So yesterday I woke up in the middle of my sleep to take a huge piss
But literally the first thing that came to mind was to check my drug cooldown

And so I did I popped a Xanax and tried to go back to sleep
But then I saw I had a full nerve bar and did some crimes, played some poker, lost some cash and totally f**ked my sleep

Do I have a problem with this game?
Am I addicted or something?

Please tell me someone else has also done shit like this cuz I think im going insane

I mean its only my third day here but this chart is scaring the shit out of me

Waiting in a queue in front of the store?
No problem, pop in from mobile and do some crimes

Bored and got some free time?
Play poker or mug some motherf**kers

Waiting for your homie to show up for 20 minutes even tho he said he'll be there in like 5?
No worries, go on the forums and talk some shit

Cant sleep at night?
Check if you can pop a pill and go back to sleep

Seriously whats up with this game and why cant I stop playing it?
I know its supposed to be more of a passive game or whatever but theres so much shit to do

I dont wanna let my nerve or energy go to waste so I log all the time to spend some

Should I quit for a while or what?
How can I play this game more passively without worrying about my points going to waste or missing a drug timer etc?

Im literally like a teenage girl glued to my mobile phone 24/7, checking whats up in Torn

I know I cant be the only one doing shit like this

Ahaha I woke up at 4 am today to drink some water but j popped a xan first and used all my energy/nerve. But I went right back to sleep. Maybe consider a casino ban?

hardcore players

- cum early during sex, just incase someone knocked u off the wall

- tell ur boss u got the shits, cause ur faction needs u during the raid

- play 16 hours nonstop and when u need to piss or shit take ur mobile with u on toilet, u never know

- use deodorant when u stink like a pig instead of showerring, unless ur mobile is waterproof ofcoarse

- not responding to ur name TOM anymore, only Kras gets ur attention....briefly

so dont worry ur fine ;) haha

Try to establish a schedule or rhythm such that you worry less and it doesn’t impact sleep. We’ve all been consumed by the game at one point. As long as you’re enjoying it, embrace it. If it’s causing you grief, don’t let the fear of missing out bother you. TORN will still be here in two hours, and tomorrow, and the day after that.

ok ok seems like im not the only one
ill try not to worry so much about drug timers and get my sleep

but how do I cope knowing some insomniac motherf**ker is always going to have an advantage over me?

I've just got the 1,000 hrs of playtime in torn merit in less than 100 days. My stats really showed me that I am active like 10hrs-12hrs per day.

I am trying to slow it down for now though, as I already started to feel burned out

Hope you can too, or else you will feel the same as me sooner or later

Dude this game is a marathon, not a sprint, u don’t need to be on it 24/7 and trying to be the best in such a short amount of time. Just stop worrying about this shit and live ur life man
Scarley [2261969]
Not only the insomniac. Tons of ppl have an advantage for a variety of reasons. Play your game.

If you're looking to even the playing field, sub/donor status is a great place to start.

If you wake up in the middle of the night and see that your drug cooldown has ended, don't take a xan. Go to bed despite it. Get your priorities fixed.
