@Fresh, you have been asked several times, in varying degrees of obviousness. Please leave this topic alone. You say you're "trying to help", but frankly, if we wanted help, we would ask for it. Even further, no one really gives a flip if the clan is "full of noobs" or filled with players who use M1s. It's a game, damn it, and we don't need M3s and M4s to play hard and have fun. This isn't getting angry, before you just pull that trash again. It's called me getting quite annoyed at your immaturity and uselessness. If you decide to just keep harassing more, don't be surprised when an eSports moderator steps in. I've been in contact with several. To the clan, please stop replying to people like this over and over. Thank you Shresth for being mature about it, and I did enjoy your sass Gnat, but it just gives no-lifers even more reason to sit around spamming our topic. I realize you all have good intentions in mind and yadda yadda, but it just is rubbing salt in the wound. Even if Fresh or someone else responds to this post, I do not want to see any of you replying to this post or any further ones that may have been cause by it. Thanks. :)

Approved So I didn't actually have to make any edits on this, so I just want to thank you real quick for taking the time to write a high quality article. It's always refreshing to not have to fix a ton of things. :ph34r: Anyways, onto my comments. 1). I love that song, I've had it in my playlist for a while. Glad you included it; it really complements your piece thematically. 2). I really liked your transition from the scientific uniqueness into the more pathos-oriented discussion. It worked out well and definitely made the article much more noteworthy. Don't really have much with critiques because frankly, some articles are best left as is. Excellent work. ;)

Thanks for reminding everyone Happshot, I do appreciate it since I can't be on reminding everyone 24/7. :P So yes everyone, please remember to keep the spamming a little bit low. Well, considering that your rank is on the lower end as DragonOfTheMist pointed out, I recommend you look for a clan elsewhere. A clan with a lower average rank would doubtless suit you better since more participation in battles as a clan and etc. DoS, I don't know how much anyone in the Crested group, Zenith, or Gnat have discussed with you, and you (from what I've heard) are unable to use Skype as of right now, so we'll have to talk to you via PM. We can pull that together soon, but if you've already been filled in about what has happened for the past while, then just let us know.

Hey, relax. She's just trying to be an instigator and trying to prove something that isn't worth proving. No reason to get overly worked up. Well, thanks for wishing us good luck and all, but honestly no one cares who you've beaten in Xp/Bp lol. F1ASC0, you're a man after my own heart with that response. :P Anyways, good job everyone in keeping the spamcount pretty low and all. I realize this post itself that I'm making isn't strictly necessary, so sure call me hypocritical and all, but I just felt like congratulating you all. :D I've been trying to ease up on the moderation-y stuff in here since well, I don't really like to be the bad guy. Finally I'm getting to watching the livestream that Cedric did a few days ago; it's physically hurting me to watch. Someone send an ambulance to drakonville ASAP. :ph34r:

Please be patient. has been busy lately, as have the rest of leadership, so it's taking some time to process the applications. I apologize for the wait, but I assure you that we will get to your application in due time and respond to you about it. @Silvercougar, I wish you the best of luck in whichever clan you choose to join.

Nice. Swash move out of the way lol, but I really have to agree with the post right above mine.

People, please chill on the "Happy Birthday" posts. I don't mean to be a spoilsport or whatever, and I do hope you have a very happy birthday Rish, but we don't need four posts saying the exact same thing. If you want to wish him a happy birthday, please just click the "like" button for one of the other several happy birthday posts. Thank you. -_-

Very well. @ddubs1, you may fill out an application as requested on the main page if you wish. Well, here's some not-so-low-key advertising. I finally got off my butt and put "The Musings of the Living" out in to the Amateur Writing section. It's a collection containing most of the little reflection pieces that I wrote, several of which were posted here before or put as my Skype status. You can take a look at it here if you are interested.

.... You know, if you were interested in joining, perhaps you should have actually read the front page. Currently applications are invite-only, so unless someone in the clan knows you personally and is willing to vouch for you, you're out of luck. You could maybe friend a few of our members and then try to get them to invite you in. Although even after that your acceptance is not guaranteed. Pretty much, come back with an invite from someone from our clan and an actual application.

The Musings of the Living __________________________________________________________________________________________ Take a look at the sky. Do you remember watching shapes in the clouds on the bright summer days? Do you remember the days when you looked up at the stars scattered across the night sky and pondered existence, the meaning of life, and the vastness of the universe? These thoughts are what make us truly alive. I’ve walked across hundreds of bridges, on thousands of sidewalks, and past millions of people. We’ve searched within nature, others, and ourselves when we think. Take a look at the world. There are billions of people all thinking, all part of one awe-inspiring painting. There is pain and sorrow yet always more than that in this world. There is hope and love too. This is a message from the one who places his words in my mouth, and who saved my life: “I love you more than the sun, moon, and stars that my own hands formed in the sky. I am yours, and you are mine; and have no fear. I will always be by your side.” - - - - - - - The following collection of pieces are various reflective pieces that I've used as my Skype status, or just that I was inspired to write at some point. A few of these may be familiar to you, and one of them has actually been posted to AWC in the past. One piece I actually entered from an old AWC contest. They will be presented in chronological order of when I wrote them. I will warn you however: if you are offended by mentions of religion, then this is not for you. I express my beliefs many times in this collection. And so with no further adieu, I present to you the musings of the living. __________________________________________________________________________________________ I've opted to continue The Musings of the Living in a Google Document from now on. I'll go ahead and put the link to it below, and you can feel free to comment on any of it here or contact me via Skype (if you have my Skype). I'm doing this to make things easier for me, since Tanki forums isn't really the easiest platform for formatting and writing in. Anyways, here's the link: In the spoiler below is some of the pieces I wrote and put in here already; no reason really to remove them. The ones that ended up as my favorites writing quality-wise are "The Silver Clock" and the "Collision", but these aren't really the most important to me overall. All of these are equally important to me, because they all tell a story about this world, me, and the one who orchestrated it all. I hope you enjoy, or hope that these make you think at the very least. __________________________________________________________________________________________ I will doubtless add on to this if I become inspired to write any further pieces like these. None of these were really "by choice", they just tend to come to me in times of sadness and dramatic music and sleepless nights. These are all based on real experiences, and you have likely noticed some common themes and events and topics between these. Yes, this is me. I have never had thoughts of suicide or self-harm since the day mentioned in "Eternal Grace", and I still don't know what happened to the girl from "Where are you now" or how the girl is who tried to kill herself and caused me to write "Falling Stars". There is so much pain in this world, but remember: There is pain in the night, but joy comes at dawn. You are not alone. __________________________________________________________________________________________

Ahem , you may be banned from the chat or whatever, but that doesn't excuse you to treat the rules any differently in the Happy Dragons page. You do not get to double post, and do not get to make these one-liner posts. We'd appreciate if you could condense these last two posts into a single one, at the very least. This is not a formal warning, since I don't really feel like being the bad cop right now, but my eyes are watching you and others even if I'm not posting. Your issues can be conversed on Skype if you really feel like you need to talk about them more for some unfathomable reason. Just a reminder to everyone, please keep your posts to the point, in single posts and not multiple in a row, and relevant to the full clan and not just to a few people. Thank you.

@Mrbro, , can you two seriously chill on the posting here? This isn't a place for conversations. If you want to just chat and ask questions, you can just PM eachother or whoever you are talking to, and Parass can just use the clan Skype. So please, stop double posting and making all these useless posts on our clanpage. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but I'm a little annoyed that right when we're starting to do well in only having relevant posts, people start posting meaningless junk from both inside and outside the clan. You too Truthteller, but to less of an extent.

Yay for math jokes. :P Anyways, just reminding people not to make as many posts that are directly to a certain player. If you are asking a player a question, please send them a forum PM or just contact them via Skype. It makes things much easier for everyone. And we only need one answer to an application saying that the rank is too low and/or that the clan is invite-only; if the first person said something wrong, a Crested or Talon can just come in and correct the situation. Well, school has finally ended for me! (Well, I technically have two days left, but I'm just doing fun things at school during those days) This means that hopefully I'll be able to play a little more, and probably be a tad more active. I will likely be playing Overwatch much more than Tanki though because I'm planning on getting it, assuming all goes well. For about a week, starting on this Wednesday, I'm going on a vacation. I won't have a computer on me, but I'll still probably try to keep up with what's going on here to some extent via my phone, and I'll be checking Skype very regularly. Just a heads-up about my current status. :ph34r:

Alright, good luck in CC. It's a shame that this happened, and I thank you for initially being fairly mature about the issue that took place. As it stands, I'm very disappointed however that you decided to be petty and make a bunch of spammy posts soon afterwards. We'd appreciate if you'd hide the posts so that we have the clanpage cleaned up a bit. I realize you've had your problems with our clan, and I understand the frustration, but I hope that most of us can stay on at least neutral grounds and be mature about this conflict. Alright, best of luck getting the PC problems resolved! @Shot, I am merely quoting this so that you are tagged (assuming you have your option to tag when quoted activated). Please don't be a nuance and spam our clanpage with trash posting that honestly doesn't need to be done. We'd appreciate if you'd be responsible and hide the posts, and then not do anything similar on our clanpage in the future. As you may or may not know, we are trying to keep the clanpage as a place for only important information, and you are being a disruption. @Sliced and @Shot, you two can contact me if you have some issue with this, and if they aren't cleaned up in five days I will report the posts and personally contact forum moderators that I am in communication with. I assume this is a generous enough time range. This isn't out of wanting to make this an issue, it's just that you two made some seriously spammy posting. I hope you two understand, and I wish you both best of luck.

Accepted of course you nug.

You know, this topic has been up long enough and many people have gotten their say in. At this point it's just becoming a hole for spammers. So I'm going to lock this for now, and it may or may not be unlocked at a later day. Have a good day everyone!

If you have questions, please PM me or another Crested dragon (besides GoldReign, since he's a little newer and might rather avoid the spotlight for a little bit) instead of posting it here. We are all fairly experienced at answering these questions, and it'll help avoid cluttering on the clanpage. Blue-Flame-Dragon, if you wish to apply, you should've actually read our main clan post. It already says how to apply there. I'd decline you anyways since we are being very selective with applicants right now, and since you didn't already know how to apply, it shows that you either aren't willing to look and find what you need, or that you don't actually care enough to find out. Neither are good traits. ben.3713, I'm not sure about why, I'll mention it to Zen and crew. Thank you for letting us know.

[member=deepak1210], if you don't have an invitation from a current Happy Dragon's member upon applying, then we are not accepting into the clan. Right now we are trying to reduce the number of members in the clan, and so we would only even consider accepting in people who are good friends of someone in the clan. Best of luck wherever you end up going now. @TheContractKiller_GT and [member=hi-its-mebachoo_3000], if you have questions or comments, then please contact any of us Crested Dragons or Talons via Skype. If you don't have Skype, then you may contact me or any other Cresteds/Talons with the feedback and we will tell the others. And to answer you Bachoo, Zen is the new leader for now because of some things we are working on for the clan. @Truthteller, thank you for letting us know. In the future though could you contact us via Skype, since it's not really something that needs to be on the clan page? Thanks! @sparkl_awesome, please don't make posts that really don't need to be said. I realize you're trying to help, and appreciate it, but it doesn't help our clan to be responding to people who honestly have no idea what they are doing. @Penguin40 just wanted to say that I agree with you on that. If they don't have an invitation/endorsement from a member, and don't have the "I have read the rules", then they are essentially automatically declined because evidently they didn't read our application requirements at all. :ph34r:

I agree; it seems like it'd be much easier to have a fair game if all supplies were made into a charge-up, and then they could still have the same "smart supplies" system or whatever, but people couldn't spam them like they currently do. All the supplies people have in their garages could be refunded at half price or something I suppose. This really reminds me of "ultimates" in Overwatch. :P Not sure what unique ones would work though.

@F1ASC0, @personia, @Skills.n.Girls, @Assasination-Master: you may be familiar to us, Personia and Skills, and in Fiasco's case even applying to the clan, but know this: Any further of this unnecessary posting that holds no relevant information will be reported to Moderators and dealt with. Skills, please don't be a hypocrite by just going and adding to the spam. Note that no members of our clan were the ones spamming: it isn't something we can really control. Personia, please stop responding to things like this and read the last few pages so that you know what kinds of posts are allowed here now. If you aren't willing to, then don't post here anymore. You can contact us via Skype or PM if you need. Fiasco, stop making these small posts that aren't important. They just are just filling up the clanpage and honestly don't need to exist. Assasination-Master, we'd appreciate if you wouldn't post here in the future considering you enter during a time when we are trying to reduce spam, and then go right ahead and double post with completely useless words. I do not want to see any more of this kind of posting here, and it'd be appreciated if you could remove all of your posts from this clanpage that are after the video that Titanium posted. Thank you. And don't respond to this. If you have some problem with us trying to regulate the posting in our own clan page, then take it up with the moderators who asked us to reduce spam or with myself.

' Both you and your brother are declined, and don't ever touch foot on this clan page again. If you do post here in the future, I will contact the moderators and report the post. After spamming our clanpage like you did, I think this is a fair enough response. Farewell.

Please leave the clan page if you are going to make spammy conversational posts here that aren't relevant to trainings or actually important information. We are currently still trying to reduce unnecessary posting to a bare minimum, and you are just cluttering up the page more. If you need to talk to Kaisdf, or contact these "Old Friends", please to so via PM and those "Old Friends" can contact any of the Crested or Talons with their recommendations. Thank you. Additionally, G-Force is right, if you have no invite, then you are not welcome here. No matter who you are, or how many "Old Friends" you have here, you still need to write an application if you wish to even have a chance at joining. You can't just say "I would like to join this clan" and expect everything to be dandy. Please just be patient, I apologize for the wait, but we have seen all the applications and are considering them. It doesn't accomplish anything to try and make us decide any faster. No, you may not join this clan. Judging by how you missed everything about needing an invitation, and needing to fill out an actual application, you are declined from the clan even if you do get an invite and a proper application. The only way this would be overturned is if someone like Gnat or Zen offered a very persuasive argument of why the heck someone who hasn't bothered to read anything should be let into the clan. Good day, and good luck wherever you go. Just a general note: I'm really pleased with how all of you have been doing on keeping spam low! I realize there are certain people not in the clan who are making posts that are unnecessary clutter, but you all have been doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

If you are intending to try and be part of this clan, you should probably have read the last page or two. We're trying to avoid any posts in this topic except for important announcements and applications, so please don't make "conversation" posts like this any more on this page. We'll get back to you on your application in the next few days probably. Thanks! :)

The Crested Dragon spots will be filled as we find candidates suitable for the roles. As a whole we have generally decided that there is no hurry, and it's better to promote people as we see fitting time-wise than just out of "there's an available position". But we will probably look into filling them soon, although I have no exact time or date.

- Changed the main text body from vividly white to a light grey (much easier on the eyes). - Otherwise was good, great job with the grammar & formatting & spelling Approved :( Giving me the feels
