It was a normal day, nothing special, downloaded a bunch of games that were flashing on social media, like Facebook, Twitter, pornhub, not too sure about the last one but it was there somewhere. From the graphics on ad I was like hell yeea.
After 5 Min I decided Pokemon go was more exciting.
Years went by, candy crush was a thing of the past, the memories of playing angrybirds while on the loo was gone, devil may cry took too long to load.
Something inside me spoke, was it ignorance, was it bliss, hell I can't recall the day or time. There it was in the popup TORN, like a scene from the matrix I had to make the decision.
It was not a choice of the colour of the pill, it was more of I need to go relieve myself if continue watching the dumb dance trend that's in my feed.
Whether it was sublimanel or by chance, my finger...it was I hope that touched the download button.
By the time I came back my phone wanted to know more info from me than the last time a police officer found me with let's just say things inside a bag.
Reluctantly I gave up more secrets than a soviet spy that was getting tortured, eventually the game let me in.
And it was not like the nice graphics on ad, I tried opening up different tabs but to no avail.
Chapter 2
Deletion
Well realising that my now great phone with graphics got abused by a text based game that has the graphics if Roblox and Minecraft had a baby I obviously deleted the game.
Falling back to mindless scrolling and playing online games that forced me to play with Xbox controllers, having to download files the size of Tesla robots activation and numerous NASA secrets every time these games even opened.
I deleted them too.
And downloaded more .
And deleted again.
Once more stuck in a terrible loop of mindless scrolling.

Chapter 3
Rubber neck.
It did not take long for me to realise that my wife was not dooms rolling and was getting upset, and happy, and frustrated at times. Using her laptop at the table was nothing out of the ordinary. But the conversations were a bit off. At first it was who is hitting who then it was talks about going to foreign lands and buying contraband.
I started getting suspicious and on occasions asked " babe? What are you up to?" And the response was always " it's a game called torn!"
Now I have been around the block and I know what games looks like and that is not what they look like, well not these days.
Persistent irritation and the usual leaning over like I'm overhearing some whisper she got mad, like divorce mad.
Fine! I replied a wont look again....
But I could not help myself, I was started to think that I'm a peeping tom. Always hurting my neck in the process or doing the old walk past.
To no avail , she finally said the words " why don't you just download the game"
Trying to be better myself as a snoop, I agreed.

Chapter4
The interrogation repeated.
Being busy doing manly stuff as all manly men do when going about the manly stuff I handed her my phone and says, you download it then.
Repetitive questions of the passwords and what my non existent dog ate last week she asked the two things that are honey in my ears what name would you like to use.
Now scroll back since the creation of our gaming love there was only one KINGPIN54, looking To her smugly I said it "Kingpin54"
As smug as I said it the reply was " that will be taken by now!"
Desperate to cling on to the only identity I have I calmy, well sarcastically said, there is only one KINGPIN54, as I allready had the domains.
Then it came, the sweet words that it worked.

Chapter 5. A new old start.
Waiting for the other half to finally hand over my device that has been my friend for so long, I started thinking, maybe I should start an online shop selling rocks.
That was a bad idea as someone allready sold rocks as pets. In to the next idea....
"Here you go" she handed my phone back Asif it was just some arbitrary item.
"Thanks" I replied like it was just another Tuesday taking out the trash, or is it on Monday, any case that's another story all together.
The phone looked the same.
She did not.
There was a glimmer in her eyes that I only witnessed once before when I bought rufies....I mean weed.,...doesn't matter what I bought.
The look of welcome to the game. That look you give to someone when they try mortal combat for the first time, knowing they don't know any moves. That was the look.
To be continued.....
Chapter 6 : what now?
Having my phone back after that felt like eternity, I look at the screen ... Scroll, push buttons...nothing.
Felt like I was back in kindergarden with a pencil that my friend John was very proficient in and I had a bloody crayon. The colour that nobody used, still new and shiny, and everyone was looking. I drew a circle, best damn circle that Bob Ross would be proud of.
Then it dawned on me,it felt like that moment when you actually have to read the IKEA instructions on how to use an ellenkey. It was hard but I did it...I looked at her once again and asked " what the hell is this crap"

Hi all, as a player of below half a million stats. What would be your tips and advice for elimination this year. And if you gonna troll me with your answers I don't care. Some of us just want to have fun. Thanking all comments in advance.
I don't know if anybody has done this ...sorry
Extra cars to swop for another. Yeea you can buy it.
Or a new racer needing a car. Post here. Yes we all want the untouchables , just a nice car swop area. One like per swop 😂 just joking, also first person to comment on free car gets it, just post your log if receiving.
Nice to see young players take the balls to start a faction!!

Well always looking for another trader,, wink wink nudge nudge,
Should of sent this to me so I can submit to newspaper for a donator pack, damn missed opportunity. But it was an honour being in elimination with a starkiller, a political figure and a royal thief, not to mention all the great comrades.
Friends made , reptiles for life.
Well thanks for all the help, I managed 196 hits and we ended in fourth place
I was refering to karma
Well put , the new system will match you up, but your rank payout stays the same.
What's that supposed to mean? Not cool, was a joking thing, now you want to get all seriousness, you have more to lose than me
Yeea, I thought so. And I just managed to get FFS working so will have to wait on that other script, as I play on mobile.
Thanks , I will take a look, cause I was wondering if flying and hitting opponents are worth it in elimination? As it's not like wars where you can early discharge, and with 11 other teams after you you can really be farmed abroad .
Capish!!
???
Damn , I gave myself 300m instead of 30m playing rr, got mugged before I could put it back. Put balance back, and repaid everything I owed. I don't get how someone would deliberately steal from theyr own faction .
That's in normal wars , but I'm sure it applies to elimination
