Faction is for sale, but in the mean time we're cache farming. Feel free to tag along if you're looking for a temporary place!


Elements is a new faction run by players out of different backgrounds within Torn. We've met in our previous families and have become great friends through the years. We've now started our own family to become a competitive faction down the road.

We're looking for active players who're willing to join us in this ride. Players who will enjoy the growth of themselves and the family, but most importantly: players who want to have a bit of fun! For now we're looking at players mostly above the 50,000,000 100 Total Battle Stats mark while we're on our road to Diamond! but if you believe you're a good fit for this faction then please do reach out to the leaders!

Note: we're not a cache farm, nor a family who's going to do hardcore back-to-back chains. Though, they're both means that let a faction and it's members grow, so participation in them would definitely be required.

• 5 PA teams (payment system is pooled 40%/30%/20%/10%)
• Ranked war payments (80% paid out based on activity, war/chain hits, currently Platinum II)
• Investment fund
• Fun internal competitions (Russian Roulette tournaments, racing competitions, activity based competitions, raffles etc.)

• Full toleration (drug addiction, rehab)
• Full voracity (booster cooldown, cans)
• Steadfast as below (speed & dexterity are 12%, unlike the picture says.)

Next to the perks above, we've of course got the general perks for flying, alcohol boost etc. We also have an armory filled with medical items to use whenever you please (+ an armory stacked with Xanax to use whenever a war/chain is upon us!)

Join our family through this link, and choose your own mastery!

If you wish to know more, please reach out to any of the following leaders:

I would be apprehensive about changing this, but considering that ranked warring now has roster locks, it may not be totally necessary to have three days of recruit status - although that duration is certainly a huge deterrent preventing players from bouncing between factions.

I'm still looking for a shell around 1-1.5, looking to pay end of market prices or potentially above if the shell's good.

Open to buying a 1-1.5M, if its a decent shell, may overbid over marketprice.

it's just genuinely mind-boggling how you and your stooges in crime decide that mugging your own members is acceptable

Brother, you literally scammed your faction mates and restarted your account -- and paid it back when they found your restart. Fuck off, lmfao.

Anyhows, The Drunk Tank are morons for allowing in-house mugs, The Next Level don't have a good track record of protecting their own during Halloweek. Something something popcorn emoji. 

It's not. Cloudjumper confirmed in our team chat that the job points are for the job you had at the time of prize generating. 

First place hitter in Elimination not getting any special prizes and getting the same as people who did 400 hits sux a bit. :P

Damn, % on the Warlord? :O 

In general I think it's a nice option to have -- as this would allow players who don't have the in real life money to afford a subscription to also get the subscription items, have a better chance at books etc. 

Though, there's definitely a downside to it. It opens a whole new door to 'RMT' -- people will start trading their Torn cash to be gifted subscriptions to save them in real life cash etc. I also don't think it really attracts a big source of direct revenue, or at least not one that would weigh more than the downsides.

Jesus Christ, it was obvious Gold Dust would lose the 1vs1, but they're bleeding heavily, sheeeeeet.

Level 15, 4 days played, in Monarch Contagion. Who you think that restart was? ;] 

SHE'S FREE. bogie PART OF FREE THE TIDDIE CONFIRMED.

CONSPIRACY!

Yes.

You've lot done very well, especially with the big target on your back. And you specifically about also being a literal cloak for the others outside of [vice-]captaincy. I wrote in my piece that you were a target from the start because of pre-Elimination statistics. Which generally, it's logical, but so many TOP100 players do fuck all attacking wise. RGiskards' statistics alone drew the circle of your target, but he didn't participate at all. That sucks, this put you at a disadvantage from the start as well. A decent finish regardless! 

The part about myself in your piece is incorrect though. You were pretty much our real llast option and you made the decision 15 minutes prior, leaving me with zero other options than to stir shit in 'EPB' hoping something would come out of that, anyone could check the timestamps.

The choice is understandable though -- I get it's hard to trust someone you've not spoken to at that moment. Let's blame it on Mike not being persuaive enough! ;] 

Perhaps a bit of a weird message, but after seeing how much time I've actually got or could free up during Elimination, I may be looking to lead somewhere (1M+ plus). So if there's a HoF faction with inactive leaders in their subs or if someone else has a interesting proposition, hmu.

13,031,198,631 BS if it matters for the interesting propositions. (:

Cloak is offline, and the real people pulling the strings need him to post it, of course. 

EXACTLY. I NEED TO SLEEP. CAN'T MISS KARMA. ;-; 

And a small extra note - much respect to 811/Consequences, one of the few players at the top of the Battle Stats ranking who still gives a damn about the competition and using his stats for good. Put himself forward as a vice-captain, put down a lot of hits and was always available for consulting.

Hello, filthy round earthers!

Unfortunately, we've been mouth-guarded by the cabal and our journey has pretty much come to an end with our final push. It's been a blast. I have to run now, so here I leave my ramblings, the path of Conspiracy Theorists through my personal opinion.

The voting process!

Cheb was fastest with making a Discord - and per Elimination guidelines - you now are leader of the team. No, but for real - we had a decent voting process with Cheb, Jokur, myself and Omanpx being the most serious candidates. Prior to the voting started, myself, Cheb and Jokur already had good conversations and made the pact to choose each other and be [vice-]captains together. Quickly joined by Omanpx for his candidacy, experience and bot wizardry. Followed by 811 [you know, the top5 namechange guy] and CALAMITY_gRACE for their experience and timezone coverages. All amicable and luckily, no drama.

Alliances!

Due to us choosing each other prior to the voting process [there were no other real contenders], we could quickly form the base of solid alliances [or so we thought, bitches!] to work with. Cheb has his connections in PT, and myself and Jokur are pretty neutral in general. We'll have some friends, not a lot - but not a lot of 'enemies' too. I thought.

We've set up an alliance called: 'Elim Power Bottoms'. This alliance consisted of:

• Conspiracy Theorists
• Brain Surgeons
• Rocket Scientists
• High Voltage
• Sticks and Stones
• APEX

Originally, our primary target would have been Touching Grass given the pre-elimination statistics of their roster and activity. 

Quickly after, two other alliances had been made. Mother Milkers [orchestrated by Nightwing of Loose Cannons] - consisting of the 10 teams except for Inanimate Objects and Nine Lives. Their targets being obvious. And the other one being called BIG Alliance [orchestrated by AiR of Nine Lives], the latter unfortunately invited the entirety of EPB except for Rocket Scientists.

With EPB as our main alliance, we followed in the best interest of that alliance and that was simply to go with the 10 v 2. It truly felt bad betraying AiR this way, and damn, I didn't feel as guilty in years as when I saw this message from Rouge after we just launched the full attack. A very late hug for this one, Rouge.

The flip!

This has been the most stressful Torn part for me, probably ever. At around 13:20TCT on the 12th, EPB has flipped and teamed up with the remaining teams [bar Reptillians, but Dinosaurs are extinct.] against Brain Surgeons and ourselves.

I was the only [vice-]captain around, so I quickly scrambled as much puzzle pieces as I could and tried to see what's what. It had quickly become clear that everyone flipped. Hours and hours I've spent trying to get the ones who are going to be next in line to come together to flip with us and Surgeons, and whilst Touching Grass was open for the flip initially, they later decided it's too risky to join our sides.

We were expecting a flip to happen - that's for sure. We were the team with the most tickets farmed up until this point and would win a tie-breaker with anyone. Why would anyone willing to win keep a team with this activity in the competition? We could have sand-bagged, but hey, we were having loads of fun and spent a lot of time engaging the newer players. Being first in attacks 9 hours after being pinned attest to that. And only this morning, APEX finally overtook us with the rest still being far behind.

Whilst down at the bottom, we tried to have Reptillians join ourselves and kill Loose Cannons, but they pretty much were a car with no driver or were pretending to be. Leader absent and vice-captains not willing to take over and try to win.

Apparently, the plan from the backstabbers was to knock out Brain Surgeons [primarily for their leaders' past Elimination strategies, by some admissions] and to keep us in. Loose Cannons and Touching Grass would follow according to Rocket Scientists' strategy. But with no clear plan laid out, we would simply have been left out to dry and do their dirty work for them. We've exhausted every other option. I've talked to neutral parties, enemies, players I usually don't want to interact with [Hi Fidel], sent out a Hail Mary in the EPB server to see if anyone would turn on each other, but to no avail. And the latter naturally meant us being exited straight after.

Thank yous!

First, thank you to all theorists. You did extraordinary. You were deserving of a much better leadership that could take you all the way, I'm sorry.

I'm not going to make this post too long by naming all helpers, council, push captains and leaders - but a special thank you to the people who must've given up their social life for the last days as well. Leadership get shiny badges, but there's so many people who deserve shout outs. The ones who jump to mind straight away: MafuyuSD, Tiffinity, masanta, SavageHenry, Bobert2422, Viciously_Grim, Pilvlp, Prevalence, Cleansing-Flame, MaryPoppins, DimPerrin, and many more. Sorry for those I forgot here.

This year's Elimination did give a little spark back. We've had so many new players standing out and grinding out. There's a bright future. I'm forever grateful for the opportunity. I'll see you next year!

P.S.

LDP, I know you didn't have your fingers or toes crossed. And you gave me your word. I will never forget. I cri everytim.

I'm sure you could find a hooker in Vienna as well.
