Our attention turns to a faction that caught a lot of peoples eyes and had high expectation as they were rising through the ranks, The UnLeashed Sykoz (TuS).
TuS was started a few years back by iiNsane [1006280]. He said the name was chosen because they want(ed) to be viewed as ruthless, although to this day I do not what "Sykoz" means.
At present, whilst waiting for the factions updates, TuS war every couple of month, but it used to be the opposite, training every couple of months and chaining the rest of the time.
As TuS are one of the "New generation factions", I find that their war history is quite interesting. Although they have not been around as long as other factions they have gained just as much respect as many of the HOF factions. Although TuS themselves are a HOF faction the speed at which they were able to break into HOF is a nice achievement, and are now respected in HOF.
TuS's first major war was against Way Of The Warrior, which many will know that BodyBagger [99177] used to run. Even being heavily, BodyBagger heavy, outweighed when it came to stats, Tus still managed to pull off a surprising victory. Another big war was with Milk and Cookies. The war went on for days and ended with a TuS claiming a nice 55,473 claim bonus. It is interesting to see this comparison in faction growth that goes on through out the ranks, as at some point Milk and Cookies and Tus were strong rivals, but both factions grew/strengthened at different rates with MnC pulling away. Although, MnC have not warred in a long while, so their next war will be watched carefully for sure.
One of their most public wars was with MMCP. As with most wars it started off as a fun and challenging war between two equally matched factions, but it took a turn for the worst. TuS pulled ahead and felt victory was in sight. This is when MMCP's employed a new tactic. MMCP kicked all of their members, which meant that the war could not be completed by either faction, or so it would seem. However, MMCP's members would rejoin to make their hits, then leave again. Using this method, they pushed TuS back to 10% control. The war was primed to see one of the biggest claim bonuses in Torn history, and it was at this point that TuS opted to return the favour. TuS mimicked what MMCP did and kicked all of their members. However, instead of members re-joining to attack and then leave again, they decided/were forced to let the war timeout. The huge claim bonus that would have been gained was lost. MMCP have since gone quiet and so their side of the story will be left for another day.
TuS made their way up to HOF by making the factions that fought back their main targets, meaning big claim bonuses, and using the others as fillers. Whatever their method, it seems to have worked quite nicely.
