I would propose that a company special, perhaps the theater be to check the progress towards the next progression of NNB. I've been stuck at 50 for what seems like forever and I know it's a long game for crimes but it would be nice to see how far I am from the next progression, 55.
That way I can say after being at 50 NNB for 6 months and 5k arsons I've moved this percentage much closer to 55.
I'm sure others feel similarly. This could also help the community gain a more accurate read on CE for certain crimes. I feel that crimes and NNB are such a grind and it would be nice to gauge progress in a more accurate way.
I would think that it would be either a 7 to 10 star special and cost 250 points similarly to the logistics special.
Thanks for everyone's support! Looking forward to Ched's feedback.
I was in leadership of Wolverines Gone Wild at the time of this event. I can confirm that Forester was celebrating Yom Kippur with his family at the time, potentially fighting a war IRL in the coming weeks just after finishing the island war 2.0. I say this to give context of why Forester wanted to pump the brakes and try to deal with it diplomatically and at a later time so he didn't have to dive into a cesspool while trying to celebrate the holiday with his family.
What didn't sit right with me and what led to me leaving was that we were having discussion in family council about this and there were people who didn't see it as a problem and that Kailee shouldn't be kicked. Ultimately they (kailee) were kicked but that was after several members of leadership/council (myself included) of the various Wolverines factions drew a hard line to leave. I could and would not be grouped with others who thought it was funny or didn't deserve dismissal of kailee.
I can vouch that not all Wolverines are weirdos, many had no idea what was going on and others that continued to push for the aforementioned person to be kicked. Obviously those who defended them or thought it was funny are in my book just as bad as kailee. I play torn for fun and seeing that sort of thing in the place where most of my closest friends are/were was absolutely disgusting.
I’ve been thinking about posting this over and over in my head and I never quite know how to say it. I’m sure trolls will rip it but if this reaches at least one person and makes an impact that is all I hope for and want.
I’ve been on torn for a long time and for a long time I used to use the word “retard” to describe someone who I thought was dumb or stupid. While I understand that half of this game is to hurl insults at others I ask for everyone to take a step back and think about what they are actually saying.
During my inactivity from this game I’ve had experience working with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I cannot say how much of a difference these people have made on my life and shaped me as a person.
They have made me realize that no matter what disability they may have they have an equally fierce enthusiasm for living life to the fullest which is more than I can say for most people in this world.
Given how strongly people care about this game, As do I. I ask that you think about calling someone a “retard” before typing as fast as you can to send an insult.
You may not know it but millions of people across the world were once called “retards” without any recognition towards their affinity for life or their ability to improve humanity in general. So when you use the word “retard” it deeply offends the millions of people with disabilities and the people that interact with them either one time or daily.
So I ask with all of my heart that if you want to make a point that someone is an idiot please just call them an idiot or whichever word you choose besides “retard” it’s not fair to people who truly have intellectual and developmental disabilities that try so hard everyday in the rat race that you and I call life. We’re all here and they live it too despite all the discrimination from others.
Thank you! If you are truly struggling with this please watch the movie Peanut Butter Falcon. It is a great movie where the protagonist who is questionable at most times gets to know a person with Down’s syndrome and learns to respect them.
If you have questions please feel free to direct message or mail me. I work directly with people with disabilities and I could not have a more fulfilling career. My only hope is that others with less experience can learn from others experiences. I encourage all to post their positive experiences big and small with people with disabilities

as far as getting RGiskard on that may be a bit above me, but a beer drinking babbler can try 😂
in the meantime I would give Tuesday Talks a listen if you haven’t already. He did a 3 part interview with Bodybagger who was the #1 player in the game for a long time and is still a monument to the game.
Here’s the link to the first part of that interview:
I was hoping you wouldn’t notice! I tried recording my own pour but couldn’t get it right. I need to find a better beer pour recording, the one I found was labeled beer in a glass.
It’s all about the community. I love how some people have gone very in depth on this thread.
This is a focal point for me when I interview people on Beers with Balashi podcast. I like to find out why they like the game and why they keep coming back.
For me it was being bored as a teenager but rediscovering the game as an adult. I’ve met amazing people here and learned a lot about torn but just as much about life in general.
I also talk about this on an episode of Recruit Radio. If you have a moment make sure to checkout Torn Underground.
What I like the most about torn is the fact that you can play how you want even if it’s not the best, it’s yours. I never saw myself hosting a podcast but here we are thanks to torn.
Another Torn Underground production, Beers with Balashi E10 is out! Enjoy the listen as we talk about the game, how CockyNudist decided to go about his playstyle and the insane determination to keep at it.
I hope you all enjoy on wherever you listen to podcasts
Don’t forget to join the Torn underground Discord server where you can connect with other listeners and directly with the hosts from all the current shows!
