Interview [Issue 11] What Do Tankmen Do in Real Life?

[Meliora 1,652]

I thought it would be quite interesting to find out whether our community was better at anything else other than the Tanki skills we constantly boast about. So here I have asked, 'What do you do in real life?'.

@icerugby
A sport I do is football which I do with my mates when either practising for matches with other clubs or just for fun. I'm a midfielder in soccer which means I'm a good all-rounder (good at everything). I might take up badminton soon as well just to see how it’s like. I like listening to Pop music and rapping. These days it's KPOP. KPOP has some real addictive tunes - I like a guy group called B.A.P as and they have cool hip-hop type music. Hmm, hidden talents? I can do flips and stuff off the ground because I'm looking at some b-boying activities in school. I can do just a back flip but other tricks I learned are doing head spins which really hurt my head XD.

@Scribo
First of all, I have school five days a week, and I'm a senior in high school so I'm going to go to college this fall. I play 4 team sports: cross-country running in the fall, swimming in the winter, and baseball and tennis in the spring (I used to throw the javelin and discus in Track and Field, but I don't do that anymore). I also enjoy playing football and basketball with my friends. I have some musical talent; I have played the piano for 12 years, and am going to sing in the choir at the college I'm going to. Many people have told me I have a talent for imitating people or certain voices; this comes mainly from watching the comedians Brian Regan and Bill Cosby. I also have some artistic talent; I want to major in Industrial Design in college, and then go on to Automotive Design, so I enjoy drawing car designs and sketching motion.


Well I love music and one of these types are pirate songs, some people think that this type is old and not really nice to hear and so on, but when I listen it feels mighty and funny. Also, I like romantic songs but not every love song. They must be really professional, etc. William Adams, or better known as Will.i.am he sang the song ''This is love''. I also love strategy games like kingdom to kingdom, wars etc., I don't like much blood, killing and horror games like ''Call of Duty''. I really loved this strategy game called ''Age of empire'' 1, 2 and 3 – this game was hard so I stop playing it, 'Tropico'', but I liked the game also, and this game is the best game of all I played ''Space Rangers'' 1 and 2. Well I use voice recording to fix my voice in some videos and in some funny videos to make my voice deep like by monsters.

@Raphael2
In real life, I am an active guy, I practice gymnastics twice a week, we are doing 5 competitions a year. We are doing team competitions, for three years we have won our department tournament, and we finished sixth at the national contest. I have played saxophone for 7 years. I have good marks at school, particularly in English, where I have the best marks of my class. I love History too, I enjoy reading history books. But the best thing outside of Tanki - it is the party! I love Saturday night… I do like partying with my friends and my girlfriend, we usually go among friends, and almost all the night long, we are partying! We are doing lot of things which I shouldn't talk about…

@Valletta
I have quite a few interests aside from Tanki, to the surprise of the ones who think I'm some sort of a 24/7 forum nolifer. As just about any other teenager I enjoy a couple of sports, to be particular, football (or soccer -.-), volleyball, court tennis, skiing and swimming. I also love spending most of my time with friends at the cinema, for example, as I am particularly fond of wasting my productive time by watching all sorts and genres of films. Furthermore, I consider that I differ from the majority of young people these days in the fact that I read books for entertainment. And I don't mean books as in the compulsory literature pieces everyone has to read for school, I mean that there would be legitimate cases in which I would read a 2000 page novel for something like day or two... oh god I’m a nerd. The piece I recently finished is Bernard Werber's trilogy "The Empire of the Angels", which I strongly recommend to the ones of you have some time to spare for a well written, action packed and a bit creepy piece of writing.

@splitterpoint
Hello, I'm Bobby, and I'm 17 years old. I have one sister, and one brother, and we live on a farm in the Netherlands. Outside Tanki, my hobbies are drumming, playing guitar, piano, photography and going out with some friends. I'm still a beginner on the piano and guitar, but I really enjoy it. I've been playing the drums for almost 7 years now. I'm not doing any sports at the moment, however; I'm going to the gym 2 times a week for weight-lifting. I also have a car, a BMW 320I from 1985... it's an oldtimer with some defects; though I'm really proud of it. I'm currently working at a garden center, nothing big... just planting plants and such. I do some chores at the farm as well.

@CooperO
I live on a farm. I have a horse, during summer I give kids on our mini-camping horse riding lessons. The ones that are too young to get lessons can sit on my horse while I walk around with them. During the rest of the year I just ride on my own. I play volleyball, each summer there is a volleyball competition between all the mini-campings in the area. We participate every year with our guests. I don't play any instrument, but I wish I had learned to play the violin. Therefore I'm planning to learn that once I've finished university. Speaking of which, I study veterinary Medicine in Belgium. I'm in my third year (it takes 6 years on average to finish). During the summer holidays, I clean houses on the beach and clean our toilet building to earn some extra money. During the winter, I love to ice skate, but it doesn't freeze that much where I live so if I'm lucky I can only do that a few days a year. As alternative I can skate, but that is a lot less fun in my opinion. I enjoy baking (pies, cakes etc).

@already.dead
I'm a 14 year old boy, I was born in the USA, but as my parents moved to America around 3-4 years before I was born from Norway, I'm actually Norwegian. So actually, I'm American and Norwegian citizen at the same time. I've been to most of the states. Now I'm back in Norway, but before I moved, i took piano lessons every week, but I've not been able to continue yet in Norway :/ The only sport I'm generally interested in playing is American football, which isn't so popular in Norway. I like to play with friends in the gym, and just generally hang out. I have 3 siblings, one of which plays Tanki. As some of you might know, I'm called Duck by many, and I love ducks, having had my own before I moved. Recently, I made a plastic tank at school, (being Mammoth & Twins of course. :D) Also, I might finally have convinced some school friends to start Tanki :D I might also meet a good friend of mine from Tanki IRL later this year.



My life is very busy these days. I have had to take a leave of absence from my clan because of things. Here are some of the things I do in my spare time. I play several instruments including piano, violin, and drums on top of singing. I have done gymnastics for about a year now, and I also work at writing, video making, image editing, and work around the home. As for hidden talents, I don't really know what to say about that, I don't really think anything I do would apply. School takes a lot of my time, and I have many other commitments, but I try to take time most days to play Tanki and see my friends. Thanks for asking me.


Hi and I'm crash as you all know :D. Well here some things about me. First of all I love Sports :3 Any kinda sport form football to table tennis. My favourite sport is Cricket, I like batting the most cause I can make a fool out of my friends when they bowl, my friends want me to join the a cricket club I just can't be asked to join :D. I also like designing :3. As you all know I make maps, and I've made many maps, most are with the new props (used in crash and gallery). I also design on Photoshop. learn how to use 3ds Max 2013 and make custom made props for maps. The one food I like the best has to be pizza :3 The kinda music I like is most type of music like RnB or Rap. Well, that's something about me.

So now you know what just a small selection of the English community get up to when they're not glued to their PC. Hopefully you enjoyed reading this article as much as I did asking the interviewees - if you would like to share some info about your hobbies and interests, feel free to comment below.
