    New series of Twitter fun challenges!

    There's the Tanki Thinking Challenge. That's not an art contest. I'm afraid any contest is going to require you to do at least a little bit of work. There's no such thing as a contest that rewards you crystals for just pushing a button. :)

    New series of Twitter fun challenges!

    Sorry to hear this contest isn't for you. Of course, it's impossible to please everyone all the time. I guess with your schedule, your best bet would be the Question of the Week in the V-LOG, or the EURO 2016 contest that is running in the forum right now. Check them out.

    Double Battle Funds for 36 hours!

    Tankers! Just when you thought the fun was over, here’s a little surprise to lift your spirits back up again… and just in time for the weekend too! We’ve been promising you these for a while, and now they’re here. For 36 hours, till 02:00 UTC on June 19th, it’s Double Battle Funds! That means double the amount of crystals (and fun) for every battle you finish. The DBF are already in the game right now. So jump right into a battle and start raking them in! ATTENTION: Only battles that start AFTER 14:00 UTC on June 17th will feature Double Battle Funds. Battles that are already in progress at that time will NOT get double funds.

    Hey all, sorry again about yesterday's mishap. I hope you appreciate how many things the team is trying to juggle. In the end, the only people who don't make mistakes are those people who do nothing. We'll try our best not to let something like this happen again. :)

    Episode 94 of the V-LOG is here

    Actually, @DonCarnage is right. There's been a lot going on this week and the previous one, so we didn't want to add another layer. On top of that, here's a little "behind the scenes" — setting stuff up for THE GAME, including writing announcements and programming them on the various platforms that we have, is a pretty involving task. Just to give you an idea, we post announcement on the homepage, forum, facebook, Twitter, and in-game notifications. Here's how that works: Each platform is on a different system, and requires a different variant of the announcement. Homepage and Forum are usually nearly identical. Facebook and in-game are similar to each other, but in-game needs to have a piece of HTML code inserted to make the link work. Twitter calls for a much shorter announcement due to restrictions. Additionally, each of the platforms uses a completely different image size. But then there's the REAL headache... the time zones. Homepage is in UTC Forum is in UTC Facebook is in whatever time zone you're in In-Game is in MSK time (UTC+3) For Twitter we use a scheduling system that's in UTC+2 With all these time zones, it's super easy to make a mistake, so we double check everything many many times, and even then, we STILL sometimes make mistakes. To add insult to injury, not all of the above platforms can be programmed. So sometimes we need to sit in the computer and wait for the exact second to press the "Publish" button, as was the case with THE GAME. It's not difficult as such, just VERY time consuming, and sometimes VERY frustrating. Yesterday morning, I scheduled all of the posts for the TOF Dream Team tournament. It took me nearly half a day to program everything and make sure is in its proper place. By the end of the session, my brain felt like jelly. On top of that, the V-LOG is one of those things that eats up a lot of time too. So we decided to skip the V-LOG even for the sake of our own sanity.

    Temporary issues with Daily Missions

    Tankers! We are currently tweaking some minor features within a few of our maps. During the time that these changes are being implemented, the maps in question might experience bugs with daily missions, including incorrect tracking of mission objectives. Implementation and testing should be concluded by June 11th the latest. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Hi all. I want to clear something up. Today's mishap was my fault. Today was my off day, and with all the different posts to schedule, I got mixed up and scheduled the post incorrectly. Please accept my apologies.

    Episode 94 of the V-LOG is here

    Here's how it works. Kasim creates the V-LOG script, then it needs to be translated into English. Next, I edit it and pass it on to the other CMs who have to translate it into their respective languages. Out of courtesy to the other communities, I try not to publish the V-LOG before all of the subtitles have been added. On the flip side, Russia is 3hrs ahead, and it wouldn't be fair to keep my colleagues stuck in the office waiting for all of us to finish. That's why there's such a discrepancy. I hope you all appreciate how much effort it takes to bring you the V-LOG every week. We do our best to publish as early as possible, but there are some constraints that as very hard to overcome. Kamil's a very nice guy, it's just the lighting that made him look "scary" lol. As for Matias' age, don't let it mislead you. Age has nothing to do with maturity and responsibility, and Matias has both of those quality in heaps. Also, please appreciate that none of these people speak English as a first language, and they made a huge effort to step up to the camera and put themselves in the spotlight for you to see. The camera is a very intimidating thing for most people, especially when you don't have any experience in front of it. But we felt we needed to do this, because we wanted you to feel that we're there for you all, that we are within reach. We want to be more than just words on a screen to you. Yeah, Hazel does a great job in front of the camera. Plus you need to consider that English isn't his first language, which makes the whole thing even more impressive.

    Tanki Thinking Challenge

    I intentionally schedule it to appear 1 min late, because the mechanism that automatically opens the form sometimes opens it a bit late, so I do this to compensate.

    Tanki Thinking Challenge

    Unfortunately there's really nothing I can do about this. We checked the whole document for the entries and the result confirmed once again what Issho is saying. The sad thing is that I can't give you access to the document to see for yourself, because it's a company document and is covered by a very strict non-disclosure agreement. I'm sorry, something must have gone wrong on your end. Maybe the operation timed out while you were submitting the form. It wouldn't be the first time. It has happened to me in the past.
