DAD

[VaVyLoN 21]

Good morning, I wanted to write this post. In 2012, at the age of 9, I started playing because of my father. I loved the game. Every day I would come home from school to play with him after work for at least a couple of hours, for 5 years. Then, unfortunately, my father passed away, and I stopped playing. Playing no longer made sense to me. I found great peace with this game. Today, 7 years later, I started playing again. Today, I find many emotions. I play and I return to that place, to when I was 9 years old. Even though my father was a quiet and perhaps distant person, that moment was a moment of connection. Today my daughter is named Olivia, after the olive tree, because of the peace she brings me. Olivia is one year old, and in the future, I will play with her as my father did with me. This post is for all of us who have lost a loved one along the way. I want to thank you for keeping the community alive after so many years. P.S. My father wasn't a camper, haha, he loved the Firebird, I continue with that tradition.

It takes a lot of strength yo write a letter up to the community . Some of us old timers would remember the both of you in the game.

Sorry for your loss , stay strong for Olivia and lets hope we keep this game going for next  generations to enjoy..

 

Stay safe and Enjoy Life

As someone who finds comfort in this game, your post really resonated with me. I’ve always believed that for many people, Tanki Online is much more than just a game. Even if the excitement fades compared to when we first started playing, something about it always pulls you back, whether it’s the memories, the friends you’ve made along the way, or simply a bit of magic.

I’m truly sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I’m sure you’re a wonderful father to Olivia, and I hope she will come to enjoy the game as much as you once did.

Am so happy that some old tankers are coming back to tanki online after some time, even though there are alot of better games nowadays.

Also, am deeply sorry for you lose, and am sure that Olivia will be with a caring, supportive and a wonderful father.

 

 

Stay strong, and I wish you the best in your life.....

I started playing this game in around Q4 2014. I remember that I had bad notebook but even so I still played it even in school when we had PC Lessons. I managed to find some awesome friends because of tanki and I don't regret playing it for almost 11 years. 
Tanki started my creative journey and because of that I have a job that I like. 

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I'm sure you will be wonderful father as your father was to you.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you're able to remember those old memories - while making new ones on the way!

Death is what gives meaning to life. It's painful yet so rich in memories and emotions. I hope you are able to make more sweet memories with your daughter and enjoy your time.

This reminded me of a famous quote from the series "The Office US" said by a character called Andy: "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them"

So I suggest everyone to enjoy their time with family, friends and loved ones as you may be in your best times and you won't have to regret later on in life.
