last I check the topic was about pointing out what's ugly in tanki, not about being funny <_<

1st off, I have to hand it out to you for being better than the RL reporters I face off up here in RL for coming to realise the lacunae of reporters on your own .. for that you got my full respect 2nd , great initiative, and shame that it hasn't been done before in a more efficient manner. And i'm talking about giving the readership a say in what type of articles and topics should come out in the coming editions. I suggest while its still fresh off to make a pinned topic somewhere in news section about it, and lay out a template of how readers should propose / make requests, and may be even if an idea got accepted inform them that someone is covering it and its coming in this next edition, kinda make you a little bit impatient for the next release :D And now for the tragic part, which is about: Sorry mate, but I've been around for 3 years, early avid reader of the tanki press who later went on to be a casual reader who just hand-pick articles he reads and barely interact on the topics, and from experience, sorry to bash, but tanki press has mostly been about pretty stories, narrative stuff, making novels and nice plots etc, guides, comparative opinions of the writer on game objects and mechanics, interviews, contests, quizzes, etc, and and only very few actual factual reports. Not saying there wasn't any, just saying that it didn't look like the main business was about to constantly bring that news scoop which no one knew nothing about until it got published. I've also noticed that over time there has been a greater and greater disconnect from reporters and the news source like the devs and other admins and key figures, something which the first generations of reporters had more than today's ones I got to painfully admit. So please, fix it :( Another lacking thing, and this one has truly been lacking all the way for the most part of the press history, is analytical reports and predictions (based on sound facts of course). No tanki doesn't has to be an economic marketplace to write analytically! It doesn't need to be about over complicated stuff, e.g. just get in touch with some devs, get some numbers, draw a simple graph and discuss about how we came from having barely 40k players online at peak time to over 130k in just that short time, where are we heading, what does it mean in terms of server capacity and technology, how does that trend compare to others in the industry, and what does it mean for us tankers. All that can be achieved in simple terms in a short but meaningful articles. And if the above example is too complex, then why not speculate about the new objects being introduced in the game, like hammer, and the up-coming machine gun and the paints that will go with these, and speculate about how this will affect the tankmen community and the in-game balances, the in-game economy, perhaps clans and their clan wars, etc etc etc... oh and btw, know who would be a great guy to interview about that? Well nutty is by nature always open to talk about stuff, so just knock on his door and bribe him with some nuts or something and you get your great news scoop ;)

Hi there:) You can join a clan at any rank in the game, some will preffer higher rank, and some will require a bigger garage inventory. More instructions on how to join a clan here http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=222412 GL DS

Je Suis Charlie :( In the good times, in the bad times, you're forever our bro and we're forever your

Mafio and I were chatting earlier on skype and we concluded that perhaps you should do the intro the way the vsaucers do it B) https://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce

^ This is Firebird M1 I don't see batman kissing this thing in the movie, cause it is so ugly wearing a Firebird M1 on the face to deny everyone giving you a kiss, even a weirdo in fancy pointy latex suit!! End of Discussion !

ehehh :D i see those wings proved useful .. **cough** abuse of redbulls does gives wings but with side effects **coughs**

flag bearers, flag carriers, flag holder , ...... etc etc etc so many ways to describe the same thing, only that flagman is shortest way to say the same thing and "length of words/terms" do matter a lot on the battlefield :ph34r:

Please read how tot make parkour clubs here ---> Parkour Clubs Rules & Information

hello guys, just interjecting the terms we've been using as commentators on past live streams of battles in various competitions stalemate has been one of the ways we've described this position stand-off situation is perhaps the one me and fellow commentator buddy @GoldRock have used the most deadlock is another term we've used on a few occasions in recent eSports past the most interesting stand-offs we've seen had been from the likes of teams like ex-Noobest or ex-Scorpions when they were being stalled by the opposing team holding their flag, specially in Kungur where such stand-offs can get really long and the strategies to return the flags varies so much in just 1 round, with teams constantly improvising, and on quite some occasions we've seen some choosing to send 5 people to return a flag, while the other team defends, but let lose 1 killer wasp who'll do the returning job on his own or "prepare the field" for a wave of 3 or more guys who'd rush in there as soon as they're done fending off the other teams attackers ,,, tough job !! Another notable mention would be Arm pride vs A&D on the map Red Alert where things go much much more quicker, but also the flagman gets more intricate places to hide and sneak around evading shots from enemies, ninja style :ph34r:

I play with my shaft on average once each 3 months :lol: , and for that my little M0 with some drugs does bring me some good satisfaction :blush: and joy against those unaware M3 hornets and wasps ;)

na bro you're confusing it with needle ... my pyjama paint really was made from those virgin places where modernity and arts haven't struck yet. That's why its that basic

looking forward :fire_l:

damn it :blink: it really is the same thing :blink: meesa so slow edit: but na, you only started using this from around issue 22-24, which is not so long ago for someone who's been reading since the 1st issues. I think it was a + and added a nice touch to have these new fresh background each time IMO and really liked it, would certainly be pleased seeing them back again :)

My big fat :wub: Titan Latte :wub:

lets go find that star series team who'd make it to the final stages with a black square as a logo and may be through "fan paints" we'll get the chance to wear black pyjamas :P no imma flame you up here guy-with-a-cooler-avatar-than-mine. What exactly is ugly with dictator? come on, tell us.. and don't you dare say noob things like hey the turret is back mounted and it got a weird long front-end that goes down in a slope etc etc etc .. these aren't factors of ugliness .. and don't bring M0 and M1 features to the table, cause other tanks at M0 and M1 look equally appalling.

As for paints , :angry: :angry: will never ever forgive you for completely missing my "pyjama outfit"

oh and to add the only ugly turret in the game is M1 firebird. its in a class of its own and doesn't even need to have isida or twins on the same podium of ugliness when uglybird M1 is standing on the top march. I agree fully with what you wrote about it, and yeah, shame they took the old blueish and even the purple flame colour out .. on that note, old freeze M3's shower looked way better than what we have now.. perhaps we could see change to these graphics now that isi n rail's firing visual have been reworked

same old article, new reporter, new criticism of "ugliness" ... just delighted this time mammoth was recognised for its awful looks and titan :wub: wasn't bashed like how many of the old reporters used to bash it saying it was ugly bla bla, just cause back then mammoth was the strongest tank in the game PS: i think hunter M0 and M1 does look not to pretty at all as well .. but M2 onwards is alright

bit surprised to see this background used again el ham, think i've seen it in one of the past editions but that aside, i think i never took the opportunity before to mention how i like your custom background images for each issue keep that up, i like :)

its next year already and I can' wait to see that balalaika dance from semyon :fire_r: :fire_r: happy new year everyone :fire_l: Looking forward to that planned "full scale clan support"

Count 1 - You can request to see a copy of your karma with the admin. I'm sure the "lies" issue will be sorted out quickly through that Count 2 - In that vlog it says its not about karma, but karma do still maintain its significance and importance when verifying who is going to be given additional extra moderating powers, and if your karma doesn't satisfy the admin s/he is free to reject you solely on that Count 3 - Your very post is proof that the admin in question was right on all counts, including experience/knowledge. Any potential applicant is expected to know the Game Rules very well, and thus you should have known about the clauses about slander and unconstructive criticism against the game staff. Wish you better luck next time if you're applying in future and hope you follow the few advices above

The sick pleasure I get from this pwning by M0 is far from being disappointment m8, I find therapeutic ^_^

hah yele you nuub ,, check out my shaft, fully MU'd babe B)
