Read all this and more in this roundup of the latest local news. LOGISTICS WORKERS TOP CHART Workers at the Logistics Management companies are the highest paid in Torn City, according to a new set of statistics recently released by Chedburn to the Torn City Times. Based on the median pay of every employee in every industry, Logistics Management companies top the charts with an incredible $3 million per day. Television Networks are close behind in second with a median pay of $2 million, followed by Mining Corporations on $1,750,000.

All of this information will be used to determine which industries are most likely to be boost...

sugarvalves [1963573] — World Population Day event altered to promote aggression in Torn. Citizens expected to "have a f***ing good tear-up" from Wednesday until Friday. The Torn City authorities have this week approved the mass slaughter of Torn’s citizens in an attempt to curb the city’s rapidly growing population, with special bonuses on offer for those who brutalise, mince or pulp their fellow Tornians into hot man-custard. Pictured: Have at it, folks. Torn’s population has grown massively in recent years, and on May 3rd of this year, the city’s total number of active citizens topped 30,000 for the first time in almost a decade - the last occasion this happened was in September 2010. But while Torn’s burgeoning populace was a cause for celebration last year, mass migration to our fair city has taken its toll, with everyone sick and tired of low item supplies, competition for wages and the gross indignity of having to queue for things. As a result, the Torn City authori...

sugarvalves [1963573] — Find out how to enter, how to win, and how to avoid being a creepy little pervert over the next few weeks. The annual Mr and Ms Torn competition returns this Friday, with citizens able to begin uploading their creative and captivating images from 5 pm Torn City Time on the 5th of July. There have been no changes made to the format of this event from last year, but if you’re new to our city, Mr and Ms Torn is basically a massive popularity contest, with one male and one female crowned by the public on the basis of their attractiveness, creativity or hilarity. Pictured: Some logo I nicked off the internet which makes this competition look way classier than it actually is. From Friday, players can submit a picture to either the Mr or Ms Torn competition which they think will get players to vote for them. You may decide to pull a sexy pose, or perhaps you’ll try to depict some kind of funny scene involving a burning warehouse. Either way, your image must include ...

sugarvalves [1963573] — Points stabilise after year-long slump. First Logistics company Contraband hauls revealed. Energy and happy supplies set to rise in price, as are Beer Kegs and Business Class Tickets. July is one of the busiest months in terms of Torn booster events, with two running this month and another coming at the beginning of August. Some traders are already preparing for the eventual demand these events will create, while others are attempting to make sense of the latest changes to the pawn shop point price. Either way, July will be a hectic month for both traders and customers, so if you want to save yourself some dosh this summer, read our June Market Report. POINTS STABILISE After twelve months of constant depreciation, the price of points finally settled last month, with a value of $46,600 remaining in place for most of June. Iribuya told the Times that "The pawn shop had one reduction in buybacks, but that was not major enough for people to panic. I've b...

Frinzell [1776252] — In this week's edition of Faction Focus, we take a look at a young faction who are gaining a reputation for training crack squads of political assassins. The Organised Crime (OC) Political Assassination (PA) is the pinnacle of criminal achievement for any faction. If you can form a team of four outstanding criminals, successful PA's can earn your faction up to $300,000,000 and 300 respect in just over a week. And in addition to a share of the proceeds, the criminals involved also gain valuable crime experience (CE); this CE gain is the highest skill gain presently possible in Torn. Every faction would like to be able to perform this crime successfully on a regular basis, but few manage to do so, and those who do are often older and quite experienced. In Evolution, we are now able to perform 10 or more successful Political Assassinations per week just one year after our formation. In this faction focus article, I, Frinzell, will tell you how we achieved t...
