Just wondering, how come they got vBulletin and we got JForum? :wink: No harm done in the process of writing this question, no animals were harmed nor the environment was polluted with toxic emoticons.

CTF is out of the question for you. You will not get the chance to get too many flags nor kill too many opponents due to your low rank (I assume) therefore less crystals for you. Except maybe if you play only low rank CTF battles in which case crystals will not fall as often as in high rank battles.I like DM because I like to rely on myself only, but I have the tools for it. DM could be an option for you also, but be prepared to be destroyed very often. Having said that, you will still get the chance to steal some crystals at least when you re-spawn near the crystals falling place therefore you have a pretty good chance to outrun, let's say a marshal, who's rushing towards that place from a far away re-spawn point on the map. About TDM, hmm.. I guess you could do that also but you need good friends (high rank preferably :)) who will accept playing with you without leaving the battle. If you have that, the chances to get more crystals are higher that in a DM battle because your team has your back, you can use your team mates to hide and so on.. Do not take my words for granted. There are many things you need to know in this game, and what I have told you is very far from being a complete guide on how to play. Eventually you will figure many of them on your own. That's the fun part of it and I'm not going take that away from you by revealing all the secrets. :wink:

On 10/04/2011 this conversaion took place: Ippi, tech support, replied:

I'm a marshal and when I have time to play I make about 1000-1500 crystals/day due to my garage. As you will grow, you will see that the game get's a lot more easy than it is now. You need to make some friends, learn some tactics from older players, decide what kind of play-style you like most - aggressive, camper, sniper, close combat and so on - then ask around a little about the weapons that are needed for those. One quick solution that I can think right now for you to make more crystals a little more faster is to "go Kamikaze" meaning that you crawl the game servers and sit in the lobby looking for those type of battles with no rank restriction (all ranks allowed) and a high flag/kills/time limit. One example is Highland I/II. If there are a few high ranks there, crystals will fall very often. If you don't care about your K/D ratio and rating in the HOF, you can go there and try to outrun others in the crystals rush madness. This way, you have a better chance of collecting more crystals in a shorter period of time. But your rating will be ruined. Stronger players will basically pulverize you into pieces every time they will get you in their sight. :)

In case you need it, you can convert 06:00 UTC+4 in your Local Time Zone using this Time Zone Converter, for example.

So you want to be refunded with the full price for everything you ever bought even though maybe you bought some items at 25% discount and furthermore, after you get that you want another 25% discount to buy back all the items again. This way you get lucky twice. Not bad...not bad at all. :mrgreen:

1. To really check if you have installed FP debug version installed, look below at the "Debug Player: Yes/No" line. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507/images/flashplayerversion.swf 2. Test servers are not always available by my knowledge. 3. Maybe you're not a tester? :wink:

First, uninstall whatever Flash Player you installed, using with the Adobe uninstaller from here: Flash Player Uninstaller Then you need to reinstall the right Flash Player version depending on the browser that you use, or you can install all of them if you use various browsers. This is for Windows 7/Vista/XP/2008/2003 -> 32 bits/64 bits. Flash Player 10.2 for Windows Internet Explorer (for Internet Explorer) Flash Player 10.2 for Windows - Other Browsers (for Netscape-compatible browsers - Firefox, Safari, Opera) During install, you will be asked to close some apps. After the installation finishes, you can check if Flash Player is installed here. This is the basic stuff. If this does not work, please be so kind to give more details about what exactly the returned error is, what OS are you using as well as any other detail that might help in solving your problem.

I think he's saying that there was no discount so far and he's asking why...or at least that's what I think he's asking..:) May be it's better to make discounts everyday?))) It's impossible to make discounts every holiday. Everyone will have m3 and full set of drugs. I don't even want discount for the 9th of may. Don't wanna see newbies with all m3 :) I also don't want discount. I was just trying to decipher his post, nothing more.

Huh...what? I was not being ironic there..that's what I think he asked..

http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/39127.page#719331 Think about it a little...if all players will receive the regular price for all the weapons they have in the garage even thought some of them bought discounted items, then it would be unfair for the rest of the players who didn't buy anything at a discounted price, therefore some players will receive a free and not rightfully earned gift in crystals while others will not get anything. I think it's obvious how things will go...

This has been answered a thousand times before. No, if you bought it at discount time, you will get the exact amount back in 2.0. If you bought it at regular price you will get that specific amount back.

It's easy..they don't know...they just assume :mrgreen: For example, in a Highland map battle with a 200 kills restriction and with some decent high rank players in it, the gold box will always drop at the end, when the top players are starting to reach the kill limit, because in this kind of battle, the fund will almost always reach over 710-720. Some of the so blamed high rank players are just specialized in this kind of job. They just sit and watch those pretty long games from the lobby until they get a free spot or they just crawl through the servers in search of these kind of opportunities. However, I don't see the "legal" issues here. In the worst case scenario, it's only a moral issue..but come on...we're in a game, kill or be killed, you don't expect all the players to have too many thoughts about stealing the fund or not if there's an opportunity, do you? If it makes you any happy, I don't usually do this. I join battles and start from the bottom when there is already a big gap between me and the top players in matter of kills. It's harder that way and more fun. I don't use drugs unless others use and also, I don't hunt for gold boxes..if I get it, it's ok, if not, I don't care. There's some luck part involved in this process so why bother?:)

I think he's saying that there was no discount so far and he's asking why...or at least that's what I think he's asking..:)

Doesn't it seems a little awkward to you that we are the only ones who have an opinion about this? :mrgreen: I mean we are the only ones talking here :mrgreen: Hmm...it's starting to feel a little strange... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

1. I thought we are having a serious talk here :mrgreen: :mrgreen: 2. There was no offence intended in any part of my posts, if that was the case I apologize. 3. Nobody is listening to pulsed and continuous laser signals, I already wrote that. 4. Taxes and aliens? I thought it was death and taxes...hmm :shock: 5. Hijack satellites? Binary transmission??? :) The word "binary" refers only at the way data is encoded and not to the way it is transmitted. A transmission support for it must exist, therefore the radio waves or laser signals...quantum physics has not yet discovered a way to transfer matter to the other "end" of the Universe in real time, but hey..look on the bright side..we have Twitter and Facebook, two of the best crap things ever made :mrgreen: 6. Area 51 video&stuff? who ever believed that crap ?? Pics? DNA? Aren't those subdued to the same government influences that you previously incriminated? :) 7. I thought we are having a serious talk here :mrgreen: No offence intended in the lines above. I think we are going waaayy off the orbit here :mrgreen:

And also.... he edited that post. Before, he didn't say the "I think" at the start :wink: I saw Pin4er163 post also, but I saw it with the "I think.. " part and I don't remember if the post was edited or not... :mrgreen: If what skitee wrote above is true, the "edit" part being the key to the question, there's no doubt. :mrgreen: It's (or at least was) May the 9th. Enjoy ;)

Proof? Who said anything about proof? Please be kind and show me where I wrote that ;).. now for the "buy up the markets" part...what markets?? Those are files from the NSA archives and they were forced to reveal parts of it because of some civil lawsuits that took place back in the early 80's if I'm not mistaken so at least here we're not talking the same old rubbish here... as for the "radio transmissions are very primitive" part... do you know any other way that somebody/something could use to communicate with us trough space? You don't expect to receive an email or maybe a call, do you ? :) As far as we are concerned, that's what us humans (officially) got so far...radio communications. Pulsed and continuous laser signals in the optical, as well as infrared, spectrum could be an option also but nobody is listening to that so far.

NSA (US National Security Agency) had released to the public domain formerly classified UFO X-files, but which had never got media attention. One of the documents we are particularly interested in NSA Technical Journal Vol XIV No 1 with FOIA Case number 41472 which has been titled Key To The Extraterrestrial Messages. The document authored by a Dr. Campaigne, presented a series of 29 messages received from outer space in "Extraterrestrial Intelligence". The article is described as developing a key to understand these alien messages. The following is transcribed from Page 21, Appendix: Btw..the original document is on the on the National Security Agency website, at this address: http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/ufo/key_to_et_messages.pdf Interesting, isn't it? Just thought you might want to know ;) P.S. Here is the full documents list that the NSA released: http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/declass/ufo/index.shtml

But we are looking for them )) in a primitive way by making electromagnetic transmissions in space hoping that someone or something will pick up the signal...i remember there was a program called SETI i don't know if it's still on going...The most annoying thing about the "alien issue" is that there is so much crap on this matter in the world that we can't distinguish the truth from the junk anymore.

There must be something out there, I think it's almost like a mathematical fact. Our planet was the only planet that met the lucky cosmic events and requirements for life to evolve on it.. what are the odds for that? 1 to a billion of a billion of a billion and so on ??? Hard to believe...It took us millions and millions of years to evolve into what we are today (at least by the most popular theories) and in the meantime the rest of the Universe stood still waiting for us? Not plausible...

Let's say new bacteria does come,like eh a new life form could be getting made you think the government will discard it or let it form and keep it hidden Let's just say that there is a reason that some of the leaders of this world got grey hair after they took the leadership. :) That can't be faked sometimes. Also when they release an information for the great public we can easily speculate that they have much more hidden in the back yard. Nobody plays with all the cards on the table, usually. Btw, I'm not paranoid on this, it's obvious that some people have seen much more than others or at least they know more than the rest of us. I don't mean "aliens" but maybe some piece of amazing tech that the rest of us only dream about. I think that's very plausible.

A, lake Mono, I saw that too, actually I saw a documentary about it these days on National Geographic Europe Channel or Discovery Europe...I can't remember...but still it's just a theory. To solve this, we have a very long way to go. If we sit still and watch there's a slight possibility that nothing's going to happen:). Maybe we must find a way to travel in space for real, because until now we're only a joke in this matter. I mean let's face it, Voyager 1 is currently the farthest human-made object from Earth and it was launched in 1977. By 2020, the data returned and the spacecraft operations will cease and Earth will loose communications with it, because the probe will loose the available electrical power. We are not really space conquerors by doing this isn't it? :)

Well, I'm more of a tech guy but when it comes to this, logic and scientific facts sometimes does not make any sense. I'm feed up with weather balloons, rockets, meteorites, Area 51, Tunguska, particle reflections in upper atmosphere, satellite junk in orbit around Earth, optical illusions, fake vid's and pics, fake eye witnesses reports and all the crazy wakcos out there bla bla... Did you ever noticed how when something like this occurs some scientist or a group of scientists always (well..almost always) comes up with a perfectly rational explanation about it ? ) Trouble is, I find it hard to believe it sometimes. Of course, I'm not an expert nor a scientist, that might be so, but sometimes even a child can see the truth. Recently, some of the FBI files on UFO on were declassified. Interesting facts there. Basically, some agents were reporting UFO's in their internal notes. According to recent data sent by Kepler space telescope, there could be up to 500 millions planets out there that can support life, and that's only in our galaxy. The Universe is huge..well can I use the word "huge"? That's already a measure... Like others said, it's very hard to believe that life has evolved on Earth only, and by saying "life" I don't mean a "thing" with 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes... Ever notice the tendency that some have to think of aliens as having a striking resemblance to us humans? Some say it's the most efficient model... the result of millions of years of evolution...it might be so but in our case, "life" can be even a tiny little bacteria well hidden in the rocks of a forsaken planet that we have not discovered yet. We are carbon based, it's all over the place in our body. Why not think of "them" as something totally opposed to us? I'm not much of conspiracy theory myself, I like things explained from a tech/scientific point of view and I do believe that almost anything has an explanation. But sometimes, there are some things that can't be explained. Or maybe we don't know the explanation yet. The truth is out there, but the question will linger for many years, and the possible answers are only "Yes" and "No". Annoying, isn't it? How many of you would like to know which one is the good one for real ? :)
