Hello dearies. Aunty here. Now then, before I get to your letters I'm going to make myself an early-morning eggnog Martini. I decided I may as well indulge seeing as we'll all be dead from war soon enough. It seems there are lots of young, aspiring whipper-snappers around right now who are hoping to give themselves a leg-up in Torn's hierarchy. I suppose we will see if their energy and zeal can propel them to the top... or if their recklessness gets them put in time out.
I asked around the old folks home what they thought of the upcoming war... It took a bit to wake them from their naps and stop them from rambling about the good ole days, but they seem a bit fired up. I even saw Grandpa Gonzo sharpening his walking stick!They've had many years to grow their retirement funds you know. If a real war could be profitable or have a purpose, it could really stimulate Torn's economy! And you know how we old folks love to hoard wealth! Anyway, let's see what all you soon-to-be dead youngsters want to know this week.
I have found my way into a muggers blacklist, I'm pretty sure it's the same time though it's always a stealth attack. What should I do to stop them? Are there any ways to save my money now that the bookies don't let you take money out of a bet? Also, I'd rather be anonymous, better not make myself a sitting duck for others to target me...
Hi,
If you find yourself getting mugged around the same time, you can try to find out who the mugger is by starting an attack when you notice your health start to drop. If you can manage to start an attack before they hosp you, you can catch who they are. From there you can try to work something out with friends/faction to get them to leave you be. Other options are mug protection, travelling/self hosping, or storing your money in a business or points.
Good luck!

At exactly rank 13, I received a bounty of $10 from "someone". Hadn't done a thing to anyone. But the attacks kept coming from high rankers and so did the bounties. Asking around the hospital, which I spent at most 10 minutes away from at a time, I discovered it wasn't. I considered quitting the game because of this. How would you advise us to act in such situations?

Hi,
I'm sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately, at this time, there isn't much you can do to completely stop something like this right away. Over time they may get bored and leave you alone. I'd say continue working on stats to try to get stronger and be involved with a good faction that can help you grow as a player. Torn has a lot to offer everyone! Young players and old grannies like me, try not to be too discouraged young one.
One thing to aim for is to train up your work stats so you can get work at a 7 star cyber cafe. Working here gives you the ability to see the lister of anonymous bounties. You could also pay someone already at a cyber cafe to tell you who did it.
Good luck

Dear aunty Torn I have been thinking this one for a while, is it morally right to scam scammers? And if so, how should I do it? I'm tired of all these scammers taking advantage of other fellow citizens and I want to make them taste their own medicine but i'm playing I'm playing in their field, Aunty Torn could you give me some tips?

Hi,
If you were to open the good book, you would be encouraged to do the right thing, even when others do the wrong thing... But Aunty Torn might be okay with you giving some rotten eggs a good dose of their own stink!
Good luck!

Dear Aunty Torn,
What is the point of a poisonous mistletoe?

Hi,
Poisonous mistletoe is a codeword us old timers use when we catch something getting frisky at the old folks home. Try to stay far far away from it!
Good luck!

It's true you know. Whatever is in that spritzer gave Aunty a right ruddy red rash this time last year. At least that's where I'm telling myself it came from. Aunty gets around you know. My medication has entirely removed my inhibitions. If you see me ambling towards you on a Thursday afternoon with a crazed look in my eyes, for your own sakes, run.
Aunty Torn will be back with more of your questions and her wisdom early next year. Until then, don't forget to send Aunty your questions via the Torn City Times Tell Your Story link. A donator pack is winging its way towards all of today's question senders. Merry Christmas my lovelies. Try to enjoy it if you can. You'll all have a festive glow soon enough.
