Damn, that was cold blooded. Nice story.

The new turret sounds awesome. Friendly fire should make things more interesting. I can't imagine why any Vulcan user would want to use the new alteration. You're taking this gun in entirely the wrong direction. The barrel spin-up and spin-down are too fast already. The barrier to entry for Vulcan should be difficulty of use. The reward should be power. You're turning it into a kid's toy.

Ha, yes I hear that behind me and I go "aw s**t".

Just for the record, because although I really appreciate the mod letting me share my poem in this thread, I am not happy with the changes that were made to it (especially the extraneous punctuation, as it is lyric, not prose; nor did it have spelling errors), so I am re-posting it here in its original form... The Dance i remember Hornets and Wasps dancing to that little tune every tank loved it's on the jukebox: five-eight-zero solid gold hit of the time you can't ignore that swinging groove you cannot stop the catchy beat all the little ones love to move dance and shake their little tank feet they danced in Rio they danced in Berlin they danced in Madness again and again oh how they danced oh how they spun whirling and twirling look, everyone! even Hunters and Vikings dabbled in groove so irresistable the urge to move clumsy-footed Dictator you can stand it no more go try your luck on the dance floor! burly Titans watching the little guys big-boned Mammoths hiding envious eyes play it again, Tanki, play it again that song that every Hornet and Wasp secretly dreams to hear once more so impactful, so forceful it's on the jukebox: five-eight-zero and all the little Hornets and all the little Wasps will dance again oh yes! dance, little ones... dance for Vulcan!

Vulcan is kind of nasty like that. :)

Yeah, it's supposed to end on condescending, self-important note. Because that's vulcan's personality. I love wasp and hornet, and use them all the time in my alt accounts. This is just seeing the world through vulcan's simple-minded eyes, where he even thinks the other tanks enjoy getting knocked around by his fire, and mammoths envious they can't share in the fun. I like your idea for "dance to vulcan" as the ending, though, that might have made it more palatable for some, and frankly it would end it on a more musical note, which is cool. Thanks for the feedback. :)

Thank you for the nice comments, guys, I appreciate it. :)

Update: December 31, 2016 - I don't anticipate anyone clicking on this thread any longer, but if you did and want to read "The Dance", you can scroll down through the comments below and find it. This space here is now reserved for semicolons. And the like. The Courier by tanksalad "Knock knock" came the sign, portending things I could not have imagined, for if I had such capacity to fathom, I would have surely gone insane long ago, but a short way into my uncomprehending life, scattered with lostness and misunderstanding, blindness and overall unfeeling, a life so haunted by the unseen trickery of reality that I dare not endeavour true discern, nor present to the world, of such, any facsimile, as the world would surely eat me alive for so heinously a hypocrital heist of decency, shaming me into a grave so deep, a hole it would tear in the fabric of the universe, yes, time and space themselves, or, should I say, itself, for really they are one, inextricable, a snare for all who dare to exist, wherein the prisoner runs in the endless loop of thought, trying to complete the uncompletable, trying to understand although he knows it criminal, and endlessly bombarded within that thought by the higher forms that are, the concepts that exist outside of space and time, those that were always and always will be, even after space and time dry up and blow away into the welcome embrace of nothingness, concepts so outside of reality that they must be real, which is kind of scary, to be honest, which is why the sign, which came as a knocking on the door of my shelter, built to withstand the perpetual pounding of the harsh elements of that reality, has unsettled me so, reducing me to trembling utterances to the dreadful Courier, "Go away, go away," the refrain, echoing off the walls of my pitiful den, doing naught but falling back upon my own ears, singing to me softly, sorrowfully, the song of futility.

I asked for new maps. I'm still asking for new maps. Sorry.

When someone thinks a joke is an argument, and someone else jumps in to support him on that. Awesome.

Except that maps can't "has" anything. They "have". So your point is actually invalid, unfortunately.

Canyon, too. Zero is an even number.

Where is Canyon CP??? Let me guess... most players are too inexperienced to handle it? It's an awesome map, make a CP version. And not just one single point in the middle of the map, that map should have at least 3 points. More if possible.

I didn't know that about Parkour battles. Thanks.

Thanks, I figured it had to do with the anti-cheat thing. They really should bump up efforts to fix this though, it's happening way too often.

Self-destructing for no reason. Often when jumping and landing on a wall or another tank, or even just in the air above a wall or tank, I self destruct for no reason. It's ruining the cool jumps in Madness.

I finish a battle and leave. Press battle button. Takes me to the same battle I just left. Seriously?

The quick battle button is a good idea, but it is way too big. This thing is annoying.

Vulcan's impact force cut almost in half. Not happy.

Please put the 1500 supply kit back in the garage. I prefer games without drugs, but when the other team has massive druggers on it, I need drugs to even it out. And I'm not paying $20 for the kit. What you are ensuring is that the worst druggers will still drug, and there will be less players who are able to counter their drugging.

Agreed. Tanki is going to be a ghost town when the new game starts, so no point in building up a garage anymore.

The paint/protection update changes the game, yes. But adding eight new paints, which is what I'm really talking about, doesn't change anything, and yet there seem to be people here who are opposed to it.

I totally agree it would be nice if they would fix all the technical issues. It just seems to me there are a lot of players who unrightly attack Tanki for trying to monetize this game, like they don't understand that, like any game of this caliber, it's a business. And perhaps some of the bugs are not as easily fixed as it may seem. Many may not care about the paints, but if helps Tanki make money without making the game pay-to-win, it's a brilliant idea and benefits everybody. I'm actually kind of stunned you haven't played all the maps. There can never be enough maps in my opinion. I just saw a thread the other day on map ideas, some people made some awesome ones, there are youtube vids of them, I can't see why they were never adopted. I personally would like more big maps and ones with a good vertical aspect to them, like Madness and Skyscrapers.

It costs the same as you would spend on a paint that you don't buy.

If Tanki released a new map (which would be great), there would be guys on here complaining... This map is useless to me -- Tanki just wants to get more players so they can make even more money! Get rid of this map or I AM GOING TO LEAVE!!!
