Me and AC had an argument. I bountied him and he bountied me back. It was a matter of principle on both sides. Fair is fair and I was willing to take my medicine like a man, which I did without complaint. With that in mind, I want to emphasize that I have not interacted with AC at all since late December. These messages and comments (among many others) weeks after the instigating argument are thus all unprompted.
19:00:21 - 26/01/23 AC sent 1x Box of Tissues to you with the message: I didn't mean to kill your uncle, i just said some words online & now he's dead. sad thing is, everytime u think of him you'll think of me laughing my tits off. 23:10:26 - 26/01/23 AC sent 1x Box of Tissues to you with the message: here, go cry over your dead uncle, you little bitch. bounties don't effect me; 'cos i quit playing torn last year. there's nothing you can do. :D
Also one example of several weeks of global chat comments to this effect (and the only one I remembered to note):
AC: guys, watch out, i might kill your uncle with my conspiracy theories.
In effect, I have been taunted for a month or so with a family member's death culminating in AC messaging me...all that, followed a while after with more taunting about my family member's death followed by apparent attempts to circumvent the blocks I was advised to take. In response to this, Torn staff seems to say that this is somehow permitted and part of the game...
I really hope I'm misunderstanding staff's response to this. The lack of a response is a bit...too extreme at this point. This is a clear instance of harassment as defined by the site's own rules and it's difficult to even argue that it's mild harassment considering it's AC taunting me about them killing a family member after weeks of taunting me about said family member's death. >sigh< Hopefully somebody can explain the logic behind the response because how this entire thing played out feels really out of line from Torn's staff.

Duke, the giveaway of you and your helpers (I assume they're there) was much appreciated and it's very cool that you're capping it off with a 'pay it forward' kind of deal that's also a callback to your first giveaway. Hope you and your boys had fun and enjoyed your holidays! Cheers![image: i.ibb.co]
Oh man, it's Christmas Eve here so I may or may not have had too much fun with this one. When you asked to write it like 'your a kid writing to the fat guy in the suit' I tapped deep into my inner child and ask myself what my child self would ask for and how and it struck me instantly.
First off, pens? Crayons? Baby stuff. You know what the real big boys would use to write to Santa? Water colors(remember to let dry before sending).
Went for the 'overexcited kid writes to Santa and now their mom and dad have to smooth over the rough edges' vibe. Think I nailed it. But wait! What use is a letter to Santa without the envelope to actually send it to Santa?
Now we're all ready to ship this letter straight to Jolly Ol' Santa Cala-. Wait, f***. Forgot the stamp. And it's too late to go to the post office now with the crowds! Drats! Maybe next year...
