"Where have I seen that?" contest FAQ

[I3rilliant 503]

 

Now, I've seen a lot of people ask questions regarding the "Where have I seen that" contest in the discussion thread. I've made this thread to clear those queries up. If you know everything you need to know, this won't be useful for you. However, it will be useful for those who are unsure on a few things! Without further ado:

 

Can I post all my screenshots in one tweet?

Now, I'm not particularly sure if you can even do such a thing but to be on the safe side, I recommend that you achieve the minimum of 5 screenshots - 5 tweets.

 

Does it have to be on 5 different maps?

No, it does not. It can be on the same map as well.

 

My screenshot has a blue and red container in it - will it still be accepted?

Yes. A red container must be in sight though.

 

Can I take the picture on my own or does it have to be with other tanks?

You can take it on your own or with other tanks, on what you want to do.

 

Does a friend have to take the picture for me?

Not at all - you can take it by yourself.

 

Can I take some screenshots with one account and some screenshots with another?

I'm afraid not. All screenshots must be taken from the same account or it will be ineligible.

 

What must each of my tweets contain for it to be eligible?

It must contain a screenshot of you beside a red container. Do watch out for profanity if you're doing it in public battles, however. Also, it must contain a @tankionline_en mention - they simply will not find your screenshot/s without it.

 

Do I need to upload the pictures to a image sharing site first?

You can but I don't think you need to. Twitter offers post settings in which you can attach a picture to your tweet.

 

I've forgotten how to take a screenshot!

What if I'm banned on Tanki?

You are still able to submit your entries.

 

It's totally unfair! Us low ranks can't participate!

True, to an extent. I've got a tip for you though:

 

Tip: If you're Sergeant or up, you can play 2042 which has more than 5 containers in it. If I recall correctly, Novel has quite a few as well which gives Master Corporals a chance.

 

Are blue containers also eligible?

No, it says "red container" for a reason, you know.

 

What if there's a container on up of the other?

As long as there's a red container in the stack, it will be eligible.

 

I've gotten 5 red containers in 2 screenshots - is that alright?

That wouldn't be the safest bet. You should take 5 screenshots with 5 or more containers altogether. So by that, I mean between your 5 screenshots, there should be 5 or more containers.

 

Link to Twitter?

https://twitter.com/

I'll add that you must make an account in order to participate. It's intrinsic.

 

How do I tweet?

 

 

Before we get started, make sure you have a Twitter account.

It's quite simple, really!

 

Step 1

 

Log in! 

(Example below)

 

 

Now that you've got yourself logged in, you can now comprise a tweet to Tanki Online! 

 

Step 2

 

Go to where it says "Compose New Tweet" in order to tweet to Tanki Online.

 

 

It seems so easy now but what catches everyone out is the fact that people don't mention Tanki Online in their message and just write their message in the hope that Tanki sees it.

 

You'll need to use the Tanki Online tag which corresponds to the community you're part of. 

 

The tags

 

@tankionline_en

@tankionline_de

 

You've got to mention one of these or Tanki Online will not see your message. In the example below, I will tweet to @tankionline_en.

 

Step 3

 

Write your message!

 

 

As long as it has a mention of one of those two tags, Tanki Online should see it - can't say they'll reply to it though.

 

So there you go, that is how you tweet to Tanki Online!

 

 

 

What if when the time comes, what if I don't get my 20,000 crystals?

If you can prove that your entries were eligible, drop a private message to the English community manger, Semyon Kirov: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?s=5ff20f8b1d05b8fe44af6256b9ef2a25&&app=members&module=messaging&section=send&do=form&preview=1&_from=quickPM&fromMemberID=392071 and explain.

 

These are the most frequently asked questions I've seen so far and I will add more when they come. I hope all your queries have been answered, if not, post here.

 

PS. If anything is incorrect (which I honestly hope not) then let me know.

Nice; good job on this.

[I3rilliant 503]

Nice; good job on this.

Thank you!

 

On an unrelated note, my grammar is so under-par today, what is going on?

[splitterpoint 10,986]

You take risks in your sentences, but I like that style...

it's correct on first sight, and I can't really find grammar errors either at the moment.

 

English is not my native language; so I can't really say for sure, that there aren't any.

But it's perfectly understandable, and that's the main purpose of the topic I suppose.

 

Yes, yet again; great job. ^_^

You need to find a red container that you can see on the left of the screenshot above on 5 different maps (different containers on 1 map count as well), take a screenshot on each of these maps of you standing next to the container (it means a total of 5 screenshots with 5 different containers).

That wouldn't be the safest bet. You should take 5 screenshots with 5 or more containers.

 

You've said that there needs to be 5 containers in each tweet, this needs a correction if I'm not mistaking, the sentence might be a bit confusing.

Sorry, this needed to be an edit in my previous post.

You're right. I forgot to expand on that.

And no worries; I'll take all the feedback I can get.

Very nice; love the way you fixed this. (y)

Thank you.

I'm glad it was of use to you.

[SlLVER 12]

Nice

Novel has only 3 containers, could you please provide another map for master corporal ranks and less?

Really? English is not your native language? Your English seems fine!

Btw, I'm just curious, what is your native language?

Nice job Remaine if you can add a section on how to tweet please. Since you already started a thread on the competition might as well have all the helpful things in the same place. I have been helping a few people on chat with the tweeting thing but having it on a thread with screen shots will help.

Yes - that's a great idea. I'll do that when I get home.

Well done Rem, another question... If there are 3 red boxes on top of each other can I take 3 pics from 3 different angles and post them as 3 different screnies?

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

All Red Boxes must be from different maps. Each one must be unique. Say you take a screenshot in the map ''Industrial Zone'' and it has like 5-6 Redboxes in 1 screenshot. All 5-6 do not count, only one does! Each Red Box needs to be from a different map. They cannot be from the same map.

yep i think he was mistaken in that.. :D

This topic is very helpful. ;)

Hmm, that's a good one. Since you'll likely catch the other two in the shot as well, it's better to take one picture then look for certain. You can do it if you'd like though. Due to its advanced circumstances, I can't really give a concrete answer.

I'm sure that means you're allowed to post different containers in a single map. That's the case or Semyon spoke with such ambiguity that we've all interpreted it in a different way.

Still your fault for jumping the gun. I don't like how you wrote in underline, bold and a biger font size like you were definitely right. You should've checked again.
