason it's the perfect game if you're an addictive gamer, but with a limited amount of time to game.

(1.0) Stamina:
Pretty much every time you do something you loose stanima, commiting a robber takes a know amount of stanama, the game tells you before you perform the robbery. Other things cause you to lose stanima also, collecting hooker money, assultying somebody and sabotaging somebody. You start with 100 stanama, and loose it really rapidly. This is why the game can be really addicting, but not super time consuming. The only ways to regain stanima is to wait (real time) or goto a rave or night club and buy drugs.For a robbery, I've noticed that you need about 5 points greater than you lowest stat to perform a robbery. i.e. robbing 7-eleven takes about 100 intellegence, dont bother robbing it until your worst stat is at least 105. I spend a real-life game about not able to lay since I was stuck in jail.
(Hint, to get the cheapest drugs, buy a night club and visit it to pay yourself for the drugs you purchased.)

(1.1) Stats:
Stats are very important, even thought this is a linked based game, that at first glance seems like a glorified dope wars, it isnt, it's more of a real-time online RPG. Stats come in hand while performing robberys, sabotages and assaults. Stats like intellegence also increase the number of hookers and buildings you can handle.

(1.2) Respect:
Respect is supposed to be the deciding factor on how assaults, robberys, and sabotages is handeled. Even though I believe you other stats are really important, the website claims that respect is the biggest factor.

(2.0) Assault:
Assault takes a lot of stanama (55%) and doesnt get you huge stat points. In fact, unless you're a really high player, it's almost a bad idea, unless you've just bought a sweet gun and joined a cool gang. I've made a couple assaults and have gained about 2.0 stats on each attribute for it. I could have robbed at least 3 7-11's for that stanama cost, made money and gained the same amount of stats (actually, more so). You win the fight if your strength is higher than your victems tolerance, you kill them if it's double.

(2.1.0) Robbery:
Robbery is pretty self explainatory. You pick your target from the drop down list and attempt to rob it. I've found the randomness of robbery is pretty nil. Wait until you have 5+ of your lowest stat higer than what the robbery difficulty is and you'll get a success. I've tried 2+ on my lowest stat and went to jail once for 24 hours. Robbery is the best way for a beginner to get respect, stats, and cash. Just work your way up, like any RPG. The algorithm for whether or not you'll succeed a robbery is public knowledge from The Crims. Goto http://support.thecrims.com/index.php?cmd=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&id=5 for the algorithm or goto http://calc.tk/ for a calculator.

(2.1.1) Gang Robbery:
Gang Robbery is the same as regular robber only you need to be in a gang, more than one person has to participate, and EVERYBODY needs their stats high enough to pull off the heist. If a gang robbery has 200 difficulty, requires 2 people, and on person has 25,000 on every stat and the other person has 100 on every stat, the robbery will fail.
VT robbery costs 30% stanima

(2.2) Sabotage:
To be explained.

(2.3) Hookers:
I have never purchased a hooker, the way I usually aquire them is from going to $0-$10 raves looking for cheap drugs to increas my stamina. They'll eventually just appear. You can only have a certain amount according to your intellegence (?) stat, and get extra buy purchasing a whore house. To collect your daily earnings from them, click on the hookers box, scroll to the bottom and collect the money you're hookers have made. Note: this uses stanima. Hookers seem to pay out at around 02:00 and take 3% stanima to collect from. It's actually good practice to not collect money from your hookers at every chance you get. The more often you collect from them, the greater chance they'll leave you or die.

(2.4) Arms Dealer:
You can not be attacked unless your respect is over 100, I recommend joining a big n00b gang and getting some weapons before you hit the 100 respect level. There are tons of people on the game that scout out people with low but attackable respect, and a gun + body armor + security can really help you win those battles. Make sur to activate the weapon you buy.

(2.5) Drug Dealer:
The drug dealer isn't a usefull page until you own a night club or rave. Those two places are the only places you can buy drugs, which in turn increase your stanima. As the game goes on, the drugs increas your stanima by less and less, you can visit the Hospital to "detox," which means you're tolerance to any particular drugs goes back to 0. I'd perfer saving you're hard earned cash and buying a building like a brewery to replenish your drugs with out buying them. The other trouble with the Drug Dealer page is that you are about 1 in 10,000 watching the page, so even if somebody says they're selling 100 of a certain drug, by the time you click on it they've sold out.

(2.6) Buildings:
Buildings are like drug dealers, only you pay huge up front and all of the drugs produced goto you, and you only. If you've got a nightclub or rave, that is where you sell them. BONUS, you can goto your own rave/nightclub and purchase your own drugs to regain stanima, so the drugs you buy are at whatever you charge, which you'll be paying youself. Buildings seem to produce their units/day at the beginning of each game day (0:00). Keep in mind that if you can't pay your rent, your buildings won't produce anything.

(2.7) Establish a Solid Connection:
At first you'd think that a game involving organized crime would imply that you need to make solid connections with everybody. This, on the other hand is a bad idea. Establishing a solid connection with somebody is more like asking them to attack/kill you. I've learned the hard way that you should only try to establish a solid connection with another player if you know them or (for whatever reason) trust them. The whole point of establishing a solid connection is so that you can invite them to join your gang, or vice versa. Also, I think there is a bug in the game where somebody can cheat kill you if you try to establish a solid connection with them.

(3.0) Rave Party:
Visiting a rave party essentially has 3 purposes. First, if you're low on stanima, you can goto a rave and hope that they're selling drugs. The more drugs you buy from a rave the higher your stanima increases. You can overdose, landing you in the hospital and barring you from playing for about 3 game days (18 hours). I usually take no more than 20 units of any particular drug and never overdose. Another reason for visiting a rave is to meet hookers, it's rare, but occasionally when you visit a rave you'll aquire a hooker for free. Hookers give you money each game day and their only downside is you can't have an infinite amount of them. Lastly, you can goto a rave to meet other players. If you're in the mood to assault, sabotage, establish a solid connection, or recruit somebody into your gang, you have to meet people, raves are a good place to do that. If at the bottom it shows that you aren't the only person there, the other people that you've "raved with" will be added to the list of people you can perform the previousally stated actions on. To enter a rave you need tickets, you get a limited amount of tickets each day, but you get so many that it's tough to run out.

(3.1) Night Club:
As far as I can tell, night clubs are the same as raves, they're useful because if you're already at a rave you can't click the "Rave Party" button to goto a different rave (the rave you're at will just be refreshed), but you can click on night club and goto a club.

(3.2) Businesses:
The two businesses you can run are Rave Parties and Night Clubs, Rave Parties cost a lot more, but you can fit 100 people a day, nightclubs fit only 25 people a day. Nightclubs also limit the amount of different drugs you can sell to 3. These businesses are where you can sell any of the drugs you've purchased from a dealer or produced from a building. After buying a business you can set the entrance fee and set the price you want to sell your drugs for (always -/+ %50 of purchase price). I like to sell my drugs for the max price, and it seems like everybody else does too, so when setting the price just type in $500 and it will sell your drug for the max price (since heroin is the most expensive an its max cost is $333). You don't have to collect money you've earned from your businesses, it automatically goes into your pocket.

(3.3) The Docks:
There never seems to be a boat at the docks and I dont really know what you'd do if there was actually one there. I'm pretty sure this is just a "Please buy credits" page.

(3.4) The Square:
The square is where you can talk to people, you can also click on their name and establish a solid connection with them. I usually don't visit the square because the conversation usually looks something like this:

• [28 15:12] wot!!!???
  
• [28 15:13] I need a gang.
  
• [28 15:14] u wanna join maz?
  
• [28 15:14] nounyy enty henaa
  
• [28 15:14] nounyy enty henaa??
  
• [28 15:15] I need to join a gang.
  
• [28 15:18] Can I join someone's gang?
  

(3.5) Casino:
Here you can gamble via lottery for credits (see intro, I'm not going to bother with them), or play blackjack. However, I feel like the blackjack game is rigged in the games favor, I only usually win about 1/12 hands. Just avoid it, really.

(3.7) Hospital:
The hospital has a few uses, one of them being detoxing. When you use drugs at nightclubs or raves to regain stanima you begin to gain tolerance, meaning the stanima you gain decreases the more you use drugs. Detoxing resets your stanima gain to these stats per unit:

• Painkillers = 1%
  
• Booze = 2%
  
• Weed = 1%
  
• Shooms = 2%
  
• LSD = 3%
  
• Ecstasy = 4%
  
• Amphetamine = 5%
  
• Opium = 6%
  
• Cocaine = 7%
  
• Heroin = 8%
  

NOTE: When you buy strength, it takes away from your intellegence, 2 strength loses 1 intellegence.

(3.8) The Bank:
I usually deposit most of my money into the bank when I'm finished playing. It pays 2% interest and even though it takes 3% stanima to deposit money, it doesn't take any stanima to withdraw, so you won't be wasting stanima starting a new game session and getting your money.
Make sure you leave enough money out of your account to pay your daily fee's for your buildings and businesses though.

(3.9) Prison:
Prison is where you go if you get caught performing a robbery. You usually go for 4 game days (1 real day) and you can do limited things while in prison.
It's about 500 * respect to bribe your way out of jail... round up.

(4.0) Robbery Stats:
(4.0.1) 7-11: Money collected: somewhere in the area of 500-1500, I'm pretty sure I've seen higher and lower.

(4.1) Spirit:
Spirit represents how fast your stanima increases while remaining idle. Taking drugs and pulling off successful endevors keeps your spirit very high.

(5.0) Where to Go for More Info
In one of the panels on the right hand side of the window there is a list of links in a box titled "System." The support link is actually a link to a message board that is divided up into different languages. It's fun to browse when you're waiting for stanima to rebuild.
