GREETINGS ALL TORN CITIZENS

 

 

IT IS US, YOUR REPTILIAN OVERLORDS, HERE WITH A STATUS UPDATE

 

WE FOUGHT VALIANTLY, WE FUCKED VALIANTLY, AND WE BALLED VALIANTLY. UNTIL THE VERY END.

 

Wow, we made it so much further than absolutely anyone expected. All week everyone has been telling us they were convinced we'd be out next, and yet we kept making it further and further and further until now.

 

I'm a little upset that our lizard leader Starkiller isn't the one here writing this, but unfortunately it seems he's completely passed out after a lot of very very long nights surrounded by very little sleep. Hopefully he gets the rest he deserves and can leave some awesome essay here when he wakes back up soon enough, as I wasn't prepared for this and have no idea wtf to say. So you get to listen to me babble instead.

 

It's been such a journey to get to this stage. The voting period was absolutely hectic, we had two candidates that were neck and neck causing our chats to go absolutely ballistic at each other. That much in-fighting is never a good omen and things were always tense to start out, but it wasn't long before we all straightened it out and focused on a common enemy.

 

A big shout out to our amazing push captains that had to put up with so much bullshit throughout the week, I know you guys had a really tough job. Even bigger shoutout to our other helpers, from KCB and her "sexy voice chat tutorials" (thanks sugarvalves) to our armoury people dealing with thousands and thousands of items, all of our volunteers that really really showed up. Some of our push captains were putting in long long shifts, dealing with constantly changing orders, trolls in chat, and straight up hostility from some members and they all did really well. I'm not going to list off individuals or the list would get too long and sappy, but you guys know the amazing work you did. 

 

To all our lovely lizard lads, lizard ladies, and lizard......... legends? We're all so so proud of you, us in leadership could not have had a more solid team, you guys should genuinely all be so so impressed with the way you showed up. The heavy hard pushes to keep RS alive for as long as we did, and then pushing ourselves to manage to get SS out, it was all incredible.

 

I want to give a huge shout out to a couple teams - Rocket Scientists, High Voltage, and Loose Cannons. Together we managed to help LC pull off one of THE most incredible come backs I've ever seen, and I just wish they could have stayed in the game longer to see it. To RS as led by my best friend, I cannot thank enough how fun you were to work with even after we accidentally misclicked and blindsided you earlier. And to High Voltage, I really hope you guys can go on to win it here, you guys really gave it your all to try and keep us alive and I just hope that wasn't all for nothing.

 

And not to give compliments to the dirty scary opponents, but to SS, you guys have my 100% respect on how you went out. You had two options and chose to go out fighting like true cavemen, and regardless of which side we were on I will always respect you for not selling out for an extra spot. Thank you for giving us so much fun on those pushes, they were brilliant and I can speak for our entire team when I say that we were all losing our minds every single time.

 

Anyway, I'm going to cut this here otherwise I'll rant for fucking years and you'll never get to the bottom of it. Thank you to our brilliant lizards with their hard hard work, we're so proud of you, and hopefully we're all back again working together next year :)

 

If you enjoyed working with your leadership team this year we loved having you, and if you hated it, #blamebelle.

 

AND REMEMBER - LIZARD TOGETHER STRONG

 

07:15:18 - 16/09/26 Your team Reptilians has been eliminated from the competition, finishing in 4th place.

wait shit - we're out?

(reserved)



Sorry I reserved for this - immediately fell asleep after getting knocked out and now it's kind of late and awkward for the edit lol. 


This year's elim was a shit show from the beginning with morale absolutely being dumpstered during captain election resulting in me pretty quickly backing out of anything leadership in any capacity. It continued to be a super shit show in the beginning but once we duct taped and bubbled gummed our discord back together I guess is when I realized just how many 4b+ IDs were rearing to go. I didn't want any babies or returners to torn to feel it was doomed so I volunteered my time to show whoever wanted to give it their all how to give it their all and tried to build up excitement.

Vibes were so good I did TWENTY ONE more tutorials and then fell pretty quickly into the role of momma bear to the babies. I did more work than I can imagine I would have done in the leadership role I could have had, and I absolutely tanked my net worth and sleep schedule but fuck it we ball. 

I have a bunch of nice things I can say about the leadership of our team and how psyched I am that we kept being told we were "next out" just to continue to pull off what seemed impossible but I'll forget someone or something and others have already mentioned that ad nauseum in this thread. 

What I kept screeching and cheerleading for was the babies, though. 
I don't want to give any specific mentions because I really don't want to forget one of my children, but y'all absolutely dominated this eliminations and the unbelievable vast majority of you were the best soldiers we had both with keeping the morale and hunger up, as well as the attacks made. If you guys are the future of the torn player base, the old accounts should be shaking in their boots. The amount of mentions and DMs I got was daunting and overwhelming but I'm so happy you guys wanted the knowledge and applied it in a way none of us were expecting. I'm super excited to see y'all continue to grow, and I'll be a bit ass pained if I'm against some of you guys next year. 

 


Fuck it we ball, BEANS ON TOAST, Ignore Vanessa, Croc titties, APE TOGETHER STRONG, dragon deez nuts, MY WOMB, Blame Belle, Kwack is British and most importantly:

 

 

Loved this team. Love you guys.

Romarocky [3152013]

Reptilians fought very well, honestly deserved a bit more than 4th place but i'm in the opposing team os obviously i'm happy about us not being 4th xD 

 

Btw GG to all, there were some good pushes and lot of activity

CapWckG [3004640]

My first Eliminations team and I was placed in Reptilians. This event had more epic moments that I can't quite put into words apart from that this team and all its members will forever be remembered in my heart. 

 

Reptilians lore goes deeper than one would think though! From Ignore Vanessa 💥 to CROC TITTIES to WARM ROCK, the chat had its fair share of "Only in Reptilians" moments. 

 

But well, gentlesnakes and crocoladies, we fucked it and we balled. And I'm glad to have been there with all of you.

RUN IT BACK?

 

This was the best Elims team I could have asked for, good vibes even during the highs and lows

Thanks to leadership for keeping everyone organized, and thanks to my fellow push leads, yall were incredible. Im getting withdrawls now, im always anxious that im not getting hits. I got a 300% increase in hits from last year when I was brand new, and next year im gonna go for another 300%.

GGs everyone

 

 

Lezen [3758466]

Awesome team, tried my best and for everyone that also tried their bests all my love, we fucking tried and fight until the last moment, proud of this ones being my first elims and sad i miss 5% for 3 hits xD

Hope we can fight again in some other elims, was fun <3

Edit: Also me and all the other push captains (Pickledog, Clubs, CousinShiggy, CapWckG, han22, RubyFalls, WanderingOwl97, The_Lone_Hunter,  (say your name and i will add you if i miss youxD) were nuts,

I know every team that was on a push with us on those 0 tickets were sweeting blood and praying that some magic save them, so we were fucking awesome same our leader (Starkiller) and coleaders ( Belle, Brad0812, CAV, FidelCashflow and KWACK)

Had loads of fun this 2 week!!! you guys are insane reptiles!!!

Thank you all leaders & helpers for getting this far!

Stay Scally till we meet again

TheSamePlace [4074342]

I don't know what to say except thank you for everything. I had a great time and a fantastic experience there. All hail Lizard 🫡

 

 

The_Lone_Hunter [2708189]

We had a strong team this year, unfortunately we couldnt convert it to a win quite all the way. Thanks leadership for taking us to fourth, thats about 7 places higher then I expected

BullHitter [4317434]

One of the best / worst experiences ever. But what a team to have shared it with. From “being next out” in every newsie sent by Sugarvales, we showed that if you try to cut our heads off then two more would grow.

 

Reptiddies, it’s been an absolute pleasure to share my first (and quite possibly my last) Elims experience with you all. And with 658 hits at 110 odd days old and 6m stats, hopefully it shows other noobs next year that you don’t need to be a big boy to put in big numbers! Just a lot of coffee and a great team to spur you on. 

 

Dogorath [3339305]

Gg Lizards 🩶 Huge love from the Apex squad on the ground. Y’all had crazy good push coordination that has been evident for the last couple of days. Sad to see you go, but happy to be standing on your corpses. CHOMP CHOMP!!

Chucky247 [2138676]

I came into this event with  no expectations honestly but after seeing the team and  getting to know  so many of you I can genuinely say I am so  happy with where I ended up I only wish we could made it all the way to the end 🦎 

 

That's not to say we didn't try our absolute best I think  its obvious, we continued to surprise, evident by even the newspaper falsely proclaiming we would be the next team out. 

 

Huge shout-out to leadership team and push leaders I know  you put up with allot in chat and discord and we're up late many nights negotiating deals for us all. 

 

After many late nights myself   millions spent and just barely missing top 500.  I have  nothing but great things to say about 99% of you  going to miss you all,  I hope you all had as much  fun as I did. 🫡 🦎  

 

 

LTJELLOMAN [1161626]

Only 110 Merc hits on me this elims, nice use to keep me from playing torn much luv to my secret admirer/s.

 

 gg didn't think we'd get this far, this was the first year I've not been apart of leadership and I have no idea what happened but I appreciated seeing so many people enjoying elims and the social part of the only community event torn has.
