Hope everyone got a chance to check out our very first edition of N Yo Bizniz and hope everyone enjoyed. This is our second edition and we took a poll on the first edition to see what people would like to see in our articles and the majority asked for game strategy and advice. So we have comprised a walkthrough of Vampires Live and Zombies Live. A few tips and hints were added also. We just packed a whole bunch of info in this one hoping that it is useful. There will also be a guide to being a Blood Bar. If wanted we will do a walkthrough of other Storm8 games if we get feedback. (Hope you know where to find us) Also N Yo Bizniz had its very first poetry contest, (not as easy as I thought lots of work, you all need to get to know these wonderful writers); the Topics to choose from were Greed and Endure. After a very long deliberation and being at a standstill, we reached a conclusion that two of the entries for greed were equally great and therefore resulted in a tie. So big congratulations to the winners and a very special thank you to all who entered. (Angel J, Barnabus Collins, King of the Volcano, Lilith, Lion of Judah, Lost Angel, Nicole, Reyna, Sir Loinsteak, The Queen, Truly Heartless Void, and Mib aka CaveBaby) Make sure to keep an eye out because we will have an article with some of the best creative writing soon. Also make sure to check out the poll at the bottem of the page, we collect those for ideas for other editions and feedback is always appreciated. With that being said, hope you enjoy the second edition!
And the Winner is!!!...
Winners for Greed
Tonight I must feed
A powerful lust I beg to need
My whole undead being throbbing of greed
The blood I spill
My body hot with each and every kill
I offer no blood so to no one I kneel
This is mine I share not a drop
Tonight my victim an innocent cop
No never I won’t stop
I feel to good when I take what's not mine
I love to gorge on carnage and fine dine
I won’t stop even if I cross the line
My face covered in blood
My body soaked with mud
I follow a cent lingering like a rose bud
How many will I kill to satisfy me
What will it take to set me free
No its a hopeless thought cause it will never be
Tonight I must feed
A powerful lust I beg to need

Greed
Hungry eyes for something more
Greed
Hungry eyes for something more
A burning yearning in the very core
This instinct for taking cannot be ignored
In these modern times it’s stronger than before
A powerful need unlike any other
What’s possessed is not enough-it always needs another
To fill gaping emptiness and plug the void
A trap that's tricky for selfish minds to avoid
To turn away from temptation and leave it alone
The sin that all must wish to atone
For the pain we have caused by envious deeds
As we all have indulged in our own selfish needs
Such is the all-consuming nature of greed
Greed by King of the Volcano
Winner for Endurance
ENDURE
Holding on by a thread, clinging so tight
Struggling to make it, weak from the fight
Gasping for breath, hope starts to fade
Haunted by dues you've already paid
Then there's a spark, a beacon of hope
Deep inside you realize you'll learn to cope
Blood rushes in, heart resumes its beat
You begin to overcome the impossible feat
Eyes wide open, grab life by the reign
You start to be thankful for what you learned from the pain
Comfort arrives, as does soulful peace
The fear is gone, panic has ceased
Beauty now shines where it was never before
Light fills the darkness, You've learned to endure
Endure by Nicole
Becoming a BB on Vamps Live 101 by Blanket
B |
loodbars also known as ATMs are players who drop most, if not all of their abilities and let others attack for free blood without repercussions. Some keep their looted abs because they're hard to acquire.
There are several different types of bloodbars; 24/7 + Events, Event Only, Special Events etc...
Being a bloodbar, you'll need great income, a plethora of health, plenty of advertising for your events and a solid win/loss ratio.

Being a bloodbar, you'll need great income, a plethora of health, plenty of advertising for your events and a solid win/loss ratio.
It's recommended that you have at least $1mill per level however, more is always better. Keep in mind that occasionally you will need to arm up for wins. Payouts drop when your win/loss ratio is roughly around 16-17% Wins/ (wins + losses) = ratio. Having a lot of health helps you stay alive longer when numerous players are attacking you. I suggest completing the cavern missions as well. They unlock the ambulance which is half the cost of healing. Advertising/broadcasting in advance helps spread the word that you will be online and healing consistently at a specific time. Open signs help your clan to know when you are healing. Closed signs help let your clan know they need to stop attacking.

The Walkthrough by PHP
Vampire Class
Berserker: Regenerates Health Faster
Overlord: Earns Blood Faster
Daywalker: Regenerates Energy Faster
*my suggestion is to choose overlord to build income faster*
Skill Points
Overlord: Earns Blood Faster
Daywalker: Regenerates Energy Faster
*my suggestion is to choose overlord to build income faster*
Skill Points
3 skill points are given each time you level. What you do with them is your choice, however they can be used to increase health (which is good if you want to become a Blood Bar), energy (if you want to complete missions), frenzy (good for giving wins, farming), attack (adding extra advantage to attacking), and defense (add extra advantage to defense). As you can see there are five types of skill, (attack, defense, frenzy, energy, and health each cost 1 skill point, except for frenzy which requires 2). Once skill points are used they cannot be redone (so choose wisely).
*Quick note if you are not planning on becoming a Blood Bar, you might not want to invest those skill points in health, lots of health means more players attacking, more health may be useful in higher levels. (Once again...choose wisely)*
Slaves
Slaves are a source of income in the game. Each slave that you buy adds to your income. Slaves can be sold, but you only get back half for what you paid for them. To stop from adding slaves that may be slow in increasing blood flow, try buying the higher slaves and with what blood is left buying the lower income slaves. This will help with building income.
*One neat thing about buying slaves is that you can buy extra defense to ward off zombie attacks (don't know if there's a limit on them. You have your Grave Digger (no upkeep) which gives +1 defense for each against zombie attacks and your Flesh Hungry Beast (10,000 blood upkeep each) which gives +15 defense for each against zombie attacks. It would be wise to invest in these*
Income (Blood)
Income is how much blood you earn each cycle. (Every 50 minutes or so, depending on the class of vampire you have chosen).
Abilities
There are three categories of abilities; Physical, Sensory, and Transformation. These are used for attacking and defending. Some have upkeep as you increase in level. The best to get if you want your vamp to be the strongest for your level are the abilities with the highest amount of defense and/or attack.
*Remember that each clan member uses 1 ability from each category. So there’s no reason to buy more than what is needed for your level (your level times 5). Also each ability is used automatically. If you do not have the amount of clan for your level, ONLY purchase abs for the few that you have. (I see players at different levels with a thousand of every ability they can possibly afford and for what? Sharp claws won't help in a battle even if you have a million of them. Just saying...)*
Upkeep
Upkeep is required for certain abilities. (Mostly as your level increases and the higher abilities) it is taken from your income each time income is produced (income cycles are mainly every 50 minutes to an hour). Make sure that you have enough income, if not, you will be given a negative blood flow and abilities will be sold until your blood flow is again in the positive.
Missions
Missions help to gain experience, blood, and to also level. Missions require energy, clan size, certain abilities and levels. To access unlocked missions, level increases are required.
*Just some friendly advice, do not be so quick in leveling, build your income so that you may be able to afford the best abilities (Upkeep is overpriced in higher levels), make sure that you will be able to afford what you may need*
Fighting
Fighting other players can help you gain either experience or blood. This is also the same for them attacking you, so remember to keep health low if you have blood out. I do not advise banking money but that is to your choosing. (Banking money takes 10% to deposit, it’s less blood taken to actually be attacked). To attack or be attacked you have to have at least 27 in health and 1 frenzy point to initiate an attack. This means that even when you are not on the game you can be attacked as long as you have the minimum amount of health available.
Attacking
Attacking is based on attack ability. To have good attack ability you buy the highest given in abilities for your level. Skill points can be used to add attack bonus, but it is up to your choosing. Sometimes to be stronger in attack it is necessary to purchase more than one ability in each Category (Physical, Sensory, and Transformation) Remember that when attacking it is only you attacking and not your clan.
Defending
Defense is based on defense ability. To have good defense you buy the highest given in abilities for your level. Skill points can be used toward defense, but that is to your choosing. When a player attacks and is able to get pass your defense, check his attacking ability in each ability category. (Physical, Sensory, and Transformation) when defending your clan (5 times your level) is used and each clan member uses one defense ability from each category (Physical, Sensory, and Transformation), which will be the highest defense ability you have available.
Zombie Class
Savage: Gains Flesh faster
Brute: Heals faster
Fiend: Gains Energy faster
*my suggestion would be to become a savage to build income quicker*
Income (Flesh)
Traps are a source of income in the game. Each trap that you buy adds to your income. Traps can be sold, but you only get back half for what you paid for them. To stop from adding traps that may be slow in increasing flesh, try buying the higher traps and with what flesh is left buying the lower income traps. This will help with building income.
*just like buying defense slaves for vamps that can be used to help against zombie attacks, defense traps can be bought to help with attacks against vampires. Graveyard Traps (no upkeep) gives +5 defense for each against vampire attacks and Solarium Traps (also no pesky upkeep) gives +50 defense for each against vampire attacks. Once again it's a wise investment*
Abilities
There are three categories of abilities; Action, Enhancement, and Regenerative. These are used for attacking and defending. Some have upkeep as you increase in level. The best to get if you want your zombie to be the strongest for your level are the abilities with the highest amount of defense and/or attack.
*Remember that each clan member uses 1 ability from each category. So there’s no reason to buy more than what is needed for your level (your level times 5). Also each ability is used automatically.*
Upkeep
Upkeep is required for certain abilities. (Mostly as your level increases and the higher abilities) it is taken from your income each time income is produced (income cycles are mainly every 30 minutes to an hour). Make sure that you have enough income, if not, you will be given a negative income and abilities will be sold until your income is again in the positive. Meaning until your debt is paid.
Missions
Missions help to gain experience, flesh, and to also level. Missions require energy, horde size, certain abilities and levels. To access unlocked missions, level increases are required.
Fighting
Fighting other players can help you gain either experience or flesh. This is also the same for them attacking you, so remember to keep health low if you have flesh out. I do not advise banking money but that is to your choosing. (Banking money takes 10% to deposit, its less flesh taken to actually be attacked) To attack or be attacked you have to have at least 27 health and 1 rage point to initiate an attack. This means that even when you are not on the game you can be attacked as long as you have the minimum amount of health available.

Hitlist and Deathlist
B |
oth quite similar, (Hitlist is used on Vampires Live and Deathlist is used on Zombies Live) is a way of having a bounty on your head and a person can put out a contract (add you to the Hitlist/Deathlist) for a price. Depending on your level, defense, and amount of health is how quickly you are killed on the Hitlist/ Deathlist. It is also possible to win fights while listed. Storm8 put a cap on the Hitlist/ Deathlist which means you can add a player to be listed 25 times, but the max is set to a 200 max per player (more like an equivalent of being max hitlisted by 8 players in total). Once you max Hitlist/ Deathlist you will get a notification that you can't list them until tomorrow (which I believe is 24 hours). This feature is for all players. One good thing about the Hitlist/ Deathlist is it gives experience. The Hitlist cost a minimum of 10,000 blood to use and the Deathlist cost 120 flesh minimum.
*make sure that you know that if you Hitlist/ Deathlist attackers or farmers, it gives them what's called a soft link (non permanent link, but a way to find you better)*

ow does the clan/horde thing work? Well this is the basic easy term, for each level you are able to use five more players. This means for each level you add five more in defense and attack abilities. There is a spreadsheet that you can use to help select the best attack and defense, slaves to build income, and other info. (look up IMMOforums.com) you must be registered, look for spreadsheet, and you must have access to excel to use the spreadsheet).
*Also (almost forgot) when you fight or battle, level of members in your clan doesn't have any relevance.*

or the most part I’ve seen many people make this one same big mistake, if you are attacked by someone, why must you respond on their walls? If someone is unfamiliar to you the worst thing you can do is hand over a link. You’d be surprised how many players willingly give links to unfriendly foes. One thing I have learned to do is before actually responding, if you choose to respond, check out the player, here’s a few things to take notice of:
1.) If you see posts from other players asking why are you attacking me? What’s your problem? Stop attacking me you dirty senseless son of a bitch!!! (lmao okay maybe not the last one)
2.) Check stats (troublemakers get hitlisted a lot)
3.) See if you see other familiar players on their wall, you can ask them how well they know this player
4.) Find out if friends or people who have links to you are having issues with anyone (most of the time they have found your link on someone else’s wall)
*It has come to my attention that some are not aware of what a link is (lmao...um that's ok I'm here for you). Anytime you respond to another person, with words, letters, or symbol you leave a portal that can be used to get to your wall. (Hope that makes sense)*
Camping
There are a few ways to camp. Camping is when you allow your vamp/zombie to be inactive for the purpose of building income. To do this some strip their vamp/zombies of all abilities that have upkeep. Now to do that it is a must to keep health low at all times. (Helps with chances of being attacked a lot or farmed.) You can also camp with just having defense or abilities with little to no upkeep. (I personally have camped keeping my defense and I am a level 52 with over 500 mil income but the choice is yours.)
Leveling
As far as leveling goes there's no true best way to do so. You have to find what works for you by doing missions, attacking other members (which could get you in some trouble), or hitting up blood bars (make sure you know their rules and it's ok to attack or again...trouble). One thing you do not want to do is level quickly if you don’t have good income. Nothing worse than leveling and finding out that you can’t even afford proper defense (higher level abilities have overpriced upkeep don't forget). This leaves you vulnerable for being attacked and farmed until you are able to fix you income and abilities (which depending upon how bad the shape you're in can take a while to fix).
With the right tools and knowledge your vamp/zombies can become very strong. You can build and develop them the way you see fit. The best way to have strong vamps and zombies is to build them from a lower level on up, a lot of times players are not aware of what to do and make bad choices. (I was one of those players lmao) Hopefully this guide will be helpful to some and good gaming!
Special N Yo Bizniz Bulletin

t has come to my attention that a certain person has been doing his very own version of flashing people on pal (Palringo for those unaware). (I was actually going to joke about him opening a pretend trench coat but that’s just sick) Hopefully we together can somewhat control what happens in our rooms. The reasons why things of this nature happen are of many reasons. Let me just say this, if you know that someone has wronged you in this way the worst thing you can do is not do anything about it. You can stop others from having to go through the ordeal. I normally do not do articles like this, but something of this nature needs attention. So I have decided to provide a list of things to remember to secure you from assholes like this.
1.) Do not add contacts that you don’t know (ask around if you are unsure)
2.) Be careful not to talk to unfamiliar people (many odd people add rooms, they do not talk or introduce themselves)
3.) Be careful of showing pictures of yourself to others and in rooms (keep in mind that predators are everywhere)
4.) Remember people are not always who they appear to be (it is a sad fact that people lie, even those who claim to be friends)
5.) If you or someone you know feel as though someone has violated you in some form (nude pictures, uncomfortable conversation, etc.), and these things were unwanted, please contact info@palringo.com (make sure to list as much info as you can, screen shots will be a plus and even their User ID)
