Welcome to @MarineMan2, who will be helping me to answer questions here from now!

Basic consensus, which I'd have to agree with... - The extra open space is a disadvantage, really, it just means that the gameplay's less intense as things are more spread out. It's nice to explore a new area and try some parkour, but it's not good for gameplay. - The tunnels are a good idea, I personally like them a lot as they add a new dimension to the gameplay. It makes the whole thing more interesting, both strategically and in terms of combat. Overall, I like the experimenting going on here - but keep the tunnels and discard the unnecessary open space, please!

- I registered for the game on 25th July, 2011. - I found out about this game after visiting a site called MMOHut, and I saw a review about the game. It said there were only 4 maps in the game (I think they thought that because they only tried it with a Recruit account) so that initially put me off, but I eventually came back to the review and registered, fortunately! - I first became a staff member in April/May 2013. - It's a privilege and a responsibility at the same time. Obviously, you get to have an avatar and so on, but that comes with doing the duties of the job itself. A very rewarding experience!

Out of the kindness of my heart, I decided to hold some Wasp/Fire battles with fellow clan members so they could get the crystals they need for various equipment at the sales:

IDK, about 12/13? It broke pretty early... No idea, lol. No-one except the developers have the answer to that question. I think we can agree that it's one of the biggest mysteries of the game, so the answer won't be revealed anytime soon :P The only thing I can confirm is that it is NOT Semyon Kirov, he's said this before.

Yes, the English Community staff groups are currently undergoing such re-organisation. A1: Go and check our members list, ask someone if you wish to duel with him... I'm not interested in how good you think you are, sorry.

Two reasons... - I'm a CyberSport commentator too, and can't have both avatars at the same time, lol. - The Reporters do not currently have avatars, due to some internal re-organisation of staff groups.

Definitely - nice going, especially if it was for the first time :P C) A - I've seen a YouTube video of this being the last question to win $1,000,000, lol. Well, if you mean you wish to answer some of the questions asked here, then you'd have to ask me about it - but I'd have to say no to you, as you misinformed a player earlier in this topic. Sorry! Q1: Either would do, you'd very likely lose in terms of the second challenge... So my answer is yes :P Q2: I'm good - how about you? Q3: I would agree with you that staff members have, in the past, not been as skilled as some of the higher-ranked normal players, mainly due to their duties within the community. However, currently I don't think this is the case - I know of a fair few talented staff members who are also skilled in-game. Q4: Really, there is an infinite number of colours in the world, or a number very close to that. I would save up for M3s, you'll need the crystals very soon :P Unfortunately, we don't have many moderators in the game all the time. This means that only a fraction of in-game reports get dealt with. Therefore, the best option is to record the violation (as you said) and to post it here. You've been a bit vague there, but here you go - no idea why you'd want such equipment, however. Not particularly; you must've been banned due to a violation of the rules. Try to learn from what you did wrong so it doesn't happen again :) Look here - it explains that the maximum protection allowed on M1 Wasp is 30%, hence why Digital is never allowed. This is because M2 Rails especially would not always be able to destroy you in two shots, which would be unfair. 2014... right? xD Already seen this before, and yes, I can read it... I do not think my English teacher would be very happy if I used that method of spelling, however :lol: No, thank you. Thanks for the offer, anyway.

Got to admit that school can be incredibly boring sometimes...

Summoning Godmode inside Fen's tank:

Please e-mail help@tankionline.com, give your username, and make sure you explain the details of the problem (e.g. what does it say when it doesn't work?). They should be able to help :)

Albania is located in C. Europe. A score multiplier pass, most likely... I spent 400,000 crystals during the free speed-up + 25% MU sale, which means I only have 30,000 crystals for this sale.

I'm sorry, I'm already in a clan at the moment. But thanks for asking, anyway!

It was, yes - but you've just ruined the secrecy which Archy created in the interview :P

These questions are stuff he's tried as part of classwork, so he says. Though I have helped with Maths homework of his on Skype :P Of course. I request that you do these two things as well: - Please include my username with the link to my profile in the topic, say something like: "Special thanks to @GoldRock for the idea!" but in Russian of course. - Please include a link to this topic, like this: Ask Me Anything! (EN Community). These are the forum codes you would need to do so. For my username: [member='GoldRock']For the link to this topic: [url=http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=219848]Ask Me Anything! (EN Community)[/url]I don't think these are unreasonable requests. Good luck with the topic in the RU community, I'm looking forward to seeing it - make sure you post a link here when you make it! :)

Archimedes' principle. And as for your second problem: Your question does not make it clear whether the 'odd marble' is heavier or lighter than the others. That would therefore require an extra step for me to determine, which means I wouldn't be able to do the question in 4 steps (or that I'd only be able to do so with half as many marbles). Therefore, for the purpose of answering this question, I will assume that the marble is heavier, and so I would not need an extra step to determine on which side of the scale it lies. Well, since we have only 4 steps in which to do this, the fourth root of 80 is 2.99 (to 2 decimal places), which I'll say is practically 3. To me, this seemed like too much of a coincidence to ignore... - Therefore, I'll divide my pile of 80 into 3 groups which are as equal as possible, and these would be 27:27:26. I will then put 27:27 onto the scale (leaving the 26 marbles at the side) - if the piles weight the same, the odd marble is in the 26 pile, else we know which 27 pile it's in (for that would be heavier than the other). As you can see, I can still find where the odd marble is out of three piles by measuring the two equal piles, and my 'fourth root' coincidence of before helped me to stumble across this finding. - If the odd marble is in one of the 27 piles, I would divide the pile like so: 9-9-9, and I would again measure the first two piles to determine which pile it's in. If the odd marble is in the 26 pile, I would divide the pile like so: 9-9-8, and would measure the first two piles to determine which pile it's in. - If the odd marble is then in a pile of 9, I would divide the pile into 3-3-3 and measure the first two to determine where the odd marble is. If it's in the pile of 8, I'd divide it into 3-3-2 and measure the first two to determine where the odd marble is. - Finally, if the odd marble is in a pile of 3, I would divide the pile into 1-1-1 and I'd measure the first two marbles to determine which one is the odd marble. If the odd marble is in the pile of 2, I'd divide this into 1-1 and measure both of the marbles to determine which is the odd marble. To summarise, my steps would be: 27-27-26, 9-9-9/9-9-8, 3-3-3/3-3-2, 1-1-1/1-1 (a complete chance of getting the odd marble at the fourth step).

Firstly, I'd like to say that I did catch your amusing reference to a certain account in your question :P Anyway, the solution... - Put the boat in the water, and put the elephant on the boat. - Mark where the water comes up to on the boat, using the paint and brush. - Remove the elephant from the boat. - Use the 100kg scale to measure out 100kg amounts of the rocks on the shore (or more accurate amounts if needed), and add these amounts to the boat until the water comes up to the paint mark for when the elephant was on the boat. - The number of 100kg amounts of rock (or the total weight of the rocks you put on the boat) you put on the boat is equal to the weight of the elephant. Warning: this'd require me to have a lot of time on my hands, too! Yes - I didn't specify when since I don't know myself ^_^

Great interview, definitely an interesting read! Nice one Archy :P

Sounds good! And that's quite a few posts and accounts you've got there :P I've been playing for over 3 years now, and have the same problem as you! Hmm, I might want to learn the Russian language sometime, depends if I'm ever interested in going over to Russia to work or live there. No idea, but I'm glad I've had the opportunity to answer all these questions, lol - it's been an interesting topic for me at least, hopefully it has been for others too! Yes, I heard about it quite a while ago, and we've studied the issue in our Religion lessons in school. Needless to say, they're definitely using the wrong means in attempting to achieve their aims... We'll see in the future, as I already said :P Got to admit, a bit of roast penguin is nice every now and then, 'specially with some tomato sauce... But the humble pizza wins it for me. After all, we have to make an effort to save the pizza outlets from melting, what with global warming and all... I would post a photo in Real Photo if I wish to, I'd rather not start up a 'PM-photo' service, lol... School in Britain is decent I guess, most of us have to wear a formal uniform to school (so that consists of a blazer, tie, shirt, formal trousers and shoes) which isn't always too popular. Usually, we should get to school around half-past eight in the morning, and school ends for me at half-past three in the afternoon. Quite a few lessons are devoted to the 'core' subjects such as Maths, English and the sciences, but we're also allowed a good variety of other subjects, many of which we get to choose at various points. I've got major exams around May/June and 'mock' (practice) exams for those in December, so a lot of our time is going into revision of past topics at the moment, which isn't always that interesting. Both are really good M2 weapons. I'd argue that Thunder is perhaps a little more effective with Dictator than Railgun is at that level, but if I were you, I'd make that choice based on which weapon you like more. Because both of them are effective! Yes, I do ^_^ ___________ Fen, an answer to your question is coming up shortly.

I see what you did there...

*notices a hog upvote* Someday, I might post a real picture of mine in Real Photos... Depends if I ever feel there's any reason in particular to do so, lol. Check out the Violators section of the forum, and make sure you read these rules of the section!, too. Yes, I do - Radioactive, in particular, is one of my favourite songs. Demons is pretty good, too. Seems like we have a similar music taste, in some aspects ^_^ Hey there! Well, I live in Manchester - it rains quite a lot, and there can be traffic jams in the centre of the city, but it's not a bad place overall. I agree that it's good to practice your English here :) So, have you been active in the Russian community, too?

I'm from England - and don't post them then, lol :P

In terms of fiction, Enid Blyton is a good place to start off from scratch, her work (whilst dated now) is fairly interesting and easy to read. Trying a more contemporary series, such as the Harry Potter, Hunger Games, or Percy Jackson series, is also a good idea. More challenging fiction series would include His Dark Materials, though I've got to admit I read it in primary school. After that... Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom? Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time? Those are some interesting books by prominent global figures, though you may find them a little more challenging than ordinary fiction. Good luck! I'm a fan of both of these series, and it wasn't as if I couldn't remember the second one, since I did say I didn't guess just because I wasn't entirely sure :P In any case, those questions were designed to be purposely awkward (even though I've read books from both series multiple times), and you know it! In any short story (especially for a contest), I'd say the most important parts are the intro and the ending. After all, you want to leave a lasting impression with the reader. However, the middle is vital in terms of demonstrating an overall ability to make a story flow - so don't chuck your concept out the window, just focus on improving your intro and ending and on being original where possible. I'm pretty sure I answered a similar question before in a way which made it clear that I do not currently have a girlfriend, and I'm 15 years old.

Manchester United... That's where I live, so yeah. There's no particular selection of 'complex' books, you know your reading abilities are good if you can read something longer than 500 pages in length and enjoy doing so.
