Cheated (don't lock)

[Zoroxxn 8]

I got cheated in the Players vs Helpers contest because I thought I would be allowed to buy both of the new paints so I bought the "For Players" paint but when I went to get the "For Helpers" paint it was gone.

I think the people who bought the "For Players" paint deserve a consolation prize instead of getting absolutely nothing and being treated like dirt for not knowing the Helpers would win. It's not fair to give supplies to some people and others get none, because the people who got supplies will drug like mad and have a really unfair advantage over the people who got nothing at all.

The definition of consolation prize is "A prize given to someone who finishes last"

Don't give me that "At least the paint was free" crap because I've heard that way too many times today and I still think the people who bought the "For Players" paint deserve a consolation prize.

Ideas for the consolation prize to the people who bought the "For Players" paint could be something like:

Sergeant to Warrant Officer 5: 1000 crystals or 20 of each supply, which is half the amount of supplies the Helpers got at these ranks so it's not too much.

Third Lieutenant to Colonel: 2000 crystals or 30 of each supply,  which is half the amount of supplies the Helpers got at these ranks so it's not too much.

Brigadier to Generalissimo, 3000 crystals or 40 of each supply, which is half the amount of supplies the Helpers got at these ranks so it's not too much.

Most of you probably think it's unfair to reward the people who bought the "For Players" paint for guessing wrong, but that's exactly why I think we "For Players" deserve a consolation prize, because it was just a guess. How were we supposed to know the "For Helpers" were going to win, we're not a psychic. I could even argue that Tanki Online is cheating by rewarding only some people for a 50-50 guessing game, while the others who guessed wrong get nothing.

On an unrelated note, I know most of you probably think i'm a noob and will go "He's only a Warrant Officer 4, why should we listen to him?", but mind you that I have a lot of spare accounts. I've been playing since December 2014 and I could've been a Generalissimo by now but on my other accounts I bought too much useless stuff so I restarted and made a new account, this is the account I will take to Generalissimo.

I don't care how many down-votes this topic will give me, I still stand by my point that people who bought the "For Players" paint deserve a consolation prize, and I hope at least one of the Tanki Online staff reads this and considers it, instead of ignoring it as another rant thread.

You have to choose one paint it's not a cheating ! , it meant to be a challenge . you can't get a prize in both ways ( if they lost or won it will be useless ).

You are an ignorant, pathetic troll, thinking you're all cool for being a Field Marshal hating on a Warrant Officer 4. If this Zoroxxn guy was your rank.

First of all, you should watch your language and be aware that using alt accounts like the above^ is not a good thing to do.

You did not, Sem's post clearly stated that you need to add only 1 of the paints: .

It's not our fault that you thought that way, thus we did not cheat you.

"Deserve"??? No one deserves anything, not even the people that bought the Helper's paint, because they did nothing, the paint was free. And it's only 40 supplies, 1 game and they're over.

That's part of the fun, you need to guess who you think is going to win, and Tanki will give a gift to you if you guessed right, it's just something Tanki does to help players but still make it a bit challenging. It's not a reward, it's a gift :).

 

I am sorry, there will be no consultation prizes whatsoever, the supplies were gifts, to whoever guessed right, if you didn't, better luck next time :)
