I certainly hope so.

I don't like your attitude very much, but I have to admit that was funny. :)

Ok, thanks, that cleared some things up.

Ok, I know I'm a noob, and it might be different at higher ranks, but so far all premium accounts I've competed against have been smashed like bugs (or at least haven't beaten the "normal" people like they should). They don't really get much of an advantage besides the paint. As for the druggers, at first I was really annoyed at their "unskillful" ways, I still am when I'm chasing someone with the flag and they punch their 1 button. Now, though, when they do that, I punch the 3 button and kill them (then they say "noob drugga" which shows that even druggers don't like drugs when they're used against them). Everybody has drugs, not only the people who spend money, but we sophisticated people who look down on them. Despite the skill you might have, you don't stand a chance against a drugger, so of course you'll lose, and subsequently say "Tanki's stupid, I'm quitting." Instead just give into the dark side and use drugs.

couldn't agree more

I am, but being a noob I don't know much about it besides the fact that bunches of devs are making it great.

I know I'm a blind, brainwashed noob, but I still don't see why he's so corrupt. He seems like he's just trying to make a point, and using a sort of abusive writing style while doing it. Btw, sonofchrysalis I love your writing style, please don't change it. Also, I don't think you should be banned for speaking your mind, everybody (or pony as the case may be) is entitled to his or her opinion.

Whoa guys (and girls), calm down. I've tried to not get to involved in this topic too much, but now in true teenager form I'm gonna start on a long rant: I doubt any of the 70k or more tankers out there are gonna wake up in a drunken stupor five years from now and say "Man! Where did my life go wrong? Oh, I remember it was that Tankers Day of 2015, if they had given me a 50% discount instead of 40% I'd be fine right now, but instead the devs gave us a paltry 40% sale, and because of that my life is now ruined. Curse you Tanki Online!" Obviously none of you will do that. You all will probably forget, and will continue enjoying Tanki. So why not just live and let live and stop raving about the deplorable devs and their evil ways. Tanki is still free, and whether or not there are sales, it will still be one of the most fun games around. Whew! Now that that's out, you can start on your counters to my rant. I doubt I'll have enough energy to do another one like that though for quite some time. ps. sonofchrysalis, I'm sorry but i don't really agree with your title . I do realize, though, that there are many strange economic things that are way beyond my mind.

No! You really think it's made up? That's impossible. I was totally believing the story until you said that. Now though, as I really inspect it, it does seem like it might be far fetched that a unicorn named lollytwist lives in Canterlot. :P

What, everybody knows that admin drop gold boxes. What's all this stuff about random chance? :P

Ok, will do.

I actually just started Tanki, and I can't have been brainwashed that fast (although I admit I kind of sounded like I was :) ). The reason I'm defending this is, I wasn't expecting any discount, let alone a 40% one. So you can imagine my pleasant surprise when I opened the Tanki page and it said that for Tankers Day (whatever that was) I'd get a discount. I loved the celebrations, and was very pleased with everything. I know I'm a noob without much of a brain, but it sure seems like most of you are being immature for caring about something that happened almost a month ago.

Good luck, and God bless you

great read.

I started singing "Let It Lag" ( a parody of Let It Go) and one of my teammates got really mad at me and started calling me names :) . Guess some people just don't like singing.

the saddest part was the second para where the baby in the t shirt was mentioned . I believe that part was just meant to be funny, doubt that really happened. Sorry I'm to nooby to know how to quote just a part of the whole post.

sonofchrysalis, great read again. You made some good points that anyone with even an ounce of a brain would acknowledge. Sadly, many people don't seem to have any brain at all, or else their just intent on hating you and your writing style. To all you haters: it really shouldn't matter wether there's a 50% sale, a 40% sale, or a 10% sale, it's a sale no matter what. Many of the more knowledgeable among you will know the old idiom, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth," so don't.

It's called a hook, it gets people to read it. It certainly seemed to work too.

i agree

I didn't have time to read all the other posts before I did this, so I might accidentally be copying somebody. Tour Guide: Our first stop is the chat room. Here all people from the noobiest noobs, to the greatest Generalissimos gather to converse about all sorts of things. You might find a lowly sergeant staring in awe at a warrant officer, or a lovesick teenager pleading for a girl to come talk to him. Often you'll find two players insulting each other while others fruitlessly warn them about the dangers of getting banned. Despite the downsides, though, The chat is a fine place to Jaw about past battles and have a great time. I'd like to say more, but sadly we're out of time and words. Words: 104, sorry P.S. Mr.sarcastic please come and express your witty satirical judgements, I'd like to hear your take on some of the posts here :)

sonofchrysalis3, thank you for this article, great read. I have quite a few friends who waste their time trying to find useless crystal hacks. Keep up the good work.

Can we use color?

How about Flag bearer tag. Each team has a flag bearer, your team is trying to kill the opposite team's flag bearer and take the flag. A random person will be chosen as the flag bearer, you can't give the flag to any other teammates. Isidas can't heal the flag bearer. If the flag bearer dies then another teammate can pick it up before an opponent takes it. The game wouldn't restart if the flag is captured, it would be like normal capture the flag and one team would get a point. a new flag bearer will be chosen after every point. I play this in real life with my friends and its pretty fun. Please feel free to add any suggestions.
