As promised a statement on the dropping of the dirty bomb.

Seeing how the newspaper hacks normally get it completely wrong and write a load of crap, i thought it best to make my statement in public.

So happy to answer any questions (will amend this post with any questions worth answering)

I will start with the obvious question:

Why did i drop on and why pick the faction chosen?

Well there are many reason for this, in no particular order they are:
  • Because I can
  • They were nominated on my thread and I did state it would be someone nominated
  • To give Bogie his first challange as community manager to handle the panic of newer players wondering what the **** has happened
  • To give ED a reason to post a thread either claiming i wasted money using it on him or to claim credit for the bombing and he was behind it.
  • Because I can
  • Because no-one else in torn seems to have the balls to drop it.
  • To show Ched how shit DBs still are and why he needs to let me blow up the stock exchange instead of factions
Why FTW
  • Because they are FTW
  • They were on the list
  • because its fun hitting them
  • to get them to react and maybe get insurgancy to throw some bombs themselves
Do i fear reprisals?

No, i want them to react.  Lets see if insurgancy have the balls to use theirs!

 

Boring/this bomb is a waste/hey im ED give me attention

I always welcome views of the minority of Torn before dismissing it.

 

Was JFK behind this?

No, they didnt even know the target till after it was planted.  Let me make this clear.  Regardless of whether i am part of JFK or not, they have no say in what i do with my DBs and have never had a say.  They do not know targets until after its been planted.  

These are my DBs not JFK's

How much damage did i do
  • Your dirty bomb has detonated, injuring 401 citizens and severely damaging Forged Through War, decreasing its respect by 286,776 to 3,588,858. 2019/01/09 8:03:00 PM      
How many DBs is that you have now dropped?

this is number 4.  Number 5 is in my display case and number six in the process of gathering cesium

 

Worth it?

You tell me, dropping a bomb and breaking torn!  how many people can say they did that!

Do i think L4 is a scammer for not dropping his?

L4 and 39th have a long history in torn.  Also DBs have just been released.  Lets give them time to do this.  Its only been a couple of days.  If in a month or so still nothing then we can ask this question.

When is the next one?

Lets give Ched and the Dev guys time to fix the issues before i do it again and find more!

I hear you got injured in the bomb too?

    I guess it was a suicide bomb!

Well here we go. Nice knowing you all. Remember, if you're not online when it goes off, you won't be affected. Great game feature, encouraging people not to be logged in. :P
  • Any members of the general public who are online at the time of detonation may be affected. Hundreds will be hospitalised due to various injuries from shrapnel and debris, and an unlucky few will also receive radiation poisoning.
