Type longer sentences, not lots of word-long chats. I'm sorry, but you can understand why, say, 5 posts in two seconds are deemed as flood by the system - right? Even if they are a legit conversation.

My machines are unhackable. But even if they are hackable, I get a rifle out, shoot your hovercraft, and pop the air balloon so you fall on the mines. You can't assassinate me anyway, because I excel in hand-to-hand combat. That's a good one. However, we haven't waited the years yet. Let's wait. I'll see you in 5 years. You can't fast forward time like that.

First of all, your helicopter wouldn't have come within ten miles of my hill. My guns are automatically programmed to shoot, remember? And the bomb also wouldn't have worked, because I'd have thrown it off my island before you'd have a chance to get back to your home and detonate it. You lose again, mortal. Try one more time.

Technically you didn't tell us how you discovered how to become immortal, nor how you hired the atomic bomb sqad. I don't even know what an atomic bomb sqad is, do you mean squad? In which case that isn't possible, because atomic bombs don't form squads. Neither can you hire them, because they'll blow up and so you aren't able to pay the money back to the owner. Thus, you didn't take over my hill. Try again, with more logic next time.

Chuck Norris knows awesomeness when he sees it, and turns around with a mutual respect for me. He could take me out if he wants to, but he knows that I'm stronger than you, so he leaves me alone. Try again.

OMG this is fact that this forum really has gone. I have played this forum game so many times on other forums, until eventually we were having great fun battles where people were starting to nuke each other off hills, using anti-missiles, and all sorts of things - and this guy comes in and "assassinates me in my sleep". How lame is that? Don't you know that: No, you don't win. I wasn't sleeping, I used my anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot you whilst you were parachuting down. You respawn, and live to plan another attack on my fortress hill.

I don't see the need of all the hate statements here. I don't find this funny, but then again it's better than 95% of the things on this forum. CPF's other ones on other subjects were funny, nonetheless, especially the private battle one - or that may have just been funny because of nuclearbom's epic fail in reply - but it's still quite cool. Just because he does something that your sense of humour does not enjoy as funny. @Cheap_Plastic_Flower: 95% of us gave up trying to instil friendliness and sensibility in this forum a long time ago.

So technically the guy above me did not actually become king of the hill, just pushed someone off the existing hill and is too lazy to state that they are king of the hill? :S Just goes to show how lame forum games are nowadays. Anyway, seeing how the hill is now empty, I am going to go and claim it for myself. I raise my standard over the hill and start to build machine gun turrets all around the hill, which are programmed to shoot anybody who comes within range. I also mine out the hill, for good measure, and pick up the hill and move it so that it is now on a floating island in the middle of a sea of hydrochloric acid, so that people cannot swim to the hill either and take it off me now. And I want someone who actually logically will beat that to try and take me off king of the hill, not someone who wants to lift their post count by playing forum games all day.

1. That aint the FAQ, this is: http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/120569.page 2. Kool just copied mah words, potentially upcoming was what I said. :evil:

0. What's the point, seeing how I can't win the contest?

I think there should be pink paints, although I do suppose that my view in this issue is biased by the fact that pink is my favourite colour.

Lol G is trying to change results so he is top... playing 10 minute games, then saying reiki's map against the rules. xD G, just play Reiki and beat him if you want to be top by right..

Thanks a lot. If there are any other questions you need answered, send me a PM and I will try to answer them - no promises that I know the answer, mind.

Look at that picture... you saying he should have got 1519x his experience for the last kill? -.-

Smoky XT was real. It was a temporary weapon.

I agree that a new lower ranks map should be created, or at least one of the existing maps should be brought down to recruit. Is it a coincidence that approximately 25% of the entire forum community consists of people who registered accounts during the short time when Polygon was available for low ranks?

Skitee vs Seemefly: http://i.imgur.com/QDUoL.jpg I also dueled "Kristaps" - I lost 14-2. I don't have a picture though.

Me. :roll:

Kolhoz is all right, but there are just so many maps that aren't played! Red Alert and Chernobyl are two others which I've recently discovered as quite fantastic maps, and I'm sure there are many more.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm already working on featuring that one next issue.

Skitee: So, let's get started. First of all, who are you and what is your callsign in tanki? RoyJonesJR: Hello. My name is Eimantas, and in tanki my callsign is RoyJonesJR S: And which clan are you leader of? R: Clan TTS (Try To Stop) S: And are you the only leader of that clan? R: No, I'm not the only one leader. We are 2 leaders of this clan, it's me, and Veni.Vidi.Vici-AFG, the guy which I know for long, and I trust him like my brother. S: Can you tell us a few sentences about your clan? When were you created? Who are your members? What language do you speak? etc R: Ok my clan was created in the end of Autumn of 2011, so it's still young clan. The clan lineup is based by friendship. Most of my main players I know long time, we playing together more than a year. And one day we just decided to make it official and try to compete with all other clans. We're speaking English language mostly, but let's say 1/3 of TTS can speak Russian also. We did it to get a chance communicate in Russian clans section and tournaments and in English section also. S: Ok, and how successful have you been in your clan wars and tournaments since then? R: We haven't played any official clan wars, and we haven't taken part in official tournaments also. We're playing just practising matches between each other and against friends who also want to train. We are always waiting for other clans challenges to play official matches. Now, as we all know, quickly will start TOF (Dream Team) tournament. At this time we're trying to train a lot to get better shape for that tournament. S: All right, well, good luck in that tournament! Now, about your clan: When you were created, what was your aim in creating a clan? R: As I said, the clan was created at 2011 November. Clan motivation was to be official, and play official matches, because until that, we were same players, but playing just for fun and unofficial, so we decided to try it in official tournaments and battles. And the aim for sure is to win most clan wars as possible and to get best place in tournaments as possible also (same like all clans I guess) S: Your clan has a unique name. Why did you call your clan "Try to Stop"? R: It's pretty long story, it's came because of one player who are one of my closiest friends in tanki which name is "Zee_Hero". Long time he was known as "stratomedia" but he changed the nickname. The story is: One day I wrote to friends that I'm going to eat, and I was back just after 2 hours, then when I always said I'm going to eat, Zee_Hero said, someone Try To Stop him because he gonna eat again 2 hours. And because of this joke, I decided to make the clan name like this. That's simple and funny story. Anyway, name of the clan don't give you benefits to get better results. S: And what's your logo all about? R: About the clan logo, the bear is just associated with power, anger, so we are trying to be like bears and fight hard in every minute of our battles - Hah. S: Aha. What, would you say, is the most important thing to you about your clan? R: Most important thing, is that we all are friends. No unknown players, everyone know each other good. This help us avoid problems in clan, because everyone respect each other, and ready to do everything for each other. This is the strong side of our clan. S: Ok, so you don't accept new members at all? R: We do. The requirements is to be experienced, respected in Tanki Online community, well spoken in English language. And of course, powerful garage. S: Alright. So why do you think that it is so important, as you mentioned earlier, that knowing everybody in the clan is? Do you think that it should be a priority in all clans? R: This is just help us avoid problems between each other inside the clan. It helps all members feel free and feel respected in the clan. And of course, it's much easier to play in the games when you know each other moves, style of playing, and other things, but I can't say it should be a priority to all clans. S: What do you think, from your experience, should be a priority to all clans? What do you think new clan leaders should prioritize when creating clans? R: In my opinion, most important thing is control of your clan, and control of your teammates. All members in battles must understand what they need to do, and leader must say them what to do, and why they need to do it. If your clan members are friends, it's much easier. But the priority is - motivation to make good clan and win most clan wars as possible S: Ok. Do you think that it's possible to be a good [not strong] clan without doing well in clan wars? R: Depends on what we call good clan. If we call good clan by the lineup, and by the rankings on players, then yes, but if we sort good clans by results, then no. S: Well, different clans have different opinions on clan politics. Chriswu mentioned in the interview that I did with him that he thinks that new clan leaders should remember that m3 weapons and tanks are "merely a decoration", it is "friendship and personality" that is more important. What do you think about that? R: I would like to disagree with him, because if you make clan for victories, your members must have m3 weapons. If you make clan just to be with friends in one place, then yes, but in this case better to be just group or "gang" like other players called. If you make clan, it means you want victories, if you want victories, you must have best possible garage and weapons. S: Okay. So what will be your ambitions for your clan in the future? What would you like to see happen to you guys? R: The ambitions is high. To get very good shape in clan wars, to work well like a team, not like seperate players, and of course - to win tournaments and get respect for everyone like a good clan. S: Ok. I wish you all luck in achieving those aims in the future, and I hope that you guys can go on to get stronger! Good luck in the Dream team as well! R: Thank you very much for these wishes. Thanks everyone who supporting us. And good luck to everyone who will read this interview.

Skitee: So, thanks for taking time out to talk today. First of all, who are you? Chriswu: My real name is Christopher Wu, I'm 15. S: What is your callsign in Tanki Online? C: chriswu :P S: And what clan do you represent? C: I proudly represent The Ironclads of Tanki Online. S: All right, and about your clan: When did the history start? Were you the founder of The Ironclads, or have you inherited it from someone else? C: IC came into existence about a year ago in May. It started when I became friends with Superkid33. We had a mutual interest in creating a clan, though previous attempts had failed due to various reasons. I was the founder of IC, due to the fact that it was my idea. S: Ok. And why exactly was it that you guys had a "mutual interest in creating a clan"? What caused this interest? C: Well, for one thing, we had been in SS previously, and had enjoyed having companions to play with. However, SS was a little above our level at the time, so we wanted to start small with some friends we knew in Tanki. Another factor is as we all know, ambition and a little attention seeking. While these may not be great attributes to be emulated, they can cause you to become wiser. Ambition also made us jump into the art of clan creation, as amateur and inexperienced as we may have been at the time. While our clans we dreamed of failed, I would never have gained the valuable experience I have now without mistakes. S: Ok. So do you think you have learnt from being a clan leader? To what extent? C: Yes most certainly. And about your question "To what extent?": I have to say that it's hard to quantify my experience, but I will say I have learned a lot about leadership, friendships over the internet, and about other people. S: Ok. Going back to your original answer to which clan you represented, you mentioned that you were "proud" to lead the Ironclads. Why is this? Is there anything about the Ironclads that is particularly unique? C: Through my time in IC, my assistants and I have sought to reform and improve the clan. Initially starting with the idea of growing in "firepower", we soon learned that it is difficult, if not impossible, for a clan of our type to dominate Tanki's clan arena. Therefore we've tried to excel in all other aspects of integrity, friendship, consistency, and respect. One can see that we have a Bible verse in our clan OP. While not all of our members are Christian or religious per se, we still believe that the bible verse is one of many ways IC has shown its merit and goals. Because of the friends I have come to know in IC, I can say that I am proud to lead it. S: In terms of your history: Your clan has an interesting history. You spent quite a while as an "unofficial" clan? What do you have to say about that? C: Personally I experienced both positive and negative things when IC was unofficial. We had negative experiences as an unofficial clan in that we had little respect and success against the official clans and their members. As a result it was hard to promote the clan and recruit good players, so we were treated like "second class citizens". However, we also had positive experiences. As we progressed and grew towards becoming official, we got to know each other very well and now have a strong mutual respect for each other and lots of funny stories to talk about. S: And did you ever feel like giving up because of nobody knowing of you as a clan? C: In some respects. It was frustrating to get slaughtered in over ambitious clan wars. When IC was unofficial, we had zero success in clan wars, and this was immensely frustrating. It's very painful to see your friends join dominating clans and become pros while you are working very hard to accomplish what little you can. S: So in that regard, what could you say to encourage leaders of unofficial clans today? C: For one thing, leading an unofficial clan and learning from mistakes is far better than trying to start an unofficial clan but rapidly falling apart. If one is planning to become a clan leader, it's best to begin with an unofficial clan. Ignore all the negative comments and rude remarks from others, because they don't do more than add pages to your topic. Make sure you don't judge by garage, but by maturity and personality. Pick good members to help with administrative responsibilities, and always remember that an m3 garage is merely a decoration. While it certainly helps on the battlefield, there are far more things involved in "clanning" than an expensive tank. Choose members wisely, remember to keep things interesting, be persistent and robust, and you will be on the path to success. S: Going back to what you mentioned earlier about the Bible verse, what do you feel about it - do you think that it is a positive thing or a negative thing? How do you think you would respond to people getting agressive about your clan because you have it there? C: I think it's a positive thing. Initially I was hesitant to put it up there, but my trusted HC assistant named sk*tee convinced me to put it up none the less. I had my doubts, but over time, I've gotten a couple very encouraging comments and pms concerning it. I realized it truly has been a good representation of our clan, if only in spirit. If people were to get aggressive because of a bible verse on my clan's thread, I'd respect their opinions, but their opinions don't override what is A: right, and B: what is on MY clan's OP. I haven't gotten any negatives from anyone in IC, so if there's aggression, it's from outside. S: All right - it certainly is an advantage not to listen to people's opinions outside the clan, as often they do more harm than good. However, going back to a point you made earlier: you said that growing in "firepower" was secondary to "integrity and friendship". Does this mean that "firepower" is of little concern to you? C: Not really, it still is a concern when it comes to clan wars and other competitive events. However, it isn't a primary concern, as we still have lots of time and room to grow. It will come eventually I am sure, but I'd rather have a group of really nice and friendly people than a bunch of fireblasting trolls. :P S: Aha, I think I understand your point. So is growing in "firepower" one of the aims of your clan? What would, you say, be the aims of your clan for the future? What would you like to see happen to you? C: Some firepower is always a nice thing. I'd like to see more of it in the clan as time runs its course. I'd also like to see, most importantly, the maintaining of our current ideals. Personally, though I don't speak for all my clan when I say this, I don't really care if we end up winning a TOF or something in the future. It's something we should strive for, but not be obsessed about. We entered this year in the TOF warm up organized by meat and koolwalky. Entering, there was a lot of tension and fear about how our reputation would be affected if we were to have a really big defeat. However, even though we did suffer a big loss to SS, we realized that for the most part our status remained unchanged. Our members didn't complain or quit, and we didn't get trolled by other clans. Competiton therefore isn't the whole point of having a clan. TOF showed us we can survive anything. S: Now I see good reason why you have your stance on clan wars, and I agree that many clans put too much priority upon them. Are there any more specific ambitions that you have or not? C: I gotta win that clan logo contest!!! Nah, just kidding, not really any strong ambitions. S: Haha, well, when this is published, the results will have already come out. Anyway, thanks for the interview, it's been great talking to you and I wish IC all the best - not least because I'm part of it! Finally, is there anybody who's contributed massively to IC that you'd like to thank? C: um... uh... skitee, lhamster, hogree, neo9xt, tzen, guh, and all of the old ICer's! S: Alright, thanks a lot for the interview! C: No problem!

Skitee: Ok. Good evening. Contaminated: Hola mi amigo S: Hi, lol. What's your callsign in tanki, and which clan are you leader of? C: I find it hard to remember... but let me try. I think it was something along the lines of... con- cont- oh Contaminated that's it! And I co-lead "Domination Clan" along with af6an4life and Alklines S: Alright. So who are you guys? What is your clan? Can you explain a few things about who you are, and who your clan is for us? C: My clan is a group of friends that originaly came together on facebook. The four of us; Me, A_N_F_O, af6an4life, Alklines were the first ones in it. It started off as a small clan "soldaty", which aparently was 're-opened' according to Alklines. Soon me and af6an4life left and started Domination, later Alklines and a few members from Soldaty joined in. That is a bit about our history. As normally, we are a normal clan that is mostly balanced with m3/m3 users and some m2/m2 users. We participate in most clan competitions and wars as most clans do. S: Alright. So why was it that you four created the clan? C: It was an old idea I had. I planned to create a clan with A_N_F_O as the second leader so we can play together, but later Alklines invited us to Soldaty. The four of us became close friends but me and af6an4life didn't quite like Soldaty so we decided to start are own. Alklines, which was the leader of Soldaty eventually became a leader in Domination Clan. Essencially you can say that Domination Clan is Soldaty with a different name and new members... but we don't like to think of it that way. I don't really know the history of Soldaty because apparently the one I was in was 'Soldaty 2.0' technically speaking. S: Ok. And what was the aim of the clan when you created it? C: Simple. To have fun, and of course to DOMINATE !!! S: What do you mean by dominating? C: Winning battles, destroying other teams. One can't simply win a battle with a team full of randoms. S: Agreed about that. Organisation and planning are neccessary. Anyway, what is it about DC that you think is special from the other clans? C: It's definitely our community. No group of people can be the same. Most of us live in the USA and Canada and are below the age of 18... we joke around often. We love to have fun but sometimes get lazy. Our tanks are just as any normal clan, though we have a destinctive hate for Isida's. I noticed we also have many railgun users in the clan, so you can say a lot of the clan are fans of long range combat... if you include the shafts and thunders. S: Alright - I personally count shafts and thunders in long range combat, I don't know about you - but I do think most people agree with me. Anyway, about DC: You're a relatively new clan, yet you've already become quite high up in the clan charts. What's been the secret to your success? C: Organization! Most people could agree that I am over-organized within the clan. I always talk to members and give advice to everyone. We also have a lot of members. Primarily because when we started most of my friends and ex-soldaty members joined instantly. We were soon up to 40 members in a few weeks. After we re-opened DC, we had some trouble getting everyone to join back, but now we're at 37 members and stronger than we have ever been in the past. Also, because we started at a time when there were not many clans (Before the clan dance competition) we had a bit of a head start over the much newer 2-3 month old clans. S: Uhuh, but you guys are still a lot younger than the other clans I've interviewed - SS, DD, IC, and TTS - yet you're right up there! I have to congratulate you guys on that. Anyway, what are your ambitions for DC in the future? What is the foundation that DC is built on and what do you want to build up in the future? C: We eventually hope to be as strong as some of the other clans you mentioned, but we have lots of work getting 10 or so members earn their m3/m3 gear. We will soon start organizing clan wars and trainings. Hopefully we will be able to maintain being in the top five or six english clans for the rest of the time we are active. As always, we are playing to have fun, and as long as we have fun we will continue improving this clan and it's members. S: Alright. Anyway, if there was one thing you think is important about a clan, what would it be? C: It's friendship for sure. Without friendship there is no fun, there is no teamwork. You need teamwork to win battles, and if everyone constantly disagrees with others then we cannot work as a team effectively. S: Well, that's all I've got time for today. Thanks for the interview and very sorry it could not have been longer. :(
