I just found the first player i've seen in my nearly two years that is in the same area as me. While i'm not terribly surprised, it makes me wonder if anyone has ever met another torn player irl or organized a regional torn player meet up.

honest there's a little of everything

i've known people to get married, i know people who've pretended to be female for years and to this day people still think they're a guy, i know people who've divorced and people who've gotten together for group events, i know people who've traveled places to meet one another just as friends and i know of one semi famous person who plays this game

there really is a wide number of people who play torn who do things which you wouldn't expect and after a number of years it doesn't really become surprising

OT to OP, yes people have met irl - i know the staff community do this and you could argue that hydr0 and clansy married through torn but i know of others who have also, i also know that bogie met with pixie in shanghai recently (if they kept up) and i myself have plans of meeting my hubby down in norway once my time at uni is over :)

as for meeting up with randoms, not a chance.. it'd be similar to a tumblr or 4chan gathering i can imagine

edit: who'd have though using "i know" so many times looks a little idiotic.

Hell yea I'd be down for a meetup. I already know of atleast 8 people in the Baltimore/Washington region that I would actually want to meet up with, and more I wouldn't want to meet haa haa.

Alot of my Brothers friends play torn and i have talked to them before about torn, so i know quite a few who play(my hubby is actually a 45 minute drive from where i live), But i'd never go out of my way and meet anyone from torn for some event, i like to keep my game life and real life away from each other.

I have rl friends that play torn, but I haven't met actually someone in rl who happens to play torn. It would be quite the shocker. I always wonder how I would react if I saw someone randomly playing torn on their phone... I did find random people in torn that seem to have an IP similar to mine; I'd send then a msg and inquire about their whereabouts but they have not responded :/


I'd love to go to a torn meet/event if it was near where I live. I live next to Ottawa, right on the border or Québec/Ontario in Canada. Sadly, I don't think there are many people that play torn in around there.



Thanks,
V.

Hipster - My best friend (and his husband is too olithewolli24, both live near me)
elves_samtron - my ex gf until she moved back to Malaysia.
Barka - my town, a friends bf
Fibre - same town, knows my baby mother
jakeyboi101 - a friend who I recently discovered played

I'd happily meet people. But where I'm from is little so won't be many here, or probably close areas either like Hull, Scarborough etc

Hahahaha. Twice for me.

About... 3-4 Months ago in Europe.
and 1 years ago in Asia.. Beetween Thailand and Malaysia.. I forget.
The above is come from a player that I know when I'm joining Torn.

Nice experience.

If I had a chance to do that again.
I would do that again.

I drag some people from my old favourite forums.

We know each other like a family but rarely visit each other place.

Except me....."umm maybe" When I'm around that region.
I always find a spare moment to do that.

Its fun. I get some interesting tips/ hint concerning the area that I didn't know.
I'm sorry if someone read this. They are an excellent guide. ^_^

Edit : When I didn't know the native language of the place I'm visiting or not very fluent.
Some trader/ street merchant raise their initial price. Happen very often for me.

Lol. I like how the majority says no. I can understand why: people playing this are from all ages and backgrounds. It would be kind of weird to meet people that you regularly mug and hospitalize, even if it's just a game.
513437 [513437]

O.o i would never meet with the vast majority of torn people...it would be hideously awkward, wouldnt go to a vidcon style meetup either. Still select peoplte I would meet though - I like suprising peeps with the fact im secretly a man...goes down a treat!





Hades [1728299]

I heard a few of the guys met. I know Evil Duck drove miles to have a fight with one of the guys a while back but was stood up. lmao
bogie [148747] Admin Staff

I love that people believed that xD Also ED you sonofabitch you rejected our last meet up! Karty and I were looking forward to shooting you with paintballs <.<

OT though: I've done a lot of meeting up with Torn people, locally, across the country and even across the world. I've met Clansy, Hydro, bl0ndie, Chaos_Greg, Wayne, Karty, Becceh, Plornt, Kluke/Apples/Whatever he calls himself these days, MaxHeadRoom, MissL all from Torn without having known them outside of the game before. Meeting Torn peoples is great! I'm even staying with someone from Torn right now :o
