here are mine 125 mines 125 speed boosts 3.5k crystals 5 goldbox 250 of each supply me alt's unlucky 125 mines (2)

So I can ask for crystals?

I used to like matchmaking until it kept putting me on losing teams....

What should I do?

Are my Mu's supposed to fail or not?

Sure, I guess.

I used to play on #5, or at least I watched my noob account die on it.

So I have zero chance of winning bc i'm asleep when the videos come out.

Maybe not for my alt...(I can't smoky)

Tanki=Life In-depth: D/L Ratio is like your GPA (a 4.0 is like a 1.00 D/L, if you haven't already guessed). If you are a good player, reading this is a joke. :D When I started Tanki as a noob loser a while back, I didn't know how to do anything except run away from the enemy tanks. (Not true) At least, that's what I've been told. So then people would kindly "help" me by playing for me. And back then my D/L was in the 0.20s (I think). One day, I got the computer to myself. During those hours, I ranked up from a loser private to a Staff Sergeant, increasing my D/L to about 0.60. I still remember (this was about a year ago) that I had about 900 kills and 1500 deaths. Then I stopped playing Tanki for about a year. Then one day, I got back to Tanki after I realized there was an HTML5 version (No, I didn't watch any V-logs) found out that Flash worked on my new computer. After logging back on, I played for a few weeks and became a First Sergeant. That was when I really started to pay attention to my D/L. TOO LATE! My D/L was virtually unsaveable, like the failed finals in school that drop grades to B's. (Like my math grade in 8th grade - the teacher made a new assignment every three weeks) Like any other determined gamer, I was hoping to get that D/L up to 1. But that would take a good amount of work, and with people judging me whenever I played, that would only increase the pressure of maintaining a good D/L without becoming a pathological drugger. I finally started to get better when I began to play while studying for bio finals when nobody started judging me. (By the way, I only missed one question, and the smartest person in the class missed eight). Anyways, during that time, I had some great battles. (Mostly on Forest CTF - my favorite map) That brought my D/L up to what it is now: 0.83 as of 6/4/18. A D/L ratio is kind of like your GPA. In the beginning, a poor battle could make it plummet, and an excellent battle could rocket it up past 2.00. But after the Sergeant Ranks, it's pretty much unsaveable. Unless you are in the late 0.90s, where it can probably be fixed (if you are extremely skilled and lucky) Why is a D/L so hard to fix (to a 1.00, if you don't have one, that is)? Well, imagine the GPA. If you have all A's but one C, that brings it down to a 3.67. With one F, that's a 3.33. If you have to get a 4.0, I guess you have to ace a few AP classes to bring it back up! Likewise, you'll have to play several games with a D/L above 1.00. This is where it gets hard. Suppose there's a Third Lieutenant with 10000 kills and 15000 deaths. That's a difference of 5000 more deaths than kills. And say this tanker's goal is to get a 1.00 D/L. And let's also suppose he's really lucky and gets 15 kills and 10 deaths in every battle. This will take about 1000 battles to finish, if this player actually maintains his goal. Well, in my case, I have a difference of about 4926-4089=837 kills to make up. 837/5= 167.4, meaning I have to play around 167 battles to get my D/L up to 1, if I can get 15/10 every battle. If you'll excuse me, I've got a quite a few hours of Tanki to play. Update: now I have a difference of 5294-4575=716 kills.

Sorry I should have written better. :P

Are the prizes distributed yet?

Nice flash fiction!

Nvm what I asked earlier. I read too fast and always miss the main points.

Why TANKI=LIFE So many people say that you get addicted to video games and how video games are bad, and I definitely have had a share of people direct that at me. But you probably want to hear what I have to say about how Tanki=Life. And it's not because I’m addicted to Tanki. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Everyone has their own certain build We can’t all be a buyer really strategic person who can beat everyone with any turret/hull combination blindfolded. Just like how you can’t really be a lawyer and a doctor and a contractor and work all three jobs and expect to do the best in all of them. So there are some people who haven’t settled on one turret/hull combo (like my noob account) and it’s ok in M0, but it’s going to hurt once others have M1s and you’re that one guy stuck with a Hornet/Thunder M0 not microupgraded (my noob’s most used fail combo so don’t judge me hornet/thunder fans). Just like life. If you don’t know what you want to be when you’re 10, it doesn’t really matter except that the guy who knows is going to get a headstart. If you seriously can’t find your path in life by the time you’re expected to pay taxes and have a job, you’re going to be poor (stuck working at one fast food joint to the next) or you’re going to have to start your own company. 2. Paints are now for showing off how many crystals you have. Some paints cost a lot but don’t even do anything but cover your tank with a design. Like expensive clothes and things like that. It’s just sad how they can’t lower the prices for the paints. But then again, I wouldn’t buy them. (Only got 3 paints – Idk why I bought white though) 3. Gold Boxes are like Black Friday There’s always that Gold Hunter that pushes me out of the way when I finally find the drop spot of the gold box. Similarly, think of the real fights that occur when people rush for Black Friday sales. At least there’s another chance for the gold soon. 4. DM=Going to University I’ve heard some tales about universities: grade curves, people crying during exams, people going mental, and the like. There are always success stories, but yeah, people tell you the scary ones to help you study up. So anyways, DM is the same. Everyone is there for themselves (except when there’s a group project). Then that’s when people team up against that one annoying drugger in the game. Fun Fact: There’s also no partial credit, so if you don’t kill someone and another tanker gets the kill, he gets all 10 exp, while you get none. 5. TDM/CTF/CP/ASL/RGB (team battles) are the same as getting a job in a company. Thanks to matchmaking, we can’t choose our battles, which means the chances of being against a drugger super talented player increases. Also, your chances of playing with a mult tanker who can’t get a kill without getting killed 10 times. Same in the workplace. I always hear tales about pretty annoying employees who actually get paid a lot to do nothing. There are also people who work 24/7 to fix all the mistakes that the unskilled do or do the lazy guy’s work. That's all I have for now.

Can I join the amateur writers?? Better question - How do I submit an article?

Nobody will let me join a clan.

Are there consolation prizes?

i actually thought all of them were one map

But then Grand also reached a turning point in the story too.

well i'm not familiar with these but i'll give it a shot.

somehow i thought they were all one map....

My plot had so many holes in it tho.... but still that's nice P.S. Great Job Grand! P.P.S. Now that I have a better idea of the story, I can probably do better. lol my writing teacher would be proud i never won anything before I'll probably not do well as I suck at endings. :unsure: ^_^ B)

I'll bet that most people have a love-hate relationship with matchmaking. On one hand, if you are on the winning team, you would like it, but then if you are losing you are eternally cursed for life until you switch battles or rage quit.
