And by the way. Everybody's entries look amazing! Looks like there is already some tough competition so far. ;) Some people are gifted with words :)

Lol. Good one. :P

Good update. :)

Does it still work?

I actually want people to play wasp and hornet more. It is easier to kill them.

So I heard you want to be a developer? I have been a senior developer for Tanki for several years now, as one of the original founders from the very beginning. I have been through it all. I have been through the highs and the lows, the suffering and the glory. I know you think my life is all fun and games, but I tell you the truth, a developer sacrifices so much. I sacrificed so much. You would never understand. Understand what sacrifices my own father went through, that day when I sat him down, the strained look upon his leathery face as I whispered I was abandoning my degree in law to make a computer game, a computer game where I had no idea if it would sell. Understand what sacrifices my own wife went through, her grim face of determination, as she brushes a stray hair out of her squinting face, head nodding off, trying her best to ignore the peeling wallpaper in our humble home as she stays loyally waiting for me to arrive home, every night, just so I could be greeted with a kiss when I step through the door. Understand what sacrifices my own son went through, his entire life, raised by a father who spends his day making a game to bring joy to children around the world, but doesn't even have time to bring joy to his own son, who’s innocent childhood is now gone, forever. Understand what sacrifices my own daughter went through, her teenage adolescence, yearning for a strong, father figure in her life as she battles the harsh bullying at school. But all she has for comfort is the long nights, and the dim, flickering lightbulb casting dark, wavering shadows across her unfinished homework. Understand what sacrifices my own mother went through, her sunken cheeks masking her sunken heart, as she gives up meals just so she could write a tearstained check, afraid of the failure her son is heading towards. Understand what sacrifices I had to go through, staring back into the laughing faces of my assumed “friends”, wiping away the spittle off my face, telling how terrible the idea would be, and me, staring at their retreating backsides, determined to prove them wrong. You spend happy hours playing the game I developed, but you never really know what I surrendered to get you to this point. You sit there on your computer screen, so caught up in the game, complaining about gameplay, crying about hackers, and screaming for 50% off discounts, while I wait, wistfully wasting away, reflecting on all the opportunities I have lost, sacrifices I have witnessed. You would never understand; understand what it felt when I became a developer, to see my game thrive and grow into a beautiful community. And I would never trade that for anything in the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Total Words: 479 Username: My_Tiger_Psy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you kirby for this wonderful contest! I really enjoyed writing this piece. :) I am a bit worried, as I have not followed any of the writing structures, and I hope I still stayed in the boundaries. :/ However, I do hope I have captured, a creative and purposeful writing piece, about the difficulties and sacrifices of developers. Thank you again, - My Tiger Psy P.S. I noticed that you stated that submissions end on March 23rd. Since you didn't clarify what timezone, I live in PST, so it is Sunday, the 22nd, 6:10PM. I hope this still can qualify :)

This is obviously a lie. :P

Great job everyone!

This was AMAZING! I loved the description of Storm at the end. :)

But how in the world is this related to tanki? o.O

Great job man.

Very nice, I love isida. I have isida m2, so if you want a teammate who heals, add me on tanki: My_Tiger_Psy

Which is better? Twins or Vulcan?

So funny ahaha! Great job guys!

But extremely solid review. Good job

I still think Twins is better than Vulcan. Anybody disagree?

Amazing work! So much detail. Must have taken 12 hours. :P

This is amazing! I personally love Isida! I have isida m2 and I am a second liuetennant. I microupgraded the isida m2 a bit, so if you want a healing friend, add me on Tanki. :) My_Tiger_Psy

In close range, I want to know who has more damage. Vulcan? Or Twins?
