If you are expecting people in a role playing game to represent themselves as they are in reality, you will have a bad time. However, if you enjoy the RP aspects of games such as Torn and roll with it, you will have a lot of fun.

Just as in RL, you have to be vigilant against scammers, both those looking to take your cash and those who seek to steal your heart.

Torn is probably not the best place to meet people for RL romance although I'm sure it has happened before.

What I think is they're using people's naivety and stupidity for money or attention they'd not get otherwise. The problem aren't as much the people doing it as the people falling for it. Guessing we just let the natural selection do it's thing, can't make a screen pregnant luckily.

Didn't they teach you the rule of thumb for internet?

If its a guy, Its a guy
If its a girl, its a guy
If its a kid, its the FBI

I don't know whats sadder, the basement dwellers pretending to be females or the welps that attach themselves to them.

Loves: free stuff and gifts
Hates: pervs and weirdos
but here's a close up pic of my tits hanging out for strangers to admire.

Profit?

We all know there is no such things as girls on the internet.

But aside from this people do use games like this to take a break from the demands of real life.

Example as staff I got to know one of the most well known scammers at the time. He played the role of an absolute scum bag who gave zero f**ks. You then compare this to his real life (which he kept very secretive) and you find he was a top high court lawyer, super f**king intelligent, who just needed something to get away from the expectation of who and what he must be in real life and the pressures that he faced day to day.
