hope I will get halloween super-mission again

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

hellow dear

when did "racist" become a strong word?

 

 

It became a strong word, because it is associated (correctly) with some very, very bad things that happened in history and even today - and most of the people don't want to be associated with beeing like those people whi have done those bad things.

 

But the issue is, that this word is used wrongly today so many times (out of it's meaning). As people are too "lazy" to check the meaning, to think for themselfes.. they accept that misuse. But as they have no idea what it used to mean, they can not defend themselfes either. Therefore it is such a formidable discussion killer, as it puts the non-informed individual into a corner witout escape - and by today it does that _no_matter_ if it was used right or wrong(!).

To continue to use it wrong just bangs this even deeper into readers brains.

 

In the example a few posts above it was cast onto someone who spoke about different economic systems and the effect they cause on the people living in it. This has nothing to do with races or ethnies. It was just a very poor example of "bad stereotyping", it has nothing to do with racism.

You wanted to make this Halloween 2016 as a good celebration and that players really enjoy it. I'll give you that. Special paints and Halloween bundle, Halloween daily mission, sales on Hulls, Turrets, Modules, Paints etc - that's great. No, I have not forgotten the Halloween themed map. Map looks good, battles on it are dynamic. But there's one tiny problem - mults!

 

With this year's celebration of Halloween, seems that some kind of Pandora's box is opened. Like all the mults in Tanki got out and went straight away to play wait (mult) for a Gold boxes on Halloween maps. There are hundreds of them.

 

 

 

Interesting^, isn't it? It seems that greed of mults for Gold boxes is so great, that they are willing to wait 2 x 15 minutes (30 minutes).

 

No, I am not reporting mult(s) in this post, I know how to report game and chat violations. I only want to raise awareness, that's all. Thanks.

Ahh I haven't been on the forum in so long, I miss tankis ethical and detailed arguments.

[Bydo 20,161]

This is nowhere close to the Barda map... and yes, I agree that it's similar to last year's map. Maybe they're planning something big...  :ph34r:

I was told by a Dev this is the map they use for Halloween ...

 

Got 5 golds yesterday, I wish I will get more today for gold box montage :)

well good luck .. i myself finished all three missions on two of my account and i also removed one of them again today and received my second on that account so if i remove another daily mission on another account out of the three accounts i would have 5 in told completed and xx amount of gold and battle game crystals ...i personal do not like how the missions are this year i find them lame and not worthy to do ..compared to last years we received way more in crystals and in bonuses ...

[dan146_tanker 770]

The halloween map should've had gold rains. Tanki shouldn't lie to us about discounts. Its either 31% or 50%. We waste our crystals on other things 'cause we know we can't afford M2s and M3s that are only 31% so then when its announced that its 50% what can we buy? We wasted our crystals 'cause we thought we wouldn't have enough.... Also, the halloween missions should be easier, but also give you tons of crystals to help you for the sales.

[dan146_tanker 770]

You are at a low rank, so battle fund increases slower, meaning less chance of golds. At high ranks I would imagine there would be a gold at least once every battle.

You would imagine that but... there was about 1 gold per 60 minutes... and that was only if we were lucky... :(

1. okay. it is associated with bad things, and people don't wanna be called that cuz they don't want to be associated with bad things too. but he did a bad thing, right?

2. do u think i have poor skills in english, and my vocabulary is crap? well, u r leading for a catastrophic fight with me :P if the person i called as a "racist" doesn't know the meaning of racism properly, thats not my fault!

and racism doesn't only mean whites whipping blacks SOLELY because of their skin colour. it means discriminating against a group of people solely because of their physical features, or their origin. in this case, that guy was clearly discriminating against the devs, and as a justification saying they r "russians, so htats y so bad at marketing"

that translates to "russians bad at marketing". whoa. u necessarily HAVE to be bad at marketing just because u r a russian now. fantasticò.

Edit:

yes, i am srry. the word "xenophobia" wasnt known to me, so i described him as racist since that was the word i knew, closest to what i meant. i am srry.

 

however, that doesnt make u right, black wasp.

If anything, it would be Xenophobia, not racism. Not saying the quote in the spoiler is or isn't xenophobic, but it certainly isn't racism.

[bozo88 450]

You know what, this is post 440, so I am waiting till next page to post.

[bozo88 450]

TO economy? My tank track! There is no "economy" because there is only one source of income and 1 place to spend it. Combine that with the various personal sales, and that useless 2x crystal pass gift, and the TO "economy" is shot.

I wholeheartedly believe that Admin can do what ever they want. However, if they are going to do something in the name of player entertainment, then it need to entertain more tankers than just >Marshal and them with Credit Cards. 

I read the wiki re: GB. So 1:10,000 is the drop rate. 10,000 what? Days? Hours? Minutes? Games Sessions? Abolish them. PS I've played less than 10,000 hours, and I've ran across over 40 GB.

Also, seeing as the bait was bitten: my problem with MU is that they are not clear and easy to use. They should be divided up into 50 sections, all costing the exact same. It is pointless to tell me that a certain MU "speeds up" or something, when the MU to MU is unnoticeable, plus the fact that I have no choice in what I want to upgrade. Also, I have a M0+43 Isida, and it no longer vampires off the enemy's health to heal me.

For me it is a best Halloween so far. Nice map , excellent reward (especially big mission, I think everyone got, maybe even twice a day ).

Yes, there are lots of mults in battle, and when they really did not . Again you can find some good battles like this.

Hey, my inital answer was just 3 lines.. then he asked for more :P

 

 

@iamthegr8est1,

 

 

You use many words to not prove me wrong, nor proove you right - you just defend yourself like a wounded tiger.

 

Maybe you think of this one: I wonder if there was ever a situation where something became actually _better_ by calling someone a racist. I doubt so. The world does not get better, if we sent everyone into the corner-of-shame, instead of talking to them. Escpecially not they are assigned to the wrong corner-of-shame.

 

By the way I am not picky on you. I'm called a racist about 1 time per 14 days in battle chats. Wanna know why? Just because of my nickname :P "hey BlackWasp, you are a racist". Yeah, I love you to..

So.. they have no idea what racism truely is. Most likely as they read it or heard it in a wrong useage. Therefore I wrote you. cya around, bye ;)

they do but not really .. they have a budget of how many they can give out .. like on sales they have to keep it in a limited amount .. you don't want to see one sale at 75% off when another is listed at only 15% how would that be fair ..also they do receive a certain amount that can be given out for gifts and once they go over that amount it dips into the next months contest amounts so the next month would end up less .. also for the Halloween sale i found this was not at all fair due to the amount we got last year in missions .. and this year we only get one if your lucky..

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I got a second Halloween super mission today as well.

 

Trick seems to be finding a 30 or 60 minute battle with a good team. That knocked out 2/3 of my 3000xp mission. Now I just need to scrape up the rest.

 

Not sure I will claim before the restart though. I really do not want this mission again on Monday.

 

I also snagged a pretty sweet picture I'll post here and in POTD

Thanks - I've been playing CTF, but I'm sure you're right about CP.

 

My fave moment so far in this map:

[Bydo 20,161]

have you got on top of the houses Yet... I have its cool when I first did it no one else knew about it then the next few games its so funny players like fire and wasp trying to do it or Dictator with rail , that was humorous the most..only one house i still have not done hope to do it today

[bozo88 450]

Guess what? My Rank 8 account just snagged a Golden Pumpkin in a CTF at the 8 minute mark with 6 other people and a BF of 342c! Now all i need is some way to transfer funds from one account to another.

 

Oh, 1 other thing that p1sses me off about GB, they can only be purchased with real dinero. I am quite proud of TO for allowing you to purchase a Pro Pass for 50K crystals. This means that CC-less tankers like myself can participate in pro battles! Why can't we just pay crystals for GB? Like 1250 or something? (to prevent farming). Another thing, when Mine slot became  available, we were gifted with 10 mines. But at WO, we weren't gifted with 5 GB!

[Godmode_ON5s 15]

 I thought 5x gold where is it, it doesnt like this guy up here :o 

wow that guy falling on golds every single time on Planet Gold box "lol"   :ph34r:  :blink:  :rolleyes:

Congratulations, but transfer of in-game currency is not possible.
