I've got a team working their GLUTEUS MAXIMUS off to get you not only that, but A LOT better :D awwwww... :wub: Guys, seriously I'm over the moon that everyone is having a good time with this. This first month has been really intimidating for me because I wanna do this community justice and I don't want to disappoint. I'm happy that we're on the right track. Remember the AMA thread is practically my virtual office. Talk to me and let me know what you wanna see in the community and I'll do my best to make it happen :)

Hey all, are you having fun with this? We've got more where that came from ;) Admittedly, I didn't do much. It was all in the hands of my precious "Riddlers Team". I doubt I could even complete the whole puzzle myself without some serious help :D C'mon, give 'em a hug! They deserve it. PS Did I already say we've got events coming REAL SOON??? B)

you tell 'em gal! :D

Actually these quizzes and puzzles are gonna go on for quite a few weeks :)

We're limiting one answer per user to avoid abuse. That's why you'll need to log in with a google account.

As stated in the original post, the puzzle will be published at 18:00 UTC

You DO NOT need a facebook account to play. The post will be public, and there will be a link to a google form. So no, you don't need a facebook account, you just need to visit the facebook page as explained in the original forum post.

Q: Do we need a Facebook account? Do we need a Google Account? Why don't you hold these events on the Forum? A: The Forum doesn't allow us to hold such events as often as Facebook does. Also, you do not need a FB account, you only need a Google Account. You are allowed to submit ONE entry for your main account and ONE entry for your alternative account, no more than these. Q: Which are the prizes? A: Each Tanki Thinking Challenge rewards 10'000 crystals to all its winners. In addition to crystals award, we also offer the chance to win 5 Gold Box Supplies every week, given to a random participant! Q: When will the Google Form appear on the official FB page? Why can't I view it? Why does it say that the form is closed? A: The Google Form's link will appear on our official FB page only after it is released (around 19.00 UTC+0 on Tuesday). If you can't view it, it means that it is not available yet or that the challenge is already over. Challenges will last for 24 hours only, from Tuesday, 19.00 UTC+0, to Wednesday, 19.00 UTC+0 — 24 hours. Q: How can I win a prize? A: You have two ways to win a prize: Be in the TOP10 — answer to all the questions correctly and as fast as you can to be in the TOP10 of the fastest users submitting correct answers and win Be in the RANDOM40 — answer to all the questions correctly and hope to be one of the 40 randomly picked users to win TOP10 users must be the fastest ones to answer to all questions correctly, while the RANDOM40 users just have to send correct answers and hope to be picked — this will let anyone and from any timezone to participate and possibly win! In addition to the crystals prize, you may also be lucky enough to be RANDOMLY picked as the winner of 5 Gold Box Supplies! Every week, we'll pick a random participant and award him / her this prize. Q: Will riddles be of the same difficulty each week? A: Each week there will be different kind if riddles and their difficulty varies each time, but it's up to you to define which are harder and which are easier. Some users may find "hard" to do today's crossword, while others may find it easy, it's a bit personal. Q: When and where will the winners be announced, and when will their prizes be assigned? A: The list of winners will be published anytime Saturday in this post. Prizes will be sent to the winners anytime on Monday.

===The Tanki Thinking Challenge has come to an end=== After almost a year of exciting challenges and millions of crystals handed out as prizes, it is sadly time to wrap up the Tanki Thinking Challenge. While I do not exclude the possibility of starting a new series sometime next year, I'd like to explore different possibilities for contests, and that takes time and effort. In the meantime, I'd like to thank the whole team behind TTC, whom I feel have done a brilliant job of creating and organizing this streak of challenges to keep you entertained. Thank you all for having participated in our games. And remember, there's a lot more happening in our community. I strongly recommend you check out the Events Forum to see what games our Event Organizers have prepared for you this month!

I agree that the April Fools celebrations were cool. In fact we intend to work on similar events. You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't give you more details than I did. The time is in 24h format, hence the zero before the "2". So, 02:00 is standard for 2:00am. Time is in UTC as specified in the post. About the promo, it's 25% bonus on all crystal purchases. So, you buy a certain amount of crystals, but you get an additional 25% for free. It's not 25% off the price. The price is the same, but you get more crystals. Also, if you made a purchase within the time frame specified for the promotion, and didn't get the bonus crystals, please get in touch with support so they can sort it out :) Here's the email just in case: help@tankionline.com Trust me, I've laughed hard at much more idiotic stuff. I've got this one joke about a yellow sheep... believe me, you don't wanna know lol. Don't ever feel bad about laughing at idiotic things. I consider them a "finer level" of humor :D

Already answered Already answered For news on Tanki X, your best bet is to follow the Tanki X Dev’s Diary. Episode #2 has just come out and you can watch it right here. See above. Yes. I'm just falling behind because the questions come in really fast, and on top of that I also have to deal with PMs and my regular work as CM. Sorry I kept you waiting. I'm trying my best to keep up :) See the answer below. Thanks for fishing that out :) Already answered. Already answered. It's "rubles". It's the Russian currency Nope. Ehm... I'm not sure I understood that. It's a secret... one of the most secretive secrets ever. B) I have no interest in commenting on the dev's actions regarding parkour. All I can say is that I intend to give parkour more importance in the coming months. Nope. Yes, the topic is still active. I'm just falling a bit behind with all the answers :) I think all combinations have their role in the game. Some are a little more "specific" and maybe less glamorous. For instance, a shaft or vulcan on a mammoth might not be a good fit for Sandbox DM, but it's a pretty scary opponent in the hands of an experienced player defending the flag. As for the oppression on non-XP-BP players, I'm not sure what to tell you. I know there are people asking for different format battles, and I'm listening to these requests. But beyond that, there's not much I can say at this point. Of course, I'll do my best to bring these requests to life, but there's really no guarantee. :unsure:

There is a TX forum but I can't be sure that's what you visited. I recommend checking with customer support. Please don't post the link here though. Nah, you gave valid information. Nothing wrong with that. Whether it would skyrocket the amount of users or not is debatable. We'd have to do the proper market research to even venture an educated guess, and even then, it's just a guess. You need to report to the Game Violations team. And without proof, there' nothing they can do. See above. Lol, you're welcome :D :) :) :)expecting a lot from you guys. Please post ideas and suggestions for the game in this forum: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showforum=182 For news on Tanki X, your best bet is to follow the Tanki X Dev’s Diary. Episode #2 has just come out and you can watch it right here. Already answered. Already answered.

Possibly. It's up to the devs really. Already answered earlier. Yep. I really have no clue. I'm not too good with the technical details of equipment. You probably should check the Wiki to find out. My pleasure. And thank you for the warm wishes. I honestly appreciate them :) And my apologies for the he/she mix-up. It's kinda hard to tell when it's just avatars lol. For news on Tanki X, your best bet is to follow the Tanki X Dev’s Diary. Episode #2 has just come out and you can watch it right here. That's highly improbable.

You'd have to ask @Lhamster. Already answered. It's in the works. I have no idea. TO is based on Flash, so I don't know how that would work. That said, I don't know much about cross-platforming. Much easier for you to look me up :) I have no idea Gonna be 39 this September Lol. You're welcome :) Yeah, would be interesting to see a port. As for how doable that is, it remains to be seen.

Yes, because like in any business, there are things that are meant to be public, and things that are meant to be private. And that is a perfectly legitimate practice. It's not like we're hiding aliens in Area 51. Of course, there are always people who will run to put on their tin foil hat and come up with all sorts of conspiracy theories. They do this either to entertain their fancy belief that they're the center of the universe, or because they love the spotlight so much that they feel the need to feed stories to gullible people just to get a following and feel important. I'm really hoping you're neither of those two. Mia, what I see right now is your attitude in this moment. I'm really not a big fan of the whole ploy of "I act this way because they hurt me". We're all responsible for our own actions, attitudes and behaviors. I judge you according to your attitude right now. And yes, it IS up to me to judge you. Everyone judges everybody. It's how we survive and how we understand whom we should trust or not. Again. You're saying you won't show a positive approach before seeing what I do. So basically you're taking a negative approach before even giving me a shot at things. I can't see how that is serving the community you care so much about. And for the record, nobody is begging you to do anything. :) I still don't know whether I'll continue with the contests. But it's good to see you're in it for the good of the community, not your own popularity or glory ;)

Aw xbin. Ifhem, kollox possibbli jekk tpoggi mohhok hemm. Biex nghid id-dritt jien qatt ma stennejtha li ha tigri. :) (Qed nimmagina lil xi hadd jipprova juza Google Translate biex jara xi ktibt, u "tigri" itihielu bhala "tigers" lol :D) Thanks :) I doubt that's the reason. But honestly, I don't have an official reply to this, and I think we've discussed it enough, so please let's not beat a dead horse.

Well, it was a pretty long post, so it wouldn't have made sense to add other posts to it as it would've been too long. Make sense now? Huh? I already gave you answers. The age bracket in the forum is a little harder to track, but not really that big a deal in my opinion. Yes Already answered earlier Already answered earlier Already answered earlier Oh I see. Why would you want to remove those? I think it adds a strategic element to the game.

From this week we're starting a series of regular quizzes and crosswords on Facebook. And that's only the beginning :) I've already mentioned a few. Basically I want more happening in the community, starting with regular events, bigger tournaments and parkour contests, and even activities in general. At a deeper level, I want to shift the community mindset towards a more pleasant attitude in general. At the moment we do not have anyone in mind. But if we find the right candidate, we'll consider it. Nope. No idea

Hey all, Just a quick note to apologize for falling behind with the replies and with PMs. Unfortunately there's only so much time I can dedicate every week to this, so it's easy to fall behind. Please bear with me ok? :) In the meantime, PLEASE keep asking your questions and I promise I'll keep answering to the best of my abilities. I want this thread to be kinda like my virtual office, where you can come and talk to me anytime. I definitely prefer you asking questions here than in PM. The advantage is obviously that everyone benefits from your question and my answer in this thread.

C'mon dude, you know full well that any misunderstanding with the graphic chart was unintentional. The text explained things very clearly so there's no room for misunderstanding. I'd really appreciate it if you avoided such accusations in the future. They're really unfair and help absolutely nobody. There were others who pointed out the possible confusion in the graphic. I accepted their comment with gratitude and will try my best to ensure it doesn't happen again. But accusing us of trying to confuse players really doesn't help at all.

While I appreciate where you're coming from with this question, I don't think it would be a wise idea. If you even forget the fact that this information is strictly confidential, there are still so many ways that it could be misinterpreted because of the lack in context. Without proper understanding of the whole context, it's very hard to make real sense of the numbers. The information would just be misleading to the majority of the readers because they have no understanding of the context of running a business the size of Alternativa; their experience is limited to running a household at best.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Ultimately it's a VERY delicate balance to strike for any game developer — juggling resources, expenses, profit and giving back to the community. And by "giving back to the community", I mean giving something beyond the game experience. If you think about it, when you buy a game for €20 (just an example), what you're getting is the game, full stop. You play the game, have fun with it for 20 hours (or however long it takes to complete it) and it ends there. Sometimes you'll get DLCs and patches, but that's the end of it. Games like Tanki Online face some daunting challenges. We're providing a game where you can play and achieve endgame content completely for free, all while maintaining a sizable team of programmers, designers and other administration staff, plus some pretty expensive equipment that becomes outdated EXTREMELY fast (which is typical of technology nowadays). On top of that, we're constantly trying to keep you happy and entertained with community celebrations and events. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a chore. We love what we do, and that's probably what keeps us going. But it would feel good if people would start seeing our perspective a little bit more, and understanding what great lengths we go to when it comes to making you happy.

Hey all, just a small request. If you want to discuss the May Festivities or give feedback on them, it would be best to do so in the official thread. That way it's easier for me to see all of the comments and have a better understanding of your reactions. As for the festivities calendar graphic in the V-LOG, I apologize to those of you who found it misleading. I'll be forwarding your feedback, maybe next time we can design it more clearly :)

I still think the comment is a little bit unfair. If we kept making every sale and every celebration bigger, pretty soon we'd end up giving equipment out for free, or even giving crystals to players for "buying" equipment. Some celebrations are big, others maybe not so much. If your partner stopped by a gift shop one day and bought you a tiny gift, I don't think you'd be upset because it's not the cellphone you got on your birthday (just an example obviously, I'm not implying you get cellphones on your birthday).
