We are a small, but tough faction, composed of players from all over the world (UK, USA, Australia, and Canada having the most representation). If you check Tornstats for Total Respect gained, you'll notice that we have some HoF chainers in our faction. Butters is 12th, Morbid-pinky is 26th, and G-STAR01 is 32nd. I'm not too shabby at 99th, but I'm doing my best to catch up. So, we're small, but we hit above our weight.
Our baseline is 1 to 2 100-hit chains per day, more if we are fighting a serious war. Outside of that, you are welcome (expected really) to train with your remaining Energy. If you want just about all the perks of the big HoF factions in a low-key faction, LONDON is where you want to be.
Participate in chains regularly to earn our respect. Participate in chains heavily to earn our loyalty.
Current status / notes / updates (i.e. to be edited):
We resume war mode in early June. We will be swapping Criminality for Suppression while warring. That should free up enough respect to raise our rehab discount to 8%-10%
Requirements: Battle stats - 1 million total (non-whored) (negotiable for very active players) Nerve - 25 natural nerve Activity - Login 2-3 times a day
Xanax, refills, meds, and sometimes cans/FHC's are provided for free during chains.
For our newbie, active chainers, we sometimes give out 50-100 xanax + some rehab money (or equivalent value) for training as a reward for heavy chaining when we switch to training mode. If we have several new, qualified, active recruits, we can hold a hit count + respect gained competition with a more significant prize during War mode (likely 1 month duration).
I have 3 Castles I have received over the years from HRG that are just lying around. I would be willing to rent these out for free to active chainers that need a decent house while they're building their wealth (if interested, contact me when you apply). I also have a block of ELBT I can use to upgrade properties FOR members (personal or for resale/rent); no charge, but you have to trust me (haven't scammed anyone in 12 years of Torn).
We have a faction oil rig where faction members with half-way decent job stats have priority for open spots. We may soon get a faction TV Network if enough people are interested.
Territories controlled: 12 (currently 1279 respect per day)
Tolerance: Addiction XXV - reduces addiction gains by 50% Side Effects III - 9% reduction in passive negative drug effects Overdosing I - reduces overdose chance by 3%
Holy shit, this has completly screwed up my gameplay. My items are all gd missing. My cash seems to have been spent on millions of erotic DVDS, and .....Oh wait, this doesn't Fing affect me at all. Welcome back WickedPrincess...whoeverTF you are, happy hunting.
ok, nearly everyone that replied here is a very likely a scripter..and probably a Millenial.
Yeah, it's not that hard to take 3x xanax per day...but for 2000 days? I see someone that's almost 2150 days old with 6250 xanax taken....sure, they never flew to rehab and forgot to fly back (because a script did that for them). They (almost?) never had a busy day and missed a xanax....2150 days old * 3 = 6450 max xanax, 6450 - 6250 (actual taken) = 200. 200 / 3 = 66 days. So, the player got 4x stats to the cutoff for xanax being better than high happy training in just 66 days and somehow started with enough money to start dumping xanax.
Here we go, JFA Hildegarde, 270 days old, 99B networth, 771 xanax taken, yep, nothing to see here....Git Gud like Hildegarde and all his scripting buddies....Yeah, reroll, transfer money from old account, start scripting....seems legit.
As far as the "Git Gud" shit goes, my Networth was around 75th in the game before I got disgusted with the nerf to oil rigs and transferred it to a faction-mate to manage. Note that I never got rich off of the old, OLD, OLD stock market as did several of the other 74 players above me.
With the number of SE's on me and my stats, I could gain about 300 million stats before the end of the weekend and about 500 million'ish before I ran out and had to buy more......I spent years developing economic "power" in-game to support infinite xanax, multiple SE's (or dozens of cans/FHC's) per month, etc and then Ched gave you all 1 free xanax per day and extra happy gains.....easy money from Company jobs.
@Ched: your game is done...it was good for (most of) the first 4000 days even. Stats, money, accounts (i.e. pretty much the whole game), don't mean anything if you look the other way. I do not find it fun once a game reaches the point where the admin(s) might as well be executing SQL statements on most of the user table to jack up stats. Maybe you can send out a Collectible "You're #1" Trophy to all players so the millenials don't have to cry themselves to sleep tonight. Change the CAPTCHA system randomly multiple times per day for a week and we'll see how many players' near-perfect xanax records suddenly falter.
Making a game easy does not make it more fun, it makes it boring (except maybe to those used to their hard-earned participation trophy)
Running into many players with nearly 3x xanax taken times days old, very wealthy for their age.
@Ched: please add auto-train, auto crimes, auto flower-run, auto-trade, auto-chain, auto-chat, auto-bitch-on-forums and then our CPU's can all compete on even footing with each other.
LOL, I believe my faction is in 1st place for average respect gained per faction member. We fought hard to get Hermetic X, Steadfast X, etc in the old system and kept pace with HoF factions despite only having about 10 active chainers (we have been in top 40 for total respect earned for *years*).
The new system took away most of our hard-work and gave the advantage to big factions (re-meeting Steadfast challenges), while giving noobs an easy road to top-level Faction upgrades (easy territory respect if they stick to the outlands + high-level upgrades if they stick to 2 - 3 branches)......So, yeah, I'm irritated.
RE: growing the faction
Yep, valid, but hard if you're actually trying to find *people* that fit into your social group....not just bodies to accumulate upgrade challenge progress.
Anyway, I am talking with the leaders of the other faction now and trying to find an alternate (diplomatic) solution now that they know I won't just rollover because they want it (larger faction, but with similar respect gained)
I did it the hard-way, in a game devoid of easy money. Then Ched decided to make noobs (like you) happy so they could be competitive with players 1000's of days older than they are. People your age continue to bitch and white wash this game into mediocrity because you seem to "feel" that long-time players have an "unfair" advantage.
All it takes now is to have numbers on your side....how fun.
Wow, so the attacker needs to maintain a whole +2 attackers that don't actually have to attack defenders...how difficult....especially when as mentioned, the new Faction Upgrades have resulted in HoF factions creating numerous 100-man factions.
So.....5 noobs that couldn't defeat shit, get to take a spot on the attacking wall and ignore 2 or 3 defenders that they couldn't possibly beat.....sounds legit.
How can the system possibly work that the attackers still accumulate points if there are any defenders on the wall? Why must you constantly give the advantage to the attacker? There is no point to territories AT ALL, if there is no way to defend them.
Either each defender should accumulate -5 to -10 points per second and/or attackers should accumulate no points at all if there is even one defender.
If an attacker wants MY GODDAMN TERRITORY, they should be willing to pay the price to take it (keep knocking defenders off).
Thank God "Staff" isn't in the top faction families that have maxed out their size and grabbed all the strong players....We can *trust* the Staff to be non-biased to make decisions that are good for the game..............oh wait, NVM. You want your game to die by choking out anyone that isn't a member of the HoF family circle jerk.
As it stands, you might as well just delete all factions not in the "top" families. Your faction sizes are too large and the new Upgrade system gives too much advantage to huge factions.
**** this pointless game. You must really hate your product Ched.
I was going to post my eBook, plans for a time travel machine, and designs for a faster-than-light (FTL) drive in the Torn forums, but this post saved me from that mistake. Thanks a bunch Mauk!
To 10,000 players. Why have many factions,when we could just have one huge faction with all the active players in the game.
Wouldn't it be more fun for everyone if there was no competition and if no one outside the granddaddy faction could compete?
Oh wait, we already have this. Maybe you might want to DECREASE faction sizes before the game becomes completely pointless instead of just mostly. It is already "join a HOF faction family or go **** yourself, thanks for playing Torn, all the best, Ched"

I am well aware of how the stock market works. Do you?
Good luck ever selling to the bot or to people if shares will just be issued in massive quantities just at the point when people want to start listing instead of buying.
For reference, 2+ Billion shares at the current price of about $360 is in the ballpark of $800 billion worth of stock added. You just made the game more boring....yet again.
The Stock Market is now dead. The float on FHG was just increased by 11-12% or more than 2 BILLION shares added. Unless you changed the stock bot to also buy back billions of shares, you just completely destroyed the stock market. The system was already broken in part because we cannot sell to other players because the stock bot constantly produces more shares than it buys....This is just worse.
Only "invest" in stocks if you don't mind billions of dollars being tied up for months / years while you wait for a chance to sell it.
