I started making gfx because of TaintedInside so my boy defo gotta be in there too
For essentially going prestige mode by starting his game from scratch by converting all his assets to SEs and having to build his wealth up again but with trillions of battle stats (well…Dex)
Sticking to the (majority) theme of scripters, one other person that would absolutely fit in on this list would be DeKleineKobini [2114440] for all the work they've done. Ranging from the majority of the v6 recode for TornTools to the amazing third-party API docs, their contribution to the API / scripting side of things has been indespensible. Also someone I've personally looked up to as a developer as well!
Huge shoutout to everyone else in the TornAPI server who consistently help with queries as well, there's far too many to individually acknowledge but I'm sure you know who you are.

Well against all odds they won and he pocketed something like 80b. I know things have changed a lot now we have trillionaires but at the time that was an obscene amount of money.
Also, I’ve only gone through the first 10 pages here (a real trip down memory lane), and I’m bereft at seeing no mention of the inimitable Philistine. Rest in peace to that legend.
Man, the more I think about it the harder this question is. It’s difficult to separate the people who are notable to the whole of Torn or just notable to me. There’s people who I spent hours and hours a day talking to for months or years, some well-known, some not at all. I’d be surprised if any of them remember me to this day, complicated by the fact I didn’t use this username back then, though I have an excellent memory and I remember them all well. Even their real names lol.
DoA_Neo, Starshine, Baalsagoth, g_had, ThatIrishGuy, Rasputin, Azrael, Karty, Kelsie, SmokingAces, Kyle- (I miss him!), Wayne, Kharma, Prodi, DeathFire (even you, bogie, but you won’t remember)…. and so many more that escape me that I’ll randomly remember in a cold sweat at 3am. Wow.
After the new faction rules, limiting players numbers, sun split into

All unjustly taken from us. Torn got progressively worse with all these laughable feddings. So much fun and personality was lost over the years.
Weeman in particular was a huge loss. He got vault scammed by Cloudjumper years ago and now CJ is staff. The theft was just swept under the rug.
During my startup days, used to follow his own torn fansite. (Can't remember the exact name, sorry ?).
It helps and guide me a lot at that time.
Thanks brother

My cousin. He doesn't actually play torn but a couple times a year we catch up and sometimes Torn gets brought up, and sometimes i can convince him to login maybe... a couple times a decade. Whenever he does though, it requires a game update of some sort or another, usually cascading into paradigm shifts in the superpowers within the game. I'm not sure why, or even if it is actually him or he is just heralding a change, but his mere presence is sure to be followed by chaos.
Second to last time he logged in, he did so with 500 refills, refills got capped to 250, only for him to break how that works. His job point gains have been reality warping nightmares for Torn, not once, but twice. Once in the old game generating obscene amounts of life as some medical aberration (though admittedly not the only one) and another time making the grocery starter get nerfed.
And German Mercenary, the dad of Good Fellas.
