sugarvalves [1963573] — Love Juice effects reduced for 2021. Violence and high activity expected between 13th-15th. Shipments of Love Juice expected by The Docks. Valentine's Competitions announced. The effects of Love Juice will kick in at noon on Saturday the 13th of February, thus beginning 48 hours of carnage that will leave thousands wounded, factions broke, and Torn's hospital staff in desperate need of a spa day. Pictured: I googled "nurses in a hot tub" but the image was unsuitable for a PG-13 audience. When taken during the Valentine's Event, Love Juice reduces the cost of attacking or reviving by 10 energy, while also providing a 50% and 25% boost to Speed and Dexterity respectively. As we mentioned in the Torn City Times last month, Love Juice has been diluted this year, having previously reduced your attacking and reviving energy costs by 15.

sugarvalves [1963573] — Incredible final race sees Storm1968 leap from third to first to claim his maiden crown. Data, ToxicMonkeyMZC take second, third. Soybean, graphics, prediction, and prize race winners announced. Storm1968 secured the 2021 Ultimate Racing Tournament Winter Rally title last night with a dramatic victory in the final race at Stone Park. Storm1968 went into the rally's final race in third position, 18 seconds behind ToxicMonkeyMZC in second, and 32 seconds behind Data in first. This situation meant that Storm1968 would need to finish the Stone Park race over half a minute ahead of the city's top-ranked driver to take the title, while also beating ToxicMonkeyMZC, our third-ranked driver, by more than 14 seconds. And he only went and f***ing did it. Storm's time of 26:10.42 was an astonishing 14 seconds faster than t1me in second place. But the nature of the rally format meant that the only comparison worth making was how Storm's time stacked up aga...
