count me in

And one more thing, I play many no supplies games, and these maps are usually played by russians, not all. It seems they follow some standards and will stop MID GAME if numbers are not even, and will wait until they are. It is one reason I value no supplies maps over all others. You know going into that map, it will be a fair contest and let the best tanks, and team win.

Taking flags with superior numbers is certainly a "right" (although that seems to be a word many teenagers toss about when it suits them) that all players have. My point is this, you get little to no points for taking flags in these situations and it discourages other players from joining to make a fair, even game. Also, whatever happened to etiquette? It seems too many youthful players feel "entitled" or "by right" to play however they want. I believe there are unwritten game standards that should be known and adhered to by players. And why not? Have a little courtesy. Develop a sense of fair play. Just my opinion

ANNOUNCING WINNERS OF "WHAT MAPS?" CONTEST: A.R-Tankibo0om, THEKINGOFDARK, speedy56 - LOOK FOR YOUR REWARD WITHIN THE WEEK

conanthedestroyer: Can you tell me a little about yourself? Royjonesjr: I'm 20 years old, lithuanian, but at this time living in New York, USA. My name is Eimis. How do you come to live in New York, being from Lithuania? These years is hard for teenager to live in Lithuania, so I always wanted to go somewhere else, and start new life Do you have family that lives in New York too? My father and my brother That is good to have family here. Are you a student or do you work? I'm working at this moment How did you first learn about TankiOnline? From my father, he first started to play this game What is your father's tank name? I don't want to publish it but he is well-known player and most of readers will know his nickname ok. My son also plays tanki, but we have yet to play in a battle with each other, I would imagine it is great fun to play with your dad? Yes it is, you should try it. It's really funny when you playing in same room next to each other. He included me in this game so from the beginning I gained a lot of lessons and experience from him How did you come by your nickname? It's a nickname of already retired boxer Roy Jones JR, I always watched his fight and he was best boxer for me. And when I had to create nickname for my tank, I haven't minded about it because I thought I'm not going to be caught by tanki and I won't play this game for long I too am a fan of the boxer, he was a great fighter. Tell me a little about your battle tactics. How would you describe your style of play? It's pretty clear, everyone who know me as a player know my playing style. It's simple, just pushing forward all the time including some experience in this. I always want to win, and if you want to win, you need to capture flags, so I'm always pushing forward to capture more flags than opposite team doing. Very rare you will see me staying at base and defending my team flag I know from experience in playing with you, that you are very aggressive and competitive!! Thank you, this is a big compliment for me. Playing style same like in my life. Always move forward, push it if needed, never look to the past. Pass everything to move forward. That is a great attitude to have in life. You can do nothing to change the past and everything to influence the future. You have recently, I think, been playing in more No Supplies battles. How do you like them compared to using "drugs"? Yes you right. At this moment I'm enjoying no supplies battles more than the ones with supplies. The reason is because in supplies battles there's a lot of cheaters, well known power of mults, a lot of amateur players. No supplies battles are much more competitive, and of course, is much better way to gain playing skills and experience I would agree completely. What do you think can be done about the cheaters in game? I don't want to complain about it or anything else, but administrators should know better how to solve this all, because players losing their desire to play this game Who would you consider the most challenging players to play against? Ones you have respect for and know will give you a good battle? No one at this time. The players and enemies which had mine respect before, they all lost it and they know why. Now I just respect my clan and my friends. I'm always ready to go anywhere and do anything I can to help them There is great value to loyalty and having loyal friends Yes, I'm happy to have friends like I do. A lot of times I wanted to quit this game but I'm still here because I can't leave them. If we will leave tanki, we will leave all at same time Well, I want to thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me, it is greatly appreciated I thought this will be longer. It was pleasure for me. Nice to know that I'm interesting for someone in this game. Thank you for doing this interview with me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________
