Hey all, I wanted to take a moment to thank the team behind the Tanki Thinking Challenge for putting in so much work on it. I think I can speak for everyone if I say that they've done a splendid job of keeping the community happy and entertained.

What you should be considering is how such a small team is doing so much.

Actually, wiki editors do their best to update the wiki as soon as the changes go live. They don't have a system for saving "Draft" versions of pages to publish later, so they can only update a page AFTER the change goes live. You also have to bear in mind that: 1. updating a wiki page is a major pain in the butt and 2. Wiki editors are volunteers and they have their regular jobs/studies/duties to take care of, which sometimes take precedence over updating the wiki.

Posted official team rankings and recording of livestream in official post.

While I understand where you're coming from, there's a very big assumption that you're making here, that is regrettably very very wrong — the assumption that a problem in a game might be a small thing to fix. Although I'm not a programmer myself, I can tell you with absolute certainty that in software development, a "simple thing to fix" is virtually non-existent. You might think that lifting the skybox destruct limit might be just a matter of inputting new parameters. You'd be wrong. Lifting that limit opens up a whole can of worms. In game development, things are even more delicate. You change one parameter, and another five go flying out the window. You fix one thing, you break another ten. Remember, this game was built years ago by a team who were still at their first experiences with game development. They had no idea or concept of scaling, and the technology and approach they used at the time is nowadays outdated. What's more, the game has received hundreds of updates big and small, and all those layers just add to the complexity. So, while I understand your wish for our developers to fix all of these "minor" annoyances, you have to understand that not even fixing the smallest one is anywhere close to simple. As for developers focusing on big tasks, you are right, that's exactly what they're doing, except that there are currently more than one big project. From where you're standing it's hard to see why they would be investing so much time and energy into these projects (such as the clan system, the matchmaking system, etc), and unfortunately I am unable to go into the details of the why and how just yet. All I can tell you is that the bigger picture —when you're in a position to see it— makes sense; a lot of sense. There are a number of steps we need to take in order to complete that picture, and some of them (like making the "Create" button a Pro feature only) might not be so popular at first. But in the end, I assure you it will all fall into place. And once those things are taken care of, we can start pestering our devs to fix that bloomin' sky box limit so you guys can jump even higher :D

Posted the livestream link in the main post.

Since the teams have had quite a bit of time to practice, I'm expecting some pretty high performance this time.

Thanks for speaking sense :)

===IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT=== The finals of the Masters of Parkour 2016 contest will be held this Saturday, December 17th at 17:00 UTC on the official Tanki Online Youtube Channel.

@AP_Wolfwood is a colleague. I wrote the text and he posted it because I needed to go afk for an hour but wanted to post asap.

Tankers The CashU payment method is currently unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control. While the down time should be temporary, we are unable to predict when the service will be back online. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Discussion seems to have run out. Closed and archived.

===IMPORTANT=== Junior paysafecard is also accepted.

Yep! We accept Junior cards now :)

I'll definitely look into it. Thank you. UPDATE: I've checked with our legal department. The company has ALL rights for any content that is used in the game, including those images.

===New video uploaded for November 2016 Battle Mod activity===

Yes, I was actually commenting on the livestream.

Actually you ARE being warned. Nah, just kidding :D

Will take it into consideration for next time. I'm all for improving this contest, and there are always better ways to do things. I know there are things we've done in this contest that I'll be doing better next time :)

===IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION=== During the livestream, some funny guy/gal created a channel impersonating me and promising 3 gold boxes to everyone who attended the event. Unfortunately even one of our moderators was fooled by this. I want to make it clear that this is NOT going to happen. Please disregard those messages. No gold boxes will be handed out.

Actually, it wasn't I who decided on how the finals would be held. As for teams submitting videos, what's the point when that had already been done in phase 1 of the contest? The whole point of the second phase is to see how well these players can perform under pressure.

===IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT=== Hey all, Unfortunately our cameraman had some serious hardware issues and we had to call off the final and postpone it to next week. I'll be posting the exact details soon. Please accept our apologies.

Hey all. Live stream is starting soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYKMkQ3hj3g&feature=youtu.be

===IMPORTANT UPDATE – 10th December 08:00 UTC=== The final for the Masters of Parkour 2016 contest is set for TODAY, Saturday 10th December at 17:00 UTC and will be streamed LIVE on the Official Tanki Online Youtube Channel. Make sure you don’t miss it!
