I think it would be really neat if, while flying, you could open up your laptop and buy any item. It makes sense because you can trade stocks and send emails, so it wouldn't be a stretch when it comes to realism.
The catch, to keep it realistic, would be that you wouldn't have access to it right away or in whatever country you landed in. Like, you couldn't buy some smoke grenades you forgot to bring with you to defeat a difficult opponent who is camping out overseas.
When you got back to Torn it would be waiting for you in a box in your inventory.
Another fun catch would be if there was a new theft crime called "Steal a package from someone's mailbox." It would have a high failure rate, but if you succeeded you would get some random Torn person's Tornmazon package they haven't opened yet and whatever is in it.
And maybe a camera doorbell could be an upgrade you could make to your property so you'd know who got your package so you could get your revenge.
I've had this idea for a while and I can't believe I'm just now mentioning it.
I think it would be really fun if we were able to shoot down someone's plane.
Hear me out. A missile could be a really expensive item you could get, and when you chose to use it it would be a one-time-use thing. You'd have to type someone that you know is flying's username, and when you used it there would be a slight delay before their plane got shot down.
That would be an interesting way to mess with someone other than simply using bounties and DBs and toilet paper, but it wouldn't be entirely negative for the one who got shot down.
I think a great addition to that would be that when you got shot down you ended up on a desert island. There would be items that you could only get there (ex. coconuts, totems, etc.), and if you stuck around long enough you could gather enough driftwood to make a raft to slowly float back to the city. Cons: You lost a lot of play/trading/fighting/training time because your enemy shot you down. Pros: Neat stuff to sell and make $$$ because it would be pretty rare.
I'm known in the small group of players who know me as being really nice and giving people stuff. This isn't the way to achieve thatt.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Get to level 15 as soon as you can. Go on and attack inactives that are smaller than you. As you saw above, some people will pay you to attack them so they can get easy defends (stats that show that someone attacked them and lost). That's usually frowned upon but now is the time to do that if you want to. You want to get to level 15 asap because after that you can start flying. Fly overseas and buy flowers and plushies and things and sell them. That's how you start to make money.
2. You're also not going to get a high paying job right now. You have to have good job stats to do that. Join one of the base jobs maybe and start raising your work stats.
3. Don't beg. Again, don't beg. You'll get bountied and attacked within an inch of your life. People will also probably try to scam you. If something seems too good to be true it probably is. If you want to trade something, use the trade function in the game. Always assume people are trying to trick you unless it's someone you know and trust.
Nobody's going to want anything you can give them right now unless you get really lucky in city finds. Just grind your way up to lvl 15 so you can start flying and take it from there.
I read this entire thing without really paying attention to the names and thought "that sounds like Kayo." Then I looked and saw that it was indeed Kayo. You're a good dude so I'll just leave it at that because I don't care.
