What were the most memorable events of the past year? Submit your suggestions and help future Torn citizens relive the experiences of a year that will go down in infamy.
There have been many memorable events in the history of Torn City, from massive muggings and forum meltdowns, through to major wars and faction vault scams. Some of these incidents are personal, such as when Big__Al nuked Gareth Bale into oblivion, or that time Champion ruined someone's book use. Other events are experienced game-wide, like when Duke scammed billions out of people via the forums, or Kapten-Klitoris was banned from Torn and everyone's day got better in an instant.
Sadly, some of these incidents have been forgotten, and many events yet to pass will also be lost to time - unless we do something about it. That's why I'd like to invite your contributions to a new project I'm putting together called Diary of the Year. The premise is simple. I am going to create a newspaper article which attempts to list every notable incident that occurred in Torn this year. And I want you to use the newspaper's Tell Your Story feature to submit your suggestions.
The plan is that once I have enough responses, I can build a timeline of events which we can look back on in future years and laugh, cry, or feel aggressively ambivalent about. Please ensure that any events you send are described in no more than 50 words, and are broadly interesting enough that most people would have some interest in reading about them. Your faction's 2,500 chain may be all that you've talked about this year, but does the averagely-irradiated man in the street care?
To ensure I can compile this diary quickly and accurately, please submit your events to the Tell Your Story section only. Make sure you write DOTY in the title, followed by the month in which the event took place. Do not include multiple events in the same post, and please only post three separate events to me at most. Here are a few examples of something you might send:
DOTY: April
The faction Unrelenting was deleted and a number of its members and leadership team placed in federal jail after evidence of multiple account activity and real-money trading was discovered. It was later revealed that leader itsZahid and co-leader Pachico had conspired to sell the faction for real world cash.
DOTY: May
Members of Natural Selection enforce a quarantine in Mexico, Canada, The Caymans, and Hawaii during Cinco de Mayo. This was the third-time NS had quarantined a foreign nation. Torn Medical was later revealed to have struck an exclusive revive contract with NS to assist the victims.
DOTY: November
Penicillin won Dog Tags 2020 and in doing so retained his 2019 title. Penicillin equalled his record score of 42,682 points. Shuka took second for the third year in a row. Z_junior secured a personal best of third.
While I understand many people will have opinions that differ regarding certain events, please try to be as objective as you can when submitting your entries. Where multiple entries are received regarding the same incident, I will use the various accounts to write an unbiased version. You may also include links to forum posts or newspaper articles for those interested in further reading.
There is no time limit on this project, but I hope to complete it sometime in January. After this, I would encourage all players to send me entries throughout the year, so that I can complete 2021's Diary of the Year as we go along - I may use a GD thread to compile this depending on how well the project works. Feel free to use the forums and newspaper articles to jog your memory regarding certain events. I look forward to receiving your submissions!
INSTRUCTIONS
1.) Think of an event which was famous in Torn this year.
2.) Write down a 50 word summary of the event.
3.) Send it to Tell Your Story with the title DOTY: (month)
