"Crystal harvesting"? All of us have been newbies at one time or the other. When only 50 crystals were left to buy that M2 railgun, when you get into the battle in the hope of being in the winning team and getting some crystals, when every single crystal drop was essential for our budget..... those were the days :lol: . What we didn't know then was that everyone else was suffering from our ineffectiveness in the battle meaning that when we collected those few crystals that fell from the sky, we were selfish enough not to consider the fact that our team was losing because of us. Most of these players do this from ignorance, they need Tanki education before they get into trouble. This is sabotage and against the Tanki rules. Such punishable offenses are almost impossible to detect without the help of a mod. :( Its always best to report to a mod in the forum if this occurs. The algorithm is against cheaters only! This is a separate offence altogether.

Hello! In the fight against "cheaters" on (April 10, 2012), we blocked the 11,172 accounts, which used a third-party software, namely the so-called "Flagteleport" Also, we tried to answer the most frequently asked questions about the "Cheats" and "cheaters." Questions are taken from the topic "The first statistics on the clean-up cheaters." Cheaters as they were, they still are These measures that are already working, do not block the cheaters during the act, and it makes cheating unprofitable. The system of instant blocking is still to run, and it will happen in the coming days. The system is partly based on statistics that are collected and analyzed. In addition, the activity of cheaters is set at getting more results while it is still possible (and, by the way, in vain.) Lets introduce the voting for the "kick" against offenders, to all those present in the battle, where players are able to remove the offender (eg cheater) from the Battle. The system can certainly help, but there is a downside of this feature - some honest players will suffer including the strong well equipped ones (with battle supplies) and simply "inconvenient" players. Not forgetting our policy - do no harm. To bind accounts to make a cell phone or register via SMS or make a paid registration. We do not want to bind tightly to the account in the game reinforced concrete foundations, such as mobile numbers, as this will lead to a significant decrease in the number of registrations. As an option - would be, binding the account in a social network. It is only voluntary. Those who want in case of problems to quickly return their accounts. I'm scared to play, the system may mistake me for cheater and block me, because I'm pretty good Indicators for which "cheaters" are blocked can not be repeated without the use of third-party software. Example: Marshall, 0 kills, 2 deaths, 205 crystals of wealth in the garage with only wasp and smoky. So do not be afraid to play. For beginners the indicators may be abnormal (D/L = 30, wealth = 0, ...). They will blocked? Of course not. For beginners, there is a different system. When active "cheaters" are blocked, they will come back more cautious Now "under surveillance" are accounts with really incredible performance, but the filter will be constantly be adjusted and made flexible to block more and more offenders. Do not worry, as this won't come even close to innocent players. I have a super idea! Let's make the ban by IP. It can not be done in any case. It often happens that a single provider has one IP. If we ban this address, then we have several hundreds or even thousands, of players that lose the game. That is likely to harm the innocent players. Your actions are not timely, you are punishing the offender, yet he has spoiled the battle already We fully understand this and are making the most to complicate the life of a "cheater." Enough statistics are still being gathered release an automatic system that will automatically block one hundred percent of the violators. I'm a fan of catching gold, my account was blocked, I am innocent Yes, unfortunately some innocent gold diggers we still "hooked", for which we bring our deepest apologies and unlock their accounts. This error in the future will be taken into account. And now a little bit offtopic: At one site, which sells accounts from Tanki Online happened an "unpleasant incident": Players bought cheat accounts for real money. Then of course the new owners did not know the origin of their accounts, the accounts have been pimped up using "cheat" methods, and after Friday (04/06/2012) blocking the majority were caught. Conclusion: DO NOT BUY ACCOUNTS!

Hello Tankmen! Wouldn't it be nice if we started a daily comic column where players can express themselves in the form of tanki drawings or screenshots A short history on comics. A comic , (from the Greek κωμικός, kōmikos "meaning of or pertaining to comedy") Although some comics are picture-only, they usually expand upon the pictures, but sometimes act in counterpoint. Comics is a language. It's a language most people understand intuitively. Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out. Here is one of the works from tankmen, really artistic and funny. This is an artistic way of expressing yourself. Here is example of a Tanki comic. The idea is to have a group of tankmen working on the comics column which will release daily comics whose content is taken from the day to day life in Tanki Online. All those who are willing can leave applications in the form of a Tanki comic in this topic. Here is a good example of how the pro's are doing it in the Russia Forum Niggel's work
