I had a similar encounter with Hippo ages back. Except I mailed and offered a termed war. I can't remember all the details of it but basically we couldn't agree on terms so I said that it was okay and we would try again in a month or so. He gave me the same reply as to you "We're declaring anyways on this day, at this time whether you like it or not" (basically) We were quite annoyed with the disrespect so we decided to use a similar tactic seeing as no terms were agreed upon. and it turned out to be a fairly intense war and...
Congratulations, you have claimed victory over Milk & Cookies, the war is now over. You have received a boost of 55,473 bonus respect.
This is personally a very bitter sweet moment for me.
I don’t know where or how to start, so I will rewind it all the way back.
There is so much history and specifics to unpack, but I will try to keep it brief.
I was only 16 when I first created The UnLeashed Sykoz. At the time I didn’t know what the f**k I was doing. I was just a kid with no experience in managing anything. I could barely manage myself. I just knew that I wanted to build something from the ground up. It was brutal. Hell, I didn’t even have funding for anything or knew how to properly play the game in its entirety. I was new to the game and was still learning myself. We would get bullied and extorted constantly by other factions. We’d get stomped around consistently. That never stopped us though. I ended up adopting a very aggressive attitude and wanted to war everything even if we lost. mug, who in the last years ended up in leadership of TuS has been on the receiving end in our early days. He can attest.
To me, losing was part of the process. It revealed our flaws and gave us the opportunity to overcome them. That is exactly what we did. War after war we adjusted. We began organizing a little better. Improving our comms. Started coming up with our own mIRC bot. Nothing fancy, but it kept us progressing. I still remember struggling to pull a 100 chain which would be pretty pathetic to today’s standards. We’d be in the mIRC channel with just a few people like echosummet (I miss you baby) and The_Master and drag that timer out as far out as we could hoping that more people would hop online. There were a lot of long, struggling hours. But also fun times too! Like having drunk chains (“rip” Flippeh you crazy bastard) and being dumb on mIRC.
Along the way, near the beginning of it all I met MadMikeTyson who had PnB on and off, but was officially in JFK. Honestly, I don’t remember the specifics of how we met or how we became as close as we did but I am eternally grateful. MMT was a far more superior and experienced player as I was. He began mentoring me, giving me advice, and constantly switching to the faction over from JFK. Without MMT I do not believe that we would be where we are today. MMT has been there in so many ways. From the recruitment down to the warring terms and negotiations. The UnLeashed Sykoz quickly became MMT’s second home.
Recruiting was rough. We didn’t have much to offer. We had no respect, no funds, and no well-known players. It took us years and years of grinding it out. We never stopped. I had to run through so many noobish applications and recruits that I became good at eyeing out potential. I started giving a lot of fresh starts a chance to make something of themselves. Although we didn’t have much to offer we did have the appeal of having lots of fun wars which brought us all together as a tight family. The amount of engagement we had was enough to spark interest in Torn for a lot of these new players. As a result a lot of powerful players have come out of TuS who started with nothing. If you are reading this, you know who you are and I hope you haven’t forgotten your roots. You are family no matter what faction you are in now.
Eventually, after a few years we got to a point where we were battle hardened, could toss down solid chains, and had a much beefier (yet still lacking in stats compared to HOF) members. This is when we started going against HOF factions because we wanted to not only have fun and f**k shit up, but we also wanted to prove our worth. Like I mentioned earlier, we are forged through fire. Warring was our way. We had both termed and no termed wars and fought against most HOF factions as underdogs. At times we would be at war for weeks or months nonstop.
Eventually, I reached a point in my life where I could not dedicate time to the faction. That is when I decided to pass on the baton and quit. Boo, mug, King, Sword (change your name back pls), Champion, and many others did a wonderful job running the ship. It still feels surreal every blue moon when I sign in and see this name around. This kind of longevity in games is very rare. I see familiar faces even after a decade. This is family.
Fast forward a few more years and here we are. We have reached the next chapter of the journey. There have been so many people that made it possible and memorable. I can’t list them all out nor can I remember the countless names but once a Syko always a Syko. Thank you all who have been a part of this wild ride. I know this is just a game, but the connections you make go beyond that. Without TuS I would have stopped playing this game before I got too much into it.
Seeing the end of an era for The UnLeashed Sykoz is very bitter because it is my baby.
However, I have always said that a faction is only just a shell. The people in it make it what it is, and to me, that is the sweet moment. I’m excited to see what you amazing people make of this new opportunity, together. We started off together and now we are together.
On the contrary, boo (yes, you) is the absolute worst. Every time I decide to give Torn another shot and log in all I am met with is verbal abuse. FOR NO REASON. I don't get it. Its so instant too idk how the f**k she knows I'm about to log in. Are you watching me through the window or something? the f**k. kinda scary. I'm pretty sure boo lacks empathy and is a total psychopath. Which makes sense why she eventually became leader of The UnLeashed Sykoz, but that does not make it okay. Oh and another time I saw her making fun of mug (because his grammar is worse than a 10 year olds) in the faction's discord voice chat channel called "Sword's small dick" or something and he flat out burst into tears. I feel the pain little guy... don't let it get to you.
Cyber bullying is no joke. Now everyone please bounty and bully boo thanks.
Yes! I still equip trouts to this day (and randomly slap people with it; sorry PETA). We had a lot of fun termed wars with silly weapons. You have been one of the most dopest people in our timeline. Much respect to you as well. :) [image: i.ibb.co]
I might be remembering wrong, but do you still have a link to the collection of TuS drawings/cartoons? Would love to take a trip down memory lane with those too. :P

I’ve figured out SA’s tactic and it’s absolutely brilliant. step 1) runway from any and all challenging conflicts step 2) bore your enemies to sleep step 3) attack while they sleep
Bruh your shitty allies have attacked me 3 times more than you guys have. Not saying they’re great because they suck balls too, but shit at least put in some more effort. The f**k you on about. You guys push the wall for like 10 minutes then go back to getting f**ked. Even the moment you guys declared on us was underwhelming considering you had control over the date, time, and preparations as well as internal hype about starting a war.
You guys don’t run a faction. You run a retirement home.
You guys are using fake walls and have your allies such as Damage Inc also attacking us…. but we aren’t complaining. It’s war. Bring it. However, even without Monarch you guys couldn’t keep up… i haven’t used a single booster or refill yet…. I’m pretty disappointed and have massive blue balls.
I logged into Torn for a war that was supposed to happen about a week ago. f**k you SA for keeping me waiting and f**k Damage Inc for being a bunch of pussies. Ya’ll flopped around like fish until your boyfriends stepped into the arena.
That’s all the banter I got. Now let’s get into it. ;)
Hmm... maybe I should mail something similar to JFK 2.1 considering I built that faction up from ground zero for 6 years then they got it for free after I quit....
Go do your homework on The UnLeashed Sykoz. We've fought many HOFs as underdogs. Our history is rich and we're reviving that back. Rome wasn't built in a day.
UnLeashed is still very new into its life cycle and we've been progressing fast and kicking ass along the way. This remake of TuS is about a year old and we don't plan on slowing down our growth. Can you say the same about your faction? How long have you guys been around? What have you achieved? Don't include times you've had to gather up with 10 other factions and hold each others' dicks into battle. Grow a f**king pair and prove your actual worth before you try and talk shit. You're a nobody.
Quidnucks have always been a joke and will always remain that way.
