Travel Changes For Torn Citizens

sugarvalves [1963573] — Regular Torn features now available when visiting foreign nations. Sidebar introduced to all travel destinations. Inactivity duration for hidden status increased to one week. A recent announcement by Chedburn has revealed that restrictions have been lifted on the activities Torn citizens can perform when visiting foreign countries. Prior to this change, Torn citizens were limited to attacking and shopping in foreign destinations. The only exceptions to this were nations with special features, such as Switzerland, South Africa, and the Caymans, where you could enter rehabilitation, hunt animals, or invest money. These activities are still possible, but citizens can now do a few other useful things when travelling abroad. For example, Torn's tourists can now monitor their life, energy, nerve, and happiness bars while abroad, as most elements of the sidebar are now accessible regardless of your location. This may seem like a minor change, but since the degra...

The Spying Game

Hogfather [330973] — Lawyers, give em' an inch and they'll bring a city to it's knees. With the release of Ranked Warring, they've taken that inch and turned it into a country mile. I hear you need a spy? "View another player’s battle stats.” Spies are one of the oldest abilities in the game. Back in Torn's early days, the ability to discover your opponent's battle stats was a really powerful tool. But over much of the past decade, spies have become less of a necessity, as there are few situations where you need to know the precise value of someone's dexterity, defense, strength, and speed. As a result, the demand for stat spies diminished, as did the value of this service. And then Ranked Warring went live, and suddenly, spies were in demand again… Big demand. I, Spy For those who haven't purchased them before, Spies cost 10-15 job points a time, and while they can be performed by 5* TV Network employees for 15 points, most are provided by 3* La...

Word Search 18

Pixie- [2342246] — Solve our word search for a chance to win donator packs - and don't worry, this puzzle is shorter than the last one! So it seems that bigger is not always better - at least when it comes to crosswords. Our previous puzzle published at the end of January was our largest yet, and it appears that many of you were stumped because we only received 16 entries! And yet again, we've had one guy write in to tell us that he fell out with his wife after getting stuck. The Torn City Times bears no responsibility for any divorces caused by our puzzles. Here are some of our favourite comments on January's megacrossword: Lots of devious non-answers on the board in this one! That one was a doozy! Nice job hiding some tricky words in there as red herrings to get me off the trail! Sandal, bow tie, valves… those kept me guessing. It was fun! The clue about the weapon to be released really stumped me... I had to simply find it in the wordsearch without knowing the clue. ...

Six Days. Six Bombs.

sugarvalves [1963573] — Six factions targeted with Dirty Bombs in six days. TiredSaladlego admits responsibility for six attacks and explains their motives. Further bombs suspected. Likely target list leaked to The Times. On March the 12th, TiredSaladlego finally made good on her word and began her much anticipated dirty bombing campaign with a strike against PT-Family. A second Dirty Bomb attack would take place several hours later, with four more detonated over the coming days. TiredSaladlego has accepted responsibility for five of these bombs - her involvement in the sixth is suspected, not yet proven - but as the radioactive dust settles there are still questions to be asked. Why did she target these factions? How did it affect them? Will the victims retaliate? And are there more bombs to come? Larger Link Bomb #1 Bomb number one detonated at the headquarters of PT-Family just after 2am TCT on the 12th of March. This bomb took 607,652 of PT's hard-earned chaining respect ...
