BansheeOne Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Since hopes that 2021 will be better than 2020 turned out to be misplaced and 2022 topped either, I thought rather than making futile wishes for 2023 I'd save everyone a lot of work and sum up every TankNet thread in the new year: - A random member starts a new topic. - Rick asks a completely unrelated question from an ex-sailor's perspective. - bojan makes an authoritative statement about obscure technical details. - futon, Stuart and myself post walls of text to give what we mistake for the common Japanese, British and German view respectively. - DB and sunday disagree with Stuart. DB also disagrees with sunday. - Milo blames Trump. - DKTanker blasts Milo for something he didn't actually write while also blasting Trump. - Ivanhoe digs up a meme gainst Democrats from 1997. - Der Zeitgeist posts a counter-meme. - lucklucky blames cultural Marxism. - Simon Tan pops out of nowhere to make a three-word reply to an undetermined post. There are two pages of "welcome back" replies. - Ryan refutes a post from the first page with an entirely unconnected counter-example and multiple videos. - Roman reminds everyone of something he said last year and posts a link as proof. He also blames Ukraine. - Every Eastern European and every other Nordic member blasts Roman. - Glenn makes a predictably wrong prediction. - Josh, RETAC and Rich jump down Glenn's throat. - Stuart replies to everyone with more walls of text. - Doug Richards gives the Australian perspective and notes he really doesn't like New Zealanders. There is a multi-page exchange of inter-Commonwealth stereotypes by British, Canadian and Australian posters. - bojan disagrees with Stuart because, Kosovo. sunday disagrees with Doug because, Catholicism. futon disagrees with everyone because, Japanese imperialism. DKTanker disagrees with everyone, because. - Someone complains that the TankNet RoE are no longer being enforced. - The thread is locked. - One month later, Dawes starts a new thread on an incremental development of the original topic. Happy New Year everyone!

futon Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Colin, Ssnake, Yama, alejandro, etc., keep making queen-drama-less good posts.
BansheeOne Posted January 1, 2023 Author Posted January 1, 2023 Which is boring, hence they don't appear here. I regret if anyone has unfairly not been offended, though.
Angrybk Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I’ve been here 25 years and the bastard left me out
Angrybk Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) E5m responds to innocuous post about air traffic control procedures with rant blaming all the shitlibs and how you can’t reason with them you can only murder them. S/F. Other posters respond with “I love this guy, he tells it like it is!” josh writes angry post and next day posts “whatever, man, I was drinking. “ Edited January 1, 2023 by Angrybk
Angrybk Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Rich responds to simple question about tank with impeccably researched angry screed - “the M4564 experimental light tank only had 23mm of front plate and that was by design given contemporary US Army doctrine! Everybody knows that, why are you such a moron?! Have you ever even read FM-27446422676b??” Edited January 1, 2023 by Angrybk
Angrybk Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Angrybk slowly lifts himself out of wheelchair and wheezes “but seriously guys what happened to JOE BRENNAN? And Tony Evans didn’t believe in evolution but so what, why did you ban him?? Also let me tell you about 9/11” [ok stopping] Edited January 1, 2023 by Angrybk
BansheeOne Posted January 1, 2023 Author Posted January 1, 2023 Sorry man, I knew going into this I'd think of more examples the moment I'd hit "submit", and promptly remembered I should have included e. g. Skywalkre's ramblings about True Conservativism after I did. The thing is, at some point you have to post, or it turns into another endless text I researched for hours and everyone TL;DRs. Which would have been too stereotypical.

Angrybk Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 1) this roast should be an annual tradition. 2) I’ve learned more about military stuff, viewpoints of people from other countries, etc. than I’ve ever learned in fancy pants colleges.

Stuart Galbraith Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Is it ok if I don't reply with a wall of text for once and prove the lie? Because you pretty much nailed it in every respect.

Angrybk Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 2 hours ago, Sardaukar said: Damn...didn't even get honorable mention Sardaukar gets drunk and starts ranting about how Russians are subhuman animals, Yama and sardaukar both agree that Ukrainians are hopelessly incompetent and if they had some Finns with a year of conscript service the war would be over in minutes!

BansheeOne Posted January 2, 2023 Author Posted January 2, 2023 Because he's not in "every" TankNet thread, and doesn't contribute to the typical derailment. 😉 I see there needs to be an amended version of the OP though, since too many people are complaining that they didn't get ridiculed, too. 🤔

lucklucky Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Wow i am now a famous person. Shouldn't the title be "Because Tanknet"?
BansheeOne Posted January 3, 2023 Author Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) All right, after due consideration of additional applications and nominations, here's the extended version.

He also blames Ukraine. - Every Eastern European and every other Nordic member blasts Roman.

Edited January 3, 2023 by BansheeOne
DB Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Point of order... Quote - Roman reminds everyone of something he said last year and posts a link as proof. He also blames Ukraine. Most commonly Roman blames the mythical pro-Western leadership regime in Russia. He won't blame Ukraine, because as eny fule kno, it doesn't exist.
