    Comparing HTML5 to Flash

    Have you tried going to settings and changing the key assignments? I had to do that for the ghosting issue on my keyboard. I could go around in a circle, but if I tried to circle around someone and fire at the same time, I had to stop firing to turn my tank then start firing again. My circles were more like octagons.

    Mars Race

    I asked my Grandkids if they were going to encourage their kids (still quite young yet) to go into some aspect of the space flight program and told them about this Mars mission (I did some research myself). My Grandson said that he has already tried to expose his kids to space exploration. They've been to the Kennedy Space Center and Museum and have seen a few launches in real life, as opposed to seeing them on TV. But neither child has shown any inclination towards anything yet. He said that if either of his kids starts showing some interest in space, then he will certainly nudge the child in that direction, but won't force the issue. His wife simply said "Whatever." My Granddaughter is still on the fence. She said that if her kids went into space, she may never see them again, it'd be worse than joining the military and going to war. Having said that, I asked her if she would discourage them from joining the military. She said she would support them in whatever they choose, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I asked her husband. He said that he is having a tendency to agree with his wife. However, if they choose the military/space flight, then there isn't much he can do about it. He said that he wasn't going to encourage them down any path. Let them choose their own path and he will support them in their decision.
  4. I was traveling down an Interstate Highway, speed limit was 70 mph, flow of traffic was about 75 mph. A motorcycle came up and passed so fast, the noise of the engine and exhaust scared me. I have no idea how fast he was doing, but he was weaving in and out of traffic, passing BETWEEN cars on the dotted line and passing in the pullover lanes. Ahead of me I could see brakes lights go on, cars swerving and other cars going off the road. In just a few seconds, the biker was out of sight. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

    Tanki needs to fix the Lower Ranks

    Sometime ago, this very issue was addressed in I & S. The suggestion was to put new alt accounts on different servers than the actual newbies. The suggestion was declined. The reason given was because the system couldn't tell the difference between a new alt account and a newbie to the game. I still think it was a good idea.
  7. Nicknames? Naw. I'm more concerned with team performance.
  8. Massacre CTF Blue: Usually I use Isida/Viking, but I decided to use Firebird/Hornet for a change. I was on Blue. Battle started from the beginning. Before I was fully spawned, I went after the flag, grabbed it and was almost to the base when I was one shotted. My team was fully spawned, but where were they? Hiding behind the buildings. The enemy was advancing over the hill. Did anyone from my team try to protect the stolen flag or even care? NO! Not one fire was shot. As close as the stolen flag was to our base, no one attempted to come out from behind the buildings. A bunch of pantywaists. I tried again. Grabbed the flag, went around a hill and got halfway to our base. Again, one shotted. Did anyone from blue try to retrieve the flag? Nope. They were still hiding behind the buildings. Finally, a few tried to advance. I went with them. I grabbed the flag, but again, no team support. I didn't get very far that time. During the battle, I saw we had 4 rails and a thunder hiding behind the buildings with their backs to the flag. I was a Wasp coming up along the wall, I gave chase, but he was too fast. Did anyone else help? Nope. Did anyone fire at the Wasp? Nope. They were so focused on the hill, they didn't notice the flag was stolen. The Wasp came back for another try. This time he had company. The snipers were firing at the oncoming red and, again, didn't notice the flag was stolen. When the Wasp took our flag, he went straight up the middle and as he passed by his teammate, they closed ranks. Good team work, red. What about the rest of my team? The four snipers were still hiding behind the buildings. That left me and another teammate to try to steal the flag. He, too, was using Firebird/Hornet. I looked at our snipers hiding behind the buildings as the enemy advanced, hardly taking any shots. I thought, "What a bunch of pussywillow pantywaists" and left.

    I just want to have fun playing Tanki

    A racing game I used to play had 6 players per race. Before the race the players were given a choice of 3 maps and a choice of 2 racing modes for each map. The map and mode with the most votes was the one raced. In the event of a tie, the map and mode chosen by the first player to vote was the one raced.

    If there was any way you could buy a one day premium, you could create a private battle and drop those 13 gold boxes for yourself for 13,000 crystals. That may help to buy some of the equipment you need like protections or a medium to long range weapon.

    Whats Your Name Backronym?

    Katy Aided The Yelping Dog In Dumpster ---------------------------------- True story
  12. As many times as I proof read that, I never noticed the error. No, "killing" is not a slang for "kissing." There was no killings at the party, only kissing. I apologize for the typographical error. I repeat: No killing, just a lot of love spread around. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
  13. My dog spotted a squirrel in the backyard and ran after it. The squirrel jumped on top of the fence, looked down at my barking dog and started chattering at him. The squirrel ran back and forth along the top of the fence with my dog in hot pursuit on the ground. I hadn't laughed so hard in a looog time.
  14. I had a small Christmas party at my house, just close friends and a few neighbors. I found a piece of Mistletoe lying on the ground in my yard. I hung it from the living room chandelier. A lot of killing and hugging went on that evening. Enough said.
  15. I guess it would depend on where the Dictator and the Mag cannon is in relationship to the box
  16. I read somewhere in the WIKI that Tanki was suppose to be futuristic. If so, then make it futuristic:
  17. My solution to gold box distraction: Remove the siren.
  18. If there is a gold box pile up and Magnum is on the bottom with the cannon sticking straight up, what happens to the turret or to the tanks who happen to be on top?

    I assume the player is talking about Firebird. At that rank, player should know the correct name of the turret. Unless English isn't the player's native language, in which case it may be called Fire Gun in his language just as Firebird is call Flamethrower in Russian. Overall, it seems this player has a vindictive nature towards the turret.

    What Was Your Reaction When You FIRST Saw a Gold Box?

    That was a long time ago. I stopped playing for a couple years because of domestic issues that were more important, though I came back occasionally and played a battle just to keep the account active. As I recall, when I saw my first gold box, it was falling very close to me. I started going towards it and was killed by Railgun. As I ascended towards the heavens on my way to rebirth, I saw someone else catch it. This was before the siren was added. Personally, I preferred not having the siren.

    Let's Discuss Isida!

    Thank you all for the help. I was beginning to have some doubts about my abilities. You have given me renewed confidence in my favorite turret. Yes, I should have ignored Egogun and his friend. Thanks again. Oh, by the way, the other battle I was asked to leave was a Legends CTF on Hill 4 vs 4 we were winning. But once we got a good lead, the whole team told me to leave. All of them had Titans and Mammoths and an Isida can only go for just so long. I tried to stay in that one, but when they saw I wasn't leaving me, 3 of my teammates started sabotaging me by pushing me off the map every chance they got. I finally left.

    Let's Discuss Isida!

    Maybe I should have stayed. It was a tough battle and I was constantly being bombarded by Firebird and Freeze. Don't most Isidas have a low K/D? I would think a team would welcome an Isida. So, why ask one to leave? In this case, the other team had an Isida and we were about evenly matched. When I killed the Isida, I didn't have much health left.
  23. I saw a woman in the store sampling mayonnaise. She opened up jars of different brands, dipped her finger in and stuck the sampling in her mouth. I tried to report her to the Manager, but by the time he got to me the woman was gone. I showed him the 2 jars I saw her sample, but didn't know if there were any others.

    Let's Discuss Isida!

    Gotta question for the group. I was in a no supply Pro battle on Polygon and a teammate was razzing me about my K/D being low. He said if I wasn't going to use the Isida, I should switch to something else. I told him that I was healing and killing. He called me a nub. I told him if I wasn't wanted my team, I would leave. Another teammate told me to leave. I did. Am I being too sensitive? Should I have ignored both players and stayed? This isn't the first time I've been asked to leave. Should I consider leaving the Isida alone and concentrate on Firebird? Isida/viking is my main combo. I use Isida 90% of the time. Any advice?
