Often times in this game people come across real asshats that just wont let up on them. They bounty you for weeks and months and years. Not to mention they are usually higher level players that can attack every second they see you online and make it very difficult for you to do anything in this game.


Therefore...My suggestion is a White Flag.


This is an item that can be sold for either 250 points in the points building or maybe for real cash in the donator section.


The purpose of a White Flag, is that when used would prevent the player from being attacked.
The stipulations of using the flag would be that the player can not be in a faction and if they were to attack someone the flag would be dropped with a 72 hour cool down period before being able to use it again.
This is my permanent White flag suggestion...Once purchased, it would be able to be used over and over.


My temporary White Flag suggestion is that there be three types of them sold in the city ( Perhaps Big Al's) The first would protect you from attacks for 24 hours, the second for 3 days and the third for 7 days. Each would sell for 10m, 20m and50m...with cool downs twice the length of there worth. Meaning the 24hour white flag would have a cool down of 48 hours before you could use another one...etc. These would be temporary items that would need to be purchased over and over.

AMENDED:
The White Flag would stop all attacks for 60 minutes and can only be used once per day.

The pricing and method of sale is to be determined by the developers...I only wish to create a way to let people breath! I am about to quit this game because I am being suppressed to a point I can't even play. I have to wonder how many people before me have left for the same reasons.
The White Flag...would give people a chance to catch their breath...or in the more permanent option...away to play the game without having to be involved in the war and fighting aspects of it all.


Please vote on this suggestion...but also comment on which form of this you think would be the best option.
Either one works for me...but I believe the more permanent option would bring more players that want to play the game for all it has to offer beyond the fighting.

Not sure this is needed. A lesson in manners would suffice in your predicament. If this white flag was indeed created guys like you would continue talking cash money shit to people. Sometimes a person's mouth can write a check their ass can't cash. Good luck in your endeavors Bobby.

"The first would protect you from attacks for 24 hours, the second for 3 days and the third for 7 days." Excuse me sir w h a t .

100% mug protection doesn't even last that long and you want 100% attack protection bro the audacity.

Maybe it could be argued to have one that lasts like 5-10 minutes so you can train/crime/fly, but maybe only once a day, kinda like refills? Maybe.

And this is from a person who got attacked an unusually high number of times today.
Fishbum [2009144]
No. Please no. This would make all forms of mugging irrelevant and destroy large part of the game. Maybe the OP needs to learn how to interact with others without pissing them off.

I have calmed down a lot...This guy is acting out on something that happened two and a half years ago. I tried to be civil and apologize but he doesn't want to hear it. He just wants to push someone else out of the game.
No one ever said I was a model citizen...that is not what this is about.

When I joined Torn...they advertise it as a game you can play the way you wish to play it. That is complete rubbish. I like the game for buying and selling companies...running them at times. Racing, Playing poker, Buying and selling properties, trading items and of course Christmas town...
None of those things have anything to do with attacking and fighting. So, I think a White Flag is a good idea for those who wish to play the many other aspects of the game without having to deal with the "I'm bigger and stronger therefore I make the rules" aspect of it...
This suggestion should be considered as a way that people can play the game without being bullied by those that just like to hate and want to push everyone out that is not of their own mindset.

here's a much more brilliant version of your idea:
  • Activate from Points Building for 100 points
  • Duration: 60 mins
  • Effect: Reduce all hospital times by 75%, but you instantly lose all attacks initiated against you

Get into a company that prevents bounties.

Socialise and you will find you can have backup. As unsociable as I am I do have considerable attack strength from my personal allies, that I have never used despite getting into fights at times with entire factions vs just me.

Train train and keep training. Set a timer for when your xanax cool down finishes and when your natural energy replenshes. Keep training consistently. If I really had the mind to keep playing I estimated time for me to overtake a couple of fools would be 6 months. Your enemy will notice you getting stronger bit by bit.

yes it is, it mitigates a massive amount of damage with some work

what you are asking for currently is a full invulnerability shield which will never happen

BxxkAxxeyBxb has placed a bounty on you with a reward of $5 and the reason: I hope he dies in real life!

And this is a perfect example of why to not talk shit and run to babydaddy Ched for help. I disguised the identity to keep her safe from other people they may wish to hit her in the head with a brick. Just don't be a asshole and try to work things out. Don't talk smack then block people and complain like a princess. Stop being a drama diva.... pretty sure this is a game. Just my .02
