Lol, right. BTW, the tanker in the banner is @Stratosphere, and my student from the Tanki Academy Of Magic is @SerialAmazingKiller. Thanks to both for their temporary lending of their beautiful tanks for my pictures.

Greetings, story-hungry-peeps! If you appreciate art, you must have already read, liked, and shared and subscribed this interview that I did a couple of days ago. Well, that one was only half the story. The devil is in the details, the full story is in the behind-the-scenes. Excited much? Then grab that bag of popcorn, put your butt on the chair and start reading! As I got down from the Hornet Taxi, suitcase in hand, I felt I need not intake air into my lungs, for the intake of sheer beauty and magnificence through my eyes was overwhelming. There it was, the much famed EN Reporters’ HQ right in front of me, the glass shining a brilliant blue, checkered with the metallic gloss of chrome and steel, standing a mighty 52 floors high, looking down upon the puny EN Forum, Chat, Events, and Help Site Moderators’ HQs, all 1 or 2 floors high each, all made of pale yellow whale teeth that never kissed a brush. And here I was, with the driver shouting for his fare, whom I ignored for a full 5 minutes with my lower-jaw melting on the hot asphalt of the road (and I’m pretty tall, so my jaw had to travel a really long way down) just for the dramatic effect. “Damn, what a beauty!” I finally spoke. “So ye nit gonna pay me, aye?” “All right all right, here you go,” I said, seamlessly transferring a sum of 150 crystals via my smartphone. My bill was 69 crystals. The unusually generous tip immediately bought me a couple of thank-yous and overwhelming gratitude. The EN Reporters’ HQ was, at first, a shabby hut with four bamboos in each corner, with all the archive papers wrapped around the bamboos to create a ‘wall’ to keep out curious eyes dying to know who won the contests. And then came along the [iNCREDIBLY NUBISH RANK]ary . Disgusted by the abject poverty the reporters dwelled in, he assigned a gargantuan budget to The Newspaper. How much? Well, skilled investigative reporter (among other things too) though I am, I couldn’t get my eyes on the exact figure. However, according to a piece of paper that I later found in the archives, it was enough to buy the full garage, paints and modules and MUs and everything else you can think of that can be bought with crystals included (except items in the "Special" category), more than 50 times over. 1/5th of this sum was distributed among the reporters to keep the morale high. 3/5th was used to build the current HQ. Most of the rest was used to hire a firm, which had the job of designing an entirely new newspaper with entirely new business models. And thus was born the newspaper as you see it today. Trivia: Anyway, the budget had obviously been well used. There it was, the much famed EN Reporters’ HQ right in fro… Editor: You already described the place once. Me: Yeah? Editor: Yeah. Me: Dang. But can I please describe it once more? Editor: Nawp. Me: Pleajh? Editor: Nawp. Me: Pleajh pleajh pleajh? Editor: #G9^999tR9^999kt I\Iug! The entrance was guarded by 4 identical (to my eyes at least) armed penguins in military clad suits and sunglasses and masks, holding some kind of double barreled guns. On asking them, I was told that those were (I quote) “Twins 5VXRGI6 Double Shock Semi-automated G7 barreled 4.20.69 caliber plasma X guns.” Genius though I am, I obviously understood nothing, except the fact that those were some dangerous toys. The reception inside had 6 more of such penguins, but that was - obviously - not the first thing I noticed. The first thing that I did notice, was the lavish decoration. Ah, the beauty! The fountain was a welcome sight after melting under the grueling sun of Rio de Janeiro outside (yes, I had forgotten to tell you, this is all happening in Rio de Janeiro. I could scroll up and write that in one of those paragraphs, but, hey, I’m in AWC, right? We AWC molts ain’t doing such things). The walls were decorated with beautiful portraits of blue tanks, with ‘Thanks to @Night-Sisters for holding a gun to eragon’s head financing this exquisite piece of art’ inscribed at the bottom of each one. The floors were covered with expensive Persian carpets (or maybe Arabian, I don’t know, I’m not an expert on carpets or anything, I’m just a greenie from AWC). The reception table was made of marbl… “How may I help you, sir?” the receptionist, a blonde woman of about 25, asked. “Hello, well, I’m Magenta, Member of the AWC. I’m here to interview the guys…” I didn’t know what exactly to call the reporters. And, oh, yes, I wasn’t a Distinguished Member of the AWC at that time, but I’m now, so don’t think you can get away with not bowing in front of me just because I introduced myself as only a Member HALF A YEAR AGO. “I’ll let Mr. Kav… I mean, Mr. Tweezers, know that you’re here, and he’ll be here shortly. Why don’t you take a seat while you wait?” Whoa, close shave. She almost told me Tweezers’ real name. Not that I already don’t know, of course, but if she had told me, I would have to quote her in this article, since I’m an honest amateur reporter who doesn’t mess with quotes. And then you would know Tweezers’ real name, and, oh boy, that would be messy. “That won’t be necessary, Marge. I’m here.” Turning back, I saw it was Twee. “Hey Mag, ‘sup boy?” he enquired, shaking my hands. Without waiting for a reply, he said, “Follow me, you don’t want to get lost in this building. Of the 52 floors, 50 floors are used only as archives. And the whole thing is one helluva maze. If you get lost, you’re certain to get eaten by some monster bugs that nest here. Legend is, the Illuminati HQ is right here, hidden somewhere in these archives, because nobody goes in the archives, you know, for fear of getting lost and being eaten by some monster spider. Don’t look so pale, with me as your guide, there won’t be a need to worry, boy.” “Well, on which floor is the office?” “We work in the top two floors, because the view is GREAT!” “Surely we are going to go there straight via the elevator, right? So how could we possibly get lost?” I asked, putting my brilliant deductive skills to useful usage. “Well, the elevator passage is under maintenance from floor 36 to 42, so we go to floor 36 in the elevator, then take the stairs to 42, then take the second elevator, which currently operates only between floor 42 and 52. Problem is, the elevator passage is in one corner of the building, and the stair case in another. And the stairs are scattered… what I mean is, each floor is connected to an adjacent floor via a different staircase. The staircase isn’t one whole connect straight up thing like the elevator passage. For example, after getting down from the elevator in floor 36, we’ll have to walk from the south-east corner of the floor to the north-east corner, where the staircase connecting floor 36 and floor 37 is. Then we go from the north-east corner in floor 37 to the south-west corner where the staircase connecting floor 37 to floor 38 is, and so on.” “Whoa, why such weird stuff?” “Only the architect knows,” he replied. “Looks like he was a noob.” “I know, right? He was mysteriously shot in his apartment after the construction of this building was completed. Shame we couldn’t sue the guy, so we wrote “NOOB” on his gravestone.” “And who was this architect?” After a long silence, Twee replied, “Adriel was his name. Famous mapmaker.” Understanding that I was walking on dangerous territory, I fixed my eyes on the floor number display on the elevator, that was going ‘30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35…’ and within the blink of an eye, we were there in floor 36. The door opened, and I almost fainted after what my senses told me what they had just met. END OF PART 1 Welp, that's it for now, people. Part 2 will be here soon. Want it sooner? Leave a like and a comment to let me know that my work is loved and appreciated! It would be presumptuous of me to work faster otherwise, since working faster means that I think people care about my work, which may not be the case bye bye bye... Blah!

You could have left after approving my articles... who knows how long it will take now, with the honest guy gone.

Howdy, aspiring magicians! Magic! So fascinating! Shame that it can be performed only in the real world. Or maybe not? Maybe it can be performed in our favorite, the Tankiverse? Why give up hope, eh? Let’s try? Too many questions? Maybe just one answer? Why? Because the guy who’s supposed to answer is lazy, perhaps? Well, where is the answer? Maybe the whole of this article is the answer? Enough small talk. Start reading, or you’ll fail the annual Tankogward exams. Rush mAgic! Introduction We all like to have some fun, and the game itself provides none of it – unless, of course, you’re a talented guy who’s always winning contests (like me), which enables you to buy tons of drugs (again, like me). I now know for a fact that this article won’t win the Best of AWC at the end of the year because I just said the game isn’t fun. Maybe the judges will be fairer than I think? Who cares? I’m just giving my loyal readers a good time. Waiting for the likes to roll in, guys. Please. Just one from each one of you. Please. Anyway, where was I... well, we all like to have some fun. So we invented parkour. Races. Football. All those other events, the names of which I cannot possibly recall without going back online right now, which I can’t, so I’ll just put a link in these brackets when I’m online [http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showforum=233]. Diverting from the topic again I was, sorry, so, umm, where were we again… so we invented all that stuff, to have fun. Fun Fact: Sane, non-no-lifer humans do the draft of most of their articles offline, on MS Word, usually. No-lifers just stay up all night and type out their stuff on some Tanki page. But the list lacked something that I really like. Magic. Is it not an art, to be able to fool while simultaneously entertaining? How could such an important item be missing on the list? It had to be present, to be made possible. And I, the most modest and capable man on earth, took over the burden myself. After all - being honest here - who could be a better man for the job than myself? It would be unfair to the people if a less competent man was to be appointed. I simply couldn’t stand this injustice. I had to do it. Just had to. Compelled, I was. So without further ado, of which I and you, the reader, have been having a lot lately, let’s proceed to learning Magic in Tanke, step by step! @Marc da Editor: It’s Tanki, not Tanke. Me: Who gives a bollocks? Disappearing into thin air Step 1: Choose a map. An ideal place in an ideal map Ideally, the map should have a building or any kind of opaque object that is large enough for you to hide behind. Something like Berlin, you know? Your audience can stand/sit/do-whatever-tanks-do in front of the building, the building platform acts as an ideal stage, and behind the building is great for behind the scene stuff, which you’ll need for this trick. Talking about an audience… Step 2: Get a naïve audience. Behold le magician... Easy. Just invite a couple of your friends who are online. Don’t invite too many, because too many is just too many, and difficult to manage. Don’t invite any super-smart ones. Tip: A good rule of thumb is to invite people who are dumber than you are. This is important, because if your audience is smart, it might figure out that what you just did is not magic but mere trickery. Tip: 3-5 is an ideal size for the audience. Step 3: Go behind the building. Just do as I say. Also, make sure you haven’t planted a mine somewhere. Since drugs are not necessary for this trick, I suggest you keep drugs off while making the battle. "Behind the building" should look something like this Step 4: Go Poof! Make sure nobody is watching you. Then ask your audience to check behind the building. Don’t forget to remind them that they will find you dissolved into thin air. Why? Because the audience is dumb. Dumber than you. Immediately after you send this message on the chat, press the ‘Esc’ button on your keyboard, found at the top left corner, and then press ‘enter’, a button found one button below backspace, as well as on the bottom right corner. This must be done quickly, lest your audience climbs behind the stage and finds you still present. The whole thing will then become a flop. You’ll become the laughing stock of people dumber than you. Shame. So, much practice advised. And then you'll fly straight to the illuminati HQs Tip: You could also press Tab and then click exit and then press enter. The choice is up to you. Do whatever you’re faster in doing, because speed is really important. Fun Fact: In the old days, people used to disappear quite frequently in Berlin. Officials said that lag was the cause, but some brave reporters found out that it was Semyon all along. Semyon was apparently kidnapping these poor tankers, and released them only after Alternativa gave him the sum of money that he demanded. It was only after came that the kidnappings stopped. Why? We don’t know. Levitate Step 1: Get some good music. Good music is important to keep spirits up. Play this song in the background while performing the trick. For added drama, you can also ask your audience to play it in their computers/laptops/whatever. Step 2: Choose a map In your chosen map, there should be at least one building that has a roof similar to this: Area formula for trapeziums can be found here. But obviously you don't need to know that, aye? For the trick, you’ll have to climb on to the roof. So make sure that the map you chose has a building - with the required roof - that is easy to climb on to. This building in Year 2042 is ideal: I'm talking about the blue building on the left. Ever heard of the "rule of the thirds?" You're gonna have trouble finding the advised audience. Big time. Step 3: Get a naïve audience. Again, get an audience of 3-5 people who are dumber than you. You could reuse the same audience you used last time. Though this is legit magic, dumb and naïve people are still necessary, since most people already know of this trick. They should stand below on the ground, somewhere from where they can see you levitating. No need to post the picture again, I presume? Step 4: Get onto your chosen building in your chosen map. The building I chose in Year 2042 was easy to climb into – you literally just had to drive onto it. But if you feel like, you could waste a couple of hours trying to parkour on to the roof. Totally up to you. For all I care, just get onto the goddarn building. Tip: Parkour can get tedious after a few tries. I'm on top of the world, ei... Step 5: Drive to the edge of the roof. Basically, the prop on the edge of the roof is invisible, but it’s a solid one. So you’re tank can rest on it, but your audience cannot see it. This tricks your dumb audience into believing that you’re levitating. One of my students who take magic lessons from me Tip: Since this invisible-but-solid part of the roof is a pretty slim area, I suggest you get a slim hull that will fit in, typically a wasp or a hornet. Fun Fact: This invisible-but-solid can also be shot through. Walking/driving/doing-whatever-tanks-do on water Well, first you would have to find water in the Tankiverse. If you manage to do that, send me a PM and I’ll personally show you how to walk/drive/do-whatever-tanks-do on it. Fun Fact: The skybox in Rio is just an illusion, as are all the skyboxes in all other maps. So that’s not water, that’s just a hologram. Walk/drive/do-whatever-tanks-do through solid walls Step 1: Choose a map. Honestly though, not much choosing that you can do here. Rio is one the very few maps - if not the only map - with props that you can perform this trick on. If you know any other map, you’re free to use it. It’s difficult to describe in words what exact kind of props I’m talking about, but you’ll know by the time you’re done reading about this trick. But for now, let’s just use Rio, k? Attaboi. Rio de Janeiro, the city of heat! Step 2: Get a naïve audience. Again, get an audience of 3-5 people who are dumber than you. You could reuse the same audience you used last and last-to-last time. Though this is legit magic, dumb and naïve people are still necessary, since most people already know of this trick. Stick your NUGgets somewhere around here: I do have tons of mines and red marker, like, YUGE tons Step 3: Go behind the spooky prop. I mean this prop here: You'll need a light hull and a turret with good recoil to get there. You know why. Everybody does. Wait, did you say no? Boy, you're gonna have trouble finding the adviced audience. Massive time. You just have to stand behind it, somewhere here: Somewhere about there... Step 4: Walk/drive/heck-just-do-whatever-tanks-do-christ! through the wall. If you go straight through, you’ll self-destruct, though your dead tank will still emerge on the other side. So you’ll have to go through the corner, something like this: Wait lemme ask someone whether this is even legit...good You’ll need to practice a lot for this one, or else you’ll self-destruct. Make bushes glow-in-the-dark Step 1: Choose a map. This map should have night-mode available. Bushes will still glow in day-mode, but night-mode just looks cooler. Steer clear of Future (the map), because it doesn’t have bushes. You’ll obviously need bushes. Bushes! Step 2: Don’t get an audience. Trust me, pretty much everyone who has played the game for 10 hours or more knows about this one. This trick is better performed for beauty than for magic. I wanted to do 5 tricks in this article, but a good fifth one wasn’t coming to my mind, so I just settled for this one. Step 2.5: Perform in a rank up party or a photo shoot instead. Though well known, few people have the presence of mind to use this spectacular freak-of-naturetanki in situations where some beauty would certainly help. You have entertained those dumber-than-you friends of yours enough. Now go impress some of your smarter friends! Step 3: Get firebird. Plasma turrets and freeze do send out glowing stuff, but firebird is the most spectacular. Most people have M2 Step 4: Shoot into the bush. Preferably, ask a friend to help you flip you 90 degrees to the ground, so that you can shoot in the ground, where the bush is. If your friend flips you 180 degrees, that person is your enemy, not your friend. Tip: Flip where the bush is, don’t go into the middle of nowhere and then flip 90 degrees. Won’t help. Also, this will work even if you don’t flip. You can now use this trick in your friend’s rank up, or act as a background in a photo shoot, or you could do it in a photo shoot without being condemned into background-hood. If you do the latter, don’t flip 90 degrees, cuz that’ll look ugly. Don’t flip 180 degrees either. Just don’t fip. Just don’t. Anyway, this picture will explain it: The crop function was on strike Fun Fact: This trick was originally featured on @Hexed’s article. I just borrowed it. Don’t look at me like that, @Ninja! I just borrowed it, man! Kk, I’ll give him credits. Credits: @Hexed. ‘appy? Tip: Anyway, guys, that’ll be all. Hope you enjoyed this brilliant guide on doing Magic in Tanki! The “pls subscribe fur mur articles” joke is stale, so I won’t use it. But nonetheless, leave behind a like, even if you don’t mean it. And yes, Magenta is back! Ciao!

There were as many jokes as can be possibly fitted into an interview, I think. But thanks for the feedback... I guess I'll have to do-you-know-what to my future interviewee, so that they learn some humour.

Loyal to your boss till the last breath, eh? That's one thing he ain't doing just yet. Purge that letter. ~A Certain Kind of Nazi
