Yes, I live along the same line as you (the Reading - Waterloo one) but would rather not be specific here. And FYI, nobody lives in Clapham. Clapham is just a train station.

I don't know whether you're playing the same game as I am. Enjoyment is relative. Pre-rebalance, Tanki was boring (in my mind). Gameplay was predictable, Shaft was overpowered, everyone had the same gear, protection paints from your weapon were everywhere (and everyone used the same paints) and it all was boring, whatever map you played in. To me, the rebalance changed all that, I enjoy the game far more now. Gameplay is far more interesting, the weapons are more annoying but that just enhances your skill, everyone has different protection paints (And if they all use the same paint, counter that with a different weapon :) ). The only downside is the increased prices. *6

Yes, I live within five minutes walk of one of the main stations (well, every train that goes past stops there). Why do you ask?

I find your lack of faith disturbing. You mentioned the use yourself - fund distribution. Like someone above me said, it's a lot easier to divide 40 crystals among 5 people than it is to divide 4 among those same five people.

I guess this is a good thing, assuming there are no appalling glitches. :L And everyone will get "new records" of funds very soon. (I also hope that the fund will go up, maybe, 15x the current amount rather than 10? :) ) How so? Methinks you didn't understand it.

I also like to refresh my browser. What it has to do with bombing I have no idea.

What a disaster, you were unable to get eight consecutive posts on the forum. Now get off the computer and mediate upon what actually matters in life.

FBI, I treated him that way because he asked to be mentioned. :P Guess who was the other person who asked to be mentioned?

I wrote an article about clans sometime last year, http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=117311 For more FAQs, here: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=120014

*grammar; Yes, I am. Why shouldn't I be? :P

No it isn't, a good reporter should have prepared their article way in advance so that they had their content churned out on time and to the highest quality possible.

You can play already by using a direct link to the servers, such as: tankionline.com/battle-en2.html

I wanted "worthy of mention" to be an elite group. You were among the "best of the rest", if that's any consolation.

I didn't even notice that, nice work to find that! :)

I am happy - the prices and everything was gutting for me, and my garage now is infinitely weaker than it was (having had to spend half of my crystals on experience just so I can get an m3 weapon or hull) but gameplay is far more entertaining. And because of that, I like it.

@OP: You say "at the rate you are getting crystals". Of course. At the rate you are getting crystals, you will struggle to reach that amount. But let me tell you that in Tanki, funds rise faster, crystal boxes fall more regularly, crystal bonuses include more crystals, and you earn more crystals as ranks get higher. 4000 is a perfectly legitimate amount for players at the warrant officer ranks who will earn that amount (or at least I did in the warrant officer ranks, those of you who don't maybe should stop complaining about tanki and wonder about your own ability instead) quiet comfortably.

The decrease in errors is due in part to increased excellence in proofreading and may also be due to the change of author in this series....

I would like to express displeasure at the lack of faith in your reporters. Despite the fact that we all have personal inclinations for/against some of the competitors, nobody let that get in the way of their decision (most clearly expressed by the fact that I thought hogree should get 2nd despite him being my brother). I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I didn't really want them to be too realistic. "Next year's" was in account of a complete coding hashup I had once, where all my code broke down, and apostrophes turned into a strange string of nothingness, I used "find and replace" but there were some abnormalities. What is wrong with the other section? And conanthedestroyer and Tommy60 did my proofreading. (as well as myself)

That is the truth, I wrote an article back in Issue 1 about it. Was Wolfenstein ever played? Unfortunately, Magadan was never popular so how could it have "died"?

Who doesn't?

Dude stop creating topics about beavers.

So you consider yourself a bit of a tanki nerd? A know-it-all? Think that you can answer anything about your favourite game, if put to the test? Well, if so, you now have the chance to win crystals with your knowledge! 10000 crystals will be given to the first five players who send me correct answers to all the following questions in my Private message, as long as the subject is clearly labelled as “So you think that you know the maps?” 1. What was the first map released in Tanki Online? 2. What is the only map which does not have the TDM game-mode? 3. When "Sandbox II" existed, what was the difference between it and "Sandbox"? 4. Who created the map “Iran”? 5. When Massacre was originally released, what rank was it unlocked at? 6. Also, when Massacre was originally released, how many players per team was it possible to hold? 7. Which Fort Knox was the first to be released: Fort Knox III, Fort Knox II, or Fort Knox? 8. Which was the first map to be introduced using the “Desert props” (the props used in maps such as Stadium, Rift and Garder)? 9. Which was the largest “Happy New Year” map: 2011, 2012, or 2013? 10. In which map was this? (The map still exists today)? You can find your information in old archive forum topics, the "Patch Notes/Updates" thread, and from older players... Good luck!

When? Hopefully in the next couple of days. Where? In this forum section.

My favourite ban: The one I got for saying "wtf". It was my first, the first of a number, and will be one which I will always cherish until the end of my life. My favourite singer: I quite like a match. Very small, but still extremely effective for singeing. IMHO they are extremely underrated, a good match is a very good singeing device, especially if you wish to singe a cloth or a piece of paper My favourite tank: I do quite like the boiler in my bedroom. The sounds it makes are very reassuring to me as I try to get to sleep despite my secret fears of monsters in my closet coming out to eat me. I always am reassured by the sounds from my boiler, as I know that my boiler will always protect me if a monster does appear. My favourite gun: I'm a pacifist. I do not appreciate guns in any way. Except water guns. But only if the water guns are used to water my daffodils. My favourite hull: I like Kingston-Upon-Hull. A nice, cozy little town. Either that or the hull on the toy boat I play with in the bath. That is also a very good hull. The main reason being that I love the light pink colour, it's beautiful. My favourite artist: Picasso and Monet are both pretty good, but the best surely has to be Van Gogh. That starry night! Dude... nothing can ever be better than that, surely?
