Well, if you have enemies on your tail, you could turn your turret and finish 'em off while driving..... Now, if you want to continue this conversation, do it in a PM please

Mesh flubewsjkbfkd,

Not exactly stop, I was thinking more along the lines of 'turn your turret while passing and give him the old one-two and speed off, waiting for someone else to finish him off, giving you some points. Anymore and I'll be writing a guide to Isida :/
-
IKR :lol: PS I mentioned doing both attacking and defending with Isida. Hm.... maybe I could have added a stereotype titled 'all noobs think of others as noobs'.
-
Because you wouldn't like it if someone force-fed you valium. Why do people call me TNT?
-
Well, I understand and respect your point, but as I said, this is based on my opinion, and in my opinion, Isida is definitely an attacking turret. You'd have noticed that I called Isida a 'versatile' turret and not an attacking one, but instead just listed out the advantages one has when attacking with it. Well, one can destroy enemies and heal teammates even when having the flag..... are you telling me you blindfold yourself and make a beeline for your own base once you've taken the flag? :lol:

Busting Tanki's Stereotypes
TriNitroToIuene replied to TriNitroToIuene in Busting Tanki's Stereotypes Archive
BUSTING TANKI'S STEREOTYPES I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack! *slight drumroll* Well, I ain't gonna write one of those huge, looping articles I usually write. If you want a big 'un from me, feel free to downvote. This article is about the beliefs many tankers have in the game, such as - um, read on to find out. Well, it's pretty sad for people to be following such stereotypes as if their life depended on it, and not budging an inch, nor paving way to common sense. This often affects one's gameplay and leads to poorer results. So in this article I present to you.......... stereotypebusters! First of all, I request all of you to please understand the meaning of 'stereotype' - Stereotype (plural stereotypes) A conventional, formulaic, and often oversimplified or exaggerated conception, opinion, or image of (a person). Well, that's out of the way. I feel it's time you got your article! #1 - 'Heal Isida plz' This is the most unfair thing that has happened to a turret since Railgun was assumed as a 'laser shooter' - that Isidas exist to do their teammates' bidding. Since times immemorial we have characterized Isida as a healer - one that can earn XP and crystals only by healing teammates. That is so wrong. Isida is a dynamic gun - it heals pretty well, but it is built for the frontlines. You try equipping Isida with Mammoth and not chuck the keyboard at the monitor. Isida is a gun which can kill enemies twice as fast as it can heal teammates (it's proven, check the Wiki for that) and can earn you loads of points through kills and flag captures. And if you meet a teammate in need along the way, so much the better for both! I used to use Isida as an attacking gun even in the Sergeant-Major times, and believe-you-me, I used to top every single battle. Especially in maps like Highland and Silence, you'll have plenty of teammates and enemies at your disposal. You can get into bases really fast, and due to the fact that you gain health on killing enemies, you'll have that extra HP in your bar - the HP that matters. So, next time you hear someone saying Isida is built for healing, BUST THE STEREOTYPE! #2 - 'Gold Box pls Admin' Possibly the most irritating lines one hears in the chat nowadays, those four words represent yet another stereotype - one which almost every mature player has tried - and failed - to break. See, noobs nowadays have the beliefs that the admins drop the gold box. How their brain manages to stretch to accumulate such an illogical statement is a scientific miracle. You see, in desperation for gold boxes, they overlook the fact that it's dropped randomly, and hence sit around begging for the gold, becoming a liability to their team. In fact, when someone tries to explain that the gold box drops when the battle fund goes especially high, they say stuff like 'the battle fund is already 722. Go home nub. Gold box plz admin'. So let me clear this once and for all - admins never did, do not, and never will drop gold boxes in other battles. Of course, they could drop it if they wanted, but they won't do it in your battles! You want to have that fantasy, go to the test server. The gold box is dropped instead by a mechanism in the game's coding (for further information, contact Tanki's Developer Office). Anyone can get the gold box in any battle, yes, even that nug 1vs1 Ping-Pong DM you just created! So next time you see somebody begging for gold boxes in the chat, BUST THE STEREOTYPE! #3 - 'No kill on gold box' That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot of stupid things lately. That phrase was mainly invented in battles where people could actually communicate in the same language and knew how to use the chat, to look chivalrous and give everyone an equal chance to catch the gold. But now, who in Tanki gives a damn to that sentence? As soon as you locate the spot, kill everyone around it. What matters more to you, 1000 crystals or not getting abuses from noobs who're going to abuse you once you get the gold anyway? In fact, people who say 'no kill' are showing signs of weakness, they resort to desperate methods to get gold boxes. In fact, once you get to the spot, they'll kill you saying 'that sentence applied only to you!' So next time you see somebody telling you not to kill anyone when the gold falls, BUST THE STEREOTYPE! #4 - 'Drugger noob' Okay, another sign of desperation - calling frequent users of supplies 'drugger' and 'noob'. First of all, 'drugger' is considered a really offensive term in the real world, and calling someone a drugger is like abusing him. When someone sees another tanker using drugs, he or she feels jealous of them for having so many supplies and abuses him or her hoping for even gameplay. Well, that term would still be applicable before Smart Cooldowns got released. But, nowadays, it's hardly fair to call such a person a 'drugger'. Now, if we see three supplies activated on a tanker, it's not just a matter of pressing 2, 3 and 4, but that the latter is smart enough to combine garage supplies and pickups. So, far from a noob, he is in fact, more adept at the game than the person who is abusing him. If you want even gameplay, learn to pick up supply drops, and then criticize anyone you want. So next time you see somebody calling another tanker a drugger for having 3 supplies active, BUST THE STEREOTYPE! #5 - 'You get maximum crystals in Polygon CP' Oh, hell no. We all know that we love playing Polygon CPs and half the servers in the game are loaded with the same, but to to call it the best map for crystals is a little too far-fetched. Polygon CPs just provide a little extra adrenaline (and for those who have read my previous articles, goldamine) so that we enjoy ourselves more. Hence, we end up playing longer battles, and our rewards go up. Subsequently, people start calling it the 'land made of crystals'. However, the same can apply even to other maps (take for example, that the TWR for highest reward was set in a Dusseldorf TDM). If you enjoy playing in the map and can play it well, anything is possible. In fact, the maps in which I get the highest rewards are Silence and Future. So you see, good rewards can be obtained in any battle, as long as you show skill in the game and a passion for the map. So next time you see somebody over-praising Polygon CPs, BUST THE STEREOTYPE! *** Okay, so that's it from this article. I busted five stereotypes according to my train of thought, and hopefully opened the community's eyes towards the real truths in the game. I know some of you will disagree with some of my points (including the part where I said this is going to be short), so feel free to comment below! Till next time, this was TNT. See you in the battlefield! (That is, till I get high-speed internet again)- 46 replies

[Forum Game] Deciphering the Nonsense!
TriNitroToIuene replied to TriNitroToIuene in [Forum Game] Deciphering the Nonsense! Archive
I basically created this game for fun :P. The main motive of it is to form a sensible word out of utter gibberish. Here's an example - Player 1 - pibsofin[pakibovfjksjltg\ Player 2 - Pong jbgo;isabgiob''na'g Player 3 - job s'bgtosl;agb;aorgn ;t ...... And so on. REMEMBER - One important rule is that you can only use words in their order. Meaning, if you get a gibberish dbikbkkjshvjkhFVkjshvg. Use only consecutive letters. In this case I'm making the word 'dibs', so in the gibberish, d comes first, then I is second, b is third and s is fourth. You can't rearrange the words. kgb;sdkblogjblbldskbglkbonjkdrtn - born (correct) - noobs (wrong) And guys, put some gibberish out of which someone can actually form a word, not just consonants. This'll be interesting, have fun! First line of gibberish - sshfvljkshf jvfukzbbdkgbgbsdjvflkajsbf -

Okay, here's an idea.

How on earth can you change your equipment that fast? :huh: Your grammar is good. You could just vent your feelings through an article called 'Why we shouldn't have gold boxes in the game' and BAM! You're well on course to become a reporter. Although once you get there pls write articles on other topics also :P
