an alternative to the alternative wish
« on: October 07, 2013, 06:29:12 AM »
Instead of no icons for GVs, how about special icons for tankers that don't want to be bombed?

Those opting in would get a large X to warn people not to bomb that particular tank.  Even if they are shooting up your town or airfield, you will know not to bomb that particular tank and the game will be much more fair and just.

I love the X marks the spot; I'd like the tank to explode and, like a piñata, release treats and candy.

I prefer a big "Hey, Kool-Aid" icon, otherwise, great idea!!!   :aok   :aok

You are too old-fashioned for me...

Looks like "x" marks the spot for me.

How about if you kill the icon with the big X you hear Kool-Aids signature phrase "Ohhhhhhhhh Yeaaaaah"  :lol

...is the tank explosion sound the same one as planes augering?  I've never thought about it before.  The Ohh Yeahh might just be humorous anyways, regardless of what type of vehicle exploded.

Certainly nobody here would commit such a dastardly act.  Those guys that are afraid of heights will soon be afforded the same level of safety that real tanks had.

It's a win-win for everyone!

I must say, rather amusing. Good show. A little slow on the draw, but jolly good.   :D
