I'm starting afresh (having made a few bad decisions on my first go 'round with Turf Wars) and wondering what I should use an an invite code... All suggestions are welcome.

Something simple and commen so people are more likely to punch it.

Agreed. What does ghoti mean?

👆This. Nothing more annoying than typing in a long ass invite code like "returnofthejedistarwarsmaniac" and the reply comes back, "This code does not exist". Then you have to go back and backspace the whole damn thing out.

Oh, and don't do like seventeen zeros or ones or anything in a row. That fucks with the eyes when I'm trying to count them. Just sayin'....

Sound it out:
Gh, as in 'enouGH'
o, as in 'wOmen'
ti, as in 'noTIon'

Good advice indeed, thanks...but I was hoping for something more specific. I remember there bring a list if 'e' codes...does anyone know if that's still a good option? Basically, I was just wondering if there's a simple set or logical sequence that all code punchers eventually go through...

Read this:

And yes, finding the next open code in a sequence (such as my A126) will get you a few more invites, but the real key to getting a serious mob is punching codes, not waiting for mob members to find you. It's a chore. There is no shortcut. Good luck!

It's pronounced 'fish'.
The 'gh' in 'enough' is the same sound as 'f' in 'fish'.
The 'o' from 'women' is the same sound as the 'i' in 'fish'.
...And the 'ti' in 'notion' gives you the 'sh' in 'fish'.

Ah yes, I thought I had seen that before.

Lol I suppose you're right, though it isn't really meant to be a joke--just an assemblage of phonetic anomalies.

So do gangsters live in a fetto not ghetto.

My house is haunted by a fost not ghost

The capital of Scotland is Edinburf not Edinburgh

And slaughter is kinda funny as in laughter?

But I'm kidding with you. English is a crazy language.

Bit like the kid called La-a, and the mother got irate when the teacher pronounced it as Laya, instead of Ladasha.

Best tip.... Punch all codes 000 through to 1000.

First code you find that is NOT VALID.... Claim it.

People tend to punch those codes methodically!!!

I get two three invites per day from randoms.
