Torn City Times

The operator of Torn Casino's popular Spin The Wheel game was seen crawling nude down the Torn City highway this morning, with the Laotian lothario Leslie Chanthavong suspected to be the victim of yet another mob assault against Torn's most beloved citizens. This attack is believed to have been the sixth inflicted on Chanthavong in the past 24 hours, with the throat-bothering casino employee known to have lost several possessions throughout the ordeal.

sugarvalves [1963573] — Why did Natural Selection pitch up in Mexico? Who admitted to stealing $6.25 billion? And what do China SMTH have to say after their war with MMCP? Let's find out in this round-up of May's local news. Over the past few months the local news has been neglected more brutally than Torn players' children during a 25k chain. Let us rectify this terrible mistake and bring you a few snippets of news you may have missed from the past few weeks. NATURAL SELECTION TAKES MEXICO When JFA merged with Milk and Cookies to form Natural Selection many expected a grandiose statement of intent to kick things off. Would they drop a nuke?

Penicillin [1517799] — With the creation of Natural Selection coming at the expense of one of Torn's most famous factions, former member Penicillin takes a look back at the fascinating history of JFA. It started out as something temporary. A faction created as a home for players too weak to perform in JFK 2.0. But from such inauspicious beginnings came JFA, a mighty faction who, until recently, played a major role in Torn's faction scene. Led by Stretch and Vicarious, JFA fought bravely for Torn United Nations in their epic war against the Insurgency group, and despite their campaign ultimately ending in defeat, this scrap proved an epic way to send off one of the city's toughest factions. In recent weeks JFA has merged with Milk and Cookies to form a new outfit called Natural Selection. But JFA will not be forgotten. And to ensure their legacy is remembered, we present you with the long overdue faction biography of Just Fer A**holes. Pictured: It's clever because th...

Torn's annual Museum Day points boost returns this Friday, with its traditional 10% increase to donation payouts set to apply for twice as long this year, making a complete mockery of the use of the word "day" in the event's title. Pictured: A much better museum. For those of you who are unaware, The Torn City Museum of Stolen Foreign Treasures, to give it its full name, pays out points to those who present them with certain items or sets of items. Players must have completed the History Studies Education Bachelor to gain access to the Museum - because we don't want any riff-raff in there - but once you have done so, a wealth of money-making opportunities awaits those who like to spend their weekends robbing sovereign nations of their distinct cultural heritage.
