Hey @Maf , speaking of 'forum lore', how many times has tanki closed the complaint threads and re-started as another complaints thread or (now) something else? The only reason the complaints thread and TCSOTO were similar in posts is because most of the players don't really like tanki and/or the current state of tanki. You can't make the game crappier and expect no one to voice their opinion AND complain about it. But I guess shutting down one negative thread is one way to reduce negative reviews of tanki.

I got bored of carrying and left. (90 seconds in--a thread that someone else started but is eerily accurate) There is no honor in a tanki-carry. Means nothing.

It isn't my picture, fyi. It's Paul's. It says something to me. It very vividly describes something to me. I'm sorry you don't have that insight. Maybe you're a buyer and forget what it's like to play as a non buyer? Maybe you get a lot of free mod-stuff for your accounts and forget that you have to grind with lesser equipment to be in the top 3? Not sure, only you can answer why that picture didn't tell you a story. Either way, deleting posts by people who show up to post (good or bad) on a dying forum is ________ (<---- insert whatever you think it is here). You can--and do--'play' however you feel on any given day. That has been proven time and time again. The last time I posted a picture of the number of views the 'helpers' thread got, it jumped by 50 views overnight. The last time I posted a 'this thread should be unpinned' due to several months of inactivity, 4 posts magically appeared within 24 hours. You'd think if you'd want to save the forum of which you personally identify with, you'd delete less and join the conversation more. I mean... the whole point of a forum is posts. Not rules to delete them.

Carrying is a waste of time and resources--as the score (and rewards) can attest. The various titles and contents probably did not restrict posting to just text, though... I have not been a forum visitor for all that long (relatively speaking). Only when game wait-times skyrocketed (as players left) and with terrible matchfaking teams, it created an inevitable boredom that was alleviated (slightly) by joining the forum. This might surprise you, but back in the day, I tried to give actual constructive ideas to help cease the loss of players. At the time, I was not aware that the developers did not give a flying f for any suggestions that would not make their investors (more) money. (So I thereafter laughed at the statements of 'constructive criticism'--as it should be re-worded to 'money making suggestions') Either way, if legacy started it, congo continued it.

In the original parameters of the thread that congo started, it doesn't say text only, though.

On the contrary. A picture is worth a thousand words. And in this case, and in taking this post independently (as to what I remember his opinion of tanki to generally be), he is of the opinion that the matchmaking system is terrible (based on what his team achieved and what his enemies achieved).

key word.

Time to enter a game and wait on pause until it ends...

You just proved that they don't have to do anything at all and you'll still pay money to play the game.

If bots are a 'thing', then why am I still being put into matches where some of the enemy tanks' gear scores are 2x and 3x my gear score / Would those not be more fair to include bots instead of wildly over-powered enemies?

Just wondering which rule this picture violated. (Or was it removed for personal reasons?) * Accountability: zero.

lol

Was there a release date given...?

And is pausing the bot-juggernot's shot--mid-discharge-- so that it's turret can rotate and hit an enemy tank a new thing or has that always been present?

Does the bot AI turn off for the team that is winning a match?

Lets see if anyone can pick out what the design flaw is here...

That was harsh. I apologize for that. Mostly.

I could not have put it better myself.

do we have a release date yet?

I honestly don't think any of you know what is and isn't a forum violation anymore. This place needs to end.

LMAOOOOOOO 8 kills (4 kills, twice) for gauss on the other team. I'm here for it.

But you were... were you not? Does none of what I wrote jog your memory for forum bans/violations? No judgment, just asking. Ex bakers can still make bread from memory Ex cops still know the rules to arrest someone Ex F1 drivers can still tell you what gear a car is in from the noise it makes.

When did I ever say that? But first. You tell me this. Why is the above post still active, but this was deleted...

I don't think any of what we have talked about are conspiracies. Common sense dictates that it isn't good business to advertise (in any capacity) how many people hack in an online game... (you were the one who brought up conspiracies, my dude). And it's funny that post is even still up because it's literally a copy and paste of statements from other posts that were taken down. You can apply whatever conspiracy you think is going on to that one as well.
