I have been inspired to write this thread based on the strong opinions displayed in Generalissimo Eliteists topic. I believe Generalissimo's absolutely deserve respect. They have put forth the time and effort to obtain the highest position available in Tanki which is no small task. I applaud you all for your efforts. As you all know with this highest of ranks they are afforded all the luxuries this game has to offer like the best weapons systems, ability to access every map and the adoration of the lower ranks that aspire to become part of the elite. Yes, I consider them to be the elite players of this game and they should be respected for their experience and the many hours, probably in the 1000's that they have invested. Even hard earned money in some cases also. As lower rank players we should be considerate of them wanting to test their skills against other elite players and not join a high rank game even though we have the right and ability to do so. We al know it can be frustrating when a low rank or "noob'" joins and has no clue as to what to do and even if they do, can not compete against superior weapons. I personally look up to the higher rank players in most cases because they are better players and have more experience than I do. So please lower ranks, try to respect that some times we are just getting in the way. How ever, this is where I am going to be critical. As a Generalissimo and any "high" rank player you do have the adoration of the lower rank players and you can really mess it up sometimes. As it stands now if a match is created and a particular range of ranks is allowed on occasion you will have lower rank players join. We lower ranks want to see you in action and learn from you. We are just as competitive and passionate about the game as you are. So please try to be more considerate of the little guy. It is understandable some of your positions on lower ranks joining your matches.Taking a disrespectful tone and talking trash to some one is just wrong and does nothing to improve this game. In conclusion, the higher ranks particularly the Generalissimo's do deserve our respect. With that respect comes responsibility though. We should all strive to leave this game better than we find it on a daly basis. That means treat each other with respect and be considerate of others. We all have the power to make this game better or worse for other players, the choice is yours alone. It is easy to be argumentative and negative to others and much more difficult to do the right thing. All the higher ranks in particular have demonstrated their ability to excel in this game and if you can do that then I know you can muster up the commitment to do what is right and make this game more enjoyable for all those that aspire to reach the same heights you have. As lower ranks we should do what is right also and be considerate of the higher ranks and their desire to compete at the highest levels. I know not all will agree and that is expected. This does not mean I want everyone to hold hands and have a big love fest either. Please by all means if you have a strong opinion about some thing or disagree with someone then make it known and debate your position with conviction but please try to be respectful about it.

I am not fighting, just stating the facts...I have said nothing that is "fight" worthy. I have no emotional ties to what I have said. It has all been a logical thought process. I believe I have not insulted any one here. I may have said things that sting but in no way was I trying to disrespect or insight a negative response from any one. I do understand your argument also, it does suck when you battle for a long time and some comes along and "ruins it" I am just saying try to think about it differently. The only thing you can truly control is the way YOU will respond to a particular situation. Think about it , YOU have the power to be upset or not when a "noob" joins the battle. The fact that it happened does not and will not change, only you can decide how you are going to react to it. Negative or positive .....you have the power brother....why get upset

I know you won't, because you have demonstrated your lack of respect for other people on this forum on many occasions so I don't expect much from you in those regards. I did though give you enough respect to read your entire post and come up with a response that was respectful and polite even if it was critical. :D :D :D :P Good luck and take care. No further correspondence with you is necessary.

You should ...it pertains to YOU

agreed

A pro is defined as being Paid for for the job they do. I know some of the players here consider them selves "pro" but that fact is, unless I missed something you are not being paid to play Tanki. Guess what?? if the game has in it's perimeters the range of available ranks then it is allowed for that rank to join the match. If you are such a pro then you should be able to account for a particular rank joining your match. When you join a match you know that a range of available ranks is allowed to join the game so all you high ranks that are complaining I submit YOU are the ones who willingly joined a game that supports those ranks so deal with it like the "pro" that you think you are. Remember ...YOU joined a match where the rank is allowed. YOU can see it as plain as day. If you are truly A "pro" then you should be able to make any adjustment that needs to be made to insure your victory. If you join a game where a particular rank is allowed and then cry about how they ruined your game then you are NOT a pro, in my humble opinion you are a crybaby (I am not calling you a crybaby in particular) So if you really are a pro then lean to deal with the perimeters of the game that YOU joined. Once again if all you high ranks don't like the FACT that a lower rank can join your game then submit to the feed back site to have General only matches. I will even help you submit it if you want.

This is what I am talking about. You missed the meaning of my message. You obviously take this GAME way to serious. Is it frustrating? yes, does it suck? yes. Believe me I feel your pain, I guess I just figure you win some and you lose some. I don't see defeat as failure, I see it as an opportunity to learn from the situation. Now you should know what to do. Get all the Generalissimo's together and ask the Dev's of this game to make it possible to have General only matches. I will accept that I can not join that particular match and move on. If there is an ability for me to join your game because of the range in ranks then expect those ranks to occasionally join your battle and make the appropriate adjustments.

MMMMM...now you made me hungry...where can one get these "Tards" and in such fabulous flavors. I must say a Blueberry Tard sounds quite appetizing right now as I am having a cup of coffee and I believe it would compliment my average cup O joe

The way I read LaserShark's comments is he knew there was little chance he would do well in a match with generals. He did not like the way he was treated just because he was lower rank and the comments he received. Any low rank joining high rank battle should expect to get schooled in battle, however just in case you people did not remember THIS IS A VIDEO GAME. It is meant to used for your entertainment and fun. Unless you are getting paid to be a professional Tanki player maybe consider YOU are the one with a problem, if you take this game so serious that it offends you a player joined a match you are in that is a lower rank. Maybe its time to take a break and get your priorities straightened out. If you higher ranks think it is so bad then all of you get together and suggest in feed back to have general only games. The game had a range that would accept his rank and he has every right to play in a match where his rank is accepted. If you don't like it, send it to feed back. Look I know you can get into a game and want to win and it can be frustrating when A "noob" does not seem to know what is going on but seriously we where all noobs at one time. I was just accused of being a noob by my own team mate a few days ago and it was a friendly game with all our team mates. Dude needs to take a chill pill and remember this is a game at the end of the day. I have been frustrated and said things that where not right so I am not trying to be "holier than thou" but I do try to be respectful most of the time and all you should try to do the same. Nobody is perfect and no one will agree with you 100% of the time but on this one I am 100% right. If the ability to join a game exist for you then it should be accepted that any player from the range of ranks for that particular game can and will join. This is a video game people...don't get wound up over a video game. There are many other thing that deserve that kind of intense attention, This is not one of them. P.S. you can make a battle private....just saying

LOL...I "Liked" this post too cause I can't like Archangel's (I like your post too flae)

:)

I believe the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible is what the future holds for humanity. Depending on what you believe this is either good news or bad news. I hope this is good news for any person who's eyes fall upon this post. If you do not understand what I am saying I challenge you to deeply investigate these things for your self. This is my personal belief. I do know this, in the immediate future we can make it better by treating each other in a way that is respectful, help people that you expect nothing in return. and smile more it is make others smile too

Awesome Archangel. You are an exceptional young man. I hope and pray all the best this life has to offer comes your way. I know I will meet you in heaven some day

Motto: I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon. If I can, I seek opportunity not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take calculated risk to dream and to build, to fail and succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the changes of life to the guaranteed existence and the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. Its is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid, to think and act for myself and enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, This I have done. All this is what it means to be an American My Creed Orin Chism

f works on my mac...maybe try the fn and f button I have to press fn + delete to self destruct

I like the idea. I would probably buy a NSBP if there was an abundant amount of matches to choose from on a single server. I have and most likely will again purchase crystals but I earn the majority I get. Earning back 5K in crystals seems like it would be easy for an active player. I bet if you just logged in every day you would get 5K in bonus to cover the expense of the pass.

Yes, It's a very expensive and very fast sports car. Considered a "super car" HYE had to fart in a crowded elevator?

I like to be right where I am at, at all times. If I am ever not where I am at then you will know I am not there and I am somewhere else. In that case it is prolly not a good idea to try and find me cause I will be where I am at, at that moment and not where I am now which is where I am at , at all times. Wait ....what?...if I am there then I am not here or there...Where am I again?

Your nick name says it all...totally inappropriate, especially for a thread called "Game Etiquette" in which you have none

That is awesome...the WO30 Express now heading to Tankiville.....Wooo Wooooooooooo chka chka chka

I got killed by 2 rails yesterday...they both shot me at the same time and made an X through me ...I don't know why but I thought it was cool looking. It spun me around too
