I hardly think so, I've seen it too many times. Mostly at the low ranks. Tank jumps from a cliff, lands on its nose and onto the back. Then it flips over on its tracks like a Railgun tank on its side, only these tanks are on their backs, not the side.

Thought so. Wish I had gotten his name so I could keep an eye out for him. He was one shotting everything, except our Mammoth, which took 2 shots. I got a screenshot but it doesn't prove anything. I need to get a video.

Can these controls be used in regular battle? Reason I asked, I noticed in the controls "k" will flip your tank if upside down. I've seen tanks in regular battle be completely upside down and flip back over....even Firebirds and Freeze. Just asking.

Is it possible for an M3 Railgun to do more than 2700 damage without drugs? My M1 Titan (I know, I should have M2 I'm working on it) has over 2700 armor and was one shotted by a M3 Railgun even though I had just respawned and had 100% health.

First off, are we talking about "girls" or "ladies?" I left girlhood a long time ago. Personally, I find calling a mature woman a girl is condescending. Do you prefer to be referred to as a boy or a man?" Ok, back to your quote: You suggested carrying chili powder or spray. Are you talking about Mace or Pepper Spray? There is a difference. Then you suggested using the chili powder or "spray" when the hands and feet cannot be used for self defence. How do you propose to do that? See? Every word, phrase and sentence has to be scrutinized, leaving nothing to assumption. Sure, go ahead, carry pepper spray or mace. But be sure you know the laws in your country. Some countries have outlawed both. In the US, some States have outlawed it completely, while other States allow it under certain circumstances and even that can be overruled by some Cities. If you live in a State that allows Mace and/or Pepper Spray, then go to a State or Country that has made it illegal to own it and you use it in what you consider self defence, guess who's going to jail? You are, not the person you assumed to be an attacker. Let's say you are the one with the "spray." Someone comes at you, obviously in what you would define as "attack mode." You spray that person. In a Court of Law, the attacker can swear he only wanted to know the time of day and he got sprayed. Without any way to prove otherwise, you are the one in the wrong. Go directly to jail. So, you see, Sid, it's not all that simple. This subject matter is closed. I will not entertain you any further.

Since you are so persistent, I will answer your questions. As I said, I'm not a Teacher nor an Instructor. I will not give out advice that may get an inexperienced person hurt, maimed or killed because they tried out one of my suggestions and it didn't work. This is not a lecture forum. I know many styles of self-defence and can integrate the style of one or more with another. You don't learn that with a few sentences on a forum. Many years ago, my brother spent an entire summer teaching me just the basics of street fighting and defense. From there, I expanded my knowledge. Since you're asking me all those questions that I can't answer, let me ask you a few: 1...Can you read a paragraph about a sport and then go out and expect to win? 2...If someone told you (not showed you) how the bake a pie, could you turn around and bake a cake without any more instructions? 3...Could you read a book about wrestling and then go into the ring with a seasoned fighter and expect to win? You would be lying on the floor of the ring saying, "I don't know why I lost. I read a book about it." 4... Let's bring this a little closer to home. I don't know whether or not you're a Magnum user, I didn't look up your profile. There are two controls for aiming: Angle and Trajectory. If you bought this turret, read about it in the wiki, do you think you could land every shot perfectly first time out in the battle field with it? I doubt it very seriously. It takes time and practice to become proficient. With all this in mind, how could I even begin to tell someone about attack, counter-attack and defense in one or two paragraphs? I remember when my class got their green belts in Kung-Fu Karate. Our instructor told us, "You know just enough about the Art to get yourself killed. Don't use it. This is just the beginning." It takes about 2 years to get to the green belt. Why do you suppose he told us that? And yet you want me to explain attack, counter-attack and defense in a couple paragraphs. I'm not going to do it!!! So, let this be the end of it. Please. Every situation is different, action is different, reaction is different. One situation does not cover all situations.

Net worth? You thinking about buying them out? Good luck on that.

Thanks. Let me know what you find out.

1929 Model T Ford. Pictured is a Model A (couldn't find a decent pic of a Model T with original paint color and design) I bought it with restorations already started on the body, but there was a lot more to do. The engine and transmission had to be rebuilt, wooden dashboard, panel and floor had to be replaced. Electrical system was shot and had to be rewired. When I sold it, all that was left was the upholstery on the seats and doors, paint job and trunk interior. I was planning to convert the trunk into a rumble seat, but didn't get the kit. I hated to sell it, but I could no longer afford to sink more money into it. At time of sale, it was drivable and road worthy. I had an antique license plate on it and had driven it myself. Between the Model T and Model A are some slight difference in body style. The Model T had wooden rims and spokes.

On some of the maps you see the face of someone painted on a wall. Who is that guy, anyway?

This happened twice this week. After the battle is over and the score window comes up, it shows the score of the opposite team, but the team I'm on shows 0's all the way down. First time it happened, I was on the losing team. Second time, I was on the winning team. Never saw this before. Are the scores still registered and counted even though they can't be seen? Are the crystals still awarded? Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I wasn't experiencing any significant lag during play.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that a browser, etc. could be closed but you name can still be present. I thought once you closed the browser, all evidence of your existence disappeared, too. I don't know how long I was in battle, maybe a couple minutes. I got tired of being spawn killed and left.

I was just in a battle 8v8...Polygon CTF. One slot open was on the blue team. Score: 0-0. Everyone had a kill score. When I entered the battle, there were only 2 other players on blue, besides me. Total of 3. Where were the other 5 members of blue? Red was all over us like white on rice. They quickly made 2 flags. I died several times before I could get a shot off. Still no sign of the rest of my team, except the original 2, as I mentioned. As I respawned, I looked around for other blue bars, but just us 3. I thought if you paused, went to the garage or reloaded the page, your tank and health bar was still visible. How can you be in the battle and out of the battle at the same time? I know, I'm an old timer, but I guess I still don't understand.

Obviously, the block of cheese forgot it started out as a moldy block of cheese, as does all cheeses.

I don't know. Never been in that situation. My gut instincts won't allow it. One can only say what one "thinks" one would do. But when it comes down to experiencing that situation, one can only react according to how the situation presents itself. Your scenario has too many variables, too many X factors....Too many "What if...." that cannot be predicted. Besides, I'm not an Instructor nor a Teacher. What works for me may not work for someone else. I only know what I know and hopefully, that's enough to survive.

I'm not divulging my age. Don't worry, I was very well protected by knowledge, experience and, yes, I was armed. Would you like to meet "Prissy"? She'll make sure you will never contribute to the growth of the Human Race. Yes, I know the dangers of women being by themselves, that's why I made it a point to learn self-defense of many types. I'm a woman you don't want to mess with, especially if you get inside my space for other purposes than love and friendship. I tell people, "I'm like a cat. I'll purr in your lap, but don't corner me." I'm not antisocial. In fact, I'm very outgoing, I love to be around people. I love to laugh, I love to live, I love to love. Just don't trigger my defense mechanisms.

You re-read it. There are players who will make nonsensical posts/comments just to get their post count up. Nothing was said about Amins/Mods or anyone else. OP just wants to know if the community thinks playing video games is immature. Back on topic The post I made previously (#2) describes a close friend. I'm not going to go into any detail here, I don't have her permission. Let's just say there were a lot of devastating real life events that happened in a short span of time. She went into a deep depression, turned to gaming as a cathartic, and never really came out of it. Actually, she needs Professional help so she can move on with her life. She refuses to get that help because she doesn't want to face those tragedies again. It's the same as turning to alcohol or drugs to "forget." Worse part of it is, she lives alone.

This was a play on Firebird. It sprays you with napalm and needs flame to ignite. Reasoning: He was sprayed with water and in his warped tanki mind he was thinking it was napalm. His friend was about to light a lighter which would have ignited the presumed napalm. It's a parody.

Playing video games is not a sign of immaturity. The immaturity comes in when it takes over you life. Shirking responsibilities, breaking promises, ignoring real life friends, wishing you were home playing video games instead of having quality time with family, losing sleep, skipping meals spending the rent/grocery/bill money for upgrades so you can be more competitive in the games quality of work or grades declining because you're more focused on the gaming world than the tasks at hand you've become homebound or a recluse because of games, games games and more games amnesia....forgetting where the "off" button is. These are signs of an addiction right up there with alcohol and drug abuse. It controls you, you do not control it. Gaming addiction has become so widespread, there's Gamers Anonymous with it's own 12-step program. I think it starts with the immaturity to recognize the problem is budding so it can be snipped off before it blooms. Once it blooms, it becomes an uncontrollable vine that intertwines you and makes you a prisoner. Here's something to ponder: The digital matrix is the vine.

Your friend sprays water on you. You look down and think, "How come I'm not burning?" Your friend flips his BIC. You: Hey, man, don't do that. I'll catch on fire!!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You and your friend are walking through the park day after a heavy snowfall. Both of you are barraged by snowballs. You: Where did that Twin come from? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You're a Combat Soldier. Suddenly rockets start exploding all around you and your combat buddies. You: Stupid Magnum is op. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You and your friend (who is by now thinking you're a little weird) are walking down the sidewalk on a bright sunny day. You turn the corner and see the sun reflecting off a windshield. You suddenly dart back and grab your friend's arm and pull him back. Friend: What's the problem? You: Don't go out there!! Friend: Why? You: Do you want to get hit by Striker or Shaft? Either one will kill you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friend: You're getting a little too weird. You've got to stop playing that Tanki game.

Arm it with some nuclear warheads. When you see a big cluster of enemy tanks, your drone can dive right in the middle of them. Blow up all the tanks and enemy base, too. If there's enough of them on both sides, you can blow up the whole map. Game Over!!! Winners get to go home and the losers have to clean up the mess and put the map back together.

Here's one for Buyers and Non-Buyers: Buyers: Buy Overdrive button in the shop for 1 million crystals. When pressed, you become invisible. For Non-buyers: Buy Overdrive button under "special" tab for one crystal. When pressed, all invisible tanks on the opposing side explode and respawn at their base. If an invisible tank was carrying a flag, the flag will go back to the opponent's base. A player may have only one button, not both.

I'd like to go into the future to see if World War 4 is fought with sticks and stones as predicted by Albert Einstein.

Well. my name isn't Katy, but yes, I'm a woman and yes, I went by myself.....many times. There's a difference between women who depend upon men to protect them and women who have learned how to protect themselves. Once armed with knowledge and know-how, a woman can be a force to be reckoned with. It's embedded in our genes. In the days of early man, the men went out on the hunt to bring back food. They would be gone for days at a time. The women were left back at the camp or small village to protect the home and children from raiders and wild animals. Because of modern society, most women choose not to tap into that strength. i could go into a long dissertation about it, but space won't permit it. Most men would rather break up a fight between two men any day than to break up a fight between two women. That's because men fight according to the "rules", so they kind of know what to expect. Women ignore the "rules", which makes them unpredictable. Enough said.
