Rock looks awesome on Hunter! Smoky-Hunter is my ideal combination. Reasonably fast, very versatile, very powerful.

All the hulls are fairly balanced in terms of stats at M3 and up. At M0-M2, Hornet is good just because it's unlocked early and is cheap.

Titan FTW. It's not extremely slow, but it still has plenty of health.

If you want Isida, you should have gotten it on the sale. Anyway, my M1 Isida is working out pretty well for me. It's of course not as powerful as M2 Isida, but Alien paint gives me the upper hand.

From what I've seen, M2 isn't just "pretty good". It's amazing.

Nope. PUM is Recruit(jk, that's technically impossible) PUM is Captain.

If you have those two paints, you'll be protected from pretty much everything. If I could only get two paints for protection, it would be those two.

I've never tried Dictator-Freeze or Dictator-Isida. I use Dictator with Thunder (when something absolutely must die), Railgun (on larger maps), and Shaft (for sniping). I never really understood how Dictator-Isida is supposed to work. Dictator's somewhat slow, and Isida has a very small range. If you can get close to your opponents, I guess it's fine, but that's hard to do with Dictator's speed.

I'd prefer a sale over special gold boxes. Halloween week is going to be nice. My birthday is on the 26th, and Halloween is on that Friday.

The only M2 you have on Trom is Hunter, I think. You might want to consider getting M2 Ricochet or M2 Thunder, both of which appear to be good.

M1 Hunter/Freeze = flag capturer's worst nightmare. Nuff said. M1 Shaft isn't that expensive, so I guess you could buy fairly soon on a discount it if you wanted.

A Hunter sale would be epic. The last thing I need to complete my arsenal is M1 Hunter. Granted, I'm doing great with what I have, but M1 Hunter is a great medium between Dictator and Wasp. I can use M1 Hunter with: -M1 Shaft for a highly mobile sniping platform that's also good for offensive attacks -M1 Firebird for a close-range powerhouse -M1 Smoky for a great close to mid range general purpose tank -M1 Thunder for a great mid-range general purpose tank -M1 Isida for a versatile close-range tank That handles a lot of roles on the battlefield. I still swear by Dictator-Thunder for when things absolutely must die, and Wasp-Isida for capping flags. Anyway, focusing on Vette would be fine as well. If I remember correctly, Vette has M2 Isida and M1 Shaft, right?

I actually saw you in that DM's player list. Looks like you got lucky. :P Anyway, I haven't caught a gold box in a while. Bad luck, mostly.

Heh heh, my ranking kill was in a Highland CTF with Wasp/Shaft/Cedar. I have exactly 48,900 crystals thanks to ranking up. I can just wait for the next sale.

Yep. Anyway, notice anything different? :D

A vanilla M3 Viking has 242 HP. My M1 Shaft deals 142 damage. 142 * 2 = 284. Unless camel's been MUing his stuff a lot, it won't survive my Shaft on DP.

DP when he's not looking. :P

Seems like it works well. Thunder has problems with close range weapons thanks to self damage, so the Freeze/Isida protection would come in handy there.

I have -15 accounts in total. jk Thekillerpenguin is the only account I have, so I get to spend all my efforts on it.

That's fine. Fully-charged shot + arcade shot = ded viking. The World-wide Shaft Preservation Fund thanks you for your efforts to prevent Shafts from going extinct.

It's already been done. See the newspaper archive.

Well, if you don't have Shaft paints, you're making it a lot easier for us Shafts to work. Thanks!

It's a newspaper. This section contains articles and guides written by reporters.

2gud4u 70% discounts are already really rare and have limited time periods, so I wouldn't expect a 66%. If there will be one, it'll probably have some strings attached.

#savetheshafts only you can stop shaft extinctions They're still very common at my rank. I see them in Silence, Rio, Seruphov, Stadium, Lost Temple, etc.
