Generalissimo Eliteists

[RampagingVenom 554]

If I enter a battle with Generalissimos then I really want to be sure I can contribute in some way

many times I do but it`s a bit pointless if you attempt to battle GL & then keep getting battered in the process so I can see how frustrating it can be for high ranking players as I sometimes get a lot of low ranks that don`t help but hinder me. 

 

So I think of the best way I can help which is using Isida to heal the more exp players so they can do their job & thus I am contributing in that way rather than attempting to take out an m3 mammoth twins drugging GL which is only going to get me kaboomed :D.

Gentlemen!! (or ladies..I dont know) both your comments are what this thread is about. Is it necessary to say some one is jealous because they don't like the way they where treated? Is it necessary to call him a loser for making such comment? I say no. The reason LaserShark made this thread is because of disrespectful comments. 

 

I believe most are missing the point. This is not wether a low rank player should or should not play in a particular match. It is about the way we treat each other in the game AND in the forum..A lot of disrespecting go's on around here an it is usually just some pointed word or sentence. At least try to THINK out how you want to get your point across and attempt to do so in a respectful manner.

 

Thr topic says gens so how does it include lower ranks being respected. I see where u r going but thread's title does not match ur point.

I think people are missing the point here... Granted he may or may not have not been much help to the team, but that doesn't mean anyone should be insulting or rude about it. There is no excuse to treat someone poorly, especially over a game... I'm sure had they nicely asked him to leave, so a better player could join, he would've been more inclined too. I for one, get upset over similar things, like when a WO joins my team, and has no clue whats going on. But I do my best not to be rude, I simply ask them, if they will leave, I have someone more suitable waiting to join, and 70% percent of the time, they gladly do. I understand how frustrating it can be playing with inexperienced players, but come on. We were all  'that noob' at one point, just trying to play and have fun. So you lost one battle, big whoop, you're already they highest rank [or close to it] So you dont really need the points, and you should already have at least one m3 combo, so i don't see crystals as being that much of a priority, it should be about fun. And if you can't have fun because there is one low ranked person on your team on your team, that problems lies within YOU, not the other player...

u low ranks dont understand,... because of that one low rank, u most likely lose, meaning losing hundreds of drugs and/or reputation

[LiquidGold 1,370]

i concur especially on small maps with small teams.....it could almost be considered being a multi as your just about as effective

I Do understand your points, no one likes to feel that they have a disadvantage/unfair game, and no one likes to lose, especially if you're playing against members of a rival clan, or just players you may have on going competition with, I DO get what you mean, Ive had similar issues, but you need to realize this is only a game.  Your reputation of who you are as a person, should be more important then just being known as a 'beast' player who never loses. You can't win every battle, every time.... && a lot of the players I've seen that are being treated badly over silly things like this are just children trying to make a name for themselves here. Who are being talked down too, by much older teenagers, or  even adults....I find that to be VERY sad.   If They are seriously hurting your team, and they wont willingly leave, Just kick the player, do not say mean and hurtful things to them is MY point. There is no need to be nasty, all you're doing in contributing to a never ending cycle.

I do agree some people take it seriously but everyone gets angry at some random low rank that just joins the game, doesnt know how to play or anything other than maybe kill the occasional tank through a kill steal or something. Obviously getting angry isn't the right way to treat these people but then you have to think about what's going on in the lower ranked guys head? If they had enough common sense, they wouldn't join a higher ranked game to avoid disputes, getting 'hated on' and so on... They can of course play any game but getting accused by higher ranked players is inevitable so I would rather avoid these games instead of playing in a game with drugging generalissimos and getting called a mult etc. 

[SonofDeath 512]

I agree with all the Generalissimos.

Whenever a noob joins my team and does not help (which is %99 percent of all cases)

I tell them to leave. Nicely. (%60 percent of the time they leave)

Then when they don"t leave, I get mad

I call them noobs and etc

So lasershark I bet that the Generalissimos asked u to leave nicely, but you ignored them

Than they got mad and all of this happened^

[dungu 25]

What you just said is the complete opposite of what is true, the point of a game is to not be serious, if you are too serious about a game that it sucks up your life, you have none. Games are meant for entertainment. 'It is just a game'

To a certain extend, I must say I do agree with you. But you should always bear in mind that nowadays, games (in general),  games do make a person famous  and  a means of income generating activity. Like Bruce Lunga working for Tanki, and playing at the same time under the nickname of Almighty for e.g. The same goes for all other games like soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, etc. etc. The difference between Tanki and Golf for e.g., is that Tanki is one of the new generation games, where it is being played in the computer. It is how one treat his favourite game, either seriously or not, Obviously, if seriously, he would then go further than the not so seriously person.

As  for me, whenever I do or play something, I'll do it seriously, but I always bearing in mind that winning or losing is a  part of life. Thats what make this life so beautiful. Sorry for my bad english, but to all, have a nice day!

 

p.s. 'cookiemonster' - are you really THAT big? :D

[Playep 355]

They aren't Racists It's only that you're not useful anyway and they need somebody useful and able to fight against  Generalissimos.

kick does not operate on small maps

I  use my Isida to help the generals rather than attack the full drugging GL makes sense to me I think & if I can kill a few along the way it`s a bonus :)

[stef3333 7]

 Eventually I was voted out of the battle, I suspect not for any other reason but not being Generalissimo or near that rank, even though the battle allowed my rank, and everyone joined that battle knowing my rank was allowed in!

 

Being Generalissimo gives you no right to treat lower ranked players like dirt, and especially gives you no right to say "pick up crumbs". Rule 1.15 disallows "discriminating against inexperienced players (noobs): misinformation, harassment, mocking;", I recieved much of that in that one game alone.

 

So my point is, if your a high rank, enjoy it, but please don't be elitist or obnoxious about it, thank you!

You do have a point

[LiquidGold 1,370]

a team is only as strong as its weakest link if you are in a full on drug war with m3 m3 combos drugging and you only have m1-2's even if your drugging especially on small maps, you are the weakest link .... good bye  

[Fwuffy_Giwaffe 6]

The only time I knew I would not get kicked (I was right) was after I got my M2 Mammoth, that too, only in sandbox, and ofcourse I drug when I have to, otherwise dont join, low ranks are a pain, now that I'm a colonel, I can go to generalissimo drugwars and drug, with mamoth.

To a point I agree but what if for instance me that uses an m2 isida &  helps heal players like you?

I may not actually be able to go gung ho into full battle but if help can be give how ever small then surly that`s a positive.

i have m3 isida of my own thanks .....

Just as in real life, with rank comes responsibility to ones self, as well as to those members of lower rank. It is unfortunate that some learn this and some do not. However, I think you will find (with the passing of time) that most upper-ranking members, including Generalissimo’s, have not let rank go to their heads...After all we learn good team skills by experience...”Good Luck on the Battlefield!”

[dogm45 10,653]

If your entering into a battle knowing that the field is full of Generalissimo's your entering into an anything goes battle. It really isn't about your rank. It's about your ability to pull your own weight out on the battlefield. Please be considerate and leave the game if you can't cut it. There are plenty of maps. When you reach this rank your not running at the same level of engagement as before nor are you running the same equipment. I'm just being honest. So let me state it again "I don't care about your rank." I care that your pulling your own weight and you have my back. So don't feel bad about being thumbed out as long as it's according to the rule of thumbing!!!!!!!!!!! 

[skitee 555]

When I was a low rank, if I was ever asked to leave, I would. I consider it one of the rudest things in tanki to not leave when your team asks you to do so (this applies, in my opinion, to all reasonable circumstances, not just being a low rank), especially if you are one of the lowest ranks in the game. In my opinion, not leaving is a serious breach of Tanki etiquette and behaviour which is quite out of order when a team wants to win and you are hampering their ability to do so. The fact that you were eventually thumbed out shows that you were not in the top half of your team's scores, which meant that you were not in a position to get a vast amount of battle fund if your team won and so there's no reason for you not to leave.

[DiSoRderLY 141]

Interesting discussion! If I'm really honest and objective on this matter I can only conclude this problem can be applied both ways.

 

Imagine a battle ranging from the luitenants ranks to generalissimo. If that particular battle is full of luitenants and majors, would it be fair for a generalissimo to join?

 

I can't seem to figure out why this fact isn't brought up...

[KunGawuliak 191]

When I ask low-rank player for leave, he often say NO, and say: "No, you were low rank too, I can be here and become generalissimo..." but generalissimo knows where is he needed and where is useless, and... I think with m1 gun against generalissimo can earn less points in our hours than against players with same rank, why 3rd Lt. plays with generalissimo, if he can play with WO3-Major  :rolleyes:  and then you see in chat: stupid mammoth m3, cheater, cheater cheateeeer! (happened to me often -.-), he can't beat you, but he doesn't understand it... and then topics about too strong generalissimo are coming (this one too, because somebody can't kill generalissimo with m1 gun  :rolleyes:  )

I have never been in a battle on my commander account and been asked to leave.. if it was a battle of certain ranks and they wanted a private battle thats no problem for me i would leave.. how often has any high ranker been asked to leave
