The equipment was pretty cool. I just think that it should've cost less because it was rented.

Good luck to everyone.

Hey Kevred, do the entries that are closer to 100 words than others get extra credit?

Wha... what about Raphael2?

Good idea, Guardian.

You can eat to keep yourself alive, while eating to have pleasure.

No, there is not. The topic clearly reads: Describe This in However Many Words You'd Like!

After you finish the guide, just delete all of the unnecessary/least necessary information until you're close to 1,250 words. Good luck. :)

Yes

Not bad for random people continuing a random story.

Aw, I could almost feel my entry winning; but it didn't. Congrats to the winners. :)

Earning Crystals - The Ultimate Guide: Crystals are most desired in Tanki Online. Without them, turrets, hulls, paints, supplies, kits, micro-upgrades, passes, and other garage items cannot be obtained except through very rare circumstances (like winning a fully micro-upgraded M3 tank through a contest). Countless tankers constantly desire the best tactics to earn crystals. This guide was written specifically to aid the curious tankers that want to know the best possible ways to earn them. The different methods are categorized according to the varying ways in which the crystals are earned. 　 Easiest: Buying crystals - The easiest, most convenient and consistent method of earning crystals is through simply buying them with money. Click Buy at the top of the screen when you're logged into your account, then follow the steps to buy your crystals. This method of earning crystals is very efficient; just buy, and earn. It is not best to buy crystals whenever, but to wait until you have a Double Crystal Card, which doubles the amount of crystals that you buy. There have been some unusual cases of no crystals being added to the buyer's account. If this problem should ever happen, contact: help@tankionline.com Hardest (yet most fun): Official Contests - Contests... these events are truly entertaining, whether you take part in them, or not. The variety of creativity required in different contests stimulates and encourages the average tanker. You, yes YOU, may take part in contests at www.tankiforum.com Though contests are very exhilarating and fun, and the prizes for the winners are truly astounding, they are still quite hard to win. Many tankers participate in the contests, and many strive to win. The variety of talent in Tanki contests range from creativity, to dedication, to intelligence, to luck, to skills, etc. You can win, not only crystals, but other Tanki Online related in-game items, as well as real, expensive items such as phones and T-shirts. Try taking part in some contests, and see if you can pick up some needed crystals. On the Tanki Online forums, simply click Contests under the Developer's Information category. There may be an active contest in which you can take part. Press Contests - Press contests aren't much different from official contests. The only primary differences are: 1. Less tankers take part in them. 2. The contests usually require less software and hassles. 3. Because of reasons 1 and 2, the Press contests are automatically caused to be less difficult. 4. The prizes are smaller and are limited to crystals only. Press contests are part of the monthly Tanki Online Newspaper. An issue of the Tanki Online Newspaper is released once every month, with usually about three contests in it. Official contests, however, are unpredictable, and are less frequent than Press contests. On the Tanki Online forums, click Press, then see whether there are any active contests. Most Fun: Battle Funds - So simple... play Tanki Online. In Tanki Online, as battles are being played, a fund grows. The bigger the population and length of the battle, the bigger the battle fund. At the end of the battle, the fund is split among all of the battling tankers respectively. The tankers with the highest score/most kills earn the biggest share of crystals. You MUST play until the end of the battle in order to earn crystals from the battle fund. You can't take your share from the fund and then leave whenever you want. Therefore, (unless you just want to have some fun) you shouldn't join a battle that's longer than the amount of time you'll spend there. For example: don't join a 60 minute battle when you know you're going to have to leave it after 45 minutes. You won't earn any crystals from the battle fund if you do so. Sometimes, days of Double Battle Funds occur. During these days, battle funds are simply doubled. Take advantage of these days. Gold Boxes - Ah, yes... Gold Boxes... The most exciting, heart-pounding method of earning crystals. At random times (the probability for one dropping is 1/7000 for every crystal that is added to the battle fund), a Gold box will be dropped soon will appear at the top of the screen. Twenty seconds later, a box containing 1,000 crystals will fall from the sky onto a certain section of the map... Get it. Catching Gold Boxes is fun and challenging, and will usually result in a pile of tanks. No matter which hull and turret you use, you have a chance of catching one; depending on how well you use your skill. Here are a few basic tips: 1. As soon as you see the Gold Box warning, immediately start searching for the drop zone for the Gold Box. It is a gold square with a gold crystal inside it on a section of the map. 2. You should always use supplies to aid you in catching the Gold Box. 3. If you have little life left, try to quickly be destroyed. If you can't, just activate a shield or a nitro, and then a repair kit. 4. If you have plenty of health, and you're prone to being damaged, activate a shield. 5. If you have plenty of health, and you're NOT prone to being damaged, activate a nitro. 6. Tips 3, 4, and 5 may vary if supply boxes are around you. 7. Try to find a ramp or ledge to catch the Gold more easily. This technique is more effective with light hulls. 8. Adapt into the situation quickly. Use your skill and precision to catch the beloved box. During certain events, Gold Boxes may contain larger quantities of crystals. Over time, as you catch them, the extra crystals will add an abundance to your wallet. Luckiest: Daily bonuses - Every day that you log into your Tanki Online account, you earn a daily bonus. The bonus may be supplies, a Double Crystal Card, a PRO battle pass, or, yes... crystals. Do yourself some good; log into your account every day. You'll earn guaranteed crystals if you log into your account for the first time in a while. Contests and chance - Sometimes there are contests that are based primarily on luck. For example: there may be a contest which involves buying a paint for a certain clan or team which you believe will win a tournament. If the winning clan or team matches the paint which you bought, you'll be rewarded. These events are not common, but can still add crystals to your account. Time related: Rankups - As you play Tanki Online, you gain experience. As you gain experience, you rank up. Your amount of experience is shown on the green bar at the top of the screen when you're logged into your account. You can also see how close you are to ranking up through that bar. Obviously, the more you rank up, the more work it takes to rank up again. You also earn more and more crystals every time you rank up. Just play Tanki Online often; you'll rank up quickly, and earn crystals quickly. Friend referrals - Yes, you can. You can bring your friends into the world of Tanki Online, and get paid for it. To invite a friend, click the face with the plus next to it at the top of the screen when you're logged into your account. You can invite them via: 1. Your link 2. Your banner code 3. E-mail So, when do your crystals come in? Well, there are two ways to earn crystals for inviting friends: 1. You earn crystals every time they rank up. 2. You earn 10% of the amount of crystals they buy. Oh... just make sure you've got friends. Final Words: Warning against hacks - Do not believe hacks and sites that insist on giving 999,999,999 crystals and such. These are scams and could give your computer a virus and/or cause your Tanki Online account to be stolen. DO NOT believe the frauds. Always be on the lookout - So, you've got a sufficient amount of methods to earn crystals. Just remember to always look out for even more methods; there will be more in the future. Keep earning crystals and upgrading your garage. Good luck.

The enemy requires one more flag to capture; my team has given up. My immense determination is revealed as I speed across a bridge. The flag-carrying Hornet proceeds over a hill as the scorching tip of my Railgun progressively glows with a yellow gleam. I brace myself, anticipating an explosion. Suddenly, all of my hope is quickly drained from within me as I perceive the beam of my Railgun inches away from the Hornet, ceasing to strike and destroy it. I decelerate, watching the enemies cheer and celebrate. As I close my eyes, I faintly grin; 'Twas a good fight.

The last two reports belong on the wall of a kindergarten classroom. :o

Wow... so many dislikes.

Okay, thanks for the answers, guys. Simple conclusion: my luck = bad luck Topic may be closed.

I haven't seen a Gold Box in almost two weeks. Did the devs alter them so that they drop less often? Or is this just a very rare coincidence? Or did my tanks catch a disease where they're immune to seeing Gold Boxes? Um, yeah... Ignore the third question... Btw, I play fairly often.
