You got some good points, but I think you need to understand the nature and the popularity of Tanki Online parkour in general. Sure some players may parkour because they love parkour, but the majority of the players are not like that. Would you rather give priority to the majority or the minority? Do you really believe that parkour would become a main thing of the game and remain as such for a long time without any support from Tanki or paints? And I don't think the "deadline" is a major factor here, because the "deadline" is so generous. Don't believe me? Well, then read the rules of the Parkour Rules that I have quoted below: "4.9.2. YouTube Channel Activity: Supported Clubs must keep at least one of their YouTube channels active by publishing at least 1 new video every 12 weeks on the channel. The video can be anything related to Parkour and of any length. The video is considered "new" as long as it is not a video published by the Club before, even if it contains Parkour tricks from any of their previously published videos. Videos are considered published only if their visibility is "public". If a Club violates this rule 2 times in a row, it will be removed from the Parkour Club Support Program at the Administration's discretion." "5.5.2. YouTube Channel Activity: Official Clubs must keep at least one of their YouTube channels active by publishing at least 1 new video every 12 weeks on it. The video can be anything related to Parkour and of any length. The video is considered "new" as long as it is not a video published by the Club before, even if it contains Parkour tricks from any of their previously published videos. Videos are considered published only if their visibility is "public". If a Club violates this rule 2 times in a row, it will be removed from the Official Parkour Club Progam at the Administration's discretion."

The Official Parkour Club Program Application was just opened! ? The application will be open for 1 week. In other words, the application will be closed on 21 January 2024 after the 1 week duration is over. Best of luck to all applicants!

The Parkour Rules was just updated. The following change was made:

[FTL] FeatherLike and [TFP] The Flying Parkourists received the Onyx paint yesterday, 13 January 2024, for being in the Gold level of the Parkour Club Support Program! Congratulations to them! ? ? ?

Nice video tbh, I really like the start and some of the Parkour tricks! ?

I just assigned the following Support Levels to the following Supported Parkour Clubs: The Gold level to [FTL] FeatherLike and [TFP] The Flying Parkourists The Silver level to [FoG] Flight of Gravity Support Levels are assigned solely based on the total number of videos (only videos that are related to Parkour and are at least 1 minute long) each Supported Parkour Club has on their YouTube channel(s). Congratulations to them! ?

[FTL] FeatherLike, [TFP] The Flying Parkourists, and [FoG] Flight of Gravity were just accepted into the Parkour Club Support Program and hence they just became Supported Parkour Clubs! Huge congratulations to them! ? ?

Massive congratulations to all the Best Helpers of 2023! ? ? ?

Happy holidays! ?

This is a good idea (and an idea that I think came to my mind before), but I don't think it can be a solution as I think more than 1 person can verify and link a YouTube channel to their Discord account using a Brand Account. Anyway, I deleted the question about first name and the question about last name from the Parkour Club Support Program Application some days ago, thank you for sharing your idea though. Never stop sharing ideas!

Nah, I'm simply not sure if I should answer that question as I'm genuinely worried that you may not like whatever my answer to it will be and that answering it may result in unnecessary and irrelevant discussions here

I just deleted the question about first name and the question about last name from the Parkour Club Support Program Application, because it was decided to do so

The Parkour Rules was just updated. Some of the changes that were made are as follows:

Hmm, I think that will complicate the procedure unnecessarily, do you have any other ideas? If you're worried about your real name becoming publicly known, then do know that it is written in the Parkour Club Support Program Application that your application and the information you enter in your application are meant to be private and accessible to the Parkour Administration of Tanki Online

The main reason why the Parkour Club Support Program Application is asking for real names is to avoid impersonation as the application can not be connected/linked to anyone's Tanki Online account. I understand your concern, but I cannot remove questions about real names from the application because of the aforementioned reason

The Parkour Club Support Program Application was just opened! ? There is currently no plan to close the application after some time. Good luck to all applicants!

The Parkour Club Support Program Application will be opened tomorrow, 14 December 2023. Get ready to apply!

Parkour Club closed upon request. Thank you so much for all that you guys did! ?

I'm not exactly sure who are the "We" here, but because you guys are not aware of the "facets" is why I explained about my Parkour Clubs Manager and curator positions. You can contact the Head Administration to know whether the "beliefs" are true or false Writing rules can not just be a complicated matter, but a very complicated matter. Making the Parkour Rules was more than a very complicated matter for me, because of multiple reasons, for example, there was a lot to think about, especially about many fundamental things. And I did not just write rules, I went way beyond my comfort zone and prepared two programs: the Parkour Club Support Program, and the Official Parkour Club Program. I spent a lot of effort on both small and big details. As you may have noticed, the Parkour Rules, the Parkour Club Support Program, and the Official Parkour Club Program are nothing like the parkour community of Tanki Online has ever seen or had. And don't forget real life, I was going through an incredibly tough time in real life, and I also had a lot to do in real life. I think I can tell that writing rules surely does consume all of your time, at least mentally if not physically, and a Parkour Clubs Manager would have no remaining time to occupy in organizing events for the parkour community in any way or manner. Not all "Managers" oversee other people. I never had, and I still don't have, any authority to put together a team of people to do the physical organizing work for any parkour event, and simply oversee them completing it, but it's not like I never tried to organize parkour contests or events, check how I expressed my interest to organize parkour contests in this forum post I'm sorry if it was very offensive, I did not mean to offend anyone, but I personally don't think it was "very offensive" and "immature" because 1) I don't think I even classified anything as weird, and 2) classifying anything as "weird" isn't "very offensive" and "immature". I wasn't even being "entirely close-minded", I didn't even think that only I am correct, and I did not even shut down any opposing opinions, I was simply responding to opinions or feedback on a forum where doing so is acceptable. Ever heard of responding to feedback? I didn't even tell that you all are wrong I never said that it is invalid to think otherwise. There was no rule being enforced that said that not obeying "deadlines" would result in consequences, that's why those official parkour clubs didn't receive any consequences from me for that. I don't think repeat offenders were allowed to continually push the boundaries of the rules

Parkour Club closed upon request. Thank you very much for everything you guys did! ?

Seems like you made this post just because you had to write something negatively lol

The Parkour Rules became effective on 7 December 2023 (UTC). To all the Parkour Clubs that are still not in compliance with the Parkour Rules, please comply with the Parkour Rules within 24 hours from now, otherwise necessary action(s) may be taken

It wasn't perfect. This is the problem, you think what you did was perfect even though it wasn't actually perfect. Did you realize that keeping the rules at a minimum rather than keeping them at the level that they should be is a reason, if not THE reason, for multiple issues that the parkour community faced? Oh and, not everyone got club support as soon as it seemed right. Maybe everything was simple, but everything wasn't good, you claiming everything was good is just weird I must correct you, club leaders and members aren't the ones deciding what actually happens, maybe it was like that in the past, but not now. And, just because some admins did nothing about a rule violation or did not enforce a rule doesn't mean I will do the same. No one is forced to apply for the Official Parkour Club Program. None of the rules and requirements are ridiculous or so ridiculous, all of them were made with reasoning. You can write a parody about anything, even about any great thing in the world, because you were able to write a parody about something doesn't mean it is so ridiculous
