A PRIZED POSSESSION Rare items can be extremely difficult to acquire even if you spam the classifieds and forums with ads.

Paul [1176287] — | Volume I, Issue 1 | The Journal of Torn Science (JTS) is a peer-reviewed journal that features high-impact studies conducted by researchers in the Torn Community. Introduction Torn is a unique and complex game littered with hidden variables and stats that have a significant impact on your gameplay. One way or another, we all came to this realization very early in the game when we asked : “Wait, how do we know when we’re close to leveling up?” The answer is, you don’t; your experience is hidden. And it is that age-old noob question that made me question what else in this game is hidden, and is there a way to quantify what we cannot see? In the Journal of Torn Science, we seek answers to some of these questions through rigorous and thoughtful studies. This pilot volume will highlight previous studies conducted by members of the Torn community. In subsequent volumes, we hope to premier new data in this format as soon as those studies are complete, and we encourage...

sugarvalves [1963573] — Find out why one of Torn's top factions was deleted last week, where its members went, and what fate will befall its hastily rebranded subfactions. Have you been hiding under a rock lately? Good, that's some excellent social distancing you've got going on there. But you may have missed the news that Unrelenting, a former subfaction of Relentless, was deleted by Torn's Community Manager bogie last week , with a number of its members and leadership team also removed from the game. The decision to remove an entire faction is rare but not without precedent. Indeed, Bogie told The Times that he has deleted two other factions above 1 million respect in the past few months, along with several smaller factions too. Bogie explained that in cases where multis were used to build up a substantial amount of the faction, he is compelled to ask whether or not it is fair to allow them to continue to exist. "My initial decision was to actually leave the f...

sugarvalves [1963573] — New and improved specials provided for unpopular company type. Company described as useful to new players. Profits boosted to help compete against Sweet Shops, Grocery stores etc. Torn's Music Stores have had their specials and profits improved in an attempt to attract more directors and employees to the industry. This action was taken to remedy their unpopularity, as Music Stores are the rarest company type of all, with just twenty-six in existence at the time of writing. Of these twenty-six Music Stores, only five have star ratings, and two of them are rendered inactive by virtue of their lack of customers. To attract investment in this industry, Music Stores have had their profitability increased by a significant unspecified amount. So with just three active competitors in play right now, there is plenty of opportunity for budding company directors to dip their toes into this business, especially as the startup cost for a Music Store is just $1.5 milli...

Jairyll [2167612] — Free-to-join player-run racing competition starts 20th April. Two-month event open for registrations until noon on Sunday. Have you heard about justice? In Torn? YES! Some of us choose this way of lifestyle….well...sometimes. And if you combine this profound, philosophical state of mind with a self-quarantined and idle woman in her best age (cough), what else could be the result other than a brand new player-run racing tournament? I mean, really! The Justice League Tournament is a two-month racing event run by two Torn players which consists of six individual leagues, each of which will run eight 50-lap races across randomly chosen tracks. Beginning April 20th and running until June 21st, each league's races run weekly on different days and are split according to your driver skill, which must be provided ahead of the competition - you can do this via a screenshot sent privately to Jairyll (me) or LordOfFire. Group one: RS 0-9.99 - Mondays Group two: RS 10-19....

BraveKath [1815519] — Read on to find out how Forged Through War quietly made over $25 billion in a few months... without rackets The introduction of rackets in September 2019 led to a major shift in the way Torn's most powerful factions focus their efforts. These days, the acquisition of territories is less driven by respect than it is the presence of Illegal Casinos, Truck Stops and Money Launderers. And when individual rackets are sometimes worth several hundred million dollars a pop, who can blame them? Torn's racket industry pumps in several billion dollars worth of cash and items into Torn's economy every single day. Those who are powerful enough to grab a slice of this pie are often too full for anything else afterwards. But what about the rest of us? With extortion rampant and "protection" even more so, how can ambitious factions earn good money without dipping their toes into the territorial waters of others? How about Faction Destruction? The ability...
