    Deer Hunting [Tankiverse fanfic]

    Did you originally write "A Helluva Thing" to be part of this series? Or did you decide to integrate it later? It doesn't reference Tanks in it.

    Admit something!

    I admit that I: Gave away an account Still have access to an account whose name and password I found online; I did not start that account. I also did not change the password. Play Tanki on a school computer that blocks Tanki and miniclip; I downloaded the client onto another computer, then stuck it onto a thumb drive, then uploaded it onto this computer. Renamed the tanki folder to "Messerschmitt" and the tanki icon to "Kahn_academy_progress_0.1" so that parents don't find it if they searched the computer for "tanki."

    The meaning of life

    I am 15. Checkmate. I was trying to avoid brainwashing. Which it seems I may have due to the fact that few people think this way, or more precisely, are consistent with Evolutionary thinking. At any rate, I came up with the ideas independently, so I brainwashed myself. It is how humanity will always work, or at least revert to. The weak and/or peaceful are conquered by the violent and strong. And only the strong remain. Any alternatives are fragile and delicate, laced with fissures and in a various state of collapse. Are emotions restraining us? It is the way forwards, but no one wants to go forwards for that sake alone. They want to have something they feel that they can have. They think they can have it because they are stronger. The more powerful wins and lives. The result and affect are the same, though what is going on in man's minds may be different. And irrelevant.

    The meaning of life

    Look, if you want peace, and I want war, then I can conquer you. Why should we pick something as unnatural as peace when we can fight and compete like organisms have for eons? It is what propelled life forwards to better designs. As it is what brought life to its current state, I think conflict in order to grow stronger is the true meaning/purpose of life as a whole. Combating ethnic states would be the best way to advance life forms to higher intelligence and fitness levels. According to the theory of Natural Selection, the meaning of all of our individual lives is to ensure the survival of the strongest in our species, to survive, and to reproduce.

    The meaning of life

    Yup. It's awesome. I hope we enter into ground combat with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Once I am old enough to look 18.

    The meaning of life

    "If all the wars could cease, And the world be in blissful peace;" War is ​bliss n00b. An offshoot of natural selection, with the winners the individuals and societies who have good teamwork, intelligence, technology, numbers and bravery. The real solution to overpopulation: glorious clean combat, with no chemicals or nukes that will affect generations to come. Just a few more blows upon the anvil on which civilizations are proven or destroyed... :ph34r:
  8. "HP: as you all know, the hp bar is just a well, bar. I believe the bar should be removed, and the hp bar moved as a "Window" moved to the right-hand side of the screen. There, it'd be displayed as a number. That way, you can hopefully know how much damage you are sustaining, and how much hp you have left. This should apply to teammates, allowing isidas to operate efficiently in combat." Bad idea. You have to take your eyes off your tank. "But it's only for one second." When fighting, you can't bother really, a second is longer than you think.

    The Nightmare - Part 1

    ^What he said. Try breaking up your text walls into shorter, more concise paragraphs that add up in a linear fashion. Focus on the setting in one brief (say 5 sentence) paragraph, then on the actions, then on your emotions, then back again to settings. "Suddenly I saw that the noise frequency had increased even more." I have never seen a noise frequency. Try "observed."

    Leadership Development

    That "motivational" poster is crappy mathematically. If you wanted to see the difference in a day over a year, you would use multiplication, not putting 365 as an exponent. 0.99 x 365 = 361.35 1.01 x 365 = 368.65 Using exponents greatly exaggerates the difference. And people who manipulate numbers control the weak. :ph34r:

    Whats The Hardest Thing You`ve Done

    ^I volunteered to give a presentation in a history class. I was the only one in class to do so. I explained about aviation in WWII. It took over 1 hour. No problem if you understand the subject, even if you aren't very social. Hardest thing... I missed the bus. I was 27 miles from home, and had my bike. So I biked home. I started at 7, got home at 10:30pm. It was dark the whole time. Kinda cold, but that's fine, because you aren't cold if you exercise. Went on an old historic highway that no one uses, but is well maintained. I only saw 1 car. By the time I got home, my parents had had the fright of their lives. They called 911, and reported me missing... lol. (BTW, from The Dalles, OR campus to Hood River)

    The Enemy Within

    Polynomials are easy. Algebra is important. But it gets harder. Far harder. Have fun. Have fun even if you aren't good at it. Just because you can't do it very well doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it.

    Double Funds and Crazy Weekend

    Got: 150 Repair Kits 150 Double Armor 10,000 crystals. I'm quite happy. Especially since I got only 3 gold boxes last event. These prizes were far more valuable.

    Beer O'Clock [Tankiverse fanfic]

    ^Yup. Explanation needed
  21. Yes, that's another thing, lag has gone up for me (Ping). Oh, Skyscrapers and Edinburg and Chernobyl are bye-bye as well, though around the right size.
  22. RIP novel, magistral, bobruisk, cologne, deathtrack, esplanade, factory, gubakha, koholz, molotov, opposition, parma, scope (actually, good riddance), skylark, subway, stadium (although this map was for long-range turrets exclusively), maddness, gravity, and monte carlo. You were good maps that could hold, or nearly hold, around 20 players.

    Why I don't play Tanki like I used to

    I kinda LIKE the harsh economy. Welcome to planet earth and capitalism. Players who make wise financial choices get advantages. Buyers get advantages. And they can crush the 99% less fortunate. Picking a combo and sticking with it is important. Also, players who used to use MUs were at a disadvantage. That has since changed.
