Big thanks to @Abovo for your service in RaS and best of luck to @Spy on bringing the service back!

Approved. Great work; I really enjoyed this article. It was light and fun, and I absolutely loved the little mini-conflict between the food thief and the innkeeper. It was absolutely hilarious while allowing us to get to know more about each of the people in the story. I think this series is going really well in terms of plot development and description, so keep it up! I see more chapters to approve ? Edits: minor grammar changes.

Hello all! We are a bit busy over here at the Newspaper team, so a quick heads up: articles may take a bit longer to approve. If you would like the article approved at a certain time, please PM me and I will try to approve it within 5 days. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for your cooperation ?

Yeap, scheduled for right before sales ?

Congrats @EvilSnowflake on becoming an Assistant Candidate! Good luck on your candidacy! ? Noooo.... you're a brigadier now; no more low rank gang ?

The entries were captions, hence the short length.

Link was broken, sorry. Should be fixed; forgot an "i" in Tankionline

Halloween sales are just a few days away. If you need some extra crystals, we've got your back. Check out the winners of Caption This - we've got some hilarious, dark, and punny lines for you to enjoy!

Oh, and by the way, the Catch an Ares contest just ended; though we had few winners, they'll be going home with a nice compensation package. Check them out here!

We had a few rough spots on this contest; hopefully these won't happen again. Anyways, we still had some winners, so why not reward them with some prizes right before sales? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since the contest was so challenging, we only had a handful of winners, each of whom will be receiving 25 000 crystals and 5 Containers. Please send warm congratulations to: @krish123_super CarryMinati Apologies, for the confusion on the rules. In the future, rules will be clearer and the contests will be less challenging. Again, we're sorry for the inconveniences anyone had during this contest; we hope it will not happen. If you have any suggestions to improve the contest for next time or even a new contest idea, feel free to drop it here in the suggestions page. Original Announcement ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for trying on this contest; hopefully, I'll be able to bring some better ones next time. See you around later!

Hello, Tankers! If you've been anxiously awaiting some spare crystals, well, now's the right time. Caption This has concluded, and with it, we've brought you some great prizes, just in time for those sales! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It's been a week, and so following robot tradition, I, Person_Random, have finished grading your exam papers. Let's look at the winners for each picture. We've got tons of entries this time, and I have to say, many were exceptional. But not everyone can take home the grand prize. [#1] First Place goes to @ShooterMK7 who gets a hefty sum of 40 000 crystals. Very punny. Entry: Second Place goes to @Volturo who earns 30 000 crystals. Entry: Third Place of 25 000 crystals goes to @Railguns Entry: A consolation prize of 20 000 crystals will be given to syros313, @Leopard_2A7 and @chinufire1. Original Caption: "Directed by Michael Bay" [#2] First Place goes to @chinufire1 who gets a hefty sum of 40 000 crystals. Awesome caption, made me crack up! Entry: Second Place goes to @Leopard_2A7 who earns 30 000 crystals. Dark... Entry: Third Place of 25 000 crystals goes to @SHREYA88 Entry: A consolation prize of 20 000 crystals will be given to @artc, Flame_Pillar, and @ShooterMK7 This time around, we don't have any funny non-winner entries. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for participating and congratulations to the winners! If you are unsatisfied or have any concerns about the judging, please PM me for any further inquiries.

Approved. First off, welcome to the AWS! Great first guide; lots of useful tips which will definitely be useful on the battlefield. I also like that you included detailed explanations, which is really helpful for any newcomer. It's also very well formatted for a first article, so great work. With some pictures or videos, this could be a newspaper-worthy guide in no time. Keep it up and I hope to see more articles from you! Edits: added Oxford commas, other minor grammar fixes. It seems that you have your grammar down pretty nicely, so good work!

Big congrats to @iFros and @Pseudonym on passing Chat Moderator candidacies! Great work; well deserved. ? By the way, is there a way you can let me chat without having to play 3 MM battles ?

Congratulations to my fellow eSports Reporter @Apost on passing his HelpSite candidacy! Well deserved ?

Hey, thanks for the feedback! It's what I prefer when parkouring; I'm not that good at controlling Hornet to be honest, so Wasp is my go-to. It depends on the person, and you're right - I should have also included Hornet.

Honestly, if I had time to and a could gather a few of my old parkour buddies to join in, why not? It would surely be a fun and exciting experience, and yes, I would have the answers faster. But since this is crunch time for me at school and I also have tons of helper responsibilities, I believe abstention would be best to ensure that I perform well in school and keep bringing out the paper as needed. Hopefully, next year, I'll have also gotten a new computer and will have more time, and then, I will try and see if I can participate! ?

Avoidable questions are subjective. What is another thing that is subjective?

Agreed, science wins. However, the only issue at hand is sometimes the science can be unclear. It's not pure physics problems after all... ?

I have read a lot of comments about the tricks being luck-based. However, I myself would have to argue that tricks are not exactly luck-based; you need to know what combination would allow you to get a certain height and velocity and then apply it using physics, therefore making it a quick thinking and physics-based contest over a luck-based contest. Of course, there will be some who disagree. Because of this, I am thinking of making a newspaper article dissecting each and every challenge of the Parkour Survival Contest and determining whether the trick in question is luck-based or physics-based. Whenever the contest concludes, if someone could send be some unedited clips of their tricks, that would be highly appreciated. Thanks ?

Thanks for the positive feedback all! Would love to; if I could get some videos or something (as this poor potato would not be able to handle much parkour ?), I think that would be great! It certainly would be a fun and challenging paper to write. I did parkour before, but this was waaaay back, when my computer could handle tanki decently, hence the extra hours on my account ?

Quick reminder that the form will close early (22nd) so that results are processed by the 23rd; that way, you will receive prizes before the Halloween Sales.

Congrats to @MR.S_H_K_S_B_E_R on becoming Event Helper Candidate! Good luck ?

I dunno, probably nothing cake? I had chocolate last year; it was delicious ?
