Yo @Sacrifice, Episode 02 hitting the AWS (or the Newspaper :ph34r:) any time soon? This was one of the really engaging and enjoyable articles...

Ah, I see... And I wondered why you hadn't explained the "shots"... xD Yeah now I'm beginning to look at this article in a different way... I did think that it was a guide of sorts! Thank you for clarifying that bit. It's not confusing now. As a review, it's a pretty cool article! Thanks again!

Congratulations to @FTL for becoming a Help Site Consultant! I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate @OTPAI3A for becoming a Designer! I'm sorry I didn't congratulate before... I wish you both all the very best!

Mr.Riddler will most probably disagree, but even he know that he has a good PC suitable for games. I specifically mentioned that one cannot play on "not-so-decent" PCs. No one will disagree with you if your opinions are truths. Irrespective of how they see/treat you.

I kinda agree with Joeguy - if one cannot play, what's the point of any change? I haven't been able to play on PC (even with all graphics settings set to minimum) without eye-strain or headaches. While I did play on the Android app on phone, and I did enjoy large maps & 16v16 gameplay, BUT the problem remains that I cannot play on a not-so-decent PC. Even if I play a Pro battle in a large map with more than 10 odd players, my frame-rate drops and lags become frequent. Imagine my plight in MM. This 16v16 change is something that should NOT be made permanent or compulsory (if we play MM). That's for sure.

There should be an option to copy the battle link while we're in the battle... like it could be in the <Options> menu. I don't know how to describe it or what it's called, but you remain on the same webpage throughout your gaming session on HTML5. The URL in the address bar / URL bar remains https://tankionline.com/play/ irrespective of the battles you join or the section you visit... this makes it difficult to send battle-links...

I won't lie, this was pretty confusing... First of all, I couldn't connect the text with the adjoining images. Secondly, I can't really see the actual description of the shot, as in how to execute the shot. In fact, after rereading the article, I'm beginning to think that you are actually referring to where you can shoot rather than any particular shot... Could you please explain, @Hexed?

Well, all time-based contests tend to be unfair for certain time-zones, and nothing can be done about it. However, these contests can be made a bit fairer by adding prizes which are not based on speed of submission. This contest has a consolation prize of 15,000 crystals, which will be given randomly. There are many other cool Newspaper contests which aren't based on speed. They are the various writing contests like Describe This in 100 Words, Caption This, Comic Captions, etc., and they don't require you to submit your entry faster than the others. You can try them out whenever they're conducted. Usually every month there is at least one writing contest (which is not time-based). Keep your eyes peeled for future contests!

@Maf hear hear! (sorry for the ping Mr. Riddler, I was merely quoting you and had no intention of disturbing you) BTW, I ranked up to 1st Lieutenant during this Ultra Weekend, and turns out I'm supposed to fight Majors now... that's a Major problem...

Congratz @Blutchidoo for becoming Assistant candidate! You applied when the team needed most... Good Luck!

Crusader. Early Access. Let's stick to Crusader, shall we, and stop them pointless flame wars? To be on-topic, I haven't got Crusader from the 2 Ultra containers I got during the latest Ultra weekend... neither have I seen a Crusader in battle yet...

will it stand a chance to get featured in the Dictator issue, but there'll be no prize (obv cuz slaves work for free over here)?

So technically this contest is still on? May we submit Christmas themed entries? ?

Was you? We need you on the TO Forum Fire Department... (To control all the flaming of course...)

I haven't come across any Crusaders in battle yet... Luck seems to have deserted most tankers...

Additionally, Gear Scores like 514 also work, but these GS values are nearly impossible for high ranks. And if you enter this contest using a Recruit ranked account (at Recruit it's possible to have 3 digit GS. So players in your battle might have the lucky number 14 in their GS), there's no point really ?...

I suggest that you don't post a "Farewell" post in case you're leaving only the game. If you stay on the Forum despite leaving the game, you're still here ? Anyway, it's your call...

This pic was just to show how to highlight lol, and also to show that you can crop the picture. But I agree that it's confusing. @Person_Random please change the sample screenshot. It's quite confusing. First of all, you've highlighted a GS that does not have 14, and second, you've highlighted your own GS (again that's against the rules :kekw:)...

@fghjkl54 @T879 The GS must contain the numbers 1 and 4 consecutively, in that order. For example, 1400, 1144, 1214, 9014, 7147, 9914 etc. are all valid, as they contain the numbers 1 and 4 consecutively, and 1 comes before 4. The beauty of this contest is that even if you aren't fast enough to get into the top-three, you can still get the 15k consolation prize, which is luck-based... (and not time-based)

Just to let you know, I am not "confused". I reacted with <Hmm> because I find your post interesting... The idea of devs playing like non-buyers is pretty cool... BUT Marcus is not a developer... how sad

Wow, thanks! And yeah those extra spaces before the exclamation marks were intentional, just for aesthetics. Normally I would not put a space between the last word and the punctuation. Honestly, it feels great to see this:

Can I read this story without having to know any background info? I really don't understand where this series actually begins.. But I want to read Hippin's works!

Mighty congratulations to @Sacrifice for reaching the milestone of 2000 Forum reputation points!!! ?

How about posting it here?

Wow, so this is finally out! (You didn't ask him why his avatar has a halo, PR :c) What a great personality, Marcus! You make it all sound so easy... (if only I did that something once...) Overall, excellent interview, PR, and wonderfully answered Le Komyooniti Manajer! P.S. that MotS Promo was truly amazing!
