Only one chain can be scheduled at a time, so cancel the first to schedule another. If the time comes while another chain is running or the faction is on cooldown, the panel waits and starts by itself, or a leader can press Track the running chain instead.
/chain start
Section titled “/chain start”Starts a chain now and tells the faction. It works like a scheduled chain whose time has come.
| Option | Type | Required | Values and limits | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
target | whole number | No | 1 to 100,000 | The hit count to aim for, like 1000 (leave it out for no aim) |
pay | whole number | No | At least 1 | Pay per hit in dollars (leave it out if there is none) |
mode | text | No | One of: normal, queue | Normal: nothing special. Queue: the roster takes turns and the next person is pinged |
It’s refused while a chain is scheduled, while a chain is already running, and during the faction’s cooldown, in which case it says when the cooldown ends.
/chain ping
Section titled “/chain ping”Gives you the chain ping role, or takes it away if you have it. With the default setting this is how faction members drop the role. If your admins chose “on request”, it’s how you get it.

/chain history
Section titled “/chain history”Browse your faction’s finished chains from Torn, newest first, five to a page. Each row opens that chain’s record.
No options. Type the command and press Enter.
