1st Place, winning 25000 crystals: @randomperson123456
 
Ho, ho!
The gods bellowed
as chaos reigns supreme
and tanks turn to cream
They watched in delight
as push turns to fight
at the moment when
tanker's greeds spark and ignite
All this chaos
all this destruction
and, of all those, whom will
be the benefaction?
All may join in
one will strike rich
Such is the way
as goldhunting goes
 
2nd Place, winning 20000 crystals: @DragonOfStorms

I once heard a sound, a jarring sound, a siren.
I knew something was up, 'cause all over the map, ev'ryone ceased a-firin'.
Then I saw in the sky, the evening sky, a gilded box was falling.
I ran to the spot, and readied my shot, as all were shouting and calling.
I drove up the hill, the little hill, only to die by Railgun.
But I saw the gold box, and by my treads and my socks, I'm gonna get the next one.
 
3rd Place, winning 15000 crystals, this amusing entry by @PWNER101:
 
As I sat on my royal throne, watching my monitors, I wondered why these little tanks fought with such ferocity for a minuscule prize of 1000 crystals. Hearing knocking, I retracted my security monitors. A tank rolled slowly into my throne room like an elderly man. "Ugh, an inferior life form," I thought. "Gold box plz admin," it shrieked excitedly. I had been feeling sorry for this poor tanker, but now I was angry. With a voice loud enough to detonate an atomic bomb on the other half of the galaxy, I shouted, "GOLD BOXES ARE NOT DROPPED BY ADMINS."
 
Special mention to @iztheman, who, had this been a 'Caption This' contest, would have definitely won a prize with:

"I see dead tanks."

1st Place, winning 25000 crystals: @crusader2020mini
 
A deadly shaft, stranded in no-man's-land. Beautiful, as if sculpted from clay. Searching, searching to find a vulnerable mark. He is strengthened in mind by the wise, mighty owl, spreading its wings regally across his turret’s back. He had just mercilessly neutralized an enemy looking to take the flag, a recent kill, his carcass still lying where he met his doom. An ally peeks around the corner, hoping to role into friendly territory with his flag untouched. A territory secured by the mighty shaft, majestic upon the foreboding viking. A mark’s nose materializes around the corner... and is immediately assassinated.
 
2nd Place, winning 20000 crystals: @JamesBondBoy

Fearless and Hawkeyed-
Respect the shaft!
Lounging with a death omen
The shaft does equally punish!
Look yonder comrade tankers,
I spot a hated sniper.
Charge men, you must charge.
Take him down and the base is ours
.Fire your weapons - take some armor
Shafts are not piteous, even when cornered.
Selfish glory could lead to our doom!
Watch as his Isida's prepare for battle!
Forward, the tank brigade!
There not be a tank dismayed!
Charge for that gun, I say.
And into the field of death, tanks do roll.
 
3rd Place, winning 15000 crystals: @firebolt55439
 
When I was a mere Wasp, darting around corners and executing blind turns, all too often the fateful jolly rogers would pop up and signify my impending doom. All too many battles were lost due to neglecting to look ahead.Not anymore. My weakness is now my strength. My vulnerability is now my asset. My fear is now their fear. All who approach me shall perish. I hover over the edge of life and death itself. There is a saying: “When you look at the dark, the dark looks at you.” I no longer look at death. I am death.
 

Special shoutouts to @Tankueray and @Black_Eliminator respectively for these great commentaries when read in the voice of David Attenborough:
 
Here we see males of the herd fighting for position to collect a rare treat, which falls from the sky when conditions are just right. You will notice that the largest of the herd have secured their place under the drop zone, yet they are not always the ones to catch the sought after prize from above. More often than not, the smaller, quicker, more agile males will throw fear to the wind as they launch themselves upon the backs of the large behemoths, who could crush them in an instant, to steal away the precious gift from the sky.
 
Here we see a Vikingus Shaftourus, also known as a Sniper, in its natural habitat. He is looking for its pray, so we must be quiet. It will become very aggresive if you disturb him while he is looking for its next meal. If he spots its prey, he will use its laser to zoom in on its prey and shoot it so he can eat it. It can survive under bizarre conditions, and even repair itself when damaged! It really is a beautiful creature, and it is even better we can get this close to it without being noticed

YAY! My entry actually won something! I was gonna add much more descriptive metaphors and something about a blender, but 100 words isn't very much.

Congrats to the winners

Those were amazing entries

Can't believe mine didn't win tho

This is mine

 

They combat and contend for the prize

The precious gleam of the gift

Proves to be the weakness of all the tankers

Like a moth to a flame

They gather with insatiable want

The piercing might of their weapons

Slaying many

Keeping them from golden glory

Their hunger is unfathomable

Their materialistic thirst inexplicable

Treachery abounds even amongst comrades

As the battle motto becomes each warrior for himself

Each fighter radiates hope for the capture

Each dreams of the taking

But Alas only one warrior shall be the victor

Only one shall be the taker

Nevertheless they struggle mercilessly
