    I like that trick at 0:28, it's a good video overall. Also, I recommend choosing a single paint for the club so both your members and viewers can feel they are all part of one team (this is not very important though). I also liked the editing and spectating at the start of the video.

    You guys keep trying, I appreciate it, that's an ingredient for success! The current editor tried their best but for the growth of the team, I recommend you to find a better editor, maybe from the Videomakers section, especially from a video editing community. Can't wait to see improvement in your next video!

    Parkour Club Announcements

    Parkour Club Rules Update The Parkour Club Rules has been updated. Now official parkour clubs should post at least one new video every 12 weeks instead of 6 weeks. It can be any parkour video related to this game of any length. This was done after all the leaders of the current official parkour clubs (TFP, FTH, FTL, ToD) unanimously agreed to change the previously given 6 weeks. If you think something should be changed or improved, please comment here.

    The first version is good in its own style but it was more like a fast teaser for me, I liked the second version better especially because of its video editing and how the tricks were shown. And I see a good improvement in the quality of parkour tricks (but there is still room for improvement), could be due to the new better physics, but it's not possible without trying so this also shows the team has improved since the previous video. I liked the Wasp-Magnum, Wasp-Hammer, and Railgun trick at Kungur, the Polygon trick, and the tandem trick at Osa. Spectating was good too. Also, as a suggestion I want to let you guys know that I would love to see tricks with more players in the next video. Keep going and rising! ?

    Can't wait for the second version so I can make some good comparisons.

    [FTH] Fly To High

    Very nice video, spectating at the last trick could have been better. Some tricks seem to be a little not at the level of the tricks performed in some previous videos, I liked the one at 1:27. Keep doing tricks with more and more players, it's great to see such tricks and such participation.

    I actually liked this video. The tricks are mostly quite simple for the new physics but worth it for 24 hours I think. My favourite tricks from this video are at 0:17, 0:55, and 1:01. Overall, great video for only 24 hours. Now my expectations for the next video are very high!

  15. Watch us fly onto and dominate several different icy buildings in the frozen world of Tanki Online using the power of parkour in winter glory. This montage should soon become your new favourite!

    Parkour Discussion / Q&A

    I already told them more than once that each official parkour club should have their own unique paint but unfortunately, nothing happened, it seems they will not do this. That is why I am trying to find other solutions.

    Parkour Discussion / Q&A

    You read my mind, it's already part of my idea to do "They should submit an application to become official." and I already posted this to the leaders of official and supported parkour clubs in our Parkour Club Support Discord server. Clubs that want to become official should make sure they meet the "Requirements for Official Status" and request official status by creating a topic in a special section of the forum, this section should be public. Only those who request official status gets it even if a club meets the requirements for official status, and only 1 request will be processed at a time in the first come first serve basis. The parkour clubs manager will judge whether the club meets the requirements by scoring points for each category of the requirements, and then also does the same to score points for each category of the requirements for official status versus the existing official club to determine which one of the two is the best (this step can be skipped if there are no official parkour clubs). Then the parkour clubs manager will make a decision and the community manager approves it. Probably the parkour category of the "Requirements for Official Status" can allow giving, for example, 2 points, and the rest of the categories 1 point. The "Requirements for Official Status" may also be improved and made a bit more difficult. Also, a club can only request to become official status once every 3 or 6 months. And requests are not processed during the first 3 or 6 months after accepting and giving official status to a parkour club, means other clubs cant challenge this new official parkour club until after 3 or 6 months (not sure if it should be 3 or 6 months at the moment, probably 6 months). These are just ideas.

    Parkour Discussion / Q&A

    That rule (of Parkour Club Rules) was to post 1 video every 4 weeks, and then it was increased to 1 video every 6 weeks. Anyhow, one reason why that rule about posting a video every 6 weeks came is that there was already a rule only for official parkour clubs that said "Inactivity - if a club is inactive for more than six weeks the club will lose the paint." and didn't describe what is considered as "inactivity". We understood it causes loss of quality amongst other issues so this rule about posting a video every 6 weeks was already planned to be removed and replaced by a better and improved rule and is now awaiting approval before it's published. And the rule (for official parkour clubs) about posting a video that has at least 8 tricks was already removed on 15 November 2021. However (even though it's not stated in the Parkour Club Rules; it should get stated there soon), we still use it for giving parkour club support supplies, any video that doesn't contain 8 tricks or is not 2 minutes long doesn't get the 1500 supplies (because I don't think we should be giving 1500 supplies to a video that doesn't even contain 8 tricks or isn't even 2 minutes long). It is to be noted that parkour clubs are not required to only post a video that has 8 tricks or is at least minutes long (though I understand they would prefer to stick to this range), these are only minimum requirements. Short parkour montages with less creative, low-quality tricks were already happening even before these rules (posting a video every 6 weeks and a video should contain at least 8 tricks or should be at least 2 minutes long) came, and it is also due to other factors such as the previous HTML5 physics and loss of motivation. "It's like a gold medal for a team that has made a great and special contribution to the parkour community." sounds great but there are issues. It should be noted that if there were almost no problems with that system, we probably wouldn't have tried to get a better system and changed how an official parkour club is chosen. There were problems with that system in the past. A medal is something you award and do NOT take back, unless the receiver of the medal decides to give it back or is a violator (of rules, for example). If we go by that, official parkour clubs should be allowed to keep their official status and paint as long as they wish, even if it is 10 years or more, and even after they are closed, until they wish to return or give the official status up. But did this ever happen? No. Why not? Because it was not the way to go. We eventually could end up having multiple parkour clubs that deserve official status as a "gold medal" and the result will be a loss of value for both the official status and official parkour club paint. So to avoid that, you would limit how many official parkour clubs are there, for example 3 official parkour clubs, and not give it to other parkour clubs that also happen to deserve the official status later, until the existing 3 official parkour clubs return or give up their official status. And to avoid that, you would say it is a "gold medal" but we take it back once the official parkour club closes and they have to earn it back if they re-open. This, to be honest, simply doesn't make sense to me and doesn't even appear to be ethical and I do not think it was well thought of. And each official parkour club should better get their own paint, yep, but the idea of giving a "different colour" version of Phoenix/Aero isn't the best solution. Reason? Well, there are reasons, in the plural. 1) Tanki never does that. 2) Suppose there is a club X with Phoenix and you give a red coloured Phoenix to a new official parkour club A, and then later purple coloured Phoenix to a new official parkour club B. And then the club X loses Phoenix, and you give the original Phoenix to a new official parkour club C. Do you think this would be fair to the other clubs A and B? Won't they feel they want the original Phoenix and their coloured version doesn't matter much and it's just a modification after all? Well, these are just some reasons. People tend to like solutions for the present and forget the consequences of the future. So what could be done? Well, I have got some ideas (these are not confirmed and may not get implemented). The goals (to mention some, in brief): preserve the value (while creating healthy competition and not unfairly demotivating any parkour club) of 1) official status 2) official parkour club paints (Phoenix and Aero, for example). The solutions (ideas): Only the best parkour club gets the official status. This club should also meet "Requirements for Official Status". Implement a limit on how many official parkour clubs there are in the EN locale. The limit should be strict. The limit should be 1. The limit should be 1 because "best" means "of the most excellent or desirable type or quality" or "top", and that means there can only be 1 "best" parkour club. Only give the "Phoenix" paint for official parkour clubs of the EN locale. A unique paint should be made and given for the members of all eligible clubs receiving the Parkour Club Support. Parkour Club Support should have 3 levels. Level 3: Elite - x1500 of each parkour club support supply per valid video, x2 parkour club spectator accounts, x1 unique paint for each member. Level 2: Standard - x1000 of each parkour club support supply per valid video, x2 parkour club spectator accounts. Level 1: Starter - x500 of each parkour club support supply per valid video, x1 parkour club spectator account. I'm still giving more thought to these ideas/solutions and this whole matter in general.

    Wohoo, let's go! I love this update already. Everything, especially the new Tanki logo and introduction of stickers, sounds great, they all look slick and cool and I like them. Oh and didn't know Tanki has a Telegram channel, nice.

    Parkour Announcements

    A very happy and good news to all parkour lovers! After quite a long time, the physics of the current version (the new HTML5) of Tanki Online were fixed for parkour yesterday, 11 February 2022! ? ? ? ? More information about it can be found from 5:52 to 7:14 in Tanki's v-log 330. And now that the developers have fixed the physics for parkour, you may want to check some videos posted by our community's parkour clubs in 2021 for whatever reason, find them all here: https://en.tankiforum.com/topic/394641-all-our-parkour-videos-of-2021-in-one-topic/. Happy parkouring! ?
