As Smin, Stona, Pacifica and Magazine, too

Breathe sighs of relief, the poor admin crew

The message was posted: the update's impending

So a couple of more hours and this thread here is ending

 

Tomorrow 'round noon the first Swede tanks wil shoot

People start grinding for their take of the loot

New medals to fight for, achievements to unlock

Vehicles to spade after receiving them stock

 

Alas, for the admins, the story restarts

As a new thread is created, sure to pain their hearts

For it's pages of off-topic posts they will need to hide

'bout Mirages and Starfighters - keep the next thread polite!

I'm stocked up on Toilet paper, energy drinks, canned meat and hand sanitizer! All I need now is my Viking Fury update and extra water to flush out the  from all the incoming salt. The grind is real boys the grind is very real. I might actually spend some money and there not even any sales  I'm thinking this is one of the best updates ever Gajin may need to be rewarded.

This thread was one of the most intense and fiery ones in long time. It gave me the 1.57 rumor round up vibes . 
Thank you everyone for being active and even salty at points. Conflicts show the good side of people and their mental stability . 
It has been such a thrill ride . See you in the 1.99 section and in the battlefields and skies of Viking fury . 
until then 
( in Brooklyn 99 fashion ) NINE NINE !!

Out of Asgård's gates
A chariot of gold
Pulled along the way
By Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjost

Crackling thunder roars
All across the world
As he rides to war
The champion of Midgård

Thor!
Let your hammer fly
Let the lightning crack the blackened skies
Thor!
Let your hammer fly
Let the lightning crack the blackened skies
Thor!
Let your hammer fly
Let the lightning crack the blackened skies
Thor!
Let your hammer fly
Let the lightning crack the blackened skies

Travelling 'round the horn
These mates of battery
To a land forlorn
Thor and hammer Mjölner

Let your hammer fly
Let it fly
Crack the blackened sky
Crack the sky

Let your hammer fly
Let it fly
Crack the blackened sky
Crack the sky

Besieged by countless foes
His eyes they are aglow
Longing for the fight
He stands upon a mound
Doesn't aim the throw
Just lets the hammer fly

Thor!
Let your hammer fly
Let the lightning crack the blackened skies
Thor!
Let your hammer fly
Let the lightning crack the blackened skies
Thor!
Let your hammer fly
Let the lightning crack the blackened skies
Thor!
Let your hammer fly
Let the lightning crack the xxxx skies
