[Issue 56] Behind the Tank: RustyNail

[Viking4s 10,791]

You have to understand that there are many reasons why people mult and sabotage. One is to get revenge on a teammate (very rarely occurs) and the other is to win (by sabotaging the other team) <- This happens a lot more

We understand loud and clear.

I might say that the amount/occurrence of one or the other you specified above would depend of the ranks level of the battle you play in. The higher you go the multing/sabotage get organized, thanks to the clan (Dumb meet Dumber) and the better understanding of the game mecanics.

You will always have trolls that log daily in order to troll.

Whether you sabotage to take revenge on a teammate or to win, it's stupid.

Even with the intentions of your original statement now being clear, it is not incorrect to say sabotaging is an improper coping mechanism, sometimes that is not the sole root of the problem.

 

 

 

For example, a woman is stopped by a police officer on a road. This is the first time woman is pulled over and is presumably innocent. The cop asks for license and registration, and she abides by the request. Then the cop accuses her of speeding, which she very clearly was not doing. She refutes the claim as respectfully as she can, but is no use. The officer has her step out of the car. The woman is distraught and is refusing to hold still to be cuffed. What is the root of the problem, her inability to cope with being handcuffed, or the cop misusing power?

 

 

First time experiences in sticky situations, situational influence, lack of resources, time spent in game, competitive desire, etc. attribute to whether or not the player acts in such a way that violates rule 2.1.5. or just leaves the match. That's the broad reality.

If you sabotage to win and it works, it's not stupidity, it's an unethical way to win that works. If Tanki wants to stop it, they need to take appropriate measures. "It's never stupid if it works"

Brisk , you're from USA. It's not bad but you don't need artificial colorant and preservatives.

 

It does have many roots causes, this is why there is not an easy solution to this complex issue.

The best thing is reporting (leave the decision to the mod/specialist) and then leave or ignore (if possible).

[Vikingsrallentando 3,058]

Suit yourself, I think we accomplished something. That something still seems to be purely subjective to either side.

We all have guilty pleasures. Certain substances can be consumed with proper moderation.

The reports concerning certain posts on this topic have been dealt with, and the relevant parties will be contacted very shortly to close this matter. 

Back on topic now please. It's not helpful at all if discussion keeps straying away from the actual article, and instead becomes argumentative!

[Cyborg 3,189]

If you have any personal grievances then you should better keep it personal or discuss it somewhere else as your discussion is going off-topic.

 

Thank you for understanding

Reading 2000mc's arguments here was more entertaining than the entire Tanki News section.

What you said doesn't matter at all. The fact is the the balance is bad, and could EASILY be made better, and Tanki could  EASILY make money in other ways.  Everyone knows that F2P games have to make money some way or another. That doesn't mean they all do it with equal quality and ingenuity.

 

And like RustyNail said, there should be an element of fair-play even in online games where the object is to destroy the enemy.

I kindly asked @Vikingsrallentando in private to tell me how he picks the users he interviews but after writing moving poetry he left the conversation without providing me with an answer. So I ask again questions which concern everybody:

 

How do reporters choose users to be interviewed? Do they have a list of criterions to respect? And, more specifically, could you please explain us why did you choose RustyNail?

Is that all?

Running after our tails, aren't we? :P

Why don't you just let go? Forget me, as I have forgotten you and each one goes to each one's road. Universe is big enough so wee never have to see each other again. Hopefully.

Someone proved you were a hypocrite so this interview isn't worth anything anymore unless the reporter gives us the legit reason why he chose you.

Viking is under no obligation to tell you his exact reasoning or method of choosing interviewees. He is allowed to choose his own interviewees as he is the reporter and it is his article series, although I am sure that he chooses the players who have an interesting background and would make a nice article for the newspaper. In addition, a contrasting line in RusyNail's final statement of the interview does not warrant the entire interview invalid or worthless.

 

I quote from the start of the topic:

 

If you got issues with someone we got a PM system. No need to flood a newspaper topic with nonsense.
