sugarvalves [1963573] — Massive hospital boost provided on final event day of the year. Faction violence and crime increase expected. Medical supplies and revive prices set to plummet. Torn citizens have been warned that they can expect a day of unbridled violence this Wednesday, as a temporary initiative by the Torn City Hospital looks set to slash hospital waiting times by up to 75%. Pictured: The bad kind of Slash For the duration of Wednesday 12th of December - now known as Slash Wednesday - the staff of TCH will work four times faster in an attempt to get patients out of the door as soon as humanly possible. For example, while being hospitalised during a fight would usually send you to the hospital for around four hours, on Slash Wednesday you'll be fine and dandy in just over one. Likewise, a single Xanax overdose typically leads to a stay of several days, but on the 12th, such incidents may require no more than 24 hours to treat in full. The purpose behind this day of ex...

BeerDrinker [2140025] — Key figures from Insurgency and JFK speak to the Torn City Times to explain their alliances, intentions and their Dirty Bomb ambitions. The leaders of several JFK-allied factions have told Torn City Times of their displeasure regarding our recent article on the formation of the Insurgency alliance, suggesting this group is much stronger than it claims to be, amid reports its members have been pestering other factions to join in with their cause. Pictured: Explosiony times await us all. "They've been begging all sorts of factions for weeks. I would not hold your breath on 4 factions involved...

Other reported allies of ...

ArttiIsGod [1954421] — Hello and welcome to the Torn City Times Crossword! December has arrived and so has snow - please, stay away from the yellow kind, it is tangy and will sting your eyes. Now then, I have an apology to make to all of you this week, because it seems some people in our newspaper office have become too excited about making a crossword. They've gone and made one that contains 106 clues. We are so sorry. Please forgive us. But before we wade through clues and conundrums, let's first look at last week's results. The correct answer to our previous puzzle was "Hmm, human music, I like it." which is a reference to Rick and Morty. I knew a guy who always said "Hmm" and I always felt compelled to respond "Human music, I like it." Anyway, s**t story over. The first human to answer correctly was colaman32 , and the second person to answer correctly was -Grey- . They both receive two feathery hotel coupons. Kaceybee and Neeko were th...

sugarvalves [1963573] — Why was CT released early? When will the editor be available? And what can we expect from this year's Christmas Town? Find out now, or don't; your choice. Every year Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier, and given last week's shenanigans, it seems Torn City is no exception, after a drunken, emotional Chedburn pressed the big release button for Christmas Town several weeks early. In a definitely official statement to the Torn City Times, Chedburn blamed a particularly emotional episode of Strictly Come Dancing for the error, and expressed his intention to make Christmas Town extra special to make up for it. Pictured: The result of three white wine spritzers and half of one of those big bottles of Bacardi Breezer. After the children of Torn got to peek at their presents early, Chedburn worked swiftly to remedy the situation, explaining via an official announcement that the game was in mid-development and due for release around December 18th....

Valandes [2023976] — Find out what happened to Torn Medical, where this faction came from, and who is leading it now in this exclusive report from its former leader Valandes. Torn Medical has made the headlines lately following its purchase in full by JFA leader Stretch . This faction of revivers was previously part-owned by Meanmike of Chain Reaction , who eventually agreed to sell his shares when news of CR's involvement in an anti- JFK alliance was announced. JFA are themselves allied to JFK, and this meant that a continued partnership between the two men was deemed untenable. However, this transaction and its aftermath were far from straightforward, as I, Valandes , the former leader of Torn Medical will now explain. First, I must agree with some commentators that Torn Medical was never a proper faction. TM was more like a sub-faction, or a medieval vassal, in that it always served the purposes of others ahead of its own. I was installed as leader by Meanmike when I was ...
