So, usually with huge scams come threads, and while there was a trading thread making light of this, the most recent addition to the story, makes me think its time for this story to be told

Lets start with the victim of this scam. Wolftank22 is an incredible player on this game, one I am grateful to have met. I think I've regrettably made a joke about playing torn blind. Well, Wolftank22 uses a screen reader in order to play torn, which honestly sounds tough, something I personally don't think I would be able to do.

Wolftank22 not letting his disability get in the way of playing this text based game is honestly an Inspiration to me, and If I ever lose one of my functions, I hope to have his spirit, and not let anything stop me from doing what I want. Wolftank22 is also a very kind person, who greatly cares about his friends and only ever wants to build you up (he'll roast you if he likes you)

Wolftank22 takes much pride in the things he accomplishes, in real life hes a proud contender in the Special Olympics for Power Lifting. He has even shared with us a video of him failing to lift his goal, but Wolftank22 knows failure is not something he lets define him or stop him from pushing through.

On torn, Wolftank22 took pride in his Oil Rig, and he should, using a screen reader to build a new Oil Rig into a 7* Oil Rig is impressive. He asked his friends for tips and tricks to help build it, and while I wasn't able to help him much in that regard, it always gave me a smile when he would excitedly tell us he gained a star, which was his goal for the rig, to get it to 10*s

Well, that goal was smothered by Shinraop, who tricked Wolftank22 into thinking owning an Oil Rig gives a merit. As I said, Wolftank22 is a kind person, who cares about his friends, and has a desire to help. So sadly, Wolftank22 put his trust into Shinraop and transferred ownership of the rig to Shinraop, and expected a swift return. Obviously theres no merit, and Shinraop immediately sold the Oil Rig to the system.

Months and months of hard work, gone just like that.

Heres another part of why I am an Inspired by Wolftank22. The way he handled this. I know this is just a game, but a set back like that, months and months of real work, I would have been devasted and had some extreme words for Shinraop. Wolftank22 handled this with nothing but grace and self accountability.

For Shinraop to do this to Wolftank22, has absolutely destroyed my mood ever since it happened. I've never felt so much anger over an event in this game. Scamming is legal in Torn but we have to remember there are real people behind these accounts, real work goes into building your torn account. My heart absolutely broke for Wolftank22.

Shinraop has lost his right to play torn, while he won't be banned for the action, he will be perma hosped, no forgetting in 3 months, this was something I and Wolftank22s friends will never forgive or ever forget. Shinraop will never get to enjoy the pixel money he stole.

Thankfully, this story ends with kindness. ImmortalSouljah saw the injustice of what happened to Wolftank22 and took action. ImmortalSouljah gave Wolftank22 42b, the entire amount that was lost. He saw how much Wolftank22 loved his stolen and destroyed oil rig, and wanted Wolftank22 to get that happiness of building it up back.

I will never forget the kindness and generosity of ImmortalSouljah.

Well, there ends the story. Wolftank22 will get to continue his journey of building an Oil Rig, ImmortalSouljah just got +10,000 karma points and Shinraop will never be able to play torn normally again.

A WARNING: If you think you can take advantage of Wolftank22 like Shinraop, think again, Wolftank22 learned his lesson, and even if you succeeded, his friends including myself will unsubscribe you from torn

tldr/ shitstain scams kind soul with disabilities, generous person gives the money that was lost
