I have seen XP+K. And it was fun. Most of players just did not pay attention to this '+K'. Then became very angry and very rude (until they were pointed out). Then some started to claim it was mistake, some told "learn reading fitst", some just accepted it. Battle names could be different sometimes. Just looking at current Server No 1 and saw "XP/BP+смоки на команду" (that means one smoky is allowed for team)

so i am stopping "educational course" here do not drink removed too much :))))

mafioza, it looks like we are to talking to themselves... nobody home

Are you sure ? I have seen Prodigy and other >30% paints (from railgun) were kicked out. But other paints probably will be not. It is more dfficult to tell because m1 & m2 hull versions may allow it. Look also into game NAME. F.e. = XP or XP-K or XP-10% or XP-20% are treated without paints. I have seem XP+K. It looks like paints are allowed which results in a lot of rude talks inside. Wasp in XP battle will not be probably kicked out. It is considered too small rule violation.

Another aspect in XP. More and more I see that players call for "external observer" by voting. Several players must vote together against player(s) breaking rules of XP. You may vote as well by following command: /vote nick Some time later "observer" may come and exclude ALL players who breaking rules at the moment. Even if you would change weapons/paint in response to other players bad behaviour you would be excluded from the game if you would not take proper weapon or paint. So beware.

I somewhat dislike perfect communities. Closed battle is not for everyone. Random could be really fun. Playing random with friends is even more fun. P.S. Thx for your comments. Still hope our discussion will be helpful to others.

As a general rule I fully agree ! It is better to negotiate if possible and if there is time for it. Sometimes it is just impossible. Many times I met that somebody from loosing team were trying to win at any means and changed weapon and paint. There is no way to negotiate but fight. Sometimes it is critical (skilled smoky + prodigy can really change the XP battle from 13-0 to 14-15). There are players who do it on purpose. Specially when there is no changeover allowed in the battle. I side those who want to teach them. Though there is a risk that you are helping "wrong" team. Mistakes happen... Trying to have a lot of adequate friends - then you know which side most probably right one.

Dear felllow tankers, Let me also add my views. 1. If you would come to XP battle and some players use "bad" weapon or paint that does not mean right away they are bad spoilers. It could be they were punishing abuser(s) - and abuser(s) may left the game to that moment. How can you tell ? It is difficult or even impossible. Just try to feel it. Normal players you can tell easy - try to remember them (and sure they will memorize you too) - the more you play the more you will know. Abusers (neadekvat) - are often the same nicks or low rank... 2. Do not get too angry. Do not take it personally. I think that abusers are part of gameplay. Like bad guys in real life. They do exist. Try to punsh them if you are strong enough. Do not complaint but change your weapons and paint and play hard and well (you should sacrifice your 1st place maybe). Help other players to do this. Or leave if you feel that you are not any help to your team. This would be much better emotions when your team will be a winner !!! It is just another small victory over "bad guys of universe". Hahaha. TO is great Game for giving you such possibilities. By the way it is much easier to tell good person (not a tank player !!!) when he is loosing. 3. You must keep in mind that "bad guy" could be just a small child. So do not be rude. It is just a game but this child may learn good or bad even here. 4. Playing XP you must understand that you automatically join "special" society. You should behave but you may force others to behave. You may be openhearted and generous. Or you may be dark and evil. It is up to you. But you will soon see what other players would exclaim when you would load... Hi (privet drug) or... nothing at best. *** When I was juat a small rank noob. I still remember that battle. I tried my best. I was such proud to play with such a big guys. And then - my team (all high rank generals) left battle altogether just before I put last flag. Why ? They gave ME personally all that big fund like a present. It was a complete shock for me. Next moment I understood how good are people and what a great game is TO. I still proud of me as well - it looks I played well enough... Thanks those guys. Good luck all !
