So I have this thing I really want to sell on eBay because it can (or seems to) fetch a decent price. Unfortunately, I'm not really familiar with how eBay works when selling. Can someone explain the shipping to me and also how to make sure my item is sold with minimum effort to sell it on my behalf? If you want, I can tell you about the item in case it helps give me better advice, also where the item is. Thanks!

I mean after hearing that people like it, that's me.

Yep, the guy running around is me lol.

thanks! It seems unlike my other writings, people don't hate this. Yay!

what I meant to say was that it was not a pun.

Yes, indeed they are. For now, nothing is that hard. When I do things like Calculus, that's when it will actually be hard. Unintended, but now that you point it out, yes. Thanks!

Thanks for all the feedback! I shall take it into consideration next time.

he/she means to say that I shouldn't crown him winner in my opinion or congratulate him I think.

I think we have a winner.

Silence. What comes to mind is a medium sized map littered with cover and places to hide, with the unique ability to support most turrets, hulls and game styles. Needless to say, Silence quickly rose to popularity since its introduction in 2010, to the extent that there were three distinct variations of it: Silence, Silence II and Moon silence. The recent update on the 1st of December brought a whole set of new changes to this map, some good and others bad. What Changed? In a nutshell, more area was added to the map. Both the red and blue team bases now have a larger play area, which solved the issue of choked paths. To elaborate, it was difficult moving around in Silence previously. You had to brake, slowly take turns and move carefully, or else you could end up wedged between two walls or flipped over. Thanks to the increased space, that doesn’t happen anymore and it’s possible to go around the map without slowing down much. This applies to both the red and blue teams. Other than more space, there’s now a lot more cover for Magnums to hide behind, which isn’t great because now they can stay hidden and keep on firing away, harassing players left and right. Changes to the Blue Base. Earlier, I used to love the blue team's base much more than the red team. It had the height advantage, more space and was perfect to hide flags. Also, getting to gold spots easier because all you had to do was jump down. Although these changes didn’t negatively affect the blue base, I do love the red base more now. So what caused this change in my attitude? Read on. The Highway This is my favorite change made to the blue base. Basically, this changed the area behind the flag, where defenders normally hide. Earlier, it was jam-packed and difficult to go from one place to another while using this small pathway, and considering the Titans and Mammoths that camped here, it was nigh impossible. Thanks to the changes, it's now very easy to commute from one place to another. If you plan on using a heavy hull and camping, there are supply drop zones placed conveniently behind the cover. What’s more, is that there’s more than enough cover for everybody, so there's no more pushing teammates off the ledge. 45-45-90 No More This is another great thing about the changes to Silence. The “secret” ramp to enter the blue base used to be a lot smaller, and it was a lot easier to flip over when trying to go on it. I cannot tell you how many golds I’ve missed and flags I’ve failed to return because of this one ramp. Consequently, I was quite happy when I saw it was changed to make moving on it a lot more convenient. I assume the biggest question anyone might have about this is why I call it “45-45-90.” The reason for the strange name is because it’s namesake is the famous right angle triangle, with two 45 degree angles. Since it doesn’t look like that anymore, I added the “no more” part. Overall this was a small change that makes a big difference. Crates No, this is not a giveaway. I’m talking about the map. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the crates are gone. In my opinion, this is quite helpful, because when the crates were there bullies could more easily stop you from capturing a flag. It was quite easy to get stuck in the whole crate area, especially during a high-speed flag pursuit. Changes to the Red Base I’ll start by saying that in the past, even if I could join a winning red team, I would be very, very hesitant to do so. Chiefly because of the lack of space and the height disadvantage, coupled with a lack of proper camping zones. The changes to the red base have really made it different from the one people used to know. It was a cramped place with meager amounts of insufficient space to even move before. So what are some of the new additions that really redefine the red team base? The Airstrip I think Mort’s quote pretty much sums it up. “I Like it, I Like it, I Like it First, Before I Even I saw it I Liked it, You Hate it Compared To How Much I Like it.” In case it wasn’t obvious, I absolutely love the airstrip. It’s the single most beautifully decorated place in the map. Other than the simple beauty of it, it’s also immensely practical. There’s a whole lot more space in the red base now, so you don’t feel like you’re living in Mumbai. There's more cover, making this map lend itself better to Railguns and Shafts. Finally, there are more supplies, making this the perfect place to camp. It is far enough away from the flag that your enemies won’t come here to kill you if you camp, unless you purposely spawn kill them, in which case they’ll come and try to destroy you every single time. Trust me; I speak from experience. I positively love this change and couldn’t ask for anything better than this, and even though I prefer smaller maps, I would play on this map over any other without a second thought. I love it! The Sewer System I call it this because it literally looks like those pipes that dump into the sewer. This new area was added alongside the rest of these changes, and it does bring a significant change to the game. This will be the very first spot to provide invulnerability against Magnums. There really are no benefits of camping here, other than maybe the occasional enemy, but now the red team also has a great spot to hide flags, just like the blue team, so it’s fairer. Overall: I think that these changes really help the map. Silence was a great map and a favorite of many players, but thanks to these new changes, the overall balance of the map is better for virtually any combo. The added space and advantages to the red team were much needed and so this map is a lot more fun to play on. *This is all my opinion. None of it is necessarily a fact. It is just what I have observed so far.

Oh! that's why I'm having trouble using the client?

LOL, I think the whole "Everybody is a winner" logic will be applied here far too literally.

Marc hands down. Destrod is very kind and nice too though.

hello I think that this works

Thanks!

I see. Thanks a ton for clearing that up!

Thanks for the feedback Marc! I presume that when you say the shorter sentences thing, you primarily mean the whole blob of text with insults piled on insults? Also please do change the title to "The enemy within", I think that's a lot better for a title. Thanks! Thank you!

I stared at my enemy. A polynomial with degree 4. I re-read the question. It read “factorize fully." I had practiced for this very moment, for this very question, yet memory failed to recall anything about polynomials. Suddenly I heard a voice. “You can’t do this, you don’t have an A+ in math. That’s why you will fail, that’s why this question isn’t one you can solve you loser. You’re no good, we all saw that, now didn’t we?” “No… no you’re wrong. I can do it. I don’t need an A+ in maths, grades mean nothing!” “Yes they do… and you know it. Just give up already, and maybe it’ll break your ego rather painlessly.” That was it. I put my mind to it now. I couldn’t afford to be wrong at this point, not again. I looked once more at my enemy. x4+6x2+9. Suddenly it came to me. The solution was (x2+3)(x2+3)! I had done it! I beat the question! “Well done loser! You got past the first question! There’s plenty more surprises to come, worry not!” “I don’t care how hard a question is, I simple refuse to give up!” “You think I care? I don’t think that you will fail this test, I know it. I know you didn’t do absolutely everything. Spare me the drama, I know you best, and you didn’t give it your all. You don’t truly love maths; it’s Tanki and Asphalt 8 you love.” I felt my spirits fall. I did love maths, with all my heart. Even still, I did play lots of games too. Was I right? Or was this other person right? I decided to ignore it. Next! My next opponent was not as tough. Simply determining the equation of a line which passed through (0,0) and (1,1). Easy enough I thought. “You can’t solve this right. You’re not at all careful. You never pay attention. You will always fail.” I continued going. Solving questions. The toxic taunting didn’t stop. I was repeatedly hearing words such as “you suck at math,” and “math isn’t for the stupid like you.” The only thing which kept me going was hope. Hope that it’ll all turn out fine. That the many hours between me and my tutors wouldn’t go to waste. Now I was at the last question. The most challenging of the lot. As usual, I had no practice with how to solve it and no idea what to do. As always, I jumped to solve the question. “Puh-the-tic! This question is out of your league. Go back to the place from where you came. To the gamers. It’s worthless, you cancerous pile of garbage. You don’t help anyone in your family, you yell at your brother. All for what? So that you can continue your games? Your future is dark and desolate, without even a faint glimmer of hope. It’s covered in darkness and nothing more. You’re doomed to fail. A black hole is brighter than your future, and that says a lot, because a black hole is so dark, you can’t see it!” The insults never stopped. I couldn’t take the constant battering anymore. It was too much. All the insults, the rudeness. Yet as much as I wanted to leave this terrible, horrible, toxic person, I couldn’t. Why? Because this toxic person is me.

I think over 800 dp is good.

I think I've decided what I;ll buy. Thunder m3 and Shaft m3 (will m4 thunder soon after hopefully, because at m3 it isn't all that great. I have Viking and Mammoth and Dictator, so those turrets should be fine I think.

Thanks for these statistics! Being a math and science person, It really does help to see all the probabilties!

Wish I could become better at Maths. I love the subject, but I don't feel I am quite as excellent as I'd like to be. The same goes for writing.

Well, it's actually more of a reboot. I'm not overly creative at stories, so I think if it's okay with you and the judges of the contest, I'd prefer to keep my current entry. B-B-B-Busted!

okay, so shaft or hammer or thunder? I;m pretty decent with all three (but haven't used hammer much, I have it only M0) Twins, no contest.

AHHH I see what you mean! You mean that it seems like some of the parts are wayyy to streched out and I should either make it shorter or improve the strength of my plot. Got it.
