Baby & Champers is a highly prestigious and professional law firm that any lawyer would be fortunate to represent. They won several high profile cases such as Duke vs Torn City Banking questioning the legality of Duke's loans. Baby & Champers successfully argued for Duke and won him the right to not only lend money to torn citizens, but also legalize the means he goes about ensuring that his investments do not default.

In January 2017, what remained of Main St Marauders bought a faction with little more than 100k respect. After a year and a half of hard work, I'm proud to say that members of Champagne Killers, new and old, have helped it reach 500k respect!
I can't begin to express the gratitude I have for everyone who helped this faction grow. This project has been my first experience in a leadership position and it has taught me a lot about myself. However, I can't take the credit for any success this faction has had as it's the great members and helpers that really make any progress possible.
Revives played a bigger role in the game in the old faction warring scheme in which you were limited to targets in the warbase and needed to hospitalize them, which kept them in the hospital for hours. In the new system, targets are much more plentiful and good targets can come out of the hospital naturally in under an hour if they are not hospitalized. I think these factors have significantly reduced the demand of revives.

Isn't it interesting how this game has endured in your heart throughout the years? Even though you have kept your engagement with it casual, you still find yourself checking in, seeing how things are progressing. The game is different, and yet the same as it was back then at its core. Welcome back! :) I look forward to your next visit!
Reptilians fought hard and tirelessly and now find the hot rock in the sky for their final rest. :)
I was very impressed with this team! We showed a lot of resilience fighting at the bottom for days at a time, surviving like only reptiles know how! We made our namesakes proud, but I am sure we ourselves can be proud too. Because we didn't go out without a fight. For every ticket we lost, we took 2-3 others from the other team down with us!
Reptilians rejoice! Our ferocity struck fear in the eyes of all teams! We may not have gotten to the end, but no one can tell us we didn't give it our all! Looking forward to working with many of you fellow lizards again some day :)
I have to say, I am quite happy with the new chain system compared to the old. At the time, I was the leader of a smaller faction and that old system made it really difficult for smaller factions to exist given that targets needed to be from a faction you were at war with. I remember roughly every other day, a HoF faction would declare war on us, hosp all of us, and then send a peace treaty. Thanks I guess!
I remember being a little bit skeptical about the new chaining system when it released because the multiple days of chaining just seemed like a lot of work. But then I realized that we didn't actually need to get to the end of the chain every time for it to be worth it lol.
I do think that torn is now missing short duration faction activities now though. Everything seems to be designed around multiple days. However, if we had things that had durations in the order of an hour or so, I feel like it could be fun for less of a time commitment to bring faction members together.
Am happy to see RobinHood still up there. Before BodyBagger's time, RobinHood was the envy of all ambitious young torn citizens. He continues to quietly stand among the giants. :)
I think this could have been a fun experiment but you didn't really formulate anything convincing since you only surveyed one group and didn't compare it to another. How do we know that any other wealth groups wouldn't have done the same? Unfortunately there is not enough data to conclude much of anything socially other than the richest won't give a xanax to just anyone who asks.
But I encourage you to keep doing science! It takes practice and this game is as good a medium as any to learn things. And as you practice and get feedback, you'll get better at creating more convincing studies that might enlighten us :)
I have a soft spot for the Banach-Tarski paradox: given a 3D object, there exists a decomposition into a finite number of disjoint subsets that can be reassembled into two identical copies of the object with no loss of volume.
A very surprising result that unsettles the foundations of mathematics and makes us have to consider very specific objects when we are interested in questions of measure. It also really showcases the difference between mathematics and the nature of reality. :)
I made a collage based on images from google images. Not technically against the rules, but maybe it is against the spirit... Still, I think this resurrection story deserves to be told, even if it doesn't qualify for a prize :)
I love getting my hair cut at dragon cuts! The hairspray smells like dragon fruit and they have an avant-garde styling technique of using a torch on grey hair to turn them black again as a complimentary service! Highly recommend.
Great job Thunder! Sounds like your hard work has paid off. Keep up the good work :)
With science jobs you really need to keep looking long term especially if you are looking for something specific. After a layoff, some co-leagues of mine needed 6-10 months to find their next job in science. It is not always easy. Best of luck!
If this system is what torn staff are interested in implementing, my suggestion would be to make people in the attacking faction need to be in the faction for a few days before they can participate in the war in order to try to break the guesting asymmetry a bit.
This year, CK celebrated its second anniversary in January. We bought the faction from the late Kapten_Klitoris for about 60m if my memory serves me and had a bit more than 100k respect. Yesterday, at the end of a 5k chain, we passed 1m respect milestone. :)
This faction has been my first real experience as a leader. I feel like I've made many mistakes during my tenure, but I've always tried to learn a lesson on how to do better the next time. That being said, the success of this faction is only a small part due to me and majorly because of the great members who have joined and made it great. I'm blessed to have met so many wonderful people be it CK members, ex-CK members, or neighboring faction people. There really is a lot of talented and genuinely good people playing this game and I'm happy to have met a small fraction while running this faction. :)
I've always been very proud of this faction and they always find a way to impress me. Thanks to all CK friends for your help in these two and a half great years. This milestone wouldn't have been possible without your hard work!
