WildHare [2173250] — Read on to find out how new players can become competitive by following a few basic tips and taking part in Torn's monthly and annual events! Everyone knows that the first thing you should do when you join Torn is dive into the forums. That's what I did when I arrived here on October 2nd, 2018. I just missed the Elimination event, so I had plenty of time to start reading everything I could find in forum guides and the wiki while making my way through the tutorial missions. The second thing you should do is join a faction. And the third thing you should do is familiarize yourself with Torn's Calendar , because there are things going on in this city every single month!

Maybe there's something about a Middle-Eastern kid and a fat lad in a red jumpsuit too, I don't know. I haven't done the research. The point is, Christmas is a time for coming together, and in Torn, you can do that even if you're spending Christmas on your own this year. Because in Torn City you're never alone - that's not always a good thing, but it is undoubtedly true. If you are spending the holidays by yourself, either because your family is far away, you hate them, or they've gone on vacation and accidentally left you behind Home Alone style, we hope you'll reach out to y...

sugarvalves [1963573] — How can you make friends in Torn? Is it okay for your director to charge for trains? And what should you do if your mugging profits have been nerfed? Read on to find out what Aunty Torn thinks! Aunty hasn't been out of the house much lately, because the whole city has suddenly started to stink of trash! It's as if everyone has been rolling around in the dump or something. Is this one of those new crazes Aunty keeps hearing about? Like Pokemon? Or waterboarding? Anywho, Aunty has popped on her glasses and popped in her pills and is ready to dispense advice to you, the troubled citizens of Torn. So let's begin with a question from a young player who just wants to make a few pals. Hi Aunty Torn, Is there any way I can get more involved with the Torn community beyond my faction? I had a lot of fun engaging with others in Elim 2019 and I was wondering if there was any way I could make new friends without taking part in one of those big competitions. Hi...

sugarvalves [1963573] — Christmas Town opened to all after brief downtime. Maps set to remain open for longer than scheduled to reward player patience / satiate community bloodlust. Chedburn has announced that Christmas Town is set to be extended for a few days beyond its usual closing time, as a way of compensating for its delayed opening earlier this week. The opportunity to frolic in the snow, collect cans and crash through frozen ice is now available to everyone, and while some issues may crop up during peak times, it is expected that Christmas Town will now remain fully open for all players - until it closes, obviously. No specific timeframe has been given for Christmas Town's duration, but given that it opened two days after it was scheduled to do so, you can probably expect CT to end around the 2nd or 3rd of January, depending on how full of festive spirit our Lord and Saviour Chedburn is. During this time, many of you will want to check out the official Christmas Town ma...

sugarvalves [1963573] — Annual dumping of valuable crap set to begin on Saturday. Twelve days of Christmas giveaways will include rare and never-before-seen items. Duke's annual Christmas giveaway is set to return this Saturday, with his traditional twelve days of dumping scheduled to run up to and including Christmas Day itself - because apparently Duke has f**k all to do on Christmas morning, the massive loser. Every day from the 14th to the 25th, Duke will hurl several expensive items into the dump at various points throughout the day. The items Duke throws out will become more expensive or rare as the giveaway progresses, and as usual, there will be several new items created especially for the occasion. Last year, players were treated to such fabulous items as a Toast Jesus, a Cheesus, a bottle of Christmas spirit, a Gronch Mask - legally distinct from the Grinch - and a Scammer in the Slammer toy. This year, Duke plans on giving out more bottles of Christmas Spirit on an un...

sugarvalves [1963573] — Find out why you should always do your research, why envy is destructive, and how the Torn City Times has been exonerated over its involvement in Elimination 2018. October's maiden confessional was a spicy affair, to say the least. We had a scammer admit to a ruse involving Bogie, a thief who professed to abusing the trust of those in Fun and Games, and a quite awful moron who confessed they had wasted an expensive stat enhancer. But the confessions we have for you this time around are even spicier. And even though I plan on saying that every single month, I can assure you that this time it's true. Mostly because our first confession comes from a participant in 2018's Elimination contest, and it exonerates none other than yours truly. The Pastor's Response "And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that...
