So technically this contest is still on? May we submit Christmas themed entries? ?

Was you? We need you on the TO Forum Fire Department... (To control all the flaming of course...)

I haven't come across any Crusaders in battle yet... Luck seems to have deserted most tankers...

Additionally, Gear Scores like 514 also work, but these GS values are nearly impossible for high ranks. And if you enter this contest using a Recruit ranked account (at Recruit it's possible to have 3 digit GS. So players in your battle might have the lucky number 14 in their GS), there's no point really ?...

I suggest that you don't post a "Farewell" post in case you're leaving only the game. If you stay on the Forum despite leaving the game, you're still here ? Anyway, it's your call...

This pic was just to show how to highlight lol, and also to show that you can crop the picture. But I agree that it's confusing. @Person_Random please change the sample screenshot. It's quite confusing. First of all, you've highlighted a GS that does not have 14, and second, you've highlighted your own GS (again that's against the rules :kekw:)...

@fghjkl54 @T879 The GS must contain the numbers 1 and 4 consecutively, in that order. For example, 1400, 1144, 1214, 9014, 7147, 9914 etc. are all valid, as they contain the numbers 1 and 4 consecutively, and 1 comes before 4. The beauty of this contest is that even if you aren't fast enough to get into the top-three, you can still get the 15k consolation prize, which is luck-based... (and not time-based)

Just to let you know, I am not "confused". I reacted with <Hmm> because I find your post interesting... The idea of devs playing like non-buyers is pretty cool... BUT Marcus is not a developer... how sad

Wow, thanks! And yeah those extra spaces before the exclamation marks were intentional, just for aesthetics. Normally I would not put a space between the last word and the punctuation. Honestly, it feels great to see this:

Can I read this story without having to know any background info? I really don't understand where this series actually begins.. But I want to read Hippin's works!

Mighty congratulations to @Sacrifice for reaching the milestone of 2000 Forum reputation points!!! ?

How about posting it here?

Wow, so this is finally out! (You didn't ask him why his avatar has a halo, PR :c) What a great personality, Marcus! You make it all sound so easy... (if only I did that something once...) Overall, excellent interview, PR, and wonderfully answered Le Komyooniti Manajer! P.S. that MotS Promo was truly amazing!

P.S. Please tell me whether this is an already existing meme... I don't really know memes lol...

Bruh why is the latest Web Version Patch Note dated "November 11th, 2020?" Same for Mobile version... It's supposed to be December. @Marcus EDIT: it was changed to December shortly after this post...

The AP effect lasts for a very short time. You'll have to be lucky to kill them within that short while... (I tried it in the test server) Plus, the AP status effect gets applied only to the tank that gets hit by the icicle. In case of Hornet, multiple tanks can have their armour pierced.

For those of you who don't know the world famous Baby Shark song (no, not a nursery rhyme, but a song), here you go: So, for those of you who do know the legendary song, I'm typing out the lyrics of my parody without the "doo doo doo doo doo doo" for your convenience in the spoiler below: You scan the battlefield and find no threat. Except that one Shaft. But hey, it's Mk3, and you're an Mk5 Viking, so no problem. Baby Shaft doo doo doo doo doo doo Baby Shaft doo doo doo doo doo doo Baby Shaft doo doo doo doo doo doo Baby Shaft ! But you're still apprehensive. It may seem like a "baby" Shaft, but it still has the potential to one-shot you. Then you see the kill-feed. That Shaft has got four kills within thirty seconds... You feel like running away, though it may seem cowardly. Makes you run doo doo doo doo doo doo Makes you run doo doo doo doo doo doo Makes you run doo doo doo doo doo doo Makes you run ! You cautiously make your way towards that Shaft. But - the Titan right beside you explodes, and a flash of red light leaves you unnerved. You run. Run away doo doo doo doo doo doo Run away doo doo doo doo doo doo Run away doo doo doo doo doo doo Run away ! You reach the other end of the map. You think you've escaped danger. You think you're safe. Safe at last (???) doo doo doo doo doo doo Safe at last (???) doo doo doo doo doo doo Safe at last (???) doo doo doo doo doo doo Safe at last (???) ! But here comes the laser - blood-red and omnious. You begin to wonder whether you're truly safe. The doubts in you mind intensify as you try to reach a safe spot behind a wall. You stumble. You stumble doo doo doo doo doo doo You stumble doo doo doo doo doo doo You stumble doo doo doo doo doo doo You stumble ! At that moment, you childishly hope that your mistake has gone unnoticed. That your clumsy move was too trivial to attract attention. Hah, Hope is a fickle friend. You have been sighted. Shaft sees you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft sees you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft sees you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft sees you ! You glance around your room in despair and desperation. You see your roommate having a piece of toast with some jam. A disturbing thought crosses your mind - you're toast. Then you're toast doo doo doo doo doo doo Then you're toast doo doo doo doo doo doo Then you're toast doo doo doo doo doo doo Then you're toast ! Delaying the inevitable? Good luck. A flash of red light - and your tank closely resembles the rusted "decoy" tank a few meters away. Shaft shoots you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft shoots you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft shoots you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft shoots you ! After a short while, your tank materializes directly in the line of sight of Baby Shaft. You respawn doo doo doo doo doo doo You respawn doo doo doo doo doo doo You respawn doo doo doo doo doo doo You respawn ! You curse your luck. You crave fame and attention, but this is Tanki. Not real life. The one thing you don't want is being seen. Especially by a Shaft. Needless to say, "Shaft sees you..." Shaft sees you ( ) doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft sees you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft sees you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft sees you ! Without conscious thought, you find yourself staring at your roommate's toast. The toast gets mutilated by your roommate's incisors in slow motion. With visible effort, you pull yourself back into the computer screen in front of you - back into reality. Virtual reality. Then you're toast doo doo doo doo doo doo Then you're toast doo doo doo doo doo doo Then you're toast doo doo doo doo doo doo Then you're toast ! You flinch before the laser even touches your tank. The flash of red light that follows makes you jump again. It hurts. As if that laser has pierced through your torso. Shaft shoots you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft shoots you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft shoots you doo doo doo doo doo doo Shaft shoots you ! Your tank's soul flies across the map and back. Your tank materializes. A sense of foreboding grips your heart - You respawn doo doo doo doo doo doo You respawn doo doo doo doo doo doo You respawn doo doo doo doo doo doo You respawn ! You are seen. No matter where your tank respawns, you're seen. And Death follows you like your shadow. The Shaft-Cycle, you call it. And like any other cycle, it repeats. "And so on." And so on doo doo doo doo doo doo And so on doo doo doo doo doo doo And so on doo doo doo doo doo doo And so on ! May your tank rest in one piece. This piece was inspired by a lot of other people and pieces: @classic-style-hiphop - his wonderful usage of the second person POV in his Trials of Heaven series. @Pythor - he gave some tips to make this piece longer ?... @Hippin_in_Hawaii - he wrote a beautiful New Year special story, The Night Before , in a similar style (he wrote verse in between the story, while I wrote a story in between "verse"). And Then There Were None - the epic novel by Agatha Christie, which revolves around a nursery rhyme. And this: https://youtu.be/7N4ChH5mvAo (don't worry it's not a rickroll)

Wow I got to play with 2 Forumers (@MysticBlood and @yellowghetto) and an Event enthusiast ( @sweetwillie111 @sweetwillie111)! I have to say though, playing against Legends is a pain... My DD supplies are rapidly reducing... I was the lowest ranked in this battle...

try growing pink

Yeah they do "rock", but the rocking isn't as pronounced as in the case of normal hulls. Plus, it's very difficult... What do you mean? Noticed... ? ?

Hovering hulls cannot "rock" (like a rocking chair) or "swing" (in parkour terms). So there are limitations when you want to shoot at someone above or below you. With mouse controls, the hull always turns in the direction you turn your turret. This means your hull turns completely when you simply want to turn your turret. Though you can click and hold the right-click to look around without turning your turret, it's slightly inconvenient. With keyboard controls, you cannot strafe (the side-ways movement), and the hull drifts a lot. It's difficult to maneuver. With either of the controls, hovering hulls slide down from slopes. They cannot remain stationary on inclined surfaces.

Cold Immunity and AP Immunity seem to be the only direct defenses. Let's see how it interacts with other ODs.

So I can at least get 1 Ultra Container without playing excessively... not bad! (I could get at the most 3 UTs, by killing 500, getting 5k points, and capturing 3 flags. Beyond that would require too much effort). But PC players won't be able to play properly, due to the lags and frame-rate drops... I'll play MM only on mobile, if I choose to play at all...

I think it's better than having an outright early access bundle which non-buyers cannot get at all...

What are you thoughts on this hull? Share you opinion! Garage description: Medium hull. It hovers above the surface and can pass through any harsh terrain without difficulty. Use its overdrive to shoot a big icicle which can neutralize enemy tanks at large distances. Second generation hover tank: to create a compact but powerful hull with attacking possibilities, a lot of ingenious solutions were used. Compactness of the second generation anti-grav allowed engineers to equip enough armor to the tank for it to be a medium hull without decreasing its speed. Attacking capabilities are provided by the built-in cannon. To meet the size requirements, instead of a super-powerful weapon, a cryo generator was installed. It makes a shell from almost nothing by cooling moisture and then shoots a big armor-piercing icicle. After being hit by the chunk of ice, the opponent's cannon will be frozen making it easy to finish off the tank, if not destroying it.
