Attack

By attacking others you can earn extra cash. After a successful attack you get a percentage of the players pocketed cash. Your opponent will also lose health. There is, however, a maximum on the number of attacks you can launch. You can only attack any single player 5 times per 24 hours .

The more bullets you fire, the higher your chances of success are. The opponent will also lose more health this way. There is no 100% guarantee that you will win. 1 thing is for sure though, the higher your strength and rank are, the more chance you have of winning .

There are also drawbacks to an attack. Launching an attack will cost you some strength. Therefore, choose your victims carefully. If you lose an attack that you launched, you will lose health.

Sometimes you will not be able to attack someone. This can be caused by the following things:
- You are protected
- Your victim is protected
- Your victim is on vacation
Murder / death

A possible outcome of an attack is death. If the health of your victim falls to 0, that means you killed him/her. Of course, this works both ways.

If the murdered player had an active auction running, the auction will be terminated and the money returned to the highest bidder.

If you die you will lose the following things:
- All of your cash and bank account money (50% to the player noted in your testament, the remainder is for your murderer)
- Objects in your possession (casinos, hospitals etc.)

If you kill someone? You will receive your victim's entire fortune. However, if the victim mentioned an beneficiary in his testament, that person will inherit 50% of the fortune.

Tip: Store your money in the safe. Even in the event of your death, the money is always there.

While you are dead it's not possible to continue normal active play. You can only log off, buy credits, or revive yourself in the exchange office. Once you've bought a revival you can resume playing.

To keep it fun for everyone, you can't just keep on murdering. After a murder, you must wait 2 hours before you can attack again.
