Inspired by this latest global virus crisis, perhaps Torn could start reacting/responding to real world events.

Some examples:
  • travel restrictions could be put in place for certain countries
  • players selected to be quarantined (with CD) due to infection - could be random, or dependent on specific amount of contact with 'outside world', as in clicks on the city map, clicks in the church, or wherever other people would be IRL
  • market impacts felt in stock portfolios and item markets
  • players could choose to donate to medical research to combat the virus in Torn, or to spend in-game hours actually as part of research network, similar to spending time Racing or in Computer Virus development.
This could apply to any IRL events that occur, and would help to connect Torn to our lived experiences in the world. Torn already does this in a way with the specific holidays it celebrates, and the bookies. Would just expand the game universe a little and provide interesting overlap into the real world.
