There is so much variety around coffee that it could be a great addition to Torn. There is everything from light roast to dark roast and so many different ways to do those that it could be a great addition to the Energy Drink Family.
Positives:
Since coffee, except for decaf, contains caffeine it could grant a drinker some bit of energy. This boost could be 5 points for a light roast to maybe 20 points for a dark roast. Also, where coffee differs from e drinks though is that it could also grant a small 1-to-2-point nerve boost.
At this point, the price point has not been determined. Current energy drinks can get expensive, especially for newer players on a budget. Coffee is not intended to break the new player bank.
Negatives:
Using coffee would carry a similar cooldown to current energy drinks though shorter due to the penalty for dependency described below. Cooldown could be approximately half to three quarters that of current energy drinks.
Because of the caffeine in coffee, it carries the risk of dependence should a drinker drink too much for too long. In the real world, withdrawal can result in a headache and a general feeling of crappiness. In game, that same thing can be represented by an initial hit to Happy of 25% with a gradual drop of 1% every 5 minutes until fresh coffee is ingested or 24 hours have passed. The max drop is to 25% of original happy. Going to Switzerland and rehabbing can also reverse the loss of happy and remove the addiction.
Discussion:
This is just the start of the idea and I am open to constructive feedback to make it better. Ideally, the positives and the negatives should be balanced. This preserves the mechanics and feel of the game while giving players yet another way to customize and play the game in the way they want to play. I for one, know that I cannot function in RL without my coffee and am sure my TC avatar would appreciate some as well.
Is there a way to use the API to pull a list of faction members and their faction bank balance? In this case, it is my faction and trying to pull a list of members and their balance as we are looking to help as we can. Of course can do manually, but a programmatic method would be faster and more accurate. Thanks

Have you all considered a move away from passwords all together? Perhaps using OTP from an app like the Google or MS Authenticator might improve the security of player accounts since there would no longer be a password to steal. An attacker would have to spoof the output from an OTP provider. I think you all have the plumbing in place now since you send OTPs to email. Email is not ideal as it can also be compromised and many users reuse passwords. Using an app would strengthen the protection of accounts.
