Yeah "nobody asked for it" but that's just how it is. Attention spans are alarmingly short nowadays. Ever wondered why YouTube Shorts is becoming so popular? If they explain the whole thing in one episode, players won't pay attention to the stuff that the Developers want to convey because they'll either get bored within the first few minutes or just move on and watch another YouTube video. One cannot compare that data directly to MM... Check this out (just a clip from the latest V-LOG): https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxGREQ0oBduCJXkRPguuCBrhRVk1-jc7RT The frequency and number of players leaving battles in the event modes is a direct indicator — if the frequency is high, and if the players who are leaving don't have strong equipment in general, it is safe to conclude that the removal of equipment-change is negatively affecting gameplay, at least for those who leave. Or, if those players who generally dominate in battles start leaving (mainly because most enemies might be having immunities or protection modules to counter their equipment), even then one can conclude that there's some negative impact. I'm pretty sure that the Developers can easily obtain this data...

Oh just wait until you watch it... That particular scene is quite... um... nvm just watch it Uh oh. You forgot to remove ego while creating your wrestler. Too bad, deal with it. ?

24CPDBBWAF demands speedy victory, but for that the tournament needs to start. No pressure.

Well duh — you explained an (un)intentional pun, puny admin! ?

@Maf where yor monster

Well, tank7 (kinda) answered it quite well, but I'm still unconvinced cuz I've been discussing this with a friend of mine on Discord too Maybe wait for another answer ig and then close? ?

NAME: 24-Carrot Photosynthetic Diamond With Big(-ish) Butterfly Wings & AMOGUS Feet (or 24CPDBBWAF) AGE: idk it just evolved into this from Photosynthetic Photo (previous Forum Wrestling Tournament, went poof), so maybe 3 hours? NO. OF HAIRS: Zero bruh why u insult that epic carrot head ? SUPERPOWAS: 24-Carrot Diamond for bedazzling and bamboozling enemies with sheer optic brilliance; AMOGUSTM shoes with sus properties; Purple Butterfly Wings to blow your mind away; Carrot-head for eating sometimes, he do be needing that energy ?; green face for Photosynthesis to generate more carrot #SoPog MORE INFO: He's colorful hence you stand no chance.

100% I spawned, and by the time I reached the enemy base on Sandbox, the enemy Juggernaut had killed me with a single shot - no one else involved. This happened at least twice. In fact, it happened multiple times when I was using Hornet Max (Trickster 17/20, Armadillo Mk7-2), which is why I got frustrated and changed to Viking.

Interestingly, in one of the TJR battles, when I asked "how one-shot?" in the chat, the enemy Juggernaut replied "cheats )". I apologize for not providing enough details. I used Trickster drone (17/20, 92.5% passive boost to BA), Viking (Mk7-6, 2753 armor), and Armadillo (Mk7-2, 37%). MM battles are more than 10 minutes long, which is enough time for a Battle Mod to join the battle and observe any violation of the Game Rules, in my honest opinion. The "Vote" option exists to inform Battle Mods in real time whenever there's a violation. Also, I couldn't record a video for multiple reasons (very low FPS, weak internet, etc.). Anyway, I was (am) lazy and didn't have enough knowledge of how critical damage works, so I am at fault. However, I don't regret voting the player who actually said "cheats" when I asked him about his suspicious one-shotting ability.

Nope, I was using Trickster (17 or 18 upgrades, not sure - but definitely more than 15, which gives a significant boost to BA)...

Hello! A few days ago, I voted some Juggernauts in TJR mode because they were able to destroy my tank (Viking) in a single shot even though I had Boosted Armor active along with Armadillo (36%). According to me, it is impossible to deal enough damage to destroy a medium hull with just 1 shot. Even if it's a critical shot, 36% protection is more than enough to ensure that it takes at least 2 shots. So, 1) Am I wrong? 2) If I have missed any update, I apologize for voting players unnecessarily. Please explain the changes to me, thanks!

Rumor has it that Lose still doesn't know "what he should name this". This particular piece is giving me some ideas...

Reread this after a year... fantastic! D'you plan to write more horror stories, Lose?

Well... their loss ? Also, thanks for calling it a song!

im much likey interfes :)

Ah yes, aged like a wad of chewing gum that flies out of your mouth instead of turning into a bubble...

Next time, I guess! @Bydo @mjmj5558 @At_Shin @GEORGIAN_G4MER @Thankxtu @madmancaryparkor @Tidebreaker @brainhoo @ZivOfficial I'll submit the pic(s) on our behalf to avoid repeated submissions! Thanks for coming! <3

Can we use the <Holiday> paint since it has a festive look which matches the theme?

Thank you so much for such wonderful and heartwarming messages! It does feel good to know that I'll be remembered and respected for what I did as a Helper - but all of that would have never happened if I hadn't received criticism, feedback, and support from you all. <3 Aight Forumods, if you still close leaving topics nowadays, feel free to do so. If you don't close such topics in the Writers' Corner, then I'd be very grateful if could leave this topic unlocked. Thanks for being amazing!

I've retired recently. I was a Newspaper Reporter (EN), Social Media Helper (EN), and Wiki Content Writer (EN). Here's my goodbye topic (if you guys add it to the list for non-admins ): https://en.tankiforum.com/topic/394646-i-am-retire-goodbye-all/ Being a Helper of this game was very fun and enjoyable, but it's now time to focus on real life. :D EDIT: Since the Newspaper is now closed, you can add all Reporters to the list. For EN - kaisdf (admin), Person_Random (admin), Tidebreaker, Pythor, LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH, Hippin_In_Hawaii, Iron_Man (add him to Forum Mods too), 20H12 (previously, "Dynasty; FR Manager), Regency (FR Manager) angeclown (FR), Sabry.Superman (see below).

The title is a world-famous-among-Helpers quote by Destrod, a former Reporter. Please do not change it, Forum Mods ? Uhh yes, I am retiring from all of my Helper positions in the next 2-3 days (maybe sooner, idk). I really need to start focusing on my education now and I won't be able to manage both real and virtual lives... Not many know this, but I was rejected for Assistant back in December 2020 when I had first tried to become a Helper, and then I applied for Newspaper Reporter. Since then, I've worked in two more positions, Social Media Helper and Wiki Content Writer. My Newspaper career was short, but it was fun while it lasted. Newspaper Reporter is one of the best positions to have ever existed, at least for me, and I am very glad that I could be a part of the Newspaper team! Wiki Content Writing was less writing, more multing, but I still enjoyed the experience of working behind the scenes on the Wiki. It was getting quite lonely in the Content Writing department until CREATOR77 showed up, and this past month was very fruitful because of Creator's activity. He also passed his candidacy today, by the way! 'Gratz! My SM career... full of ups and downs, but still very fun. Warning/muting/banning players on Discord does lead to bad blood between moderators and the punished (players)... but that's normal. I'm still grateful to everyone who fought with me, argued with me, insulted me, ridiculed me, and even loathed me — you helped me understand different perspectives better and made me a better human being! Just interacting with you all on Discord changed me from within, expanded my world view, made me question some of my core beliefs, and so much more! All of this helped me to simply become a better human being, and so I'm grateful. I would also like to apologize if I hurt you — those punishments were nothing personal. I've even had to punish good friends of mine because that's just how life works. I'm not sorry for punishing you, but I'm definitely sorry if I hurt you in any way. If you are someone who liked me, appreciated my work, gave me constructive feedback, and supported me, then thank you! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! It is never easy to do something if everyone is against it — but if there's even one person who thinks you're doing the right thing, it's enough to keep you going, and I'm no exception to this. Thank you for being such amazing people! I will probably leave the game and the Forum too when my college starts on 14th February, but you can still contact me on Discord. My display nickname in the TO server will always have either "Venerable" or "Photo", and my Discord tag will always be "Photophosphorylation". It has been a wonderful year as a Helper, and a little more than a year as a community member (I joined the Forum quite late :p ). I'm just so happy that I could be here in this community! Alas, life rudely reminded me that it exists, and all went haywire lol. Leaving won't change my life much... I will still be a procrastinator, and I will still struggle with assignments and stuff — but at least I won't have to worry about extra things that don't concern my education much! I won't thank anyone in particular, as such actions can often hurt those who don't get mentioned... So just know that I am grateful to you all for simply being there! Whether we've been friends or enemies, I think both parties gained a little something from our interactions, and that's what matters! Off I go back into the world, Leaving this wonderful place My life's sail is now unfurled, And my life is gaining pace. I take your leave and say goodbye But don't feel bad and please don't cry Just laugh and rejoice, perhaps I'm not dead yet — not gonna lie... I'm grateful, my friends, to all of you Thank you, thank you, I bid you adieu! I'm now moving on and so must you! No, I won't be back in a week or two. >:( Much thanks, much love, much good wishes! Bye bye! ?
