Brother or sister played it?

Found it on steam?

Accidentally typing an "I" after typing "Tank" when doing a research project for your dog?

Dad showed you the game?

Try to share your story with a lot of background in multiple sentences. It's more fun to read a story that includes random info in the background like that fact that is was the day your mean brother moved out and gave you his old laptop or the fact that you played on school PC's and had to minimize the game ever 7 minutes when teacher went to the back of the class to feed the snake.

I joined Tanki thanks to some kid at the Library who was playing it and for some weird reason he called me out to show me the game. The first time I ran into this kid I forgot the name of the game... Luckily I ran into him a 2nd time within that week and he told me the name of the game. I have not seen this kid since.

 

Thanks to this kid I invited many other people to Tanki including my siblings and many friends from other games including Fishao and Helmet heroes. He likely made Tanki well over $100.

I did a search for free MMO games and went to page 5. (All the good stuff is on page 5). The next day, I left for vacation and forgot about it. When I got back, I coudnt remember the name of the game. Thought is was WOT, so I searched for that and it was totally different... but worse. Eventually I found TO again, and I never went back to the disgusting hive of scum and villainy that is WOT.

Well,
When I was a kid I wanted to play a tank game.
And I wanted to play online with other people (this all happened in 2011*)
So I searched: Tank Online
Then I saw ''Tanki Online'' I laughed, I thought: ''A tank game with mini tanks?!? :D'' And I since then I play Tanki.
What I loved the most about that time was the old Russian Trailer (The first one)

Dang man, I was always scared if I saw a shaft in 2011 :P
But I lost that account after the rebalance. So I made this one in 2013 :) And since 2013 I started telling friends so I've a few real life friends playing it. Ok ok, back to 2011 <3. Best times.

10/10 well done story

[loginci 877]

I started by my uncle . He lives in russia and teached me this game in 2010. My first , second and third accounts has been stole by my real life friend lol this is my 4th acc :D 

[Hancho 3,902]

I used to play Wild Ones back in 2010 on Facebook and we had this group full of people and one of the people invited me to play this game so here I am. 

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Trough the xgenstudios forums where I was making maps in Stick Arena.

 

Someone had ''fun game try it'' in his forum signature. It was an invite friend link trough the referral system, so I guess the guy earned a lot of crystals from my progression since then.

Got blocked on another game, so I was browsing for a new game on Miniclip :p, and found this. 

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Friend, who was playing this when I was legit 7 years old (he about same age as me). At first, I didn't really feel like playing it but when I got older, I got tired of playing online games where they just reset your progress everytime you leave the site, so I was on Miniclip and saw Tanki Online and I gave it a try and here I am wasting my life time as a Commander.

Clicked an ad out of curiosity, stayed because I was amazed to see a full 3D game in a browser (after playing 2D flash games for quite a few years).

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

Found it mentioned on a forum. Got hooked. It was my introduction to games, and in all honesty it would have been better if I had never found it.

[Coat 2,280]

Miniclip. Idk why miniclip added this noob game in their site
