Hello guys, SharpMid here!
An important part of Torn is marriage, you get tons of merits and even the opportunity of living in your partners house which often turns out to be a PI so there is tons of benefits of Torn marriage.
A problem with Torn is that you don't meet your spouse irl so there is not much love to be given other than using mails and the chat so how does Torn marriages even last? I have conducted an interview with one of the most known couple of Torn which is Lane and Tracy which we all know from global.
I was curious how they made their marriage last so long and if they plan to take it from Torn city to another city perhaps.. The interview was conducted under the supervision of the one and only wolf of Torn and he wanted to ask a question to poor Lane which sounded like this: "Lane you're keeping Tracy on a leash and I'm here to break that leash" to which Lane responded: "You can't have her, she is my bitch". This brings up some questions to how this marriage actually works. Is Lane actually the wifebeater like the rumors say?
I asked Lane and Tracy about this and it seems that they are planning to take their marriage to reallife even though they have never met or seen eachother in reallife. When interviewing Lane and Tracy I made some notes and that is that Lane often responds when Tracy gets asked questions and she rarely gets to voice her own oppinions.. This seemed strange to me so I asked Tracy if she is happy and how Lane treats her to which she responded with kind of a sad tone "Wherever Lane goes I go.. *sigh*". This just didn't sound right to me but since they have one of the logest lasting marriages of Torn we have to take some notes.
What can we learn out of this?
Well so if you keep your Torn spouse on a TIGHT leash and don't let him/her do whatever he/she wants and basically treat your spouse as a slave you will actually have a lasting Torn marriage. This is good to know for all of us new players out there that have trouble staying with the stronger members and keep your PI bonuses. Join the club and become a wifebeater!
