Aside completing Crystal Missions (and changing Drug-Reward Missions), simply play no less than 2 hours a day (if you're so desperate to increase your income). At your rank, battle rewards of 30-minutes long battles or longer aren't that bad, so they'll help you maintain a good income.

Quite a long time since my last Gold, but time's come :) It was on a silly Silence CTF :D

Another crazy ILS Landing in Microsoft Flight Simulator, this time at Schiphol Intl. The plane is a Boeing 737-600. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyS6yrtm8WI

Good luck :) Both to you and to Juju - I understand your frustration. I haven't experienced this bug to my memory, but I've had enough other bugs and failures in TTT and AE. Anyways, I doubt the direction will really matter.. I realize that if you place a spawn point near an edge of the map, and because of a bug it's directed so that the spawned Tank faces outside the map, it's irritating, but I think the judge/s won't murder you while you're asleep just because of that :P

Well, just plan ahead and tell us here too... Time zones are quite messed up, but I'm sure that most would be able to participate with no problem. Anyways, I know you have some time, but I'm already looking forward to your Gismo Rank-Up Party. Just so that you know - for me, the most suitable times are at around 13:00~17:00 UTC+0.

Great Golds :) Please, for god's sake, make a party for your Generalissimo rankup.. It's once in a lifetime (unless you're so bored you raise a second account to Gismo), and should be celebrated accordingly... ;)

There is such a topic, but it's quite dead to my taste and I think we better start a new one before the old one's closed.

^ I wrote everything above thinking to use it as the introduction to the topic, and only then did I realize that most people would intelligently run away when seeing its length so I put it into a spoiler :) Bottom line - I entered Tanki today, saw the noobish Daily Missions, and said "I'ma go to Flight Simulator". While landing the beautiful (but somewhat buggy) Boeing 737-800 at Heathrow Intl, it suddenly occurred to me - "Why not share my sick obsession with flying planes with the rest of the bored Tankers lying around?" :D I stopped the plane on the runway, and then went back to the beginning of the descent and recorded the final moments of the landing in order to share them with you :) The spoiler below IS NOT gonna be uncongenial in any way, you should not take it seriously, and it's completely unnecessary and exists only to entertain you. So here's the Flight Recording I blabbed so much about :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKSSNEmGMEk Unlike what many folks think, landing a plane is one of the really hard parts of the flight, probably the hardest, and with all the technical information, I accidentally set the autopilot and everything to land on one Runway, and asked (and received) for a clearance (from the Air Traffic Control) to land on a completely different Runway. But you can enjoy :P (here you can say "bruh" because now I will flood your brain with Technical things: ILS Approach, Course Bearing selection, Transponder Tuning, NAV1 Navigation Radio Tuning for Approach, Glide Slope, Landing Lights, Landing Gear :D)

Actually, I'm not really sure if the library dedicated to this Contest includes Drop Zones... I'm used to have them easy to access, built in, but that's only in the full regular library. Anyways - I haven't thought to check whether Drop Zones are included since it didn't quite occur to me that they should (or shouldn't, depending on Viking's reply) be included :)

Viking - I've already submitted my map, but only now it occurred to me: Do we need to place Drop Zones? I made everything in the map - Spawn Points and of course Props, but I didn't take care of Dropzones... Is it required?

I'll be glad to take part in the Rankup party :) I sent you a request, and anyways whenever you know please tell me whether it's gonna be today (Monday) or Tuesday, because sometimes I get sick of Tanki and go to Flight Simulator X, and I should be online so that you'll be able to invite me :D

It's great you finished a Gold mission, but personally I think that Gold Missions aren't worth it, especially when the reward is Drugs (as you had). If I were you - on future occasions, change any Gold mission you get unless you have a worse mission (that gives you less than 1k Crystals). and of course, do not pay Crystals to change a Gold mission :D Don't get me wrong - the mission and the Gold were awesome, but Gold Missions aren't worth their rewards.

Reported. Anyways, who in hell are you and why are you antagonizing me? Are you drunk or anything?

Titan is love :wub: That was my first Gold with Titan M2 (I bought it yesterday), taken at a Polygon CP :)

Only now I had the time to take a screenshot of my 2 Mega Missions :)

Santa Monica

I bought Smoky M3 (had it M2 previously), Isida M0>M3 and Ricochet M0>M3. And I took today my first Gold with Smoky M3, and later missed 2-3 other Golds with my new Rico. EDIT: When I logged in I got some mission to collect Nitros. It gave Crystals (those missions I usually don't change), but I just had it up and changed it. The new mission is a 99,999 XP Mega-Mission with 67k Reward :D And I already got a 9,999 Kills mission (83k Reward) a week or two ago, so I have now 2 huge sources of Crystals to work for. [i don't have the mental powers to log back into Tanki and make a screenshot of the Mega Mission, I will do it tomorrow] :P

I took only 1 of the special Golds today; at a Camp CTF XP/BP :) Anyways, because of the greedy staff and the reduction in the discount, I'm gonna have to give up on one of the items that I was intending to buy and should've had enough for if the sale were the fair and regular 50% :angry:

"Sir" :D We Gismos just started wasting our time in Tanki later than you have, that's all :P Anyways, your equipment isn't the problem. It's just that Generalissimos can't enter a battle with Lieutenant ranks, meaning we can only help you rank up for the contest by using Alternative accounts.

That was one big speech... Kirby - I must say I've never known you personally or anything, but I've read some of your articles, and it's gonna be one big loss for the Newspaper... On the other hand, just like I thought, players are (rightfully) starting to leave the game. I know your reasons are justified, but it still makes some of us sad that you leave :( May you have luck in real life, and may our ways cross again in better times.

Well, you have enough time, so I guess you can rank to Major and get just about to Lieutenant Colonel and video the LT Colonel rankup... That shouldn't take too long, I guess..

As much as I know from previous years, Generalissimos can participate in the contest. If a team wins the contest, the prize is divided among all its members, hence those that helped too - not only the one that actually ranked up :D But I have no objection to help you rank up, if it fits my non-existent schedule.

It's just disgusting and revolting, the way that Tanki staff only searches and chases every Dollar in the world... I knew it was coming, but it still makes me angry and frustrated more than usual :angry: If something - I understand the economical state Tanki is in, and I wasn't expecting Double Funds every weekend this year like the last year, but ruining Tanker's Day, probably the most discounted sale in the entire year, is just making me wanna cry for Semyon. Seymon and all Tanki Staff - it may have been a wise step on your part to remove Crystal Boxes and almost every thing that gave us players Crystals, but ruining Tanker's Day, one of the most sacred discounts Tanki has - that was too stupid. I bet that at least 5 guys around the EN and DE communities only will declare on retiring from Tanki, and if I'm wrong I'm willing to cut my thumb off, pack it, and send it all the way to Perm, Russia. Just disgusting.
