HBTY: you could have used something like 'recommended' or ''suggested'. Unless I'm getting the wrong context clues, those words are a little more accurate.

Good idea, but does that mean that I can't sneak up on people with my Freeze anymore? Aww, it just takes away the purpose of it. -_- On the other hand, it would be pretty fun! Now instead of just using a Hunter's Overdrive and Freeze to slow down tanks, I can use the pump to slow them too! And think of all the cool strategies people would make with the pump! Question: What was Riddler's 'Golden Tank' idea? I saw it in the comments and it sounded kind of cool. :rolleyes:

Sounds fun! Hope you get in! No, my first account's name is something that you probably shouldn't know. ;) I lost it when I was near a Staff Sergeant, so no one knows it.

What-? Forum clans exist? That's weird. :huh: That's pretty good luck on your part. My first clan kicked me out after one day for no reason. -_-

... Are you a clan hopper? Why would you abandon your Euler clan position? Sorry for the questions, but why?

Exactly *get ready for it* zero maps left! Congratulations, HBTY! *Clap clap clap* What's next on your schedule?

Okay, I feel like I'm intruding onto this very deep discussion on math, but I personally think that math is awesome. (Although my mind might change once I see all of that senior math you guys have to do.) Then again, the Magnum is a mathematical turret, and I don't like it, so I guess there are some parts in math I don't really like.

Whoo! Congrats! Rift is next... the bars are fun to play balance on. Wait a sec, Rift doesn't have too much stuff you can conquer... -_- Just the edges of the map.

Question: Why are you smiling because I left? Also, I go afk alot, which is probably why... :unsure:

Oh, you're already in a clan? Sorry :blush: .

I didn't start out with Firebird/Wasp :P . Probably the only guy who didn't. Don't you ever try to get a higher K/D and join a clan? I'd like to watch you conquer a map- I'm a Private in a clan, so I don't need to buy a battle pass ;) .

People use their brains for almost everything. Is water wet?

I recommended Tanki to a friend, and he quit playing after 7 exp. That's just proof on how confusing Tanki gets after the years. Then again, I almost quit myself, because remember how a while back, some maps were night-themed? My first game was on a night-themed Polygon battle, and it got so confusing for me to be hit by tanks in the dark. ;) But overall, nice poem! (Sorry about all that background information I shoved in there.)

*Round of applause* Lose, your stories are awesome! Thanks for sharing them in AWS. ^_^

But you can hide comments, can't you? Edit the first comment to contain both, and hide the second one. Anyway, my second work is being moderated (it's a short story!). Question: Can I friend you on Tanki?

The battle around me was filled with the continuous hiss of a Firebird's spray, the powerful whoomp of a Gauss flying through the air, and the screech of a Shaft making a successful snipe. I spawned on the blue team's side of the hill, on my fifth life, looking around to see if anyone was in need of healing. Both teams were equally matched, with one flag captured each. I toggled on a Speed Boost, and climbed out of my dent in the ground. Boom. Almost instantly, a Thunder shot at me, leaving a dark spot about two feet away. He was rolling towards me with his high-and-mighty Dictator, recharging another shot. Under its wheels was a dark indent that suggested it blew up a mine while coming for me. I stabbed the R key to see his protection modules. Firebird, Isida, Freeze... Wow, this guy really doesn't like short-range turrets, does he? Thunderleaf can handle him better than I can... hopefully. Leaf, I have the flag. Meet me at the Repair Kit drop zone. Thunderleaf's message popped up in the chat. Come on, I can't hold off half of the red team for long! I gave one last glance to the austere Dictator/Thunder, then sped off toward my buddy, toggling on a Double Armor on the way. Five tanks - a Smoky, an Isida, a Freeze, and two Firebirds - were chasing him. I slid myself between the two teams and proceeded to destroy the Wasp/Smoky in seconds. Apparently hearing Thunderleaf's plea, a Hornet helped us with their overdrive. The other four tanks piled themselves on top of me, hitting me with all of their short-range might. As a Hunter, I went down easily, but Thunderleaf wasn't done yet. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Thunderleaf activated his Viking Overdrive and blasted the remaining four tanks off the map. He then turned to the Dictator/Thunder that attacked me earlier, and blasted him too. Apparently, my sacrifice had given him the few vital seconds to charge it up. Thanks, Thunderleaf! I called in the chat, but we weren't out of the woods yet. As I spawned on my sixth life, a chill passed through me. I used another Speed Boost to catch up with Thunderleaf. I kept a wary eye on my surroundings, and saw, thanks to the Hornet's Overdrive, that there was a Gauss aiming at us. I threw myself in front of him again, hoping to block the coming attack (a healer should show altruism to other tanks, after all). I jammed a hand on the Double Armor supply and waited for the Gauss hit me with it's snipe. Xx_Thunderleaf_xX has dropped a gold box, the message screen read. What? How could I have dropped a gold box? Then realized it. My finger had slipped while going for the Double Armor, and pressed 6, the number for Gold Boxes. However, that had created a diversion for the Gauss, who slowly rolled toward the drop zone. I sighed in relief, my earlier disquietude fading, and caught up with Thunderleaf. He rolled his last few paces, then... Thunderleaf has captured enemy's flag. Whoo! I cheered. After everything, we'd successfully captured the flag for our team, ranking first and second on the leaderboard. With both of our overdrives fully charged to 100%, we rolled to the gold box drop zone. Hunter/Isida and Viking/Thunder, both fully charged, with only 30 seconds left in the game. Ready? I asked in the chat, teeming with excitement. The gold box that I'd dropped shone above us, in it's idyllic but exigent form. Without waiting for an answer, I unleashed my overdrive, an electromagnetic pulse, and stunned most of the red team in one blow. Go for it. I grinned. This was going to be quite an ending. With Double Damage, Thunderleaf unleashed a whirlwind of attacks (or should I say a storm of attacks?) on the stunned red team. His overdrive fired up, quickly clearing the drop zone of the red team. A greedy Dictator/Twin jumped forward to catch the box, and we let him. After all, the battle we just played amounted to more than a gold box would ever worth to us. Author's Note: Thanks for reading! Sorry if this isn't as good as my poem, but I think it's a pretty solid story. While some parts of this story was based on real events in battles, most of it was a product of my imagination. Oh, and sorry for adding in a few arcane words (see what I did there?), I hope you didn't have to go running for the dictionary too many times, if at all!

Mold or bold. Opulent (This is actually a real word... unless I spelled it wrong...)

Question: Don't you ever screw up your K/D in Parkour? But otherwise, wow, that is some amazing parkour skills. (16 fps= ouch.) Nice view you got there on top of that building :o .

Never heard of it, so no. PPAP (Just kidding, unless that's your favorite song, then wow, I'm a mind reader :D) Old Town Road?

Ew, no. (No offense, sorry) Um, Blue?

No way! 4?
