Welcome to the game of Bordello! by T&J Software!

Basically, you are running your own whore house and fighting against other
players to attain the most profitable house by the end of the month
(or past the end of the month depending upon how your SysOp has the
door configured)! You can search for whores to work in your house (you
may only have 10 at any one time), hire thugs to fight other players
and to help protect your house, and many other features you will soon
become very familiar with!

Your sysop sets a fixed number of what we call "game days". Let's assume
your sysop has it set for 30. This means you may open your house for
business 30 times during all your plays for that day. You do this by
selecting "N" for next day. The amount of money made depends upon each of
your whore statistics and your house level. The higher your house level,
the more money your girls will make. Be warned, if a particular
whore has a disease, her money earned will only be half normal!

As your hitting the NEXT DAY option and upgrading your whore house, be
warned that the police may bust your house if you haven't payed them
off enough money! And, if you don't have enough money to pay the fine,
and your house level is greater than one, you will LOSE a level! Also,
as of v1.50+, if you are busted by the police there is a strong
possibility that you may have THUGS and WHORES arrested!!

When attacking other players using the covert actions, first view the
top ten players using the "V" command from the main menu, then select
"T" for TOP TEN. This will let you know who the current top players are!
The top ten are adjusted after each attack and everytime you view it!
Watch yourself move up and down as you play!

The top scores are determined using the following formula listed below.
Your overall score, or networth, is determined like this:

     CASH + (HOUSE LEVEL AMOUNT) + (BANKED MONEY)

     HOUSE LEVEL AMOUNT= the combined total you've spent to
     upgrade your house. Let's say your house level is 4, the
     value of HOUSE LEVEL AMOUNT= $30,000

     $5,000 to go to Level 2+
     $10,000 to go to Level 3+
     $15,000 to go to Level 4=  $30,000

This should help those diligent players who have played all month long
building there house level!

On the main menu, you are presented with all the vital statistics you
need including: cash, condoms, networth, police payoff amount, etc.

Bordello resets with the first player of the new month (unless your
sysop has the monthly reset turned off). The object of the game is
simple, end the month with a higher networth than your opponents!

Let's start off by going over the MAIN MENU commands:

A-  ADJUST PHRASE: Changes the phrase you say to other players after
    a successful covert action! This will be blinking if no phrase
    has been selected.

B-  BUY CONDOMS:  You may buy condoms in various lot sizes for your
    girls to give to the guys during the NEXT DAY option. If your girls
    run out of condoms, there is a percent chance they will contract
    a disease. If they contract a disease, they will make less money
    during the NEXT DAY option. Disease can be cured by the DOCTOR
    (see the DOCTOR description below). Condom prices vary on a daily
    basis!

C-  COVERT ACTIONS:  Covert actions will be described in detail below.

D-  DOCTOR:  Use the doctor to check your girls periodically! If you
    run out of condoms your girls can contract diseases. Other players
    can send thugs to infect your girls also! Read your MESSAGE file
    regularly to see if other players have done this! The doctor will
    charge a flat fee just to examine the girls, then, a screen will
    come up listing your girls. A 'Y' in the disease column will confirm
    that the girl has a disease. It will cost you 10% of the girls
    total income to heal her.

E-  ENTER BANK:  You may deposit money into the bank up to the limit the
    sysop establishes. This money is not touchable by other human
    players. You may also deposit game days and covert actions (up to the
    amount the sysop has set). NOTE: The bank may be disabled depending
    on your sysop's configuration of the game. An add on program called
    BORDINT may also be used if your sysop wants to us it. This is the
    Bordello Interest Calculator, it will give you interest on your
    banked money. The percentage interest is determined by your sysop.

F-  FIND WHORE:  Use this option when you have less than 10 girls in your
    house. You may only find 3 girls per play! You will show up in a bar
    type setting and are offered two choices: either LOOK for a girl or
    go back to the MAIN menu. When you choose LOOK, a girls statistics
    will be presented to you. You may either LET her go or KEEP her. No
    matter what you choose, you lose one pickup for the that particular
    play. Remember, you only get three! If you choose KEEP, she is added
    to your whore house. You may always DUMP a girl in the WHORE INFO
    section.

G-  GET THUGS:  Thugs are used to protect your whore house from other
    players and to attack other players! Thugs cost $100 x HOUSE LEVEL
    apiece. Try to keep as many of these guys around as possible!

H-  HELP:  Brings up this help file.

L-  LOW/HIGH GAMBLING:  Low/High Gambling is another way for you to
    make some extra money (or lose some). This option may be disabled
    depending on your sysop's configuration. Gambling is disabled in
    the unregistered version. The computer gives you a number from
    1 to 10, you must decide if the next number will be higher or lower.
    If the numbers are equal, you will lose double.

M-  MESSAGE AREA:  Use the message area to leave messages to other
    players and to read your messages. Every time a player performs a
    COVERT action against you, a note will be added to your message
    file telling you who did it and what they did! You may also KILL
    your message file after reading it.

    As of v1.2 a new feature has been added -- the grafitti wall. You
    may enter messages on it for all to read! The grafitti wall is washed
    off every 14 days.

N-  NEXT DAY:  This is where you open your doors for business! Each of
    your whores will earn so much money based upon their looks, breast
    size, disease, and your whore house level. The higher these stat-
    istics, the more they will make. Remember, if any of your girls run
    out of condoms, they can get a disease (there is a 5% chance for each
    girl without a condom). Also, this is where the police could come and
    bust your operation if you haven't paid them off enough! One BIG
    NOTE here -- if you don't have enough money to pay the police fine,
    you are out of the game and have to start over again!!

    As of v1.40, if your sysop has the TOP PIMP option enabled, a percentage
    of all money made will go to the TOP PIMP (the #1 players).

P-  PAYOFF POLICE:  This is where you can payoff the police to try and
    get them to leave you alone! The more you pay the better the chance
    they will leave you alone. Every time you UPGRADE your whore house
    a level, the payoff amount is set back to ZERO! We won't tell you
    what the KEY amount of money is, but it increases for each house level
    you have! The police payoff amount for each house level varies on
    a monthly basis (just to make things interesting). EXAMPLE: Let's
    say the police payoff amount is $800. That means $800 per house level
    you have, thus, at house level 10, you would have to pay $8,000.

Q-  QUIT GAME: Quit the game.

S-  START OVER:  If you feel like you are doing very poorly, you can
    always use this option to start again! You must keep the same ALIAS
    name however. If you select START OVER you are finished until the
    next day!

T-  TRANSFER MONEY:  With this option, you may transfer funds from
    your cash and give it to another player. Helpful for team play!
    This may be disabled by your sysop.

U-  UPGRADE WHORE HOUSE:  Your whore house starts out at level ONE and
    goes up to level ?!@# -- this version has no set MAXIMUM level
    that you can attain! The higher the house level, the more money
    your girls will make. Going to the next house level will vary
    according to the level you are coming from. It's not wasted money
    since the money you spend now counts towards your NETWORTH!!

V-  VIEW HIGH SCORE: You are then presented with either viewing the
    all time high scores, top ten, who's online, or all players
    broken down by name, networth, and houselevel.

W-  WHORE INFORMATION:  Use this option to view your whore statistics!
    From this menu you may choose to DROP a whore if you wish. In order
    to DROP a whore you will have to pay her to leave.

    v1.50: You may now also buy whores that were arrested from this
    menu. This may be turned off by your sysop.

X-  EXPERT MENU: Use this option to use and EXPERT main menu. This should
    help speed up play with 2400 baud users!


                              COVERT ACTIONS

In the COVERT actions menu you will have the following options:

1-  Steal money from another player.
2-  Steal a whore from another player.
3-  Sabotage another players whore house.
4-  Pillage another players girls.
5-  Spy on another player.

You MUST have some thugs to perform any of these options! If the opposing
player has more thugs than you, a fight ensues! (see the FIGHT section).
If the opposing player has fewer thugs than you, there will only be a
percent chance of his thugs fighting yours. If you successfully steal
money from another player, it's added to your cash and deducted from
his, etc... (this is after you break the combination!!)

Sabotaging a persons whore house will deduct level(s) from it (if it's
greater than level ONE). There is only a percent chance that you will
manage to do this. Pillaging another players girls will infect them with
a disease!

In order to steal a girl from another player, you MUST have a vacant
slot in your whore house!

Spying on another player will reveal information about him that you
may find useful!

                               FIGHTING

In some cases, you must fight the other players thugs in order to perform
your covert action! If the fight menu comes up you'll see the following
information and options:

You may choose to ATTACK or RETREAT.

You will see your THUGS left and power left and your opponents. If you
select A for ATTACK, a random number is generated for each player. If this
random number is LOWER than your power, you score a HIT! The same works
for your opponent. Each successful HIT will deduct from 1 to 10 points
of power from the other player.

For every 10 points of power lost, one thug is killed in the fight.
This works for both you and your opponent!

Once the power of either player goes to ZERO the fight is over and you
reap the benefits of the attack!

As of v1.2, the opponents thugs are regenerated after fighting (as long
as he has money to pay for them and as long as the sysop has this
option turned on.)

That's about it, we hope you enjoy the game!  If you have comments or
suggestions for future upgrades to this door, please get in touch with
us! We've tried to include most options which you, the end users,
wanted to see!
