Ladies, Gentlemen, and indeterminates....
In celebration of the new forum I provided Violet Viper with a $10 Xbox Live Gift Card (sorry non-US brethren - I know, I'm scum...) for distribution to the winner of a contest. Unfortunately, being the inconsiderate bastich I am, I didn't think she might be too busty busy (Freudian slip?) to run a contest just yet. So I guess I'm forced out of the dark comfort of anonymity to do this myself.
What I'm looking for is a game clip or screen shot that is so unbelievably stupid (by situation, action, or glitch) that it is outright funny. We've all had or seen those WTF moments so it's time to share.
Feel free to provide written commentary or explanation if it helps add to the humor. Just do your best to make us laugh.
Us? Did he say us? Yep. The winner will be the post that has the most likes.
Now for the rules:
1) Must be from World of Tanks - Console. 2) Should be something that you have witnessed (as funny as Jingles is, you can't use his footage). 3) Naming and shaming is actively encouraged - stupidity should be rewarded with fame! 4) I'm giving away a free $10 gift code, why not take a chance? 5) If you want to edit some funny commentary into a video-clip to enhance the humor, feel free! 6) Captions are welcome as well. Hell, make a graphic novel if you want. 7) If I screw this up, it's Violet's fault.
Last, but not least, the contest ends next Monday evening (Eastern time in the US) so we all have the weekend full of potatoes as potential stars.
So, there it is. Free stuff for making us laugh. And, as soon as I figure out how to get UK/Euro gift cards, I'll run one of these for our Old World brethren as well.

Does it have to be things you see or can it be things you do... like going to fast, missing your turn and landing on your turrent off a cliff?

I suppose I can get in on this. I played this Tier II match a few weeks ago in my Tetrarch paired up with a couple buddies in their T1E6-X1's on Himmelsdorf. To say there was a connection issue is an understatement. I'll just let the video do the talking.

Think it was over in about 4 minutes and all us Comets had about 2.5k damage each. This was similar, but the game didn't end nearly as well. xboxclips.com/TKE919/27959f3f-8089-4ca4-8926-7211f334d83a

I've lost count of the number of times, when both sides are about balanced and 'facing off' when one tank just yolos out from the pack straight into the line of fire of the entire opposing team, and I'm not talking suiscouting here. This one tank then gets immediately blasted in less than a second.

Anti Social and Voldemort messaging me are two funniest things that happened to me Do I won? So far, you are actually winning by the "likes count". The question is whether or not hatemail from inferior life-forms count as a "game clip or screen shot".
