A SURPRISE ATTACK WITH ARTICLE #7! I may have said there wouldn't be any new articles for some while, I decided a three week wait was enough, so I decided to take a bit of time to write a short article about teaming. Unfortunately, The Rabbit Tanker would be to long to write at the moment. I can't promise anything, but in the future, maybe around New Year, the Rabbit Tanker - Part 4 will be out. But again, no promises, it might come out before or maybe after. In the meantime, I'll try my best to right short little articles like the one I just wrote. Don't forget to post comments in the General verion of article #7: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=229453 Stay tuned tankers!

I started this discussion because usually when I team with someone, someone tells me that I shouldn't. What I would like to say clear off the top is that I'm not trying to say teaming as in "helping the opposite team" (Pushing your team-mate off the side so they won't capture the flag, helping the other team kill members of your team etc.), because that is clearly stated in the Tanki Online Rules. What I am trying to figure out here is if you can simply team with someone by not destroying that person, and they do the same back to you. I would say that it's perfectly allowed. Why? Because let's say a tanker on the blue team has Railgun equipped and isn't fully loaded yet. Then he or she passes a tanker on the red team but still isn't loaded, so therefore he/she can't shoot (simple logic). So what's the difference if he/she is loaded or not, in both cases he/she isn't shooting the other tank. UP TO THIS POINT WE SAY TEAMING IS ALLOWED. But there is one problem... In CTF (Capture The Flag) Let's say a tanker from the blue team is carrying the red flag and a tanker from the red team spots the blue tanker with the red flag, but now let's say both these tankers are teamed, and since he/she is teamed with the tanker with red flag, he/she can't shoot and destroy him/her. So until now, teaming wasn't hurting anyone, but now if he/she doesn't shoot the tanker with the flag, he/she might capture it and that effects the whole team. So now we have a problem. UP TO THIS POINT WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TEAMING. But there is a simple answer to this. Make it that you can't shoot the tanker yu're teaming with, but when that tanker is holding the flag, then you are able to shoot him/her. UP TO THIS POINT WE SAY TEAMING IS ALLOWED. But now I have a question that I have no answer to, so therefore, I want you, the reader to try and give me an answer. Right now we are saying that this kind of teaming is not hurting your team, but let's say that the person you are teamed with is destroying a member of your team. Now if you don't help you team mate out by destroying the person you're teamed with, then you effecting/hurting your own team. UP UNTIL THIS POINT WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TEAMING. I know I said I have no answer but I'll tell you what I meant by that in a bit. The only answer I can think of is, that there are two possibilities: That you can team with someone in any mode (DM,CTF,TDM,CP), but when that tanker is destroying a member of your team (In any mode except one which we'll see in a minute) or capture a flag (in CTF) or capture point (in CP), then you're allowed to kill that person. This answer not a lot of people would like, including myself, because it can get a bit annoying in battle so let's see the second answer. This answer is quite simple, teaming should be prohibited in every mode, except for DM (Death Match). Why? Because in DM, you aren't hurting anyone by teaming since there are no real teams anyhow. ​UP UNTIL THIS POINT WE SAY TEAMING IS ALLOWED (BUT ONLY IN DM). But now I'll explain to you why I said I didn't have an answer. I said that because I meant I didn't have a good answer to why you can team in any mode without disturbing your own team at the same time. So I want you to think of answer and post it below! See you in the battle field! :) Yisroel.Rabin's Articles: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=220282&page=1

Pretty good if you ask me. :P

Good TDM with a few friends ^_^

Good Game With Pros :) Most of my kills were from mines :P I'm always a miner in Noise. ^_^

:O It comes with Green paint, always wanted that! :D

That makes 3 xD

Very unlikely. We just had a Viking -70%.

I figured out about the forum when I really badly wanted to reply to Update 220 — Reworked Maps and Madness, and try to tell Tanki how much I hated it. :P So I kept asking in chat how to get to the forum and other random questions, when some Generalissimo told me. As you can even see on my profile, complaining about that update was my first ever post, but then I started to discover more and more about the Tanki Online Forum and that's what brought be to this very topic today. :)

I support this idea.

Then this a perfect way to get the crystals for it. :)

Nice topic :), I didn't know there already was a topic about the VK crystals, so I made one myself :P Check it out. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=228972

I wish you all an awesome Halloween! You shall be blessed to get lots of candy, and that you don't get haunted by a ghost or attacked by a monster. I wish you with hundreds of gold boxes and other goodies.

Sounds great. Can't wait for the map and gold boxes, also might buy some drugs or something.

Congratulations.
