My parents are both Indian, though I was born and live in the UK.

You've got your Hindu festivals slightly mixed up - Navratri (literally meaning the 'Nine Nights') has just started today, and will culminate with Dussehra (literally meaning the 'Tenth Day') on 22nd October. These festivals together symbolise and celebrate the victory of good over evil, of light over dark. Holi (the 'Festival of Colours'), however, is held in the spring - sometime in March. That's when those colourful pictures would've been taken, not at this time of year! Note that the dates for all Hindu festivals change each year, as the festivals are held according to the lunar calendar rather than the solar calendar (Gregorian) that we use on a daily basis.

Yes ok, big pro <3 Because 'why' is a question word, and so is a pretty logical word to use to open a question if you want to find out the reason or explanation for something, surely? :P I do have a choice, and I choose to be non-vegeterian. Although I did actually have an interesting discussion about it with a vegetarian professor of philosophy at the University College of London once, he was telling about the moral laws of utilitarianism and everything. Interesting stuff xD OK, I've just made all lags on Tanki disappear. From now on, only those who are stupid or incompetent will continue to notice lags.

Presumably, since I don't exactly have much of an emotional attachment to Dragon Ball characters...

You'll be missed, it's sad to see you go. Good luck!

Yes. Positive discrimination. everyon thinks im so pro pls

ooo what a coincidence so am i its guys like us that make the newspaper proud (wipes tear away emotionally) No.

^awww I was thinking about taking that post... congrats on ninja'ing me and stealing it xD An Earthling, although a slightly weird one at times :ph34r:

I'd probably say I'm best with Hornet/Isida, since it's always been a favourite of mine and I've had a lot of experience playing with it over the years. Was especially fun when I got both at M4 (fully-MUed M3 level) whilst I was just a Major General as a result of winning a contest, got crazy D/Ls of 100+ whilst playing M2s in the days and weeks afterwards xD But yeah, the combination is a lot more tactical to use on the battlefield than most people think! Well, I can't exactly remember since I was around before and when the feature was introduced so I just added a lot of my friends at the same time... I guess that if I were to answer a similar question, the player on my friends' list who I've known the longest is @eragon33. good good, how's them articles coming along?

You'll definitely be missed. Good luck with real life stuff!

Haha that's fortunate, no problem!

:unsure:

Allegedly the meme's based on a photo taken in 2010, and first became popular in 2013. much amaze. very excite. Decent ty, how about you? Neither IMO, because there wouldn't have really been any clearly defined point in the history of evolution at which chicken-ancestors would've suddenly become chickens :P This is essentially where I got the idea for the series from: as for it being The 'Dictator', idk ok - just sounded cool at the time xD Don't think I could add anything useful to T.O.T.A.L's answer, he did a great job of addressing this one. Thanks T.O.T.A.L! unfortunately I doubt it's possible to count; but since it's really gold-bearing veins rather than veins of pure gold that exist, I'll just conveniently dismiss your question and say the answer's 0. You're welcome :P Arya, and I live near Manchester, England. To be honest I'm not all that fussed about revealing such information, mainly because I doubt anyone would care enough to hunt me down just to stalk me xD Well, not sure what you meant about the 'seeing this new pass' part of your first question - but I'll try to answer as best I can, in any case. The future for TO, to me, doesn't seem all that clear. I'm hoping for the sake of the game that the move to Unity will work and that both the new version and the old Flash version will be even more successful than Tanki has been in the past, but it does have to be admitted that like many online games, Tanki's facing problems too. I'd hope the lag issues aren't here to stay; Semyon did talk about how the devs have been working on sorting those out over the past couple weeks, at least. In my view, Tanki actually never has been a 'cash grab company'. However, I can't say I support the introduction of Premium Accounts in their current form, especially due to stuff like the 20%-from-all protection paint meaning that buyers will now have actual advantages that non-buyers cannot obtain for the first time. I'm hoping that Tanki will take the feedback of its players into account, and tweak the feature where necessary to avoid going down that typical 'pay-to-win' route. I first became a Reporter back in April 2013 at the rank of WO5, just in time to put out some articles for Issue 11. I've since taken a break from writing for the team twice, meaning I've technically joined the team three times now xD Nah I'm just lazy. P.S. This is MY topic ok pho

But 1+1 does equal 10, in binary... hehe

Noob. I was gonna say I've done all that but then I read the last one...

does this count as a yes

Wait gimme a sec (dramatically drops down onto one knee) Pho, will you marry me? :wub: :wub: :wub:

Just to add to Pho's responses... It's a personal choice, really - depends what you'd find more fun, in the end. If you're getting bored on your main, then playing on an alt too is an option that many players choose to take and enjoy doing. However, if you still want to advance your main account onto higher ranks and better equipment, then it might be a good idea to focus on earning the crystals and experience for that. It looks like you should be at the fairly solid M3-level part of your career now, so it might be a decent idea to play on an alt just for fun. Because my body carries out all the necessary functions to allow me to do so? xD If you meant more what the one-sentence purpose of my life might be in my view, I'd say: to leave the world a better place than when I entered it. I'm not currently a moderator of any sort, I'm a Reporter for the Tanki newspaper - and yes, I do enjoy it. The most enjoyable aspect to me is working alongside other colleagues and getting to know them, whilst using my skills to contribute to the community and improving my own writing skills along the way.But really i just do it for the crystal pay for fun! You'll have to wait and see... let's just say I plant to work on a couple of articles that are part of old well-known series of the newspaper :P Pho's pun was terrible. Terrible. A crime against humour. I cried. On another note, potatoes are nice when they're cooked. Yeah, actually we probably could... onion juice would feasibly be able to act as an electrolyte due to its ion content. Or alternatively, we could biodegrade the plant material to release biogas, which could theoretically be used in the production of electricity. At least, I think. Yeah Pho's psychic ok, I have a confession to make. At an airport on the way to New York, I once chose to eat at Yo Sushi instead of the available chicken-based options. I didn't tell hogree. Hog, I'm so sorry.

Really good idea! Maybe you could add like a line or two to the billboard about the chosen 'famous person', such as a famous post they've made or something they're known for in the community?

I'm good thanks, how about you? Congrats on being first again :P On a scale of 0 to really sugary awesome fried dough confectionery, I'd say yes xD

~ BACK AND OPEN FOR BUSINESS ~ Ask Me Anything! A long period of time and quite a few exams later, I've decided to re-open this topic just for fun. Check out the main post from back when this was popular, hopefully this can encourage some fun and interesting discussion as it did in the past. Only this time, I have some help in the form of my glamorous assistant @Phoenix-Warbird. She'll be helping with the general management of this topic; stepping in for questions which just have factual or other generic answers, for example, and providing thoughts/comments in response to others on my behalf. Well, what are you waiting for - ask away!

1. Yes 2. No 3. No 4. No 5. No 6. Yes 7. No 8. No 9. Yes 10. No

I never said otherwise - I was merely pointing out you just saying this topic is 'useless' three time over is both negative and unjustified. Maybe the forum isn't currently filled with the most useful topics in the world, but criticising without being constructive is even less helpful. "Tanki, in itself, serves no purpose, it's something people do to pass time" My point was that there was no contradiction in this statement Laser made, regardless of whether it's true or not. People can use Tanki to pass time without 'passing time' necessarily being a purpose of Tanki. Again, not sure why you said otherwise - it does seem you've been negative for the sake of being negative recently. It's a shame...

A topic here isn't useless if it provides a basis for discussion - after all, it is Off-Topic Discussion. If a topic meets that criteria, sure you can justifiably say you don't find it very interesting, but it's useful - or at least, it can't be claimed that it's definitely useless. Laser's statement about Tanki's purpose wasn't contradictory, since it's quite possible to use something in a way other than its purpose or non-purpose would suggest you should. There's no need to be negative for the sake of being negative, Kev...
