Thanks! :)

Another new Article, this one about TWG. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=310374&p=5403091

That's it. for a while, guys! I'm in the process of writing a Kit Review but it'll take time, thanks for staying patient! :)

The Truth About TWG. I'm sure many of you people must have heard about TWG, a group who spammed the Off-Topic of tankers who enjoyed writing (more so, about Tanki) and wanted to see where they could go in Tanki, with their writing, hopefully leading to getting chosen as a Reporter or Wiki Editor. TWG recently closed down after a lot of controversy. I lost a lot of respect for some Members after the whole 'Plagiarism issue.' TWG basically collapsed, with Members who shamefully ditched TWG after they realised they were a minority. I honestly can't put it in any better words, than greyat when he called some of the Members of TWG, 'Rats jumping a sinking ship.' Couldn't agree any more with it, it was 100% true, the cowardliness shown by some Members (not naming names). Since I was a Member of the TWG, I know some of the behind-the-scenes actions and what happened. I thought that it might be worth shedding the light on some of the information regarding TWG. Yes, I understand that this isn't one of my slightly light-hearted Articles/Guides, this will probably be quite a controversial Article/Topic, including points that you may or may not agree with. 1. The PM's. I must say, all of our Leaders, Darren4Turbo, Bigtimerush_bry & personia were all good Leaders, for whatever it's worth. They are not to blame for the plagiarism issues, in my humble opinion. From what I could see, (as a Member of the TWG) they were doing quite a good job. Darren set deadlines and showed the other Leaders how everything should be organised, he was quite the 'role model' you may say. The PM's were very organised - the first post included a small message and then going straight to the point by telling us the deadline. Deadlines were firm and it wasn't appreciated if you published after the deadline. It was quite a friendly PM, with light hearted conversations, nothing too serious or offensive at all. In my PM, we had BDT constantly flooding us with his mini-Articles and 'Halloween Party Showdown' Articles. That was simply because he worked on his Articles by using the PM's, BTR used Google Docs and I used my iPad Notes. Darren would keep us in the loop and tell us deadlines and information, whilst occasionally giving us tips. 2. The 'Filtration Process.' I know, quite the funny heading but I feel like no one really 'filtered' Members, making sure that they could write an Article and if it was good, they would remain in the group, if not, they would be kicked or given another chance to produce another Article. Unfortunately, because we didn't check who were good writers and who plagiarised Articles, it basically led to the closing of TWG. We needed to see who could produce quality Articles and who couldn't. Reflecting on the past, I remember how excited I was, sending the PM to Darren with my TWG Application, hoping I would be accepted. Looking back on the past, I don't think I deserved to be a Member, my first Article was horrible - nowhere near the standard of the other writers, thankfully I improved! At that time, I thought I was producing quality Guides, I wasn't, it was very low quality Articles. I took the criticism that I received on board and I felt that I need to up my game and prove myself worthy, hoping that my second Article would be better. Right enough, I upped my game and produced a pretty decent second Article - sticking to my guns and doing some Poems, one on Maps and the other on Halloween. I felt like it was a lot better than what I had previously written. Unfortunately, within those beginning Issues, I didn't realise that they would not only be the most controversial for myself, but ultimately for the whole TWG. Within those two Issues, the Article which was copied from the Wiki, the Contest that copied TNT's Poetry Quest (which was hidden by the Author), the Article that copied a song and the Article that actually copied my Article was in. It should have been filtered then and there. In saying that, the Leaders could never have predicted the problems they would later face. 3. The 'Rats Jumping a Sinking Ship.' After Fen's post, the TWG basically imploded, it really rocked the TWG. Our Co-Leader was so embarrassed of us (even though he was the one who had a plagiarised Article) that he completely ditched us and sucked up to the Newspaper team. Lham could pretty clearly see the sucking up business and retaliated with some sarcasm, after that, majority of the TWG left from embarrassment or were kicked for making plagiarised Articles. The Article on how to report someone, which was clearly copied from the Wiki, was disgraceful, I couldn't believe that someone would copy and paste ... literally. Despite people getting upset at the Reporters, the Reporters were right to attack the Authors of the plagiarised Articles but they should not have spoken so generally. Not one Reporter showed sympathy to the people who didn't plagiarise. At the end, the final TWG team was probably the best. TWG was a pretty good group, we did pretty well, publishing almost 10 Issues but towards the end, people stopped publishing, which led to TWG being closed. 4. Special Mentions. To me, I feel like the people who did not have plagiarised Articles, deserve a mention. The people were; Darren4Turbo, personia, KillerGnat, DestroyerPdox, Bigtimerush_bry and BlueDragon_tamki (excluding his first Article). Darren and personia were great Leaders, not forgetting BTR, too. Darren set the bar for Leadership, BTR continued it and personia really handled the plagiarism problems well. They need to be acknowledged because they were good Leaders and role models. 5. My Choices. I feel like many of you would wonder why I left, I tried to explain it but I left not to run away from controversy but to just get away from all the stress. For me, deadlines became harder to stick to, due to a lack of time and I feel like I worked better, individually. TWG was a great learning curve for me and hopefully showed my potential and others' potential for hopefully, future Reporter Candidacy. Thank you for reading this long Article, feel free to share your opinions below, I just wanted to share my opinions on TWG, I felt like TWG followers deserved to know some extra information. To all you positive TWG followers, I thank you, for you guys have fuelled our imagination, confidence and passion. To our haters, thank you for making us strive to do better, we can take some constructive criticism. And to people who decided to mock TWG making Articles to embarrass TWG, don't do it, it's not helping anyone, please stop with the ridiculous topics to mock TWG, we have done fairly well together, producing Articles much better than you may be able to write, so don't mock talent. Don't mock the hours we spend, trying to become a Reporter or Wiki Editor, you're not helping anyone, understand that. If there's one thing you take from this Article, remember that.

Stewy! :D Wanna join the Club? Application on front page. :)

I gotta admit I wanna see how TNT will respond to this.

Welcome. :)

Yes, Faulkner is a good death bowler and he did bowl brilliantly against Pakistan but this is India, not Pakistan, India has faced Faulkner so much now, they know his game and his leg cutter out the back of the hand can be read easily (trust me, Daniel and I like to use the leg cutter a lot against each other but we've seen it so much that we can always pick it). Tye and Hastings haven't played India often, India doesn't know how they bowl. Remember how Kohli couldn't play Tye? Also, you actually haven't seen Hastings in his heyday, he's superb at the death. In the BBL, you should've seen his spell with Boland, in their 4 overs, they hit the yorker 24/24 times, it was fantastic, Darren Sammy couldn't touch them. Hastings doesn't have slower balls that are as good as Faulkner but he hits his yorkers and his yorkers are really good. Ano would know the spell I'm taking about. And yeah, Nehra is my favourite Indian bowler atm because he's really good, his yorkers are great. Khwaja batted well, yes. li couldn't play Tye?

New Article! :D http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=310374&p=5402881

1-on-1 Interviews (feat. /) Me: What caused you to start up a YouTube Channel? /: Well, I just wanted to make videos for fun and share them with the TO community. When I was able to make YouTube count as a part-time class I went full throttle into the endeavor by buying myself some editing software and enlisting help. Me: Who have been some real inspirations for you (in real life/in Tanki): /: Some real inspirations for me, would be my family in real life and God for sure. I don't real have any in Tanki other than some of my friends via Skype. Me: Which videos do you enjoy making most? /: I love making MLG edits and LP's because they can be heavily involved in content and editing depending on the type of edit. It's so much fun to see your work when its finished. Me: When did you start uploading videos to YouTube? /: I started uploading on July 22nd 2015, it's been around 7.5 months. :) Me: What is your favourite Turret/Hull Combo? /: Ooooh! I like Twins/Viking but Rail/Viking is equally fun. If I had to choose one...Maybe Twins/Viking for the mass destruction! Me: What rank were you, when you started recording? / I started recording at Major General () on my main ( with M2 Twins/Viking and Urban. Me: Thank you for taking your time to do this Interview, do you have any last words to some of your fans/Subscribers? /: I'm surprised I have any "fans." I just make videos for people to enjoy, but to everyone who enjoys my content; thanks for the continued support, I love to see people smiling and laughing regardless of the amount :) I would just like to tell you, readers about this Interview, for myself. So, TTW is a brilliant YouTuber, sitting on almost 600 Subscribers at the moment. He is a very down to Earth guy, he's really friendly and funny. You can clearly see just how humble he is, especially from the last question. He loves to engage with viewers, he uses audio and occasionally a Face Cam, he's a really pro Twins/Viking and Rail/Viking/Hornet player. I would like everyone here to check out his YouTuber Channel - just click on the image up top, under the heading, it is hyperlinked to his Channel. He's a really funny and great guy, loves a laugh can keeps everything in his Channel relatively clean. I definitely recommend checking his Channel out, he's very active.

Don't worry, he's my friend (irl) and Co-Leader. In our PM he said that Coulter-Nile and Faulkner bowled horribly, which led to our defeat.

^+ I reckon we lost due to horrible selections; Tye and Hastings. NEITHER got a match or over to play, wth? They're such good bowlers, Tye has 9 different slower balls and no one knows how to play him bc he's new, even Kohli struggled against him is Australia. Kohli couldn't get under his slower balls, he was the only one who Kohli struggled to play, giving him a slight psychological edge. Think about it, replace Coulter-Nile with Tye and replace Faulkner for Hastings and BAM - we'd have won. Because Hastings would bat at Faulkners position, Faulkner could barely keep a 100 strike rate whilst Hastings thrives off pace, he'd have slogged us to a win probably, those few runs would've mattered. Kohli isn't familiar with neither Hastings nor Tye, imagine they bowled at the death, replacing Coulter-Nile & Faulkner's horrible 2.1 overs between them. And selections lost Aussies the match. Also, we shouldn't have caught Yuvraj Singh, great catch but they should've kept him in. Special mentions must go to Nevill - batted like a legend in those 2 balls he faced, those 2 balls were Faulkner's full total. You can't make a run-a-ball 10 in those crucial overs, horrible batting. It all boils to those moments and selections.

He said that in my PM, too, he refuses to change the details for us, we wanted to make it Major-Gen, and he says NO, we won't change it because we have no Commanders, they're all Gens (our best XP/BP players). He just so arrogant, it's really worrying that he's a leader with so much attitude. Confidence is one thing, arrogant is something else.

GL! :)

Some issues here. http://en.tankiwiki.com/Passes Under Premium: you called it a Pro Battles Pass but it should just be Pro Battle Pass. Does PRO need all capitals too? Clan should start with Capital Letter? SMP's should have 'EXP' instead of 'XP.

Okay, good news! Expect two new Articles coming soon, one is quite controversial and the other is a nice Interview with a YouTuber. :)

Smartcric is good. I can see it from my normal TV though, Ano and Kyle knows what I mean, it comes on a regular basic channel for us. I also have an Indian set top box that allows me to see Start Sports HD. Imagine trying to categorise Yuvi's bowling style; left arm orthodox/medium straight crap that doesn't spin at all. That's how I'd define it.

Ohh, but you support Australia? Aussies going well! Khawaja off to a flyer! P.S: 1:16 AM for me atm. Can we please get a Like on the front page please, guys?

Where are you from?

YES! Afghanistan wins! Watched the last 2 overs, great bowling from that offie, lucky though. Great catch from that guy too. I don't know Afghani players' names, lol.

I want Afghanistan to win, go Afghanistan! Idk why but I like barracking for underdogs. Pff, India will win, Aussies will lose, even though I want them to win. My uncle and everyone is here for dinner, staying up for the 1am Match!

Touching photo, looks great.
