    Old thunder is better

    I actually haven't seen a Thunder player in ages... I've got M3 myself, but I stopped using it quite a while ago.
  2. I always scroll through these sorts of topics without ever posting in them myself, so I might as well break that habit... This community consists of some really diverse and interesting people, and that's basically the main reason I'm still here... As a result, there are a couple of people I've met here who I definitely wouldn't break contact with whether they leave or stay, and who I'd like to meet in real life at some point in the future. Then there's a handful of other very good Tanki friends who I'd probably keep in touch with beyond Tanki, too (and in some cases where such friends have left the game I already do). I've played a fair few online games in the past and no other has had such an impact - the players of this game is what's made it so involving for me.

    TIGER_BOY_2014 Interview site

    The interviews themselves aren't bad (largely thanks to the people you've interviewed), but if you proofread your topic and corrected all the grammar mistakes this would be much better...

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Finally got Prometheus... Needed 7.5k crystals at the start of today; thanks to the CLAW nugs, Fen and DS for their help (actually, not Fen since he somehow managed to photobomb the screen below, pffft): ​ ​ The journey:

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Caught this one yesterday... Was camping behind the house in the enemy base and shooting the two opponents that were in the battle before the teams were full, mainly 'cause I was bored and had to go in a few minutes anyway. Then the gold notification appeared, and a well-timed jump led to the below. Oh, and my FPS/ping are particularly good in this pic too xD
  6. If you're not a sore loser, why have you been acting like one? I really did expect a little more maturity from someone like you... Anyway, this discussion is kinda counterproductive now - the results are the results, they won't be changed. Any reasonable feedback has been taken into account for the future.
  7. You didn't read all I said - your post isn't really a response to my own... I started by pointing out that you made an unfounded implication about his job status which was actually rude and arrogant in itself, making you a hypocrite since you would claim his own post was rude and arrogant - you haven't responded to that. It was completely unnecessary to take such a jab at his job status, and at the very least means you are now 'no better' than Mr. Chrysalis himself. I didn't say I wholly agreed with his post, I said he had a point in terms of some aspects of what he was saying, but that he clearly did make such a point in a harsh manner. Therefore, I'm not sure why you're now claiming I agree with his post overall, since I never said that. In answer to your questions: no, and nope, but I'm not sure why you're asking me based on what I've just cleared up. What I was trying to convey was that the point behind Mr. Chrysalis' post seems founded, disregarding the way in which it was conveyed. I could now make a jab at you for apparently misreading my post in your response to it, but I won't because I don't feel it would give out the best image for the staff, and I might as well err towards being respectful and courteous. However, let's say I now did have a blunt opinion of your reading skills - as long as I weren't to be downright insulting, I am perfectly entitled to voice that opinion without being silenced by my staff avatar or having my job status threatened. Again, in doing so I wouldn't be the nicest or happiest advocate for the staff you'll ever come across, and it's likely quite a few wouldn't agree with the way I would speak, but it's up to the players reading to contact my admin if they feel I crossed the line. Responding with a post containing direct or indirect threats about my job status would not be the way to go.
  8. What gives you the authority to make that implication without it being completely unfounded? Nothing. I thought not. Just to make it clear to all those jumping up and down in excitement at the thought of 'reporting a staff member', as far as I'm aware, precisely nothing will come of Mr. Chrysalis' post. Sure the post is a bluntly honest expression of his opinion rather than a sugar-coated one, but his post doesn't break any rules. And he has a point, even if he was harsh when expressing it - there has definitely been at least one sore loser here, as always. It looks to me as though his post were directed at said sore loser(s) rather than those simply giving their opinions of the results, which is perfectly acceptable as a form of feedback...

    Awesome! Time to no-life on Tanki today...

    Get Windows 10 Today! NOW!

    For me, Windows 10 has been pretty great so far... Liking the new Start menu, and Microsoft Edge runs Tanki at a significantly higher FPS than standalone Flash player or other browsers I've tried, at least on my laptop. Now I can finally return to my lag-free days!

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Literally ran across half the map from our own base as soon as this started falling with a nitro, jumped down into their base, double-killed two of them at the very last second and pushed my way on top to take a gold... ...and then 5 minutes later, another notification appears so I camp a nitro drop spot in our base, and use the trusty run-across-half-the-map tactic again: Epic catches though, those nitros really helped since I had no idea where either of the golds were falling. This is one of those occasions where I really should've recorded my catches... I normally mess up way before I even get close xD

    Crush Alert!

    Well, that was hardly insulting at all... It didn't merit your pretty insulting response, in any case. You're welcome! Nope, calling you immature is not 'name-calling'. It's merely stating my opinion on how I think you're acting right now... As above. Mhmm.

    Crush Alert!

    Fine if you don't think her topic here is really appropriate for this forum - it's already been said in a more polite way, and no one's making you post here. That doesn't, however, suddenly give you the right to start name-calling and insulting... I think it's clear who the real immature person is here. GL getting a girlfriend with that sort of attitude towards others.
  14. Yep, it's been a while! Throw me a PM if you ever want to chat, I just tend to be way too busy to play the game much nowadays >.<

    Crush Alert!

    Well, you'd have to overcome your fear of talking to him... That would also be a decent way to find out whether your 'crush' has any proper basis in terms of liking him for who he is, or whether you just have a crush on him because of what you perceive him to be like, which is the case at the moment. The more time you take agonising over it whilst you don't act, the more your imagination will over-hype your feelings beyond reason. Get advice from friends, come up with some way in which to open conversation with him if you really want to do so, and get to know him as a person first - perceptions are often inaccurate.

    [Interview] DarkOperative

    Excellent interview... Top-quality stuff. Really enjoyed reading it!
  18. It's not impossible - the super obvious way is plants 'converting' it back on an extremely large scale via photosynthesis, and there are also recent high-energy methods which can be used to break CO2 down into carbon and oxygen... And that converts oxygen into CO2? Yea-no. To address the discussion topic, respiration is a good method which practically all living organisms do... We breathe in oxygen, and we breathe out carbon dioxide. Maybe, just maybe, this highly complex process involving breathing in and out was likely what the OP was referring to? You breathe in and out, you bunch of blissfully unaware people. I'm glad you guys don't need to know how breathing works in order to carry it out... (EDIT) Just realised pho told me this is my 5000th post, cool.
