Purchasing crystals in exchange for actual monies is one of the driving forces of the game- thank you for supporting the project in that manner. However, the quotation I made above is what concerned me.

Look at the bracketed letters in this topic's title. :)

The first player to have started doing "parkour," to reach otherwise unreachable places was Avocado, in the Russian community. He was known for making some ridiculous-looking messes of flipped tanks, with one or two successful tanks on top of a building or wall, in the same screenshot. The examples you listed were on cards that were created a considerable time after parkour got its first boost of popularity in the game. Deck 9 and Gravity were 2nd and 3rd generation maps, like Novel, Industrial Zone, Desert, etc. Parkour started a good couple of months before I came here, when there were less than 100,000 accounts registered and the mine was just introduced to the battlefield.

Other [Issue 36] Poem: Happy to be Sad
Tommy60 replied to Tommy60 in [Issue 36] Poem: Happy to be Sad Newspaper Archive
Don't do it. Just... I blew it. Every time I go by, I try to not cry And every time til today, I've had it my way. But today is different, you have to see. Well, maybe it really is just me. An anniversary isn't that special, Especially when the day is so uneventful. Seeing a place of glories long passed, Just reminds me of where my tears are stashed. Don't try to sympathize- You'd be the first to brush me off, with a roll of your eyes. though, you might even go as far as to venture forth, And ask why my lips' edge is pointing anywhere but North. But then, to explain, My words would pour forth; a rain. At the onset of which, you, I do not care who, Would have a hard time listening, As you subject yourself to my incessant 'rambling.' Admit it, you would! You would get out of there as soon as you could. You wouldn't want to hear of all that I've done, Or of the times I liked to call 'fun.' Who cares of the records I've made, Because your mind has just strayed. As I would notice this, this change in your facial demeanor, I think I would understand why your ears are acting less than eager. I wouldn't get mad, Yet instead, a bit glad. I spared you, a person, from getting too bored And I'd have let you return to your life, by your own accord. I know my story is of no interest to any but me, And now, knowing that makes me happy. You see, we shouldn't be sad because our apexes have passed, We should be glad for the memories we've amassed.- 12 replies

These Meyers-Briggs test have very little accuracy, and that has been proven through decades of research. It has been proven that this kind of test lacks a quality called 'reliability.' In other words, one person could take two different versions of the same kind of test, and have their results vary greatly. It's still fun, however)

Is it a problem I've never heard of this blog? :huh: -
^Up until it infringes on the rights of others. Everything has a legal limit, even in the United States of America. Too much of any particular thing can be construed as suspicious or ill-gotten, even our apparently much-cherished money, food (quantity limits at stores), etc. All government is, is a moderating force, internally and externally. If the US seems to be dominating the international scene at the moment, then it is filling the role it must because other countries are not strong or explicit enough to exert their influence, or one's view is wildly distorted.

Other [Issue 32] A Poem for You
Tommy60 replied to Tommy60 in [Issue 32] A Poem for You Newspaper Archive
You look at me, and I, at you. You are the one, clear through and through. But what do I mean, and how do I know? Well, you’re giving me a little show. I can see you, you see And yes, you are now listening to me. As your eyes stutter downward to read me, I am left to search you, freely. The way you sit and the countenance of your face, Give me very good clues of you who occupy this space. Your grooming and clothes make it quite clear, What type of fate you are trying to steer. But, no offense, there’s more to you than you, Take a look around, and you’ll see my view. Whether your house is fine or discordant, I can tell what you and your living mates find important. And this whole time, I've been coaxing you down, And oh! What have you found? The answer is nothing, And isn’t that something? It isn’t, so let your happiness drop, And yes, I see your eyes do not want to stop. You keep on going, trying to reach my end, That is a very nice thought, my friend. You think it ends here, when you click me away; Who knew you people were so easy to sway! I will be here, and tomorrow, too, You know I can wait for you. I will not tire, nor become bored, For I am far mightier than the sword. You read me, and that is true, But think about it, and know I read you. -
Ohio, USA. Around -12 Cº here. The snow just barely covers most of the grass, and the sky is blue, clear, and sunny))

[Issue 30] [Interview] The top gold box hunters of the EN community
Tommy60 replied to Remaine in Newspaper Archive
Nice work!) I liked it better when the gold fell at increments of 700, though... -
This isn't the project's 'Ideas & Suggestions' forum. :)

They've been here since virtually the start of the game, XTNO.1. Obviously, they were added to provide players with an ever-present need to purchase crystals with real money, as drugging for a whole game causes a negative deficit in one's overall crystal amount in the end, even with exceptional luck with gold boxes. Also, they provide a nice dynamic to the game, when they can only be picked up on a battlefield. As for the quality of the supplies, it was just a good percentage to noticeably change the performance of one's tank.

I believe the V-LOG said the only limit on the machine gun would be its tendency to overheat after it shoots for enough time, continually. It would start to burn, like a Firebird's effect. Honestly, I'll be fine until they add little people to the game graphics.

It happened, very long ago. It should be in a contest or newspaper archive.

Yes, he did that as well...

Other [Issue 30] Poem: What Happened?
Tommy60 replied to Tommy60 in [Issue 30] Poem: What Happened? Newspaper Archive
Total, all-encompassing power, Here for a minute, and gone for an hour. This is the course a daydream takes you, But come the end, you realize it was once true. You fondly recall the things you could do, And realize now, your options are quite few. That friend is gone, and that one was banned, And now you're still here, but with none to command. As your life's path up to here comes to focus, You find all you did was in subservience to one purpose. That reason, having fun, is common among most, But it's also the reason your present desires lack a host. It was a shallow thing to want, let us be honest, But you were never one whose hopes were modest. Now, after your enjoyment is through You find yourself with nothing to do. "What happened?" you wonder, sitting down from the jolt, And it comes to you at last; This was your life, and it had to unfold. -

Other [Issue 30] Christmas Poem #1
Tommy60 replied to Tommy60 in [Issue 30] Christmas Poem #1 Newspaper Archive
Snow white bushes cover many a thing Even a few that can really sting. I spawn and drive, keeping that in mind, Trying to keep myself away from such a find. I pick up a nitro and speed around a bend And find myself inclined to defend. A Shaft in a high-off corner seems a bit mad, But I jump as he takes out my adjacent comrade! I dive for cover, Exposing yet another brother. He too receives quite a blast, And soon I find myself to be the last. I stop and peer around a building corner, As I hope this won’t spell my trip to the coroner. To my surprise I pleasantly find, My silent assassin is out of sight, though not out of mind. I quickly scour the landscape around me, And find something that truly surprises me. The “MamontShaft,” is hilariously charging (though I’d hardly call his presence barging). As I search for a reason I soon discover, A glittering box falling behind another structure cover. Laughing I grab a nitro again, And go around the same bend. I come up behind the speeding colossus, And begin to taunt him like a newbie at the office. I speed up and slow down, I can practically feel his sluggish frown. The treasure now in sight, Myself, I do not have to fight. I whip ahead, grab it, and exit with glee, Thinking to myself “Merry Christmas to me!”- 12 replies

As a user, you do not have those privileges. Only game offenders should be banned, and only moderators have the power to do so, so you must report the user to a moderator with sufficient evidence, in the correct part of the forums. -
