Nanortalik, Greenland - New travel spot idea · · 24 likes

As a high-mileage flyer (relative to my time having played), it is my opinion that a travel destination approximately 1 hour away from Torn City would help round out the options for those of us who spend a fair amount of time intermittently away from our keyboards.

I propose Nanortalik, Greenland as a new travel destination. Baby seal plushies, some type of lichen as a 'flower' type, and maybe some Viking-inspired melee weapon(s) given its history.

Notes:
a) Slightly more expensive due to it's remote and isolated nature
b) Travel times calculated using roughly the same scale as the existing destinations
c) The old city was one of the first locations in Greenland to be settled by the Norse.

I see this as a solid recommendation, and for logical reasons. Thoughts?

Without a doubt, my fellow group of employees and I have the liveliest and most active chat that I've been a part of during my time here in Torn. From real talk to irreverence, we leave no base uncovered in our interactions. But I've often wondered to myself, 'What would others think if they were to see even a bit of the insanity that flows from our keyboards here?'.

Well, I have my answer; too bad that it's not what I'd anticipated.

Mon, 18:29 TCT sopwithcamel74: We supply the juice to tickle your goose

The short description of the convo that this came from centered on energy. Imagine my surprise when I open the latest edition of the Torn City Times and read this article:

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/1630

Here's the damning exerpt for those adverse to clicking through and seeing it for themselves:

The Munster Energy Corporation has today announced the release of three new can items, adding Crocozade, Damp Valley and Goose Juice to their existing selection of energy-providing products.

Does coincidence exist in this world of ours? Absolutely. Is this a case of it? Absolutely not.

I expect immediate compensation in the form of 5% of all future sales of the Goose Juice beverage, and 2% of the sales of all Munster products retroactive from the time this article went to print (about half an our ago now).

My demands shall be met immediately, or there will be dire consequences.

You wander into the church looking for pious souls to approach. Pastor Williams emerges from his confessional booth and smiles at you. "I sense you're a person of faith, my child," he mutters. "I shall do you a good deed. Show me your goods," he asks. You offer your discs to the pastor and he picks a few out after reading the blurbs on the back. "A fair exchange for you, my child," he says, as he walks over to his pulpit and retrieves a set of rosaries.

As I see it, the issue has become that 'win at all costs' has taken precedent over a fun, engaging user experience. More so to the point, we've collectively bought into the mindset where winning is the only way to have fun.

That is a bit of a paradox, because in a game built largely around the premise of progress and statistical superiority, what else is there to fixate on? My personal answer is that, at it's core, the social aspect of Torn will always trump being the proverbial 'best' at anything in the game. Doesn't feel to be the direction we're moving in - everything remains centered on the arms race, where domination remains the focal point.

That might be a gross oversimplification in some aspects, but I 100% believe that it's at the heart of the scripting discussion, whether you're in the camp that sees it as a problem or the side that sees it as a non-issue.

I don't see a fix for bridging this divide in the community, save for having two completely separate warring systems (which sounds dreadful!). But as someone who used to be staunchly anti-scripting but who now sees the utility in it, I support the proposed effort to integrate some of the more controversial features into the core game, and it becomes more about preparation, strategy, communication, coordination, and activity than it is who's more willing to push the envelope as it relates to developing and utilizing scripts.

Sorry for the late reply...

I was under the impression that it didn't update at all while traveling, and only seemed to change upon landing. My expectation would be that, whenever the data is updated in T, it would show in the player sidebar regardless of whether or not said player was traveling.

If that is not correct, no worries - I'd have to recreate the circumstances under which it occurred. If I'm wrong (and it sounds like I am) I'll post here.

Sorry if this has been reported - looked a few pages back through the thread and didn't see it, so here goes:

Is the click-through from the energy bar to the gym page/nerve bar to crime page broken for anyone else? I believe it's stopped working sometime over the last 24 hours.

Is there a chance that this might change at some point? I can't speak for the general consensus, but it would be a nice and welcome change.

So, will international crimes be implemented, or no?

Foreign jail systems sound like a good time.

I've noticed that the Company Addiction indicator on the sidebar doesn't update at the tick if you're traveling - it will only update when you land. Is that something that can be tweaked in a future update?
