*facepalm* Can we all stop talking about that already :P? I repent, ok? It was in a moment of madness, I swear. I...I didn't know. You have to believe me. Music is fine, even if I don't actually listen to it when I play. You're wrong, those were walruses. They were coming to request that part of my family move off of them onto some other animals. We refused of course. :rolleyes:

Types Of People In TO. #2 [Written by tankers for tankers + A contest for the best writer.
KillerGnat replied to Rayyan in Archive
At this point, I could make a few rebuttals to this statement, by saying something about judgmentalists, or even better, judgmentalist reporters. But because I know that that will only cause a flame war, and also because you're usually a good guy, I'll refrain from that. I can't help but say a few thing, though: 1. Don't judge a book by it's cover. You, and some of your reporter colleagues, seem to think that other writers are in some way inferior to normal people. Because they aren't "real" reporters, they obviously don't display the quality that it takes to become one. Did you ever stop to think that we don't wanna be reporters? I'm speaking for myself when I say this, but I wouldn't actually take the reporter job if you gave it to me. When I first started Tanki, I wanted nothing more than to become a reporter, but now, after a few months into the game, I don't think I'd want to. I don't have enough time for it, and any time I do have, I'd rather spend it actually helping Tanki (not saying reporters don't help, but they don't help as much as mods or Wiki editors imo). Also, you said that we "want to acquire up-votes and attention." This isn't true at all. If I wanted up-votes, I'd write a topic about greedy devs, bad updates, or why drugs are bad. Believe me, that would get me A LOT of likes. So you said that we are attention seekers? Seriously, if I was seeking attention, I wouldn't be playing Tanki, ok? Simple as that. 2. Don't go down the path of cynicism. One of the newsmen (not naming names), is often like this. I have never heard him say anything nice about a topic. His criticism is most often very unconstructive (<---- new word :P), and helps about as much as Dilsha's "Nice" posts. Don't automatically think that when someone makes a topic, they are just wanting up-votes. This most often isn't true, and only people who are naturally suspicious will think that. 3. Those who actually matter. What? Who's to tell what people actually matter? In my opinion, the entire community matters, and very few are above the rest. What makes one person matter more isn't how many staff jobs they have, or whether or not their post count is over 1000. Just because someone is a reporter, doesn't mean that they should matter more than ordinary people. Reporters get their post by writing, not by experience or karma. They shouldn't necessarily, be treated like kings. Mods and admins, on the other hand, should matter more. People like Issho, Ostrica, Shar0n, Lham, FBI, and DS, are truly heroes of Tanki, for sticking at their jobs so long, and helping the entire game. At this point, my rant has ended. Remember next time though, you're a reporter now. Don't go around making false assumptions, and saying untrue things, it'll give the entire team a bad name. Btw, I think IYATO is "If you are the one" (Ty Google :P) -
Knits, I forgot to edit that. Now I look like a stupido when I say "I have to see them first." Keep in mind that Per sent the PM before the sales, so of course I couldn't give my reaction.

^Kinda true. Sorry for my short posts today, I'm kinda pushed for time right now. I think the CIA are finally closing in :ph34r:.
-
So sorry, I nub, ok? You and richardlord will be added shortly. Did.
-
Ty Per. Oh my! People are trying to make money. How dare they. They must be exterminated before they get rich. If they make something themselves it should be taken away and given to the poor people who have no life.

Shall I compare thee to a summer day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.... ^Shakespeare skills, ok? He was a great poet (you may disagree if you want, but I'll keep my nug opinion till the end).

You're no Shakespeare when it comes to poems, but I understand that this is really hard. I am certainly not a poet, and therefore, will not criticize you.

[Issue 46] The Adventures of a Nublet: A Compleat Guide to Forum Trolling
KillerGnat replied to Night-Sisters in Newspaper Archive
Let's do a quick review now. It's been a few days since this article came out, and there's already been a lot of feedback. I've counted four goodbye topics, five spoiler trolls (not counting the ones on this topic), and many annoying color posts. Congratulations, The-Nublet, you've ruined the forum :P. I'm a noob at spoiler trolling, k? I don't really know how to do it. -
You say some profound things, Dragon. The only thing I'd use cable for is watching soccer games. Other than that, it would be a waste of money. There are so many other things you can waste your time doing. EG: Tanki. Edit: Sly, join the ban group. My I be the first to welcome you :D.
-
Translation: I disagree with you, therefore, your writing skills are bad. Edit: I mean no disrespect when I say that.
-
It's not the most useless. That goes to Danthekiller1's "didn't read" GIFs. He wastes five minutes getting the GIF, in which time he could've read the article.
-
Noob, noob! I saw that uncapitalized name!
-
*gasp* Copycat noob! JK, it was way more thought out than my one.
-
Seriously, why do you have to be so mean? Maybe he didn't see your post. I know I didn't.
-
On macs, you press command+shift+3 or 4. 3 If you wanna take a pic of the whole screen, and 4 to take a pic of part of it.
-
Your constructive criticism is very helpful I'm sure :P. I liked it, falcosenna was one of the best forum mods back in the day.
-
Correcting grammar, of correcting grammar, of corrected grammar :o. Shall we continue this? :P
-
My mind froze when I saw the word "cookies."
-
Oh my goodness! Did you really just say nu and teh? Das grammar nazis have arrived. Enough of your foolish ways. Die foul little words, die. (Yes, I realize that's not technically grammar) Believe it or not, I didn't quote your post to bash your writing, that was just a bonus ;). I'd just like to welcome you back, as I haven't seen you on very often these last few weeks :).
-
*sniff* I'm so happy that I'm a part of this. I'd like to thank all the ignorant reporters, who's appalling grammar made this possible. I obviously know so much more than them, it's not like most of them are much older than me, and a have had much more experience in life, and.... Oh wait. I'd like a second part, btw.
-
Nice article, but I agree with Flexoo, it could have been more detailed. Ok, fyi, OUFA isn't noob. He may not be the best player out there, but he is talented. And please remember what the word "noob" means, an inexperienced player (that definition isn't perfect, but it's close enough), and as far as I know, he's been on Tanki for quite a while. I think he's overrated too, though.
-
+100. No offense meant to Werty when I say that.
-
Dilsharox's new recruits? Jk GOOD LUCK (I did it in caps, beat that :P)
