NATURAL SELECTION AT WORK The big story from the weekend was that Natural Selection II lived up to their name and ensured only the fittest may survive on the island, as they removed Unrelenting 2 from Torn's prime sector 1 territories and dumped them at the city's edge quicker than a trucker disposing of a hooker's corpse. Late on Friday night, an exasperate...

sugarvalves [1963573] — Are you repeatedly mugged on payday? Does your boss punish you for playing Torn at work? And where did your old leader's stock block go? The answers to all may lie in this month's Torn Confessional. Pastor Williams has watched the people of Torn with great interest over the past two months, hence why he missed his regular column back in February. Thankfully, his trial for voyeurism ended with a most deserv-ed acquittal, hencewhencewhereforth our most reverent citizen is now free to bestow his judgements upon the people once more. This month, in honour of Employee Appreciation Day, we have several work-based confessions for you to feast your eyes upon. The Pastor's Response "Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results."

ArttiIsGod [1954421] — This crossword has been scanned for viruses and we can confirm it contains only the good ones. Hello and welcome to Torn City Times Crossword Number 41. If you are currently searching for meaning in your life while trapped inside a concrete box, why not take a break and search for some words instead. But first, let's see the results of last week's crossword, which contained an error for which I must apologize. Many people messaged me to point out that I'd written Shabti Sculture instead of Shabti Sculpture. I feel bad about this, but mistakes happen. I spend quite a few hours creating, correcting and spell-checking this crossword, but if it happens again just drop me a message and I will clarify the answer. My punishment is to go outside and let strangers cough directly in my mouth. Anyhow, the answer to the previous crossword was: " How many times do I have to flush before you go away? " - usually two times is enough. The first person to...
