In blue team at a drugless PRO Battle, are standing on the roof of building near their flag osama147741, with full Health, Wasp & loaded Railgun both M2, and with slightly less HP, Colonel @Ahsan133 to his right with Wasp M2 & Thunder M2, and Generalissimo @SaadKhan7 using Thunder M3 instead, looking towards the red base. Behind them there are hills and bushes inside an SD zone and a slightly higher ground nearby. Osama's in Fullscreen, possessing 208,227 Crystals and 1,611,695 Experience. He's a Generalissimo. The sky's colored Lava, and the horizon's shining bright-yellow. The picture's taken at RU1.

 

This spoiler is a comment about the entry and is not a part of the description above.

 

Word Count: 99 Words, not including BBCode tags, commas nor points at the end of sentences. When occurring, the word is was not counted as a word, as it was emerged with its subject using the suffix 's.

 

Additional Information: because the picture wasn't taken in Spectator Mode, I took it as granted that the XP Bar and the rest of the screen's top were an integral part that should be described as well as the battle situation. I would have used a Member tag for Osama, but he's changed his nickname and I preferred to be precise on the nickname displayed in the picture rather than being consistent with BBCode Member tags for all Members mentioned.

Three old mates logged on Tanki after hard day. @SaadKhan7 suggested to go chill on some peaceful map. He asked mate to create good old Highland map, Parkour format because he was too lazy to do it himself. "What about this highest one?" asked @Ahsan133. "Naah, that's too high", refused Saad. He turned his Wasp other way and went to blue base. In the desperate of boringness he kept firing at the house. Other two members knew that this is the right building. They invited few more pals to help them climb up. "Aaahh finally some relax" they all sighed.

I sit there, looking forward

 

At the Highlands

 

Hills nearby

 

And two friends,

 

Both being thunders.

 

Why one is damaged, why?

 

And why my tracks,

 

Defying the laws of physics?

 

I wear a paint,

 

That looks orange and black,

 

And one wearing green,

 

Shining green,

 

I wish I had that,

 

But I just sit, enjoying,

 

A never to come experience,

 

Being on a house,

 

The sights so beautiful,

 

I don't want to move away,

 

But I must.

The orange, amber sunset illuminated the sky as the sun was about to reach the last of its journey. There stood the abandoned and destroyed houses, and in the background stood the death zone signs in the deserted desert. Ghostly, the houses seemed to picture the sound of droning and moaning going on in the area, abandoned and collapsed, and there on the houses sit 3 tanks,misterious.one with a green emerald dazzling in the setting sun and 2 of which are lightly detailed orange and black.This was clearly a magic moment.

Parkouring is the coolest moment in Tanki when you sit on top of a house like a king with your friends enjoying in the evening breeze of the highland sunset . 

Equipping wasps with friends along with a rail and thunder while Saad covered with the beautiful emerald with the mighty thunder while waiting to smash the enemies .

It is more pleasing than that moment when you take a cool Selfie with your friends that makes you to remember them with sweet memories ......

Three friends who met after a long time decided to spend their evening together. They organized a mine hunt and the players were asked to find the mine. The battle, being of parkour format, had players going out of the map boundary into the vast desert and the three friends had fun seeing them from the top of the house. They were more amazed at the fact that they lied to the players saying that the winner would get 100K crystals and the players simply believed them! Nobody except the three friends knew that.... there was no mine at all.

Distant thunder fractures the silence. I sit, vigilant, perched atop the industrial hut. Three tanks on a building… it was a purposefully bizarre sight. We’re the diversion, intended for annihilation.  

Our enemies will soon be at hand. 

The vibrant colors of our protective enamels stand as a distinct juxtaposition to our desolate, hopeless surroundings.

This is our last stand.

The horizon attracts my gaze. A vivid tapestry weaves across the heavens in a stunning sunset made up of shades of fiery—even apocalyptic— tinge.

This is the last sunset I shall ever see. 

But I can still make a difference.

I think that I haven't understood the contest exactly... Is the objective just to include the most details about whatever's in the picture within the boundaries of 100 words, or to write something creative by the means of a poem or a story? The way I saw it, it was just making a report that would include the most details in the least count of words... Am I wrong?

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

One day on a building, three brave commanders were killing off every enemy that stands in their way and they were victorious. Until one day a damn soul came toward them: devil paint, mammoth tank and thunder turret. It was @Godmode_ON! With one blow, he killed 500 generals who were guarding the goldbox. He tried to kill the last 3 standing but they were moving too fast. They shot him thousands of times but didn't get him to die. He started to shoot at those 3; they didn't die but they had very low health: only .1 hp! Godmode shot the last three and they died. Godmode took the goldbox and took all over Tanki Earth.

At evening, my lost memory of you returned.

and I was like the desert over which
The breeze moves gently, with great care.

My heart imagines your tank studded with stars,
dawn, I imagine, must've lit up your face.

If you look at Highland from here, you'd realize,
that in the entire map, there's nobody
really dignified.

Once diffused, how can the friends
of fragrance be recaptured;

We all are lying in wait for the moon to rise,
and our reflections to flash in every shadow

The breeze has knocked Highland's door again
Dawn is about to break.

We dreamed.

Something creative is the intention based directly around the picture. Originality is the key to this. Have a look at some of the sample answers up top for inspiration.

[NewbieCake 3,067]

They park on the warehouse.

 

They gaze far into the sunset.

 

 Flying to  paradise.

 

In the middle of fall.

 

They admire the sunset and its lush and cosmic rays.

 

And are thankful for this day.

 

To go and experience something.

 

So intricate, yet so simple.

 

They fly away.

 

And never come back.

 

But they realize, it was only a dream.

I know that it's kinda outsmarting, but technically making a direct report with no story or lore behind it as some did here, could be considered creativity as for itself :) I guess that like in other Newspaper Contests I've participated in, you judges are gonna find something bad in my entry and "have it in the shortlist, but not enough for any prize".

 

 

 

No meaning to offend or complain, it's just that this response from judges seems to come every contest I participate it :ph34r:

So it has to be less than 100 words? Or can it be 100 or less?

100 words or less.

The day started of like any other, ossama147741, Saadkhan7 and Ahsan133 accompanied with their wasps embarked to the town of highland that was located in a desolate desert. What drove them to such a place: a mission that would require all 3 to be in perfect unison with their tanks. The house located in the blue base was no match for what was to come. All in all there were four tanks; but I'm sworn to secrecy. SaadKhan7 with Ahsan on top drove of the cliff and Ahsan sored through the air. They repeated this until all 3 succeeded.

 

EDIT: 99 words :)

It was a lovely day at Highland, Osama147741, SaadKhan7 and Ahsan133 were doing Parkour and as you see they got on this house. But, Some shafts had joined the battle and they had ruined the fun by starting to kill them! Osama, Khan and Ahsan wanted revenge...

 

They said to themselves "All SHOOT!"

They shot and some the Shafts were already having low health.

Osama said , "Let me finish them!" 

 

He shot with his Railgun M2 and the Shafts were finally killed.

Shafts had left the battle cause they were scared from the three awesome PROS.

Three seasoned friends stood on top of a roof from a battle long ago, a battle lost in the past. The golden sun behind them shining its dying rays of light as the silver moon rose, casting its silvery tendrils of light over the darkening hoizon. Not a sound was to be heard, as if they stood in a distant world. How privelaged they felt to be together at that moment, for this was a truely astounding day, a day when it felt like the world was at ease, it was a day of peace.

Silent memento retains blissful moment

of the crimson sunset casting his veil.

Land´s flesh exposed to parkour torment,

leaving perseverance of the triplet to no avail.

 

Stubbornly devoted to follow lonely path

and unable to singly fulfill difficult task,

they unwillingly unleashed inner wrath.

No one was able to conquer the shack!

 

Owing to incipient fear of abortion,

clump came to a certain conclusion

that TEAMWORK is the essential part,

focusing efforts on fresh new start.

 

Success achieved through collaboration.

In fact, they created strange formation,

allowing them to reach the peak,

proving the world they aren´t weak.

Thunder struck the house and all the Railgun could say was, 'Parkour' as they were kings of the house.
