It was my first elimination, I had no idea what to expect, and I had an absolute blast. We might not have had the strongest team in terms of stats, but we were hard-headed and stubborn and I love us for that. Thanks to every one of you crazy Cowboys. I thoroughly enjoyed the weird conversations, the sometimes strange motivational tactics, and the energy and synergy we had. Our leadership team deserves many kudos for possibly not sleeping ever and keeping us going. It was definitely an experience to remember. Until next time, Cowpokes!

Well if you still think stat is everything in elimination, then ofc you will be shocked. Team effort and activity is much more important, something you will learn once you will enter the elimination with your huge stats.


And by the way, your lack of experience and knowlede, just makes you look rediculous! The only reason we survived all those teams was that we HAD fighters and worked as a team, something you will never understand hiding in the gym.

Was using energy to fight alongside a badass team of ass kicking cowboys worth it?!?

Damn right! The gym is open year round, and the opportunity of taking up arms with complete strangers in order to achieve a single goal was worth every can, FHC, refill, xanax, bloodbag, grenade, and bullet.

I've been in several Elimination competitions, and this crew was/is one of my favorites!!! It was a blast working with everyone!

I had fun fighting alongside everyone. We got stuck at the bottom and took two teams down in the fight. Good job ya'll. I look forward to next year! :)

I'm going to say this once, and I don't care what outside sources say because they weren't in our elimination chat, or forums and they weren't in our discord to ever be correct on whatever half ass assumption they have to say.

Our team was by far the strongest, we were under a lot of pressure from day one and unfortunately being targetted by four teams constantly, it took a toll in the end, as all teams will.

Other teams fell faster than a fat kid running with two icecreams in their hand. I want to say despite all the shit circumstances, that didn't change the people's motivation. They say diamonds are made from pressure, and a lot of players new and old were outstanding. Tensions were high being at the bottom, but many of us didn't give up. High stats don't necessarily make a good member, a good attitude does.

Our leaders weren't dictators, they didn't pitch a promised land if we won. But they were our friends, and sometimes it doesn't matter if we win or not, because I'd rather lose and have had kind, motivated leaders to remember than win in a dictatorship that made us feel like pawns. We didn't win, but we won friends, people that will definitely want to work with each other in future and breathed a new life into torn that would've not been if we hadn't all picked the Yeehaw team.

I know I banged on with the strat hour after hour, but I saw people's dedication to turning up. I saw how people took the time to participate, the time to explain to newer members, the time to laugh and to entertain and most of all, the time to stick with us when things got tough.

I'd like to thank everyone who didn't give up and fought to the end. Our time wasn't wasted and we didn't cheat, backstab or lie. We played the game like it was meant to be played and it was a pleasure coaching and repeating things 9000 times to such honorable cowboys.

not even a year old here in Torn, and you're calling people names over a post that you don't agree on?

buck up, shit boy

Thank you, but none of Cowboy leadership would have been able to get as far as we did without each and every contributing Cowboy. They all deserve a stiff drink and a slap on the back, as we were the team that did a lot of the knit and gritty fighting for our alliance, despite being dealt a lot of non contributors and assholes.

To every Cowboy that gave it their all: I’ll tip my hat to you. We made it this far, it’s something to be proud of considering the circumstances. I’d be happy to fight alongside any of you next year.

I think I we done well considering we were targeted majority of the competition.
Early stages I decided only a few people in our team would know about our alliances, the idea was we never wanted and leaks from our end getting it, it eventually worked as the other side of the alliance out of nowhere decided to stop hitting us for a brief couple of days (was told they no longer thought we had any alliances) our game plan was simple, we had a 6 way alliance, we could have been the last 6 teams if we done it right, after that the plan was to 5v1 LJ and see what damage we could do. This plan obviously f**ked up as trolls and mills flipped to begin with.

Some people may say we were stupid to not flip aswell however in the end, the only teams that end up being straight up with our team and kept to there word in every way was the teams we stuck with. I'm a bit gutted I didn't have more time towards the end there as RL stuff got in the way however proud of alot of people for the effort that was put in :)
