Tanki Personalities

Tanki Personalities

 

1. Rage Quitter

 

Everyone can relate to this, so no further explanation.

 

Fun Fact: this is sometimes me

 

So anyway, when this person joins a battle, he/she expects to be on the winning team and finish with a brilliant 2.0 D/L.  But when things turn sour, this person rages and starts getting mad at people and posting weird things on the in-game chat, especially when they are repeatedly slaughtered.  Then this person quits.

 

Build: Any, can be a supply user

 

 

2. Squealer

[no image on file]

 

The person who thinks that everyone is cheating because their equipment is worse than everyone else or they suck.  So this person also complains a lot that he/she can't get the kill, sometimes because their teammates are annoying and steal the kill at the last second.  This person hates supply users and especially despises using supplies unless in really extreme cases.  If you see one of these tankers, tell them to get a Pro Pass and join a no supply battle.

 

Build: Usually a light or medium hull.  Plays unskillfully with a mid/long range weapon (smoky, Rico, twins, railgun, thunder, etc.) The Squealer uses supplies rarely.

 

 

3. The EXP hungry tanker

This person is desperate to level up as fast as possible, so they do anything to get a high battle score.  They usually have talent though, unlike squealers and rage quitters (note: not all of those rage quitters are bad - they might have too many mults and noobs on their team)

 

Build: Usually a light hull and Isida (more exp for healing) and burns through tons of supplies.

 

 

4. Annoying Guy #1

(commonly seen in M1/M2 battles)

 

Not annoying if on your team.  If this person is on the other side, then they are annoying.  This person usually tries to inflict as much damage as possible, but this person is kind of hard to kill.

 

Build: Mostly heavy hull and Vulcan (most of the time) or short range weapon (freeze mostly).  Likes using repair kits when about to die.

 

 

5. Annoying Guy #2

 

"I'm dying!"                         "It's mine!"

(sorry for bad art skills.  I tried)

Super annoying if on your team.  The one guy who steals flags under their teammates' noses and captures them all the time.  (The flag sitter)  Also, another thing that this tanker does is that he/she steals repair kits when a teammate is at half health, and they have full health.  Hardly ever quits battles.

 

Build: Any.  Probably doesn't know how to use supplies.

 

 

6. XP/BP Hopeful

(Most people have M2)

Super good at everything, including smart supplies.  People kind of hate this person for stealing their kills or having this guy against your team.  I guess they are more prevalent in lower rank battles because there are fewer Pro Battles.

 

Build: XP/BP (in case you didn't read the title) Sometimes uses supplies.

 

 

7. Gold Box Hunter #1

       

"Easy Crystals"

This person desperately wants Gold even if they have a lot of crystals.  Usually, the tanker who ends up getting the Gold Box.  This person also reads guides to get better at gold box catching.

 

Build: Dictator and (insert turret here)

 

 

8. Gold Box Hunter #2

"Gold Box Will Be Dropped Soon"

"Where is it?!?"

A failed Gold Box hunter like most of us tankers.  Hardly ever finds Gold Box drop zones, but finally manages to see them on Cosmonautics Day (or however you spell it).  Too late.  They died.  But when they find the drop zone, they are usually beaten to it.  On the rare occurrence that they get to the drop zone first, they are the one that gets killed at the site.

 

Build: Whatever.  Some buy dictator, and some don't.  Don't want to use supplies when gold box drops.

 

 

9. The Tanker Who Carries the Team

(TotaIly Not Referencing Someone)

Incredibly talented at using supplies.  Has that fantastic D/L that all their teammates (and enemies) admire.  Almost always at the top.  Usually captures a lot of flags in surprising ways.  Not usually a permanent personality unless super skilled.  An average, ordinary tanker can hold this personality once in a while.  I get this every so often.

 

Build: Any, sometimes a supply user.

 

 

10a. The Noob and Failure of the Team

[no image on file]

A few steps below an average tanker.  Hardly gets the kill in battles.  Also, the one person who keeps dying in DM.  Sometimes, this person can move up to the ranks of an average player on an auspicious day.

 

Build: Any.  Probably needs a tutorial to using supplies.

 

10b. Target

[also no image on file]

The guy who is shot first by everyone on the other team.  Once he's not a ghost, he's dead.  Like that.

 

Build: Any.  Has a piece of paper that says "Hit me" on the back of tank. ;)   Check regularly to make sure you aren't one of these people.

 

 

11. Annoying Guy #3: Mr./Ms. Sumo Sabotage

The other Annoying Guy I forgot to name and I also didn't want to redo all my numbers.  So it's here.  This tanker loves to use impact turrets (twins/rico) to shoot people on their team.  Likes to photobomb shaft shots and make people miss aim.  Other favorites: shooting the flag carrier in CTF (and probably the guy with the ball in RGB) and shooting their teammates off the map.  Pray that you don't get this one on your team.

 

Build: Impact turrets.  I don't know if these people want to use supplies, but most likely not.

 

 

12. The Tryhard (note: Different from exp hungry)

(What I would have been if I had more crystals)

This person tries too hard.  The name says so itself.  That would sometimes be me.  Sometimes uses supplies to increase their score and D/L in a match.   Also known as the person who tries to capture many flags and look like the hero.  It's a losing battle now for tryhards.  According to my studies, tryhards only get benefits during the holidays, where some special thing or other is happening.  While people are admiring nice paints, tryhards focus on battles.  They win only in those situations.  Well, at least they aren't #11.  They're actually helping their team.

 

Build: All and any. 

Lucky Paint: Holiday

 

 

13. Annoying Guy #4:The Evil Drugger-Targeter

(Disclaimer: That guy was a Wasp-Shaft)

He's just a pain for one person, which would be you.  Annoying tanker who always hits one person (mostly 10b guy, but sometimes 12 and top of leaderboard opposing.  Always has drugs ready to use and a trusty overdrive under his sleeve.  Really hard to kill, that's what I'm saying.  This one person hates me so much and killed me 10 times in Barda CP.  If he was somewhere else, I would have had a 7.50 D/L or something good but he ruined it.

 

Build: Any.  Buyer and drugger (always DD equip and RK on hand)  Also usually a camper since less places to be hit. Uses Metallic to disguise crazy equipment.

 

 

15. The Sabotager

"Need those stars!"                                   "Aw, come on!"

(Shoves other tanker)

You may think that this is a repeat, but that is not true.  However, this sabotager likes to take advantage of low ranks in his team.  So when the heat of War comes, he is eager to flip his opponents over to earn a higher score.  P.S. They'll have to self-destruct, so they'll lose points!

 

Build: Smoky-Hornet.  (While I'm not trying to discriminate, that guy had that build, so yeah)

 

 

16. The Chatterbox (Secret Sabotager)

(image coming soon)

All he does is type useless stuff in the battle chat, from stock quotations (randomness from P.R.) and debit cards to getting gold boxes from admin, even if his team is losing 7-0.

 

Build: Who Cares?!?  Oh wait, he just wants a fast internet and a nice keyboard to train his typing skills.

 

Which one are you?

 

(And plus, if you have one I don't have on here, please comment below to have your personality shown as well!)  Tanks for reading!

Approved!

 

I think that the article was nice. I find it quite entertaining to have humorous articles to work with and I certainly did enjoy this one. That being said, I found a few things that could be improved.

• Word choice: I noticed that you use the words "actually" and "amazing" a lot. Word choice might not seem that important, but it can certainly make an article pack a punch. I would suggest you to maybe take 5-10 minutes after you write your article to find synonyms for words you already used lots of times. It doesn't mean you read some ancient novel, just a quick google search for "synonyms for x" where x is the word you overuse.
• Intro and Outro: I'm not sure if it was on purpose, but your article didn't seem to have a clear Intro and Outro. Once again, you needn't over complicate it, a few simple words to orient the reader and a few words to finish off the article will make it less jerky and flow more.
• Images: I think these might be hard to obtain, but a few images would certainly be nice. That isn't to say that the article is a text-wall.

[Chronicle 164]

Not bad, I did write about personalities myself a while ago. You could improve your word choice as LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH mentioned. Put that aside and it's a decent article.

Thanks for the advice.  I didn't really know how to put pics till a few days ago, so now I do.  Which means, Bring on the pictures!

You forgot Annoying Guy #3: The Team Troll

 

He goes around with Rico or Twins and a heavy hull firing at and pushing around all his teammates. He will bump/fire at railgun just as the turret lights up or photobomb a Shaft in scope mode or push teammates off a cliff or block /flip his own flag carrier.

[Person_Random 4,991]

Sorry, you want me to add that in?

Great read! Again, using a thesaurus would improve your writing a huge amount; looking at the title, what I expect to read when I open the link is something serious, but in fact I'm reading something like a Dude Perfect stereotype video. Also, I think your article needs some more flow to it, add some words that build on a previous sentence like then or in fact or besides that/this. It would make the article much more continuous and easy to read. Adding a header picture instead of just text can also boost your article's punch as a whole.

Thanks a lot for your help.  This tells me a lot more about what I need to improve on and I am extremely grateful.

[peter2003tankist 17]

Nice article bro, it made me laugh a lot especially in 10a. and 10b. Perhaps, I am the number 7, because I love gold boxes and I try to improve my skills.

Nice article bro, it made me laugh a lot especially on 10a. and 10b. Personally, I believe I am the number 7, however I sometimes turn into the nmber 1.

I am 1, 10a, and 10b all rolled into a super package. I can also lure 7 and 8 out of their hidey holes.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

Well people, I might post a new one: the Tryhard.

The one guy who is in the losing team who is only trying to cap or score ?

yeah if you think of it that way.  But the others just suck too much to do anything.

16. The Chatterbox

Image: Just show some battle chat.

Does everything in the world... except play. Keeps chatting about subjects varying from the battle to the world to the (in)famous "Admin Gold Pls" even when their team is losing 7-0.

Equipment: Doesn't need any as long as the enter key is present.
