[Forum Game] Writing Tanki History On The Fly

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

Hi everyone. This is a bit of a forum game as well as an experimental "Tanki Novel" written by each and every Tankmen/Tankwomen on the forum. Yeah that's you!!

 

I do hope you will enjoy it and hopefully contribute to it, and for the fun part I will regularly update the main post to keep the storyline going and updated with any recent additions. But for all that to work nicely i will need to lay down a few set of Rules and some Guidelines on how to contribute to the project.

 

---

Please note at the moment with only 4 initial proposed lines that weren't all meant to be part of a novel, the story needs quite a bit of ironing out. Please help by rewriting it in the best way possible, keeping the essence of all each lines, and post it below. thanks

CHAPTER 1

 

Once upon a time, a weapon called the Railgun dominated the battlefield. Then thunder came.

 

ISida blasts in, showing off his electrical powers, but he is to show offish, he forgets about the game. Then a railgun hits the isida, it dies, and kills all the other weapons too.

 

The isida re-spawns and bosses everyone in the game, to show all the tankmen its amazing powers!

 

Then a Mammoth M3 with Thunder M3 and Emerald joins. The message that shows up strikes fear into the hearts of all the players, " joined." Desperately a mob of drugging Wasps attack Hichigo. He destroys them in seconds, the players of the opposite team are now stuck, with no way to get to flag without passing Hichigo, there is no way to win ...

 

Then a Twins user arrived, and destroyed them all using its all-new over-powered qualities, as gained in the rebalance. The End.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER *1.5* - Re-balance

 

At the same time natural selection and evolution caused the little bug known as the WASP to mutate into a more speedy creature and boy did it run, desperately trying to dodge its two long time nemeses and now having to venture ever more cautiously, for the new master is relentless and unforgiving.

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 2

 

 

Once upon a time there was a weapon called thunder.

Then the the thunder was scoped and 1 shot'ed by shaft

**********************************************************

 

Just a bit later, the RB came bringing the Smokey along. The Smokey killed the Thunder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE END

**********************************************************

A guide on how to effectively write a good line and how to post it

 

• It is best to make your line short and concise. This will help your storyline stay focussed
  

• Try to be as narrative as you can, it makes for a good read :rolleyes:
  

• Try to be as humorous :lol: as possible
  

• Use information you know is widely popular and avoid relating to information most people would not know or have never heard :huh:
  

• Pay careful attention to how the story timeline is going and make your line in such a way that it can easily be inserted in the storyline, without causing repetitive parts in the final story
  

• Also do watch out for contradicting lines :angry: . Should a conflict between your line and an existing line occur it is best to suggest a replacement or re-edit of the conflicting line. Please do so in the same post you use to submit your proposed lines
  

• It is in your best interest to clearly pinpoint the location where you want to insert your line/ make amendments.
  

• Remember, this is intended to be a nice read, so try think and write as much as a novelist as you can. Try to remember the last book you read for inspiration.
  

• If you are having any trouble with a line you are working on don't be afraid to share it, someone else may have the right delivery words for your idea and can even help you enrich those ideas. And since you posted it first there's no risk of someone else taking credit for it B)
  

• Do verify your line for grammar and spelling mistakes before you post it. Also make sure you use an appropriate verb tense to relate the story
  

 

 

 

These are the RULES OF THE GAME !!! Read first before posting

 

1. The main storyline should stick to relevant Tanki business, activities, history and events. Occasional mentioning of outside Tanki elements are allowed only when being referred to in a manner relevant to Tanki
    
   
2. Lines that causes the story to wander/ go astray will not be included in the main storyline
    
   
3. The story timeline has no limits, it can be made to start as far back in the past and projecting as far as possible in the future, although this does imply that there's a possibility that some lines may be rendered moot by future occurrences and would hence need to be scrapped or reworked
    
   
4. Lines referring to fellow Tankmen are allowed provided they are of good humour, not demeaning towards said tankmen, not personal in nature and relevant to the storyline. In the event of said Tankmen protesting, the relevant targeting lines will be deleted
    
   
5. Each participant can submit only 1 line at a time, and cannot post more than 1 line in back-to-back posts. If such is the case his ideas can subject to being disregarded
    
   
6. A line can be short or can be long and complex. Each line should fit in a chapter. Participant should indicate very clearly where he wishes to place his'/her line in the story
    
   
7. Suggestions for replacement or re-edit a line should be posted along with the a quote of actual line in the story on main post
    
   
8. These Rules aren't definitive and may be subject to further amendments.
    
   
9. Normal Tanki Forum Rules applies at all times

[OPTIONAL READ] Tanki History On The Fly - The Beginning And The Origins

 

 

 

It all started out on this Railgun-a comprehensive review and guide by @Notchfan when @CorvetteRacingLeMans posted

[quote name=CorvetteRacingLeMans' timestamp='1362063014'

 

post='2872144]

Once upon a time, a weapon called the railgun dominated the

 

battlefield. Then thunder came.

The end.

and @dungu immediately piled on with

CHAPTER 2

Just a bit later, the RB came bringing the Smokey along. The Smokey

 

killed the Thunder. The end.

 

p.s. A very nice comprehensive review / guide !! Congrats!

 

Then came @Notchfan who came around and turned things a bit upside down in favor of the shaft

Once upon a time there was a weapon called thunder.

Then the the thunder was scoped and 1 shot'ed by shaft

 

THE END.

 

Unknowingly @Notchfan introduced the first "fork" / paradox in the story: Was the Thunder killed by the Smokey? Or was it 1 shot'ed by the Shaft as he claims? The dilemma persist, until you come along :tank:

 

 

So, do you think you can enrich this story and make it better? Then feel free to post your story lines and ideas below. But do read the Guide and Rules first.

Also hidden underneath here is a :fire_l:SPARK !! :fire_r: So beware !!!

 

 

I smell a forum game in those posts! ^

Go ahead and make it... I'm to scared to start forum games; keep in

 

mind that I was the ''spark'' if that thread gets made.

Yeah man, I may be Slow but I do remember where I get my Sparks !!!

Here is my personal line. I wish this to be placed in beginning of Chapter 2 when talking about the rebalance and i want it to be used as an introduction to the new master, a.k.a Thunder

 

"At the same time natural selection and evolution caused the little bug known as the WASP to mutate into a more speedy creature and boy did it run, desperately trying to dodge its two long time nemeses and now having to venture ever more cautiously, for the new master is relentless and unforgiving."

 

p.s: at the same time refers to rebalance moment when thunder is introduced and wasp gets a boost

[GoldRock 6,165]

At the end, add:

Then a Twins user arrived, and destroyed them all using its all-new over-powered qualities, as gained in the rebalance. The End.

P.S. Nice forum game, you've clearly put some effort into creating it :)

[Jayjey419 41]

Does anyone know the history of when all the guns came and hulls came out in thier order..?

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

that's the point of the game, no one knows nothing for sure ^{(except if the guys at Alternativa Platform somehow kept a book of everything since the begining)} so you are free to write what you want, suggest how the tanks came into being, their daily troubles etc etc etc.

ISida blasts in, showing off his electrical powers, but he is to show offish, he forgets about the game. Then a railgun hits the isida, it dies, and kills all the other weapons too.

Then a Mammoth M3 with Thunder M3 and Emerald joins. The message that shows up strikes fear into the hearts of all the players, "HichigoShiro joined."

Desperatley as mob of drugging Wasps attack Hichigo. He destroys them in seconds, the players of the opposite team are now stuck. With no way to get to flag without passing Hichigo, there is no way to win.

Updated. Thank you all for your contribution. I've also included a Chapter 1.5 - rebalance for those who wish to write about this .

[zaxerly 17]

Rebalance completely ruins Tanki; prices are extraordinarily high and the bottom line is that most of the players have left the game.

[FaaiqBilal1 795]

I left the game ^_^.

[UAA619 97]

So the thunder got angry called his brothers, but they got destroyed by the the lightning bolts that smokey called "criticals".
