Thanks everyone for coming to the next installment of Respectless guide to domestic terrorism.
Id like to welcome you all to play a game with me. Much like Jigsaw, there will be a great deal of carnage, but SOMEONE is going to get lucky.
I have in my possession 6 parcels. One of them is a donator pack, and 5 of them are SEDs. All you have to do is put the words "Show me whats in the box!" in your reply, and I'll add you to the roster, and send you a box!
Make sure to let me know how pissed you are that I blew up your living room.
Good luck and may the odds be in your favor!
Round 1
ExecKiller - The only way to remember exec is through the news headline.
Lewis - Lost about 60,000 dollars in illicit substances in the ensuing blast. Cheesus - Cheesus met Jesus.
sheep - Hasnt opened his yet, but he is definitely in for a surprise.
men - I put a clock in the package so it ticked ominously. (WINNER)
Souleth - They say you can find a little piece of souleth anywhere you look.
Round 2
Peets - At the cost of his mental health, Peets has won the greatest prize of them all. . . A few extra days. (WINNER) ErikBloodthirst - Erik has a bloodthirst that only IEDs can satisfy. . . And he got one
Hawk - KABOOM. BLAM. KAPOW. GucciGoose - You know whats REALLY GUCCI? Explosions. SkiralS - Some stories really were meant to end. Some end with a bang. AngryCan - Both angry, AND canned, you can now find him in the hospital, ranting about the good old days.
Due to popular demand and ceaseless DMs asking me when round 3 is. . . we are back for:
ROUND 3: pikachupalooza - Found themselves a nice windfall! (WINNER) Piemaster90 - Found he had a few new bits and bobs. Reiji01 - Ouch. Thats gonna take some cleanup. Username137 - When youre all alone at night, they say you can still hear him groaning in pain. Legendbadger - They say Legends never die. . . Legendbadger might be the exception. ORF - ORF is also lore accurate to what was said when the bomb went off.
"We dont feel its necessary to completely destroy that source of income for players" ~ aka, "We dont think its necessary to destroy OUR source of real life income at this time."
Call a spade a spade my guy. DP value is your entire market. Points dont provide income. DPs do.
Ive been in a lot of elimination runs, and this has been one of the most fun/best groups. I said I would follow our leadership to the last ticket, and to this moment I have not ceased.
To my fellow sparkies -- may both sides of your pillow be cold, every night til Valhalla takes you.
To the Apex Members - May there be a lego brick under your foot every other step you take.
It's all fun and games until someone pulls out the receipts.
Its a cycle as old as time: Aged player plays game, new player gets mad and antagonizes older player, older player "teaches" newer player manners, Newer player posts on forums looking for help, Older player drops receipts,
And now the new player has to content with 200+ people making their life miserable, and not just the initial person they pissed off.
Now that IS suspicious. Who has book clubs these days? Geez, just for falling for that line the fed should be perma.
Jokes aside though--
I cant say I'm happy with the say some of these bans are panning out. Torn City Staff is effectively a judiciary supreme court, and every ban they enforce is a precedent.
Setting the precedent of "If you interact financially with someone who has broken the rules, you are also liable to be punished" is a rule that I cannot say I am comfortable with.
If I buy cheap donator packs from someone who offers me a pretty good deal, and then find out that person got those packs illicitly, I shouldnt be expected to know that.
I shouldn't have to run a background check, full credit check, charge a temporary credit card holding fee, and put funds in escrow pending account evaluation just to send money to someone in a game that revolves around-- and bills itself on-- its economy.
Sorry PJ, bogie, Ched, but it's not our job to enforce your rules. That's your job. You can say we have a duty to report, but ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING is obvious in retrospect, and not everything is obvious in the moment.
"You should have known" doesn't account for people who aren't smart enough, didn't really bother, or couldn't spare enough attention to put the pieces together.
More so, unless you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he 100% absolutely DID IN FACT know. . . I feel the wrong call was made.
At one point Torn had killed all the events, and effectively I was logging in to do nothing but take Xanax and participate in termed wars. I was so bored out of my mind, that I was about to quit. I liquidated my entire account, and told my fac that I was gonna put it all on a RR game. If I won the RR game, id stay. If I lost the RR game, I was quitting. . .
I had 9 of them I missed from last year. From what I noticed, on day 2 of the event, they all spawned at once and I found 11 in a single day. The rest of my event has been the normal 2 per day though.
The eggs dont all spawn at once, they spawn at about 2 per day. Ive noticed they dont spawn at the turn of the day, but ill wake up to them being there, so some time between 00:00 TCT and 12:00 TCT.
We understand your frustration, and are actively working on a solution. Before we discuss your issue at length, we need to confirm that you arent a dirty clanker.
Please use the below method for verification. If you are unable to complete verification, we will have to hunt you down.
Weird to me that youre now the third person in the last few weeks that has complained about Derrick being a sore loser of a mugger. Hes also been known to take out his anger on entire factions. Kinda silly if you ask me.
Usually, you stop chain mugging people once you realize you're not getting anything out of them.
Giving what effectively amounts to a rogue unpredictable intelligence unregulated access to your computer is generally ill advised, I would think. Be it AI, your neighbor, or an intelligent monkey.
Perhaps, though honestly if I saw a new player who almost immediately started socializing and joining facs, etc, I would wonder whether or not they were coached by a current player, or are already a current player.
When I was day zero, I didnt know left from right and had no idea the casino existed.
Maybe im just not the brighest tool in the cabinet.
