    It will not be closed for now, but I respect your wish to stop discussing.

    Wut? Bydo, that has nothing to do with this. Nobody stole anything from you (as you seem to like to refer to yourself as poor) nor has it been given to the rich. Helpers are volunteers who get paid a little crystals ingame. They fulfill a specific task in order to help this game go forward, but they are as much player as you are and can join as many contests as you can. Like others said above, just accept it. You have given many different arguments already when the others got counter-argumented. You have got to take the acceptance man (or whatever gender you are from)

    What the heck has happened?

    Yeah, talking Spanish is a topic like this is highly off-topic. You should take it to PM. Servers are indeed free for each language

    Let me start off with telling you that karma litterally has nothing to do with your chances of winning such a contest. I can assure you that when there are so many entries that none of the judges are interested in checking each single karma. That has simply not happened so that incident that happened before has no correlation with this. The quote that you made about the runner-ups (so 4th and higher) is quite clear isn't it? It says 'still deserve recognition'. In tanki's words that is like a top 10 or top 15. It has always been like this, you can check in the contest section of the forum. Tanki really hasn't cheated. It's probably poor choice of words but like I said in my previous post, tanki doesn't just give free tanks away.

    What the heck has happened?

    Yeah, because only people who knew what XP was joined those battles. Those who didn't know were kindly asked to leave.

    What the heck has happened?

    Back in the days when XP/BP was not a format, only people really dedicated to XP played the game, thus the XP etiquette from back then. Tanki has then introduced this gamemode enabling many noobs who never heard of XP before to get that combination not knowing anything of the etiquette and kinda starting to kill people as if it was a normal battle. It really is the influence of those people who have destroyed it. I guess it's irreversible and the only solution would be a proper xp/bp format which includes waiting till full teams, flags only grab-able when teams are full etc.

    Bydolord, I think rules are clear. For now i'll stick to the prize rules in particular as that is what I looked into. However, people are taking the rules apart and consider them each by each. The rule clearly said that 'recognizable' entries would be rewarded as well. It has been like that in the past and I think it will stay like that in the future. Tanki has rewarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd as well as runner-ups which were good, but couldn't compete to the others. It has been like that since I can remember joining the forum 5 years ago. I suppose many people misread (or unconsciously skipped) the word 'recognizable'. We sure can start the debate 'isn't every creation recognizable?'. That would require a deep view in that word, but let's be honest, it doesn't make sense if tanki gave every entry a free tank. Especially those people who claim that tanki is all about money should know that such a 'cheap company' doesn't do that. It kind of is common sense that tanki doesn't give tanks to everyone. A good solution is to change the word 'recognizable' with something that describes that those players are the runner-ups. I can assure you though that tanki doesn't consider your creation to be not recognizable.

    Ja, maar zodra ze idd op missie zijn dan kun je vergeten dat er geen slachtoffers vallen, dan is het zaak zoveel mogelijk levens te redden en dat had dan nog gedaan kunnen worden. Ik kan je verzekeren dat het niet in deze ernstige mate in Israel mogelijk was. Maar een vliegveld is hiervoor onbeveiligbaar. Als je voor de ingang beveiligingspoortjes enzo zet ontstaat er daar een rij, dus een target. Dit moet pro-actief aangepakt worden, en dat is extreem moeilijk. Dat zijn erg lastige dingen, is het misschien een overweging het anoniem te melden? Het zijn echt ethische kwesties waar je mee zit, maar dit soort mensen horen niet vrij te lopen, en ik denk dat het erg moeilijk is om je geweten tegen te spreken. Tenminste, ik verwacht dat die dan spreekt :D

    You should get yourself a topic or whatever, become a reporter and post it in the newspaper, but spamming it on so many conversation clubs, sometimes cutting off the conversation that was going on in there, is annoying.

    Ja, je moet het inderdaad in de voorbereidingsfase al aanpakken, anders is een explosie onvermijdelijk. Dat is zeker erg moeilijk, en vaak hebben die mensen dan ook nog rechten, zoals hiervoor al werd gezegd: Teruggekeerde syriegangers worden niet preventief opgepakt. Die moet je sowieso 24/7 in de gaten houden dan natuurlijk. Maar ook op beveiligingsniveau moet er nog wat verbeterd worden. Zo was er duidelijk onvoldoende juiste beveiliging op Zaventem. Kijk maar eens op de foto Beide heren lopen met 1 handschoen om. Ten eerste was het niet extreem koud op dat moment, ten tweede is het natuurlijk erg vreemd als 2 mannen die bij elkaar lopen allebei maar 1 handschoen aan hadden. Het spreekt voor zich dat de ontsteker in de handschoen zit. In Tel Aviv Airport (Israel) lopen er allemaal beveiligers rond die heel erg getraint zijn in het opsporen van dit soort vreemde praktijken. Dat vliegveld staat ook wel bekend als het veiligste vliegveld ter wereld. Dat soort trainingen moeten allang geimplementeerd zijn in Nederland en België. Maarja.. kosten hè :/ Ik moet er wel bij zeggen dat je een aanslag niet voorkomt als je die mannen tegenhoudt. Alleen een direct-kill zou uit kunnen komen, maar je kan niet iedereen met 1 handschoen preventief neerschieten. Dus die explosie komt er wel, maar de terroristen hebben niet de kans gehad om een grote groep mensen op te zoeken dus zal de schade minder zijn.

    Oh looks good, you could even try XP with it. Just not too sure if those exist on your rank

    Er is wel wat aan te doen, maar de Belgische overheid is totaal verkeerd ingericht. Met name de politie dan. Ik heb begrepen dat België geen wijkagenten hebben. Die agenten zijn verantwoordelijk voor een wijk en pikken alles gelijk op als er wat aan de hand is. Abdeslam loopt een aantal weken rustig door de wijk Molenbeek, en de politie heeft het niet door. De andere mensen houden hun mond ook dicht. Vooral dat laatste is ernstig maar had heel erg makkelijk voorkomen kunnen worden. Een wijkagent pikt zulke dingen gelijk op. Zo ook radicaliserende jongeren en hij is een aanspreekpunt. In Nederland is er laatst een terreurverdachte gearresteerd in Rotterdam. Achteraf werd er een buurtbewoner geinterviewd op de radio die zei "ik zag steeds vreemde figuren daar komen, ze worden opeens naar binnen getrokken en ze hadden steeds tassen met zich mee". Die dingen worden opgepikt door buurtbewoners en als er dan een aanspreekpunt voor ze is, heeft de politie er meer controle over. Overigens ben ik hier niet om België af te kraken hoor, gewoon aanduiden waar er op dit vlak wat verbeterd kan worden :D

    I appreciate the feedback from both you guys. Thanks for participating eventhough it may have turned out in a disappointement. Again, thanks, appreciated. See you 2 on the battlefield guys :)

    Or that guy is very skilled in cutting wood. I understand your frustration, but being negative about other peoples entries is not quite the solution. And it also makes you look bad. You should stop the negativity and enjoy what other tankers made.

    Craft-A-Tank Winners Announced!

    Please, you have no idea what the winners did to make what they made. They are real masterpieces and it is not up to you to judge whether they made it themselves or not. Just accept that those were great entries. Hear the creator out before you judge.

    Craft-A-Tank Winners Announced!

    Guys, I understand your frustrations but that is no reason to judge on other entries. Those people did as evenly creative as you probably were. I saw someone saying that the 1st place probably bought that. Such specific design with a wasp and firebird XT even with lights in them are definitely not for sale anywere. This guy is hugely creative and really deserves to be on the first place. Be honest about it, it looks awesome. Second, I see many people complaining about that tanki does not give their 'promised' prizes to everyone. This probably resulted in misreading what it said. It says that 'recognizable' entries will be rewarded 20 000 crystals, the MU's and some supplies. You sure can debate what they mean with 'recognizable', but Tanki never intended to give everyone a prize.

    Voice chat in battles

    *Ahem* If I were to show a PM of yours in here I would have to censor a lot of words of you. Thank you for your acceptance of being childish :) As for the topic: I think that if this would be implemented ever that we have to be able to play on a client. Also, World of Tanks has the same and I do not believe that it is very popular. However, it's definitely something to think through, you should probably note down very clearly the advantaqes and disadvantages

    The Injustices of Tanki Online - Discuss

    Well, instant help is hard to obtain. There are thousands of battles going on at the same time and we're dealing with a group of chatmods which is not much bigger than 100, putting all communities altogether. Those mods are not online at the same time nor 24/7 you know the deal. It is near to impossible to manually deal with all mults that come up. It would require an automated system. But how do you build such a system? Do you base it on how much players have earned within a certain amount of time? No, there is a good chance it will kick actual players who are not so good in the game and they deserve to play the game as well. I am not too informed about the way other games work with this, but I have played World Of Tanks as well. They don't have active moderation at all. For what I have seen they base their entire punishing violators on repressive measures. They are not pro-active at all. That means that if you have a teamkiller in a battle, you're done. There is nothing you can do, except for killing that guy and of course reporting, which is done by pressing 2 buttons. Maybe you can also compare it to real life. When you get robbed and you call the police, they are too late sometimes. To conclude, it is very hard to control a big crowd like the tanki players. A game like tanki must rely on reports as well. However, having an automated report system would not be such a bad thing in my opinion.
