I'd say a few things: 1. The Paints update is indeed great, one of the only good updates since the beginning of this year. 2. Semyon - the word access is pronounced with a stress over the first syllable - you should say ACcess. The way it was said made it sound like the word excess, which is dead different. :D 3. The whole business with Smoky was a little too boring.. First of all, Alex has already made the same Advice Clip a few months ago over the same exact topic. Second of all - every damn tanker who's smart enough to know the V-LOG exists is also smart enough to know how to use Smoky in order to knock off enemies' aim. 4. About the Video of the Week, this Wasp & Fire player really did play great. Only one problem - good as he may have been, the Zeus Viking guy had already lagged through the edge of the Gold ages before that guy took it. All in all - not exactly the best Tanki V-LOG I've ever seen, and I didn't expect it to be so. :mellow:

On the video they put on top of the blabbing on the CP changes, the Viking-Smoky on the Kungur scene lagged through the DA :D I must say that really made me laugh.

I don't play Tanki almost at all, but this time - GG. :D I have antagonized Tanki's updates not once nor twice, but that update really seems to be good.

Zenith - same thing can be done (it'll be wrong, but it's the same logic fallacy) with exponents: 3^0 = 1 = 4^0 Get the 0th root out of everything, and: 3 = 1 = 4. Your mistake is that many algebra techniques don't apply to 0. Taking roots out of equations' sides, factoring, dividing, and many more. 0 can't be a factor.. Common sense can tell you the same. ? According to that, all real numbers (and perhaps imaginary too) are the same. I mean, any real number other than zero equals one when raised to the power of zero. In fact - to all the math geeks around, I have a question to which I haven't ever found a clear answer, and I like debating about: What's i to the power of 0?

No problem :) Some Ibanez's are good, but I most like Fenders: Stratocaster's my favorite, Telecaster's next, and after those comes the Gretsch White Falcon.

Nope. In my opinion - Les Paul is garbage, SG is garbage, ES335 is garbage, all Gibsons are garbage. :mellow: :D

You were the smartest of us all - instead of wasting your entire time on Tanki, you really enjoyed your holiday :D

Sorry for not attending to your Wasp & Fire guys, I saw it too late (as I'm not so active as before). Anyways, had a pretty decent time yesterday, with 8 Golds taken and 1 relatively good reward:

When there isn't a Dislike button to press..

Great

Sorry to say, but this article is literally full with logical holes and inconsistencies. 1) "The right to do what you want with what belongs to you". There is such a right, but there are cases in which it doesn't apply - for instance, in most countries around the world, not employing someone only because of his race/skin color/gender/you-get-what-I-mean, is forbidden. Although the employer has a business and the business is fully his, his rights on it aren't completely free. I'm not suggesting Tanki is racist, of course - it's just an example for the fact that what you've said is a big generalization with too many exclusions to be considered right. 2) "What’s evil is you demanding that someone give you something at his own expense. That is the definition of theft.". Absolutely wrong. The definition of theft is someone taking something which does not belong to him and isn't in his possession at the time, against its owner's will and/or without his agreement. That's why, if you go into my home and I give you its papers (so that the house is yours), it won't be theft - there's a major factor in theft which is the lack of agreement and will from the one who's being stolen from. 3) "Tanki employs people who work long, hard hours to keep this game online, secure, and fun. And whether you like it or not, they need to eat.". Wrong, too. Firstly, you can use this slogan (yeah, that's called a slogan) also on every major increase in the price of anything. Secondly - no one in this Forum has ever said that the Developers don't need to make a living or that they shouldn't implement in the game some exclusive-to-buyers features. We've all just said that it's impossible to decrease discounts and make the game a whole lot easier for buyers, AND ALSO to expect us to be satisfied. Have you ever heard of anyone being happy about a price of anything rising? No. That's life. 4) "What about your parents, tanker? Are they evil for going to work and slaving away all day so that you can sit on your butt from sunup to sundown and stare at this screen, belly filled with food? I mean, they do exactly the same thing Tanki does: they charge money in exchange for goods or services. That sounds like... work! Labor! A concept you should try sometime. It’s actually very rewarding.". Yet another meaningless slogan. When someone works and is employed somewhere, it's because the services he gives are at its consumer's expense. You can compare it to games on Steam or Origin which you must buy (or crack, but that's something else). Tanki's motto is that it's a Free Online Game. Be it that it isn't completely free - it's more and more becoming in favor of buyers and hard on non-buyers, which is the exact opposite of what this motto imposes. There are some more points, but I decided to stop here and let you respond before continuing.

Thanks for letting me know :) I did it through my phone, so it was harder to see what I was doing..

Well, I don't think they can ban him for the copying itself, only for flooding... Anyways, only now did I have enough time to read all new posts here, so upvotes have been given :)

Just like the Duet Masters thingy, this tournament is gonna be one big failure. Only one difference - this time also RU, DE and BR are gonna be there.

I guess he was one of the mults, purposely equipping stupid things.. :P

Well.. I was waiting on the Bridge, and all the others were around the long blockade to the bridge's left. When the Gold started dropping I went and tried to block them a little forward from the stamp - and they succeeded pushing me, right onto the Gold :) And of course they didn't stop pushing me, so I'm seen quite far from the Gold :) Ugh :mellow: I also find myself playing a lot less that I used to play when I was, say, a Brigadier or a General.. Anyways, see you ;)

I've taken the only Gold I've seen today, about 30 minutes ago. Monte Carlo CTF :)

It takes over a month for every play who has a life.. It isn't outstanding. My point is that 279 Repair Kits are great, even if it's for such a work. I have a Kills mega mission (it has a Crystal reward, but still) and i haven't played more than usual (even less than usual). I've done 5k of those Kills in about 2-3 weeks, so it isn't THAT hard.

Just after I said I hadn't caught a Gold for ages, I caught 2 Golds :D One was pretty easy to catch, in Rio: The one below was in Kolhoz. Just a minute or two before I took it, a Gold fell in the same spot. I did exactly the same (used the ramp to get on everyone), and the Anti Cheat caused me to Self Destruct :mellow: In the same battle fell another Gold, but my team was 9-0 in flags, while the limit was 10, so 10 seconds after the Notification came, some noob captured a flag. Don't change it. I've already done a Mega-Mission with Repairs as a reward (though it was a 10k XP mission, not a kills one), and I can tell you it's worth it. I remember myself hating Gismo druggers and saying that they had the choice to drug and chose to do so because they are noobs. Now as a Gismo I understand that players drug since they have nothing else to do (I drug a lot too, since I'm tired of being killed by other druggers). Repairs are of course the most sought drug, so you shouldn't give 'em up in my opinion. Your choice, but in your place I'd keep the mission.

I haven't seen you around here for some long time.. Good to cya come back again ;) Anyways, I hardly played at all Tanki lately since I'm studying for the Global Round Championship of World Scholar's Cup (it consumes some serious time :)), because I prefer Flight Simulator X when all you can do in Tanki is drug, and because I ain't so lifeless.

Please, it doesn't impress when you just write silly things about immaturity and mommas.. Just like I wrote in clear language and logically - rebuttal logically too. Without all those stupid slogans, answer directly to the point to each and every thing I said.

You are just distorting what I said. I didn't mean that I would be too lazy to read - I clearly meant that when having over 10 pages of comments, it's a lot more useful and effective to see in numbers who likes an update and who dislikes it. By a simple click, a player could imply whether he liked it or not, and without the Staff needing to read an entire passage or longer, they'd just see which button did the player click, if at all. Like I said - learn how to read and to understand the idea behind what you read. That might help you. I do respect the fact that you're in this forum a lot more than me, and know about it more than me, but I disagree with you. Without looking at all the explanations that were given for or against this update - don't you see a clear connection between the dissatisfaction Tanker's Day caused (hence the innumerous downvotes) and this update? I'm willing to bet on any body part you choose that this update is a direct result of the great response against the greediness of Tanki. I agree that players tend to follow the masses, but I think that in order for an opposition to grow against an action the Staff does, there must be something beyond that. I think that as some suggested, it would be great not to be able to view voting results until you've downvoted or upvoted an official post. Thing is - do you seriously believe that 481 (that's the number that was there the last time I checked) downvoted would have been done just because of following the masses? Do you believe that such angry comments on the endless hunt of the Developers after money would just come without any reason? Even if what you're saying about following the masses is right - someone has to START those big masses, and those who started those masses had a damn good reason.

Just like TNT said, the fact you write in a huge font and in those colors does indeed draw attention to your posts, but it doesn't impress me and probably not anyone else. Just one thing to say in response to the text behind the huge letters - it's quite a shame that a person using Downvotes for the wrong purposes says that he's angry about the wrong use of it by others.

I don't know whether to cry or laugh.. Have you even read what I wrote or just thought I said exactly what Slyclever did? I didn't say anything about not bothering to read. Take care of your brain and your eyes, plus - learn how to read. You might find it helpful.
