sugarvalves [1963573] — With Torn's Employee Appreciation event just a few days away, read our guide on how to use this event efficiently, whether you're an employer or an employee! Are you one of Torn's jobless layabout scumbags? Don't worry, you are far from alone, as almost half of the city is now registered as unemployed.

Kelsie [340367] — Find out how Kelsie's newbie giveaway scheme has helped hundreds of new Torn players, and how you can get involved too as a donator or recipient! A little over a year ago my friend Lexa came up with an idea to create a newbie starter pack. Torn's citizens begin their life in the city with nothing but a shack to their name, and while George and the tutorials are there to point you in the right direction of some guns and ammo, there are a few useful items that elude most new players for the first few weeks at least. I thought that Lexa's starter pack of essential items was a great idea, as it would give newbies the best possible chance of surviving and sticking around in Torn City. I tweaked it to include things that would benefit and kickstart a new torn player’s gameplay, and thus, my Newbie Starter Pack Giveaway Thread was born. And now I'm going to tell you how you can get involved! Pictured: A welcome parcel to the friendliest city on the intern...
