To Cedric: I'm disappointed with the Battle MOD Yele. I applied for it following the directions exactly and reading all the requirements. Once Yele contacted me, it was like pulling teeth to get her to set up a time for a webcam interview. I know she is busy and has alot on her plate, but I'm talking it took over 10 days to get to a point where I thought we were getting close to scheduling something. BUT - then she asked if I could do 2 Hours per day doing Battle MOD stuff. ( I had already answered that question in the application and said I could do about 7-10 hrs a week.) Once she saw I couldn't do 2 hrs a day she basically said thanks but no thanks. My time was wasted, and I don't think that was fair. It was NEVER stated anywhere that there was a minimum of 2 hrs per day required. I think to put that requirement on there limits applicants. I've been playing Tanki for well over 2 years and I wanted to give back to the game. I'd be a good worker and do all I can for a Battle MOD. I wanted to try and stop the hackers and cheats that break into the game. I'm not a kid, I'm married with a family and work 50+ hrs a week. I guess my point is she didn't even give me a chance and I think that was a big mistake.

Appears to be fixed now ......

I've tried the GAME link on the upper right, the stand alone client, my bookmark for it in my favorites --- nothing, Was working fine about 5 hours ago.

I Can't log into the site it is saying Invalid URL ?????

My suggestion is simple ~~~~ Add more Maps to the missions! While starting up another Tanki account I've been noticing how many "good" maps are being played at the lower ranks and somehow as ranks go up they are not being played anymore. There's only a hand full of maps currently being used on the daily missions (especially at Gizmo rank), I think more should be added as options..... Brest, Red Alert, Highland just to name a few. This is also a good way to get more exposure for the maps that don't get played. Tanki has SO MANY maps in the list, yet I bet only maybe 50% get played if that. That's why I think more Maps should be added to the daily missions. Thanks!!

This is a VERY GOOD Idea!!!

UPDATE: I've played for about 2 hrs after I posted this yesterday. I tried to keep an open mind, but I find it is still HORRIBLE! Battles end too quick - it's not fun anymore. If you join a team that's losing, you don't have enough time to help turn things around. You may have 8 minutes left on the clock which is enough time to turn things around (depending on your team) but the other team is too close to the cap and then BOOM 1 minute late GAME OVER! Once again it's not fun anymore. :( I shouldn't have to BUY a Pro Pass to get away from this update even though I know it's what you want us to do. I've been playing Tanki for about a year now. I've worked my way up in the ranks to General. I've worked through all of the "Updates" and Changes that Tanki has given us over this past year (there's been ALOT). Some I liked, Some I hated (Shaft's Laser for one), but this one has got me thinking something that has never come across my mind before ---- SHOULD I STOP PLAYING TANKI? I ask you to please reverse this update. If you must keep something of this change in the game, please just put it as an option for when you create a battle. Just like when you pick summer, winter or night you can pick the cap as well or not. Sorry Tanki - You missed on this one....

Not Liking this update. All battles I've played ended way too early with LOW battle funds. I've played Small, Medium & Large maps with Flags, Kills and Points. It seemed not to make much difference. All ended early with alot of time left on the clock. There have been many times my team has been down flags, kills or points and have made a comeback taking it right down to the last second - Now this can't happen. Your fighting along trying to make a come back with your team and BAM game over with alot of time on the clock still. Tanki - This update need to be REVERSED or keep it an option for when you are creating a battle.

Here are my Thoughts::: Before Daily Missions you would get either 1 DCC or some free crystals or some combination of Power up, shield, Mines, etc. and that's all. When you released Daily missions you gave everyone 3 missions per day, so basically everyone got 3 things per day (I'm assuming most tankers would play that day until all three missions were completed ( I do). This is what is throwing the game off balance. Everyone is getting 3 times as much stuff. you need to drop the number of daily missions to 1 maybe 2 to equalize back to before daily missions.

I've done more testing -- THUNDER is TOO OP now! 2 shots and I'm gone. I was just in a CTF battle and out of 12 tanks, 10 were Thunders?!?! I've never seen that many Thunders is one small battle before. I had to switch to Thunder just to have a chance. Everyone knows Thunder is OP now and so everyone is using it. This is taking some of the fun out of the game, Deveolpers - you need to re-adjust Thunder back to near where it was.

The sale is okay. 25% off isn't too bad. I'm thinking there is a better sale possibly coming on Tanki's Birthday-But I could be wrong. I too was disappointed that there isn't going to be a 50% off crystal purchases with this May Day Sale. Maybe for the birthday celebration there will be one.

While some people are giving good feedback to Tanki, ALOT of people are just complaining about the "Rebalancing". Everyone should be giving constructive opinions on these changes so Tanki can weigh everything and make the proper adjustments to the game. Complaining does nothing! With that being said, I've had a chance to play some with the "Rebalanced" turrets and hulls. Below are my observations on what I saw and tried: HUNTER: I like the new Hunter! It handles better. Seems like a bigger Hornet tank!VIKING: No real big difference to me with the added weight FIREBIRD: Increase in power is okay (don't know if it was needed though) Faster reload was a good change FREEZE: Think TOO much power was added to this turret. Should be dialled back just a little bit. The new freezing effect on enemies tank I think is a good change, although you do stay frozen a bit too long affter the attack. ISIDA: Harder to aim now. Ray bounces around a lot if you are near multiple tanks Longer range I think was a good adjustment SHAFT: Adding higher damage to arcade mode was a good suprise(don't really know if it was needed) Longer reload time -- REALLY???? Wasn't the laser scope enough of a blow to Shaft users? Now you have to ADD time to the reload. You are making it even tougher on the Shaft users out there. The added reload time should be reversed back to the way it was. THUNDER: Seems REALLY overpowered now. Way to much added on to this turret. 1 - 2 hits and I'm done. Used to take 3 - 5 hits before. Think the damage needs to be dialed down a bit Longer reload time - I'm figuring this was added to help compensate for the higher damage. I would reset the reload time back to near where it was (as long as the damage gets lowered as well) Hopefully this was helpful.

Made my Purchase (1 of 2 Actually) -- Bring on the Sales!

I got some of my supplies , but no mines?? I'm seeing alot of other people are reporting that as well. Could they be coming in another update??

I got 55 points - not the best, but getting up at 4am to do the puzzle wasn't possible. At least I got 100 in supplies! Thanks everyone for all the help!!

Deleted entry - the link I was given was a fake. Sorry for the confusion!!!

never mind

Guys -- I've been looking around at other postings about Day 3 and came across one over on the contest section: Yakkydoddle wrote: " Not sure it's frost, because if you already bought the frost paint you wouldn't know the discounted price." This makes a good point and alot of sense. The answer can't be Frost - Tanki would not give a clue that only some people would be able to get. Anyone that bought the paint earlier would not be able to make the connection for 57 == the cost of Frost on day 3 - It would not be in their garage to see that. This -- I believe - KILLS the possiblilty that Frost is the answer for Day 3!!

I still think it's 57 as the answer. Every other time once you get to the picture with the official Day # on it, that's where it stops and the answer is in that picture. You don't continue to search more based on that answer - it doesn't fit the pattern of The Game. It looks like there have been number answers in the past so 57 could still be the answer. Also everyone is tied up on it must be a word -- look at the answer to Day 2 ( LIMADG2 ) this is not a word, just a nickname for someone. Just my 2 sense on this that's all.

True -- But Ping-Pong is way too obvious given the picture. The billboard way in the back has the Dictator from China on it and there's also a Dictator tank in the background - I'm still thinking it's Dictator. I know we are getting too far ahead on this one, but if this is the correct picture it's a head start.

I just looked at this post and all links seam to be legit. Based on the picture the answer to Day 4 should be " Captain ". We will have to wait until the Day 4 video to confirm things.

I just studied this picture on this link. If it is indeed the Day 6 picture clue - think the answer is Dictator. Everything in the picture is about China -- China is known for their Dictators. there is also a dictator tank is the background of the picture. I think this makes the answer for day 6 "Dictator" -- assuming the link is to the actual picture for Day 6.

You can't trust anything found on the Russian forum. In 2 posts on this page by " kuku_the_cool " he posts 2 links to 2 pics from The Game - Day 4. The pics are completely different from each other. One of them is a fake! Each series of clues/puzzles leads you to 1 pic for that day of The Game and is labeled with a 1,2,3 ,4, etc. There can't be 2 pictures labeled for Day 4 of The Game. Also " kuku_the_cool " posts on this page the complete 7 answers to The Game -- again from the russian forum. They have the answer to number 6 as "Double Damage". This can't be correct because it is a 2 word answer. All answers are to be 1 word answers. I believe they (russians) are trying to mislead anyone looking for the answers - They know eveyone is scrambling to get all the answers as fast as possible - what better way to mis-lead your opponent then to give false information. It just gives them a better chance on winning. I guess what I'm saying is don't jump to the conclusions that the russians are ahead of us. Wait each day for the video and work it out with all the correct clues.

OK - The Day 3 Clue seems to have been found early. Following the links posted here earlier it does appear to be for Day 3 of the quest. If you go to: ( http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=182631 ) and highlight the paragraghs under the sale picture including the empty space below the paragraphs then left click and hold and drag it you will see: The image doesn't show up- click on the blank part to the left to see image The sigma symbol means "the sum" -- when you click on it, it sends you to the end of a video blog with Semyon Kirov rattling off a bunch of 1's and 2's. If you add them all up ( I watched - many times - and wrote all the 1's & 2's down on paper that he said ) the sum is 57 - which I think is the answer for Day 3 of The Game. Does anyone agree with me?
