  1. Yeah, right. You have 61 views and you want a list of 61 people. Besides the forum profile has very little information. User Name Member since (date) (and I don't mean "do you?") Last Active (date) (see above) Active Posts (number) Profile views (number) In your case 61. Happy reading. Age (unknown) Birthday (unknown) Profile (link) All one has to do is click on your name in the forum, lobby or in game to see that. Something you're ashamed of? Why would "girls" want to block/stalk you because of that? I only block those who spam the chat in the lobby and stalk no one. I fail to see your concern.

    New game mode and map suck...who else agrees?

    In game play, this very much reminds me of last year's map. The unbalanced complaints were exactly the same. The answer given to the imbalance was that it's a trade off. One time your team wins, next time your team loses, but it balances in the end. Meaning, you have to play red twice and blue twice for the balance to be realized. In last years map, the best game play was to have snipers hidden a long the route to kill or wound a flag carrier. Firebirds and freezes were hidden around buildings to race out and get the flag carriers from behind. You have to figure out the common routes and how much of the map you can cover with the snipers. Unless there is an imbalance of the teams, it doesn't pay to try to kill the entire team at their base. Besides, you get more points for killing a flag carrier than you do for one who is not.

    Campers

    It depends on the turret and hull of choice. Those camping with a close combat turret like firebird and freeze can be very boring and wasted team effort. Though, I have seen some critical plays made by camping firebird and freeze. But what about shaft and mammoth? You can't expect to see them on the front lines all the time. Once they start staring down that scope, they are easy prey. In arcade mode, the player has a tendency to panic and shoots prematurely, delivering very little damage, Another downfall is how slow and clumsy to turret is to return a counter-attack behind them. So, most of them camp. Then there's railgun. Yes, you find railguns on the front lines, providing there is cover so they can shoot, hide/retreat, reload, repeat. Some players are good at it, others aren't and have more of a tendency to camp. Then there are maps that are more conducive to camping. Get rid of the buildings and other hiding places and you ruin that kind of game play. There goes the snipers...the ones you are trying to get rid of. Isidas use buildings and walls for protection, too. I'd say they are the most vulnerable of all turrets simply because of their ability to heal. Good game play is to kill the Isida first and then the tank they are healing. If a team has 3 Isidas, then one can afford to camp near the base to heal the snipers protecting the base. Take away buildings and other hiding places and there goes some of the Isida players, too. So, now where are we? We've done away with shaft players (snipers), camping railguns (snipers), and Isidas (healing snipers and non-sniping tanks). So, what this really boils down to, is that you want to get rid of the snipers. Now, let's talk about firebird, freeze, and hammer camping. I've been in CTF battles where the score is very close and both teams are aggressive. Getting down towards the end, it's still anybodies game. Any one or two of the above mentioned turrets can turn the tide of the game by camping near the base flag. They can kill a damaged tank, preventing a capture. But they can't always kill a tank with 100% health, but they can still put a good hurt on them making them vulnerable to attacks on the way back to their base. (That is providing they don't heal, pick up a life pack, or meet an Isida team mate along the way). Nope, I don't think your idea will wash. In fact, I don't think it will get out of the laundry basket.

    I'm not sure what you're asking. 2000 UGX = approximately $0.56 (56 cents) in USD (0.559128) This is Ugandan Shilling conversion to USD.

    Starting your own business

    All these sound like promising enterprises. I wish all of you could see your dream come true, but I know that isn't possible for many people. But if at least one person could realize their dream, that would be absolutely fantastic. Good luck to all whatever your endeavors may be.
  9. I would suggest doing some research on your own. Use your search engine. I put in,"Cartoons that interest modern children" and got wealth of information. You may have to do a lot of reading to get an idea of what type of cartoons interest you. You might bare in mind that texting is bigger than verbal communication. As one teenager put it, "You can talk about the person next to you and they won't know it." I've seen older teens on a date texting each other back and forth instead of talking. More privacy, I guess. You have to decide which age group you are wanting to target. What subject matter you want to get across. Examples: Love, hate, helping others, gangsters, or maybe invent a Super Hero that fits today's society. If you are just starting out in the field of cartooning, you have a lot of research ahead of you. Obviously, you don't have any young kids of your own. But what about kids in your neighborhood? Maybe you can visit your local school and talk to some teachers or even the Principal. if your church has Sunday School or other children activities, go there. I'm an "oldster" who never had kids, so that's the best I can offer.

    1)...I completely restored a 1929 Ford Model A from the ground up, including the engine and transmission. 2)...1947 Willis Jeep 3)...Partially restored a 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Very little information was available. But since the advent of computers, more info is out there, but very little compared to other autos of that era. 4)...Helped in the restoration of a 1936 or 1937 V-12 Cadillac. 5)...Plus others that were partially restored and then sold to other enthusiasts. Cars that couldn't be restored (usually because parts weren't readily available) were cannibalized and sold for parts. I frequented the car show and swap meet in Hershey, Pa.

    stupid things everyone does

    You said "every tanker." Well, I'm here to tell ya, not every tanker has done what's on your list. On the other hand, if every tanker has done them, then you have done them all yourself. In which case, we have done some pretty dumb stuff, haven't we.

    How are you Feeling Now ?

    Very sad and elated at the same time. The sad: I just found out I have bone cancer in my right femur and have started radiation treatments. The elated: It's reversible.
  13. I have a long list of players in my "Friends" list, but none of them are Best Friends. Once in a while, someone on my list will invite me to join a battle, but it's usually to join the losing team with no hope of catching up. OR...A Gismo looking for cannon fodder.

    If you had the money and resources, what type of business would you open up? I'd open an Antique Car Restoration business. I've had some experience in antique car restoration and loved it.

    How Many Real Live Fights Have U Lost?

    I got in one fight in High School. It was a draw. One of the Teachers saw us fighting, broke it up and escorted us to the Principal's office. We had to apologize to each other and shake hands.

    Can you drive?

    Yes, for many years. Congratulations on getting you license. Just remember, not only do you have to drive for yourself, but you have to drive for the other guy as well. Not everyone on the roads are safe drivers. Defensive Driving is a must. Keep an eye on your rear view mirrors, even at the stop light. Not all accidents happen in front of you. If you see an accident happening or about to happen in back of you, you may have time to make a decisive move to prevent you from being involved. Stay safe, sober, and drug-free. You'll live longer.

    nicknames

    If you really are settled on "Frozen", try putting numbers or extra letters before or after it. I see some players have the year they started playing tanki at the end of their nickname. Some have put X's in front and behind. I don't know your gender, but try "Mr/Ms_Frozen." You can add Roman numerals after the name. "FrozenVI" for example.

    I see by your profile, you use Hammer and Hornet mostly. I suggest: "Hammerhead" (also a species of shark) "Hornet" "HammerheadHornet" (visualize that one)

    HACK OR PARKOUR?

    It's possible with parkour and the help of a friend or two by building a ramp of tanks. Watch some of the parkour videos on youtube.
  24. Twice this week, this has happened. I went through entire 15 minute battles. I killed a few (saw the red numbers and saw the kills) and died a few times as well. At the end of the battle, my score was "0". No wins no losses. I killed no one and I didn't die. Resulting in "0" crystals. What has caused this to happen?
