Lol. I know of quite a few that are most definitely not!

http://pixlr.com/ is a great site, but a lot more simplistic than PS of course.

Um... ok. Thanks for all that useful info.

Rank down Would you rather be a hero or villain?

At Selena's rank that's bearable, but at your rank a week is enough.

Or just get a hornet, a better choice in my eyes.

[Guide] CTF Individual Strategy
Ilia.ArchangeI replied to Ilia.ArchangeI in [Guide] CTF Individual Strategy Archive
These are just basic pointers towards playing a decent CTF match with your team. If you're reading this, chances are you already know everything listed below. Observe and Communicate The first and most important step is to observe. Whether you are starting a battle from the very beginning, or joining a battle that's been going on for a while, take the time to see what's going on. We can't always properly communicate with the team we are on, seeing as 7 out of 10 players are Russian; but give it a shot either way, it's always worth it in the long run. Here are some key things you want to be informed about in the battle: Is the other team using supplies? If so, how many players? How often? Does your team have players who are willing to use supplies in return? How many? How often? What is the most powerful aspect of your opponents? The camper Shafts? The Isida that never stops using supplies? What is your team's most powerful aspect? Do they have more of one weapon than others? How many attackers does your team have? How many defenders? Do you have Isidas who can support your defenders and/or attackers if need be? The worst thing you can do is just throw yourself at your opponents as often as you can, and hope that sooner or later you'll get the flag. It works for some people, but then luck is the biggest factor, not your skill or coordination. If you want to win the battle, you need to have control. Decide Now that you've gathered some basic information, you are ready to make some decisions. If you have lots of attackers, you are probably more needed at base where you can support them (with long range) and still watch your base. Granted, defense may not be everybody's play style, but it's more worth it than losing your flag. Otherwise see if someone else is willing to watch the base while you attack, if you firmly believe you're more skilled in attacking. What weapons does your team lack? Maybe everyone is a freeze, and are constantly being picked of by the shafts and railguns. Maybe you only have long range, and getting to the flag is impossible with all the short-range fast-reload defenders. Yes, we all have our primary combination, or our highest upgrade. But some team combinations will do better with a M1 Mammoth Thunder, rather than an M2 Hornet Freeze, so choose accordingly. What weapons are your opponents rich in? Use a paint that will keep you safer from that weapon. Maybe you like Forester, but Lava will be better if your opponents are abundant in freezes. Even if it makes the slightest of difference, you'll notice it in the long run. Coordinate Even if you can't communicate with your team, there are things you can do on your own to coordinate with your team. Which way do your attackers prefer? Usually each game has a certain "flow" to it. The attackers are used to attacking one way, and that's the way they always go. Learn to complement them with your game-play. Sometimes it's better to go the same way in one bunch to support each other. At other times it's better to come from different sides. For example, while your primary attacker is running with the flag, and being chased by all the defenders, you can sneak around from the other side. When they kill him and return the flag, you will be there, waiting to pick it up with no one to stop you, and ride to base. This happened to me more than once, but it requires observation and coordination. Maybe there is a defending rail who is effectively decreasing the opponents health, but doesn't have enough reload time to finish them off, and dies much too often. Grab your freeze, and take turns killing your opponents. Some weapons paired up make amazing, almost unbeatable combinations. Find your team's weak spot (yes, there always is one) and fill it. Learn to rely on your team - it's not a Death Match after all. If you can't play CTF with your team, don't it play at all. Don't hog the flag One of the worst things you can do (which annoys me very much) is hogging the flag. If you brought back a flag, and yours is stolen, don't just sit and wait. If you brought the flag, you are an effective attacker, so leave the flag with your defenders and go get your flag back. We all want the extra points and crystals, I get that, but you are risking losing a flag all together, which will only make things worse for you. When people see that teamwork is on the forefront of your mind, and you aren't selfish, they will start trusting you and your team will become more powerful. Next time they'll give you the flag in stead, knowing that you deserve it. What's even worse is when your own teammates are trying to stop you from bringing the flag to base. How insane is that? They'd rather you die so they get the flag, then score a flag for the team. It's absurd! Of course at times when your team is significantly ahead, and losing a flag or two isn't such a big deal, you can stand to hog a few flags to get extra points. But even then, why not give it to a younger member who is having a hard time keeping up with you? Don't hog kills Killing your opponents is a team effort and nobody likes (put lightly) the guy who steals kills. Share your bounty with your team, and they will likewise share with you. It's even worse to see those people who will wait for their teammates to die trying to kill an opponent, and then finishing them off just so they can get the kill. What kind of gameplay is that? If you finish off others' kills, then sometimes help them out and let them get their share. Of course if you don't care about winning the game, or about winning the fund, then just go ahead, be rude, steal all the kills and flags, and level yourself with the noobs that do the same.

What's the difference? You still only get the reward once a year. It's sadder for you, cause you won't get anything special for your actual birthday. If you put the real date though, you have something to look forward to. Besides, new users won't know they get a reward, and are more prone to putting in the real date.

I already have once Have you ever wanted to kill flae?

Not eat my fav food of course. Would you rather be stuck on the top of a skyscraper, or be trapped in a small basement? (Acrophobia vs. Claustrophobia)
-
How do you know?
-
Would be cool though for each member to share their (imaginary) birthday date, which you can never change, and you get a special gift :)

Facebook, Youtube, Yahoo Mail Or maybe those don't count as interesting sites. edX.org - free online university courses planetminecraft.com - when I still played minecraft years ago My favorite torrent site, can't legally disclose here elixanstudios.com - my creative website in development

Not that amazing, sorry, but decent. Harry Potter font with Bevel, and Hard Chisel on (photoshop stuff) + some other simple blending options. This image from google search, and voila. And strictly speaking, this is an emblem, not a logo. It is too detailed and has no branding elements. Imagine using this as your page's facebook profile picture - you wouldn't see a thing. (pardon my being picky, I'm a graphic designer)

You hacked? Wake-up, check the forums, log into Tanki see who's on, have breakfast, study online, check the forums, work online, have lunch, check the forums, go out for an hour, play Tanki for 4 hours, check the forums, make dinner, eat dinner, check the forums, play another 4 hours, check the forums, take a shower, go to sleep. Loop. And occasionally I have to go out of town for work.

Why is Tanki Getting boring and things that should be added..
Ilia.ArchangeI replied to Jaketredy in Archive
If crystal boxes would be given out in 20, 30 and 50, the amount of multers (collectors) would increase very very rapidly, ruining most games for normal players. Bad idea. New turrets and hulls will start being developed soon, as soon as the friends system and MUs are out, as Semyon has said recently at http://tankionline.com/en/blog/new-turrets-and-hulls-in-tanki-online/ Reward for ranking up has been suggested on feedback already, and has not yet been declined, so it may have potential. As mentioned in the post about new turrets and hulls, Tanki will start implementing new game mechanics, with more uniqueness and interaction. We will have awesome possibilities with that! I think any MMO game that makes people no-lifers have reached their goal. The primary goal of any game is to make you addicted to it; the more - the better. If there were "secret gold box rooms", the amount of multers would rise even higher than your first suggestion. Battles would be full of people just sitting around in the secret rooms waiting for the boxes to fall. Believe me, they wouldn't stay secret for long, and even the voting system wouldn't be able to help us then. Check out the In Development page, it's full of upcoming updates (near and distant future), many of them focused on dynamic gameplay. And I don't agree that the game is boring. Tired of one style of gameplay? Try another. I agree about MUs :) -
Yes, it's called Kamikaze.

If you're playing a team battle, mines will be blue or red. In DM matches they're neutral yellow.

Guys, why do new double topics keep coming up? :( There have already been topics like this, which have been closed, simply because there is an official thread for this. New double topics just spam up our forum and it's sad.

Let's hope so, that will be awesome!
