    Ideas for Game Modes!

    Change Juggernaut mode from DM to TDM When Juggernaut was first introduced, I thought it would be a TDM with the players on Juggernaut's team would be his minions, protecting Juggernaut while Juggernaut is attacking. Here's how I imagine it would work: At the beginning of battle, one player from either team would be randomly picked to be the first Juggernaut. For this scenario, let's say the first Juggernaut is on Blue Team. The battle continues as usual, Blue vs Red. When a Red team member kills Juggernaut (gives the killing blow), that Red team member gets a big bonus plus becomes Juggernaut with the Red team being it's minions. That's the basic game play. The reason for this suggestion is because with the present mode as DM, players are killing off would be Juggernaut attackers. I played Juggernaut twice. The second time I played, I kept spawning on the opposite side of the map from where Juggernaut was. I never saw Juggernaut the entire battle because I kept getting killed halfway there. I never went back. From what I have observed during those two battles, there are few players who actually play Juggernaut battles for the challenge of being Juggernaut. They play that mode for some easy kills. I've seen Magnums sitting atop a hill raining bombs into the crowd that is trying to kill Juggernaut. If it was changed to TDM, then the snipers would be playing for a team with a common cause instead of for themselves. Kind of like ASL, but instead of defending a base, the team will be defending Juggernaut.
  2. An alphabetic list was started. If you scan through the whole topic, you will see that there are names spread all over the place, submissions mixed in with chat. I'm not sure how anyone can add to the alphabetic list, so it will probably have to be started over with the new owner(s) so the submissions can be added. It would be nice if it had a good graphics on the introduction page, but not necessary. If someone will take on the project, I will volunteer my help however I can. I'm not an avid player anymore, but I do spend a lot of time on the forums. PLEASE!! Will someone please step forward?

    Orange?

    Yes! Yes! That's what the Killer Tomatoes looked like. The next sequel should be "The Attack of the Killer Oranges."

  5. This is a link to a post started for those looking for good nicknames that aren't in use. It has gone by the wayside because Life happens and the original poster wasn't able to keep it up. It changed hands, but the list just got too overwhelming. There was a lot of thought gone into the submissions and most have already been checked (but may have to be checked again), it just needs someone who has the time to organize it and keep it organized. I wish I could do it, but as many others, I don't have the time needed to be dedicated to this project. I'd hate to see this project go to waste. Is there anyone who's interested in claiming this project? You'd have to get permission of the OPs, of course, but I don't see a problem with that. Here's the link: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=363790

    An interesting question...

    Staff of the local news. They will report the attack, get interviews, make notes and put it on TV, but will not be of any help at all.
  8. Thank you. I posted in the wrong section by mistake. I didn't think it was a bug, I was just inquiring. I'll check Q&A again. Where did you move it too? I checked Q&A and Game Mechanics: Let's discuss Matchmaking. It's in neither place.
  9. RE: MMS Sometimes, I'll click on a battle, wait for my turn in the queue. The loading bar begins, goes all the way to the end, but instead of entering a battle, I find myself back in the lobby. I can either click on another battle or the one I chose originally, Either way, I put back into a long queue. What's with this?
  10. Just saying someone hacked or some other violation is not proof enough, that's why this forum http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showforum=158 exists. You need proof...a video...of the violation. Gold drop boxes, except those owned by players, are random. No one has control over them. EDIT: I just realized that the report violation section was moved to the RU forum. @Viking4s is correct.
  11. A list of nicknames was started but not organized. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=363790
  12. MM is very dependable like that. You can depend on it putting you in a losing battle, on the losing team with less than 2 minutes left of the battle. Yep, very dependable, you can take that to the bank.
  13. When in battle, I can't make out the nicks anyway, never could. They look fuzzy, maybe a little blurred. If I feel I need to talk to a player, I have to get really close, see what letter combinations and/or numbers, look at the battle list to see if I can find those combos. Or I might say "Wasp/rail quit blocking me." or something like that. On the other hand, a battle may be too intense to chat. Yes, nicks give us individuality, like our real names, but usually I'm more concerned with how everyone plays as a team rather than the individual player.

    Let's Discuss Overdrives

    Just what I said. I've seen it twice. Unfortunately, I didn't see the turret the tank had. But both times, different battles, it was a Wasp. Everytime the tank "fired up" our team was being dominated and I was killed before I could see the turret or what type of munitions it had. But I definitely saw the tank completely engulfed in flames just for a second and none of our team was near him. Maybe it wasn't the Wasp that was doing it. I don't know. Maybe it was something someone on my team hit him with. It was an explosion of flames...like a POOF!! And then the flames went out.

    Goodbye from AbsoluteZero

    Sad to see you go, AZ, but life goes on and we have to keep up with it or it'll leave us behind. Decisions have to be made and life comes first. Good luck to you and all your endeavors. Try to remember all the good times and the bad times won't seem so bad after all. I'm not at the point, yet, where I want to say my final goodbyes, but Tanki is no longer the addictive go-to game any more. I log in, read the forums, leave a wall of text and then leave. I may play for about an hour or so when the mood hits me, once every two or three days. You're right, it's no longer the fun game it used to be. Too much stress to compete. I have enough stress in my life without a game adding to it. See ya 'round the campfire, if there ever is one. Have a good one.
  16. Love is like a rose bush; beautiful to look at and smells so sweet, but so full of thorns. My Mom. RIP.

    What type of drone or alteration gives a tank the effect of being engulfed in flames before firing?
  18. From what I have read, so far, the problem is controls. I've seen others playing mobile games, twisting and turning the phone around and using thumbs all at the same time. I think I get the picture. If using mobile is a disadvantage, then the icons shouldn't be by default. Let the player make that decision. Some players may find it helps to let others know that they are not playing the best because they are on mobile, while others may find it a hindrance as @TaffyTank had noted in post #10.

    Math

    This is for all you whizz kidzz. I have a simple math problem...this is not a troll. For some reason my brain is not juggling the numbers right. I have to travel 1 000 km. I have traveled 81% of that. How many more km do I need to go? I'm getting 190 km. Is that right?
  20. OK, I'll show you how dumb I am...I thought mobile and pc were on different servers. I don't play on a mobile, I don't even have a cell phone, a smart phone or anything of the like. I have a pc and a landline. Please explain to me why this suggestion is important? I've never played a mobile game.
  21. What happens when there are no Police to enforce the laws? Who's going to keep the peace? Who is going to keep everything organized? Without rules, laws and the people to enforce them, what you have is total chaos. No one to enforce the laws? No prison time, no jail time, no punishments for not obeying the laws. Supposing the Mods and Helpers stopped doing their jobs...enforcing the rules. Is that the type of forum you want? Forget about what's right and wrong. Do you want to live in a community, city, state, country that has no laws, no rules to follow. Humans, by nature, are Barbarians. Lack of rules and laws brings out the worst in us. We have to have rules and those to enforce them to prevent chaos, because that's the way we are wired. Here's another perspective. Animals who live in groups have rules to go by. It's the Alphas of the group that keep chaos at bay. If a member of the group doesn't obey the rules, the offender is kicked out of the group and will never be allowed to return. In some groups, the offender isn't kicked out of the group, but rather will be killed on the spot by the Alphas. Then if there is anything left, the rest of the group gets the spoils. Is any of this getting through to you?

    Probably so. I didn't feel any different afterwards. :lol:

    An interesting question...

    Sure, go to YT and you'll find all the proof you need. :D Yes, they speak a language just as we speak a language. Their language is just as foreign to us as our language is to them. A good pet owner will try to understand their language and try to teach our language to them. But vocalization isn't the only language they know. They are very good observers of body language. They "speak" with their tails, eyes, facial expressions, ears, body....different positions mean different demeanors. They can also read our body language. Barking or "woofing" has different meanings as well. A good Human listener can tell if their dog is barking at things that go bump in the night, or if there is real danger. One type of bark can mean someone is walking by the house, while a different more intense bark means someone is approaching the house. I won't go into a lecture here. If you want to know more, ask your browser.
  24. The forum has its rules to help keep it "clean." If there wasn't some type of order, the forum would be complete chaos. Most players would rather obey rules than to get banned.
