These are very funny! Im-not-online and @Loadingpleasewait

How can I? Tiramisu can't be changed :D But if I have to, I would choose CúChulainn or Basiliscus

In the Middle Ages, they used to stick a straw tail to defeated, humiliated or sentenced people and made them parade around the city as a sign of shame. So, here in Italy, we say "to have a straw tail" to people who feel guilty and, for the fear of being caught, they react impulsively to justify themselves even if nobody was directly referring to them. Well, I think that's the logic.

I'd buy a small chalet near the Dolomites, make my own wine cellar and fill it with some expensive bottles of italian wine. The rest will be used on travels!

Same date of birth! 23rd of September, best day of the year! B)

Già, io sono stato in Australia e per circa 2 anni non ho giocato. Quando sono tornato ho visto che di clan italiani non ne era rimasta neppure l'ombra. E' un peccato, perché c'erano 2 clan che si davano battaglia per decidere chi era il migliore e questo dava un gran senso al gioco. Forse sarebbe il caso di riunire gli italiani in qualche modo, magari fissando un server di ritrovo. Ma prima di questo, dobbiamo far si che leggano il forum.

- Dead Poets Society - Amélie - Into the Wild - Hotel Rwanda - 12 Years a Slave - The Name of the Rose - Cinema Paradiso - Marrakech Express - In the Mouth of Madness - The Lord of the Rings trilogy - Jumanji - Sleepy Hollow - Kill Bill - Pulp Fiction - The Shawshank Redemption - Dumb&Dumber - Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - The Others - Tranispotting - The Sword in the Stone - City of God - Contact - Some Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - Evil Dead trilogy - The Big Lebowski - Forrest Gump - Let the Right One In (the original) - 25th Hour - The Great Beauty - Life of Pi - Shutter Island - Pineapple Express - The legend of 1900 - Save Private Ryan - Baraka - Samsara - Sherlock Holmes (both) - Amici Miei

Rigorously home-made :D

Welcome to the new generation. Welcome to the cultural regression of our time. Why reading a book or, simply, a thread? Cause it's boring . Better play games and getting numbed by flash-lights day by day. Then you ask those people basic questions about history, maths, literature, art or if they speak another language and they look at you as you are the weirdo. Welcome to the future World!

Tiramisu it's an italian coffee-flavored dessert that literally means "pick me up", "lift me up" or even "cheer me up" for its restorative benefits, but some people say the name is given cause of its aphrodisiac properties.

I see a difference from the answers here and what actually happens in the game. The majority said they prefer to join losing teams, but in the game I often see people join the winning team, with the result of an even more unbalanced battle that often ends with a mass leaving the losing team's players and basically killing the "battle". Am I the only one noticing that?

There it is. The map you like, and it's on already! Teams are facing to win that battle but... here is the dilemma: teams are equivalents, but one is winning on the other, so what team would you join? Being opportunist by joining the winning team and having a bigger chance to gain crystals and experience or take the hard path, hoping that your role can change the state of the battle and so having a pleasure that goes beyond the victory, but also risking to fail? Behind this choice, there is an attitude that characterizes the player and his style in (and, in my opinion, also out) the game. Personally, I like to challenge myself and join the losing team, cause the satisfaction is higher in case of victory. What about you?

I have a question: when a turret/hull can be considered M4? When one of its parameters is fully MUed or when all of its parameters are?

Si, visti entrambi, sia Baraka (il primo) che Samsara. Girati con pellicola 70mm (isoluzione doppia rispetto a quella dei film proiettati al cinema). Sono documentari che esprimono molto nonostante non vi siano dialoghi. E che documentari!

I noticed costs of micro-upgrade of Smoky don't coincide with Tankiwiki. http://en.tankiwiki.com/Micro-upgrades_Smoky Does anybody know where to find an updated version?

Well, it's always sad when somebody leaves, specially if he/she's a friend. And I'm not talking only about Tanki. Life is also made of goodbyes and they hurt and make you feel empty somehow. That's why Arabiannoble feels like that. Just take your time for your real life and maybe you'll come back once you finished (cause you will miss Tanki too much, I know that ;) ). For the moment, ARRIVEDERCI!

Samsara... bel nickname.

On my opinion, Smoky on Viking is the best option. Viking is stable, tough and agile enough to face both fast and strong hulls. It's the best compromise for a turret that is very powerful, but still needs 4/5 shots to become deadly with the critical. I used to play with Thunder before the crystals refund. Then it got too underpowered and now I often see Thunders struggling around. Smoky is my turret now!

Si, questo lo so. Non intendevo dire che ho un problema a socializzare, anzi. Al contrario! Sarei ben felice di giocare con italiani e magari fare delle mappe assieme. Ma questo mi è capitato solo quando ero nel clan.

I always try to act as a bait during CTF battles. If I'm using viking, I rather like to attract opponents against me in order to allow a team-mate getting the flag with less enemies around him. Also, I totally agree the tactic of using your own hull as a shield and obstacle: even when you die, your burnt and destroyed hull is still an obstacle for gunshots and for an eventual chasing by the opponents. It's a sort of "sacrifice for the team", where you don't get points, but your role becomes essential.

Io purtroppo con il lavoro non sono sempre disponibile per battaglie o allenamenti, quindi non so ancora se entrare in un clan. Ho riscaricato anche team-speak perché ci sono ancora amici che giocano. Comunque do un'occhiata al tuo clan. Ci penserò in futuro ;)

Ciao a tutti, non ho mai scritto su questo thread anche perché non ne ero a conoscenza. Gioco da un almeno 4 anni a Tanki, anche se ho fatto una lunga pausa di quasi 2 anni perché sono stato in Australia. In tutto questo tempo, ho fatto una fatica tremenda a socializzare. A parte l'esperienza "Cobras Poison", col quale ho anche partecipato a dei tornei tra clan, ho sempre giocato da "eremita", vagando tra le maps che più mi aggradano ma senza mai conoscere il team per il quale giocavo. Ho notato, però, che le mappe che preferisco vengono create e frequentate poco e quelle poche che ci sono (agganciandomi al vostro discorso) non sono PRO e quindi vince sempre chi si potta di più. E' così difficile trovare compagnia nel gioco?

Hello tankers of the World! I have an idea for an eventual big contest prize. Tanki usually gave special paints to the winners of tournaments or for any other honorable reason who made a player deserve it. And what about a paint where protection parameters are editable? For example, the paint has 50 points available to set the parameters of protection from any turret the lucky player wants and he/she can edit it anytime he/she wants. An example: Paint has 50 points available. I start setting protection by adding 15% protection from Smoky. Paint has still 35 points available. Now, I set 15% protection from Firebird. Paint has still 20 points available. ...and so on till the paint has 0 points. Let me know what you think about this idea. Cheers Tiramisu

I reckon impact force makes a big difference during a battle, even more than damage.

I think ricochet is more fun to use :)
