eheheh the ban hammer is ready to strike. :ph34r: I believe Zen has an announcement about a training war. Waiting for details from him, but just a heads-up.

Hmm, wasn't aware that you had the power to tell me to hand out mini-strikes :unsure:. Last I checked, you weren't even in the clan (although hopefully that'll change soon. Maybe? heh). I don't condone rule-breaking, but I also don't like non-members giving orders to my members. One of my pet peeves. If you do have a complaint about the members, talk to me about it immediately, don't go threatening them with mini-strikes that you can't give. Thanks :) It's been a long week....

The first person to give me a good sum-up on all the things that happened in the past week will get a cookie and my eternal thanks. :3 and for all you wondering about my absence (which I'm sure you are), I did not pull a DOS. All I did was go to camp for a week.

A lil' late, but definitely accepted. I owe lotsa my 250 contest kills to her; while she was busy capping flags and actually contributing to the team, I sat and spawn-killed :lol:. ehehehehe #TankiLogic LoA accepted. Good luck with your science m8. :) Cause I'm Gnat B). #MultLyfe My point of view (not at the exact time sadly ;() Queen with her smexy Liquid Metal paint :wub:. And Parass with his hot Inferno obviously heh. Oh yeah, about that, remember the... Official HD training. Date: Every Friday Time: 2:30 pm (0 UTC) till 3:30 pm (0 UTC) (4 rounds will be played) Format: Medium (One turret of its kind per team; 1/2 medium hull maximum, rest light hulls; Black/Dragon/Magma paint; protection allowed; no Isidas) Rank: - lowest rank possible (exceptions may be made depending on who's online) Map: eSports Map (Red Alert, Kungur, Tribute, Parma, Barda, Forest, Iran, Solikamsk, and Osa) Theme: Summer Anyone who is on-call during the training will receive 15 leaderboard points. Coming up tomorrow y'all; try to make it. Planning to have it in Kungur. Just fyi, in the absence of Zen, I'm gonna be gno-chill gnat and I'll hand out warnings and mini-warnings to people without hesitation. Keep that in mind.... ^_^

<3333 pro review. Better than mine hands down.

I accept you, you seem good :). Bes was declined fair and square. He could re-apply in the future perhaps, but at the moment I'm not letting him in. Doesn't mean he can't still post here and be our friends though obviously ^_^ well some people don't have the privilege of going snorkelling at some fancy place during holidays. Instead they have to sit at home while their mom is in America having fun with the rest of the fam and their dad is too busy to do much. All they have is a computer and internet.... ;____________________; On the bright side, I did get caught up on my reading! Anywayyys, in other news, I was in this really intense battle and well.... Finished my finish 1st mission which is good I guess.... I... I didn't even want a rankup party anyways really. *sniff* It's all right ;( Edit: Oh darn, Kaiser... my failed rankup kinda pales in comparison with that. That really sucks. :wacko:

Hai all ^_^ Had a couple of GGs today. XXXMAJORANNOUNCEMENTXXX Mk y'all, let's face it. Our organisation in the Noise CTF was awful. That's kinda to be expected cause we didn't have any strategies and we've never played in Noise as a clan before. We shouldn't have been that bad though. So here's my decision. Next official training we're gonna try to be on call. I'll talk over the details with the high people, but probably we're gonna have discord calls. Maybe have two separate chats for each team. ANYONE WHO IS ON-CALL DURING THE TRAINING WILL RECEIVE POINTS ON THE LEADERBOARD. I was thinking 10 points, but I might bump that up actually. I might not be actually on-call because my internet connection is bad (ask anyone who tried to have a conversation with me last time we called... <_<) and my computer will lag, but I'll try.

My reaction when I saw you posted another article :P. Very well-done piece m8. ^_^ I've tried the same thing on my alt, Nathaniei. Only have like 3-4 MUs though :/. Ain't nobody got time to play on two accounts.

Chelsea noob team.

Nickname: KillerGnat Favorite Player(s): Kaka (he used to be good, ok), Gianluigi Buffon, Gianluigi Donnarumma (credits to Google for the spelling heh), Thomas Müller, Xabi Alonso, Philip Lahm. Favorite Club(s): Juventus, Bayern. Don't really have a fav EPL club, but I do like Spurs, LIverpool, Everton, and Arsenal (yes, I know that's a weird set of clubs seeing as Spurs/Arsenal and Pool/Everton are rivals, but I mostly like them cause they don't spend millions of dollars on players like Man U, Man City, and Chelsea).

YAS #BestArticleOfAWC2017 thanks for finally posting your thoughts here. Gives a new, wiser perspective on a lot of things. ^_^

Thanks for the bday wishes everyone ^_^. Another year, another round of possibilities, failures, successes. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=356979 oh, and check this out please :3

Whoops, I thought I put italics in for quotation marks.... I think the readability is enhanced much more when you don't have little jots cluttering up the page. But it's not as bad as I expected it to look B). and thanks, Yiper :wub:. Nah, honestly it could be just that Yiper likes my style better than yours. Nothing much in that besides personal preference. and let's be real, who even cares about what Yiper thinks anyways pfffft

Zero Supply Reviewed There are probably about ten people writing a review on the Zero Supply for either the newspaper or the AWC, so I've decided to write this to beat the rush which will allow me to accuse them all of plagiarism when they put out their pieces ehehehehehee >:-) The Zero Supply was a temporary feature added to the game for the duration of the May Holiday celebrations. Activating it resulted in all five of your supplies being used. That's Repair Kit, Double Armour, Double Damage, Speed Boost, and Mine triggered all at once. Additionally, any teammates in the general vicinity would receive the same bonus. Now, you may be thinking "Darn, Tanki is promoting the use of supplies yet again. When will they ever learn that drugs cause extreme imbalance? Bad, bad Tanki >:[." This argument seems valid -- drugs imbalance the game, therefore more drugs = more imbalance, riiiight? No. The system behind the 0 supply was brilliant. Unlike the other supplies that can be bought in the shop or obtained from missions, access to the 0 Supply depended on your skill level. The more you contributed to your team, the higher your percentage rose, until finally, at 100%, you were ready to wreak havoc. So, now that we've realised what an amazing addition this was to Tanki, let's get a little deeper. Effects on Gamemodes CTF The tactics of CTF were completely altered by the supply's introduction. Teams began using more teamwork in timing their attacks; coordinating their moves to coincide with the supply's cooldown time. Typing 100 in the chat would cause your tank to be mobbed by eager teammates hoping for full supplies. After receiving the bonus, a wave of fully drugged tanks would descend on their helpless opponents. Spawnkill heaven. CP 0 Supply arguably affected CP more than any other gamemode. Groups of players would migrate from point to point, supply indicators glowing with the beautiful brown red and yellow of a fully activated tank, leaving the smoking shells of their enemy hulls in their wake. Battles could be turned around in the last few minutes with just one use of the 0 supply. TDM I'm just gonna pretend like I've played lots of TDMs over the course of the celebration and am qualified to write a paragraph on it, even though realistically, no one ever plays TDMs unless forced by a mission. TDMs were, well... still boring. The only gamemode 0 Supply was unable to change. I pity the tankers who had TDM missions during the May festivities. While they wasted their time multing in TDMs, the rest of us were rocking in CTF, CP, and... DM Activating the supply next to any other tankers will not give them full drugs, even if you've teamed up with them. I find it necessary to mention that after a couple of Warrant Officers allied and tried to help each other out. After about two minutes of coordination in which they spent spamming the chat with their whereabouts, they finally realised that the effects don't transfer to your opponents in DM. Imagine that. Effects on le Goldies Lots and lots of mines. After each siren, two to three 0 Supplies would be activated, dropping bunches of mines around the drop zone. That's an advantage when your teammates activate it, but when the drop point is in enemy territory, it was a nightmare manoeuvring your tank through the minefield. Gold catching didn't change all that much aside from that. Basically, Dictators still ruled. Negative Aspects Nothing is perfect. Especially when it comes to Tanki updates. Despite the mostly positive impact on the game, the 0 supply had its downsides. Game imbalance In CTFs, the first team to activate a zero supply would routinely win. A well-organised team could easily capture enough flags to gain the upper hand and then sit back for the rest of the game. This became increasingly annoying as the battle funds climbed up to double the usual amount. Although possible, takeovers required a vast amount of drugs which often made them impractical. They restarted your cooldowns. This aspect was more annoying for the tankers already used to drugging. Upon using the supply, all your cooldown times were reset, preventing you from using any repair kits for another minute or so. One advantage this brought, however, was the effect it had on number-happy tankers who were unable to spam the 1 key right after pressing shift. Final verdict A M A Z I N G Very entertaining; added a new dynamic to the gamemodes excluding TDM, and made team-based matches more about teamwork and less about how many drugs could be used. An outstanding success from Tanki, which is often quite rare these days.

Wow m8, that's amazing. You've managed to put down your thoughts so succinctly on a complicated issue; wish I could do that. Mind if I share that with some RL friends?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: A brilliant attempt at satire right there

Heeeeeee's baaaaaack!

Apologies m8. Some of the clan members have been unnecessarily harsh to you. Reflects badly on our name, ik, but most people here are pretty great if you take the time to make their acquaintance :). Add me in-game, I'd be happy to play with you a bit. ez d3s hhhhhhhhhh. noob kids rekt Here's your rank, too :3. RIP indeed ;__;. Maybe we can get to 2000 by next year at least. I've said before that I'll accept basically any former TM member, and I don't see anything wrong with his app. Welcome, Darky! Alright guys, I think we've kinda strayed from our happy roots. Certain people are pretty savage to newbies who come here. Let's try to keep it happy. Keep in mind that you were nugs once too. Instead of ignoring them, try to help 'em out :). That shouldn't be too hard.

Mhmm, I see, although I don't exactly think most are incorrect. Admittedly about half of them aren't grammatical mistakes and were just suggestions on how to make the writing flow better in my opinion. The omitted apostrophes, however, are technically grammatical mistakes. As are the repeated words.

First off, brilliant article. Probably my favourite of the issue so far :) besides the contests. I think you may want to go through and proofread it again though. I caught quite a few mistakes. The word “lets” is a contraction for "let us", and as such it requires an apostrophe. "where everything from records to new secrets were found” I think that should be "was found". “Who would've thought that this supply was coming, and then they would just drop some Golds to identify the drop zones of some maps.” I found this hard to understand… it’s leaning towards being a question at first and then you change it mid-way through. "totaling somewhere around a good fifty to sixty" Totalling is spelled with two l's “The record for the worlds biggest Save The Gold” world’s needs an apostrophe signalling possession. “arising of the new provocation rules” Arising from? I think that would fit better. “so that it doesn't gets subjected to accidental dropping” get subjected* “If its a DM or a TDM battle” it is* apostrophe needed. “a STG” maybe change that to “an STG” but that’s debatable. “being inspired from him/her” inspired by*? "the quickly the event will be over” the more quickly “You can use your your supplies to the extent” Delete one “your” “the bigger the the hull” delete one “the” “To rise it up even farther” raise it* further* Those were the major ones I caught. There are also a few small mistakes with comma placing, but honestly, that doesn't matter so much. Also I don't think "everyday" is a word, but I could be mistaken. I'd change it to "every day" just in case though. ^_^ Again, I'm not criticising the content of your article. I think it's a superb piece on one of Tanki's greatest updates of last year. Please don't get offended; I was just pointing out grammatical errors. No hate, m8. :)

Yiper's story (font changed from the overused Trebuchet to Arial heh). I thought the story would be pretty dull if I continued with the battle-field setting so I changed things around a bit. :ph34r: A Second Chance Edit: oh yeah, 715 words. Was too lazy to write more; no kill.
