The only reason for a June sale/discount would be for Tanki's third birthday, or a developer just won the lottery.

*Adding to main topic--many thanks!*

Requirements: Send me a PM with only the names of what maps these pictures are found on and the lists of differences of this photoshop images from realty. Win crystals for it. No conversational comments--I will not respond to them. Finished! Winners are: AnuBoi, joostcool, BigWar, oreo.slayer, Mister_G

Smells like a revolutionary.

Chris, how do you know that? We are having some real-life issues at the moment, so the paper's publishing date has to be delayed.

My Tanki knowledge tells me that I would better spend my time playing the game rather than answering all those questions.

Question 1: The first picture is actually of myself in the Sandbox map. Les and myself went there one day and took a pic. He added some of his magic to it, and you see how it turned out! For the second picture, I told Les what I wanted, and he made it. :-) Question 2: I have heard nothing about new reporters. For now, though, I would like to keep this story's creation to myself. Thank you for your offer, regardless!

I added that, as well. Thanks! :thumbup:

Ultra, have you noticed how there have been many updates recently? First, there was Update 1.5, then 1.6, then 1.75, and now 1.82. According to news released form the admins and testers, Tanki 1.0 will slowly be integrated into Tanki 2.0. A week ago, shadows were added to tanks. That is a step toward 2.0 graphics. For some reason, however, the shadows have been removed. =/

Here is a collection of the various paints in the game that aren't available to everyone. If you see someone with any of these paints, give them your upmost respect; they're special! :mrgreen: Enjoy, and feel free to add your own pictures! Golden paint--name: Champion Protection - 20% against all weapons ~ Acquired by being an active member of a clan that has won the inter-clan championship. Green and black paint--name: Acid Protection - 15% against all weapons. (May be 20%) ~ Acquired by winning the TOF tournament. Newspaper paint--name: Reporter Protection - According to its description "100% protection against swear and flood." Other than that, it has no protection. ~ Given only to reporters of the newspaper, either English or Russian. There is a circuit board-like paint given to consultants of the Tankionline project. It is called 'Silicon Chip.' There is another paint, dubbed 'Alligator,' which is given to moderators. Comments and questions are welcome.

I can vouch for DTeCH in this. I have seen him in battle with the weapons he claims to be missing.

Smells like a dude from Maine. :hunf:

Smells like orange juice.

It is too often that one finds players of all types swearing, flooding, multing, scamming, cheating, and taking advantages of unfair circumstances in games. The material provided in this article is intended to help reduce the frequency of these problems in the game. I will go through each of the above mentioned offenses, providing a definition, reasons why one should not do it, and how to fix these problems if you encounter them in a game. Definition: n ; Abusive, vulgar, or irreverent language, generally intended to degrade another being. Why not? Swearing, being the most common offense in the game, is apt to get any player an hour-long ban or longer. Once banned, a player cannot post any messages to the main chat lobby or any battle chats for the duration of the ban. The ban is automatically recorded into one’s permanent record. Having a bad ban history will make it very difficult to work for Tanki. (Reporters, moderators, consultants, and testers must have amazingly good records.) Solution: If you happen to come across a player who shows no respect in the chat, just take a screenshot [how to do that?] and send it to a moderator who speaks your language through a PM. List of English moderators Hopefully, he or she will respond to your message within a few days, and ban the offender. Once you send the screenshot, I would recommend to politely inform the ‘swearer’ that he has been reported, and go to a different battle to avoid his whining. Definition: v ; The act of sending a pointless, repetitive message to the chat box any number of times. Why not? Though it may be tempting to put a nice, long “Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!,” into the chat a couple of times, just for the fun of it, be warned that this can result in a ban ranging anywhere from five minutes to a week. Again, this will be put onto the offender’s record immediately and irreversibly. Flooding will also give you a bad reputation around the community, if you do it often enough. Solution: Again, one should take a screen shot and send it to a moderator through the PM system on the forums. Since the moderators will not be able to respond to your problem immediately, I would recommend blocking the flooder for the time being. To block a user, one must enter the code “ /block xxxxxx “ into the main chat lobby, with the x’s being the flooder’s name. Once blocked, you will no longer receive messages from the person. To view how many people are on your blocklist, simply type in the code “ /blocklist “ into the chat. Lastly, to unblock a user, use “ /unblock xxxxx “. Definition: v ; The putting of one or more accounts onto an enemy team to hinder their success in battle. Why not? Multing is a terrible thing to do, regardless of the circumstances. Having a reputation as a mult-user will often keep you out of clans and away from most sane people. Multing, if even for a clanmate, can result in either a week, month, or permanent ban / blocking of your account. Solution: If you are in a battle where there are one or more completely inactive tanks on your team, then you have a serious mult infestation. (Also, mults may move around your side of the map, but not doing anything to help the team.) This problem cannot be properly punished unless you create a video of the mult tanks and upload it to a video hosting sight, such as YouTube. [How?] Once that is done, embed the video into the forum in a topic in the Complaints section. Your problem should be resolved the next time a moderator checks the Complaints section. I would recommend leaving the battle where the mults are, seeing as your problem will not be solved soon enough. Definition: n ; The attempt of a person or persons to gain access to another person’s account through the pretext of profit (crystals, points, weapons, and hulls) or by hacking. Why not? The rules of the internet abide here, as they do everywhere. Henceforth, scamming is wrong. If you are caught asking for accounts or offering “free crystal,” services, the ban can range anywhere from a few days to a full month. If it is determined that you have used many people’s accounts, all the accounts, including your own, will be blocked, regardless of the real world money spent on it. Solution: If you see someone asking for passwords, or offering “free crystals,” and a link to another website, take a screenshot immediately and send it to a moderator. Even if you are only curious about the site whose link has been posted, I would recommend to NOT click on it; there may be a virus that can do a lot more damage than just steal your Tanki account. Definition: v ; The exploitation of a programming loophole to gain an unfair advantage within a game, usually by the means of specially designed software. Why not? How would you like it if you were working hard on the battlefield for ten hours, when suddenly, a hacker comes and completely ruins your game, taking your crystals within minutes? Assuming that most people would not be pleased with this occurrence, I highly recommend not doing it. Your account will be permanently blocked if you are found guilty of cheating. Solution: Since it is difficult to capture a cheater in only a few screenshots, it is recommended to take a YouTube video of the cheater and his actions and post it as a topic in the Complaints forum. Once there, I moderator will watch the video, checking your charge’s accuracy, and block the player for a month. Once tech support receives a messages about the cheater, the account will be blocked. These are not as much as offenses in the game, as it is just some common courtesy that all tankers should keep in mind while on the battlefield. Following these guidelines will give you respect in the community. Definitions: A situation in which one team or player has no hopes of winning due to an unfair advantage obtained by the opposing team or players. [This mainly applies to CTF matches.] There are many variances over which an “Unfair Battle,” can be justly titled. 1. One team has five or more members than the enemy team. 2. One team is using all in-game supplies (also known as ‘drugs’) all the time, while the opposing team has none to use. 3. Shortly after a long, hard battle finishes, members of one team go and capture eight of the ten flags needed to win, leaving very little time for an actual battle to take place, thus ruining the game for most of its players. 4. You post a link in the chat lobby for a friend to click on, so he can play with you in a battle. Once you join the battle, you realize that somebody else clicked the link first and took your friend’s place in the battle. Solutions: 1. The more populated team should wait for more players to join the opposing team, as to ensure a fair, good battle. If you are trying to convey this to a team full of Russians, just say “ Подождите несколько игроков. ” (Wait for more players.) 2. Though there is nothing illegal in drugging all the time, it can be very annoying for the losing side of the battle. Your best hope in this scenario is to kindly say that you have no supplies to use, and that you want them to stop, as well. In Russian: “ У меня нет наркотиков. Пожалуйста, никаких наркотиков! .” 3. Again, there is nothing ban-worthy in doing this, but it can certainly ruin the fun battle you are looking for. If the flag capturers are Russian, copy and pasta “ Не захват флага! Подождите, для борьбы с чего начать! ” (Do not capture flags! Wait for the fight to start!) 4. Once in the battle, kindly address the spot-taker in the battle chat with “XXXXX (Name) , пожалуйста, оставьте так что мой друг может присоединиться. .” (Please leave so my friend can join.) *Discuss any of the points I made here!*

1,000,000 crystals? Really? :hunf:

You lie.

Apparently, he is still allowed to go on the computer. :roll:

^ Looking forward to reading it. :-)

Thanks. The next issue for the whole paper should be coming out around the 26th of this month.

So far, I have had nothing to eat today.
