In my opinion, it'll be great if you add spoilers for any content that needs too much scrolling to be read lol - so if the content crosses around 10 lines, add a spoiler...

For this event, or for future events? ?

Whoa - no LOL, it's at Mk7-3 or something... Nah I meant even if I equip Badger and/or Wolf (and BA & Armadillo), I get destroyed very easily... ? It's weird tbh.

I wasn't really an avid participant in official Contests, but I've had my share of fun times. Started off with "Comic Captions", which I believe was what brought me to the Forum in the first place! I also remember "Design an Avatar", in which I had got a consolation prize or something (by the way, this contest was the inspiration behind "Design a Helper", a Newspaper contest!). I had tried image-editing for the first time while creating my entry for this contest! And then I became a Reporter, so I didn't get a chance to participate in anything lol. But, we also had Competitor — although all of it was handled by Person_Random and Dynasty (20H12) from the Newspaper's side — and I remember how much fun everyone had. "Competitor" was an elaborate contest of sorts conducted by the Contests, Designers, and Newspaper teams together, in case you didn't know about it. It feels very bad that Contests and Events had to be discontinued... Made some amazing memories and friends along the way...

Thanks to @TheCongoSpider, I got Shaft Legacy skin after completing the June B Challenge!

First of all, how are you NOT BROKE after fully micro-upgrading Armadillo?!?!?! I'll definitely max my Armadillo before my seventy-eighth birthday. I hope. Anyway, I use Armadillo as my fourth module — it's as if I have only 3 slots for protection modules, just the way it was before the extra slot arrived. Armadillo is like a default protection thingy that is attached to the tank (sorry to those who still don't have this monstrously expensive module), but I mostly feel as if protection modules don't even work lol, given the ease with which enemy tanks destroy my tank, especially Freeze and Hammer... ?

Fascinating discussion here! In my honest opinion, Tanki is far from dead. It has become very complicated and mobile-oriented, but nah — definitely not dead. Also, I think that people (including me) have very short attention spans nowadays, and that plays a major role in deciding what they like/enjoy. The world is moving forward (I think, lol) a bit too fast, and it is difficult to keep up with all those changes in trends and mindsets. I have noticed that most of such "Tanki is dead" topics usually have two kinds of people: those who are nostalgic and simply love their "Tanki-era", and others who are relatively new and are able to enjoy the current version of Tanki (of their time). There's a third kind too — those who are able to look at the whole thing objectively irrespective of when they joined the game — but their number is very low.

OH DEAR I genuinely laughed out loud at this one! ?

Bushes don't vanish or fade away while using the scope mode of Shaft in Sandbox Remastered.

Thanks a lot for giving my poor fingers a workout! Please use spoilers lol ? Each post is a topic in itself ?

A glitch... I couldn't get a video because I was in a group and the battle loaded soon after— when I rotated my tank, the background became black behind my tank, and there was this wonderful view in the front, much like a cinema hall (or theatre, whatever you call it)!

I was tempted to say "my mom", because the only game she plays is "shut your laptop" — and boy, is she good at it! But, Spy has moved this topic to "Game Discussion" and hence here's what I think: I agree with Kydapoot when it comes to YouTubers... Ghost Animators is indeed a great player. For eSports... I don't know lol. I have seen some mind-blowing matches but apparently the players were not even at the ultra pro Max level — so top eSports players must be really good... I've heard Spy's name a lot in XP/BP though, and I've seen him play a bit. So probably Spy in the Railgun-related formats, I guess? In MM, I've seen a few exceptionally good players, and I conveniently forgot their nicknames... To be fair, their names were either borderline gibberish, or Russian... Difficult to remember such names. In Parkour, it's extremely difficult to pinpoint a single "best player of all time". And no, I am not talking about parkour fighting ? Oh, almost forgot: the best mobile player (someone who plays on the TO Mobile app) of all time, in my opinion, is TheCongoSpider. I have seen him play with Magnum with remarkable skill back when the controls were all crazy and there was no autoshooting or projectile trajectory display...

All I got to know is that you're most definitely (an advanced) bot. Seriously though, using the concepts of programming to write better is just - amazing. It's something I should be able to do, but my "computational quotient" (if that's a thing lol) is not high enough. I just can't think like a programmer when a deadline is staring into my face. I enjoy programming, but today's fast-paced world doesn't allow people like me to learn programming languages without ∞∞ stress. P.S. Is that code written in Python?

The title was perfect!

I've said this before and I'll say it again: there are plenty of better ways to complain in a slightly more civilized way without being toxic or too negative. Also, I personally believe that every single post containing useful feedback is read, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the Developers simply must do something about it. I've played plenty of matchmaking battles, fret not. I have raged and got frustrated too - I just don't like to express my raw emotions publicly without processing them. What do I expect? Civil discussions, constructive feedback, and fun - is it too much to ask? P.S. Frankly, I see no problem in anyone saying "good update" - it's their opinion, let them like the update if they want to! And yes, there may be the occasional Helper who says something nice for no particular reason, but even then... why should that be a problem? If I recall correctly, Spy had acknowledged this "issue" (of sorts) and plans to do something about it - or has probably already done something about it.

Oh, very! I think you can get a feeling of just how lively and fun this place was by going through the now-archived TO Newspaper and Forum Games sections. That we didn't quote a post while replying to it could probably be considered a decent measure of liveliness, because people actually had those fast, exciting conversations. No one waited for intermediate posts. In forum games, there was this dread floating around that someone else was going to post the next reply, and you simply couldn't let that happen... Now - well, now it's not there. It's just not there. I've been feeling quite weird on the forum recently, because even though there's not much activity, there's this subtle affinity towards negativity. People rarely react to funny, informative, kind posts, but a caustic reply to such posts gets immediate attention. It's unnerving, to be honest. But - that's probably me thinking too much. Patch notes/updates have always been posted in the "Patch Notes" section, but Marcus started posting a copy in the News & Announcements section after each update to get feedback from players - and this started in... not sure. Looks like it started here:

@NikmanGT bro what...

Happy birthday! ?

Yep, definitely dead... One whole day without a single new post! Preposterous!

Fortune favours poverty, not powerty. ?

Is that Scorpion's protection module or a new turret? ?

Dad: Are ya winning, son? Me: Well yes but actually no...

Feedback/Suggestion(s): Frankly, I expected a higher degree of customisation than before. Something like the ability to turn off protection modules, or an option to customize the turrets/hulls/drones that can be used in the battle. It would be great if these options (and anything similar) get added to PRO-battles.

Feedback: Please add this text (or anything similar) above those boxes below map name: "Players", "Time Limit", and "Flag Limit"

My idea too!1!1!1!1 Why don't you just mark all similar ideas as "Completed", and then Hazel will be "guilted" into implementing this feature? (sic) AAAAAAAA I'm happyyyyyyy
