I have no idea - considering your apparent nationality, there's a chance he might be a Bollywood actor, but I don't know much more than that ^_^

Sales did appear last year at regular times - they possibly weren't as frequent simply because there was less of a focus on them, and I agree that double funds are much more frequent now. This can only be a good thing! There may be more EN-community based tournaments in the near future, but it won't be 'Lucky 7' or anything like that. You get free crystals in your Daily Bonus sometimes, other than that crystals always have to be earned. And no, not quite :P No. There is no easy way. One does not simply have sweg. One must earn sweg. Now go earn some sweg. Not particularly - I don't really get bothered about them at all. Upvotes and downvotes are not the end of the world, to me :P Apparently, it was a player known as Jackie Robinson. He became the first African American to play in major league baseball in modern times. He advocated nonviolence and was a particularly talented player, which ultimately helped the cause of the Civil Rights Movement. I'm pretty sure that the battle fund only increases every time a player is destroyed. Therefore, as Isida healing someone doesn't count as 'destroying' a player, the battle fund does not increase (much like just damaging a player would have no effect on the fund). Having seen pictures of it (though not having been fortunate enough to witness it for myself just yet), I do have to admit that it's an interesting design, and not necessarily something that everyone is going to appreciate. However, I do think that the changes to the appearance of supplies and drop boxes have worked well overall. I have all weapons at M2 or above, and I purchased and used both of these weapons frequently as soon as they unlocked. Therefore, from experience, I would say that Railgun is the more powerful weapon at M2 - Isida becomes more effective at M3, yet doesn't deal an awful lot of damage at M2 (especially when compared with Rail). Therefore, I'd say it's worth getting Rail over Isida at this particular modification. You need to download some recording software to do that. The free version of Bandicam is a good choice, though it does have a watermark which may only be removed through purchasing the full product. No, sorry - I already have one :P It seems he is a fairly successful Youtuber who is a musician, and more specifically, a trombonist. Hence why he's your hero. Source: I used Bing, and the first link was to his Youtube channel xD

I found yours the most interesting so far, actually - so there's your comment :P
-
I doubt you sounded too bad :P I think lives in Serbia, and she is indeed human - I can vouch for that, lol. As for , I'm pretty sure he was born in Pakistan and lives there, too. Anyone reading this can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - I've simply made these assumptions based on various facts I know about these two individuals ^_^

Unfortunately, me wishing you good looks wouldn't really have much of an effect - though I'm sure you'll look perfectly fine anyway. I can, however, wish you good luck - so good luck, and have fun :P It hasn't, nope. Personally, I feel neutral about the update overall. I like the graphics changes, and I do think the added skill required when using drugs is good in some ways; but I do wish they'd kept a full-drugs mode or something, because I've got to admit that was a lot of fun... Still, I'm more glad that they did the update than not glad, purely because I can see the developers are trying to go in the right direction here.

Looks like it probably is, though I'm not really concerned about that since it's been pretty successful anyway ^_^ Lol, amusing question... Just be yourself (i.e. genuine, don't try to act cool or anything), and you'll find someone, if that's what you're after. There's no point 'looking' for one. There's no very fast way of earning that many crystals - try playing Wasp/Fire battles regularly with a friend, and take the crystal drops/golds/funds. You can also try to 'takeover' battles with supplies, and steal the fund in that way. Smoky M2 is very good, yes - it's quite a powerful weapon at the later modifications, in my opinion. It does take some skill and practice to get used to, however, and it's not such a common weapon - not every player likes using it, many don't. So make sure you practice with it first, maybe on the test server when there is open testing going on.

Big trolling legend right here...

Very good interview - well done, an interesting read ^_^
-
If you want some feedback, I'd say that the video you provided has decent examples of gameplay, but that you used too many effects. Constantly blurring the screen, changing its colour scheme or having lots of flashes doesn't make your video better - most of the time, a minimalist use of such effects will have a much better impact on the quality of the video. But good luck with your future videos, nice work so far! :P
-
^You're welcome! Potentially... at the moment, I am happy with the staff jobs I already undertake, though it might be interesting to contribute to the community in other ways in the future ^_^

Halloween is held on 31st October in Tanki, just like in the real world. It was last celebrated last year, so on 31st October 2013... Got to say that your questions were amusing, lol. Has to be Einstein vs Stephen Hawking - and my favourite part of the rap battle would be when Mr. Hawking says: Classic... Ask whenever you find the right occasion in which to do so - Tuesday might be a good time, then :P

Well, I sympathise with your position on that issue. You can take a few pictures if you like, but don't immediately use the pictures as 'evidence' when approaching a teacher/cook - first, describe the issues, and see if they say they're going to deal with them. Only if they doubt what you're saying should you go on to show them pictures. You're perfectly entitled to complain, you shouldn't have anything to lose and if it helps to improve the food standards and hygiene in your school, it would only be a good thing! So go ahead and complain - but try to phrase your complaints in a positive, constructive way where possible, as this would have more of an impact. I wouldn't say there's any particular time... The general advice would be to not leave it till the last minute. You might as well ask someone over the next few days (or at the start of October) so you have some time, especially if the person says 'no' and so you'd be able to ask someone else. And asking in a genuine way wouldn't really fail; there's nothing particularly embarrassing about the procedure, there's no need to try and act cool or anything. Just go ahead and do it - though a few compliments wouldn't hurt either, I guess (e.g. explaining why you want to ask that particular person would be a good time to throw some compliments in) :P

Potentially, if you send me a friend request :P Your question was already answered above. My name is probably somewhere in this topic, I'm 15, and I continue to play this game because the game itself is fun, we have a pretty great community, and there are numerous ways of helping the project too... in a nutshell ^_^ Well, there was no first Generalissimo - as quite a few players instantly became Generalissimos as soon as the rank was introduced, as they already had 1.4 million XP. Initially, the highest rank was Marshal - and the first player to reach that rank was . Currently, no-one has the #1 rating in Tanki - since ratings were recently removed from the game, thus making this question much easier to answer xD Your questions about the Generalissimos would only be able to be accurately answered by the developers, who may have access to the relevant databases. There is no one 'most common combo' in Tanki, though I think it's general consensus that many common combinations consist of Hornet, used with a variety of weapons. Again, it is possible that only the developers might know the statistics which would enable them to calculate such an average - though I'd estimate it'd be somewhere around 1.5 years for consistently active players. Done. Alright, so you pick 6 numbers. Assuming that the same number cannot be picked twice, these 6 numbers could theoretically be drawn in any order, so 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 = 720, the number of orders in which the correct 6 numbers could be drawn. Also, as this is an example of conditional probability, the first time a number is picked, the probability of it being correct would be 1/42. But the second time, the probability would be 1/41 (as one number has already been picked), and so on. Therefore, to determine the number of ways in which numbers can be chosen, you would do 42 x 41 x 40 x 39 x 38 x 37 = 3,776,965,920 different number combinations in any order. To get the probability of winning the jackpot, you'd therefore just do 720/3,776,965,920 = 1/5,245,786 is your overall chance of winning the jackpot.

If I get the time, I'll make an entry today k. Was going to do it on Monday but got distracted :P
-
Force = mass x acceleration, force / mass = acceleration. -8000N (negative force of friction) / 1000kg = -8 m/s^2 (the acceleration of the car once the brakes are applied, can also be described as a deceleration of 8 m/s^2). Initial velocity = 20 m/s and final velocity (when the car stops) would be 0 m/s, acceleration = ((final velocity)^2 - (initial velocity)^2) / 2 x distance travelled, so 2 x distance travelled = ((final velocity)^2 - (initial velocity)^2) / acceleration. 2 x distance travelled = ((0 m/s)^2 - (20 m/s)^2) / -8 m/s^2, so 2 x distance travelled = -400 / -8 = 50m. Distance travelled when braking = 50m / 2 = 25m. But there is also the reaction time of 0.6s to take into account... The car will travel (0.6 x 20 m/s =) 12m in that time, meaning the driver only starts braking when the child is 28m away. 12m (reaction time) + 25m (braking time) = 37m (overall time for car to stop). Yes, the car will just be able to stop in time to avoid hitting the child, as it would take 37m to stop, and the child is 40m away.

^Please refrain from answering the questions here, especially since you've done so without first asking whether I would be fine with that. Thank you. How to Create a Parkour Club. Yes, I do - particularly from the Guess the User forum game I used to run, where I used your username as one of the solutions to a clue :P Brandon definitely knows, I don't - Fen set that as a challenge for me to discover some time ago, lel, and I've yet to take it up in earnest. I guess it depends whether you'd be annoyed about a guy called Heather claiming his name is masculine, y'know... I guess it might take the average person about 3 months maximum to reach Colonel from your rank. But that question's more suited to this topic - predictions are his area of expertise, not mine ^_^ It's always a possibility - though yes, it's sad to have learnt of his recent departure, considering all he has done for the staff. He has our respect to take away with him as a reminder, I am sure. He has become a candidate forum moderator (as MM2 clarified); yes, it is a surprise to me, though not necessarily a bad one. Hopefully he can reach the high standards that our experienced moderation team have set! I'm sure that if you stick with the game until that point, then yes, you'll eventually reach the top rank. M3 ranks are quite a long way off for you - it's good to see you're already reflecting on saving, but you should also build up a nice M2 garage to get you to that stage in the meantime. A kit (such as the excellent Medium M2 one) is a very good idea at your stage, especially since they will not stay as they are for much longer. Nah, I already caught onto xD ages ago and I'm not going to change now... Even now, if auto-correct types XD at any point for me, I change it to xD. Yes, the eyes do look a bit demented, but I think the whole point is that the emoticon is meant to signify amusement on a slightly crazy scale anyway - and I've got too used to typing it like that :P Personally, Titan is the hull I'd be least likely to use, ever. Though it was literally my first ever hull (Twins/Titan, over 3 years ago and so waaay back before the game got rebalanced) and I enjoyed its extra health then, nowadays I'd pick Mammoth if I wanted to use a heavy hull (which I have at M1, our of choice). To be honest, however, I vastly prefer lighter hulls as I personally think they lead to more dynamic and more skilled gameplay; so even Mammoth M1 is sitting in my Garage and rusting away. Therefore, Titan makes little sense to a player like me - I don't appreciate the heavy hulls much anyway, but when I do use one, why would I use Titan over Mammoth and lose that extra health? After all, they're both slow to a light hull user such as myself... About applying to become a chat moderator, these links will help you: - Rules of Completing a Form (a general topic on becoming staff). Rules of filling out the chat moderator form (make sure you post your application in the Chat moderators section). Hmm, I genuinely don't think I've splashed out on anything expensive using my own money. Alright, so two valuable items I have are my phone and my laptop - both, however, were purchased as gifts by my parents. In any case, if you define my 'own' money as money I've earnt, then that wouldn't really be much for most minors - after all, 'pocket money' is basically your parents' money gifted to you. Visit the forum, decidedly, though I do not frequently do either much at the moment, due to a high workload from school and so on. Nope - tall and lanky, I think some of us know that you're a veritable giant though m8. Big scary pls :c I'd give it between 6 and 10 months, most likely the latter end as I won't play much before exams. I was actually ranking at a decent rate recently too, but school's destroyed any more potential progress for now >.< @trombone_ftw? Like your username, BTW :P
-
And do try to remember that none of the players involved in this topic have any influence over the application process, guys...

So this topic started with good work and a god-given gift in the first post, and then went on to say you'd use that to thieve and act pretty selfishly in the second post. If you're truly such a good person as to deserve a god-given gift, then I'm pretty sure le master of all creation would expect you to use it in a good way. Maybe going to as many potential disaster sites as possible and averting tragedy (such as by pushing a person out from the path of an oncoming vehicle) would be more befitting of such a gift? As a non-believer myself, your hypocrisy astounds me... Anyway, good luck getting that 'gift'!
-
^Agreed.

Normally, I respond in a polite but frank way, though it really depends on the situation. Sometimes, if things are taken too far, I report such occurrences. However, one thing I don't do is to sink down to their level and trade an insult for an insult etc. At just over 10,000 crystals with a 70% discount, Twins M1 would definitely be a bargain... I'd personally say you can get it as it's so cheap, but only if you plan on using it/upgrading it in the future, otherwise there's not much point. Keep in mind that you'll want to buy some M2s upon hitting the Lieutenant ranks (especially Hornet M2 at Second Lieut), too! But my final verdict, as mentioned before, is get it if you're going to use it, as 10k crystals isn't an awful lot. Yes, I've read it in the past - from what I can remember, it is definitely worth reading. It's an interesting series, and the action is generally well-paced; have a read yourself :P Only get Twins M1 if you're sure that you'll upgrade it to M2 or above in the future. This is because compared to your current M2 weapons, Twins M1 is very weak, especially at your rank. So, I'd say get it if you want to upgrade it to a higher modification later; because, for now, Twins M1 would be useless for you (especially against Rico M2), so only get it for the future.

There was nothing contradictory between what I said and what Mia said - when I said "I think that they didn't just give Spectator to anyone with a good YouTube account", it was a general statement, not necessarily referring to yourself. Good to know you have a life, but I'm pretty sure those who dealt with the applications would have wanted to have seen good evidence of your abilities. You say that you don't do these things because you're busy; then really, you shouldn't have applied for such a privilege. It is for those players who are prepared to put some time into proving they deserve it, and who are prepared to put some time into helping the community when they actually get the privilege. It is not for those who simply want to use such a privilege to test out their high-quality editing software or because they just "want another reason to stay in this game", put it that way. If you apply next time, make sure you provide some good evidence of your creative skills. Try linking to high-quality, well-edited videos or an extensive Creativity topic which demonstrates your skills. Unfortunately, saying that you "will edit if you need to" isn't going to get you Spectator - rather, you need to edit first so you can prove you deserve such a privilege. I hope these reasons for why your application might have been rejected are satisfactory ^_^
-
Please cease flaming on this topic. None of the players here were responsible for determining who got Spectator or not, and we had no say in the application process. I think that they didn't just give Spectator to anyone with a good YouTube account - they also wanted to see good written answers on the application form and a good history of creativity in the community, and so on. If you are annoyed because your application was not up to the standard required for receiving this privilege, then blaming it on bias will not help you if you try and apply for such a privilege again in the future.
-
Just to confirm, I am in this club ^_^
