How to read a story
Every statement in a Torn Story is checked against the archived posts it cites. Statements without a label are established: the record shows them directly. Everything else is labelled and says who is speaking.
- Established
- The record shows it directly: a post and its date, staff's own words, a thread's figures or TornLife data.
- Participant claim
- What someone involved said about their own actions or experience. Their account, not verified.
- Allegation
- An accusation a player made, attributed to them. Never TornLife's finding.
- Community speculation
- Guesses, theories and rumours from players.
- Joke
- Banter or trolling, presented as such.
- Torn roleplay
- In-character play, presented as such.
Stories are generated by TornLife from the forum archive (June 2014 onward) and checked automatically before they appear. They report what players said, attributed to them; they never state why an account was federally jailed and never include anyone's real-world details. Spotted a mistake? Tell us.
