IMPORTANT LEAK: MTGA campaign uncovers who really controls the EN community Today, the Make Tanki Great Again campaign team obtained a critical leak from insiders in the corrupt EN community establishment that revealed who's really in control. The answer: . "But Cedric is the boss!" we hear you cry. Nope, it's just a cover. A ruse. He may be secretly German (as we exclusively revealed on our website), but he's only a low-level agent. The actual top-dog of the EN community is none other than the omnipresent Ostrica. What does this mean? It turns out that Chat Admin Ostrica is also Forum Admin Ostrica, Newspaper Admin Ostrica and even CM Ostrica. Ostrica controls everything. The other Admins merely do Ostrica's bidding. No ifs, no buts, no questions asked - Ostrica has ultimate authority over all. This leak confirms our worst nightmares and strengthens our resolve to fight for change. We MUST take back our community! We must prepare our Supporters for the revolution! We cannot let this corrupt establishment continue for any longer! MAKE TANKI GREAT AGAIN!!! — Secretary of State @GoldRock; sponsored by President @Yisroel.Rabin, First Lady @Night-Sisters, Chief of Staff and Chief Strategist @beaku

Pfft, I wrote that bit :rolleyes:

tl;dr version:

Secretary of State says TSY_the_crazy "just not funny" In this morning’s cabinet meeting, GoldRock made a rare appearance with a big important complaint to make. “Why does TSY_the_crazy keep on posting on our forum page?” he said, seemingly materialising out of nowhere as he walked into the room. “I really don’t get it. It’s like he thinks his posts are funny when they really aren’t. They're flatter than that can of Pepsi the Anti-MTGA protestors gave us.” “In all seriousness,” he continued sagely, “it’s total spam. It doesn’t even provoke a smile, let alone a hearty chuckle. On the scale of humour, it’s somewhere in-between a 4-hour calculus paper and your childhood dog’s funeral.” “If he thinks he’s doing the Anti-MTGA campaign any favours, he’s not. It just looks like he’s taken the first really amusing page in the forum in a long time, and unwittingly milked the joke to death.” "At least things haven't changed much since I left this place." As the other members of the cabinet sat in stunned silence, GoldRock got up to leave. As he walked out, witnesses heard him mutter “oh and btw, no offence to that guy” before he returned to the shadows. — Secretary of State GoldRock

^Seconded - loved the twist at the end. Very impressive short-story writing!

Debunking the Myths: Are ChooChoo_Ima_Train’s rumours about eragon33’s “corruption” true? Was reading through this topic, and I just thought I'd briefly log back into the forum to share a document I previously wrote to clear up this matter. Oh, and it's great to see the Creative League thriving with designers from the community continuing to share their work here. Let's keep the friendly atmosphere going rather than provoking old fights, I'm sure the CL will go onward and upwards from here ^_^

The @dictatorship of the Newspaper was a highly @Important position. No @Wonder @N.o.6.o.d.y knew @W-h-o really in @Control. , @The stated @Leader was @Shedinja… @But @How did he get into @Power? The truth behind this @Mystery is @One of @EvilPride and @Sly @Fraud. The ultimate deception. *** January 2018. It was now or never. @Shedinja walked briskly through the dimly-lit corridors, keeping head down as he stuck to the @Shadows. He could hear a loud Serbian voice coming from the floor below, ed by muffled laughter. @Fen-Harel was keeping the Reporters @Busy in the social room, as planned. Good. It wasn’t long before his path was @blocked by a huge @Titanium door. @Looking around to check the coast was clear, Shedinja @Keyed in the password. With a beep and an @orange , the door slid back to reveal a huge @Safe. The place where the entire Newspaper @Funds of millions of @Crystals were @Guarded. His breath becoming more rapid with every passing , he entered the @Combination, and the safe @Clicked open. *** “@Agent.Trojan, have you got the crystals? Do they suspect anything?” @GoldRock asked, sitting back in his lime-@GreenChair as Shedinja entered. “@Agent.Provokator, the problem is @Remaine…” started Shedinja, but GoldRock held up a hand to @Silence him. “I know about Rem. He’s too @Sharp for his own good – he suspects we replaced the rest of the Newspaper team with clueless s on purpose. He’s onto us, isn’t he? No matter. I will deal with him, @just @Like I dealt with @Night-Sisters.” Shedinja nodded, with a @DISTINCT sigh of relief. “And now,” GoldRock @Continued, “@You are no longer needed. The @Time has come to replace you.” He pulled a revolver out of his pocket with a small, @Evil.Smile. “Wha-what…?” “Fen is a @Loyal agent. He will take place.” GoldRock paused for a moment, took aim, and fired. Word count: 310 words. Version without usernames:

Honestly, if all of these posts by RIDDLER have secretly been subtle trolling attempts, I could totally imagine an amused RIDDLER sitting at his computer screen and laughing at our reactions. The scary thing is, I don't think they are...

The Coup has Succeeded! The social revolution is here! After long, covert operations to overthrow the evil Newspaper Dictators, the proletariat has finally overthrown the corrupt bourgeoisie as prophesied, ending years of exploitation and taking rightful control of the means of Newspaper production... Alright, on a more serious note, Night and I are both stepping down from the Newspaper Admin position due to significant real-life priorities (not the oppressed proletariat, pls) taking over. Feel free to weep at the loss of these two great Newspaper leaders as you read on to find out more :unsure: @GoldRock: As the title implies, I’m stepping down from the Newspaper Admin position and from the Newspaper completely. @TheZigzagoonThatCan (@Shedinja's new main account) will take over as my successor – I have spent the last 1.5 months working closely with him to train him for the role, as well as having written a typical Goldy-style 30-page “Admin Guide” with all the necessary information and know-how for a Newspaper Admin. He has proven himself to be very capable, dedicated and organised, and I am very confident he will do a great job. The main reason I’m stepping down is to shift all my focus to my real-life priorities. Recently, after a lengthy admissions process involving written statements, tests and interviews, I found out that my application to study Politics/Philosophy/Economics (PPE) at Oxford University has been successful and my chosen college has given me an offer. So yeah, that’s a pretty big deal, and I want to make sure I get good end-of-high-school exam results (the offer is conditional upon me achieving certain grades) as well as preparing for my university studies. Except for a few occasional visits, I will also be leaving the game, forum and my Tanki Skype account. So I guess this is not just stepping down from the Helpers, but also a goodbye from me. I might log back in and visit the forum very infrequently, but no guarantees! Before I go, I’d like to take the time to thank all of you, readers and friends, for being awesome people. I’ve been involved with Helper projects to contribute to the community in various roles and teams for something like 3-4 years, and I’ve made great friends (who I will certainly keep in touch with beyond Tanki) and gained some good experience during that time. There are frankly too many specific individuals to list – all of the people in this community who've supported me along the way, you know who you are! So yeah, to all you readers: keep on being awesome ^_^ @Night-Sisters: (sigh) okay, this one hurts...Tanki has been a deeply influential part of my life over the past years, and writing/administrating for the paper was a wonderful experience. I've made amazing friends who have helped me grow as a Christian, a person, and a writer, and have so very many good memories... however, I suppose even the best things must eventually come to an end, and I find myself without enough time to adequately complete my duties in the paper. Blame college, life, and the NS. I will be leaving the paper completely in order to focus on school. A huge thanks to all of the reporters I've come to know and interact with over my year in the paper, but a special shout-out to @Shedinja, @GoldRock, @Phoenix-Warbird, and @tweezers - thank you for all the conversations. I can't even begin to express how much that means to me. :) Thanks guys, it's been good.

Thanks ! Really appreciate it :wub:
