WEDDING WOES
Here at Torn, we're trying to avoid mentioning "da rona" as much as possible, because every other part of the internet is drenched in references to that stupid jerk of a virus that's stopping us all getting haircuts right now. However, I felt that the following story sent in by Warly_Woo was worth a mention anyway.
"So both my fiancé (5T3N) and I are Torn players. We were due to be married on Tuesday 26th May this year and due to Covid-19 and myself being in the extremely vulnerable list causing us as a family to shield, we have had to cancel the wedding and push it back a year."
"We are looking to our Torn family and faction to cheer us up on the day for a very much welcomed distraction. As a faction, we might hold a competition, wall or chain (open to suggestions)! I know it's not huge news story to you but it's a massive thing to us! ♥"
What say you, perpetually irritable people of Torn? Shall we do something nice for once and make this couple's delayed big day memorable? Maybe one of the HoF factions will let them guest or chain against them? Perhaps someone wants to lend them a pair of Dual weapons so they can riddle each other with bullets instead of confetti? Or, we could all send them both the symbol gift of $69 dollars.
Do something nice today, if only to make yourself feel less of a berk than usual.
THIS CITY IS S**T
HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN...
Late last month Nemesis of MMCP posted a thread which alerted the community to the existence of Natural Selection Outpost, a single-man faction run by Topsy, whose sole purpose appears to be the holding of a Level 4 Truck Stop. RSE is the territory in question, and you can find it on the northern part of the map in Sector 6 if you fancy a wander out towards hillbilly bumf**k land.

As you can see, this territory is some way from NS's regular holdings in Sector 1, and their ownership of such a valuable racket out on the city's periphery raises some questions. An anonymous citizen contacted The Times to point out that NS's use of an affiliate is interesting given the faction's vocal opposition to the proxy and extortion tactics formerly used by the likes of Relentless.
"For me, this feels worse than extortion just the threat of violence no gain for anyone outside of that faction in way of some form of protection from those extorting them. Let's face it a faction that is extorting another for map perks will help them if they were to be attacked to protect their assets meaning they can remain on the map relatively untouched."
Whether NS are acting hypocritically is of no interest to me. We're all hypocrites, and oh boy isn't it fun! What I'm curious about is why Flatline has chosen to completely surround this territory. Are they allied to NS? Are they playing ring-a-ring-a-roses? Have they got some sort of agreement in place with Stretch's troops if dangers comes-a-knocking? Apparently not, if you are to believe Flatline's leader Zorfar.
"Flatline is independent, and has no interest in being involved in rackets, or protecting rackets for bigger factions... The territories that Flatline is currently holding were previously held by Rising Insanity, who left the area a few weeks ago. Given that the territories yield better respect than what we had, we moved in around the racket."
Pictured: An illegal activity for the foreseeable future.
Zorfar denied there was an arrangement between his side and NS, and further denied that they have ever even held a racket, for themselves, or anyone. My anonymous critic disputes this and claims that Flatline held rackets for Relentless a few months ago before they became a shell of their former selves. Neither party provided any evidence for their claims or counterclaims, and nor did they provide clams, or counterclams, whatever they are.
NS leader Stretch told The Times that this exclave is a one-off situation, and pointed out that the racket was previously held by a single member faction belonging to Subversive Alliance. But in the forums, much of the debate surrounded the legality and morality of a single-player holding such an expensive racket by themselves.
Topsy's activity flatlined in 2018 - how ironic. While he was once an active member of Torn City, some players are concerned that Topsy is now logging in for the sole purpose of helping NS keep their profitable little Truck Stop. Bogie has confirmed that while there is no evidence of unlawful activity so far, he is keeping a close eye on the situation should anything change.
Yet still, the notion that one inactive person can hold such a valuable territory still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth - and Topsy won't even share some of that Taurine to wash it away. It's possible that the authorities may make changes to the territorial system to prevent such a situation from happening again. But in the meantime, some of you might be wondering why another faction hasn't just taken RSE, given that it wouldn't be hard to do so.
The problem is, despite NS Outpost holding just 40,000 respect and one member, only the top 10 Hall of Fame factions would ever challenge for this racket, given the severe retribution NS main would wreak upon them. Perhaps if the faction leaders who piled in on Nemesis' thread were of a more productive mindset, they might be inclined to join forces to do something about this flagrant gaming of the system.
Instead, many were simply content to sling mud at each other and make broad suggestions for game-changing tweaks based entirely on their own goals and desires. It may be that Topsy is entirely innocent in all this, and he simply likes to dip in and out of Torn when he has the time. If Topsy was in a different faction, many of the mud-slingers would've reacted differently to this situation. I would caution our city's leaders against making multi accusations without evidence, lest they look foolish when their own indiscretions come to light.
"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." - Stone Cold Steve Austin, probably.
This biblical advice has sadly come too late for MMCP's Nemesis. This week, some of his faction's top players, including Visage and Trust, were banned permanently... for multiple accounts.
HOROSCOPES ARE ACTUALLY REAL?
TORN'S BIGGEST MISTAKES
RickF got in contact with The Times to tell us how the NSK faction was robbed of $14 billion just recently, with a player called pikachugundam accused of stealing this amount from the faction's vault. RickF went on to say that $9 billion of this belonged to one player, who was reportedly considering quitting in light of these events.
Thankfully, this case has now been resolved, as all the money has been returned by pikachugundam, who claimed to have been hacked. RickF is not so sure about this explanation, and neither are we. Either way, it appears this story has had a happy ending, and this follows in the wake of S-I-S's own pleasurable climax after they accidentally gave $75 billion to Duke last month.
Duke gambled every last cent of that money on black at the roulette table, but luckily for S-I-S, the money was returned by the Casino's Laotian wheel operator Leslie Chanthavong. In light of this fortuitous result, S-I-S has decided to write an article covering some of the most historic mistakes in Torn City, and we would like you to send in your suggestions as to which stories we should include.
Please send your suggestions to Sugarvalves' inbox at your earliest convenience. Preferably now.
WELL ACTUALLY
WEED DUMPED
KrombopulosM became the enemy of stoners everywhere this time last month when he hoarded a huge stash of Cannabis and refused to give it away or sell it cheaply as others had done. KM received a lot of negative attention due to his actions, so he's finally decided it's time to make amends.
"Because I decided to be friendly I have dropped all of my cannabis into the dump for people to find and I’m talking about millions close to billions worth of cannabis, I hope everyone enjoys it I did when I was king of the Weed but now that phase is over on to the next journey."
KM dumped roughly 30-40k items of cannabis, but in doing so he inadvertently opened himself up to further retribution... as a mission target.
"The worst part is that there apparently is a mission where you search the dump and whoever you find an item from you attack them I’ve been attacked 70+ times in the last 4 days."
This is very funny to me.
39TH'S FRENEMIES?
Are 39th Street Killers cosying up to long-time rivals Relentless and MMCP? That's what we've heard on the grapevine lately, but grapevines are found in vineyards, and people get drunk in vineyards, so can you really trust the grapevine? If they were such a reliable source of information, surely Marvin Gaye would've known that his dad was going to shoot him.
Anyway, this unlikely three-way apparently came about back in March, when 39th Street began to attack Animal Kingdom during their war against Relentless and MMCP - much to the confusion of AK's members, who say they did nothing to provoke it. Smurf later claimed that 39th's actions were in response to an attack by Destructive Anomaly against 39th Healers. This claim has since been disputed by an anonymous source within 39th.
"The healrs story was a lie. Pops asked smurf to join the war and he said yes because he wants to make a name for himself now hes replaced tyler. color me dumb when it didnt go well lol."
Smurf was and remains envious of Animal Kingdom's racket holdings, I'm told, and he reportedly felt that if MMCP and Relentless could help him acquire those territories, then it was time to let bygones be bygones. Smurf disputes these claims entirely.
"We were not there to war AK. We were attempting to assault DA. AK decided to involve themselves to prevent 39th from reaching DA. They even tried to negotiate a termed war for 39th to come back and fight DA at a later time which we declined because of all the lies and false promises that AK made prior to the offer." - Smurf
Regardless of the reasons for this war, my mole within 39th says that many of their top members were against it from the outset. And not only do they harbour reservations about Smurf's decision to chum up to their old foes, they also take umbrage with the way the war was handled from a logistical standpoint too, as my mole reveals.
"39th owns a healing faction, that healing faction was doing a contract for someone else and 39th didn't even have heals from its own healing faction. Worst display of leadership I've ever witnessed."
"What actually happened was smurf and the co-lead at the time (M_S_Gamer) didn't make their assault fast enough and they ended up getting blocked by fake walls and had to fight savage plague/honey badgers/EVO and they couldn't get through evo. So they just fought against honey badgers."
"And when they couldn't get through at all, they branded the entire ordeal a 10k chain and sent out a success newsletter that we accomplished what we came to do."
Pictured: This mole just won't shut tf up.
Smurf says that 39th only decided to take two rackets in the area and perform a chain when AK continued to block their progress towards DA. He also refutes the notion that 39th is allied with MMCP, and ever will be. My mole within 39th has shown me screenshots which seems to disprove these claims, but I am unable to share them as they would help to reveal their identity as a real human, and not an actual mole.
One player who was happy to speak on the record is former 39th member Jas, who I contacted last month after ItsZahid outed him as one of the leaders of a secret racket alliance involving Relentless, 39th Street and Subversive Alliance. ItsZahid gave up a great deal of incriminating information in his last few days here, making him very much the opposite of Jeffrey Epstein.
I was curious as to why Jas had left the 39th faction family earlier this year, and wondered if it had anything to do with the rumours I'd heard about trouble brewing within the family. Jas confirmed to me that this was indeed the case, with 39th X reportedly close to leaving if things didn't improve. My source says that by taking up arms against Animal Kingdom, Smurf thought he could reunite the faction. The attack upon 39th's Healers by Destructive Anomaly was allegedly invented as a ruse to cover up Smurf's thirst for animal blood.
Pictured: The results of me Googling "smurf blood" and deciding yep, that'll do.
When Smurf was confronted with this version of events, he did not completely deny that 39th X could have left the family, although he did maintain that it never seemed likely.
"As with any group of factions there are always proposals made, ideas presented, and conversations had. There were several members who had presented an idea for restructuring, however, the owner of 39X and our Faction Leaders agreed to not pursue the proposal any further. To state that 39X was "close to leaving" is a bit of a stretch."

SADISTIC SCAMMER PUNISHED
SadisticBunny was booted from JUX HQ recently after they were found to have scammed an inexperienced player during a trade. Harley told The Times that SB, a company trader, decided to sell one of his companies to a player offering a PI and some cash. Harley continues the story below.
"Thinking the scammer was trustworthy he [the inexperienced player] sent the PI to him, as part of the deal. SadisticBunny then proceeded to block him, leaving the kid helpless. He then contacted me to see if I could solve it. I tried my best to solve the situation amicably, by having bunny send back the private island. Having asked nicely repeatedly, with my words ending in deaf ears, he's left me no choice but to remove him from the faction and brand him a scammer."
This is hardly a major issue which most faction leaders would take the time to solve, so good on Harley for looking after the little guys!
"Honestly, generally I don't care too much about scamming, and the kid is definitely at fault here too, but seeing how it was one of my faction members abusing the inexperience of some poor kiddo I felt like stepping in."
"Even Leslie is good enough to fix mistakes like that for players!"
LOTTERY MUGGER OUTED
Remember the story about a lottery winner who was mugged by a member of their own faction? Me neither, but apparently we published something about it in the last local news rundown. It turns out that this story also has a happy ending, and then a sad one immediately afterwards, as Thepeanutz reveals.
"Diplomacy rules the day as Angcam’s mugger agrees to repay the money stolen in full, only to lose it all just before reimbursing. Was he scammed? Was it stashed for safekeeping in high-value items that show low networth? Will we ever learn the truth behind this scandal?"
Yes, we will. Angcam belongs to We Are Rising. His factionmate, George_1000, admitted to the mugging when he contacted the Torn City Times this week.
I was the one that mugged him... I have received A LOT of hate from Angcam and others ('why you mugging allies?!", "don't mug faction mems", etc); just to clarify: YES, I intentionally mugged him becuz he won the lotto. NOOOO, I did not realise he was in my faction. I AM NOT a cold-hearted, faction ally mugging, half breed, but rather an intuitive player trying to make his way off someone who might have a little too much."
George_1000 told The Times that he did intend on paying Angcam back, but before he could he got a taste of his own medicine. George arranged to buy plushies from a player called Narendra_Modi, with the intention of turning them in on Museum Day. But Narendra_Modi, who is also a member of We Are Rising, scammed George_1000 out of the cash, something his networth graph seemingly proves.
However, there appears to be no chance of getting this money back from Narendra_Modi now, as he reportedly lost it all in the casino on the same day that he scammed it from George_1000. And we can't even ask Narendra_Modi whether this is true or not, given that...
"He offered me his account so I got him fedded."
Is this the end to the story of the lottery mugger? If you can prove that Narendra_Modi's cash made its way to somewhere other than the Casino, the Torn City Time has a healthy reward for you.
Although I guess the real story here, with three members of the same faction involved in a triumverate of screw-overy, is what the actual **** is going on in We Are Rising?
Pictured: All of these hands contain someone else's money.
Here at Torn, we're trying to avoid mentioning "da rona" as much as possible, because every other part of the internet is drenched in references to that stupid jerk of a virus that's stopping us all getting haircuts right now. However, I felt that the following story sent in by Warly_Woo was worth a mention anyway.

"We are looking to our Torn family and faction to cheer us up on the day for a very much welcomed distraction. As a faction, we might hold a competition, wall or chain (open to suggestions)! I know it's not huge news story to you but it's a massive thing to us! ♥"
