Approved. This parody infused creativity into the original song, turning it from a song used by the annoying kids in my school to irritate the teachers a few years back to a completely new and much better piece. The toast metaphor was one of my favorites, a true comparison to how annoying it is when there is that one Shaft targeting your back every time you spawn in. However, I noticed that the exclamation marks had a space between the last word and the punctuation across all of the stanzas, so I suppose it is intentional and left it there. Other than that, great work - I can't wait for more! Edits: N/A

Class rank 1 of 450, still hate school ? It's an overall experience in my opinion. You can enjoy learning but hate school. You can enjoy the subject but hate the class. When considering the learning aspect, I've usually liked learning most subjects (except English, most ironically), but it depends on the classmates and teacher as well. Sometimes, the class is just really awful and you don't have a positive experience from being in the class. For example, we just watched videos for hours in chem class, but in physics, we had fun lectures and free time to do lots of labs. We had more work in physics but most everyone still liked the class better. Other times, it's just the students. One of my previous math classes a few years back was phenomenal; our entire friend group was in the same math class. In my first year of high school, I had a bunch of upperclassmen in my classes and I didn't know them that well. So when we had free time in my first math class, it was a blast, but in my other one, I was bored to death. But hey, that is where I got the inspiration to write an become a reporter, so all's fair in life. While I'm here, why don't I go over a typical year 1 of my high school career? 7:20 a.m. - walking in the bitter wind to go to Spanish class. We usually had fun creating the silliest of stories to learn loads of vocab. I always volunteered to write the stories because I was too shy to act to earn my participation points. Turns out I became one of the best writers in Spanish in that class. Fun times. 8:20 a.m. - Math class. It was really a bore and a chore, so I grinded my classwork and started working on homework whenever some bumbling year 2 didn't ask for tons of extra examples. Also, I started writing. Just took the big stories of yesterday and compiled them in my notebooks. 9:20 a.m - Music class. So the two guys sitting next to me in my section were absolute boneheads who the teacher just happened to love so dearly that he placed them ahead of me, the rightful section leader, but yeah, that's another story. We played a lot of cool songs but then because we only had one capable trumpet in our band, our teacher started assigning us the easiest pieces on Earth. Our trumpet section was just really bad forever lol. 10:20 a.m. - Break aka a 15 minute walk contemplating why human beings tend to group and talk together (*pangs of pre-covid heartache*) 10:35 a.m. - Biology, the worst class of a lifetime. We had this huge clique partying and eating during the whole class (even though you're not supposed to be eating in a laboratory science class). It was even worse since I would actually be paying attention and taking notes while they were clowning around, so when the teacher asked if we could move on, these people kept asking for more time, so we would take forever to finish any slideshow. Oh, and they also asked to copy my homework... Most of the time, I just ignored everyone and wrote the majority of my big stories there. 11:35 a.m. - P.E., which was just when the teacher picks the athletic people to lead everything and the best people (with the worst sportsmanship) dominate all the activities (or in the case of lacrosse, they were so hopeless that they actually decided to be violent and use their power to knock other people down). Except swimming. They can't swim. 12:35 p.m. - Lunch, also just a 30 minute walk and a time to think closely about the world. Also conclude some stories of the most outrageous people giving out free bruises during my last class. 1:05 p.m - Final class/English. We always had to read some sort of book and do quizzes, not exactly really fun. But at least my teacher was pretty good at helping us with essays and pretty lenient. 2:05 p.m. - Go home ? Interesting? I'll give out some more soon!

Simply be the fastest to submit an entry with the correct GS combination and win yourself some easy crystals! Best of luck on the battlefield!

Hold on - who doesn't?

It's been a heck of a year, and... okay, I'm going to stop repeating the lyrics from an unreleased song before I get indefinitely muted. Join in as I rewind the good, the bad, and the cringey of 2020! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just the other day, I got my Spotify Wrapped and the Top 100 Songs playlist added to my account. Curiously, I took a listen. The first song, idfc, was pretty normal because I already knew this song pretty well - I just vibed to it perfectly as it played for a glorious four minutes and five seconds. The next song was i'm so tired, setting me on a completely different split-screen. One was the world of devastation and loneliness everyone usually thinks of when reminded of me, while the other was finding peace and satisfaction in a world of chaos and sugar-high barbaric children. It was the epitome of 2020. In short, 2020 was not the normal year. We all saw the signs with conflicts and the medical crisis back in the early days in January, but as I had just started off my first few days with a positive moment, I, like many others, chose to ignore this impending problem. In time, we were all sent home on that fateful day, March 13, 2020, and to this day, everything is now different. What we thought was a short-term goodbye was a forever farewell. What we thought was just a small issue is now a raging predicament everywhere. Sometimes, it just seems like the world turned upside-down: everything we thought was fine is no longer so. In the first months of quarantine, I struggled to embrace this new normal. I cursed the year. I cursed everything that happened. I wished it would all be over and send me back to the blissful (almost) heaven I had. But now, with just days before the end of arguably the worst year in history, I embrace this year. It doesn’t mean I have to like it, but at least, I am doing my best to have a good time here. I hope you'll be able to feel the same way with a few good memories. Let's take a look at some of the interesting moments on Tanki and in real life. What?!? Playing Tanki? This year was a strange one if you're discussing my Tanki career, as well as those of some others. Back in 2019, I swore off playing (due to *cough* rude stares for playing a game that wasn't "trending") and stayed at the lovely rank of Third Lieutenant for over a year. But instead, in 2020, I ended up playing more than ever before, ranking up an unprecedented three times to Major and completing two challenges. With all the weird schedules from lockdowns, we all had strange 2020 Tanki careers. Here's a nice screenshot to remember these great times: Special thanks to @Do.Or.DiE for taking an AMAZING screenshot! Definitely a different scene from a usual day at school, where I would be quietly surviving on cookies instead of real food to save money and look like I could actually afford a lunch at an expensive restaurant with my friends *cough*. Moving on, it was an uptrending forum and helper career. Some time ago last year, actually, precisely 1 year to the writing of this article (10 December), I was invited to join the Newspaper Reporters crew as an official candidate. It was a dream come true as I've already discussed previously, and I'm glad I had the chance to help organize the Tanki's Birthday, Halloween, and this very own Christmas Issue as well as play a large role in the development of today's paper. And of course, thanks for staying here and being a loyal reader! I also got the chance to expand my writing codeblocks expertise on to two more fields, Proofreaders and eSports Reporters. Collaborating with the different team members and getting in sync with the varied dynamic was and still is a fun learning experience. I can't wait for more amazing moments (with perhaps new helper teams) in the coming years! As mentioned above, this past year was hectic, but despite this I was still able to make some interesting memories, to say the least. Why not leave some room for a quick little story? Hopefully you'll be able to gain something from it! Lessons from the Lockdown For all of us, I'd bet that life prior to the lockdown was more or less relatively good. For me, I had reached a new high score in my video game of life provided that you don't count the physical education Assault gamemode two days prior: I had more friends (and a relationship *cough*) than I had ever had before, I was performing exceptionally well in my classes, and I had just settled in as an official Newspaper Reporter. Honestly, it was one of the best times of my life. except the week before, because as you know, I am psychic and can predict when bad things are going to happen. Anyhow, as I predicted, something large happened: the schools closed. The school was all buzzing about it in that week - calling for the officials to stop school, planning parties with friends and all the various activities to do during the given quasi-holiday. It sounded nice and peachy - heck, I even got invited to a hot pot party (and finally got the go-ahead after completely smashing my hand on a table and trying to go for volume over reason) - until it was all cancelled. Because between that Friday the 13th, when we were all sent home, and Monday the 16th, a true lockdown had happened. We were all cooped up at home. One little virus, so many problems :x Because the school had already called a holiday, we just happened to have no classes for two weeks. During that time, I somehow managed to beg my parents into letting me use Discord to connect with my friends and we had a blast on my church server, much to my brother and toaster's dismay. The next day, of course, the toaster was crumbling and my brother was in a surly mood. Then things started to fall apart. My darned laptop couldn't keep up with Discord voice calls, what we had in mind for passing time was becoming dull, and I was losing every single game of skribbl.io (or getting votekicked randomly *violent cough*). To make a long story short, I had a difficult time adjusting to this new normal. My friends from school were constantly playing video games and voice chatting for hours on Discord. At the time, I only had an ancient laptop and severe computer restrictions, so it’s safe to say I had no time to do things like browse through YouTube and the Tanki forum (which was blocked anyways) and chat with my friends, so for the first few weeks, I was constantly angry. I was locked up in my own little world (except for the occasional Discord call from my now ex) while everyone played skribbl.io and Valorant, watched anime and movies, and had a good time together. The more I thought of it that way, the angrier I became towards my friend group, and the more I felt I deserved something better. So for the next few weeks, I was constantly raging. I unplugged the happy-go-lucky playlist and started putting in angry and depressing tracks. I fought with my family on an hourly basis. I'm still not over not having the best PC. But it's Christmastime - maybe I will get a new one ? It was all about something I didn’t have: a strong computer. I needed to look for something that I could do without what I lacked. For this reason, I started running on the track and looking for places to improve there, as well as started studying for my exams. Though it was initially dark, I began to make my way through to the light. Well, at least until my foot injury. By finding something else to distract myself while they laughed through jackbox.tv, I no longer felt as left out. Finally, they restarted school and I rediscovered forum work. I didn’t realize how relieving it was to approve an AWS article after several weeks of being offline. It was bliss. And it didn’t just apply to Tanki. I also started working on a physics research project I really wanted to start and finally understood how to work with Python much better than before. Through these, I was able to forget the pain of being left out and lose myself in something I liked to do more. In the summer, I was pretty fully immersed in helper work. I woke up, proofread, ate, wrote eSports, ate, wrote for the newspaper, ate, brainstormed ideas and studied, and went to sleep on a normal day. It was a great time. I remember joining the eSports and Proofreaders team and building great bonds with some of the helpers there. Additionally, I really got into MasterChef and a bunch of other cooking shows, which was just as fun. To make it even better, I ended up getting more time on the computer and gaining access to the Tanki forum. It was honestly the best part of the year. The only dull part was losing all of those friends, who no longer wanted to hang out with me because of toaster discrimination I didn't make an effort to be part of the group, but good riddance - who cares about people who won't accomodate to people with toasters? We just look so much better with Santa hats, don't you know? Even now, with more helper and school work to busy me and none of those friends I had before, it's a lot easier to look on the bright side and find what brings me joy. Before the lockdown, I was used to going along with the group to fit in oh, and did I mention that my 200 000 Tankoins spent on micro-upgrading my wardrobe is completely worthless?, but now, I also grew to find my own interests instead of looking to someone else to find something to do. It's a lot better that way - you have much more control over what you want and gain so many key skills through this process. ? A Cheesy Conclusion Ah, welp, even the best of stories have to come to an end. (smash liek) Though 2020 was an unusual and tumultous year, instead of focusing on the painful moments and tuning into the most cringeworthy songs, I turned my eyes to the world of blessings, the new opportunities I had. Through this different year, I remember to focus on the better things in life, and more importantly, be myself and do what I love. I hope my experiences will be able to help you do the same. I really want to thank everyone for being here and pulling through this year. While I hope that 2021 will be a better year, no matter the circumstances, let’s band together and find new opportunities! Oh, and if you wanted to listen to my Spotify playlist, here it is: Enjoy!

Is it already time for another Best of AWS? Well, yes - it's time to unveil who has been writing the best quality masterpieces; buckle up for an exciting awards list and a lineup of amazing reads! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Who remembers when y'all had so many articles a'writing that I couldn't keep up with them? Oh, well, that was right after the past AWS writer awards. See, I told you, kaisdf, we need to pay AWS writers no i never had such a conversation with him Anyhow, we've gotten ourselves to the end of the most interesting year in a while. This year, I didn't even get my Christmas present early *cries in a corner* like last year. Anyhow, enough rambling from me... Moving on, let's get to the most important part. We had dozens of impressive articles from October to December, so let's go over the prizes before we get started with winners. Each article winner will receive 15 000 crystals and 2 containers, and the winners of special distinctions 40 000 crystals and 10 containers. Overall Awards Actually, this time around, the Most Active Writer and Most Valuable Writer are one; of course, it must be @dupuy. This writer has been innovating with some amazing stories, finishing off the adventurous War For the Kingdom Series with an epic ending. You'll notice just how much the story has developed plot, character, and description-wise with each new chapter. Don't forget to check it out! Article Awards [Review] The Tesla Turret (Developer’s Corner #2) by @Viking4s When it comes to writing articles, Viking4s is unrivaled in attention to detail and amazing supplemental media that puts the newspaper's textwalls to shame. In this review, Viking takes all the information given by Tanki and puts it all together for a cohesive analysis and rating of the new turret. Will Tesla drop by the end of the year as he predicts? Let's find out! In the meantime, read up to be prepared for what's next... Guide to becoming a PRO by @Ironmantonystark "Guides to being pro" are usually very superficial, but this one goes way beyond the basic "easy way to pro" experience. We've got an amazing and inspirational guide by a promising writer, Ironmantonystark. This first guide was one of the best I've read, especially for a first article/guide by a player, containing brief and insightful tips and motivating words, all well-packaged into one concise guide. Amazing work! Guide to Team Juggernaut - Attack (Part I) by @Tokamak The Leaky Mult's newest recruit, Tokamak, is an aspiring guide-writer who has obviously spent many hours in game, as his Juggernaut guides are absolutely phenomenal. This guide, on attacking in Team Juggernaut, analyzes all the stats and gives a load of incredibly useful advice. We're sure you'll enjoy it, but don't forget to bring some popcorn and take some notes - it's a long read! Creativity Awards War For The Kingdom Series by @dupuy As mentioned above, our standout story writer dupuy has just been writing some of the best pieces ever in this eventful War For The Kingdom series. The story began way back when in 2018 and took a hiatus, but there is no doubt that it came back stronger than ever in 2020 - the plot has made its way to a very thrilling climax. If you're not caught up on the series, I've linked Chapter 4, the earliest 2020 installment, which also includes the first three chapters. Happy reading! Father's House by @Venerable Another amazing writer, Venerable has carved up a reputation for writing another type of story - the short story. Evidently, this story is no exception - it is easily one of the most impressive and moving pieces here in the AWS. If you're looking for a light read, don't hesitate to take a look at this piece. I guarantee you'll enjoy it! Paranoia by @Lose As always, we have more strong pieces by amazing writers, and Lose definitely deserves recognition for Paranoia. Just as with Venerable's piece, a simple idea was transformed into a full-fledged story - simply amazing and complete with the Halloween chills. Even though it's Christmastime, I guarantee you'll enjoy the read. Containment in Skyscrapers - Chapter 15 by @tankicola The most prolific writer of the past season has slowed with the Containment in Skyscrapers installments, but they are incredibly well-written nevertheless. Simply brilliant plot development and strong content overall make the series a must-read. We only hope to see more chapters coming in 2021 for eager readers! The Leaky Mult #6 - December 2020 by @Merovingian and @Tokamak As always, the Leaky Mult needs no introduction - it is always in tip-top condition. These two strong writers, the all-around Merovingian and prospective guide-writer Tokamak have collaborated to bring you the best in humor. Grab some Oreos (as they insist) and get your daily dose of Vitamin H(umor) here! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That's all for today, I hope you'll enjoy these awesome pieces from the AWS! If you want to write as well, show us your creative side here! We'll see you later! *If you noticed extra crystals prior to this date, then your friend must have sneaked onto your account and opened some containers, because they're coming right after Christmas. Enjoy! TNK00-00000-0?DJA-TPUQM-DCADD

Approved. Absolutely phenomenal chapter; it was very moving and further advanced the plot perfectly. Perhaps a climax is coming soon? Personally, the plot was the best part as there was a good mix of description/dialogue, character development, and plot progression. The next chapter will be a must-read, so I'll be sure to approve that at my earliest convenience. Amazing work as always - you're a fine story writer and have improved immensely since the beginning of the series. I hope to see more great pieces from you! Edits: a few spelling/grammar changes

Added it as a prefix; whoops, not a missing tag again ?

Before 20 July 2019 14:06? If so, then yeah it's someone else's; if not, mine mine mineeeee ? Also @asem.harbi both are correct but in different situations. It's an idiomatic complement and depends on the sentence. In this example, "I gave a helpful resource to everyone", "everyone" is the object, so it gets the idiomatic complement "to". The other example, "I gave a helpful resource for the benefit of everyone", "benefit" is the object, so you add "for everyone" instead of "to everyone" as it isn't the object. It takes time to get used to it; just remember that it's not always the same IC for every word - it depends on the sentence. Just try to find what sounds correct; you'll master it in no time!

*coughs* Perfect place for me to dump some of my stupid brain ramblings from my youthhood and maybe tell a few good bedtime stories sorry if i look like im not trying when im typing lol oke so first on: "noope" - self explanatory well okay it was a very long time ago and basically someone was asking some stupid question to me a lot lol and i was like 'nope' but i made a typo since i was typing since we were in the age of using goOgLE hAnGouTs and cringifying ourselves too badly so yeh that's where that one came from. oh and i don't know... i just started adding random letters to it and out came "noopsesthingses" which was much worse. after that year my soul died and i wasn't very human for very long so i didn't think of words but i guess one of those days 3 years later i had an idea which was "cringeomatical" - again, more self explanatory, just really cringe. oh yea now i remember lol apparently my english teacher last year was like that she said a bunch of weird things that i kept recorded in one of my discord channels but something happened to that server but like my ex and ex best friend both posted quotes before they left and it feels too hard to paste them but she used a lot of alternative swear words like "[verb] the heck out of [noun]" and some more phrases. and so she was making a definite point not to say one of these swear words which was really cringeomatical but she accidentally slipped at the end of the class... lol whoops i missed one "revelationized" - the act of seeing a revelation i actually told this story to a few reporters so let's hope this comes out okay anyways. remember how the above part was about swearing? well ok uh i grew up in a Christian family and church so we were all like supposed to be good kids. except i wasn't since i had behavioral issues because im not a human and cannot be programmed to behave but that's not the problem. so anyways like some time around 13, i though like well since we all are perfect angels and stuff we must never swear and stuff since it is exactly like doing something wrong and so yeah that's how I went about it. and then like my church buddies started leaking their expansive vocabulary and i had a two month mental breakdown that resulted in an insanely high test score oh and another one "oof moment" - self explanatory, some bad moment like being super close to capping a flag but failing coz time runs out or your team's mammoth decides to sit on the base and you die so well this is kinda directly related to the above one since one of my friends' sisters accidentally dropped a word i cant write here in front of the strictest (about this policy) adult that i know and i noticed the teachers jaw literally dropped below the floor in shock but then the next day i had a mock SAT and i kept thinking about it in the math section. so then when i got my score back i made all sorts of silly math mistakes and scored 100 points lower than my actual score. also unrelated but after that we went out to eat and we couldn't find a buffet restaurant with a short line but my dad wasn't willing to compromise and go to a fast food place lol okay enough rambling.... but wait, there's even more "depressionable" - something that warrants depression so you know i was talking a lot about the test the SAT that doesn't matter even though i did well *sobs* except my friend who never talks to me anymore didn't but at the time we were kind of close and anyways my friend was really sad after not doing well on the exam because the math curve was insane and when you're not good at math you don't do well on the overall exam because collegeboard is like that and yeh my friend was contemplating some dark things because his parents were going to get mad and stuff so yeah i think i just came up with it and after the exam i was really dead but yeah one of those days i got a text from that one friend coz i don't have a lot of friends "intreguenable" - i wasn't sure how to spell intriguing okay i was just DUMB the text had some secret information and level of stuff a robot cant process which is just my friend had a mad crush on someone in the youth orchestra he was in lol and i thought that was interesting and spent some time trying to find out who because im annoying and yeah i was trying to say "intriguing" but that didn't quite work last one since i forgot the rest that i made up and also my soul died some time after since something i cannot discuss but a clue is the assault game mode and physical education. get the first word of both phrases and mix them up and maybe something important will happen "grudgement" - grudge + judgement so one of the weird things was that there was one of the church counselors (yes, that one who temporarily lost her jaw due to my friend's sister's sugar bomb) was obsessed with trying to help "fix" me (because i have behavioral issues) fun fact: like half of the church counselors have tried to do that and it is really annoying because im not disabled, i just don't have an amazing attention span and am not an angel when we have FOURTEEN PEOPLE AND HAVE TO PRAY IN A MULTIPLE HOUR LONG PRAYER CIRCLE okay. and so they tried and failed and had grudges okay but i wasn't the nicest person either since they were all so annoyingly clingy that i could not even go to the bathroom without them checking on me which was really frustrating but i guess i deserved the alienation of them while they deserved my ghosting so hence grudgement. like i said above my spirit and soul died so i stopped making words. then it got worse since my entire body was detached from my human being and now I'm just a robot renting a human body so i can provide the newspaper. okay enough rambling or the forum mods will be coming for me

Approved. It's back - we've all been waiting for the next part of this series, and of course, the plot is amazingly developed as always. Though there isn't much description, the dialogue and the plot development makes the story pop. Oh, and I can't ignore the buildup before the final installment - wow, it's going to be hard to wait for all these stories to conclude. I can't wait for more! Edits: tense changes, a few grammar fixes.

Approved. Good Lord, it's been nearly a year since I've seen The Leaky Mult. Those were some good times back last year, pre-covid, actually being able to pass my exams, but enough from me; let's move on to this piece. These are some really strong contributions from our new writer Tokamak there and top quality as always from Merovingian. Overall, it was a hilarious and intriguing column I'd be glad to welcome back anyday given that Tokamak doesn't face the same fate as your previous promising young writer Given. Hope to see this return soon! Edits: minor grammar changes; see spoiler for a few tips.

Approved. Wow. This series has come a long way, from an light and more comedic beginning to a much more action-packed and darker storyline - impressive! With this level of plot development, I'm sure the rest of the coming chapters (which I have yet to approve) are going to be just as amazing, if not more so. In this chapter, the description of battle was incredibly detailed, something that really set the scene for something so consequential. Looking forward to even more awesome content from you! Edits: minor grammar fixes.

So for example. if you have already written one on the Mad Tanks topic, then link it and paste the link on the submission. If not, make a submission here and obtain the link as stated earlier.

More admin time ? Congrats to new eSports admins @SuperNick95 and @Marcus as well as new co-admins @NlTALlC and @Vlad.

You have contributed so much towards Tanki eSports and will be dearly missed by all of us ?

Thanks for catching that; it will be fixed very soon. Fixed. I will also edit the screenshot send so that you can easily press enter to submit a second screenie.

Perfect Tl;dr, exactly as said except just link the forum post in the form.

As long as they follow the format (screen of both Rewards and Killboard), they are perfectly fine to submit. Great question and thanks for the clarification!

Let's start off with a comprehensive review of the Mad Tanks event and experiment - Person_Random breaks down the pros and cons of the major changes right here. Enjoy! P.S. Huge thanks to @Think for helping with the text of the image ?

I'm so sorry for the delay, but don't be upset that you missed out on the crystals early - just remember that it's a good thing that they're here! Behold, our new Bracket Masters! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As you may know, Revenge was able to take the tournament with ease, pushing through Team Pointers and Eternity, two of the top seeds, to take home the Champion Paint. Congrats to the team! Most unfortunately, here in the contest world, no one was able to guess the complete bracket or the winners correctly; however, we did have three standout entries. For this, the top winner will receive 75 000 crystals and 10 containers and the next two will win a comparable prize package of 37 500 crystals and 5 containers. (Yes, unfortunately, the prizes had to be smaller; I figured that we would have a few winners to split the jackpot among, but sadly, that wasn't the case) Our grand prize winner is... @Global_TO, who managed to predict every single match correctly but failed to indicate a winner. For this, however, he will still be receiving a pretty hefty prize. Wow, I am impressed! Entry: Next up, we have two runner-ups, @Velocity and @blockguy143, who both predicted three matches correctly. Impressive work! Entries: Most of the contestants only managed to correctly predict one match, and that one was between Eternity and Legacy. No worries; there is still another chance and besides, I did the same thing. Let's give one final congrats to our Bracket Masters as well as Revenge on winning CCXIII! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you would like to see this contest return, let me know in the comments below.
