Nope. I don't team. I don't trust anyone. :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: But as my luck would have it, I ran out of battery and exited the game. :(

A lot of spots would be freed if people stopped entering from their alts. And sure, if you want, I'll finish the next puzzle in 5 minutes and enter through 50 accounts then we can have this debate. :)Also, just to clarify, I am not 'jealous' or anything. I solve puzzles purely for the sake for intellectual satisfaction. As in the this case, I entered more than 12 hours after the puzzle was published even though I knew that I wouldn't win anything. Even my Sergeant alt account has over 50k crystal, so yeah I'm in no dire need of crystals. I made the request just for the sake of keeping things fair to all. Solving the puzzle a few minutes earlier doesn't give anyone the right to steal 4/5 more spots.

Yeah. I'm aware of that issue which is why I said it can't be solved from your side. Even an IP check wouldn't have helped since two or more players can be using the same Internet connection to play. So, yeah.... We can only rely on the honesty of players.

I hate the fact that people are using their alt accounts too. So, instead of 50 people (which is actually a very less number considering our population), the number of people wining is actually 30-40.-_- Of course, you can deem this to be a rage post due to not wining but it's not. I always enter using one account only (unless there can be unlimited number of winners like EURO). If you want crystals on your alt, then just enter using that account only! How can you enjoy crystals at the cost of others? Of course, I realise that there is no effective method of identifying alts and hence this issue cannot really be handled from the administration's side. I can only appeal to you guys to enter only once.

As you might have noticed, Tanki isn't supposed to be realistic in any way. Many turrets like isida, freeze, shaft, etc don't even exist in reality. Vulcan is fine the way it is. I don't see the need for it to be changed. But again, that's just my opinion. You can post your ideas in Ideas & Suggestions Section . You can discuss Vulcan in Let's discuss Vulcan! .

RIP

Um.... Two topics? Much flood?

No pls, I will leave my mark. The world shall not forget me. I'll make sure of that. :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

No. It won't add up. You'll get the prize according to your team's result. If it wins, you'll get 50k. If it comes second, you'll get 25k and so on.

Damn! Portugal really took the game down! Wasn't expecting that at all..... :o

Well, if India was available I could have got you trucks of various exotic food items you've never tasted before :D. But that will only remain a dream now.. :(

You quite misunderstand my intentions. The vehemence in my argument was purely for the sake of emphasising on the inaccuracy of yours. Let me give you a simple analogy. Imagine an earthquake strikes a country. Much distress and damage is caused. In such a situation, there is a high demand for emergency services. Inspite of everything, many people won't receive help in time. Can they really blame anyone? The poor emergency services are jam packed with requests pouring in from all sides. Of course, the analogy is quite crude, but try to understand my point here. Tanki can only recruit more moderators if more of them apply. If no one applies, then how can they make more moderators? All of us know that more of them are needed. In fact, as a direct proof, applications to Battle_mod position were opened today. We can hope to see more moderators in the near future. But do not expect a sudden rise in their numbers to an extent that all battles will be watched over. We have to be realistic. Crying over spilt milk never does any good and to be honest, that is exactly what we are doing here. 'The system is not effective.' Yes! We know that. What can we do about it? I'll tell you: 1. Suggest some cool ideas on how this issue can be dealt with. 2. Become a moderator and help fight this issue. 3. Help the moderators by taking videos and reporting the violators in the violators section of the forum. If you still think I am wrong, we can argue about this in PM. I do not wish to make a bigger issue out of this.

Only Europe? :'(

Change in DM's, huh? I'm quite excited! :D

I don't even see how 'kids' can be insulting. 'What's that? You call me a kid? ..... Gee, Thanks.... I do feel quite young and cheerful... XD'

Well, my luck is just bad. Last week, I was in a train. This week, there was a power cut.... -_-

I get where you're coming from and I totally sympathise with your perspective. Let me put it in points:1. Moderators are volunteers. They cannot be created or enlisted as and when required. 2. Just because there's a lack of mods doesn't imply that all who are applying shall be enlisted. If you don't have the skills, you won't be enlisted. As simple as that. 3. The procedure isn't slow neither is the effort half hearted. If you have all the qualifications and experience, becoming a candidate will hardly take more than a fortnight. I wouldn't call that slow. 4. Tanki does protects it's customers. The fact that sabotage is against the rules is more than enough proof of that. The execution of that, however, usually requires our participation by taking a video of the said saboteur. As of now, that is the only way to ensure punishment for the inaction. You might remember the 'kick' feature from 2013 which was introduced to fight sabotage but it backfired resulting in innocent players being victimised. So, I'm going to reiterate this, if you have any ideas on how to fight sabotage other than 'bring more mods', kindly suggest. If you don't, then this rant is going to lead nowhere.

If you're suggesting that the company make effective moderators out of thin air, you know how preposterous that idea sounds. Out of seven years, I have been here for the past four and sincerely speaking, the situation today is a lot better than it was back in the old days when moderators abused their powers for crystals and personal gains. Learn to appreciate what you have. You do not want to go back. Remember that mods are volunteers. Normal players like us who are using their time to help instead of just playing. Not many people are willing to do that and many of those who are, are not qualified or responsible enough.

Quite an unsympathetic attitude you've got there. You expect first class services to be delivered at your doorstep and yet when you're asked for suggestions on how to do that, you have none. Well, if you don't then it's better to quietly make-do with what you're getting. You're also wrong about the moderators issue. I can assure you that selecting a moderator, and especially a game moderator, is preceeded by extremely strict checks on their karma, IP address and various other factors. Even after that, there is a candidacy period in which he/she learns to wield their power in the right manner. All in all, it is no easy task to either select a battle moderator, or become one.

Well, perhaps you would like to suggest a better method, then? I'm sure TO staff will be glad to receive some feedback and suggestions on this matter.

As for the last issue, I think it's not because of lack of Beta Testers but due to the limit on amount of players that server can currently hold. As has been said before, only 50 players can be playing simultaneously while rest will face client crash and a connection issues. This limit will be increased to 2000-3000 very soon and then we can expect to see a lot of activity in game.

Well, if you're aware that your outlook is cynical and pessimistic, that implies that your outlook isn't correct. And you know it.

Well, I wasn't lecturing you in particular. I just meant, in general. Sure, even I've been through a similar phase where I had to reduce my forum activity due to academics. Of course, priorities matter in life. But, as I said, you shouldn't let any fire die out. Don't give up on anything. Also, remember that no matter how hard or dark life seems to get, you'll always get through it. After each phase, you'll come out tougher, wiser and ready to face the next challenge. The next challenge will be harder and that's okay. Learn to make good use of tough times and enjoy the happy times. Trust me, there will be enough of both in life. When you're 90 years old and look back on your life, you won't regret these times. If you need any kind of help, don't hesitate to contact me on forum or Skype. Good luck. ;)

I did see A7. I was stuck on it for quite sometime until I found B6 which seemed to be the better, more clearer option.
