ShadowSentinel: forum

Casuals are a 300k respect faction with a (roughly) once a month warring schedule, suiting players looking to step up beyond a training faction, or established players looking for a less hectic warring schedule.

We have Organised Crimes levels 1 - 6, and have perk trees for Steadfast, Toleration, and Voracity. Where possible, we try and accommodate all playing styles and requirements.

When it's war time we all come together, but outside of that we're pretty chilled out.

Not loads of rules. Don't be weird. Be level 15 or over. Actually turn up for wars. Chill out the rest of the time.

A while ago I started popping the results of my races into a spreadsheet. At the time I wasn't really planning anything, just doing it out of idle interest and to track my own progress. As the data grew, the tracker slowly evolved into tracking every car across every track, and it dawned on me this might of some use to people, so here it is.

What Is It?

This is my personal tracker of best lap times for each car, across each track. All cars from all classes are included, which means that cars that don't usually get the spotlight have their chance to shine here.

Your Times Suck and I Can Do Better, How Can I Add My Lap Time?

If you have a time you think beats one of the ones on my tracker (or, if you’re one of the first ones to submit a time for that car/track), please drop the race link below. I have a script that pulls the data from the race to verify, and will add it in.

Hang On, I’m Already On Here, How Did You Get My Result? Are You Stalking Me?!

If you’ve ever raced with me, either in official races, JLT, player leagues, etc., there’s a good chance I’ll have trawled that data and added it to my results tracker. From time to tim I also just check out random race ID's and pull any new data from those, even if I wasn't in that race myself.

In addition, I’ve also added the global and class records, however this was done at time of creation. I’ve tried to keep up with new records, but it’s always possible I’ve missed some.

But yes, I may also be stalking you.

What Does This Actually Prove?

Not a lot. It's impossible to know what upgrades people are running, so this isn't a fair comparison against cars. That said, I hope through time and as I get more data, it'll give a good overview of how the cars perform against one another overall, but a chunk of it's still going to come down to RNG.

Really, this is just for funsies and bragging rights.

The Disclaimer Bit

• These are not official results in any way nor are they endorsed by Torn staff
• This is not a perfect view of all racing results across Torn
• It is limited to results I’ve been informed about or seen first hand
• There is no reliable way to confirm what build people are using when these times were posted
• There is no fully reliable way to confirm the RS of each racer at the time of submission
• While the underlying data is verified, I am only human so errors are possible (but have yet to happen!)
• This data will not automatically update a racer who has changed their username, and will show the original username at time or submission unless I am otherwise notified
• If you or a loved one find yourself compiling masses of fictional race data for no real reason, please consult your doctor immediately

What’s Next?

Please help me populate this! There are still lots of gaps in my data, owing to the sheer volume of combinations of different cars and tracks to populate. I’m frequently hosting one lap races to try and populate these with basic data, but if others fancy helping that would speed things up massively.

LtCabel made the very good suggestion of adding in RS data, so perhaps splitting this even further into course, car, and RS brackets. At present I don’t hold RS data, but will try and track this going forward and, if I get to the point where I have enough data, I will build new tables for this. Thanks to the folks at The Pit Stop for responding and sending me additional stats!

I’d like to eventually turn this into a ‘non-racing league’ sort of thing, where if people can post better times then they win a prize. At the moment, the data isn’t populated enough to make this viable (e.g. I’d be bankrupt by you just posting a bunch of crap Class D times and claiming prizes), but once there’s enough data in there I’ll revisit this idea.

I’ll continue to update the data, upload new tables, and likely redesign stuff as we go on as this was just sort of a rough mock-up to get it out of the door. I'm not sure if I'll continue posting embedded images, figure out a new table format, or just link to a Google sheet, but that's all stuff I can worry about as we go on.

Thank you to everyone who responded on Discord or directly to provide me with data to get me going, and for all those who joined me in races.

Hi, we're Casuals!

We're a very small, low level group who are looking to set up a support network to mainly focus on helping each other out, working towards travel benefits/gym gains/etc., and only warring every month or so. We're not competitive, and we're happy just playing at our own pace.

However, to get to that stage we need a boost in respect, so we're looking to pick up some wars for a while and we're open to applicants who want to join.

We're mostly talking and refining things as we go, but the current arrangement is to pay out for all war hits or hits as part of a war chain. Nothing more complicated than that.

We're happy for any applicants of any level, the main thing is that you're active during the war so that, win or lose, we hopefully get a decent return so members get some decent pay and the faction can progress.

This would be ideal for people looking to take on the challenge of a lower level faction and have a smaller faction where your voice is heard and you can make your mark and drive future decisions. You're welcome to join permenantly, or just for warring and payouts, both are fine. OCs are fully paid out to participating members with no leadership cut.

If you're a newcomer to Torn looking for a faction, I would advise looking for larger factions with perks that will help your gym gains early on, and have more estbalished members who can help kit you out. But that said, if for some reason you're dead set on applying, we'd be happy to have you and guide you through the game the best we can.

If any of this sounds of interest, feel free to apply here!

Jeff's name is Jeff

So you’re playing as a persona the whole time?

Pretty weird if you ask me

No

Still not really sure what the logic is, people say it's based on crimes but it can't just be that

11:12:41 - 27/04/25 You used a Black Easter Egg gaining $18

07:36:11 - 07/04/26 You used a Black Easter Egg gaining $3,208

May be a combination of things, perhaps a base RNG value * crimes/missions or something. Who knows.

I look forward to wasting a third and finding out.

Good idea, I'm always after more merits so I'll give it a go and put in!

Thank you, appreciate your help!

Thank you, appreciate it!

I can confirm I've done the remaining George missions and the progress were as I expected, no other oddities experienced.

Can confirm, his name is indeed Jeff.

You could get a themed film night on the go. Untraceable. Unthinkable. I'm sure there's more

Just an update on this - I checked in again and now 'Sell a stolen item back to the shop' has been crossed out as completed randomly



I still haven't committed any dirty, horrible crimes, especially not shoplifting, for me to even have any items to sell back in the first place



I don't sell to shops often, however I did last week which perhaps ticked it off for some reason?

22:24:06 - 27/01/26 You sold 1x Donator Pack at $23,500,000 each for a total of $23,500,000 to a shop

Thank you for the revive!

Thanks both, appreciate it!

If that's the route you decide to take  then I'm happy with having George's missions marked as completed even if that means I don't get any rewards for it. I know that doesn't fix the underlying issue but it at least removes the erroneous mission screen, and I imagine I'm probably an edge case that most users wouldn't find themselves in anyway.

I assume I'll likely run into similar issues with the next mission given I don't use guns either, although that one might still display the required steps correctly.

EDIT: DIdn't want to bump the thread as not sure what guidelines are on that, so just to confirm - I've checked after a few more weeks and it's still the same, none of the other objectives have ticked off and it's still just the Shoplifting one that's showing as complete (despite having never done it)

Apologies for the delay in responding! Will update the sheet today. Thank you!

Another promising route is MoDuL's Race Tracker v3 - some interesting stuff going on there worth checking out!

This is not a big issue and is likely a by-product of unintended playstyle - I'm just reporting here just in case it relates to something that does need fixing though!

Dear arbiter of Torn, I hope this message finds you well

I, the Shadow Sentinel, the true and just self-proclaimed protector of Torn City, recently had the displeasure of speaking to George, and was shocked and appalled when he offered me the mission 'Criminal Methods'. The wretch wanted me to commit crimes on his behalf!

Apparently George didn't realise he was talking to Torn's highest level law abiding citizen!

853 days drug and crime free, like all good citizens of Torn should be!

I sat George down and told him what he was asking me to do was illegal, and that he should rethink his path in life. He just responded by burping and wandering off, but I like to think he'll consider what I said.

Amidst all this, something caught my eye - on George's mission screen, it shows the task 'Successfully shoplift some sweets' as having being completed.



I can promise you I've never done anything so vile of the sort. The Shadow Sentinel wouldn't say boo to a goose, never mind shoplift from a genuine tax paying Torn citizen. Or shoplift from a non-taxpaying one either, really. However, I would report them for tax fraud. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Anyway, to get to the point, the potential bug:

- 'Successfully shoplift some sweets' is showing as a completed task, despite me having never shoplifted or done any other crimes

While the bug doesn't negatively affect me, I wanted to bring it to your attention in case it highlighted that the condition logic was incorrectly tracking against something else - I'm not sure what that would be as I've never done any other crimes either.



I have bought from the sweet shop though as a proper legal customer, so maybe that was enough to tick it off?

I'm also still on Crimes 1.0 (as I literally cannot access the screen to migrate to Crimes 2.0 because it tells me I need to complete the tutorial), so I'm not sure if it might also relate to this.

On top of this, can I ask is George's tutorial a prerequisite to missions as a whole? The Wiki simply says level 5 is required for Duke, with no mention of the tutorial missions, but I haven't unlocked any additional missions after reaching level 5. If that is the case, is there any way to skip or 'time out' the Criminal Methods mission so that us law abiding citizens can continue onto the next missions without resorting to illegal methods? Some of us have to set a good example to the people of Torn, you know.

Thank you for your service, arbiter of Torn, and I hope you have a safe and entirely legal day

I assume I'd fall under Pioneer for my wacky playstyle that can only be described as "Why are you even here?"

I'm the highest level (non-test - curse you romankr_test!) account in Torn who hasn't done any form of crime. I've also not done any drugs, however I imagine someone might be higher levelled and beat me at that, not sure how to track that. Also no guns (Batman rules, innit).

Hell, originally I was no mugging too, I only had to revoke that after I did an accidental mug while bleary eyed in a war at 3am once. I felt so bad I immediately sent it all to the Church to repent for my sins.

This leads to all sorts of funky things, like being unable to complete the tutorial due to it forcing you to do drugs/crimes (ched plz), and as a result I can't access missions, crimes pages, etc. and a few other funky things that don't load properly or divert me elsewhere.

Nobody said the path of justice was easy. Or even functional.

As for image, no idea. Two hands in prayer? A Bible? The ShadowSentinel signal? A giant straight edge X?
