Interview [Issue 61] Meet the New Admin!

[MiZ0o0 1,863]

The Tanki Online Newspaper is one of the main sources for information and news, be it new updates, interviews or guides about anything in the game. Besides that, you can find entertaining and interesting contests every issue to add more fun and competition between players and readers. Behind all that is a full team of Reporters and Designers to complete all of this work on time, and an Administrator to supervise and take the responsibility of the actual Newspaper.
 
Let's learn a bit more about the newest Administrator in particular and the latest news about the Newspaper.

 

 

The administrator job was in the hands of the very capable @GoldRock and @Night-Sisters, but in the past few weeks, both of them have retired from this position thanks to real life and college. Let's wish nothing but the best and success for them, but at the end of the day, there must be a new admin to take on this wide array of responsibilities they've left behind; meet @TheZigzagoonThatCan (@Shedinja), who's been deemed capable of this great task. Let's start!
 

 

 

MiZ0o0
Welcome, @TheZigzagoonThatCan, and thank you for your time. Can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
Howdy, @MiZ0o0, and thanks for having me here. Most of you might know me as @Shedinja, but outside of Tanki Online, I typically go by John, am 18 years old, and am currently taking college courses to work towards becoming a mechanical/electrical engineer, possibly going into the study of electromagnetics.

MiZ0o0
Nice! I hope you succeed in your college. When did you start your career as Tanki Online helper?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
Thanks; I started off my career as a Reporter somewhere close to April of 2015, but took on a Wiki Editor position in July 2016 as well. It's fair to say that I enjoy writing and editing things.

MiZ0o0
What helper position/s do you currently perform in Tanki Online?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
As you already know, I recently became the Newspaper Administrator as of January 2017, though I still hold my position as a Wiki Editor to this day. Though I've given my Newspaper work to @TheZigzagoonThatCan and my Wiki work to @Shedinja, I'm still grateful for what I can do for the community.

MiZ0o0
What are the perks of being an admin?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
Heh, probably my favorite change is that I don't have to unlock a topic just to post something important. Besides that, there's the fact that I now have the authority to tweak issues that have been bothering the newspaper for a while. I won't complain about Flame though.
 
MiZ0o0
How do you properly balance so many different tasks at once?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
To be honest? Not easily. But then again, doing things just because they're easy isn't why I took this position. I'm trying to organize myself and the Newspaper in such a manner so that it saves everyone much more time in the future. The best way to balance tasks is by organizing them right, in my opinion.

MiZ0o0
What do you plan to do in the Newspaper after your recent promotion?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
After having @GoldRock and @Night-Sisters leading the paper, it won't be easy to do as well as they did. However, I plan to help make the Newspaper even better than it was before, for every community that reads them.

 

MiZ0o0
How do you like the current state of the Newspaper?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
Our two previous leaders did a great job. Thanks to them, the Newspaper is a large, well-oiled machine, but it could use a few tweaks to increase its performance further.

MiZ0o0
Do you have any special plans for the Newspaper in general? What about AR Newspaper?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
Actually, I do, but I can't tell you guys about that yet. You'll see for yourselves eventually.  ^_^

MiZ0o0
What is your favorite combo and why?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
Everything I own on @TheZigzagoonThatCan is something I love using: Railgun, Smoky, Freeze, Wasp, Hunter, Mammoth. They all have their unique benefits, but there's one combination that I've grown to love more than the others: Hunter/Railgun. Why I like them is for both its effectiveness and the memories the combo holds. Hunter is my favorite hull because it can survive almost anywhere. Railgun packs a punch from any distance, and I've learned to use it effectively at almost any range. Back in the days when I played with my best friend, Josh, I used to use Hunter/Railgun all the time, and stayed under cover to defend him from enemies that got too close. He'd always use Hornet/Firebird, chasing after enemies in the front. I've come to love the combo since then.

MiZ0o0
Can you give any advice to players who want to become reporters one day?
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
Three tips, actually: make sure you have a strong love for writing, know how to write, and are willing to write. If you have these three things, you'd make a great applicant. Best of luck!

MiZ0o0
Thank you for your time John. I wish you the best of luck with leading the Newspaper  :).
 
TheZigzagoonThatCan
Thank you, too; peace. ^_^

Hunter/Rail is an interesting combo, the interview was slightly bland tho, I would have appreciated more "dynamic" questions.

[bc200214_777 582]

How do I apply to Get admin?

Hey, you can't apply for administration post.

[GrandExecutioner 1,403]

How do I apply to Get admin?

 

 

You can't apply to be admin. you must bribe the cm. You must first become a moderator/reporter/editor respectively first, then you will be promoted if you have the time and the ability to do it. Become a helper first, then talk about admin. and if needed bribe nives

 

Kill Flexoo and THEN bribe Nives

[fury987 604]

Hay bro kill flexoo and blackmail nives that if you don't give me admin role I will kill you!!

But I think kill nives and take his place

It's only to make fun it should be tryed by your own risk :D

[Do.Or.DiE 521]

[govenier 1,202]

Good luck with leading the newspaper

[Pride.In.Blood 629]
