1. ned tp'd thatguy37, who demanded reparations
2. ned lol'd, thatguy37 cried to a friend in lake of lerna (not leadership)
3. that friend went and hosp'd all the goons
4. unoplank started paying goons to bounty all of lake of lerna
5. LoL leadership cleared things up re thatguy37 (they don't like him and are pretty dang pissed at him for getting people into this)
6. LoL also demanded 80 xan in reparations, crell lol'd
7. LoL has been disorganizedly hitting goons, and also paid for a 2500 chain hit on goons
8. goons spent hours organizing things so that all members were either flying, or in the hospital with revives turned off, in order to dodge the upcoming 5000 chain hit. it worked! a few people had to get booted temporarily though
9. goons are celebrating, which, fair, but seem to have lost sight of the fact that they should be loving with thatguy37 and his faction, and that lake of lerna is a costly distraction. accursed collective short attention span!

okay, here it is time for the Ballad of Jay

something like three months ago, jay joined torn and started hanging out in the discord. he was, by his own admission, kinda dumb, but he was friendly enough i guess? i found it pretty tedious talking to him tbh

a few months ago, jay saw that kris and crappy had lots of bounties on them (bounties they'd got by doing things like "massive buymugs on idiots" and "disrupting the entire market for armour in the course of a week"), and decided he wanted bounties too. so what did he do? he went in general chat and started spamming, getting stupider and stupider, until he started posting furry erotica. so yeah, he got bounties, by basically making GBS threads his pants in public and rolling in the poo poo until people started hitting him with baseball bats. also he got warned by staff to not do things like "post furry erotica in general chat". it was incredibly baffling to see someone basically doing this in 2020 and thinking it would be lauded by goons.

last month, jay did a buymug on someone (which is actually Proper Goon Behaviour), and the guy got mad and bountied him. (for reference, the pubbie's faction's initials are ThB) jay bountied him back and taunted him, and then also bountied the THB leader and taunted her too. this was dumb. instead of just being a slapfight between two individuals, jay went out of his way to pull in Big Angry Pubbies, the kind of people who have been playing this game for ten years and can kill all goons with basically no effort. why did jay do this? i can think of two possible reasons:

1) jay had seen discussion on how useful bounties were in previous faction war, and thought "all i need to do is put bounties on these big players and i will win"

2) jay is really loving stupid

so people yelled at him to stop escalating, and for a few days he did, but then a few days later he decided to start again. now, when did he start to escalate again? why, in the midst of the faction trying not to get killed due to the drama from my previous post, of course! clearly the best thing to do during an unwinnable war is to turn it into a two-front war :v:

goons scramble for damage control, a deal is eventually made with THB that's basically "your raid stops after 24 hours, we pay 50mil (half of which came from jay's account)**, and you can hit jay all you want for a month with no retaliation". jay pitched a small fit, but then the next day went along with things at least?

fast forward to yesterday! at some point jay was found streaming with a Known Shithead Chud Nazi, and got called out on the discord. jay had mod powers for some reason, so he muted the person who called him out. and then, because jay is really loving stupid, he told said nazi about what happened, and invited them onto the discord. fortunately, since it was a known shithead nazi, mods banned him immediately and started investigating how he even got invited.

oh look, an invite link that jay made, that has only been used once! by said nazi! so naturally kris confronted him and was like "jay, did you invite a nazi to the discord" and jay replied with "yes here is a screenshot of me sending the invite, also ~*~I dOn'T cArE aBoUt PoLiTiCs~*~"

i lied at the top, it's actually the Ballad of Jay Who Turned Out To Be A Nazi Enabler At Best (gently caress You, Jay)

so naturally he's been banned from the discord and kicked from the faction, because frankly if you hang out with nazis you're pretty much a nazi. also he's been bountied to hell in-game and is unlikely to spend very much time at all out of the hospital.

bonus "jay is loving stupid" material!

- months ago jay posted something like "i don't get why people are so upset about [trump]"
- during the Great Lifeboating, when the discord was being flooded and jazz was asking what channels he should add, jay suggested fyad. it might have been a joke, but given jay, it might not have been a joke
- jay is currently whining to the leadership of THB that goons didn't give him his money when he got kicked. 1) he never asked for it, and 2) lol he's not getting it, except maybe in the form of bounties.

**i have been corrected on this - the money that was supposed to be paid by jay was actually paid by blackcats, and jay got kicked for being a massive gently caress before he paid it back.

p.s. jay, if you read this, gently caress you and get off the forums, you are nazi-enabling trash, gently caress off forever

Nice raids you got going there. I'm already settled in a faction but just wanted to pop in and say hi (cz4r on Torn).
Would suggest flying to far away places as much as possible or self-hospitalizing by doing warehouse arsons (if you don't have the NNB to succeed in the crime that is) and turning off your revives to slow down the respect loss. SEDs are a decent option for self-hosping as well but pricy. You could also (if you have it) zero your faction's OD chance reduction perks and try to OD on Xanax for the super long hospital time but that's super unreliable and honestly a lovely option all round.
It'll take months before your faction is zero'd but the faster they get bored of hitting you the better unless you're planning on buying a new shell for your faction.
Most people active on the forums there don't actually have any interest in reading and processing anything that isn't supporting their point of view btw, it's like trying to converse with a wall.

pubbies got mad that we started talking about sandwiches instead of how hard goons were getting stomped, and even more mad that other pubbies were joining in with sandwich chat.

now there's a separate thread for sandwich chat, though, and it wasn't even one of us that started it. we have made legit sandwich pals out of this, which is just such a delight. i'm so happy that we have found common ground with people by talking about delicious sandwiches.

bit of an update: we've settled in with HT-O and it's going well. oSEB, the leader of HT-O, has developed a serious dislike of Willroc-a-fella (who has renamed to "The-Bad-Guy") and we've been expending all our milestone hits on Hooligans during chains. Each milestone hit takes away huge chunks of respect from said faction, and ol' Will has been complaining to oSEB. It's been a complete reversal of fortune for the guy and he's sad.
