Missed out on that, well, he stepped down from the job sometime in '19 but rejoined earlier this year. Will get a fixing with the above issue. Expect to see it fixed within 48 hours.

Congrats to @Shy on becoming an Event Administrator; well deserved ?

I didn't look at any responses in particular; I just saw that many were broken links, so you'll have to see.

Important: A lot of entries were disqualified due to spamming/broken links, so I will open the form for two more weeks. If you were unable to find an Ares of choice the first time around, then grouping is fine. Sorry for the inconvenience; the contest will end two weeks later.

Wow, congrats to @Zackery459 on becoming SM Administrator! You've worked really hard towards this promotion; well deserved! ? Sabry beat me to congratulations ?

Congrats to @JuschedRE on becoming an Event Helper Candidate. Good luck on that candidacy! And also, while I'm here, a huge congratulations to Eternity for coming from behind and winning the TOF Dream Team. Enjoy your acid paint ?

Approved. Awesome story; it was quite a light and short piece that's both random and spontaneous, hilarious to read. I really liked the tone of the speaker and the entire storyline, really funny and personal. I could definitely relate to the entire plot; my favorite part, the ending, was just perfect. Perhaps the only thing I would ask for is to make it a bit longer, but other than that, it was great. I hope to see you back in the AWS with some more great pieces soon! Edits: added/removed some commas.

I believe you missed this line.

Thanks for all the kind wishes (ahead of time, I see; our readers do not procrastinate) By the way, The age is wrong; the date is not ? Long story... one kid said I looked 13 so as to continually forget what happened after, I just turned the comment into a joke.

It's calling out my teacher in a playful and somewhat sarcastic manner ?

Thanks ? I love working hard except when its unnecessary *cough* econ teacher *cough*

Yes, both.

By the way, we're also giving out some great prizes with our classic contests - this time, Caption This. Have a witty description for our candids? Show us your skills for a chance a load of crystals! P.S. i turn 14 on the deadline; wishing me a happy birthday may or may not result in better rewards ?

I don't like to start off negative, so I'll be nice and positive to start this off. I had a holiday this week, which was awesome given that the past seven weeks of school felt like it was going in slow motion and fast motion at the same time. I got to wake up a whole two hours later, which means a lot more sleep. Also, I had more time to devote to writing articles and proofreading at odd hours that I usually would not be able to do. However, I had a ton of homework courtesy of my very kind economics teacher, so I didn't end up getting to sleep much earlier ?

Post reserved for any silly purposes I may need in the future :3

Hello, Tankers! I suppose that many of you are in school, most likely distance learning given the current times. So I decided to make a little school-talk hub for y'all to drop anything you want - it just has to be somewhat school-related. Anything. Questions and answers (on homework, exams, or school in general), funny moments, memes, rants, tunes to study to, and anything and everything in between. Enjoy! Oh, and by the way, if someone specializes in any subjects, let me know and I'll add you to the list of people to call for when anyone needs help with a certain subject. That's all from me - let's band together and survive school with each other!

Party time ?? Huge congrats to our new translators @Spy, @gio_the_killer, @Held, @ingrid10000, @EvilSnowflake on passing their candidacies. Oh, and by the way, as I was passing by, I see that we've also recruited a new translator candidate ? Congrats to @Excyte on becoming a translator candidate. Good luck on that candidacy!

I received it but haven't replied, my bad ? Will reply now.

From about mid-2018 up until this point, there has been a huge influx of new paints. We probably had around ~100 paints, with about 20 being special and unobtainable except through some means, like becoming a helper, winning an eSports or Parkour tournament, or getting lucky in a container. But now, we're hitting around 300 paints. I feel like right now, we're all being flooded with tons of paints in game. Special event? New paint. Celebrations? New paints. Special Missions? New paint. New Challenges? A baker's dozen of new paints. This leads to several issues: 1. Diversion of resources. Yes, developers and game artists would like to have a new look for skins, but when they're scrambling to make a dozen paints per month, when are they going to get the time to work on the more important projects? Creating more paints requires work, and that work that could be used to make skins for hulls and turrets or giving people a better UI for HTML5 is being used to generate more paints for Challenges. 2. Loss of value. Firstly, those that were once known as rare now have little value on the battlefield. For example, being in MM with a Helper/eSports/Parkour paint that you earned doesn't turn heads anymore. There are plenty of impersonation paints out there (cases in point) and in addition to that, there are some animated paints that distract us from the real value of some hard-earned paints. Additionally, new paints have no value either. Many of the old paints have a description, a story behind the creation of the paint, which gives it its own backstory and an incentive to wear it. But now there are dozens of paints with the typical "this is a paint that is an aesthetic coating to your tank..." description, and that doesn't really seem to instill any sense of value in the paint. 3. Loss of originality. Though many of the helper and award impersonation paints were not created with an intent to copy the paint, there are some paints which I feel like are very similar in nature. I fear that the team that is in charge of paints is running out of ideas, which will affect what I said in the first point. As developers need to spend more time coming up with original paints, they will end up with less time to advance the game. 4. Lack of realism. When I started playing a few years back, I used to own Green, Holiday, and White for camouflage purposes to take the flag unnoticed. Now, when I enter the battle, there are tanks wearing so many different colors: pink, purple, blue, red, orange, basically any color you name, it's there on the battlefield. It's not realistic like the darker/camo colors of the older times, which I feel is another issue. The game no longer resembles a tank game when the majority of players are flying rainbows, not driving tanks in camo. These are the issues with so many paints, but I feel that they are solvable. Here's what I propose: - New paints should only be added with an important and valid reason. For example, a paint can be created to commemorate Tanki's birthday, but not to fill up some open slots in challenges. This reduces the amount of paints added to games, which I feel will increase the value of paints. - Supply garage/shop paints in challenges. Over time, that would mean more and more people would come to own the paint, so one could also substitute it with the alternative reward of a set amount of crystals or a container for those who have already obtained the paint (or even a paint container, which allows a player to obtain a random paint ?). - Find a way to reduce the number of extraneous paints. While it could just be kept here with tons of extra paints, I feel like players might like it if they were allowed to trade in their paints for crystals or had their dozens of challenge paints removed at a value, for instance, 20k crystals per paint. (This only applies to regular challenge paints) While the last idea might be less valid than the first two, please consider my suggestion. I feel that paints are starting to lose their value among the players. I hope that the solutions provided above might be helpful for both developers and players. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Not all things in life make sense. By the way, isn't it funny that "this topic will never be closed" forum game just closed?
