Successful Political Assassination @ 45 NNB. · · 41 likes

Hello folks,

This achievement says significantly more about the criminal strength of my peers and the tenacity of our OC planner than it does of myself, but still, I'm thrilled to have been pulled through a successful PA at 45 NNB and 434 days old! Hopefully this might be useful for other planners etc.

You and your team successfully assassinated someone! View the details here! 21:47:49 15/09/19

The OC instantly bumped my NNB up to 50.

Huge thanks to Rosie, mr-burns, GunForHire, Frinzell and T-Max!

Crappy trainers to gold AK one swap at a time! · · 9 likes


*In the unlikely event I do make it to a gold plated AK-47 by swapping items, it will be donated active new players as a start-up fund.

One pair of 'Kermit Green' trainers available to swap. Previously owned by Mark Zuckerberg, although these shoes have kept their sole. I've been challenged to turn this pair of kicks into something great, so if you want to swap then that would be shoeper!

Hey folks,

 

I'm back after a pretty long disconnect. Loads of things have changed in Torn, but one thing still intact is the ability of Torn players to spin a good yarn.

 

Back when I was a n00b someone told me that there was a certain building on the city map that if you clicked on it, it would instantly pay out $1b. The building changed every hour, so you had to persevere. Which I did. Until I realized I'd been hazed. 

 

The other myth I heard was that Taylor Swift played Torn but her pseudonym was a closely guarded secret.

 

Likewise, a faction buddy told me that if you sold a certain sequence of items from your bazaar in a certain order some mystery button (?) would appear. 

 

Obviously most (all) of this is junk, but I'd love to hear other rumours, myths, conspiracy theories and wild conjecture! I might even try to write it up for the newspaper for that elusive 'journalism' merit, so if you'd rather keep your crazy machinations secret then please fire over a message.

 

Cheers, Ysbryd.

 

 

DeLorean - New car for the Torn City Raceway. · · 12 likes


So, I'm hopeless at racing. I spend most of my time in hospital, and the remainder in 6th position. But that doesn't mean that I don't have fun. What would make things even more fun would be to be able to sit in 6th position in the seat of a DMC DeLorean. As an 80's fanatic, this would basically make my life! Any chance we could have a new vehicle please? Thank you, Dodger.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, send me your bricks!

 

Hello folks,

 

Once again I've jumped feet first into something and found myself overwhelmed. After some awesomely entertaining (and dubiously truthful) chats about Torn myths and legends, I find myself trying to prove or disprove a couple of the wildest.

 

Here's the premise; if I can rustle up a sufficient quantity of bricks I can build a castle. Or a pyramid. Or a BBQ depending on who you ask. Either way you shake it, I need 1,000,000 bricks, and as happy as I am to buy those ten at a time from bazaars, if you happen to have a stash of bricks you don't want and fancy donating to my masonry cause, please send them over - I'll be thrilled to take them off your hands!

 

Cheers, Ysbryd (Ysbryck?)

I'm quitting (For now)! You can have my stuff! ·

Any stuff you have spare to help someone who is entirely reliant on DEX would be amazing, thank you. Also, any bricks you have lying around...I'm determined to build a castle!

I think I missed this! Can someone give me some background?! 😂

Brick castle update! 

 

Well, I'm at 5,000 bricks (thank you to those who sent some over). As the option to convert said 5,000 bricks into a small outdoor toilet or BBQ hasn't appeared, I assume the castle is an all-or-nothing thing.

 

So, onwards! Maybe at the end of this experiment I can set up Torn's first builder's merchants. We'll call it Bricks 'n Bobs or something. 😂

You bought 10x Brick on SilverDeluxe's bazaar at $390 each for a total of $3,900

17:34:29 - 25/07/24

You bought 25x Brick on CybrWench's bazaar at $797 each for a total of $19,925

17:34:08 - 25/07/24

You bought 592x Brick on RAGE's bazaar at $400

 

Well on my way to a Castle here, folks 😂

If you have any bricks spare, they'll find a welcome home here...as long as they're not beaned at my head, of course.

I'd love it if 'luck' was a hidden metric, it would explain the omnishambles I make in Torn. I'll dig around a bit and see what I find 

 

As a side-bar; what is the UI in your screenshot, please? I've been away so long and I think DocTorn has gone the way of mini-disks.

Only seems right I test this, it's easier to prove than the Morgan Freeman thing anyway...Thus starts a new era of obsessive brick collecting. 😂

There's surely a whole list of celebrities who 'play' 😂 Wasn't there a newspaper article irl about people in Theresa May's cabinet playing?

Great idea, makes it worth defending territory with a racket rather than just abandoning it or having to hand over the payouts to bigger factions.

Dodger's Crazy Swapathon / Trainers to AK · · 1 like

Thanks Dunmugmeh!

Still no takers yet, so if anyone wants to swap something for a drug pack, then let me know what you have and it's cool back story and the rest will become history. You will, in short, become instantaneously notorious! And hopefully help a bunch of n00bs to boot...what could be better ;)

Thanks for reading, Dodger.

Dodger's Crazy Swapathon / Trainers to AK · · 1 like

Evening folks,

I'm resurrecting something that went stale a few months back; long story short, I started with a pair of green trainers and through a series of swaps hope to get as close to a Gold AK-47 as possible. The final swap will be sold and the funds set aside for new players. The original post is here: https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=10&t=16079135&b=0&a=0&start=0&to=19094891

The current item is a Drug Pack! from dunmugmeh [538353] who wasn't sure of the precise origin of the drug pack, but a little digging on my behalf uncovered that it was overlooked when border agents in San Diego arrested and searched an 81-year old woman after they found 34 heroin packages weighing 92 pounds in her apartment last year. These are STEALTH DRUGS folks, they're INVISIBLE to the cops, anyone care to swap up?!

Best wishes,
Dodger.

Hello Mephesto...I have basically zero understanding of coding etc. so I appreciate that it might be a nightmare! I just thought it'd be a cool thing without having any idea how hard it would be to do! xD  

Chat Option in Russian Roulette ·

I thought it might be fun to have an easy, on-page, chat link to your opponent in Russian Roulette to taunt / encourage / gaslight etc. What do you think?

Many thanks, Dodger.
