Belle you're in the wrong, will you actually be able to suck it up and admit that?
What LegendaryKing11 & auxman were bringing to the forums is what the game is all about, they brought out the social element and had loads of people engaged ... they breathed life into a stale / boring meta with their shenanigans.
Swallow your pride and don't pee on our parade, the community was LOVING this.
The rioting rabble has finally been put to rest, hordes of unwashed filth have ran for the hills losing the will to fight on. It seems our glorious albeit simple leaders were no match for the nobles in this game of Torn's.
It was an honour and a pleasure to roll around in the dirt with you all! I'm glad I got stuck in the muck that is this event and met a bunch of people I otherwise wouldn't have.
Some stand out Peasants for me would have to be ...
Cock : For his insane generosity early on, handing out DP's like they were candy and a bunch of other supplies to get the green leafs on board. We all worship cock!
Dutch : He really came in cluth these last few days, bankrolling us poor bastards with endless cans, he gave us the energy to fight on to the bitter end. A fine specimen and an OG.
Jarrod_wg : Definately not Jared from Subway was always active in chat, trying to lift moods with his mischief and linking some insane mug numbers you wouldn't believe. A true Shat Lord.
King_Taurus : A 1.7 year old account but absolutely threw down like a champion, this kid has a hefty set of bull nads. You was always on the front line pushing and staying in good spirits, you're gonna go far in this game.
Droq : Our very own worm tongue! Constantly dribbling his venom into the ears of those that would listen, causing an absolute ruckus within the ranks with his ceaseless sensible questions!
There were too many stand out characters and moments to list them all. You're a bunch of real ones, except for that ones that weren't (you know who you are), I love you all and thank you for making 2025 Elim memorable!
What were your favourite moments? Who stood out to you on our team?
Luckily for me I've only been really playing since last July, so the time I've sunk is a drop in the ocean compared to some of you poor fudgers. Ched really has you guys n' gals by the goolies, I wish you all luck in breaking the cycle.
The routine is so mind numbily boring, mechanics feel old / stale and the social element is severely lacking. Everything is already solved, you'll never catch up to the top unless you swipe (by design obviously).
I hope the denizens of Torn continue to respect the authority of the 'Helpers' and that they keep the halls of GD clean. Don't you dare try to have fun, drop bombs or socialise. Ched only has so many millions of £££'s, he can't afford to train / pay staff, so be nice to the help!
Imagine shooting yourself in the foot and completely killing the hype and momentum of something that was honestly fun and awesome ... off the backs of the community and not the game itself.
I think Belle (and an extension of that, bogie) have handled this incredibly poorly, do you not train your staff? How did this all get to this point?
Don't know why this is all being spun as if the threads were removed by accident, they weren't, the bombers reached out to Belle and there was community outcry and support for Aux / King in GD. It was ignored.
Even bogie knew that Belle over stepped and reinstated the threads hours later when he came online. He claims that he apologised but I didn't see that anywhere in his public posts. Don't know why it was such an impossibility for Belle to apologise. Maybe they shouldn't be in a position of power if that's how they'll react, treat the community and excuse their decisions they made. Then to hide behind the caveat of you can't do anything to me, I'm staff ... that's weak.
I've had my own issues with the 'helper' in question before. Good to see that nothing has changed.
I guess they're still in training and or that 'helpers' are allowed to just fire from the hip when ever they decide to look at GD.
I didn't see any apologies in those threads you replied too.
I think an apology from Belle along the lines of (oops my bad / I was wrong) would of nipped this in the bud, don't know why that was such a big ask or an impossibility.
Also, feels like a PR spin at the end "ultimately said whales do not dictate how Torn is run", this wasn't the main content of the problem or the fallout.
I know you're probably covering for your 'Helper' but the bombers let them know they were their posts.
The posts in question were relevant and being engaged with by the community. I don't think they were just accidentally caught up in sweeping away all the green leaf / low quality posts.
Belle always seems to be heavy handed when it comes to moderating forums.
They really sucked the air and excitement out of the whole thing for no reason and their attitude after the fact wasn't all that great.
