Citizens Scramble As Eggs Released

Annual Eggstravaganza begins in earnest. People seen going 'albumental' at purported lack of eggs. City close to cracking up. Egg puns in short supply.
On the fifth of April, the annual Torn City Easter Eggs Contest got underway, with eggspectant citizens looking to beat the competition and collect as many coloured eggs as possible in a bid to be crowned Torn's number one eggspert.



There are nine types of egg available, and each one confers upon its bearer a most pleasant effect once collected. Albumentioning more about what you can do with these eggs later, but for now, here is an over-easy guide as to what each coloured egg does.



As of monday this week, a total of 63,192 eggs had been scattered about the city thus far, with only 28,929 multicoloured hen secretions collected by 12,254 people. This figure equates to roughly 2.36 eggs per person, but some eggstatic individuals have collected far more than this, with nine people known to have collected ten eggs each. They must be eggshausted. Xtreme1, Kole-, Sarah01 and Adamantium are some of the players known to have collected ten eggs already, and we have no qualms about naming these people since once they're in your possession, your eggs cannot be poached by others.

If you haven't found any yet, then don't have an eggsistential crisis, for the competition still has another fourteen days to go. There's no need to shell out for eggspensive equipment, as eggs can be found by just going about your normal Torn routine - fighting, trading, eggsercising, egg cetera. And with some people having laid their hands on ten eggs already, it seems that the winner of this year's event may surpass our eggspectations and achieve a record high score.

Last year's title was taken by Woolis, -Samurai-, and Greenback who each collected 23 Easter Eggs during the competition. This was an improvement on the winning total of 21 achieved by F4rhan1 and Adamantium in 2016, which itself built upon the 15 found by Yaz back in 2015. The Easter Egg competition has been running in Torn City for many years now, but since pre-2015 figures are not available, omelette you guess how many eggs were collected back in the days of yore.

Winning the competition isn't everything, though, as while the top egg collectors will win more tokens, glory and a sense of personal pride, the prize for coming top of the leaderboard is a big fat nothing - and that's no yolk, they don't even win an Egg Cup. With that in mind, you may be tempted to consume your eggs as soon as you find them, but don't be so tasty (as in hasty, because eggs are tasty).

Any citizen who manages to acquire a complete collection of all nine eggs can trade their haul in for a Golden Egg, an Honor Bar and some points. Grandma always said don't put your eggs in one basket, but you should, because otherwise you'll look like a right **** at the supermarket and miss out on one of Torn's most unique awards. Old people advice is really not what it's cracked up to be.

And if you end up failing to collect enough eggs this year to secure the award, don't be downhearted; you fried your best. Easter Eggs can be consumed outside of the competition to acquire happiness, and you can even save them for 2019 to complete the set next year. But whatever you plan to do with your eggs, the Torn City Times would like to wish you the very best of luck, and we'd like to Eggspress our most sincere admiration for your efforts.
