After 6+ yrs of grinding my ass off. Hitting the top 60 for reviving. Been a part of some really awesome factions and leadership roles. And now being screwed over by a greedy prick for his own personal gain. I have come to the conclusion that my time on this game is over.
My story started in March of 2016. I was about 6 mths clean from drugs. After using them for 19 yrs. Suffering from Major Depressive Disorder with anxious distress and anti-personality disorder. My RL best friend had joined Torn due to her BF's friend. She showed me the game. I looked at it and figured it was something I would like. Considering I grow up play AD&D as a kid in the late 80s n 90s.
So, I made an account. Joined a faction. Started to ask questions. I eventually left that group of ppl. I ended up getting my reviving perk around this time too. So, I joined a reviving faction just in time for the elimination event in 2017. Where I first met MeanMike (despite what ppl might think of him I find him to be a pretty cool dude). After while I wanted more from reviving so I ended up joining Hela. Stayed there for a long while. Learning more as I went along. Afterwards, and struggling to keep up with others I left.
Where I join Unrelenting Medical (URm) where met Scrooge McDuck, Darkwing Duck, Lord_OFlame, Idzy, n KDA. this was around 2018. Eventually I would be moved into a leadership role there. I was in that role when UR split from Relentless. I was also there when UR was destroyed by boogie cuz of Zahid cheating.
URm kept going until being sold off in late 2019 early 2020. Prior to that happening we as a faction stumbled across Rabid Chalupas. I struck up a friendship with their leaders. After the sale of what was now called BDSM. I left there (not on good term and only days away from gaining my 500 faction merit). I joined RC only wanting to be member.
During my time in RC I eventually get into leadership (that bug wouldn't leave me despite my best effort). I love helping ppl. Especially noobs!! I always remember what it was like for me when. I was one. Not knowing shit.
But, I had goals I wanted to do since my first week playing. Like owning a company (I've owned 3 myself). My first company was a property broker. Where I spent the next 8 mths building from a new company 0* to making the 2nd highest 10* PB in torn. But. Despite that there was always something I wanted more. Not just a leadership role in a faction but, owning my faction. So after 5+ yrs of grinding, failing, getting scammed for 400m. I was finally able to just that. I reached out to a close friend of mine on Torn. Asked him if he wanted to be a co-owner with me. (Jrockmagic u r f**king awesome brother. I love u man.) Then I proceeded to get with another close friend of mine Kr0n0s69 (you too man I love ya brother). I bought his faction back in January of this year. Where me n my crew started to build this faction up. I spent more than half my total net worth to buy the faction and stock it.
Where I f**ked up was thinking I had friends in leadership roles with us. I met Jrock n EVETINE during my time in URm. It was there I saw their potential as future members of Torn. So, for me it was a no brainer choice to ask both Jrock n EVETINE to come in as leaders (now looking back that was a the BIGGEST mistake in my Torn life).
After 6 mths of grinding in my my RL was catching up to me. I was working 40+ hrs a week in 6 days for 18 months straight. So, up to recently my Torn life was good. But, my activity was declining. Work finally caught up to me. Jrock had his RL happen so he had to step down as an active leader. He left joined another faction. And did him (Brother I'm not mad at u for it). So that left EVETINE, Xhex, Kr0n0s, n myself to run things. So, yesterday awhile I was at work having to be there all day 9am EST to 8pm est. I took my 2nd Xanax of the day. Show u had an addiction lvl. Flew to rehab. During my flight back I saw where Evetine cancelled the OC we was in. Ok whatever. Well once I was able to logged on check the faction page. I saw where he had left (not thinking he was gonna do me or the faction dirty). I talked to him asked y he had left. He told me that he felt stagnant and that the fashion was dead. Okay, cool I get that. I wished him well n went back to work. It was after I got off work n went to took my 3rd Xanax for the day. Was when I saw it I just happened to go to give members page n seen the -630m curious as to why. I scroll down had seen where that POS took the money. So I checked the faction logs. Seen where he not only took 2.6b from the faction but also the 3k points we had.
So, yeah I was pissed rightfully so. But, more hurt that someone I knew for 3 yrs considered a good friend would do that.
So, in closing I'm not gonna rebuild from this. I spent many yrs of my life playing Torn. Had ups n downs throughout it all. Finally getting where I wanted to be in y Torn life. Only for a POS scum bag. Who wanted to be a selfish little bitch. To steal from us just cause RL showed up. I'm done with Torn. I hope EVETINE is happy. He took something from a player who loves this game. A game that literally saved me from myself. And, now that wants nothing to do with it at all.
So, in 39 days time after I have 1 last thing to deal with in here I'll be closing my account for good. I want to say THANK YOU to Chedburn for making Torn. Giving ppl like me something to do when RL was tough. I also, wanna say THANK YOU to all the great ppl I have met over my 6 yrs here. Y'all r the best a community has to offer. I'll miss y'all greatly. I love y'all. I hope Torn doesn't turn out like it did for me.

So, here I sit as a small faction. That me a close friend started a few months back. We decided to being in a old faction mate of ours to help us lead. My friend had RL issues so he had to step back from Torn for awhile. So, I put (who I seriously thought I could trust sadly I was mistaken) In place as my Co (having been faction mates before for awhile.) My RL got busy with work n my Torn play suffered. Well a few days that person step down as co (which is fine.) Then today he leaves the faction. Stealing from it. Taking all the points we have earned n bought from our cash out members money. https://www.torn.com/profiles.php?XID=2231549

So 2026 has seen what I think is highest number of vault thefts.
Being a victim of one sucks. We in leadership rolls of faction have and do hold a high responsibility to the ppl we are over. When a scummy loser comes along and steals from the faction it hurts everyone in the faction.
While yeah it's only Pixel money and all it's taken players a long time to achieve that money. Personally as a leader of a faction I couldn't do that to my members. We in Rabid Chihuahua fosters a friendly home environment for our members. Most 9f our leadership has been leads for over 5 yrs now. I've been in a leadership role since my 4th yr on Torn and been really close to my leadership when I wasn't.
I couldn't see our leadership doing something like that to our members. In the past 6 months this particular crime against factions has seen a significant increase over the past several years. I wonder what has changed throughout the years! is it an of poor leadership or players seems stuck in terms of making money now?
I made my billions (before I fall victim to a faction theft) by reviving under the old system. Others by playing the old stock market or trading. Now though it seems as with all the updates that has happened in the several years making good money is harder than before.
Maybe that's why players temped by the billions they see in a faction vault. Idk though. I feel for any faction that has been robbed by a trusted leader. Especially those who spent years helping building that faction. That's a loss of trust that was built over time and what feels like a betrayal of a friend.
While Ched and the others feel scamming is ok (cuz it's a crime game) we as and responsible leaders don't take this lightly nor will we!
Nameless is here to be on blast though. That's the difference with our alliance. We ain't after name by any means. Those factions that has slammed upon us knows what Nameless is about and that's all we need honestly. We ain't built upon HoF factions at all. So, yeah when ppl talk about the big 3 alliances it's easy to talk about them and the HoF factions that run them. I remember what it was before there was any alliances in game. How I do miss the old days of the doggie eat dog map wars lol.
Honestly Mikk I didn't think u would. But, with that said. If it was me (not as lead or a member of Nameless) I would totally had dropped it on a Nameless then watch the shit show. Lol. To many wanna what has been a hard fought war more difficult by intruding on our activities. Hope y'all r good though.
some things will never change. who needs daytime drama TV (soaps). when we can just come to torn city forums and watch all the drama unfold here!!
bombs this; bomb that
throwing shade at the issue at hand ain't solving shit honestly.
one side saying this and that.
the other side being accused of this and that
personally i'm having fun.
working a 40 hr week job plus leading a pack of rabid pups into war has been tough going. lots of long nights on discord and watching the map. we'll keep trucking like always. after all this is torn. where personal issues get laid bare in the forums. where handfuls of people that has no business in this conflict voice their opinions into shit that doesn't affect them personally or their factions!! but, wanna be heard cause why not right?
to this pup it really sounds like daytime drama. so, i again i ask "who needs daytime TV"?
While I may not know you. But one of the best things about the game I've always liked was the community. I have made so many good friends on the game lifetime friends of that. I honestly couldn't see my life without TORN for a long time. And then I was vault scammed by someone I trusted. Once I was able to pay everybody's money back I quit for 16 months. But always felt empty. Then at a friend of mine from the game message me in discord. Asking for my help with a war without a question I came back. I that's about 3 years ago now. I hope whatever it is in real life that has gotten me to the point where you need to quit. Gets better. And I wish you the very best and I know it's not easy to walk away.
Ok i have an honest question for HT or D3vl only please!! while y'all have an issue with nameless sitting on OBN (tbh we only permitted by them). y'all are intitled to ur opinions. if us (nameless) didn't make a preemptive strike against y'all. then allowed y'all to attack nameless factions would we still be the "bad" guy in this??
let's be fair in this whole thing. this isn't the first time there's been a war between our groups over the past few years. i think saying this and that about each other in mute at this point!! i totally understand you may/ might have an issue with OBN. but, imho to upset with us for sitting in OBN TTs isn't our fault. again they permit us too. at any point OBN can/ could tell namless to sector and we would have no choice but too. it's their TTs not ours. i think it's a fair point to make though. i'm not trying to point out who wrong or right in this. just maybe trying to show u that all this back and forth isn't heathy and only add more fuel to the fire.
maybe (and i'm just saying) try sitting down with us all and hashing out any and all issues at once without needing to throw bodies at each other. we may never see eye to eye on everything (and to think otherwise imo is never possible really. cuz after all we are all human) but, maybe we can find some type of middle for the both sides that allows us to be more civil with each other going forward.
but, going into any talks of any types of preconceived notions wouldn't help anyone involved and wouldn't settle what seem to me a long standing problem u may have with nameless.
I honestly can't understand where some of y'all are getting infro from. Like do some ppl believe everything they read????
Case in point the factions making attacks are 100% nameless factions!!! Them are facts. NOT once have we asked OBN for SHIT!! This is a nameless war!!
Is everyone that bored in game that they really gotta jump map to intervene with OUR war??
Honestly y'all if ya are that bored with how the map is then go pick a fight with your neighbors!!!
Let us have our war in peace!!!
We all know this isn't the first time Nameless and HT had a thing for each other!!
It's a love-hate relationship here!!
Besides most of everyone knows how D3vl is (Not a dig at u personally dude. But, tbf you have earned that rep by your actions over the years).
For some reason (for which for all this time, I'm still tryin to figure why) You've had it in for us!
OBN telling HT or D3vl what they did they did on their own without us asking them too!!
There's always 2 sides to every tale!!
I for one have been enjoying myself for the first time since i come back almost 2 yrs ago now. I come back to Torn due to a old faction mate/ lead asking to help out the last time Nameless and HT had a war.
