I'll edit the article to change that if you agree, Bigtimerush_bry?

Nope... it's just 's alt, he set it to our Reporter forum group when setting up our permissions in the new Amateur Writing section to check them xD

Oh snap, beaten to it by a couple minutes... although, I'll answer this one myself then and say no (although I might have broken my toe once idk for sure), and then now we can go to... Sorry for the confusion, I took too long over that post xD

Ooh right, that mustn't have been so nice if it wasn't smoked, actually. And wow, that's... yeah, definitely somewhat embarassing xD My first date, uh, well I'll be absolutely truthful here and talk about my very first 'date' in primary school then. So I was with this popular girl in the year above and this other guy who wanted to go out with her, and she asked me out in his presence... I didn't even really understand the boyfriend/girlfriend thing, I was like 10 years old. So we walked around for a bit and that was our romantic first date ok. Our subsequent 'dates' would involve secretly meeting and talking for like half a minute max. before my younger self got bored. And then the other guy offered me this rare trading card if I broke up with her and it looked all shiny so I took it. She wasn't too happy. My current crush is another matter :blush: hhhhh Uhm... truth: if you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Pffft, I think high-quality salmon sushi tastes awesome! Uh... ooh, it's got to be chicken brain. I had it in China. Kinda... weird taste... Truth: what's the most embarassing moment you've had?

Haha yeah, that's the idea at least - we want this to grow into a dedicated section for community writers and readers to encourage collaboration and positivity, where articles are appreciated rather than ignored!

Title edited upon request.

shhhhh silence yourself, feline

yes waw, you know nothing go to school instead of sitting around at home all day !!!

There are a lot of Asian cuisine restaurants in many Western countries - you need to go abroad more :P Hm yeah, they probably aren't... Well, good luck finding and trying those foods in the future, I guess xD And I have, haha, thought it depends what you're referring to in particular!

Writers' Corner (Guidelines) - Articles should be at least 400 words in length. Shorter articles may be approved at our discretion as long as the short length is justified by the article type and content e.g. short stories, poems etc. - Articles must be in understandable English. This doesn't mean the grammar has to be perfect - only that the article is readable. However, if the grammar is bad enough to impede normal reading, the article won't be approved. - Do not plagiarize any content! Topics posted with content that has been copied by the user with the obvious intention of making it appear as their own work will not be approved! This includes content from the TO Forum and anywhere else. - Article should be original. Articles shouldn't be dull and obvious. If you're writing a guide on a specific hull, don't simply copy and paste its stats from the wiki and add a paragraph of well-known facts. That isn't what we're looking for. Be original! We recommend that you work on your article in a separate text document or using the forum's private PM feature. Here are some tips on how to write up a good article before you click the post button: - Format the article properly. Make use of a suitable and relevant topic title, and use paragraphs properly to make sure your text is structured so that it's easy for other people to read! Don't use an unsuitable topic title, cursive fonts or overly bright colours or we will change it. - Make use of images. Most good articles have illustrations or visuals of some sort. There doesn't have to be too many. One or two will often do the trick and be better than just having a big text wall. - Proofread and edit your work. Self-editing is always a good idea, so that you can make sure you've avoided grammar errors as well as going back and perfecting the general structure and content of the article once it's finished. WARNING: Excessive, non-constructive posting by the author in an attempt to keep their article on the top page is not permitted.

Thanks, gotta admit I am a bit of a foodie haha. I've eaten the ones in white previously... - Had passionfruit once or twice before, whilst it sounds kinda cool it doesn't taste as good as it sounds - it tastes alright, but has all these seeds in it and can be pretty sour! - Tacos are awesome, best one I've had was when I visited New York for 4 days, not the healthiest ever in terms of fat content but it's really good awesome-tasting comfort food (like a lot of Mexican cuisine! I'm personally a bigger fan of the similar dish enchiladas, not too difficult to make either dish though), - I eat grapefuit pretty regularly, can be sour but it's great eaten in halves with the actual fruit cut out using a knife and a decent amount of sugar sprinkled on top, - Blueberries also don't always taste that good, some can be quite sour, but if you get hold of some high quality ones they can have a really good sweet taste - although, I would marginally prefer cranberries (which we grow in my back garden along with raspberries and blackberries) 'cause they look more awesome and have a sharper flavour xD It can be spicy sometimes (more so in India), but often in Indian restaurants in the West it's prepared so that it's not spicy on purpose - and actually, I personally find that butter chicken with a creamy tomato sauce tastes much nicer than the spicy variety. Just leave the chilli out (or use it very sparingly), and it tastes awesome without having to burn your mouth out in the process. Although yeah, it's generally good to check how spicy the food you're ordering is at an Indian restaurant, 'cause each one does stuff differently. But my experience of butter chicken made at restaurants over here is that it's generally not that spicy at all.

We tried to release it before, but there are some technical problems we're having with the forum settings that we're currently trying to sort out now. Will be up and running ASAP!

Ahh right I see, well there are generally some top Indian restaurants in many big cities around the world, I'm aware Canada has a fairly large Asian scene. Cooking it yourself should also be a possibility, some dishes can actually be quite easy to prepare, there's a range of complexity when it comes to Indian food really. Good luck with that, you're welcome!

Mhm yeah, a lot of people get that impression to be fair, and some more famous Indian foods are spicy - but a lot of them aren't! Butter chicken in particular would be a great choice, try ordering that with some naan bread, it shouldn't be spicy and really does taste very flavoursome. One of my favourite dishes, good place to start! You could also ask any friends who've been to local Indian restaurants what their favourite (non-spicy) dishes there are, Indian cuisine is huge and varies from restaurant to restaurant because each region of the sub-continent has its own specialities. As for Palak Paneer, I would personally recommend trying that once you've tried the typical favourites - it has a rather particular taste, some may not like it at all. Might be best to start with the conventional stuff such as butter chicken, yeah. I would also personally recommend trying a 'Dosa' (large Southern Indian flatbread), usually served with various chutnies in quite a few Indian restaurants; if offered you should inform them of your desire to avoid overly spicy food too since it's often served with a spicy stew (that I tend not to eat), just in case!

It's a surprise, everyone loves surprises k [insert statement blaming colleagues here]

LOL, the foodstuffs you placed that alongside though... A lot of Indian food isn't spicy - it's just the spicier foods that tend to be seen as the stereotype. Whilst being British, I eat Indian food on a daily basis thanks to my cultural background, but I eat spicy Indian food more like once a month. Either way, you're really missing out on a cuisine with quite vibrant flavours k, it's popular for a reason. also wait, aren't you meant to have left... again? This is reaaally worth a try. I had the dish when I visited China as part of a student exchange, they had like metal pots inlaid into the tables at the restaurant I went to and you put foods (vegetables, meats, dumplings etc.) into the stock to cook them as you eat... tastes pretty awesome, actually!

Suggestion has been noted 'cause we're pro like that B)

To all those who were expecting a newspaper issue yesterday, it turns out that we unfortunately don't have the content to publish this time round thanks to various real-life commitments (so the next issue will be in just under two weeks from now, sorry guys!). It's a rare occasion since we've been publishing consistently for the past however many issues... but we've been busy taking the opportunity to make it up for you by working on the details of another (positive) rare occasion. Thus, a fairly significant new project may or may not be released today :ph34r: Please stop - we've already told you that you've been rejected multiple times.

Sure, but Railgun M3 (a very effective weapon) can't be bought at the unlock rank and Prodigi (a very effective paint) definitely can't. The kit remains unlocked for later ranks, true, but its effectiveness is really measured against the earliest rank at which it unlocks. Of course, people can have differing opinions on the matter. However, that doesn't mean that the opinion that the discount is fair is no more supported than the opinion that it's unfair, as I demonstrated above. Get over your emotions. The facts and figures indicate that the discount is, at the very least, reasonable.

No. It's a really effective kit to get at an early rank, the huge advantage from the kit is not only in normal battles but also in XP. Hence, it's fair to have a lower discount for it in my eyes - since players who can afford to get it already get a huge advantage from the kit itself anyways. That's the point... If 35% was so pathetic, it wouldn't have the level of demand that it does. The fact that with one of the lowest discounts of all kits it's still one of the most highly demanded (and I would assume one of the most highly purchased) seems to indicate that to shift demand to similar levels as that for other kits, an even lower discount would be suitable (basic microeconomics). The current discount is thus more than proportionate to the benefit gained from the kit, and hence it still remains popular thanks to a proportionately generous discount. If I were you, I wouldn't complain - be happy that you have such a kit available early at the discount that it is. As for there being a low discount for both Rail M3 kits, it seems to be coincidence in that both unlock high-powered equipment earlier than other kits do, which explains their high demand and lower discounts. I've bought Nomad myself - Hunter M3 and Raccoon are very effective pieces of equipment, and I would assume it's thanks to Hunter M3 (and thus the higher demand for the kit resulting from greater advantage the kit gives) that the discount for Nomad is also lower. Again, you'll find Tanki are being pretty fair, if not more than fair. These more powerful kits (esp. for the ranks at which they unlock) having lower discounts is a good thing for the game, it means they aren't demanded too much relative to other kits/equipment. If the discounts were higher, we might be seeing too many of these high-powered kits in the game, potentially unbalancing gameplay. I would think the developers take these sorts of factors into account when deciding the sizes of kit discounts.

The usernames are freed up again in 10 days for all those Recruit accounts I don't log in to - by which time, I'll have picked only those which I plan to use as alt accounts and/or for potential name changes. All the rest will (obviously) be freed up. Don't jump to conclusions. I don't encourage or promote 'reserving' usernames in a selfish way at all, it's up to players as to what their intentions are.
