rent till you own all standard bbs/2b in bank, then consider purchasing one, if your faction is active then using faction bank is just fine especially if you don't need the money for anything in particular.
~1b in bbs(fhg/lsc/tchs/sym/wssb) will return far more, than a max pi. even if you need vault access, you can buy a castle or palace and upgrade there and its still cheaper.
the goal of owning a pi should be one for much later, because 1.7b (sellers market fully upgraded pi) over 4-5 years could turn into 2-3times the value in blocks. considering fhg takes ~1 year to make your money back that means every year fhg is giving you ~600m returns just 3 years of owning fhg will pay for a pi. not including the cost of rent, which will be covered by other bb's.
2b in bank returns something like 300m every 3 months, which is 1.2b a year which is 4.8b over 4 years which again, more than pays for a pi +rent.
the other thing is, if you plan on piecing together a pi over time, you're losing HUGE on stat gains especially in the early stages of training.
i never understood the rush to buy a PI, there are much better things to do with your money. if you really need a vault for whatever reason, you can always hop back and forth between the castle/palace with vault upgrade.
i think current time limit for getting up and resitting is way too high. i've been up on the tables, gotten kicked/d/c/whatever mugged and now i can't play anymore because somebody mugged me and i don't have enough to cover
now i have to wait 24 hours before i can play poker again....i can appreciate players no longer being able to go south, but the current timer is way too long
when all action has ended, and the cards get flipped over. currently it highlights your 3 community cards and your 2 hole cards, to make your 5 card hand but the 3 community cards should show the winners hand always.
the highlighted cards should show the hand that won, instead of each individual persons 5 cards.
the showdown already goes way too fast, where, if there are multiple all-in's at showdown, you have like 1 second to see everybody ending hand. and most of the time it laggs out so you can't see anyway
on that note, showdown timers should be increased to 5 seconds so that we have time to comprehend what happened?
sometimes you go all in and you just lost, and you don't see any of the 5 cards and the winner just wins
if you sit down at a new table, and you "pay the big blind" from one of the blind spots, the rest of the table is forced to pay small blind and big blind to play the hand.
the small blind should be "dead money" in the middle, and the standard big blind should still be what it costs to play the hand(if there is no raise)
so if somebody comes in on the Small blind(SB) and hits the "pay the big blind" button it makes the next person have to pay SB, and big blind (BB)
the SB should just be dead money,
if this doesn't make sense i can try and explain it better
i would like to thank my faction leader Valkyrie [420363] of the great 89. Valk is a the best momma bear in all of torn, protecting all us cubs while helping us excel in the hard game of torn. She's been amazing in communicating to us noobs.

you can double mistle somebody who has 99k happy so you need 2 mistle, 1 stripper, 1 esc, and a friend whose going to 99k, then you can get 99k yourself.
for 48hr booster cd free.. and a 220m jump. w/ 9fhcs
however you get a little over 2 happy jumps in the same stack time as 1 hj 1150e + 1350e. so if you have money you can save time, and vice versa
you can also pay for faction mates or whoever who won't be using there BCD for anything. and get them to 99k happy
it doesn't really make sense to get 4 people to go, you're not really saving any more money for the jump. the cost you'd be saving is for the first 9 edvds to get to 99k. and if any one of you od on the esc part, everybody after is f**ked.
