Getting started

AMRP is played on Android, through the AMRP app. The app is the game, the launcher and your account in one.

1. Download the app

1. On your phone, tap Download the app (an APK file).
2. Open it. Android asks to allow installing from this source once: allow it, then Install.
3. Open AMRP. The first start downloads the game data; stay on Wi-Fi if you can.

Updates come by themselves: when a new version is out the app tells you and installs it.

2. Create your account

• Tap Create account and type a first name and a last name. The app shows the name you will have in the game (Ahmed_Achouri) and tells you at once if it is taken.
• Password: 6 to 40 characters, not your name, not a common one like 123456.
• You stay logged in: the game never asks your password again on this phone.

3. Your character

• On your first join you create your character (look, age), then you spawn in Alger.
• Your first tasks show on screen: get a phone, a driving licence, a job, your first paycheck. MENU > Help > My tasks explains each one; Track puts a marker on the map.
• Every task pays money and an RPoint, and all of them together give a bonus.
• Lost? MENU > Help > GPS finds any place in the city.

Controls on the phone

Joystick at the bottom left, game buttons at the bottom right, chat at the top left. You never need to type a command: everything is in buttons and menus.

• MENUEverything you can do, sorted: character, money, vehicles, job, roleplay, help.
• ACTIONSWhat you can do right where you stand: buy, rent, work, rob, sit…
• Context buttonsUp to 6 appear when they make sense: ENTER / EXIT at a door, ENGINE in a car, RENT on a free rental, TABLE at the casino, TAKE TURF…
• BELTThe seatbelt disc on the speedometer, for the driver and passengers.
• ANIMEmotes and animations: sit, lean, wave, hands up. You can move the button.
• INVENTORYYour items, your phone and your laptop. A red dot means an unread SMS.
• TALKHold and speak; slide right to lock it. The people around you hear your character.
• RADIOTalks on your radio frequency once you have a radio (factions use it on duty).

Chat

• Tap the chat to type. What you write is said by your character to the people near you.
• Out of character: /b local OOC. Describe actions with /me and situations with /do. /s shouts.
• The chat stays quiet: most information comes as pop-ups and pages instead of lines of text.

Voice and language

• Voice chat is built into the app, with noise suppression and echo protection. Phone calls are in voice too.
• The game speaks Darija by default; pick Arabic or English in the launcher, or in the HUD’s LANGUAGE row.
• The HUD editor lets you move and resize buttons to fit your thumbs.

Money & bank

Alger runs on dinars (DA). You carry cash; the rest is safer in the bank.

• Paytime comes every full hour if you played 30 minutes since the last one: a paycheck for the minutes played, your job pay and faction pay, minus tax and rent, plus 0.2 % interest on your bank account.
• Deposit and withdraw at a bank or an ATM; on the phone you get an amount pad.
• Transfers to another player from level 3; a wire costs 1 %.
• Cash can be dropped, stolen or lost: do not walk around with everything you own.
• Kiosks sell phone credit and the El Khabar newspaper.

Jobs

Legal jobs are at the job agency (APC d’Alger-Centre), in City Hall. Each job has its page: what you do, where, the vehicle, the steps and the pay. Take it and you get a guide and a marker on the map.

• Taxi driver (your price per km), trucker (deliveries to businesses and gas stations), mechanic (repair, refuel and tow players who call), and more.
• MENU > Job is your job hub: duty, current run, earnings, next paytime.
• You can leave a job at any time, then take another.

Fishing

• Buy a rod and bait at the fish market (La Pêcherie).
• Cast in the red marker of a fishing spot or from a stopped boat; when it bites, reel when the cursor is in the green zone.
• Sell your cool box at the fish market: a receipt per species. Rare and legendary fish pay big.

Illegal jobs

Thief and car jacker are taken at their hideout (GET JOB). See Illegal.

Vehicles

• Rent: sit in a free rental car and tap RENT. It is yours until you give it back or leave the server.
• Buy at a dealership. Your account starts with 3 vehicle slots.
• Driving licence: the test is free, 25 checkpoints, keep the car in good shape.
• ENGINE starts and stops the engine. BELT puts your seatbelt on: on-duty police can see who is not wearing one.
• Fuel: fill up at a gas station, or carry a petrol can. An empty tank stops the engine.
• MENU > Vehicles: lock, park, find, plate, keys, sell.

Impound

• The police can tow your car to the impound lot. You get a PV (the official report) with the reason and the fee, in your phone’s FINES app.
• Pay at the lot’s desk to get it back, unless the PV says the release is by the police only.
• An impounded vehicle cannot be driven or towed away.

Houses & safe

• Houses for sale show at their door; the laptop lists the real estate for sale too.
• MENU > House: buy, lock, rent rooms, upgrades, furniture, sell.
• Lock your door. An unlocked house can be robbed by a thief.

The safe

• A house can have one safe. Bigger, more expensive interiors hold more items.
• Open, close, lock it, and store items and money in it from your inventory.
• Door unlocked and safe left open: anyone inside can help himself. Keep both closed.

Businesses

• Businesses (shops, bars, gas stations, kiosks, rentals…) can be bought by players. Customers pay into the business’s till.
• The owner names it, sets prices, orders products (brought by the delivery company) and can put it on sale.
• Big tills are worth protecting: a shop with a lot of cash attracts robbers. Carry the till to the bank with the money van.
• Kiosks: phone credit and newspapers. Rentals: the owner sets the rental price.

Factions

Factions are the city’s organisations: police, gendarmerie, army, government, the delivery company, gangs and mafias. You join one from level 3, invited by its leaders.

• Ranks are tiers (0 = leader to 3) with authorities given by the leaders.
• Law enforcement: on duty, armoury, Algerian patrol cars, arrests with the penal code (/laws: 7 chapters, each charge with its sentence and fine), frisks, PV fines, impound, and the laptop MDC.
• Faction news, members and information are on the laptop.
• Gangs and mafias fight for turfs.
• Recruitment is announced on Discord.

Illegal: thieves, Saroukh, turfs

Crime pays, until it does not. Everything below is roleplay: have a reason, and expect the police.

Thief

• Five ranks: Pickpocket, Sneak thief, Burglar, Professional, Master thief. Each job done gives XP.
• Pickpocket players (a quick minigame), pick locks, rob unlocked houses and shops. A robbery fills a money bag over time; leave too early and you get nothing.
• A shop robbery needs enough people in town, police included, and the same place cannot be robbed again for 2 hours.

Saroukh

• Made by the faction holding the warehouse lab, in four qualities: PGB 300, Taxi, Milan, Double Signature.
• Sold player to player. Never for police, army or government.

Turfs

• Alger is cut into 28 turfs, one per district. Only gang and mafia members see them on the map.
• TAKE TURF: 5 members of your faction inside the district, in the street, for 5 minutes. If you drop under 5, it fails.
• A turf just taken is protected for 30 minutes; a faction that failed waits 10 minutes.

Reputation

Your reputation goes from 0 to 100: Khayen, Mashbouh, Mouwaten, Mohtaram, Cheikh el 7ouma. Work and good roleplay raise it, crimes lower it. See it in MENU > Character > Reputation and on the player panel.

Mosque & qamis

• The Great Mosque of Algiers stands on Sidi Fredj beach, with its minaret, courtyard and hall. It is a landmark of the city.
• Entering the hall you are dressed in a qamis of a random colour with a chachia; your own clothes come back when you leave.
• Inside: no weapons, no drugs, no shoes. Your weapons are given back when you leave.
• The top of the minaret holds the minister’s office, reached by the lift, and a roof terrace with a view over the bay.
• Qamis outfits in several colours can also be worn as clothes.

Casino & dominos

Casino

• Tables are opened by official dealers on duty: roulette (6 places, single zero) or blackjack (5 places, the dealer stands on 17, blackjack pays 3:2, double on two cards).
• Tap TABLE near a table to watch, then SIT DOWN to play. Bets come from your cash; the house pays.
• Turns and bets have 10 seconds. To leave, ask the dealer, or wait until none of your money is in play.

Dominos

• Street tables with stools, like in the 7ouma. Sit down and play on a full-screen board; each turn has 10 seconds.

Table voice

At a table you hear only your table and only it hears you. The OUTSIDE VOICE switch lets the street in. Over your head: (( CAN HEAR )) or (( CANT HEAR )).

Rules

AMRP is a roleplay server: you play a character living in Alger. Your character only knows what he saw, heard or was told in the game.

• No metagaming: never use in the game what you learnt outside of it (a name tag, a message, Discord, a call outside the game).
• No powergaming: no impossible actions, and never decide for someone else what happens to him.
• No deathmatch: no attack and no kill without a roleplay reason behind it.
• Respect other players and the staff. No cheats, no bug abuse.
• A problem with a player: MENU > Help > Report a player. Staff online: MENU > Help > Admins online.

The full rules and the staff’s decisions are on Discord.
