I have loads of people who helped me with this game from beginning and even now!

1) Smokey123 - He was the helper who sent me my first torn mail and explained some stuff

2) Wookard - He was the first real mentor i have had in game. He explained literally everything from tornstats to torntools and tornpda. He gave me my first set of weapons, my 2nd set of weapon and starter cash. Also helped me with literally every query for a long while. I will always be grateful to him as long as i play.

3) Anonymous - This is all the anonymous people who send me 500k, 100k , 1m in the beginning. Sadly i don't know your name but i am nonetheless much much thankful for your generosity.

4) Backstabbath - I won a mentorship competition he did and received xanaxs and donator pack from him which helped me out a bit. I was in a very bad place irl and in torn during that time and was almost thinking of quitting. But Wham! Out of a sudden i got a message from him that you have won my giveaway and i am sending you some stuff. The stuff was good but the gesture mattered even more so. :)

This is just the tip of iceberg. There have been many others, there are many others and there will be many many more i assume. but they were the first ones and really made a difference for me out there. There is one more but i am not sure you would like your name publicized like this so i'll refrain from that. Just know that i have not forgotten all your help :D

Edit : Added details of backstabbath and typos

Chocobo - Honestly if I hadn't have met him when I was a terrible (more so) mugger, I dunno if I'd be where I am today as he gave me al the advice I needed, but also didn't thrust it down my throat like a lot of players do and supported all the shit decisions I made. Need to make mistakes to learn from mistakes.

I've had many smalls helpers in torn, but out of all those, who really deserves a thank you so far is akanoid and lustdragon69. I probably would be playing very differently without their help, probably not this efficiently too

I did help a lot of people with happy jumps...lots of Xanax given away. So thank you so very much for the kindness. I think I will open it after Halloween. Or perhaps I will donate it to another. Since this is all about helping each other.
shayaaan [3019257]
Those are not lies, i got a present from you too which when i unknowingly opened had a horse head in it XD
It was a good one though, caught me when i didn't expect it!
Happy Halloween People XD

Not that he ever had much of an option x

The man is The-Wiz.

There have been a few other kind creatures since, but I just wanna say thank you to all who have helped me monetary-wise.

As for being awesome, Badd1 (RIP), Wolfman and the guys at Lingering Insanity, including Afterlife and Telomun who have left for greener pastures.

There's still hope in humanity lol
