Yay I ranked up in Forest eSports maps in the central pit... I rented a spectator from this amazing RaS service for the rank up: [Graphics took all the pics ?] Dropped a few golds afterwards: Thank you Graphics!

I ranked up in Forest eSports map on top of a few friends in the central pit. Epic, innit? The wonderful spectator who took this picture is @Graphics from the Rent-A-Spec service. ?

You might have participated in contests like "Continue the Story" or written a story based on some cues given in an English exam. This time, we have a contest for you with a similar concept, but with a twist - the beginning won't be given to you. You'll be given just the ending, and you will have to construct a story that ends with a certain set of words... Intrigued? Read on! ~ * ~ * ~ Task You have to write a story based on the given endings ("start" a story). You will have 4 endings to choose from - you can choose any ONE of them. Once you begin your story, keep in mind that you have to end it using the any one of the given endings only. Do not change the endings as per your convenience. Word Limit: 300-800 words. Also, this word limit does NOT include the given ending. Submit your entry via this Google Form. The story can belong to any genre - no compulsions. Just keep it clean and free from any suggestive content. This is a family-friendly forum. Rules Do not change the given endings - they should be literally copy-pasted. Stories with altered endings will be disqualified. Participate with only ONE account. Choose only ONE ending. No plagiarism. Game Rules must be followed at all costs. Endings You can use any ONE of the following endings: Special ending from the player who suggested this contest idea - Criteria What will the writers be judged on? Here's a list: Creativity Ability to express within the given word limit Grammar and spelling (don't worry about British/American English unless you've used a mixture of both in your entry ?) Quality over quantity - a story with 800 words does not have an edge over a story with 300 words. Your story has to be relevant to the ending and the genre you choose. Prizes Each ending will have separate prizes. They are as follows: First Place: 60,000 crystals ? and 5 containers . Second Place: 50,000 crystals ? and 4 containers . Third Place: 40,000 crystals ? and 3 containers . Consolation: 25,000 crystals ? Note You story need not be Tanki-related. We have also provided endings which aren't directly Tanki-related. Any genre is welcome - these endings may seem funny, but a good writer can always construct a horror story or a thriller or a moral story etc. from the given endings. Do not be under the impression that humor is necessary to win. Please keep the word limit in mind - your entry has to be within the word limit except the given ending. Words from the given endings will not contribute towards the total word count. You can write your story on a Word document or on Google Docs and paste its shareable link in the space provided (in the Google Form). Important Dates 12th March 2021 - Contest starts (start accepting entries) 26th March 2021 - Contest ends at 12:00 UTC (stop accepting entries) New deadline: 9th April 2021 (12:00 UTC; stop accepting entries) Status: CLOSED ~ * ~ * ~ All the best! May the best writer win! Feel free to contact me if you have any doubts.

Basically the Merge tag means that your idea is going to be merged with another topic which already had the same/similar idea and was posted earlier. Your idea will remain as a topic for a few days and then later get merged with an already existing topic. Also, no need to call yourself a noob ?! The Forum is a bit confusing at first and all of us have gone through (or are going through) this phase. It is natural to have doubts and it's a good thing that you're asking for help! Our excellent Forum Moderators team (and sometimes other Helpers) is always there to help!

I completed my very first Challenge and bought my very first Battle Pass too! I got around 20 containers and a Skin Container from the Challenge and managed to get a few cool items:

Well, one of the criteria for judging is "your ability to express in the given limit". You have to do your best and not cross the word limit. I have also mentioned (last point of "Task") that the word limit is small, so organize your entry properly! Remember, you still have time until 12th March. You can make your entry better till then. Have fun!

Your entry is fine. An important point to note: Please be as professional as possible even if this contest requires you to be humorous. You still have time till 12th March, so feel free to edit and perfect your entries!

Ideally you shouldn't use the same helper group consecutively, cuz then chain will be humongous! I think some entries got disqualified because of that... let's wait for Person_Random's reply. @krish123_super yes, the word "needn't" exists.

The results are out! Check here!

Well you had to initiate a helper chain and conclude it somewhere, preferably after you've got plenty of helpers in there. On a serious note, you had to add helpers with multiple positions in the chain in such a way that the next helper is a part of one of the helper groups of the previous helper. Read the original topic for better understanding...

o.O Congratz to the winners! Volto good job... so you drew a chain, didja?

Can it get better? I'd better keep my expectations low...

Don't worry bro we'll pronounce you dead only after you tell us that you're dead.

O.o Maybe I should start upgrading my Mk4 Twins... And yeah that's a shard container... lol

Wow the Reporter paint looks cool on Juggernaut! I even ranked up in that battle: :D

Ah, good old Poly. Absolutely wonderful, bro! This is an achievement... your very first article turned out to be an Editorial! Congratz! And your sense of humour does not disappoint - a long guide, but fun to read!

I have seen extremely powerful Cyclone users in Stadium... they somehow manage to lock on to you and all the rockets miraculously find their target. It is an extremely potent augment, but of course, as poly (E_polypterus) said, in the right hands.

Feels great to see not one, but two special modes this time! Hopper-Railgun in Skyscrapers... ?

Just this once pls... don't cancellationate me ? -2

Honestly guys have you even bothered to read the main post? I'm really surprised how players manage to go off-topic so easily.... This is not a topic to discuss who is or isn't a noob, please!

It's the job of Forum Moderators to send reports periodically to those in authority. If they have received certain instructions, they will have to follow them. One such important instruction is that they are supposed to tell players to attach an image or a video of the bug/glitch. If the image or video is not present, Forum Moderators cannot report the bug simply because the developers won't accept it. The developers receive thousands of reports like this. Also, many players report fake bugs or report stuff that isn't even a bug just for fun or due to ignorance. In such cases, Forum Moderators cannot spend time trying to verify whether the bug is legitimate or not. A video or an image makes everyone's job easier. You are not forced to record a video. Even if you manage to capture a screenshot, it's good enough. If possible, please mention how the bug got triggered (in case a particular sequence of steps triggered it). But you will have to submit a picture or a video because otherwise the moderators won't be able to report the bug at all.

How wonderful! Genuinely loved the story! Mind-blowing plot twist... (or perhaps this story was supposed to be like this... )

Well, I hope I answered your question in my previous post! You do not need to mention every single position. You can choose any one of the non-admin positions of a Helper as per your convenience (in case it helps you to get a longer chain ?). Refer to the example given in the main post. There, Person_Random hasn't mentioned all the positions of the Helpers in the chain (notice that most of the Helpers in the chain have multiple positions).

Please elaborate... If I understood your question correctly, you're asking: "If a Helper has multiple positions (say, 4), can a participant mention only one of them in parentheses?" Well, you have to mention any one of the non-admin positions of the Helper and then find another Helper who is in that group to continue the chain. For example, Person_Random is a Content Helper and an eSports Helper. You can mention CH (Content Helper) in parentheses and then mention the next Helper (who has to belong to CH). If you mention EH (eSports Helper), then you have to find another eSports Helper to continue the chain.

Approved! Galaxy_Collapse brings us a nice little story with a strong message - do NOT play with fire. The plot is developed well, and the idea behind the story is very good. What I like about the story is that Galaxy_Collapse uses simple words to describe serious events and also conveys an important message. While the story was good overall, it had a few writing issues. I found many instances where you changed tenses in between sentences. If you are narrating an incident which has occurred in the past, you should use the past tense throughout your narration. Once you come back to the present, do not forget to use the present tense. This was the only major issue. Also, the phrase "too hot to handle" is rarely used to describe hot things - it actually refers to a situation or a person that is too dangerous to get involved with. I have not edited it out. Edits: Great job, Galaxy_Collapse! This was a good story with a great lesson.
