Just had an awesome idea to incorporate the newbie Piggy Bank into a newbie "Go Fish", some gifts from veterans to the newbies!!! Here's how I envision it.
All veterans can get the piggy bank to put an unknown amount of cash in. To not confuse the city dump, this could be tossed into the newbie pond, where only newbies could fish from. But to add to it, veterans could toss any market item into the pond as well as a special newbie piggy bank.. Not sure if PI's could fit... Hahaha Even newbies who become veterans could give back to the pond if they wanted. The newbies could fish from the pond until they get a piggy bank. But just like the dump, it would cost 5e, and they could keep or toss back until they get the special piggy bank. Or maybe call it the Veterans Piggy Bank. As a little incentive veterans could get honor bars for their donations or multiple donations. Kinda like a charity. And since newbies are only newbies for like 10 days, I dont see where this could be abused, as just like the dump, it would be random. If implemented, it might be a good idea for veterans to put stuff in for a little bit before newbies have access. Again, to curb a restart cheat of getting 10 billion, etc.
Scenerio: Graffiti East with black paint can Graffiti west with black paint can When I do the crime for east, the paint level in both drop to the same percentage, and then both disappear when Graffiti East is empty. I didn''t try different matching colors like red and red, as I didn't want to lose more paint cans.
I also just noticed that crime count during this would go UP in East and DOWN in WEST as you can see in attached pics. East 182 -> 183 West 124 -> 123 Something is seriously wrong there... (Gotta upload images)
At one point a Dual Wield Melee course was available at Torn City College for a fee of $50,000,000, but this was discontinued when Torn's citizens realised they were effectively paying to learn how to hold two things at once.
Well Chedburnie, how about refunding the $50,000,000 to those of us that paid for the course....
I completed the burglary crimes a long time ago, at 100%. Since then there have been changes, and new merit "Keys to the city" 34/34. I currently have only 33/34 but I have 36 choices of focused crimes, of which I've now completed twice and still don't have the merit. In the crime stats, only 33 show any results. Any further attempts is simply a waste of nerve now.

When I first started playing "Torn City" Torn now, I made 3 or 4 DP purchases. That's been it. I've been self sufficient ever since. It's also my understanding that BodyBagger hasn't ever used IRL money or donations. At one point, I considered doing the subscriptions, but when I saw changes that disenfranchised Torn's players, I changed my mind, and then I've seen some of the crap that's been left on the doorsteps each month. Some people got great things once in a while, but at I see it, it's definitely a "Pay-to-win" game. I was getting bored until Crimes 2.0 came out, but now with Torn leaders, once again, screwing the players with energy/nerve refill costs rising, It's proof that the admins have been here so long, that they don't realize how BIG of an impact this is to the younger players. ..!.. the newer players (and older poor players because many players are filthy rich.

I honestly don't know what will please everyone. I for one, have dumped almost 7k of tokens into this particular slots game. Tokens that were acquired years ago from working the Cruise liner job and cashing in job points to the tune of I think it was 33k of casino tokens. Reinstatement while some may feel is fair, Just infuriates me even more. Especially since I've been off work this past week, and having to return to work tonight, ensures that if reinstated, I'll have zero chance of winning, and I'm still 7k tokens less. Maybe it would be best to calculate a % of all those that participated, the tokens they used, the bets they made, and divide it that way. At least then, everyone will be somewhat compensated, but going forward, as stated by others, Torn needs to be more aggressive with detecting multi's.

Also, not sure how I was in jail, but apparently I was bailed out. I was doing crimes, didn't notice any interruption. It's possible I could have been bailed out that quick, but since this other bug was posted, more likely not...
what if you could do both?? A recruit that plans to stay, and a way for someone to guest?? Different scenerio for each?? Like instead of quitting a faction and guesting to another, you choose guest to another faction retain your seat and perks from your original faction and guest at another faction for either the 1,2, or 3 days.... retaining your seat would not open your spot in original faction, but the faction your going to, would need a spot for you. Kind of like irl, you have your home, but go on vacation and stay in a hotel.
In response to the few questions so far, it took a long freaking time. Took breaks along the way. But the most efficient way to get there quick, would be utilizing the following tips.
Get a job with the special of business class tickets. If you can refill e, then train your first 150e, then refill, and take 1 Xanax to get to 400e, then fly. Average earnings for 400e is 4mil. On hunting day, I've had as high as 24mil.
Since you need $500 for your first hunt, take $600 or $700 with you, just in case you get mugged. While you're there, after hunting, you can buy your plushies or flowers, or a few Xanax.
Staff asked me to submit this as a bug report a little while ago. I forgot to, but here it is now. Even though I won the attack, these were the results. Staff couldn't explain it.
There must have been some kind of glitch then, because it showed me as having 27k of points, I then did my normal gym and crimes, dis energy refills, and then when I went to do crime refill, energy was still available, so I figured that something went goofy, did energy refills and trained again. I wasn't paying attention to see if my stats had increased from prior train, but then I moved onto crime refill, and when I came back, energy was still available, and I then noticed that points were 20.9k. Something clearly was not working properly...
This morning I had 27k+ points, I trained my usual twice, then went to do my crimes. I thought there was a glitch, and my second refill didnt take, so I refilled again at which time I noticed that now I only had 20.9k points. This needs to be fixed!!
