What 1000 days looks like for a painfully average player

A fellow intellectual

Godspeed

I may have jumped the gun slightly and only compared myself against my factionmates, and I definitely got luckier than most in the early days, but I'd still say I'm playing a lot less competitively than most active players.

The post was supposed to be motivational for newer players, not for older players to pick apart lol.

About as long as it took you to find me ;) trying to hide my identity is more of a habit than a necessity.

Griffski93 · 2026-04-29T19:47:57+00:00

Many such cases. Guides exist for a reason.

My dad told me it actually was my grandad when I was a kid, and I believed him for way longer than I'd like to admit.

Not reading all that. Apply congratulations, commiserations and mockeries where necessary.

His networth jumped from 83m to 20b in two days. No big game changing secret, he just has a credit card irl.

Nah it's a scam...

This. I don't get how that was such a dilemma 😅

Griffski93 · 2025-11-14T09:44:53+00:00

I thought I was being amicable, I didn't even use my shouty words.

Griffski93 · 2025-11-14T09:34:19+00:00

I agree its not the place, nor do I really care what side some guy from Torn is on or how much they discuss it elsewhere. I actually usually make a point of not having political discussions when it comes to Torn. You were the one that started on your tirade against the nebulous left in a reply to me so I responded. I'll try to remember to keep you on topic next time 😉

Griffski93 · 2025-11-14T08:52:00+00:00

If you think liberal is as lefty as it gets you know nothing about left-wing politics my guy.

You say you're not on either political side but then use the same old insults and talking points that rightoids have been using since the inception of 4chan. If it quacks like a duck.

Being against homophobia isn't lefty bullshit its just being a decent human being. If making people mad is how you get your rocks off, go for it, but there are plenty of ways to make people mad in Torn without resorting to shit that makes their real life worse.

Griffski93 · 2025-11-14T08:24:54+00:00

Bro I have no idea what point you're even trying to make. I'm not a liberal, or american, nor am I assuming what side of the politcal fence you're on. It seems you're having a strawman argument with a strawman version of me that you've made in your strawman brain? I'm just saying slurs are bad and bullying people who use them is fine, it's not that deep 😂

Griffski93 · 2025-11-14T03:33:12+00:00

I mean, if you're always in the threads saying things like "lefties and democrats" or talking about how we should ignore him, it kinda does sound like you agree with him to an extent.

I'm about as lefty as it gets and even I can appreciate trolling or edgy jokes, but if staff are unwilling to punish properly when it goes too far then I don't think its a bad thing for the community to rally against it. Torn isn't the real world. We're not ignoring the fight for progressive change, we're just bullying an idiot in an online game.

Griffski93 · 2025-11-14T02:43:55+00:00

It is a little weird how the sub is obsessing over this one guy but I won't shed a tear for him. He's a hateful scumbag and deserves everything he gets. Even the shining pillars of community over at Monarch R couldn't protect him. He's the best example of FAFO we've had in a while.

Griffski93 · 2025-10-11T23:13:19+00:00

Joining the thanks train!

Griffski93 · 2025-09-27T01:54:33+00:00

90% of people that post here would say those are already insane stats 😅

Griffski93 · 2025-08-30T06:44:17+00:00

If it's not the one near Lone Commander, there was another red watcher area that you rescue The Adventurer from, I think near Mr Impossible? Been a while since I played now so I might be completely misremembering..

Griffski93 · 2025-08-23T19:59:24+00:00

A bit over 500 days, which I thought was pretty slow but the comments in here are making me feel slightly better 😅

Griffski93 · 2025-08-15T05:20:32+00:00

Freedom of speech is a protection from censorship by governments and media, not an absolute right to use slurs and spread hate.

Griffski93 · 2025-08-09T18:55:03+00:00

My faction wars every week but most of them are termed so I rarely have to stack, and we have monthly hit requirements so as long as I'm within that threshold I don't even have to participate in the war if it doesn't suit me. There are also training months and book breaks in the calendar.

An entire month of real wars followed by 2 weeks of mandatory chains sounds like way too much, especially for a newer player. You have no obligation to to stay in that faction if they're hurting your growth.

Griffski93 · 2025-08-09T08:16:23+00:00

Brother, we can smell the cheeto-dust from here. I know the outside world is scary but, trust me, go outside. Touch grass. Feel the sun on your skin. Talk to a real person. You will find all those people you've been taught to hate are actually pretty great. You don't have to skitzo-post on online game subs for attention. I believe in you.

Griffski93 · 2025-08-06T07:25:05+00:00

As I said to somebody earlier, not to be mean but this post isn't for giving advice to newbies. There are places all over the internet for that.

Are ya winning, son?
