Yeah, me too on my CP work. Thanks you guys. :D

This is not the right section to create topics addressing these. But there's a topic devoted to this, please search in the clan section.

See the first post. :)

You can become one of us.

A turret or hull is graded on how they perform in the three types of battles: Small maps (Like Island), Medium Maps (Sandbox, Polygon etc) and Large maps (Kungur & Dusseldorf etc..). Although Railgun performs poorly in small maps, it doesn't get the point but in medium and large maps, it plays fine enough to gain a point, meaning it can be terrific in that kind of battlefield only if it's user is. :)

Who was Boris Nemstov?

I read about him.

Yeah!

It performs poorly in small maps. :)

I'll add Hunter, sorry.. The grading system was based on its performance in three types of maps.

They all sit-down and begin eating a fine meal. The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making her eyes water. Left with no other choice, she decides to relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty little fart. It wasn't loud, but everyone at the table heard the poot. Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend's father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing at the women's feet, and said in a rather stern voice, "Ginger!" The woman thought, "This is great!" and a big smile came across her face. A couple minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again. This time, she didn't hesitate. She let a much louder and longer fart rip. The father again looked at the dog and yelled, "Dammit, Ginger!" Once again, the woman smiled and thought, "Yes!" A few minutes later the woman had to let another one rip. This time she didn't even think about it. She let rip a fart that rivaled a train whistle blowing. Again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled, "Dammit, Ginger, get away from her before she ...... on you! That's it for this month! Thank you! -: D bl1209

Interview with @MarineMan2 : Hellooo Tankers! Today we will meet Tanki's one of the most renowned ex-consultant and forum moderator, @MarineMan2! Welcome Marine! Dearly sorry for yours and your colleagues loss over the Consultants. How did you find this game? Where are you from? When'd you got into stuff? @MarineMan2: Well hey, and thanks for having me. Firstly, to clear up a bit of who I am and what has made me who I am today... I found out about Tanki by browsing Miniclip.com looking for cheap little games to pass the time. I got bored to the point where I decided to go to the multiplier section, and just fool around with making some fake accounts (as at the time I didn't have an e-mail, and knowing that was the last thing the game would force me to give before making an account, was my e-mail). So about two years ago, as I file through the games, just goofing around, I run by Tanki. I fool around with a few names, and eventually settle on "Marineman". I click join... and it loads a whole account! I was thinking, "What??? A game that doesn't want my money... or to harass me by bombarding me in e-mails for some pay-to-win game!" Through some confusion, I decided to make three accounts; Marineman, MarineMan2, and MarineMan3. I, such as any player new to the game, got excited even over the smallest things. I was especially excited to acquire the ever envied Viking, Freeze combo, which at least in my rank and day, was something really nice to have on nearly any mid to small sized map. At that point though, I wasn't even aware that this game existed beyond Miniclip, nor that there was a forum (which is somewhat ironic considering that I'm presently a Forum Moderator :D). I learned of the forum, and of the game site. I grew to become what, at least I'd consider, to be a relatively skilled player. Now that I was a good player, the next step was having good interactions, and the solution that; getting out there in the community. I'm from the United States, and proud of it! More specifically, I live in New England, where the Maple syrup is good, and the skiing is better. I became interested in the staff... about a year ago I'd say, and since then I've been constantly working to ensure that I'm chipping in my part in this community. : Lolz nice. Had you applied for other jobs? How did you react when you got into one for the first time? @MarineMan2: Every position I have ever applied for, I have always been accepted, though in some cases, I ended up having to turn down the offer at a later point due to some of my personal life circumstances. Though my first staff job that I ever applied for was the Consultants position. I was but a wee little nub, and had grand aspirations. Issho helped me through everything, and did so with intense patience, even when at the time I made quite a few grammatical errors. My knowledge of computers and the game was already rather vast, and his mentoring only made it the greater. Approximately three weeks after submitting my application, I was accepted as a Candidate Consultant. I worked hard and well, trying raise my post count from an absolute zero, and hopping the in-game chats. One day approximately a month later... I awoke, like any other morning, popped on Skype to check for any important new messages, and FBI contacted me saying he had a surprise... I told him I had to go, but we could speak about it later that evening. This was strange, because at the time I had only spoken with Issho, and FBI had been a little inactive at the time, and I'd really only spoken with him in our Consultants chat. And here I was being spontaneously contacted... so, later that day, I get on the forum to deal with the usual rounds, and suddenly realize I have an avatar, and I go into the game, and I have the exclusive Microchip paint! I was thrilled, and wanted to jump for joy! Unfortunately, I wasn't really in the environment for such things at the time... so the stupid grin plastered on my face looked pretty ridiculous. :D Yes, as you've heard, the Consultants have been removed from Tanki. I was indeed saddened by this, but understood the logic of it. The members who were Consultants moved to other jobs, such as; Chat Moderator, Forum Moderator, and Facebook Moderator. As three of the Consultants were already Forum Moderators, once the position was removed, most of them became Chat Moderators excluding one who broke away from the trend and became an FB Mod. :) Now Chat Moderators, who in my opinion had the most in common with Consultants, spend more time to communicate with players, such as the way Consultants used to. : So, cool! Now, look what you made me! Jealous! :D Are you in any clan whatsoever? What is your favourite combination in the game? @MarineMan2: I have only been in one clan, "Death Dealers", and that certainly was a really fun experience for me. Though we may have not been the most skilled, we were the most fun, and the team got along well. I really ended up investing myself in that clan, and even went so far as to design; a website, Google+ Page, Twitter, YouTube account, and a program that only members understood how to use so I could keep track of who was active and who was not. The website was in development, and early stages, but for a start, I think it was looking pretty nice: Death Dealers. Well, I used to be a devote Thunder, Viking user with Emerald paint. Actually, when presented the opportunity, I bought the M2 Medium Kit (which has since been removed), and consistently used that. Now some would say that kit buyers were total noobs who used supplies far too frequently, but I actually became honestly skilled with that combination. Though do take note, when I do drug, I don't do so in a noob-ish manner, I prefer to do it like this... Supplies Tutorial Contest winners announced! Check out who got first place in that one, haha. Upon winning that I had my Prodigi paint fully MUed and it has served me well with these awesome stats: Prodigi. Though recently I've found myself incredibly attracted to Hammer. A turret that when I first saw it, I expected a pretty low quality outcome, or rather one that wouldn't be able to integrate into the game easily. Though to my pleasant surprise it has, and now I think of it as my mid to close range Thunder. :D : Wow. Will you tell us about the program you use to track your clan members? @MarineMan2: It took a while, but thankfully didn't require any coding (which by the way I am presently learning). I used Google Forms, and Google Spread sheets, and through a little customization and browsing the settings carefully and thoroughly, I set up a little Form. Nearly all of the complexities behind this only regard the way I access and view the content in order to analyze and graph. : What it felt like to be a consultant and how'd you describe it? @MarineMan2: Being a Consultant... Doesn't give you an overwhelming sense of power, but authority. You have to be careful not to confuse the two. The authority is really more about... Knowing your words are powerful, and recognized. Being a national essay winner myself, along with multiple outstanding English related achievements, I've grown to appreciate the power of knowledge and those who can articulately express their thoughts. In the case of being a Consultant, I got to help players with a variety of issues ranging from "Can you please tell Semyon I want to be his BESTY FRIEND???" to "Player: I can't log into my main account. Me: what's the username of your main account? Player: This is my main account." *facepalm* Haha, working through rough English sometimes was hard, since I became used to speaking naturally at such an "advanced" level. It was nice to be able to deal with small chat violations with a five minute ban, though more commonly a warning. This way things remained very personal, and there wasn't too high a tension about anything. - :D bl1209

Taken a sound team, teamwork has to be employed too. 1.2.2 Choosing the equipment The right combination can decide the outcome of any battle in half. A simple yet effective way is through logic and below this text you can find the ratings I put for every equipment for quality reasons. 1.2.2.1 Turrets Smoky In small maps like Island, there are very less chances for this turret to gain a point as it's designed to battle it out in Medium andLong-ranged battles. A turret with almost unlimited range, rate of fire and critical hits, Smoky's entirely different in style here. It can almost outscore any turret only it is depended by its user. It's ability to fire long-ranged shots with a fast reloading capability dearly provides to raking points. So, Smoky stands here out as well. Total ratings for Smoky: 0/1 + 1/1 + 1/1= 2/3 FireBird The damage rate of a Firebird can destroy an army of nearly 5 in 10 seconds! (Talk of wonders, yeh!) It's one the most feared turrets in CP battles. With it's burning effect, it could nearly disintegrate a mammoth in a few seconds. The only it faces are in terms of its range. Firebird being short-ranged is prone to being attacked by long-ranged turrets that pose a great many threats like Thunder. In medium maps, in can stand a chance by covering itself with walls, buildings, and other props. Unfortunately, in large maps like Polygon a lethal enemy like Thunder with its splash damage could ruin a Firebird's chance of winning. Total ratings for Firebird: 1/1 + 1/1 + 0/1=2/3 Twins Twins could buy a chance of a win with its ability to ward-off shots from enemy turrets like Railgun, Thunder and Smoky that could damage the tanker severely. If not for its unlimited reloading capacity, twins wouldn't be able to kill its enemy after parry a blow. In smaller maps, this turret is deadly dangerous and poses a great threat to it's enemies. On the other hand, the turret cannot stand at all well on large maps where enemy Thunder and Smoky's fire from far away. Status for twins: 1/1 + 0/1 + 0/1= 1/3 Freeze Freeze is another of the most dangerous turrets in CP battles. Their freezing effect slowing down the victim while damaging him is another way of saying ' I'll kick and punch while making you bleed!'. Small maps are the strongest territories of freezes and can pose a great threat to it's enemies there. But in Medium Maps like SandBox where there is enough space to aim at them are one of the unluckiest types of the freeze yet they can protect themselves by covering but this becomes a lot worse when in large maps like Polygon. Status for Freeze: 1/1 + 1/1+ 0/1= 2/3 Shaft With enough strength to knock out it's enemies' aim, the shaft user is one you mustn't oppose in medium and larger maps. In small maps, Shafts are prone to Firebirds, Freezes and Isida that damage the tanker dearly in scope mode. Not mention it's laser while, in scope mode, the average shaft user has no chance of victory unless he is opposing a weak team. Status for Shaft: 0/1 + 1/1+ 1/1= 2/3 Ricochet Like in all other types, this turret is one that cannot loose. You won't see it loose often unless for its user skill. Ricochet's ball of fire can bounce on any material that solid enough like even on the ground. In small maps, the turret can do a great deal of damages to it'f s ball that reflectoffothe walls. In medium and large maps, the turret is fine too. But maps like SandBox offers another great many chances for this turret, it could take cover behind walls and other props while shooting at the edges of other buildings to hit its target. As a matter of fact, it can even strike enemy hulls at cover. Talk about a worthy weapon! Status for Ricochet: 1/1 + 1/1 + 1/1= 3/3 (Wow! Even I cannot believe it) Thunder Thunder is another deadly weapon with a deadly curse, it's Splash damage. Yeah, when near to one opponent if a Thunder fires a shot, due to it's splash damage, it too get's a bit of the damage so in small maps thunders are quite weak. On the other side, in small and medium maps like SandBox and Polygon respectively, Thunders can dominate the arena. Status for Thunder: 0/1 + 1/1 + 1/1= 2/3 Hammer Hammer is yet another turret that can damage its adversaries in great. Also due to its impact force, the enemy has the least chance of firing at this turret. In small maps, Hammer is one of the deadliest turrets there is know till now! In medium and large maps, it does well too and can take cover to load. Unfortunately, it's only disadvantage is its reloading speed. Status for Hammer: 1/1+ 1/1 + 1/1= 3/3 Railgun The only drawback of this gun is it's reloading speed like Hammer too. In maps like Island, it stands very least chance of having victory. On the other hand, in maps like SandBox and Polygon using props to hide and reload and firing is like it's 'deja vu'. Status for Railgun: 0/1 + 1/1 + 1/1= 2/3 As we have come to the end of the turret session here are the ratings of each turret: Smoky: 2/3 Firebird: 2/3 Twins: 1/3 Freeze: 2/3 Shaft: 2/3 Ricochet: 3/3 Thunder: 2/3 Hammer: 3/3 Railgun: 2/3 1.2.2.2 Hulls Wasp Wasp's speed has a larger benefit of escaping from Freezes and other short-range turrets in big maps. Wasp plays fine too in maps like SandBox but performs very low in maps like Island where a hull with an average speed and sufficient amount of health like Viking's or Hornet is required. The hull could perform admirably well if not for its low health. With a health like Hornet, wasps would have flooded mostly all the battlefields. Unfortunately, for it's low health and less stability, it is not suitable in CP battles except for larger ones like Polygon. Ratings for Wasp: 0/1 + 0/1 + 1/1= 1/3 Hornet Hornet's balance of it's health with speed makes it one of the useful turrets in the game and especially in CP battles. In small maps, the average hornet has the chance of victory especially if it's equipped with short-ranged turrets like Freeze, Firebird, Isida or Hammer. In medium and larger maps, it does well to but face the danger of attacks from turrets like Hammer and Railgun that could damage the hull in great. Ratings for Hornet: 1/1 + 1/1 + 1/1= 3/3 Viking Viking is the second most versatile hull after Hornet. In a small battle, the Viking with it's sufficient speed and moderate health when mounted on with any close-ranged turret like Hammer, Freeze, Isida or Firebird is one you'd never forget. Although, in medium and large maps, it suffers attacks from far away Viking is a terrific hull to hold while attacking, defending or remaining in cover. Ratings for Viking: 1/1 + 1/1 + 1/1= 3/3 Dictator Dictator is one of the most feared hulls in CP battles. Mostly any weapon mounted on a dictator is deadly dangerous to it's enemies. In small maps a dictator mounted on with Hammer is perhaps the strongest combination till known. In medium maps, the trend changes to somewhat of a Dictator with a Thunder or a Firebird that could pose a great threat to it's foes. In large maps, a dictator with Smoky or Thunder could dominate the entire arena. Ratings for Dictator: 1/1 + 1/1 + 1/1= 3/3 Titan Titan is considered a suitable alternative to Mammoth in terms of it's speed and health. In battlefields like Island, the Titan dominated on with Hammer, Freeze, Firebird is dangerous to pick on. However in larger and medium maps, the Titan is prone to attacks from long-ranged turrets like Railgun, Thunder, Smoky et cetera (Etc.). Ratings for Titan: 1/1 + 0/1 + 0/1= 1/3 Mammoth The mammoth a killing machine that is the best hull to choose while defending. Unlike it's counterpart, Titan, Mammoth has less speed. In medium and larger maps, it can be pricked on by long-ranged turrets aiming from the various corners of the map. Ratings for Mammoth: 1/1 + 0/1 + 0/1= 1/3 ( I should not have given it a point as it's slower than all other hulls but out of pity. Now, you have the reason why.) We have come to the end of the Hull section. Here are the ratings for each Hull: Wasp: 1/3 Hornet: 3/3 Viking: 3/3 Dictator: 3/3 Titan: 1/3 Mammoth: 1/3 1.2.3 Drugging Using drugs are useful in battle. A battle without drugs wouldn't be fun and competitive. On the other hand, a battle with drugs isn't always fun. How to drug? You must use Double Power to rake kills in a battle where your team is having the majority and Double Armour if your opposing team has the majority over yours then using the drop-boxes to complete your drugging mode. How to obtain the maximum crystal from drugging? It's quite simple. All you need to do is drug in good battles. Investing in good battles are productive. How to find a good battle? If the ranks and equipment are equally matched in both teams is another way of describing a battle as good. The battle will be even more competitive so the fund increases rapidly. An untimed or long-timed battle under these circumstances contributed incredibly to increasing the fund. 1.2.4 Conclusion To conquer a CP battle, one must: Have an experienced and well equipped team. Must have Team Work among one's teammates. Correctly choose his/her equipment. Drug, if necessary. - :D bl1209

I don't see a point why the reporters are disliking this topic.

Page updating sorry for delay.

^ thanks

Really good idea, @MarineMan2.

Thank you for the unofficial game:

You know when I accepted mine believe it or not I got 500. :o

Wow. The real him or the Hacker? :P

Okay, cool. Thanks. :D

I liked @tony990_Superstar the most.... Good work to all of you!

Actually, just these two.
