'Why is MaxHeadRoom [1429645] such a twat'

 

this was brilliant

 

  1. why is MaxHeadRoom [1429645] such a twat?

     

  2. ChatGPT said:

    If you mean MaxHeadRoom [1429645] on Torn, I can see why you've formed that opinion. 😄

    Looking at his forum history, there’s a pretty consistent pattern of very confrontational posting:

    • He frequently responds to disagreement with personal insults rather than sticking to the argument—for example, “you wanker,” “idiot newbs,” and “F**k You Asshole.” TTorn+1

    • In an older discussion about self-exclusion from gambling-related features, he repeatedly dismissed the argument and escalated into increasingly bizarre analogies rather than engaging with the underlying point. Other posters explicitly called out his reasoning and tone. TTorn+1

    • In another thread, he became involved in a prolonged argument over inactive-player filtering and eventually ended up with another blunt personal attack. TTorn

    • He also appears to have a habit of interpreting disagreement as hostility and responding in kind. In one discussion he accused another poster of contributing to a “complete shitshow” and characterised their position as absolutist. TTorn

    So, based purely on the public posting history I found, the less-loaded explanation is that he has a highly combative forum style: he seems to enjoy arguing, has a low threshold for turning disagreement personal, and doesn't appear particularly concerned about softening his language.

    Whether that makes him a “twat” is obviously your call. But I can certainly see where the impression comes from. 😏

  1. why is Problematic [3581116] such a twat?

     

  2. ChatGPT said:

    If you mean Problematic [3581116] on Torn, the public forum record gives a pretty clear picture of why someone might find him irritating:

    • He has a tendency to make needlessly personal digs rather than just disagreeing. In one thread, after someone questioned his participation in giveaways, he replied, “It’s ok buddy calm down,” followed by “you don’t have to play” and a comment about the other person not being well known. TTorn

    • In another discussion, he called someone a “gooner” during what was otherwise a fairly ordinary discussion about progressing in the game. TTorn

    • His posts sometimes have a distinctly provocative/trolling flavour—for example, the Xanax/giveaway threads contain a lot of deliberately cheeky one-liners rather than substantive discussion. TTorn+1

    • At the same time, his posting history isn't uniformlyobnoxious; plenty of his visible activity is simply short marketplace/forum participation. TTorn+1

    So, rather than declaring that he's objectively a “twat,” the evidence supports a narrower description: he appears to enjoy antagonistic banter and occasionally crosses from banter into personal digs. If that's the sort of forum behaviour that winds you up, there's plenty there to explain the reaction. :-D

xuim [3440396]

If you mean xuim [3440396] on Torn, I can see why you’re asking 😂. Their forum history shows a pretty combative/snarky style—particularly around faction wars and whether players should be paid for ranked-war hits. 

 

For example, they basically responded to the “war for faction loyalty/legacy” argument with: if you aren’t getting paid, join a better faction, and questioned whether faction leaders would share proceeds from selling a faction. 

They also have a habit of jumping into arguments with fairly blunt takes, rather than trying to smooth things over. So “twat” is your assessment, but “confrontational forum goblin” is reasonably well supported by the evidence. 😂

and heres bogies...

 

  1. why is bogie [148747] such a twat

     

  2. ChatGPT said:

    If we're continuing the “Torn players who have earned the accusation” series, bogie is an interesting case because he's not just some random forum shit-stirrer: he's a Torn Admin, with a very large forum presence (25k+ posts in the current indexed profile). TTorn

    The evidence for why people might find him irritating includes:

    • The classic admin non-answer. In a discussion about BotHunter, one player repeatedly asked for clarification about why they were being flagged. bogie's responses included things like “Ok thanks” and essentially reiterated that Torn wouldn't disclose the detection details. The player subsequently called him “f**king useless.” TTorn

    • He can be extremely blunt when enforcing rules. In the same exchange, bogie repeatedly told the player that mass-refreshing a page was exactly the sort of repetitive behaviour BotHunter was designed to detect. From the player's perspective, that was frustrating; from Torn's perspective, revealing more about the detection system would potentially undermine it. TTorn

    • He's very comfortable getting involved in forum drama. His posts aren't exclusively dry administrative announcements. He participates in jokes, memes and community arguments—including the long-running “bogie coup / Bog City” gag where players joked about Torn becoming his personal fiefdom. TTorn

    • He has a particularly dry form of trolling. There's a great example from 2023 where someone posted a battle log showing that bogie had been “disarmed” of his Ban Hammer, and bogie replied with a joke about feet pictures. TTorn

    • He also has to be the bearer of unpopular decisions. His posts include rule clarifications on things like scripting/scraping and investigations into account sharing/RMT. Those are inherently contentious subjects, so people who dislike the resulting enforcement naturally end up interacting with him in adversarial contexts. TTorn+1

    So I'd characterise bogie less as “a twat” and more as “the admin who has accumulated an enormous amount of forum goodwill and an enormous amount of people who have been told ‘no’ by him.” 😂

    And unlike NOBALLSDOIT, where the evidence strongly points toward deliberate shit-stirring, bogie is often being confrontational in the context of actually doing his job. That's an important distinction. TTorn

PMV [1577993]

I can’t identify what “PMV [1577993]” refers to from that identifier alone. The search results point to several unrelated entities, including a Belgian investment organization and an industrial-valve manufacturer. `

 

If you mean a person, company, vehicle, game account, or online handle, share the relevant link or a little context—and I can help assess what they did without just assuming they’re a “twat.”

Ah, you mean PMV, Torn player ID 1577993. I can’t see enough public context to know what they did, and I won’t invent a reason—but if they’re annoying you, it’s probably tied to a specific in-game dispute, faction conflict, attack, mugging, scam accusation, or forum interaction.

Send me the message, battle report, forum link, or a screenshot of what PMV did, and I’ll break down whether they’re genuinely being unreasonable or just playing Torn strategically.

PMV [1577993]

If you mean PMV [1577993] on Torn, I can see why you might be asking 😄. Public forum history shows that account has been around for years and is pretty active in faction/war discussions. For example, PMV has posted about wars, chain competition, and the game's chat/performance issues. TTorn+1

 

But I can't really establish from the public material that they're actually a “twat.” That's more a matter of your interactions with them than something the records prove.

 

If you give me what PMV did/said, I can dissect it and tell you whether you're justified in being pissed off.

FidelCashflow [1993550]

If you mean FidelCashflow [1993550] on Torn, the evidence suggests the answer is mostly: because being an obnoxious forum goblin is apparently part of his brand. 😄

 

A few receipts:

 

  • He’s been a very prolific forum poster—FFScouter currently lists him at roughly 7,047 posts, with about 48,359 karma. 
  • His posts repeatedly lean into trolling, trash talk, and deliberately provocative takes. For example, in one thread he described someone as having “absolutely no leverage” and “just trying to hustle,” while apparently enjoying the spectacle.
  • In another discussion he openly embraced the idea of being abrasive, saying that someone being a “proper asshole” was simply “the cost of doing business.”
  • He's also been around the Torn forums for years—one of his threads dates back to 2019.
  • And, for additional context, FFScouter currently shows him with 872 enemies, which is a fairly impressive number even by Torn standards. 

 

So I wouldn't claim I know why he's like that psychologically. But based on his public Torn persona, antagonism + forum shitposting + enjoying reactions seems like a pretty strong explanation.

 

Basically: he isn't accidentally being a twat; the available evidence suggests he's been cultivating the craft for years.
