sugarvalves [1963573] — What's happening in the URT? Who is in pole position to snag themselves a Bugatti? And why did everyone except Stormcast crash in race three? This time last week the qualifiers for the Ultimate Racing Tournament came to a rich creamy end, with these races proving to be some of the most popular fasty fasty car times ever run in Torn City. As such, they were vastly oversubscribed, with some racers struggling to make it into more than a couple of the qualifiers. Among the big names who failed to qualify were race organisers Stormcast and Destroys, with the former missing out by an agonising 33 one-hundredths of a second in Saturday's fourth qualifier at Mudpit. In fact, of the five race organisers who took part, Rogue was the only one who made it through. Garfthegreat and Caladan were the other two stewards involved, and the Torn City Times wishes to take a moment to commend all five players for their dedication and hard work during the qualifying weeken...

Unown explores what it takes to become one of Torn City's hardworking hero healers. With faction war and nuclear attacks now enabled in Torn, the financial landscape of our great city is about to change markedly. Some businesses will thrive, others will fail. Some people will prosper, others will fall into disrepute. For in times of conflict, it is those who provide the most necessary and urgent services who stand to benefit from the outbreak of war. None more so than that blessed group of health-minded helpers, the revivers. Pictured: My favorite nurse... Each and every one of Torn's revivers has worked their way through the seven starter positions of the Medical profession, beginning as a Medical Student and ending as a Brain Surgeon. This final role gives players the ability to revive other citizens for 75 energy even after you leave the job. ...
