EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA The big news in the world of eggs is the imminent introduction of a new Purple Egg for this year's event.

NOTE: THIS ARTICLE WAS AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE YOU GREAT BIG SILLIES Last week’s Patch List was notable for the inclusion of the new Dark Mode feature and the provision of a filterable and greatly expanded activity log. However, one change that was left off the list due to a slight delay in its development was the addition of an IQ score to all players’ personal stats. This is a change that we at Torn City Times have nicknamed Dork Mode. IQ scores were added to Torn’s long list of player metrics with little fanfare late on Wednesday night, and only a handful of players have picked up on this feature since. Those who did notice this new attribute have been wondering precisely what IQ scores do, as well as how they are generated. Let’s find out.
