Well I didn't bother to make this discussion thread during halloween where I got 4/5 flights going to fight M'aol delayed both ways...

 

but now again this shit was thrown at me again.

16:03:39 - 03/02/25 You boarded a 0h 11m business flight from Cayman Islands to Torn

16:09:49 - 03/02/25 Someone used Watchlist on you increasing your flight time by 1h 35m

 

Needles to say I have issues with this company perk being so stupidly OP.

 

It cant be avoided when you fly, it cant be mitigated, it has completely out of proportion effect... +95 minutes on a 11 minute flights that had 5 minutes left to go. And to top that off... there is zero accountability for the player using this on me as its anonymous!

 

So in my opinion this perk should be changed in some ways?

 

Possible changes :

 

*using perk is not anonymous. ( prefered change).

*flight delay scales with trip duration.

*add another perk to some other company that mitigates flight time down to whatever the travel time taking off was ( so my example - down to 11 minutes) - so it couldnt be used to shorten already short trips.

*add another perk that spies out who used it on you.

*WLT stocks block could be unaffected by it

 

Anyway peeps,

 

Have your laugh at me and discuss! :D

How would you balance this perk?

They’ll just make a discord bot if it’s not anonymous where you can pay the agency and they pay the delayer so the delayer won’t even know who paid. 

Skilled players aren’t sitting in companies to sell flight delays. Looool

Could maybe extend SYS to include flight delays? It's an overly expensive stock anyways so the average person wouldn't be able to utilise it.

Wanna know how many times I got flight delayed during Halloween? 0 because I’m not using bots to mug everyone possible. 

play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Imagine being the poor torn citizen who boarded a plane thinking that he's got a nice, quick flight then hears the pilot on comms saying:

 

"Looks like we have an asshole on board, relax and enjoy the scenic view as I will be spending the next hour and a half spinning the plane above the airport for fun."

Just tell the pilot to fly faster, problem solved, ez pz.

 

Also: did you get delayed on the way back to Torn?

 

Edit; am dumb f**k who couldn't even read 🫠

awful lot of snarky comments... rather few that actually discuss the game mechanic...

 

Yup, sums up majority of Torn quite well :D - degenerates!!
