CLOSED — Cedric's "Virtual Office"

[Canada_wins 145]

We have quite a lot of people in the 10-15 yr bracket, but all the other brackets are significant too, and need to be catered for properly.

I think  you were saying that this age bracket is the largest of Tanki users.

If so, I won't complain as much during games when cheating happens because I remember what I was like back then (didn't cheat much back then due to how I was being raised but families are more solo projects now and far more lenient).

So instead of complaining in the games about the game cheating (ie/ hacking and/or multing) I'll simply ultradrug in response. :P

Thanks, Cedric.

 

 

 

So a new question:

 

What about the age demographics for EN forum posters? (now that you answered about game users)

[toanuparu_GT 7]

Do you like potatoes?
What updates would you like to see in the game?
Why did you want this job?
Did you play TO before applying?

[ShOwStOpPeR_online 324]

We have pro battles....They have the option to disable the Bonus Boxes... :)

 

 

Drop zones disabled. Not the bonus boxes. Only the zones , disabled for all ))) 

[theFiringHand 21,351]

^Why'd my post get hidden up there? Whatevs though. And no, you don't have to answer that question Mr. Debono xD

 

 

Anyways, I'd just like to give you a huge pat on the back for setting up this thing, it's much better than Semyon's newspaper interview when he became CM.  But yeah, question time.

 

1. Have you lived in any other countries besides Malta?

2. Do you like animals? :3 

3. If so, what kind? (Plz say cats, k)

4. Can I ask you a question?

5 What's your favorite (or favourite if you prefer) band?

6. Favorite song?

7. What's your favorite movie?

8. What do you think are the main differences between yourself and Semyon Kirov?

9. How do you think those differences will affect the community?

10 (Last one just to make it nice and even) Do you have any weird quirks? e.g. are you OCD, do you have any weird phobias, do you have synesthesia, etc.

 

 

Ok, and I'm sorry if someone asked these before. Kinda a hypocrite if someone did :P.

1. I've visited other countries, but never lived outside Malta for any length of time.
2. Yes, very much.
3. All sorts of animals, even the dangerous ones  :)
4. I thought that was what we were doing...
5. Answered this earlier
6. I don't think I have a favorite song
7. Answered this earlier
8. We definitely have very different leadership styles, but I won't go into details, as I wish to avoid comparisons.
9. I hope what I bring to the community will be at least as beneficial as what Semyon did.
10. Hmmm... I have a few minor OCDs, but I'm working on getting rid of them. A really weird thing that happens to me is that if I eat a very big dish, I start sneezing, even up to 25 times.  :D

 

How old do you have to be to be a mod?

Which browser is the best for tanki?

Do you know where I am from? :P

1. I don't think there's a set rule.
2. I personally use Firefox.
3. No idea

 

Who drops the gold if Admin does not?(i  am not joking)

It's automated and depends on a certain set of criteria.

 

will the lag ever be fixed?

Already answered this earlier.

 

Why did the colors for mobile get changed back to gray? I liked the blue....

I really have no idea.

 

What your favorite thing to do besides being busy for Tanki Online and Tanki X?

I don't have one favorite thing. I've got a lot going on in my life, and I really enjoy most of it  :)

[BuriedSky 1,319]

Drop zones disabled. Not the bonus boxes. Only the zones , disabled for all )))

This gets a bit off topic with my reply, but would just post once:

Go to settings - uncheck 'show drop zones' - if you mean that...

If you mean no drop zones at all, then I don't think that such a map will gain much popularity...however, we have island map with least possible drop zones..:)

[theFiringHand 21,351]

Can you tell how hy6 I am? ...... :ph34r:

huh??

 

How do I buy crystals using Rubles outside of Russia? 

No idea. I don't think you can.

 

Hey first things first. Wish you all the best as the new community manager!! And for my question, will gold boxes be less useful in higher ranks? As the price for the items increase but the reward for the gold box remain the same.

Thanks.

 

I don't see the logic of gold boxes becoming less useful in higher ranks. Free crystals are always free crystals.

 

Hey hi admin how are you? wish your fine.

 

Question: Can we know about new system developments and something about tanki X closed beta?

 

 

With due respect                       Sir. :)

For news on Tanki X, your best bet is to follow the Tanki X Dev’s Diary. You can watch episode #1 right here.

 

When you gus talk again with us?

Will we ever get discount on xt items?(just asking possible or not,not asking about the date.)  :lol:

I really can't disclose anything about that. Sorry.

 

Who is @Godmode_ON? Which dev made the Godmode_ON account? When will the devs tell us The Truth about him? truth plz

We're waiting for the right planets to align before exposing that great existential truth.

 

Hello,

Will there be any sales for May Days? Or any kind of Celebration? 

We'll find out soon enough  :)

 

When are 100 Tanki X codes going to be released?

For news on Tanki X, your best bet is to follow the Tanki X Dev’s Diary. You can watch episode #1 right here.

 

When will we see a Weight lifting video from you? :P (I weight Lift)

Read in the thread that you weight train! :D

I doubt I'll be posting weight lifting videos of myself  :)

 

 

Helo 

 

Why the players in tankionline pay a lot of money to upgrade weapons , tanks and supplies and you don't care about it , why the most tournaments about XP only?

I have a suggestion , why don't you make  tournaments about supplies ? there are a lot of clans like these types of tournaments.

Cedric

 

1) in the future or near future will the forum be closing due to the low numbers using it now...

 

2) is there any sales in the future that would be good ..besides tanki's birthday sale and what date is  tanki birthday sale this  year..

 

3) also if the forum is staying will it be changing to increase or change the sections to give us more or less chat room ideas.. also will the rules in the game be changing due to issues

 

4) will the rules for the contest's be changing it to only be players and not paid staff ..allowed to enter in the contests

1. I seriously dount it
2. Any sale is a good sale if you're getting it cheaper. Right?
3. We'll have to see about that
4. Well, as long as everyone plays fairly, I don't see why staff shouldn't be allowed to play. Then again, I understand this might be a cause for concern, so I'll give it the appropriate amount of consideration.

 

How you can have that little rank while being EN manager??? What the heck

Maybe because... *gasp*... my skill in the arena doesn't necessarily equate to my professional skills?

[theFiringHand 21,351]

Will there be a Pros advice on twins anytime soon?

Actually, I'd love to have it. I'll ask our V-LOG producer. In the meantime, the brick is your friend  :D

 

Will the Discount for Legend Kit ever go higher than 35%? It's so annoying, for Mid-Ranked XP/BP Players saving for Legend but having to save up 369k. It's really difficult, could the discount be higher, like to 40%?

I think you realize that getting 35% off is a lot better than paying full price. The thing is, if we take the discount to 40% off, seconds later someone will want it at 45% off. Then we'll take it to 45% off and someone else will want it at 50%, all the way to completely free.

 

plz can u bring back some of the old maps back?

Please post this in the Ideas and Suggestions Forum.

 

http://en.tankiwiki.com/Map_Editor

 

Is it possible to create maps here? Can you play on and test them? Can you do them with your friends? Is this allowed (I assume so, as it's on the tanki wiki). How difficult is this to do?

I'm afraid I really have no idea.

 

When the Tanki X comes out, will Tanki Online stay, and will we be able to use our old accounts?

Already answered this earlier.

 

Hi Cedric

 

Sorry if this has been asked before but would it be possible to trade-in equipment that isn't used. For example, I don't get on with Rail Gun and woud love to get back say 25% of the crystals I used to acquire it.

 

Many Thanks

Hi Cedric, nice to see you!

I love that you're organizing this event, and I have a few questions.

    

    Are you adding new admins and moderators? If so, how would one become one?

   

    I'm curious as to why some recruits get automatic premium, just created my account (member=Cryo_Freeze) and I'm not sure what happened. I'm happy though!

 

    Do you have an account? If so, can we play together? I noticed your rank.

 

I think you'll do great, good luck!!!

1. Already answered this earlier
2. That was a promotion we were running
3. I don't play very often as I don't have much time  :)

Thanks!

 

Will we have forums in TANKI X and v-log will u be also there

There already are forums for TX where the beta testers can interact and leave suggestions and bug reports. About having a TX V-LOG, I really don't know. But they're doing a Developer's Diary series. You can watch episode #1 right here.

I got a Bachelor's Degree in Communications

 

I play the bass guitar, and a little bit of piano.

 

Maybe because... *gasp*... my skill in the arena doesn't necessarily equate to my professional skills?

nice ;) (i didnt understand what it is tho lol )

i love this sarcasm :D

Already answered.

 

Does anyone even hear our ideas and suggestions???

Yes, we actually do. However, not every idea or suggestion can be implemented, and even those that can, will sometimes take a ton of work and effort to finally put them in the game.

 

This question hasn't been responded to (other than the funny jokester about being age 0 :P ), so I'm politely bumping it past a lot of the repeated questions Cedric already answered.

Cedric, if you and/or Tanki don't yet have that information organized that way and/or they haven't yet informed you of it, then feel free to say that you do not yet know the answer. Thanks!

Actually, I just answered that. I think you appreciate the fact that it's taking me a while to go through every single answer.

 

Pls answer in my ask

2- u have  Account Ginirallesimo

Are there any sales on May Day

When is your birthday

How did you hear about this job and how did you get connected? Did you just call up and say, "hey, I would love to be the community manager?" :)

Actually, they contacted me.

[Canada_wins 145]

Cedric, for those who are wondering:

 

I have tried to buy crystals in Russian rubles in 2016, but even though my card is able to do the currency conversion it's on Tanki's end for why it's not allowed.

I do not know why Tanki does not allow those living in countries who do not have rubles as their country's currency to be able to convert to rubles, but I think Semyon once answered this (I didn't have the money back then to do the conversion anyway) as Tanki's way of being economically fair to Russian players since Tanki originated in Russia and their country's financial currency is suffering...at least according to my memory.

[r_Mia1 8,513]

 

 

Ehm... so I really don't get why you brought up the issue in the first place. Did I miss anything?

 

And no, none of your questions were too personal. Where did I say that?

 

And I did my best to answer honestly and truthfully. If that doesn't appease you, I'm afraid there's nothing more I can offer you.

 

, this is an attitude I resent. Throwing a blanket statement like that is unacceptable. I know there are mods and admins who work diligently and do a good job, and I know this for a fact because I work with them closely and have seen their work ethic and dedication.

 

Also, I didn't say you were wrong. But your approach here is, and it isn't gonna get you very far with me. I'm here to do what's best for this community. Wanna see me succeed with that? Cool. Start by taking a positive approach, then we can talk.  :)

 

We'll talk about your spectator mode in due time. As I said, I do things in a specific way, for specific reasons. Being on the spectator team isn't just about being good at recording rank-ups and events, and taking pictures.

 

 

 

 

I already said I didn't express myself well. It was supposed to sound like a joke. Never mind. I don't know how to explain.

 

I believe you indirectly pointed at that.

 

Some questions can never be answered publicly. We all know this. Administration will only answer things community is allowed to know. Well, there are some players who are way too much interested in this game, they became like detectives. If you know what I mean. ;)

 

Believe it or not, I have seen it too. So you want to say I'm not right about what I saw with my own eyes? I believe I have enough proof to show about all the (recent) "delightful" work staff of this community is doing. I'm just waiting for a perfect time to show it to you. I have a lot of understanding so I wouldn't want to bother you while you have way too much on your plate already. Just, PLEASE, don't tell me something about the attitude. This is attitude that staff created during these years. I've been very dedicated too. More than dedicated. I worked too much for nothing. So please. Not up to you to judge me right now.

 

I was here for the good of the community too, but I got my mouth shut after all the useful work I did. Now I honestly don't care anymore. I am not going to show any positive approach unless I see you doing what you said you are going to do. Luckily, I've got a lot of patience nowadays. And I don't see a need of going far with you??? I already told you on Skype that I can be VERY helpful if you want me to be. I will accept your requests, but I'm not going to beg for anything. I do still care for the community as many players have a lot of trust and faith in me. So you will understand I'm doing all this for them, not administration or any kind of volunteer job that I want. :)

I don't know about your new reasons, but I never was in the spectator team as my work was serving the community, not promoting the game. I believe I said this two times already. Tho I stated that I improved a lot so I can also accept the monthly contests that SPECTATOR TEAM is supposed to do according to spectator rules from the google document we all have. :) 

 

 

 

Cheers!

Since there was no issue 53 of the Tanki Newspaper this week . Will there be any extra goodies once they put it out the Friday after next?

[theFiringHand 21,351]

Yay both times answered :D

 

Round 3!

• How long do you play daily? I mean how long does it take to finish all your stuff as the new V-log host? :)
• What's your actual job? I mean do you handle forum problems? take care of in-game or chat violations? Make scripts for V-logs? :rolleyes:
• What's your favorite song? Or type of music? :)
• Your favorite TO combo?
• How did you find TO? What drew you to Tanki? When did you become interested in helping TO and becoming employee?

PS: yeah i found ur nick :D

1. I don't even have the time to play daily. I play a couple of hours per week maximum, if I even manage.
2. Essentially, you can say I manage the EN team. But it's hard to really put a finger on what I do.

Hello , Cedric .. First of all , Congratulations to you for making this wonderful session and thank you for taking time to interact with us ..

I am personally satisfied with things going in TO right now .. except one ..

Its about the recruitment system for appointing Helpers ..

 

Particularly about this part ..

 

 

 

It says that If the application was not successful , the applicant is not contacted ..

 

Now my question is : 

1 )  Why is the contacting system like that ??  Why the applicant is contacted only if he was successful ?? 

 

 I know that our admins work hard and have a very tight schedule everyday .. An admin like Issho replies really fast .. maybe other admins don't have the time to do so .. but If one is successful and is contacted .. why can't the unsuccessful get the reply ??

 

I mean that there could be an improvement in the system which indicates the results of an applicant .. whether the applicant is successful or not .. It helps because when we apply for a particular job next time .. we can know our previous defects and rectify it ..

 

Simply leaving may be helpful .. but if the applicant is contacted  even if he/she is rejected , it could  help them much .. Explaining what was wrong in the application and what could help .. will be more helpful  when applying the next time again ..

 

If you can , please look after this issue .. Thank you once again Cedric :) 

Unsuccessful applicants are usually not contacted because we get flooded with applications, so it would be very time consuming to get back to everyone. I personally get a ton of requests every single day via pm asking me for moderator status or spectator mode.

 

As for the actual process, I'll probably be revising that. But, all in due time.

 

Do you do anything with working with and bringing in new chat moderators/game violators, etc...? :)

I don't deal with the process directly.

[FREAKS_DEAD 3]

Just to let you know, there actually is already such a kit; Huntsman. It unlocks . Find it in the expired product kits section here:

 

http://en.tankiwiki.com/Product_kits

thanks for letting me know. will the expired kits come again in the game?

[BuriedSky 1,319]

thanks for letting me know. will the expired kits come again in the game?

The developers keep rotating and changing the kits...an expired kit may or may not return...it's upto the wish of devs...they might even change something in it (for eg. the paint)..

You can keep a close eye on the wiki page, as they get the soonest updates...

Product Kits

 

Edit: BTW, the kit has been rotated quite a few times now, so there's a high probability that it will be rotated again....but still, can't say anything for 100% sure...:)
