Guide [Issue 19] D/L vs. Score, What's the Significance?
SpreadLoveNotHate replied to SpreadLoveNotHate in Newspaper Archive
@Dr.Urbi, caps are forbidden on the forum and chat, please don't use them in any way. Thanks! And I take a mean of both :D Not a low DL (people think I'm a nub) and not a low score (Peeps will kick me :() -
Guide [Issue 19] Drugs and the New Physics
SpreadLoveNotHate replied to SpreadLoveNotHate in Newspaper Archive
Here, take a kit for example and maybe a tv the size of approximately the kite. The tv is definitely greater in weight, so the more weight, the faster it would fall. The kite though, would be able to gently fall instead of what the tv would do, which is a rather quick fall to the ground if both thrown up into the air. This experiment is just an analogy and is in no way promoted for others to attempt. Do not try this at home! -

The greater the weight, the more gravity that is pushing down on the tank, therefore less horizontal distance. -
It's out! It's out! Happy new year everyone! Marking my tenth issue, hope you guys enjoy it!

Daily bonus is random. I don't think there is a predetermined % of what you get other than equal.

Guide [Issue 19] Drugs and the New Physics
SpreadLoveNotHate replied to SpreadLoveNotHate in [Issue 19] Drugs and the New Physics Newspaper Archive
Drugs and the New Physics A look into the changes! With the new physics, comes new experiences with supplies in any kinds of maps. Of course, some weapons and hulls are now more powerful than others, but Tanki has now provided an even more realistic model for tankers to battle. General Changes Before jumping into changes, let's take a look at what hasn't changed. - The time supplies are active when activated - The time in-between activating supplies - The cost of drugs - The appearance of drugs in daily bonus Minor changes have also be done to ways some battle run. These changes are related to supplies but were added after the Micro Upgrades Update (Update 208). In this update, No Supplies battles have been upgraded and changed into something known as 'PRO Battles'. This update allows for more options when creating a game. These options include the ability to turn off Micro Upgrades in a battle, disable crystal and gold box drops, in addition to the abilities to disable supplies drops and the use of supplies in a battle. Therefore, PRO battles with everything turned off will be a pure fight of skill! Changes in Hulls All hulls have increased in speed, and gameplay is what you can call accelerated! Many hulls now can 'drift', which can be explained by centripetal force. What this means is that hulls that turn at a rapid speed will slightly continue to move in the direction that it was previously going. Each individual hull now has its unique statistics that have been changed after the physics update. Here is an example of how it should look like in your garage: The following is shown in order from left to right: - Protection - Maximum (top) Speed - Turning Speed - Weight (in Kilograms) - Power Some of this is new after the update, so here's brief explanations of what each mean. Protection hasn't changed. It is the amount of health the tank has until it is destroyed by enemies (or friends in friendly fire). Top Speed hasn't changed either. It is the quickest a tank can travel, relative to others. Garage is ordered in this fashion from fastest to slowest. Turning speed is how quickly a tank can turn. Usually, the heavier the hulls, the less the turning speed. Weight is a new concept. It shows how much the tank weighs, which is important to determine the amount of downward force (gravity) that affects the tank. Power is another new concept. Power shows the amount of force that a tank can apply to another tank in a linear formation. These are all of the statistics for hulls! Also, Micro-Upgrading can slightly improve each one, so choose wisely. Focusing on Supplies The only major supply that has been changed along with the new physics is Nitro. Nitro now has a new formula, it deals with acceleration of the tank as well, as acceleration wasn't a factor before the new physics. Original Speed × 1.3 (Extra 30% speed is given when Nitro is activated) = Nitro Speed As well, acceleration is increased by 0.5. Nitro has a different effect on every tank. Here's an in-depth explanation of how and why. Wasp: Containing a lot of potential in terms of speed, Nitro usage could make the tank's speed go out of control. A lot of the times, you could be shot out of the air before you could aim at an enemy target. Don't go full speed up ramps! As well, turning is extremely sensitive, so always make little moves instead of big ones. This is a great tank if you always liked sensitivity on high in other games! Hornet: Easy to control, though during some turns with Nitro, Hornet may drift. It is definitely smart to ease off on the gas before going into a turn in case of a bad drift. Hunter: On Nitro, Hunter is quite an easy tank to maneuver as well. It has significantly more weight so that it doesn't become unstable like Wasp, though it still has some drift like Hornet. Jumping with Hunter doesn't achieve much distance though it is much safer than jumping with other larger hulls. Heavier hulls have a greater chance of flipping. Dictator: Really smooth to drive, it almost can be said as to gliding when it comes to driving with Nitro. It is easier to flip with Dictator than the other lighter hulls, and drift does occur infrequently. Viking: Viking is quite slow on Nitro, but definitely not as slow compared to heavier hulls. Jumping doesn't achieve you great distances, though it lands in a regular position quite often, which makes it a bonus. Turning isn't as sensitive and it almost never drifts. This is a great hull for those who would want more control over their tank and less sensitivity. Titan: It is slow on drugs, which is expected of a heavy hull. Jumping upwards from a ramp and downwards won't achieve you much distance because of the weight. Turning is definitely slow, and is hard to make sudden turns of this hull. An advantage is that it is pretty good at pushing other tanks off cliffs for those who like this as a hobby! Mammoth: Finally Mammoth. Heaviest hull, as well as slowest in Tanki. It is what you would expect. Just as slow as before the physics update, it could be hard for Mammoth lovers to accept the change. Turns are difficult to make as well. This tank is one thing, a beast. Unmovable and extremely hard to kill. Without Nitro though, jumping often leads to a flipped Mammoth. Mines The idea of mines has not changed, though mines with the new physics may have a different effect on your tank. For lighter tanks, it is better to avoid a mine than hitting it, as it could cause your tank to go out of control! After taking a look at these changes, the choice is yours on which one to purchase in the upcoming year! Be careful of these drugging tanks, and hopefully, you'll know how to take them down! It's great if you know how to drug, so winning battles can be a piece of cake, anytime. -
Story [Issue 19] A Retired Tankman's Life
SpreadLoveNotHate replied to SpreadLoveNotHate in [Issue 19] A Retired Tankman's Life Newspaper Archive
A Retired Tankman's Life I'm in a large crater, a loud 'boom' strikes a couple meters away from me. Dust and debris fly and hit the side of my tank as its shockwave gives my tank a slight budge. Another enemy tank fires and the large piece of ammunition comes straight at my tank. Seconds before my estimated impact, I prayed. Probably it's only under these circumstances that I would do so, but if it would save me, by all means. Amen. In a split second, I see it right above my tank. Oh my. "This marks the end", I say to myself. And it hits with a loud thud. I scream and bounce up out of my sleeping position. I glance at the clock, 4 am in the morning. Just had another nightmare. How do I feel? Well, first, I noticed I was sweating from head to toe, and my pillow is soaked. I can't differentiate whether the wetness of my pillow was caused by my tears, my sweating condition, or both. Then I notice I scrunched up all our bed covers. Finally after a long twenty seconds, I suddenly realize I screamed in the middle of the night. I glance over my shoulder, to check upon my wife, as well as checking upon my kids in the next room. My wife gives me a blank glance when I returned, showing worry about my mental state. This wouldn't be the first time I woke her up because of a nightmare. The memories of my military career come back to haunt me. I mouthed words that are supposed to be comforting, but I know that she's been worried about me for quite a while now. My PTSD has been really getting on my nerves for the past years as I grow older. Ever since I left the battlefield about 20 years ago, fragments of my life back then kept coming back to me. I left the tank corps back when the great war ended, and went on with life in peace. Anyway, I dozed off without realizing and the bright morning sun glare through my window wakes me up the next morning. Once again, I glance over my shoulder, my bed is empty, other than me, a few pillows, and the covers. It takes me a few seconds to ponder about what is missing (complete blankout) until the hairdryer noise presents itself at the door to the bathroom situated adjacent to our bedroom. Ah. That's what's missing. No wonder I felt so cold in bed. All of a sudden, it came to me that she was already up, and I dared to take a peek at the alarm clock. Oh shoot, already 8:30 in the morning. I'm going to be late for work, hasn't happened in a while! (Ok, lying to myself, I've always been late, my boss has been nagging about it for the past months in which I've been practically daydreaming through my days, but I try.) In no time, I get up and get dressed into work clothes. Getting my briefcase, I snatch the Cranberry Orange muffin that sits on my counter and my car keys, and run out the door. Waving to my wife as I drive off my driveway with half a muffin stuffed in my mouth, I drive off. I'm lucky school start time changed from 8:30 to 9:15 this year. Last year, I had to get a teacher with a spare prep to cover for me daily, as I was always half an hour late. My time management skills...yeah. Needs work. The school I work at is about a half hour drive away, though it usually takes quite a few minutes to get my 20 year old car engine warmed up to the point where it can drive. I drive up to where I usually park in the back lot of the school. I open the trunk, grab my briefcase and run inside to the classroom where I teach. It's a decent paying job, though I have to work after hours too. Even better, this year, the history Head of Department of this 45 year old high school retired, and left his position to me. From my military experiences, I love teaching history. It brings me back to my glorious days of serving my country. One that has provided peace and protection for my family and I since when we were born. I was quite interested with history back when I was a kid too, and being able to pass it to other students now, mixed with my own personal experiences, is quite a pleasure. Being late all the time? Stressful to extremes. Always the death glares from my students as if they saw a zombie walking in. (Probably cause I do look like a zombie when I'm half asleep.) After three classes of teaching the same historical events and figures, as well as a lunch break and a preparation break, my work day is done. With a great big smile, I walk out to spend the rest of my day working at my second job. At the tank museum in downtown! At first, it was the highlight of my day, being able to relive the moments when I honoured my country, and have people bask in my heroics. (If only that happens more than once a year on tankmen's day). The rest of my days, I just guide the few tourists around and answer anything that they have questions about. It's still somewhat interesting, the love of my life is still the battlefield in my mind, even though nightmares always occur. After my three hour shift, I go home for dinner with my family. Something I treasure, since I've been away in the battlefield for years and missed a lot of my wife's golden years. It was hard on us, so when I got back, I promised I would spent all the spare time I had dedicated to making up for those years. The five of us, my wife, my 2 girls, aged 8 and 4, my boy, aged 2 and I eat together, and it has been so for the past few years. It's necessary family gathering time, and it's what makes our family so united and loving. Usually, we only have enough food to fill our stomachs, but we are thankful for it. Life is costly for us, and we can't afford anything fancier than our couple hundred square feet apartment. It really doesn't matter though, we live happily and that's all we want. Once a week, after a bit of television time, I go to my psychiatrist's to take a look at my PTSD. My Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has been with me for so long. It was stressful battling in those harsh conditions, eating rations and getting through loud days and lonely nights. A lot of old pals I had back in the regiment are in the same situation I am. I open up my worries, my experiences and my dreams to my psychiatrist, and these conversations we have are supposed to reduce my stress level. To be honest, it hasn't changed a bit. My hour session ends quickly as time flies. I return home in my car, looking at the self note telling myself to turn headlights on. Oh how I wish I had a better memory too... I almost doze off behind the wheel, but I make it safely home. Looking back, I strive to have a normal life. My tank career changed me forever, though what it didn't change is my love for my family. Fighting for my beliefs, my country, and my honour, it's what matters to me. I wouldn't change a thing. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is classified as an anxiety disorder, caused by being exposed to wide ranges of traumatic events in their life. -
I'm glad you want more people to read rules and that is completely necessary. Though, tricking them into thinking there's free crystals if you click on rules isn't right, and it's trolling. Please not only read and promote rules, but follow them. ______________________ Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Gold boxes are supposed to be random. If there was a tracker, those games that didn't have a gold will have no one in them.
