Some fun going back to old maps today. Not even beginning-of-this-journey maps but the very first parkour battle I ever joined: Aleksandrovosk DM. Back at the rank of I received 3 days of premium time,and the first thing I did was go into my own pro-battle. Of course, the button was not unlocked, so instead I waited for someone to post the link to a battle in one of the chats, then I would click on that and make my own. But back to the first time, I figured out I could reach the battle list that way. I went onto it, and clicked the "Create battle" button. 

"Aleksandrovosk?" I thought, "Hm, okay. I'll try jumping off that ramp thing."

Away I went, first finding the button that made it space mode. I equipped my trusty Ricochet M0+Wasp M0 and joined the battle. My first object was to survey the empty map. If I'm correct, I didn't even notice it was different from the MM version. After scouting it out, I found the ramp and jumped. There's really nothing so satisfying as first trying out space mode. I figured out how to do flips, and spent 30 minutes trying to land a double sideways flip ;) Noob as I was, I didn't realize that you could make a private battle. Sooner or later a very "experience" WO1 entered my battle. The rank slightly cowed me, but he was nice enough and showed me some of his parkour tricks, which I thought were worthy of competition at the time. His hardest one was doing the little jump up to the side ledge. I tried over and over, but could not manage to do it. My excuse? He had Rico M1, and I had M0. It was at that moment that my goal in Tanki switched from reaching Third Lieutenant (I thought the insignia looked nice) to getting Rico M3 and being a parkourist. 

 

Less than 5 months later, my dreams were both realized. My Tanki path was set directly on the path of Shaft and XP/BP as a side hobby. Then when I ranked to First Lieutenant, I discovered that I could buy Rico M2! I was, to put it lightly, ecstatic. With the help of my savings so far and 300K from a container, I made my Ricochet M3. Of course, this was all after I had started my parkour journey in this topic. I bought Rico M1 right as soon as I could, if you were wondering :)

 

And now, after completing this journey, I was approached by none other than @Troop10, or @Mr.Nibbles who competed in MoP 2019 but was disqualified for a problem with filming, who asked if I would like to start an OMP club. That offer was accepted, and the club is in the making - the official page should be coming out reasonably soon. 

 

That's my full Tanki parkour journey. As I said, I re-visited Aleksandrovosk today and had fun conquering everything in one-try. I saw the first building I ever conquered with Magnum (which I did this time with Rico, even though that wasn't possible at the time with M1), and other fun stuff.

 

This was random, but it was fun reliving my memories of 4 months and several hundred thousand exp ago :)

Good news! I have found someone to film for me! So while I am still semi-quitting Tanki, just now that in little gaps of time I get from the real world I will be developing a Space OMP Guide to Every Map for Dummies (okay, maybe not that name :P).

I may make a channel just for this, and if so I will announce the premier of Aleksandrovosk. No, for anyone wondering, it will not be edited (or maybe it will be just a bit). 

Super excited!

Awesome initiative, good luck and I'm sure you'll have fun!  ?

For the record, I did NOT change my name because you said this ?

 

Finally made it to the Rio tower with the help of my long-awaited set of M0 Wasp, M4 Rico, and Plasma Torch!
