26 Years Old, 7 Hours From Home, and Apparently Too Stubborn to Cry 😅

Well… here we are. 🎂

In a couple hours, I officially turn 26. Normally, birthdays are supposed to be one of those days where you're surrounded by family, friends, people you've known forever, somebody yelling “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” and someone else reminding you that you're getting old.

Instead, I'm sitting here 7 hours away from my family, in a place that still doesn't completely feel like home, realizing that this is the first birthday I've ever had where I'm truly on my own.

And honestly? It hurts more than I expected.

I knew moving away would be hard. I knew there would be holidays, random Tuesday nights, and moments where I'd wish I could just walk into my family's house and be around people who have known me my entire life.

I just didn't realize my birthday would be one of those moments that really drives it home.

So tonight I'm doing what any emotionally stable 26-year-old adult would do…

I'm sitting on Torn hoping a bunch of strangers on the internet will make me feel less alone. 😂

And somehow, that's actually pretty damn comforting.

I've spent countless hours on this game talking absolute nonsense with people I've never met, arguing over pixels, making money that doesn't exist, getting hospitalized over imaginary grudges, and somehow building little friendships along the way.

So if you've got a second, drop a Happy Birthday, tell me something funny, insult me appropriately for turning 26, or just say hello.

I don't need anything fancy.

I think I just need a little reminder that even when you're 7 hours away from everyone you've ever known, you're not necessarily as alone as you feel.

So here's to 26. 🥂

Older? Absolutely.

Wiser? Debatable.

Financially responsible? Let's not get carried away.

But I'm still here. And that's something.

Happy birthday to me. ❤️🎂

Now somebody please make this old man feel loved before I start crying into my keyboard. 😂

⚔️ THE BATES BOYS — COME FOR THE XANAX, STAY FOR THE MONEY 💀

💰 90% OC / 90% RW PAYOUTS

Looking for a faction where people actually log in, participate, and know what an OC is?

Congratulations. You've somehow found us. 😂

THE BATES BOYS (TBB) is recruiting active players who want to make money, win wars, grow their accounts, and have a good time doing it.

We're serious about winning.

We're just not serious enough to make recruitment sound like a job interview.

---

💰 WE LIKE MONEY. YOU LIKE MONEY. IT WORKS.

🧪 OC PAYOUTS — 90%

⚔️ RANKED WAR PAYOUTS — 90%

And because we like welcoming people properly:

💊 3 Xanax for your first SUCCESSFUL OC

That's a ONE-TIME attendance bonus for completing your first successful OC.

After that, you make your money through the 90% OC/RW payouts.

⚠️ Your OC must be successful to receive the 3 Xanax.

Basically: show up, do your job, don't accidentally turn the OC into a crime documentary, and get paid. 😂

🎁 MONTHLY MEMBER BENEFITS

📅 EVERY 1ST OF THE MONTH

🌿 15 Cannabis
💊 1 Xanax

Every member gets them.

No application.
No lottery.
No sacrificing your firstborn to the Torn gods.

Just free faction benefits.

🛠️ "BUT I CAN'T AFFORD MY OC TOOLS!"

That's okay.

Members are expected to eventually purchase their own OC tools, but leadership will loan tools out to members who can't afford them yet.

We'd rather loan you a tool so you can make money than watch you sit there broke thinking:

"Well, guess I'll just stare at my inventory today." 😂

Build your bankroll → buy your own tools → keep the cycle going.

⚔️ WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

Because here, your activity has value.

You participate → you get paid.
You fight → you get paid.
You contribute → you help everyone get stronger.

It's a pretty simple business model:

Make money. Get stronger. Win fights. Repeat.

---

🩸 NO PASSENGERS. NO FREELOADERS.

We're looking for people who want to be part of the faction, not just occupy a slot.

If you're active, motivated, and ready to contribute...

You might've just found your new home.

If you're willing to learn, contribute, and grow with the people around you, there's a place for you in TBB.

Because the best part of joining a growing faction isn't simply enjoying what has already been built.

It's helping build it.

⚔️ COME BUILD SOMETHING WITH US.
