Another one, sadly, rather useless. From a mult's point of view: And a GG.

(Was it @GoldRock, by any chance?)

See Hamster's hijacked post.

Two more golds on alt, both worth 1k. The pictures are late because I was trying to get the subsequent golds (without success). I was a bit confused by the second gold. Bought Ant kit on alt, it's great! First battle:

Two golds so far. Didn't get a picture of the first one as it was 1k and I was scrambling for the other gold (which I missed thanks to a mult M1 BP who shot me when my DA rank out 1 second before the gold touched me). Second gold:

Interesting...

My Thunder is M4. It is definitely weaker than my other turrets, even though they are only M3.5 (20-30 MUs). Keep in mind that MUs are now level in terms of damage increase, so you'll be paying progressively more and more for the same boost in stats. Overall, compared to other M4s, Thunder comes out as a bit weak. It's still (very) good at DMs; however, it fails to become anything more than a camping weapon in team battles (compared to Smoky, which is quite good at assaulting the enemy base). I would save up for other kits. Seems like Cardinal, Redneck, or Guardian would fit you quite well.

Yeah but rare maps are nice :c

Not participating but I would suggest Solikamsk.

Found a friend.

One more gold: Current rating for golds: (First time I've broken 1000)

Two golds, both with Viking.

Intuition. It can be your best friend, or your worst enemy.

Devs said they were allegedly working to fix it, who knows when that'll be.

Apologies for the flood.

Then comes the first gold of this rank:

ty cake for attending Here is a significantly larger picture: Plus a battle just before:

Probably last gold before I rank up here.

Surprised (pleasantly, of course!) to get a gold on Kungur. Just joined to say hi to a friend.

There are numerous myths and half-truths circulating in the community. Some are true, some are not. Here we'll be going over a few of interest, and determining their veracity. Without further ado, let us move on to: Myth No. 1 Twins are best used with a brick. Confirmed. Myth No. 2 Gold boxes (may) cause fatal heart attacks. While it may seem that the high-stress conditions in the aftermath of a gold siren may lead to fatal cardiac arrest, thus far the victims of such (PURELY hypothetical!) events have failed to report them. Therefore it would be fitting to conclude that such events do not occur. Busted. Myth No. 3 XP is the best! Well known fact number 1: @GoldRock is a mult. Well known fact number 2: @GoldRock uses XP. ∴ XP is not the best. Busted. inb4logicalfallacy Myth No. 4 The @Night-Sisters' favorite paint is Blue. Preliminary results from heavy experimentation seem to indicate that their favorite paint is this: Busted. Myth No. 5 Dictators get all the gold boxes. Studies indicate that fly hackers have an unusual tendency of acquiring gold boxes with great frequency. (The same studies also demonstrated that fly hackers, quite mysteriously, end up blocked permanently most of the time. Children, don't throw away an account for 1000 crystals pls.) Busted. Myth No. 6 Test drives and personalized discounts exist. Eh, have you ever seen one? I haven't. Busted. Myth No. 7 Wasps can fly. Confirmed. Myth No. 8 Mammoths can fly. Busted. Myth No. 9 All Generalissimos are pros. Profile — Sarbor Ha. Busted. Myth No. 10 Lag is bad. What, are you telling me that you don't enjoy having everything freeze up for 10 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of compacted Twins fire slamming into your tank and hurling the unfortunate Wasp across Monte Carlo? The answer is obvious. Busted. Well, that's all for this installment. Stay tuned for more!
