Good morning everyone.
Happy New Year.
I want to say something here.
I have heard several people saying you have to be in the click, sorta to say, to get a Lavatank.
Well that is wrong. Just look at last nights sale. There was a lot of people that have a Lava tank that did not get one this time.
There was also a lot of people that got(will be getting) their first one.
These tanks are no different than any other tank or mod. Look at the map tank. It was hard to get when it first came out.
The Hog mod, the Reo, You know the list could go on. There is some people on here that are die hard tank owners and sure they want more. They like collecting them I guess. I'm 100% sure there is no conspiracy as who gets one and who don't.
I do have some and actually bought 1 off the classy's. It has also been said that you can't get one on the classy's cause the "lavacorps" hoard them. Well you can as several have gotten one there, like me. Believe me I don't have the money to hoard them...............LOL You can see in my sig I have three. That is all I got and it only took me from August till last sale to get those three. Guess what I am in so called Lavacorps click. Point is there is no click

The real problem is Jon also works a real job and only does this on the side. He can only make so many to sell.
Understand, in my opinion , these tanks work better than any tank I have owned. Yes I did/do own a few of the other tanks. If and when you do get your hands on one I would say there is a 99% chance you would agree with me and then you would probably be labeled a hoarder like the rest of us.

I know there are some on here that post pics of lavatanks and they have so many.
Well if you did the research you would find out they actually bought them when Jon first started making them and no one knew anything about them. Hence the word got out and grew like wildfire.
If you want one come join us on sale night and hope you are the one that gets an e-mail out quick enough to snag one.

Before you judge, try to get to know the ones that have the tank and you'll probably understand why they want more.
This is an open forum and people do misunderstand the intentions of others. It's hard to tell how a post was really intended as you do not see the person as they type. They maybe smiling or have a beat red face in anger. So my point is ask and don't guess what they meant when you see a comment.

You got a question ask. If you ask on sale night it probably is not going to get answered.

If you don't get an answer ask again. The right person may not have seen it the first time.

This is just my $.02 worth now stone me if you wish............LOL

Amen lowboy. I think it's absurd that someone pokes their head in on sale night only and expects to get their ?s answered right away. It's so hard to keep up on sale night. In 30 seconds the forum can advance 2 pages or more. The idea that there is a conspiracy is absurd. I got my 1st one last night as well as many others I've seen do. I also saw veteran lavacorps not get one. I'm sure practice and luck play a big part. Expecting to come in sale night, get your ?s answered, figure out the rules, pick your tanks, and keep up with the thread is nearly impossible. Come in and hang out, ask your ?s when they are more likely to get answered, do some research, and pray on sale night like all of us. Above all else don't come in expecting to get a tank but hoping to get one. That way you dont get too dissapointed when you lose and get excited when ya score one.I am a firm believer that you get better at sale night by hanging out here. GL to all next sale. Hang out for a bit. You're more likely to snag a tank and possibly make a really good friend.

As lowboy states, there is no certain "group".
Getting a JBTank is luck of timing. I have been around for a while now and have one. I know from being a trippytip owner about getting a few in the early stages, before they became widely known, it was much easier in the beginning.
My timing was off last night for a tank, yet I posted more than usual. I love being here during the sale and watching everyone have fun. Good luck to everyone in the New Year and JB, I do hope everything gets figured out for you and your health.

The first time i tried for a tank i went and read the rules I had read almost everything in the thread (since then i have finished) and never posted one single thing but LOVED watching the sale the friendships and the fun that went on. I messed up that try badly! The second time i tried for a tank I had still not stopped lurking but i came out to say hi that night...........I still did not get a tank that night even though I did not screw up that time! It seems like a group because it is of sorts but no one group or no gets more special treatment than anyone else poor Strpr who is awesomely helpful and a "right hand man" to the boss has not scored two sales in a row now (Sorry for using you as an example Strpr but it seems fitting to use it so people understand). I should have spoken up right away and said hi a long long time before i did and though Lurking makes it seem like its a "clique" join in and see what it really is! My first score was NOT in here my first tank was classified scored and I think its the bestest ever tank out there (I meant to misspell that so no replies saying i did it ROFL)
ok off soapbox and hi all hope everyones having a great morning

Good morning everyone!

I told Thomas what I did and I am not in trouble :) ( I never really get in trouble, I am just too good)

So, who else got the violet and bronze pawn?

Happy New Year's Eve to you all. I hope that 2012 brings all of us wonderful things (including more tanks!)!!!!

Well, he actually asked me.."What did you need another tank for?" but not because he was upset or anything. Just because he needs educated lmao.
Then he asked to see a picture of the one I picked...he's learning ;)

constant state of confusion

They learn fast....all Ogre said was "what color did you get and do you need me to pay for it?":wub: He learned a couple of sales ago not to question why I want and need more.
