Seen this a few times; they have enough time to quite the battle before they die, and then re-enter with the same score. A bit like the Thunder's who suicide when they are close to death...

Kiwi? Yes. Looking for a clan or team? No. But good luck!

A bunch of people found themselves stuck in high rank battles without the skills to be there. Status is -and should be - earned, not bought.

No, I'm Sparticus

Oh - and physics is actually awesome. Lasers! Tesla Coils! Cats in boxes that are alive and dead at the same time! Time slowing down as you approach light speed! Superconductors floating on magnets drenched in liquid nitrogen! They just don't let you loose on the interesting bits yet.

Math is only annoying when its taught in a boring, stagnant way. Don't blame the subject - blame the teacher!

A paint? What protection level?

Just had a decent FF game in stadium with a 50-flag limit. Few accidental frags with rail-guns but generally hard/fairly fought. Although one (low rank) guy on the other team was trying to tell everyone what to do all the time - pretty sure that didn't work out so well for him....

France. But she didn't like it :(

Um - it won't. Life in the year 2500 will be just as different to today as life in the year 1700 was. Which is a little scary....

According to the 2011 census : 53,012,456 people - or did you mean "How many people are English on Tanki" ??

Those kids who do get all this stuff, study hard, learn how to remember stuff and think for themselves? Laugh at them now, because that's the only chance you'll have. They will define the future - like Gates, Jobs, Zuckerman, and others - and you will live in the world they design. If you think they got to where they are without great memories, good language skills, a knowledge of what went before them and the ability to do maths in their heads, you are sadly mistaken. You *are* right on PE, though. :-)

If you bought your way to rank (not fought your way to it) then you'll wind up in battles with people with more practice and more skill. Good luck with that.

Gifting XP has more problems - what happens to the hulls, weapons and paints you have unlocked if you down rank?

If you lost rank, what would happen to any weapons, hulls and paints that you had unlocked with rank?

Yeah - right. Let me know how that works out for you! Half the time you wind up redoing the job anyway - these are kids, don't forget. Its more about raising them to know they can get whatever they want out of life by their own efforts, rather than blaming others....

When my KIDS want something that costs money, they OFFER to do stuff round the house for $1 or $2. My youngest just saved up $40 for something this way in a few weeks.

And the minimum age on the Forum is 16. Just saying.

Why would you try and fight it out inside Twins range? Of course you'd lose. That's like comparing Freeze to a Railgun.

Drive "through" a tank as it is respawning and drop a mine. Poor little lambs don't know what hit them when they become "solid." Hello - BOOM - Goodbye

Battlezone - both the original arcade and the Activision PC game. Changed. Gaming. Forever.

So - you'd have all the high ranked druggers lined up waiting to join in the game at 19'10", and diving into the crystal drop zones, right? Yeah - but nahhh.

Um - what would happen if you couldn't make a payment? Lose the hull and all the crystals you paid? Like real life?

If it wasn't for supplies then buyers - of guns, hulls and paints - would always win. Ban drugging and you'd have to ban upgrades too, right?
