Does it even matter?

[semyonkirov 29,038]

It's not that important of course, but it would be nice to see what the community thinks.

[jokjinari 160]

I think that Tankmen sounds the best, but I voted for Tankers, because the other would seem sexist. The women wouldn't like it.

[Meliora 1,652]

Well I'd love to be adressed to as 'Miss' but obviously that isn't going to happen so I voted for 'players'.

[MusicJam19 737]

So we comment on how we would like to be called? Nice xD

^ oh please,, "Tankmen" has absolutely no relation in being sexist or not ... The only thing you can blame is perhaps the english language for its use of masculine form when dealing with mixed groups.

 

About the above choices, the only two relevant options are Tankmen and Players IN THEIR PLURAL FORM. Tankmen seems to be the most appropriate as you will mostly address multiple people on tanki.forum. There is more pride in being called Tankmen rather than just Players. Plus it adds to the charms of tanki as well :D

 

Use singular form of Tankman, Tankwoman, Tanklady, Tankmiss, Tankgirl or whatever you come up with when addressing one person in particular, e.g in pm, or on forum when you clearly specify who the addressee is. Use player by default though when you are uncertain of the sex/status of the addressee.

 

Concerning Tankers - well just google the word and you'll see right on the first page.

 

 

Hope this helps ;)

Players :)

[jokjinari 160]

I too think that tankmen is the best, but I was just saying that some people may not like being called tankmen, even when addressed as part of a larger group of people.

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

Yeah they should make a word for the female players

Tankwomen :huh:

[Meliora 1,652]

No, I prefer Miss. Or Mademoiselle - tankwomen doesn't sound right.

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

Your Excellency?

Players, "Because its much easier to translate that word then "Tankers" which means in other language "Water Tanks" and i translate the news personally so i would rather "players"

:)
