Isn't this the same as transferring funds from one account to another?

This hasn't happened in the past few months. I'm just curious as to the cause. Sometimes props like buildings, ramps and occasionally, the tanks would appear all black. I remember a building that was black on one side while the other 3 sides were normal. Tanks would be moving normally, but were blacked out. Ramps would be black instead of grey. I suppose the bug was fixed, but what caused it?

No one in particular. There's a lot of players on my friends list, but I don't know them and they don't know me. The only time I'm invited to a battle is to fill up the losing team that has no hope of recovery. The invitation can come from a "friend' on the winning team who's tired of killing someone's mult or from a "friend" on a losing team halfway through the battle. What am I supposed to do? Wave my magical stardust wand to change the tides of the battle? Won't even miss a Mod or an Admin. They don't know me and I don't know them. They are there to do a job....period. If they leave, they leave. No skin off my nose.

I think that depends on the people, not gender. Some women don't like makeup and some men want to see what the woman looks like without the mask. Personally, I'm All Naturale. I hate makeup, it makes my skin feel like it's crawling and I'm allergic to a lot of them. I'll put on a little bit of lipstick, very light, just to give my pale lips some color. I have very short hair. No fuss, no muss. So, consequently, it takes me about 30 minutes to get ready, that includes the shower. But I start getting ready about an hour before the date so I have time to chill. That kind of shoots holes in your research. Not everyone fits into the same mould.

It's the mesmerizing, blinding light of the laser. It's Hypnotic. (You are feeling very, very tired. You can hardly keep your eyes open. You are getting sleepy, very sleepy).

How do I go about doing that? Would I have to change my language preference?

If I wanted to play on a different server like ES, can I do that?

I'm mainly talking about battle mode. I edited my main post. I was here when there were all the different servers. Sometimes I would go into another server just to see what types of tactics were used.

For the first part, I agree to a certain extent. Yes, words like "Flag down" "Cover right/left" "Attack" "Defend" and such. But if a flag bearer made a "leap of faith" and landed upside down, how would the flag bearer or anyone else tell the team where the flag is down? At times, I've noticed (myself included) in CP the winning team gets so involved in TDM that they kind of forget the CPs. When the players get back into the right battle mode, they sudden realize that the CPs are the color of the opposing team. How would you say in one or two words "Stop playing TDM and look at the CPs!!"? If you were in enemy territory and saw that the enemy Magnum was between two buildings wreaking havoc on our team. How would you say in one or two words "The enemy Magnum is in the middle between the red building and the grey building"? Some players, new ones especially, don't know how to ghost tanks into enemy territory. That used to be a tactic used occasionally before the merger. How do you explain that in one or two words? As far as the second suggestion, I agree. I'm mainly talking about battle mode.

Since the merger of servers, there seems to be mixed emotions about it. Some players are angry, some are neutral, others are compromising by learning enough Russian to communicate with teammates in battle. If Tanki were to open 3 language dedicated servers, out of the ones listed below, which ones do you think they should use? Top 15 languages spoken world wide (in order according to the 2010 Census). Please note: These are Native spoken languages, not languages chosen as an alternative language. #1...Chinese (Mandarin)--955 million speakers #2...Spanish--405 million speakers #3...English--369 million speakers. Up until 15 years ago, English was #2 and Spanish was #3. English is still considered the most influential language. #4...Hindi/Urdu--310 million speakers. These 2 languages have a different written form but share many common spoken words. #5...Arabic--295 million speakers. This language has influenced many other languages, including Spanish which shares 4,000 words rooted in Arabic. #6...Malay/Indonesian--77 million Malay and 170 million Indonesian equals 247 million speakers. These 2 languages are listed together because they are closely related and both are spoken on the Malaysian Peninsula. #7...Portuguese--215 million speakers of which 150 million speak Brazilian Portuguese. Other than Portugal, it's also the official language of Angola and Mozambique. #8...Bangali--205 million speakers. The official language of India and Bangladesh. #9...Russian--155 million speakers #10...Japanese--125 million speakers #11...Lahnda/Punjabi--102 million speakers. German held the #11 slot until 15 years ago. #12--French--80 million speakers #13...German--89 million speakers #14...Javanese--84 million speakers #15...Korean--77 million speakers The official languages of the United Nations are: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, Spanish and Russian. The Hindi speaking countries have applied to be added to the list. So, of these 15 choices, which do you think Tanki should use, it they were to open 3 language dedicated servers? If, in your opinion, 3 isn't enough, then let us know how many you think would be fair and list those languages. My choices are Russian, English and French. Edited: I'm mainly talking about battle modes. From the lobby, you could choose which language the battle would be associated with.

I don't think it has anything to do with time spent, as long as you meet all your responsibilities to yourself and family. We all need friends, so don't ignore them, either. I read an article that stated (paraphrased): It's not the school system that's failing the students, it's the student's failing themselves. They spend too many hours on the computer doing non-academic activities instead of enriching their lives by reading, spending time in a library, going to museums, spending quality time with family, keeping up with current events nationally and internationally, planning for the future and working to achieve those goals, getting involved with the Community in which they live. Socialization (outside of the computer) is declining. This article was very long and went into many aspects not covered by this OP's inquiry. In short, think how life was before the advent of home computers. What did youngsters, teens and adults do then? How did they spend their time? Yes, there were games, but they were geared around real life socialization. Some families had game night every week that included the entire family and, at times, included friends and neighbors. I need to get off my soap box before this becomes an off topic lecture.

Thanks for the link. I read the topic and was very interesting. I see I'm not the only one with the spacebar/arrow combo. I'll explore it more.

I've read that article before. But I can't seem to find anything concerning the spacebar as having a problem. I just read the post you redirected me to. I didn't realize the keyboard in the article was interactive. As I read the post, I see I'm not the only one with the spacebar and arrow keys combo. I'll go back to that webpage and explore it more. Thanks for the link.

I've done some reading about ghosting, but nothing is ever mentioned regarding the spacebar. Remember, I can turn the turret and shoot at the same time, such as with Vulcan. But my tank doesn't want to respond while the turret is turning and shooting. But I can turn the turret and tank if I don't shoot. So, the problem seems to be connected with the spacebar and arrow keys.

Well, come to think of it, it happens with Isida, too. Everything seems to work fine until I get the spacebar involved.
