Yes, there will be changes. I like to get to know people and their strengths and use those strengths to the absolute best of their potential. If you're asking me whether I'll be firing anyone, that depends. I might have said this in the past — I'm not afraid of making unpopular decisions as long as it's for the greater good. I love to give people all the rope they need — they'll either climb it and achieve something, or get tangled in it (not really the analogy I use but this is a PG forum...) and get lost. My priorities are (as far as "visible" changes go): building a rock solid eSports and parkour events calendar catering for sub-communities, starting with the Arab community who will be getting V-LOG subtitles starting this week reviving facebook events so you people have something to do even outside the game Maybe... dunno really. I've done it before when I croaked out "Happy birthday Tanki V-LOG" lol Actually... no lol. Sorry to rub it in :D Hmm... hard to say. I'm a real foodie. I actually started out my writing career as a ghost writer for a chef. Actually... nope :D That's hard to say. I need to optimize my current team first. There's lots of potential that hasn't been properly used up until now (see my reply earlier in this post), so I wanna start with that first. Yes, definitely happening soon. I've got DS working on a detailed plan for regular multi-level tournaments that we're thinking of having every few months, as well as smaller events held regularly. I feel your pain guys, seriously, and I'm gonna make it go away. I promise. Do a couple of swear words qualify as a "yes"? Hmmm... I guess no :D Yes, I'm employed with TO as tne English Community Manager.

Go :D

Man, don't say that. It's a good thing to apologize for a mistake, but calling yourself "stupid" is never justified.

JJanis, let's stop all this talk of "you have haters". You're only adding fuel to the fire, and that is NOT acceptable here, especially in a thread where we should be celebrating each other's creativity. Mia, I want to see your artwork in there. C'mon :)

AAAAAQAHHHHHH.... MY EYES!!!! THEY BURN!!!! :lol:

Of course. Michelangelo didn't stop with the Sistine Chapel did he? :D Just make sure you submit the best quality work you can. It takes a lot of time to go through all the submissions :)

Frequently Asked Questions (WIP) About Myself About my Work About the Team About the Community About the Game About Tanki X / Other

Animated Gif created by @TS7StudioHD ATTENTION === THREAD OPEN AGAIN Hey, I'm reopening this topic so you can continue asking questions. You can think of it as my "virtual office" :D I'll try to keep as up to date as possible, and add any frequently asked questions to the... wait for it... "frequently asked questions" post in this thread :) If your question hasn't received an answer yet, please feel free to ask again. Of course, be so kind as to check the FAQ posthere first. I've sorted the questions and answers into categories to make them easier to find. Original Announcement

Lol, I can almost see him dressed as Hannibal from the A-Team :D (maaan that comment made me look ancient)

The answer to your question is in the FAQ in the second post.

Wow, cool! Thanks everyone. Keep them coming :)

ELIZABETH1122, I hid the bottom part of your reply underneath a spoiler to avoid having a "wall of text". Also, thanks for referencing the wiki pages — readers will find them helpful :) Regarding your first point about buying crystals, I really don't think there's a need for that. The only thing a player needs to do is set a reminder to log in ever few weeks, depending on his/her rank. Don't buy crystals unless you want to buy them.

I've posted an in-game message and on social media too. Those will probably get more attention than the homepage will.

I don't think that's a very practical thing to do. Usually nickname changes are done by people who have invested a lot of time and energy in their account, which also means they're probably a high rank, and that would make the required inactivity time very long. Let's take you as an example. You're a Major General. That means that you'd have to leave your account inactive for 240 days, without ever logging into it at all! In all that time, it would probably be a lot easier for you to bring in the amount of crystals required, than to abandon your account. Plus, if you've ever bought crystals, the waiting time is 3 years from your last purchase.

Hi all, I want to make something clear here. This isn't about who's popular, unpopular, famous or infamous. This is about taking cool artwork and videos and giving them a platform on the Wiki. Yes, there's cool stuff on the forums, but not everyone looks in there, and sometimes it's a bit daunting to wade through page after page of artwork. The wiki will give it more structure and make it easier to find what you're looking for. I've posted announcements via in-game messages and social media too, for those who don't check the forum. But, if you know someone who might be interested, please do me a favor and let them know in case they missed the official announcements. Deal? Thanks ;)

They have some lovely work. But I think there are also some other very talented people in here. Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Hey all, The team at the Tanki Online Wiki wanted me to share with you the following important announcement. It looks like a cool initiative and I'm looking forward to seeing what you can come up with! Read on! Tanki Online Wiki wants your Fan Arts! We've seen an increase in the number of users willing to "create" something related to Tanki Online, so we've decided to collect the best creations in our official "Fan Art" section. How can you submit your work? It's really easy! Prepare all of your creations and upload them to any hosting site (if they are videos, upload them to YouTube and set them to "Public") Save the links to the uploaded files Open this form: Tanki Online Fan Art submission Select one of the categories and paste all the links to your uploaded files, then click "Submit" We will leave this topic open for a month (till 20/05/2016), after which we will close the submissions form and start checking all of your entries, picking the best ones, and publishing them accordingly to their category. Once we've finished checking and uploading all entries into our Wiki, a closing post will be made containing the nicknames of all the users who got their creations officially published in the Wiki! P.S. A personal note from me (Cedric) Please note that: Please do not be offended if your artwork doesn't make it into the Wiki. Not all of the submissions will be chosen. The submissions will be chosen by the Wiki team and other helpers, based on their personal preferences. The team's decision is final. Have fun!

You have to thank the mods for coming up with the idea and keeping the post updated. I think they did an awesome job.

Hey, I've added a couple of answers to the FAQ section. One is the answer to the question l.Eat.My.BuIIets asked. The other is about the nicknames of accounts that aren't linked to an email address. The FAQ in case you missed it is here.

I've asked our programmers. The official reply is as follows (I'll add it to the FAQ post too): Forum activity is NOT (emphasis mine) considered game activity. Therefore, if a player is active in the forum, but is not active in the game, his/her account will be considered inactive and will be renamed accordingly.

I'll ask about that one and get back to you.

Hi all, From what I see, it looks like all of your questions have been answered, with all the answers being posted in the FAQ here (a big thank you to the forum mods and helpers who took care of updating it). From this point onward, if you have any questions, please refer to the FAQ linked above. If your question hasn't been answered there, please ask and let us know that your question isn't answered in the FAQ. We'll make sure you get your answer and that it is also added to the FAQ. Thanks! :)

Read the original post again. Nobody is taking anyone's account. Your hard-earned achievements are going to stay there where you left them. The only thing that will change (assuming the account becomes inactive) is the nickname.

I'm happy to answer anything as long as it is asked politely, and without malice. The only things I won't answer are the really personal questions about family etc.

I think when you focus on the right things, you naturally attract the right people to the team, while the wrong ones automatically fall away. This is also my plan for the community in general. But I'll write more about this in the AMA, if the right questions get asked :)
