Of morality and leisure.

I cannot speak authoritatively regarding Silence's absence, but I can reason. The Forum and chat have recently been thick with complaints, concerns and issues regarding Silence. Apparently, despite Tanki's yeoman efforts, Silence is hacked. Again, reasoning without certain knowing, Silence has been removed for "work." Personally, I don't care much for Silence finding far more equality in other maps of which there are many. But a potential lesson exists here.

 

Folks who don't abide by Rules, complain. Yet, here and clearly, an example of what rule breakers do to the larger group of Tankers shines through. Because some elect to violate rules, to cheat, a map favored by many is out of action. There are good reasons for rules, and the community of Tanki is improved when more abide by them. When violators do their self-centered stuff, other Tankers suffer.

 

Finally, this may be a fine time to investigate other maps of which there are many. Silence tends to be one-sided, favoring the top shelf team. Check out Bridges, Noise (A slight top side bias here, too.), Industrial Zone. Aww, shoot. No point in listing options. They're there for you who care to find them, and there are aplenty. When change occurs, adjust, and drive on!

 

Good Tanking!

Sorry MadDog, but the first thing that comes to mind when I see this post is "Moderator trying to justify their actions from dropping the banhammer too readily". The second thing that comes to mind is "Moderator trying to make an example out of everything and anything to teach a lesson". Neither of these are very good motives.

 

So whilst there were wise words said, I have to admit that I cannot see any right motives for posting this topic and it very much seems a subtle (or not so subtle) way of forwarding your cause.

 

I admit I could be (and probably are) wrong, but that is what I see when reading this thread,

No, MadDog

Only Industrial Zone is one-sided

The lower sides in Silence and Noise usually win because they can get the flag MUCH easier

Only Industrial Zone is one-sided

:shock: Really?

Wise words again MadDog!

I believe you are wrong. There is nothing here that suggests a justification for banning people...which, BTW, he does appropriately. As far as trying to teach a lesson...why not take the opportunity to do such? This forum is filled with children who are still trying to grasp the concept of their actions and the consequences that unfold as a result of those actions. Helping them make the connection in this game can translate into making the connect in real life. After all. watch the play of a group of pre-adolescent kids. They will spend 15 minutes creating the rules by which they play a game of tag. Anyone who violates those rules is called a "cheater," and the others don't want to play with him/her again. It is through this process that we learn to function within the societal boundaries that we must all conform to, or suffer the consequences of banishment (jail, etc.).

Yeah, that is true.

 

How come for me the upper side always win? :shock:

I dunno. I've played many a game where red have won, sometimes I was blue, sometimes I was red. I have also played many games where blue have won.

upperside winns because its easyer to shoot down than up.

that why silence was perfect. its the map liked best because its a fair fight. no advantage of feelds. upperside had a weak point, a short cut but on the otherside the lowerside has more buildings. the advantage of hight is almost compleetly taken away.

 

other maps like nois dont have that. the same collor always wins. and gunns like freeze, firebird and isida are purely for combe, silence, highland and ping pong.

 

so its not supprising that hackers choose for silence. its the most played map.

without silence tanki is not tanki.

 

and maddog, dont take the easy way :wink:

its no fun with al those hackers but their are manny more ways to solve that problem. just taking the map out while it gets a security update will not work, its a temporary solution, the hackers will just start too see it as a game hacking silence.

 

bisides, i would prefer the solution that is saw in wolvenstein. making a group of special players, give them the right to kick in silence and give only them the right to make silence maps. that way their is always a 'mod' around to take the hackers down.

 

tanki community is not mishaving, their just like criminals. and yu need a permanent solution like a prison to take em out.

 

but goodluck with the problems and happy birthday tanki!

(the other maps are just way less funn, whants silence back!!!) :(
