Ahem.

This is where I'd be tempted to go get my M3 mammy, and help the players with a few drugs :lol:

I can verify this. I'll let you into a secret, if you want to bribe FBI, use sandwiches, he can't resist. :lol: I feel that would get a great response from the players, we've always felt we have been neglected by the devs.

Thats not bad, I've used similar software before and made bigger and more complicated things, but yeah, keep going!

We already have a Q and A topic: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=170138&st=1400

No, he is just saying that there is no set age limit (like 21 for mod), but Tanki isn't going to give spec mode to a 10 year old... Its highly unlikely that a 10 year old would be able to be a DJ in the first place. Although, really, its about maturity, and age is not a measure of maturity, there are mature 12 year olds and imature 40 year olds.

The reason idea topics are closed is to avoid this entire section being flooded with these topics, especially when most of the ideas have been suggested many times before. Semyon is working on feedback, so hopefully soon it won't appear to be dead. Personally, I think an 'Ideas' topic sticky'd the forum to discuss things would be great, but at the moment, it has to go on feedback and the forum mods must follow the staff guidelines they have been given. They don't get paid more for closing more topics. Some topics are also closed to prevent certain people from trolling in them too. I'll see what I can do about that topic though. Also, if you check the russian forum, you'll see that they are even stricter than here.

Rico? Just no, especially with dictator, tater can only look good with a few guns or on its own.

Why are there no 3vil emotes on the forum? D: And yes, watch out! :ph34r:

Ha, you are so funny... not. xD

Well, I haven't been asked...

:o I want to know more! Please please please can we have a blog? :D

Most of them are english...

It's actually unclassified, its inbewtween Medium and Heavy, but for the purpose of the guide, it's included in heavy tanks.

We're out! Sorry about no ATC or Tie Breaker reviews, couldn't manage them.

This is the medium format: Played on 6v6. Consumables/drugs prohibited. "Friendly Fire" off. Permitted Weapons: Railgun (Max. 3 per team), Thunder (Max. 1 per team), Twins (Max. 2 per team and only on light tanks), Firebird (Unlimited and only on light tanks), Ricochet (Unlimited), All other weapons are prohibited. Permitted Tanks: Light (Unlimited), Medium (Max. 3 per team), Dictator (Max. 1 per team but in this case you can only take 1 more medium tank) Examples of acceptable combinations: 3 med. + 3 light, 2 med. + 4 light, 1 med. + 5 light, Dictator + 5 light, 1 med. + 1 Dictator + 4 light, 6 light. Restriction on paints: All paints are permitted but only on Light tanks. I guess people just join with something allowed. I'm guessing the rules are allowed to be bent (like paints on all hulls, not just light) as it would be hard to get this exact.

I was approached by about writing a reply to 'Ugliness in Tanki', to which I happily agreed to, I take no credit for any of this, apart from making it look nice and the cover pic! :lol: This article in the last issue of press made me pause and shake my head. I've been playing Tanki for more than 2 years - I used different weapons, paints and hulls, played in a fair amount of maps and had my share of frags; there was beauty and there was ugliness in everything, especially in the way tanks looked before the implementation of new graphic settings. But even the makeup can't always hide all the flaws... The Ugliest Weapons 3. Firebird Not ugly per se, but more – unrefined. Unattractive. And unoriginal. For a flame thrower, you'd expect something more than a refurbished gas igniter. I'd at least expect a spitfire! And it stops working when you need it the most... 2. Twins Nothing attractive about a weapon that is going all "pew pew" on you. Double cannons sounds like fun and look cool in Star Wars, but in this case they are so poorly executed, that you are left with a weapon that is not only unattractive, but is a simpleton to boot – just press "space" and go to sleep, it'll do all the battling for you. 1. Isida The ugliest weapon (if it can be considered as weapon at all). Neither stinks nor smells – it heals, it kills, a bit of the both, but none of it to the full amount. But however you put it, it looks like a shrunken head from an Amazon on an oversized body. Place it onto Mammoth hull, and you won't stop laughing at the combo... The Ugliest Hulls 3. Titan A no brainer – it looked ugly before the graphic adjustment, and it still looks ugly after. An armor plates on the sides of those thin tracks didn't saved him, this hull needs a complete makeover. Could somebody contact those guys from "Pimp My Ride", please? 2. Dictator He'd play a Beast alongside any Beauty. Tall, bulky and pointy... Not helping that he isn't the most reliable of the hulls, since he's relatively light when compared to his size. On top of it all, overall design forces you to often drive him backward in order to get a good look from behind the cover. Thanks, but no thanks. 1. Wasp Again, a no brainer: a tank that was brought from World War I through time travel. It's so ugly that you can't even take it seriously! And it's a particular shame that the fastest hull in TO looks like some wooden toy you don't want anything to do with. The Ugliest Paints 3. Roger Skull and bones? Seriously?? What is this, "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme park? As much as we all like the piracy and perhaps even support what Pirate Parties represents and stands for in the modern society, its symbol has no place in the battle of the tanks. 2. Jaguar/Spark I was undecided on this one – both paints are hideous and stand out on the battlefield like a sore thumb. Spark was hugely popular before rebalance because of its protection against ricochet (back in the days when ricochet was actually a powerful weapon), but that bluish-purple tint is so... unadjusted. And Jaguar, in a forest of concrete blocks, rusty tubes and asphalt? Nah. 1. In love Probably made to appeal to a female part of the Tanki Online community, it failed miserably. The pink colour with little hearts looks so repulsive that even girls aren't using this paint. I do know one guy who's using it regularly though, and... it's not a pretty sight. The Ugliest Maps This review wouldn't be complete without adding some maps to the mix. 3. Wolfenstein A Frankenstein map, built from bits and pieces of other maps, mostly Fort Knox. With lots of dead ends and objects placed around seemingly without any plan or purpose, it's hard to even find another base, let alone capture the flag. The maps size also makes it extremely laggy and almost impossible for many of us to play on. 2. Monte Carlo A map that has no point. Perhaps made for parkouring, but even the players who like to parkour never use it for that. You can't jump from one point to another even with nitro, and the whole map is completely useless unless you use rail or thunder. And even then it hasn't much appeal. 1. Dusseldorf Rows and rows of buildings and streets, almost like some ugly suburb. You don't know where you are or you're going, where is your team, what is going on! And you are startled every now and then, when some other oblivious tank bumps into you. And oops, you're dead. Back to the beginning, you don't know where you are and where you're going... They could've at least put a pub somewhere in it! Conclusion Although jokjinari, the author of the previous article and I have somewhat similar opinions, I'd never go that far to say that Thunder and Viking are hideous. Or that Prodigi is "the ugliest paint that can be bought"? It's a blasphemy! I mean, Viking was once the sexiest hull in this game: broad, poised, he moved like Buick through the battlefield... that is, before he was slowed down and consequently ruined for most of the admirers. Also Prodigi, one of the most popular paints before the rebalance still remained among the most used ones - and with the good reason! Not only it provides the excellent protection, its camouflage pattern fits almost perfectly against the grey foundation of many maps. It looks neutral and easy on the eyes. And as for Thunder... well, I don't have to preach to the already converted. Bottom line – I hate the fact that I'm forced to use hulls and paints I don't like, just because they have the performances I'm looking for. Thus I'm anxiously awaiting for more hulls, weapons and paints to appear in this game, and more diversity to choose from... ~Ostrica~

There have been some massive stories this month, almost certainly bigger than the ones in April! Football (Soccer) I guess the biggest news this month in the world of football is the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson, manager of Manchester United, is retiring after 26 years of being at the helm of the 2013 Premier League Champions. Over the last 26 years, he has won 38 trophies, including 13 league titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and four League Cups. He has been in charge for 1500 games, and has 895 wins, 338 draws and 267 defeats. His last game in charge, against West Brom, ended in an incredible 5-5 draw. Everton's David Moyes will replace Ferguson, and expect a Manager Merry go round this summer, with Jose Mourinho tipped to return the Chelsea after leaving Real Madrid, Roberto Mancini being sacked, and Wigan Manager Roberto Martinez could be going to Everton. The final Champions League spots were decided on the last day of the season, with Arsenal beating Spurs to 4thspot to enter the qualifying stage, and Chelsea securing 3rd. In the FA Cup, Wigan had a shock 1-0 win over favourites Manchester City to claim their first Major trophy in their 81 years as a club. However, they were also the 3rd team to be relegated after a 4-1 loss to Arsenal in their penultimate game of the season, and became the first team to win the FA Cup and be relegated from the top flight in the same season. They will be playing in the Europa League from the Championship next season! Now for a quick whiz around Europe, to see who has won the domestic leagues and secured Champions League spots. In France, Paris St Germain comfortably won Ligue 1 by 12 points, and Marseille and Lyon securing the other 2 CL spots. In Portugal, it has all gone horribly wrong for Benifica, 2 weeks ago they were on for a treble, but have ended the season without a trophy after losing the Portuguese Cup to Vitoria de Guimaraes. They had already lost the league title to Porto by losing the decisive league match against them 2-1, and also losing the Europa League Final. In In Italy, Juventus secured the Serie A title, and AC Milan the final CL spot from Fiorentina, with Napoli taking 2nd place. In the Bundesliga, title matters were sewn up last month, but Bayer Leverkusen secured 3rd place for a spot in the CL next season, and Schalke 04 took 4thto enter the CL qualifying. In Spain, Barcelona took the title, and the final CL place is still up for grabs with one game left to be played. Either Valencia or Real Sociedad can clinch it, with Valencia being 2 points ahead but having a worse goal difference, so a win would be enough, but maybe not a draw. The finals of the knock-out European competitions have been played this month, Benifica saw of Fenerbahce and Chelsea beat FC Basel to set up the final on the 15th of May. Branislav Ivanovic's injury-time header won it for Chelsea, And Rafa Benitez can leave Chelsea with his head held high after securing a European trophy and Champions League football next season. The biggest final of the season, the Champions League, was an all German affair as Bayern Munich played Borussia Dortmund at Wembley. The game was a great advert for German football, with top quality football being played at a high tempo from the start, and both keepers having to make great saves. Bayern came out attacking in the second half, after being dominated by Dortmund for the first half, and finally made the breakthrough after an hour, when Arjen Robben set up Mario Mandzukic for a simple tap in. Dortmund responded though, and Ilkay Gundogan scored a penalty within 7 minutes of going behind. Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfeller made some more great saves, but was finally beaten by Robben in the 89th minute to cue the celebrations and end misery for Bayern, who had been in 3 finals in 4 years, and for Robben, who finally scored when it mattered. Cricket This month in cricket saw the culmination of the Indian Premier League, the world's richest cricket tournament. The cricket was entertaining to the last, but, as it so often is in the IPL, it was overshadowed by other news. Three players from the Rajastan Royals franchise, as well as officials of the tournament and other teams, suffered bans for spot-fixing, bringing the credibility of the tournament into disrepute. The court cases for each of the players are still ongoing. In the actual cricket, Hyderabad pipped Bangalore to the final play-off spot (fourth place) but were knocked out in the quarter-final but the disgraced Rajastan Royals team. They, in turn, were knocked out by Mumbai in the second semi-final. Mumbai progressed from there to face Chennai in the final. It was a low-scoring affair, with a fast-paced 60 run-innings from Mumbai's Kieron Pollard the difference between the two teams to win Mumbai Indians their first IPL title. There also were a number of lower-profile international matches this month. After a disappointing series tie in New Zealand, England thrashed the Black Caps in the return series comprehensively. Ireland almost won a historical victory against Pakistan in a ODI, New Zealand and Bangladesh finished off their series with a string of one-day matches, and the build up to the Champions Trophy is beginning in earnest. Formula 1 There were 2 more races this month, with F1 coming to Europe, in Spain and Monaco. Fernando Alonso won his home Grand Prix, and Felipe Massa completed a good weekend for Ferrari as he finished on the podium in 3rd. Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen spilt the Ferraris by taking 2nd. Mercedes had another weekend of tyre woes, they locked out the front row in qualifying, with Nico Rosberg taking pole position and his team mate Lewis Hamilton beside him on the grid in 2nd. But they both went backwards in the race, finishing in 6th and 12th respectively. There have been complaints about the tires all season, but they grew louder from both fans and some teams after many of the cars had to do four Pit Stops in the Grand Prix. The controversy didn't stop there, with it emerging at the Monaco Grand Prix that Pirelli, the tyre supplier had asked Mercedes to do some tyre testing after the Spanish GP. Red Bull and Ferrari believe this to break the rules, and have lodged protests. The FIA, the sport's governing body, is now launching an investigation. The Monaco Grand Prix itself was full of action and incidents, with the first appearance of the Safety Car this season. It had to come out twice, following crashes by Massa, and then Romain Grosjean drove his Lotus into the back of Daniel Ricciardo's Toro Rosso. There was also a Red Flag, which means the race was stopped, when Marussia's Max Chilton and Williams's Pastor Maldonado collided. The resumed after half an hour of delay while the crash barriers were repaired. Another driver hitting the headlines was McLaren's Sergio Perez, who did some bold and risky overtaking manoeuvres throughout the race, but his luck ran out when he hit Kimi Raikkonen near the end and then had to retire with damage. The race was won by Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, who drove flawlessly throughout the entire weekend, had started in pole position, and lead the entire race, keeping his cool with the two safety cars and the red flag. F1 nexts heads to Canada on the 7th of June. Rugby This month saw the culmination of the domestic seasons in the Northern Hemisphere, the Rabodirect PRO12 Celtic League, the English Premiership, European Cups, and the Top14 (although that has yet to be finished). The Premiership saw the expected four teams reach the semi-finals, Harlequins, Saracens, Leicester and Northampton, although in the semi finals it was definitely East Midlands pipping West London, with Northampton reaching their first Premiership final and Leicester their ninth in a row. It was an unsurprising result in a thrilling final, with Leicester comfortably defeating Northampton after a hard-fought final where Northampton captain Dylan Hartley was sent-off for swearing at a referee. The PRO12 also had an unsurprising semi-final line-up, with the four teams which had been leading the table for a long time, the Scarlets, Glasgow, Ulster and Leinster. The two Irish sides, Ulster and Leinster, got to the final, which Leinster won comfortably. In the French TOP14, a shock result occurred in the semi-final when Castres beat favourites Clermont Auvergne, The final, which is yet to take place, will take place between Castres and Toulon, the latter of which will be huge favourites for the final. The reason why they are such big favourites is because of their triumph in Europe's premier club competition, the Heineken Cup. They won against the run of play against Clermont Auvergne, winning thanks to a flawless kicking display from fly-half Jonny Wilkinson and a key try in the closing stages from Delon Armitage. European's secondary club competition was won at home by Leinster, who comfortably overcame Paris' Stade Francais. This month also saw the confirmation of squads and beginning of Summer Tours. The first Summer matches, between England and the Barbarians, ended up being a thrashing by England, despite there being a high-profile Barbarians line-up. Next month, we'll see the culmination of these tours, with European teams travelling all over the world to take out competitors next year. Tennis The second Grand Slam of the year, the French Open started on the 26th of May, and all the big names apart from Venus Williams got through the first round, although Rafael Nadal survived a scare against German Daniel Brands. World Number Two Andy Murray had pulled out of the competition with a back injury. One slightly light hearted bit of news from Roland Garros, is when Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky was annoyed by a line-call he received against Richard Gasquet, so he got out his phone and snapped the ball mark in the clay. Cycling The main event in cycling this month was the Giro d'Italia. It is only of the 3 cycling 'Grand Tours', along with the Vuelta a Espana and most famous, the Tour de France. It took place over 21 stages, and a total distance and route vary each year. The race this year was won by Italian rider Vincenzo Nibali. With British rider Mark Cavendish winning the final stage, this meant he won in the points standings, and claimed the Red Jersey. He is only the 5th rider to win the Red Jersey on all 3 of the Grand Tour. Colombia's Carlos Betancur won the best young rider's white jersey while Stefano Pirazzi of Italy won the King of the Mountains classification. The next big race is the Tour de France, which starts on the 29th of June. ~Lham~ Massive thanks to Skitee for helping with those sports which I don't follow closely.

Me on the other hand... Yes, it is fun being Major with M3. :lol:

We had plans too, so yours wouldn't have worked :P Ours was simple, win. :lol:

Merry Day of Birth! :lol:

Nice, this update will certainly be interesting!

But not too much, we don't like losing. :lol:

Always awful news when someone passes away at such a young age. May you rest in peace and your family find comfort.
