I'm Vy, its my birthday today! :) Some of you already know me, I might have revived you or tried recruiting you for The Collective Resistance or Nuclear Therapy, others might know me because I've chatted with what feels like half the player base and made some incredible friends during my year in Torn City.
Tornians have a bad rep, but in reality my experience has been that most you are genuinely nice people. So thank you all for making my year in Torn a fun and enjoyable experience, it really has been something I'll remember forever!
A lot has happened during my year, some things I'm proud of:
-Beat my goal of 365 merits and over 10% YATA Score -Got over 10m in stats with a balanced ratio, unlocked my first special gym -Got level 100 Reviving -Almost done with crimes, only got scamming and a bit of burglary left -Finished 1st in League 1 Group A JLT, while i didn't win, making it to the race offs was really cool! -Made Council at The Collective Resistance, had access to 40b in vault and didn't steal any of it! Woop Woop!
Here are some merits I'm very proud of:
-Kill Streaker 3, got my 500 streak merit by not sleeping for a week -The Fett, 500 bounties, achieved at the same time as my 500 kill streak, all placed by my faction mates at The Collective Resistance -Poker King, me and my buddy Teo spent 10h at Houn v Houn clicking "Check", some painful f**k ups, and some great practice on how to handle large stacks of cash -Attention Seeker, Use 25k Medical Items, didn't quite make it, but finished 10th in the TTT and should be done this month!
Special thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way!
-TerenceHill [2834735] for reaching out and helping out when i was only a few days old -nuchoromero [2717419] for trusting someone new to the game with a leadership position -Teo [3001282] and Honus_Wagner [3158768] for being the bestest friends and merit buddies i could ask for! -D3vl [710249] for warning me instead of buy mugging that one time i forgot to hosp! -Santa_Claus [2660609], Jierda [2655558], -Ready- [2213459], and Rantari [958716] for welcoming me into Nuclear Therapy and being awesome!
Thank you all! I'll send a Xanax to the first 100 people wishing me happy birthday in this thread! :) Sorry if there's some delay!
I have no idea how these people dont get insta banned.... Like J_aims was never fedded after that activity thread came out, heres how's his activity looked as a reminder:
Then the thread came out and he turned off his script:
Any consensus on how much the stats matter for match making? Do you guys think having a 10b low activity big boy makes a significant difference in matchmaking? Or is it just too early to tell?

I do fight Diamond wars and those work a bit different, i have 786 assist, so yeah not as many as you but those 1.4k hits werent termed unlike yours. So you know apples and oranges. If they do what they promise and make reasonable match ups happen, I do believe that many more factions both low and high ranked will say no to terms just because they now have a chance to win.
"Without changes to rewards, this won't change the rate of terming."
Interesting take all i can say is that we will term much less if we are not matched vs NS or Monarch or whoever else has people with trillions in stats.
"There is no incentive to keep warring past maximum loser caches if you're the losing faction, or past the lead to win by matchup if you're the winning faction."
The incentive is wanting to win. We are happy to have a 50k score war. If theres a chance we will fight because its fun. Wars are the only gameplay Torn has, if you wanna give up and give us the win we will be happy to do that, youre gonna get half war pay by losing anyways.
And yet, the proposed changes are still MUCH better than what we have now. At NT we try not to term as much as possible and from everything I've read the changes are a huge improvement to the current system of boring terms and uneven matches.
I'm personally super happy that we're finally getting matchmaking even if it has some problems. They can work on those too after the release, but change needs to happen.
