Looks brilliant. Will read it all. Hopefully. EDIT: There are no links for everything except the top few articles. :/

:3 I'm sorry for my mistake here - the top 6 in the Top 14 get into the playoffs, not the Top 4. :| EDIT: Add cycling.

Dear all "Mr Politically correct" who seem to think that "tankmen" is inappropriate: Get real and get a grip. If girls get offended by "tankmen" apparently not included, then let them quit. If tankmen sounds coolest, use it. :3

That paint looks like something that someone would put into tankviewer and immediately delete. It's terrible. Oh, for the days when holiday paints actually looked special rather than some pale blue sludge. Ah well. Possibly next time. Although I've been saying that for a while now.

Oh come on people! Vote for Minions!

I had m3 freeze, firebird, smoky, twins, railgun and thunder; also m3 wasp, hunter, titan, hornet and viking. :P In a year or two people will think that OP'd and hilarious....

Journalist would be good. Right now I'm a work experience plumber though.

No, I am not series.

I voted for everything, because people who create polls where you can choose multiple answers which should be voted on just once are just asking for it. :3

Minions.

I like the notification. The further randomisation is a bit aggravating, but whatevah.

Why, thank you dear sir for applying your sense of taste in a forum to everyone else in this forum. Maybe you could consider that people have different opinions of what is entertaining and what is better? Well then, maybe some of the forum rules need to consider being altered? I never said it doesn't. I think you fail to realise the context of what I was saying. I was pointing out to Dr. Kirov that his reasoning for banning flaming, profanity and trolling was to stop racism from happening. Seems a bit too much of a precaution, no?

That Russian section looks like the most boring thing ever... Tanki needs customers. Customers, such as me, are appealed to by having a fun forum. Not one where every little thing is punished "just cause". Each rule should have a purpose to making the forum more generally enjoyable for the majority of people. :| And @ your second post: You put trolls and violaters in the same category. Why is trolling banned? It's bad business and organisation policy for things to be banned unless there is a clear reason for it. -We don't want to be the same as the Russian forum. We are a generally younger community. We are generally more laid back and less into the game than the Russian community (just a few generalized statements, I know they aren't completely accurate) -This is off-topic discussion, it's not meant to abide by the general rules of the forum. -If you don't want racist discussions, then why not ban racism and allow everything else? -If you ask the majority of the active Off-Topic-Discussion community, their favourite period was when Contaminated, kilaz, cheap_plastic_flower and other similar trolls were actively contributing to the forum - which coincides with the peak of what is widely considered trolling. The ban on trolling is clearly not intended for the general good of the community, then. -So definitions? You want us to create the definitions for your rules? You create the rules but someone else defines them? Seems a bit lame. But if you want: Flaming: Having an argument in the forums which gets too heated and becomes a means of insulting rather than trying to continue a reasonable discussion. Trolling: Going into a thread with no purpose except for derailing it due to a personal dislike of the OP/out of a plain sense of gratifying humour. Uninformative: Something which does not describe the content. Popular resource: A website which at least a few people use to get information (I don't believe this rule should apply). Advertising: Posting with the sole intention of forwarding a certain website/business with the purpose of making money or another form of currency, whether virtual or actual, from it. No meaning: A post containing one or two letters or numbers and being completely unintelligible Profanity: All words on the top result when "list of profanity" is searched on google. Insulting: Something which the moderators unanimously agree causes offence to the person it is aimed at. ^Those are my definitions in the context of the rules.

Nah, I wrote that ages and ages ago. :P

I'm coming out of garage And I've been doing just fine Gotta join a Kungur Because I want the fund It started out with that kill How did it end up like this? It was only a kill It was only a kill Now he's shooting at me And he's joining my team Then he's stealing my kills And he's stealing my fund Now he takes all the fund now And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But he's taking my fun now He takes all my fund now Let me go And I just can't look he's killing me And taking control Jealousy, turning me into a leech Sucking on my hating thoughts Choking all my enemies But it's just the price I pay Killing people has a risk Now I've thrown my life away Cause I'm Mr. skitee I'm coming out of garage And I've been doing just fine Gotta get on skype Because I want it all It started out with that kill How did it end up like this? It was only a kill It was only a kill Now I'm losing my turf And he's joining my clan And he's chatting them up Now they're turning to him Now they make him leader And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But he's ruling the clan now He makes all the rules now Let me go Cause I just can't look it's killing me And taking control Jealousy, turning me in to a leech Sucking on my hating thoughts Choking all my enemies But it's just the price I pay Killing people had that risk Now I've thrown my life away Cause I'm Mr. skitee I never I never I never ^Parody of "Mr Birghtside" by the Killers. Was planning to put it to music one day but ya...

I chose the final option. Only time will tell whether the true result will be that or the second-to-last option instead. I don't see the point of the majority of the rules and I would love "Flaming", "Trolling", "uninformative", "popular resources", "advertising", "no meaning", "profanity" and "insulting" to be clearly defined so that we avoid the situation where all we have are ambiguous terms and a bunch of moderators just making their definition of those terms up to suit themselves. Sure, no trolling is a good rule, but it depends upon what trolling actually is. If it comes to the stage where disagreeing with a point that the OP means is also defined as trolling (which one moderator a while back decided to be so) then all this forum becomes is a "Hey, I +1 you!" station rather than an actual forum. Same applies to everything else. Definitions have to be produced. I also find the final statement "consider whether it will be of interest to the Community" hilariously ironic.

^This, although I actually bought 3000 crystals in total in May 2011. :P

b was a good thing. It was great in madness to try to regain control of the bottom, each team would alternately control the bottom and capture flags at will. I enjoyed that.

I read it, but I don't see the use of it - the updates are always featured on the home page news feed, anyway.

My two favourite things in life are golf and skiing - so my name incorporates both, "ski" and "tee" - skitee. And if you believe that, you'll believe anything.

You forgot @YsUp12...

Yes, it comes down to skills. Of course it does. But, undoubtedly, you will be able to perform better using drugs. So when your team requires your use of drugs, those who don't drug just hamper the side and are equivalent to those who enter a marshal-to-generallissimo battle using m0 firebird and m0 titan.

I brought out fresh points, I didn't misunderstand your points. I just brought out fresh points. Talking about brass knuckles, what if there was a fight where brass knuckles were legal? Surely it would be an ***** whose pride got in the way and refused to bring in the brass knuckles, only to get promptly smashed? What if there was a three-man team and one of the refused to bring in brass knuckles, no matter what? Surely they would only hamper their team?

Completely agree, most druggies do that. But it is always the worst situation to be in, in drug wars when your team just refuses to drug. Drugs strengthen you - everyone knows that. Yet these people would rather sit there getting absolutely smashed and let their team lose than use 2,3, and 4 to try to contribute to the effort. Those people are the true cowards. And one or two circumstances where you wipe out druggies means nothing. Most of the best Tanki players drug. Go into no-supplies games if you want to avoid drugs.

Real players don't compromise their team by not using drugs. If the rest of your team is drugging, you have a responsibility to contribute to your team by drugging. Not doing so is cowardly.
