New Year Rank Up: Results

[blackdistance 0]

dear Semyon, easy to say make a video of a rank up... what if you don't have record materials? because you have to pay for them, and i can't pay....

[deadmanrising 715]

I can't believe this. So.. winning is too easy on Tanki? How to judge the jury hhhhh. Semyon, please

They removed it, but its too late anyway, my assumption is that the jury's view of who deserves to win is severly flawed, i probably won't enter any similar contests to this one again

i need :D

These are but a few, there's so much more out there, so many of them free.  Just web search "screen recording software"

Never said it should be professional with photoshop!! Let's be honest, it's not a work to do in 5 minutes! But, taking one print screen from a battle and add a text, that, I guess, it's a work of 5 minutes! I thought what it matters was the idea and the whole thing, the image itself, not working for days, hours or minutes... But well, some of us aren't so good in drawings or having a best PC, so... The fact is the result doesn't seem fair for many of us. Pitty. maybe the rules should be specified, like: no photoshop! Because, well, photoshop means some things added on some pictures... I should put a picture of my cat, so sorry i didn't think of that :))))

Let me see. A new year picture from google, tanks and boxes from tank viewer. Random text font and some PNG transparent pics again from google. This picture can be done in 5-10 minutes. Way too easy in my opinion.

One more, if Sewegart or other friends of moderators designed the same postcard as i did, he would won 100%.

Going to be a commander tomorrow ^_^

Cool but Semyon Can we use Spec mod ?  Thx

[RampagingVenom 554]

Very good contest :)

[r_Mia1 8,513]

In the psychology, we have a formula that says: Work hard=Earn much=Work hard later=Earn more later

 

That's what make us disappointed,this is not about reward which players didn't take it, that's about psychology harms of this kind of actions. :) Hope dear developers get what i wanted to say.

If you fail, try again. Lesson of life.

 

look,i believe you,bot not them,they always lying,even in this last contest as you see as images are clear and topics still exist.

some players with 50k rewarded and others 5k.

some players get rewarded very very nice!

like this one:

the questions is "did they realy check our entries ?"

everything is clear to us now  :mellow:

Why someone won 50k and others 5k? Unlimited number of winners, what does it mean? Let me give you answers my dear.

 

Unlimited number of winners means that if there are only 5 great entries, only 5 will win the special prize. If there are 50 great entries, all of them will get the prize. If someone tried to make something but it wasn't SO good enough, they will get consolation prize. People who made something just by adding tons of pictures on some background won't win anything because it's not considered as a hard work and it's totally not creative.

First picture was judged by mistake. I myself went to admin to tell him that it's copied and he removed it asap with apology. They are humans too, not robots, IT HAPPENS. And trust me, they did check all entries as they are doing it every day (not to miss any of them). How do I know this? Well, I am in contact with them all the time, and every time I ask them something, they be super busy as they are checking entries. It's their work, it's something they must do.

 

what if u just ranked up?

Record a rank up of your friend or someone's friend and try to win. It doesn't have to be your own rank up.

 

hmm being grateful for what?

 

making our hard way go in trash every time?

 

or they are entertaining us?

 

or they are ruining our christmas as they announced the contest we were making postcards trying different ways to make it better. i myself never used photo shop and all and i never draw a sketch but i did this time. instead of going out with my family i had this fake hope "there can be any winners" that i might win. and i didnt so all the get to gathers  those parties reunions  christmas celebration i couldnt attend. it was a waste of time(Mia look from players point of view. you are a mod you already get plenty of crystals).

 

and i am not saying about just this contest. infact you should compare last year celebration from this one. you will understand the difference.

 

and if they cannot make everyone happy they better go on vacation and let us also enjoy our vacation instead of making different contest and wasting our time by giving false hopes.

Please read what I said to comment above about "unlimited number of crystals".

And trust me, even tho I am a mod and I earn a bunch of crystals BY HARD WORK (to earn more, you gotta work more), I don't have even 1k now. Why? - On Monday is my salary. Every week I get paid for work I do. And the time I get paid is the time when my own contest finish. When contest finish, I must pay winners from my own pocket. So yes, I never have crystals with myself. I earn and give them away. I work for this community. But again, I can't give prizes to everyone with good entry, I gotta choose the best ones only. Yet, every week there is a different contest I am making, so every week everyone have chance to win.

 

Contest is same time called a competition. And you know that if you are not good in these creativity things, you should not waste time in it. If I see some contest where I have to (giving example) show my singing skills, I won't participate because I know there are much more better singers than me. But even trying to participate should be fun. It's all just one more experience. 

 

Do we have to be in a clan or we can just make a group of 5 for the contest? 

5 people is the max number of participants. Only 5 people (from one entry) can win the prize.

 

What about general nissmos? They just have to find someone to rank up with?

They can record someone else's rank up.

 

Mia, many players aren't professionals with graphic software. This is easy in your opinion because you are an professional with Photoshop, i'm not!

I'm not professional on photoshop. I know some basic things which I learned on youtube lessons. You can do the same too. Problem is, people nowadays are lazy to try something new. And by the way, no one asked you to do it with graphic software. As I said before, hand work is much more appreciated than photoshop skills.

 

dear Semyon, easy to say make a video of a rank up... what if you don't have record materials? because you have to pay for them, and i can't pay....

Kindly contact me in PM and soon you will have the best recording software, for free.

But, you said... "That was not a contest "Who spent the most time on creating a postcard". No matter how much hours or days you spent on it, if it's not good, you won't win. There are always people who are great in photoshop, blender, drawing etc and you must deal with it. Try better next time."

 

Anyway... we'll deal with it. No more contests for some of us. Better play than waste our time... Honestly, I thought my reaction seeing the winning cards (all of them) would be "wow"! Ok, better, I agree. But... better! Well... It seems that our reaction was, in some cases, not "wow!", but "what?!"

[pamir_the_crazy 3]

[Pyrex 2]

how can i use/get spectator mode?

[r_CeazyWrath0 20]

i agree with you Mia . and i know you guys have to do a lot of work. and i never knew that you are organizing and paying others from your salary. which i really appreciate. but in my case i really need crystals(i cant afford to buy. as i am not rich) i participated almost in every contest and i believe i did fair enough to get a little reward(may be in parkour). but i kept getting disappointed. even facebook events are not in my time zone.and i really dont know what to do. i wish i could tell you my real identity but i dont want to because most of the players cannot understand me. and they will start criticizing.

 

 

and earlier there used to be kits but they had taken them away. i dont even see any single kit in my garage except for supplies kit. non buyers are getting bankrupt. please try to get my message to devs, because community manager is busy making money. he will become millionaire soon :D

Here is my entry for the postcards. 3 hours and not the best PC in the world, but I never thought it was so bad... :(

People who used photoshop could win also, and many of them won actually. But instead of just adding random transparent pictures, they put some shadows, light effects, color effect, tanks that actually fit the background. They made it look realistic. And everyone will choose to work with things they are better with. If I'm bad at photoshop, I will try to draw. If I'm bad at drawing and photoshop, I will try to make something out of plasticine and similar. You always need to think of few different ways and choose the best one to try and win.

 

One more, if Sewegart or other friends of moderators designed the same postcard as i did, he would won 100%.

Who said that? It's totally useless to blame some awesome creative and talented people. It's not their mistake that they are being good in many things.

 

Going to be a commander tomorrow ^_^

Great, make sure you invite many people and ask them all to record. Help others.

 

Wt!!!! I just ranked on 23rd december and the new update of rank up came on 24 december  :angry:

So? You can still record rank ups of other people.

 

Cool but Semyon Can we use Spec mod ?  Thx

If you have it yes, if you don't have it, then how will you use it? You can ask spectator to make a video for you and you can send it on your name.

 

But, you said... "That was not a contest "Who spent the most time on creating a postcard". No matter how much hours or days you spent on it, if it's not good, you won't win.

In 5 minutes work you can't make anything awesome. But same time if you are making something for 5 hours, it doesn't mean it will look great. Anyway, if you think you are not good enough for these contests, then just go to battle and play. You can earn 5k in 3-4 battles. And about 50k, maybe soon there gonna be some kind of contest in which you can participate and win. Try seeing Rent-A-Spec topic, on main page you got explanation of contest. Super easy contests. Anyone can win there, but number of winners is limited to 3.

 

what does it mean what type of video ?

Well, you go to someone's rank up, record it, edit it, and send it. Make sure it is some cool rank up and add some nice effects to video.

noooooo , ranked up this week , now i cannot :(

[falcosenna1 8,320]

You don't have to be in a clan. You can make a random group of 5 players. 

 

Cool but Semyon Can we use Spec mod ?  Thx

Spectator Mode is allowed. 

how can i use/get spectator mode?

Tanki Online Spectator Application

Apply for it. Make sure you meet the requirements (for example having 100 subscribers). If you don't have 100 subscribers, you will surely not be given the spectator mode!

[Pride.ln.Blood 1,065]

Interesting  :wub: 

[ThouShallNot 963]

So your saying my entry doesn't even deserve 5k crystals? it took me 7 hours of hard work...

[NaVi.markeloff 365]

can i win if i rank and a spectator records me? Or should i record myself?
