Awareness Awareness Week

How aware are you of Awareness Awareness week? Do you know what it does? Are you aware of when it starts, or how long it lasts? And why should you give a damn?
Are you aware that Awareness Awareness week starts on Monday? If not, then don’t be wary, as Awareness Awareness week does not require you to be aware of the endless number of awareness campaigns which litter the media these days. Children with terrible diseases, cats that don’t read so good and acts of genocide in faraway lands are no concern of ours right now. For the next week of our wretched lives, all we need care about is free stuff!



Awareness is an attribute which determines how many items you'll "stumble across" while browsing the city map. The higher your awareness, the more often you'll find items, and logically this means you stand an increased chance of finding fancier items. So while those who have used merit points, job specials and books to boost Awareness are more likely to find fancy trinkets like Hazmats and RPGs, the rest of us poor schmucks will probably end up with Xanax, Uzis and the occasional box of tissues - unless we're lucky!

However, from Monday 00:00am on the 20th of January, the whole of Torn shall be blessed with bless-ed awareness, as Awareness Awareness week boosts the awareness of all citizens by a secret, unspecified amount - probably a bazillion. This boost stacks with your existing awareness abilities, so if you’re already rather aware, Awareness Awareness week will make you aggressively aware - who knows what treasure you might find. Let's hope it's not that crippling self-doubt you've been trying to avoid your whole life.

To use this boost, all you need to do is take the time to browse the City Map a few times this week. There should be more items than usual scattered about for all citizens, regardless of their previous level of awareness. And the good news is that these items will remain on your map until you collect them, even after Awareness Awareness week ends at 23:59pm on Sunday the 26th.

Tl;dr: There will be more free stuff on the City Map for one week, you jerks. Event runs for one week from Monday 20th until Sunday 26th.
