One of my worst games was on a Noise CTF very recently. I had just bought Vandal kit a few minutes earlier, and was eager to test it out. Joined Red on a no-supply Noise CTF, first to 10 flags with no time limit. My team was strong, we had 2 Firebirds mued to M3 equipped with Compact Tanks. Me and them simply blew the enemy off the battlefield. We had an Isida who was extremely talented at the role of a dedicated healer. It was great. We raced into a 9-0 lead, with me in first position with over a 1k score. "9-0" we all (or most of us thought). "Let's camp them for a bit." 2 players, one of them a friend of mine, suggested taking the flag so we could be prepared to capture as soon as (or if) the game went Blue's way. Sadly, we didn't bother, thinking that we were too strong a team to lose from here. Blue players were leaving left and right, and since Auto-Finish was off, we decided to keep camping. Little did we know that disaster was around the corner. An M2 buyer (who had been getting destroyed while using Firebird), changed to fully micro'ed Isida M2. One of my M3 firebirds quit, due to time constraints (battle had lasted 40 minutes already) and the other had changed to Freeze M1 for a joke. We were totally unprepared. Several Blue players joined at once, and we suddenly found 4 (yes 4) Isida M2/M3 tearing upwards through Noise in an avenging ball of healing. Worse still, when my shocked team managed to repulse the attack, we discovered another Isida healing a continuously firing half-micro'ed Vulcan M2, which was propped up, allowing clear shot at us from below. A mult had also joined our team, boasting about his prowess with Freeze M0. Another 2 of our players were Dictator and Thunder, but kept on flipping or randomly committing suicide over the nearest cliff (it usually wasn't deliberate, they must have been lagging a lot). It was a recipe for disaster. Both teams were in a deadlock for about 20 minutes, with my team slowly being forced all the way back over our own threshold. I still assumed we could win, seeing as we only needed 1 flag. Then an M2 Hammer joined their team. Paired with Isida, it made a powerful wedge. Since there was no supplies, we couldn't even defend using mines. I tried to get people to take Isida so they could heal me while I defended, but most of them were raging so hard they didn't listen. The battle was thickest in our tunnel. Finally, after over an hour and a half since the game started, they captured their first flag. Demoralized, my team essentially threw themselves over the edge into the Blue base. And in the confusion the Blue team captured again. And again. I was desperate. I had a 3k score, and the fund was 16k. We needed to win. I reported the mults several times, getting others in my team to do the same. No help came from the Mod team. I tried an alternative approach, trying to persuade some of my team to leave to allow my friends to join (friends with M3s or M4s). The 2 hour mark came and went. I was deranged, it was 4 am for me at that point. We had resorted to simply cower in our base, trying desperately to stem the oncoming hordes from below. Finally, it was 9 all. 1 of my friends managed to join, with M4 Isida. But by that point we were done. A failed attack from my team, countered by the Isida-ball. All done, 10-9 to the Blues, in just under 3 hours. Closest to crying over a game as I have ever been. Last no-supply game on Noise I ever play.

How long have you been waiting?

The worst time during my career playing Tanki? Probably being absolutely embarrassed in a 2v2 versus Generalissimos when I was Major. I was too sure of myself (with M2 *facepalm*) and I me and my teammate got smashed. Edit: Oh, the time when I lost my head during a Domination Series game versus Wollny Juniors and bought Vulcan M2 mid-game. Worst decision I ever made...

Hmm...let's see. I started this account in April 2016, during the Easter Celebrations (April). Ranked to 2nd Lieutenant by Tanki's Birthday (June the 6th?). I was Major by August, and earned 12.5k xp on Tanker's Day itself to reach Lieutenant Colonel (September). I then eased off and only ranked to Colonel during Halloween. I then ranked to Brigadier a week later (No lifer :P), and Major General 2 weeks after that. I've been Lieutenant General since early December. On my alt accounts I've been much faster. I ranked from Recruit to Warrant Officer 2 in less than 3 weeks. On @Viperstrike, I left the account after Sergeant. I came back and ranked it up to Warrant Officer 4 in 3 weeks or less. Yeah, rankup speed depends on my normal life.

You have to have a "Pro Pass" to be able to create a Parkour battle.

My experience with the Support Desk... 1st time) I sent an email, describing my situation (how I could not buy using any payment method other than Paysafe, and since I'm currently under 18 I must also buy the Junior version and asking whether Junior Paysafe was available as a payment method). They replied "No, but it will be introduced in October". I waited till mid-November before emailing again, asking why Junior Paysafe wasn't in the game. "Hello! Unfortunately, we don't have any exact information regarding the issue at the moment. Please use another payment method." was the response I received. I clearly stated in my first email to them that I couldn't use any other method, since Gift Cards were down. Ah well. 2nd time) I emailed them about the availability of a nickname. They never replied. 3rd time) I waited a week before emailing the same question. I did get a response this time. Apparently Viper had purchased crystals, so even though it had been inactive for more than a year, I'd have to wait another 3 before I could claim it. I then asked why had the account's garage been reset (it had been reset to Smoky + Hunter M0 only). "Hello! Unfortunately, we don't have any exact information regarding the issue at the moment." was the response I received. 4th time) I emailed asking whether One4All card was available. Finding that it was not, I replied asking if it would ever be implemented. "Hello! Unfortunately, we don't have any exact information regarding the issue at the moment." Sometimes I wondered whether I was talking to a bot... 5th time) This time they were actually helpful. I inquired as to whether several nicknames were available. Best response ever from them. "Hello! Yes." 6th time) Probably slowed the process down, but after waiting for 4 days I emailed Support and asked why my nickname still hadn't been changed. They essentially replied "Back off, we're still checking you out" but in a politer form. 7th time) This was funny. I accidentally deleted my email containing "The Game" code. I emailed for a replacement, not seeing the "What if I didn't receive my code" link on the website. Maximum of 7 days? The Game ends in 3 days... :D Savage Tanki... Anyway, got help from a friend who pointed me in the right direction. Thankfully I got a new code, otherwise I would have had to wait till this morning, when Support finally emailed me back telling me exactly the same thing as my friend did. I would have lost my place in The Game had I waited. Anyway, those are my experiences. Not particularly impressed with their grammar ( Junior Paysafe not available, Sorry for inconveniences caused etc). I did write out a feedback, which wasn't very positive. I know that they are busy with a lot of work, but if they took longer and actually helped with the problem it would make me think more highly of them. Oh, I'm still waiting for my nickname to be changed :)

The "Pause" time length got reduced from 5 minutes to 2 minutes in a recent update. If your finding the browser version slow, simply download the "Client" version from the main page, here. It may take some time to load in your first few games, but it will definitely be worth the switch, as the Client will eventually load battles super-fast (once it has stored the information for that map). Less players? No, Tanki is as popular as it has ever been. Most of the servers were full or close to full during the Christmas period. It's just a "Back to School" low as people get back into a daily routine. Don't worry, Tanki isn't dying yet :)

If you explained your problem in proper English, without inserting punctuation and exclamation marks wherever you feel like it, or using cap locks; someone might be able to help you out :) If you have to refresh your Tanki every time you change your weapon, it would suggest your computer simply doesn't meet the requirements to play this game.

Never been below 1 :P 2.16?

Please try and stay on topic please. If you wish to discuss features of the game, please use the "Game Discussion" Forum. Thanks!

Need.Another.Rank Claimed, Unclaimed, Reclaimed Courtesy of the AWC nugs. And something I spotted while on an alt...

:( <_< Obviously have plenty of friends on the forum... I shall miss... Any of the AWC Reporter Team: Members of the AWC: Clanmates: Old Old Friends: Please don't leave anytime soon! :wub:

There's a clickable dot on the Bro! gift. Click it and it takes you to a question.

Yep, happened to me as well. Tried multiple times to reinstall the Client, clear out the cache etc; No success.

Farewell @BLASTER872. Thank you for being supportive, persevering, hard-working Clan leader. Stay in touch k?

DM on Had to mildly drug due to a drug-full M2 Fire ( <_< ) and a full-drug M2 Hammer :rolleyes: Thankfully the Fire only had M1 Hornet and the Hammer was pretty noob (didn't turn turret etc).

Seriously, having Thunder M3 at Colonel rank was nothing special a few months ago. People (such as myself) could simply buy the Bulldozer kit for a fairly reasonable price at Lieutenant Colonel and it was great! I managed to buy it without buying any crystals (I didn't buy back then). The M3 Thunders you see could be slow-ranking players who bought that kit before it got removed. With time they will completely disappear, don't worry :)

I myself usually find I can talk my way out of a fight, in the rare occasion that one might spring up.

Nope. As far as I know, no memes such as that have been made about me. :ph34r:

Omg you're a mind reader! :o Congratz on the rankup ^_^

Nope. That was an option though. :P :ph34r: You steal my name and... :ph34r:

Tried to Sumo @Hate... Didn't end all that well for me :rolleyes:

Sent an application to change my name :D No reveals yet :ph34r:

Striker is extremely annoying as a defender on a no-supply battle. The rapid 4 shot kills almost anything, making escaping with the flag almost impossible unless the Striker is dealt with first. I've done 3 Noise CTFs where this has been the case.
