if you play with mk0 hull and mk0 gun til theres a sale is that sabotage?
LiquidGold replied to LiquidGold in Archive
thank you for all your suggestions, I to have tried to make m0 battles and always someone Russian comes with no wasp and no smokey then proceeds to laugh and kill, I will organise some private battles via pm as I am not in a clan and at the moment I don't intend to be in one either, lets get a tank filter so you can exclude types of tank and guns you don't want to battle ..... -

so if you play with mk0 wasp and mk0 smokey at high rank is that sabotage? -
I don't do it in experience I set myself a goal to get at least 500 crystals a day when I have time to play, I have updated this as I was reaching that too often so I try for 800 a day now, and like Lhamster I have been known to get between 0-10k a day in exp

---lets start at the beginning-- firstly weather records have only been kept for the last 300 years approximately, so what data we have is quite limited in terms of statistics given the length of time weather changes have taken place here on earth. early on the atmosphere did not even contain much oxygen at all and this only changed with the first origins of any living thing which was basically green ooze or chlorophill, slowly these plants gave off oxygen and ingested enough carbon dioxide so the atmosphere changed to what we have today. How do we know what the weather was like before weather records were recorded, well scientists started looking at gymnospore records these are plants that use seeds to reproduce and they can extrapolate from where these seeds were found, as to what geological range they are found in now and to when the seeds were made to give an idea of what the weather conditions may have been like way back in the past, as different plants like different temperatures and different types of rainfall patterns. If seeds from a plant that like much sunlight are found in a very cold climate then you can guess that at some point that part of the world may have been warmer at some point. There is another tool that is used and this is dendrochronology or the study of tree growth rings at the moment there are proven and continuous record for these rings back 11,000 years. Why is this important, well each ring in a tree gives us an idea of good and bad growth years for trees in good climatic years trees grow more and the growth rings are wider, in poor climatic years they are narrower, so we have another way of best guessing what the climate may have been like, also trees act like a sponge, just as your own hair can be used to find out what you have eaten years later if your hair is long, trees take up food and carbon and any other things floating about at the time and chemical analysis of the sugar and lignin or lignen gives another idea of how the atmosphere has changed over time. Another important study is Arctic ice records, as snow falls and turns into ice the way it is formed (by sublimation) means that it traps gasses freely available at the time it fell. Some ice flows are up to 2300 meters deep and so trapped gases from a very long time ago which can be studied by the Arctic survey teams by taking core samples. There are many, many more factors involved in warming or even cooling of the atmosphere including but not exclusively, how near or how far we are from the sun, how much refelctivity the planet has (albedo - how much energy from the sun bounces off our planet), how much cloud cover there is, how much NOX ( Nitogen dioxide) SOX ( Sulphur dioxide) and COX (Carbon dioxide) there is in the atmosphere, how many trees are cut down each year compared to how many are planted and grown, how much stored sunlight is burned each year from fossile fuels - coal, natural gas etc, how much consumable goods are made each year and the manufacturing processes involved these are basically mans' or womans' influences on the atmosphere. There are natural things which will influence the balance particularly how active volcanoes are, how warm or cool the sea gets, and how much ice or snow there is at any given point more snow/ice means the reflectivity of the planet changes less ice less reflectivity so more sunlight will reach out inner atmosphere and then get trapped by the NOX SOX and COX in the atmosphere..I can go on and on but it seems pointless listing everything. Anyway since all the brains got together many reports have been made some say global warming is happening , some say it is not happening, there is much misinformation floating about including what Al Gores pseudo documentary claimed. I will say this, the ambient global temperature has risen 1 half of 1 degree since the the industrial revolution or over the last 150 ish years this may not sound much but it may have long term influences if you wish to see some we know about go here -->http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ This is a link to the Arctic sea ice and news data website. There are other sensationalist things you may be able to see try and find a copy of a film called "The wind" by Julien Temple it was commissioned by green peace to highlight why we need offshore wind power (in the U.K.), it didn't make mainstream t.v. so may be hard to source, I have a copy on vhs somewhere. If you wish to make further explorations into this issue I may be able to point you in some useful directions so you can make up your own mind, but it is a heavy weight issue with a palimpsest of human decisions before us, UNESCO say that both rich and poor counties contribute to this issue and in particular they raise an interesting question- why should decision makers who live in comfortable surroundings care if this issue is true or not they will be long gone before it becomes a problem. If it is true or not, we only have one life raft on which to live with finite resources. What would be the most sensible thing to do ignore it or do something about it.

if it doesn't shut for nothing maybe you should pay them to shut, then they would shut for something -
do a back flip of a high wall while shooting and destroying a m3 mamouth with a m3 smokey and wasp m1 and you get a cool parcore prize of 1 crystal :D

moblie / cellular / handi phone companies why do they not garantee to deliver any text messages you send? I frequently get a text and all it says is /missing text/ like they are laughing at you

when in a battle if you see someone breaking the rules you type in the chat box /vote tank name... so mine would look like this /vote LiquidGold for any moderator to come to your rescue now 25% of people in the same game must also vote for the offender, which has effectivly nulled the whole point of voting, since the 25% rule came into force I have never been able to get a moderator to join a battle to watch in spectator mode... if you can get a game moderator to join they will chat to you directly and their writing will be seen in yellow with the name Spectator beside it do take note that the what you say to the spectator can be seen by the all people in the game , but if they talk to you their chat will only been seen by you and the other reporters. If a moderator is available they are very good at their job and can sort out most problems, I have been help many times and on numerous occasions the person I voted for was given a harsh punishment

my house but I wont tell you how much its worth.. the most expensive thing I have ever sold was a series of photographs from 1845, they were on glass, not paper or celluloid, I paid £10,000 for an introduction to a collector and sold my photos for £150,000 GBP around $230,000 USD

if tanki need money ( hard currency) these stickers could be advertising logos I know many would not like this as an idea but I would love a coke paint or a Heinz Baked Beans paint it would be funny as and tanki would make revenue.. again they miss out on the billboards idea some one made ages ago for those to be used for adverts in the battles.. Anyway what ever happens logos on tanks is a great idea +1

Thank you for the update, I will be sure to screen shot my entire garage and crystal count just in case things get wobbly during the transfer, and in 6 months to a year I hope that the move goes well, as I know these things take some time. Good luck and keep up the hard work.

--- I said I would get back to you on this question, the limits of computing are finite, let me qualify that statement. At the moment the power of computers doubles every 18 months this is Moore's law, how ever the brains that be are working on Quantum computers, quantum deals with the very small particles including atoms. Making a working quantum computer using single atoms to make components is only theoretically possible at the moment but apparently the mathematics for them holds up to testing. So the limits of computers are that when we are able to manufacture transistors the size of one atom that will be the ultimate limit of any computer, I can not give you any idea of how fast a computer will be able to do calculations as no one knows. I hope this answer is not to simplistic, but I had to " phone a friend option" as "asking the audiance" was used up already

---anecdotal "evidence" is just that, this goes into the realms of the fish gets 2 feet longer by the time you got home at the end of a days fishing, also Aboriginal and first Nation people often over paint old cave and rock drawing to keep the story alive this means that they change over time. It has also been known that non authorised people i.e. vandals do over paint old rock art destroying what was there, so it will be quite difficult to use not so old pictures as you say to verify any real claims of modern dinosaurs. --- The hairy mammoth is well documented to have been found whole and regularly they are discovered in the permafrost regions of Russia often 200 or more parts are found each spring which get removed by trophy hunters for profit before they can be studied, some do however get saved for academic study. The key is finding viable DNA from which to clone. Even though its well documented that frozen microbes can and do indeed come back to life after decades of hibernation in the excessive colds of the Arctic regions, they have very special blood concentrations of what is essentially ethyl glycol or anti freeze to survive the minus 60 and lower temperatures there. If one extrapolates from data on other types of flesh we can make the assumption that mammoths flesh will freeze starting at minus 15 degrees, cellular damage and dna damage does occur loosely speaking because ice formation is crystalline which breaks cell walls. There are other very complicated things in play here that also render dna non viable---- I have to say be no means am I an expert in this field-- so if anybody can add more please do

--energy= mass x the speed of light squared why does e = mc (squared) is the title of a book by prof Brian cox an English professor if you wish to have a funny and enlightened answer I suggest you read the book, he is exceptional in his explanations so that even I can understand it. There is no short answer for this question and it would take several days for me to fully explain it here. Please use wikipeadia and type mass energy equivalence for your search or just e=mc2

---string theory is an attempt the marry up the currant theories of the very very large universe and the very very small particles inside atoms and how they interact together- we are ofcourse talking about super string theory which evolved from the basic string theory many high profile theorists think that super string theory is a step towards the correct fundamental description of nature at the moment. It does mean that you have to take "a leap of faith" because string theory allows for a consistent combination of Quantum field theory ( the small bits) and Einsteins' general relativity theory, and because it agrees with general insights into quantum gravity ( or how we think gravity behaves next to a black hole). There is one other thing that you have to get to grips with if you are to form an opinion either way and that is the multiverse theory the whole idea of string theory hangs together if there are a minimum of 4 universes and some think up to 11 or more, if you can take this onboard the mathematics becomes consistent and repeatable a basis for all scientific research. My own comment is that this is a step along the way an I think this may form part of a bigger long term picture we have yet to discover, even the great Hawkings after 30 years of work said some of his research was wrong and he had to start over again and he has 3 possible models for time and how our universe formed during the few seconds after the big bang. So do I believe in string theory I think its going in the right direction, but it will only be part of the answer

---A friend of mine from Berkeley University was involved in the original work of extracting DNA from blood in the stomachs of mosquitoes captured inside amber in an attempt to find DNA of dinosaurs, his work went onto inspire the film Jurassic Park, which in its self is incorrectly titled as dinosaurs are from the Cretaceous period. There are living descendants of dinosaurs now everywhere, the birds we see today are directly descended from flying dinosaurs, just as we humans are descended from our presimmion ancestors. Will we ever be able to find viable source material from which to "clone" or replicate new living dinosaurs, this is highly unlikely.
