//I suppose you are OK with Europeans and Americans being screwed by the crystal exchange rate? I suppose you think it is OK for Europeans and Americans to subsidize Russian players? I think it stinks and it makes me feel cheated and angry.// - quoting Kreeperskelly Please see my response to mserbia.

Have you not seen that compared to someone who I recently blocked, that they like to write novels and I only short articles? :P 1- If there was no hacking/sabotaging/etc, and if Tanki was only owned and run by volunteers, then I'd want I'd want Tanki for free. 2- I didn't research to find out if that's a conspiracy theory or if it's fact, so I didn't even bother to find out if there's a valid reason for it.

Actually the "pitbull" reaction happened after I was treated by "pitbullish" behaviour, so give it a rest since you proved my point. And you love to exaggerate. Plus lie. I have expressed moments of disagreement too. So like the liar I eventually blocked, I will do the same with you (haven't read the rest of your response and will stop there)...

I for one am glad for the mission rewards being reduced because the amount of cheating has skyrocketed due to hackers and saboteurs now having the crystals to frequently drug in addition to their cheating. :o I wonder how many months till they run out so that we fair usage druggers who don't cheat can drug repel their nondrug sabotaging and hacking? :wacko:

Have you never played "Farmville" (most famous FB game) or "Everquest" (one of the most famous computer games), or any other game of the modern era on the internet? ...they are increasingly doing what Tanki does and that is set their own currency rules within their games. Deal with it.

I have, at least when changing my mission. With this new setup change, I only change once cuz I am not going to risk that much for something that pays even up if I win.

Now to bring in some temporary fake peace, I'll be blocking this account of yours so you're not tempted to troll me again, Rmmk.

k -.-

It's X5 crystals from battles we play, not from money we use to purchase crystals.

You're being a hypocrite here. You insist that only your views be accepted and expressed but that those (ie/ me) who disagree are to not express disagreement? Have you noticed that I never said anywhere that anyone (or any specific individual) should not be allowed to type whatever, even whatever is completely contrary to what I type? Good, because I'm not a hypocrite. And it wasn't about whether the person uses swear words or not but rather, see what I typed most recently to Dliver just above this. Thanks. BTW: I already countered that person's points before he even posted them. And Tanki warned me earlier today that I cannot keep quoting my comments or else I won't be allowed to continue typing. So instead of my quoting what I previously said, please go look them up for yourselves. Thanks :D

Good I"m glad for you. BTW: I'm humble enough to admit I'm wrong when I realize I'm wrong, regardless of whether it's proven to me or not. :) And yes, I considered what I typed before I typed it. Did you bother to think about what I typed? I never used absolutist words or told people to trust me or told people that the act of disagreeing with me automatically makes them wrong. Well, this is what that guy essentially did. So, within the disclaimers I laid out, unlike some others here, I haven't been a hypocrite. Thanks.

BTW: I do not automatically favour authority nor do I automatically favour going against authority. And before anyone accuses me of anything and insists with absolutist words, please first read what I've typed because so far I've noticed that I've already made comments in these Tanki forum threads that answer them. For those that are vets with Tanki forum, you already know how to find them. ;)

And when people use absolutist words (ie/ always, every, all, etcetera), they are trying to mask to the undiscerning that they are lying and trying to divert attention away from the truth. Now, in response to your accusation: - I have shared instances in chat and in these forums when I disagree with Tanki, whether partially or completely! - so you either haven't bothered to read what I've typed or you enjoy lying ...thanks.

Thank you. EDIT: you obviously didn't go back to previous pages to see that I already responded to the same concepts by others.

Actually, if you bothered to read my responses to others you'll have noticed that I have too frequently gone into deep consideration of what the other person had to say. But based on this person's introduction, the initial attitude of their wording, and my experiences and observations of others (plus what psychology points out), I responded the way I did for those very reasons.

When people say "trust me" I've found later that they almost always are lying. When they say "To tell you the truth" they are then either intentionally lying and trying to trick you into believing them or they usually lie except when they say they tell the truth. Look, generally honest people do not go out of their way to tell you they're telling you the truth, because they are. Anyway, when I came across that wording in the above super long article/review I decided to stop reading...

I regret having pointed out about the credit/debit card arrangement, because others whined so much that Tanki changed it to no longer pay out more than SMS despite getting the opportunity to use C/D C versus SMS is far more costly so it should be rewarded accordingly, but now it's all equal. That new equality now means that the payment options are unfair.

Actually, what first unbalanced the game was the hacking and later the sabotaging.

1- There are "cry babies" on both opposing sides 2- So please don't be a hypocrite (saying someone from the other side is a cry baby when you also are one)

When is the 5X? In UTC time.

And another thing (a pretend sexist comment from me, for levity), why do the best 2 designs end up in the last two spots and the 2 worst (pajama look) designs end up first? LOL ...seriously though, I had said before this tournament that if my Angels & Demons wouldn't win that Epic Guards would. (typed in chat rooms)

No, probably only the English version. I saw the Russian one instead but mostly didn't understand the words, obviously. It's ok.

...yes.

As a7x correctly pointed out, Star Ladder never updated their info. 1- Epic Guards beat the previous champs, Arcade. [i don't know the specifics since I was unavailable] 2- Then they barely beat my Angels & Demons with a bunch of ties throughout their match. 3- Now they'll be playing All In for the championship. 4- Then A&D will be playing Arcade for 3rd/bronze. ...I don't know when either match will happen. Probably tomorrow at 17:00+ UTC.
