An extra interview Why did you participate in the tournament? @TS7StudioHD: I participated in this tournament because I want to represent my country, which is India. Also, I wanted to show some cool tricks for the audiences and for them to have fun. This competition makes you become better and perfect your talent. @cube3e: The reason why I decided to take part this time after losing every year whilst knowing that this year there would be only 10 winning teams was the encouragement and support offered to me by my amazing parkour club, Fight & Flight, who I have to credit for all of my success over the past year. Thanks to their amazingly creative ideas which they had passed down to me, I knew I had a much bigger shot at winning this time than I ever did. @SwiftSmoky: I have two reasons to participate in MOP. Of course everyone want the prize. But also to show my team's (Fight & Flight) skills to a wider audience to get more subscribers. As much as I don't like trying to become more famous, it is a requirement for achieving my goal of teaching the community and improving the parkour in the game. : Simple. First of all I wanted the paint :P Second of all it is our task to take place as the official EN Parkour team. (my opinion) In addition I expected it to be fun even though it took some time particularly during the live-stream. @Torben_BoS: Easy... we are TFP, a parkour team. It was obvious that we would take part in a parkour contest! Were the tricks harder to achieve under stress? @TS7StudioHD: The tricks are harder under pressure, but you get to take up a real challenge and I love it :). @cube3e: The pressure was immense! Half of my team members were only active on weekends meaning we only had 2 days a week to actually get the good tricks recorded. I only had 2 days a week to make sure all my team members, specs and helpers to help us organise the big tricks such as the skyscraper were readily available. @SwiftSmoky: I don't feel pressure when a lot of people watch me, I had a few performances on a stage as a child so I don't get any pressure from being watched. : Since I am used to be in a live-stream - not that much. However, there still is the pressure and the thought that you have to succeed as fast as possible. Therefor, as a result, you easily might make mistakes. To be honest there is sometimes a little bit of luck involved in contests like MoP. Still skill is required more. @Torben_BoS: I guess so. The 2 minutes are hardly any time, and in preparation we were better in these tricks - of course, after we had found the way we wanted to achieved them.

[EN Special] Master of Parkour 2016 - Final
GoldRock replied to GoldRock in [EN Special] Master of Parkour 2016 - Final Archive
Master Of Parkour 2016 - Final The Master of Parkour - MOP competition is a parkour tournament created in 2013. In this article, we will focus on what happened in today's Final, briefly reporting on the performance of the 10 finalist teams (would have been 11 but a Brazilian team unfortunately pulled out beforehand) who gave their best to reach this final stage. Let's talk about the Final! (Note that the scores/ranking shown on the stream towards the end are incorrect, due to a technical error - see below) It was an intense final between these 10 finalists! Each team had to complete a series of tricks, each trick within a time of 2 minutes - the teams earned points based on their timing, technique, and the creativity and difficulty of their approach. So, which teams won the extraordinary Spider SA * protection module with 50% mine resistance? The teams: - The Maniacs: @TemurGvaradze, @OnlyGodCanJudgeM_e, , @Cry - The French Fury: @Brezator, @shot91160 , @rascasse49, @charly.guette - Indian Spirit: @S.U.K.H.W.I.N.D.E.R, @iN.O.O.B, , @TS7StudioHD - R4NDOMLY WON: @FelRigge, , @MOR4RL3, - Fight & Flight: @Miahak, @darrrex, @SwiftSmoky, @So - VIPS: , @I.Am.YoUr.NlghTmArE, , - The Flying Parkourist: @Nikk, , , @Torben_BoS - Covalent: @cube3e, @SHOAIB.ZAFAR, @Spoon, @You_Lose_ok - German Tanki Tutorial: , @jnjnnj, @I.Destiny, - Dutch Revolution: @I.Legend.I, , , @Mr.SkiIIZz In summary: Unfortunately, two of the ten finalist teams could not participate in the final: The French Fury and Dutch Revolution. It is a pity to struggle and work hard to reach such a high level in the competition, and then not to be able to show what they are capable of. Let's see how the other 8 teams approached the three tricks and what points the teams got for each of them. 1st trick: Kungur - The Maniacs: They were unlucky with their first attempt at this trick in Kungur. Their second attempt was very close to being a success but... it failed to make it. They won 6.8 points. - Fight & Flight: An awesome trick! Considering its difficulty, the team surprised everybody by pulling the stunt off within the first minute. They won 56.5 points! - Indian Spirit: They used an interesting (but less challenging) composition and managed the trick in 20 seconds! They won 50.1 points. - R4NDOMLY WON: This team made a rather interesting structure in their parkour attempt, but unfortunately didn't manage to get on the house... so they earned 19.8 points. - VIPS The team made use of the common approach shown in the example video for the task. Unfortunately, the player who was jumping landed on his side which made the trick less pretty, but they did manage to get on the house in an impressive 11 seconds! They won 42.8 points. - The Flying Parkourist: A hugely impressive and difficult trick, just about managed within 1 minute 40 seconds. They won 53.9 points! - Covalent: Making use of the common approach, they succeeded in 56 seconds. They earned 30.7 points. - German Tanki Tutorial: Surprisingly, despite high expectations, GTT decided to take the common approach for this one. They managed the trick in two tries and 33 seconds, earning 38 points. 2nd figure: Kolhoz - The Maniacs: They realized the tricks in 2 trials using a Viking as the jumper. Not only was it challenging, but it was also very cleanly executed. This left them with a significantly increased total score (sum of scores for both tricks) of 66.7. - Fight & Flight: They made an impressive trick involving just two tankers but were not scored highly (perhaps it wasn't difficult or well-executed enough for the judges?), leaving them with 91.9 points earned in total up to this point - Indian Spirit: Unfortunately, this team failed to find the mark and lost out in this round, their score only increasing by a small amount to 64.9 overall. - R4NDOMLY WON: They failed, but were very close to getting there and so earned some points, moving their score up to 37.7. - VIPS: This team also got pretty close on several occasions, but failed and weren't well-rewarded as a result, leaving them with a total of 65.6! - The Flying Parkourist: The team impressed us once more with an impressive trick, boosting their overall score significantly. They ended up with a grand total of 104 points! - Covalent: The trick was completed but just outside the 2 minutes allowed, and so a high score wasn't awarded. This left the team with 65.5 points for both tricks. - German Tanki Tutorial: Demonstrating a rather difficult trick, the team managed to succeed in the 2nd try! Thus, they earned more points than in the first round and pushed themselves back into the competition with a total of 77.3. Last trick: Wolfenstein - The Maniacs: Once again, we were surprised by a huge trick! Their final total was 114.5 points - very respectable, but unfortunately let down by their very poor performance on the first task. - Fight & Flight: A very unique and impressive approach was prepared, involving two Ricochets attempting to shoot a Wasp onto a building by rebounding their bullets against its wall (hard to explain, just watch it for yourself!). However, unfortunately they just couldn't get off the ground and didn't succeed. Their grand total was an impressive 119.7 points! - Indian Spirit: The team failed to get on the house in time, and so finished with 82.7 points! - R4NDOMLY WON: They surprised us by realizing the an impressive trick in 1 minute and 40 seconds, totalling 90 points! - VIPS: The team realized their trick very neatly and quickly. Grand total: 106.1 points! - The Flying Parkourist: Once again, we were amazed by the performance of TFP. Their trick was unique, highly skilled, and they celebrated their feat with a rain of gold boxes as they totalled 167.5 points! - Covalent: They didn't manage to get on the house in time, so they ended up with an overall total of 101.4 points. - German Tanki Tutorial: They made use of a quick and tactical approach to this task, managing the trick quite well and finishing on 119.6 points... just 0.1 of a point behind Fight & Flight! Conclusion: Final Table Click here for more detailed score tables and background information on each team So we have our winners: Teams The Flying Parkourists, Fight and Flight and German Tanki Tutorials leave with a special protection Spider SA * Module resistance with 50% mine resistance. The scores/ranking shown on the stream towards the end are incorrect, due to a technical error. These are the corrected scores and final standings! The prizes: 1st place: one week of Premium, 50,000 crystals, 50 of each supply, 20 gold boxes, Spider SA * Module resistance with 50% mine resistance. 2nd place: one week for Premium 30 000 crystals, 30 of each supply, 15 gold boxes, Spider SA * Module resistance with 50% mine resistance. 3rd place: one week for Premium 20 000 crystals, 20 of each supply, 10 gold boxes, Spider SA * Module resistance with 50% mine resistance. For all finalists: one week for Premium, 10 000 crystals and 5 gold boxes. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The competition is finally over, and we were impressed by all the teams who together pulled off an amazing performance. Congratulations to all and see you next year - hopefully when Master of Parkour 2017 takes place!

Other [Issue 61] Creative Feature: The Tanki Bots
GoldRock replied to GoldRock in [Issue 61] Creative Feature: The Tanki Bots Newspaper Archive
Brought to you by designer , this creativity-based feature offers a glimpse into the imaginative world of the Tanki Bots. Immerse yourself in this short collection of professional illustrations and backstories. Read on to explore further! The Wolf The Wolf is one half of a famous duo know as the "Elementary Brothers". Possessing the crystallising power of Ice, it likes to hunt its prey by firing streams of icy water which solidify upon impact. This slows its chosen victims down and makes them vulnerable and unable to move, leaving them at the Wolf's mercy. The Wolf hunts alone, and can usually be found lurking in the dark protecting its territory: the Flag and precious control power points. The Dragon The Dragon the other half of the famous "Elementary Brothers" duo, gifted with the destructive power of Fire. It likes to burn its prey to the ground, melting them and then feeding on the melted remains. The fierce Dragon is also know to burn the hilly, open lands of Tanki's vast empire, with a map named Massacre in his honour. The only thing that motivates the Dragon is his deadly game of death, spreading his reign of terror for all to fear. The Wizard The infamous sorcerer is know to be a blessing to those on his side and a bane to those who dare stand against him. He craves power, stealthily sucking the life from his victims and making them helplessly weak. On the other hand, the Wizard is loyal, granting health to fellow members of his tribe when they struggle on the battlefield and making use of his unique ability to heal himself. A wise and powerful warlord, the Wizard is just as capable fighting alone as he is alongside his tribe. And that wraps up our glimpse into the creative Tanki Bots universe. We hope you enjoyed this original piece, and feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings below. See you on the battlefield! -

Uh... try changing server? Unless I'm missing something here...

We already told you that you were rejected on the basis of bad karma, and that you needed to wait some months before re-applying... If you wanted to talk to me, you should have contacted me instead of ignoring what we said and continuing to re-apply. Also, when you re-applied, you did so while trying to conceal your identity. Why should we respond to that dishonesty?
-
We told you that you were rejected based on bad karma, and that's why you were rejected. You were not rejected based on attitude, though you've since demonstrated that your attitude is not ideal for the job. Cedric is not the person who has ultimate responsibility for rejecting Reporter applicants, I am - why didn't you just discuss it with myself?
-
Lol, the actual reason is that you threw an immature tantrum about your rejection from Hindi Reporter Candidacy (due to bad karma) - and in the process, decided to immaturely share confidential Helper information on the forum in an attempt to undermine our work for the community. This led to your subsequent exclusion from all Newspaper projects, since why should you benefit from our work if you're trying to damage it? Honesty is a virtue ;)

Your entry is a valid one, and will be judged on its quality. I think Pdox was just trying to express that the 'troll' bits (like calling it a 'potato') won't really help you to win a prize, since things like the rank name and the other info you give will be part of judging the best entries i.e. who has the best ideas not only for design, but also for the rank name and how it would fit into the game. That being said, there will be no bias in judging your entry, and it will be judged fairly. However, as above, it might not gain marks for name, experience/crystal etc. since your proposal for these areas doesn't seem realistic. It might be a good idea to modify these, if you want to increase your chance of winning. Good luck!
