I thought I'd just say hello. HichigoShiro must be a real pro. :blink:

Did you put your I.D. card there on purpose? Nice drawing btw.

There was no need to revive this.

Twitter is annoying with all that #hashing. Facebook all the way!

There was no need to grave dig such an old topic, but oh well, at least it's mine :)

Happy Birthday! Thanks for making this forum a better place!

An awesome feature that I have made use of before... Remember, I used to use Thunder too, but I switched to Railgun for reasons that will later be revealed. Anyway, it is sometimes quite hard to find a surface to self-destruct upon...but when you do, the Freeze is quite annoyed.

More often than not, freeze sneaks up from behind. There is no beating it then.

I have Cedar and I really like it. I guess it depends on what weapons annoy you the most. If Thunders kill you a lot, Cedar is a good choice. If not, then go for Tundra.

Sorry man, my finger is just so used to hitting the M...

So you add HichigoShiro and he instantly has 14 votes :ph34r:

I played with you once on the New Years map. hggb was winning the battle and he only had M2 weapons.
-
Surely skitee deserves at least one vote? Or have you guys forgotten him this quickly?

I'm glad you are trying to think of ideas, but I don't really agree with this one. As monkeybum said, I don't think it would be good for battles. Note: If you want to make spaces between your text like this, just use the ENTER key twice, and it will be the equivalent of one space.

Other [Issue 11] Ugliness in Tanki
jokjinari replied to jokjinari in [Issue 11] Ugliness in Tanki Newspaper Archive
Perhaps you remember the articles that Lhamster and hogree wrote on the beauty that they see in Tanki. They had very good opinions, but they left out one thing: although there may be beauty in places, ugliness can be found anywhere. That is why I have decided to write an article about what I think are some of the uglier parts of Tanki that don't always get the fair representation they deserve. First off, let me give you a definition of ugly, so that you can see the criteria upon which my conclusions are based: adjective ug·ly \ˈə-glē\ 1 : frightful, dire 2 a : offensive to the sight : hideous b : offensive or unpleasant to any sense 3 : morally offensive or objectionable <corruption—the ugliest stain of all> 4 a : likely to cause inconvenience or discomfort <the ugly truth> b : surly, quarrelsome <an ugly disposition> Let's begin with the ugliest weapons: 3. Smoky. Now smoky may not be terribly ugly, but it certainly does not possess any beauty. In my opinion it is a nondescript sort of gun, small and stubby, with a barrel projecting from a rectangular base--unworthy of much attention. People see it, yet it is never really noticed. The M2 and M3 upgrades of smoky give it more details and add a protruding wedge on the top. This makes me think of a Mohawk, which only detracts from its overall appearance, and which is why I added it to this list. 2. Twins. I think that Twins fits the definition for ugliness perfectly. Not only is it hideous and offensive to the sight, it is also likely to cause inconvenience or discomfort. This weapon reminds me of certain people that I know--both hideous and bothersome. Twins consists of a flat, squarish base with double barrels sticking out. A very simple weapon, really. It becomes a bit more rounded and sleek as you upgrade it, but not drastically enough to give it any beauty. I find it very unfortunate that such an unappealing gun has to be so powerful. 1. Thunder. Thunder is a strong weapon as well; I even used to play with it, but the ugliness became too much for me so I switched to Railgun. I actually think that the ugliness is too much for a lot of people, which explains all the protective Thunder paints we can see on the battlefield. As to looks, Thunder is a flat kind of gun and it almost reminds me of an upside down spatula. Really? Who would want to flip eggs on their tank? This Spatula (a nickname that I hope will catch on) is by far the ugliest gun. I think that the developers must have realized this, so they gave it splash damage, an amazing feature, hoping that it would become more attractive. I am one of the few who sees through their ploy. Now, the ugliest hulls: 3. Dictator. This hull is not only ugly but awkward to use. I'm surprised that anybody even buys it, and even more surprised that hogree and Lhamster gave it good reviews. All I can say about Dictator is that it looks like a boot, and seriously? Driving a boot around on the battlefield is not cool. 2. Viking. Viking's most prominent feature is its flatness. This, although useful in battles, makes Viking look like a flat little dwarf. Another thing that makes Viking ugly for me is how commonly seen it is, at least in the lower ranked battles. After a while, my eyes have become tired of seeing it. I don't know why it is so popular, but 'Fitting in' isn't my sort of thing, so I decided not even to buy it. 1. Titan. I'm sure you agree with me on this point. I can't imagine anyone liking the way Titan looks. What's even worse is that whatever weapon you equip, no matter how good looking, Titan makes it look bad. It is a tank that doesn't go with anything. At least before the rebalance, Titan was all but nonexistent in high ranking battles. Now, even Generalissimos use it, a fact that pains me. And finally, our ugliest paints: 3. Safari. This is a very common paint for low ranks because it has good protection from Isida. That's the only reason that people buy it though, because it is uuuugly! As its name would suggest, this paint gives your tank the appearance of a zebra. Now actual zebras do look amazing, but a zebra tank? Come on! For me, this design is just too repetitive and boring--black and white stripes all over. It hurts my eyes. 2. Needle. Needle is a greenish type of paint that is made up of a grass-like texture. In my brain, this just doesn't compute. Why would anybody want to paint their tank like grass? Maybe for camouflage, but there are plenty of other paints that can do that. The only good aspect of Needle is its huge protection from Smoky, but in my eyes, that doesn't make it any more attractive. In fact, I think that Needle is even more offensive to look at than Safari. 1. Prodigi. It pains me to write this, but Prodigi is definitely the ugliest paint that can be bought. It is grayish in color, with a design a bit like Digital. I can't stand it. If not for the looks Prodigi would have been my dream paint--46% protection from Railgun. I was very disappointed and even a bit sad to see that such an ugly paint had the exact protection that I always dreamed of. Conclusion: There you have it. Although you may disagree, those were my opinions on the ugliest things in Tanki. What's funny to me is that you don't often see any terribly ugly combinations on the battlefield, which leads me to believe that tankers actually do care about their looks--just like in real life. So keep up your beauty tankers! Appearances are always important, at times even more so than the actual abilities or features of your tank. ~jokjinari~
