pizzastorm: The story so far... You wake up on a hard, cold floor. Brushing the dust and cobwebs from your clothes, your eyes slowly adjust to the darkness, revealing a dingy unfurnished room. Surveying the ancient, torn wallpaper, the lack of windows, stacks of partially collapsed boxes, and foul, musty odor, you determine you are somewhere in the midst of old house; perhaps the attic.   You shuffle forward, delicately making your way through the darkness towards the door. Grasping the door, you quietly turn the knob only to hear the click of a stuck lock. Behind you something growls deeply.   Heart beating heavily, you run out and slam the door shut behind you. Once you catch your breath, you realize you’re not alone in the hallway. Several pairs of eyes stare at you, but at least these are human. Suddenly a loud crashing comes from the end of the hallway. The other people jump into defensive positions and prepare to fight. It’s going to take all of you to overtake this monster.   Success!   The group defeats the monster and cautiously makes their way into the next room. You peer around the corner and down a long staircase. Sliding your way to the stairs, you’re thankful the dust muffles your footsteps. That is until you kick a small, hard object and it tumbles its way down the stairs. Thud. Thud. Thud. Surprisingly, the noise stops on something soft. Relieved, you let out a deep breath a little too loudly. Suddenly dozens of eyes stare up at you and a chittering screech fills your ears.   Your Task:  This battle is going to take everything you’ve got. Be one of the top five XP earners in a VICTORIOUS battle from today or tomorrow morning and post the battle report here to defeat this creature.    Prize: 1 day of Premium Time (credited at the end of Mystery Mayhem) and a single entry for a chance to win a Premium Vehicle. (Prizes will be credited at the end of Mystery Mayhem)   Deadline: This thread will close at 10 AM PDT on Thursday, October 30th, 2014.   How to take a screenshot

dance210: Generally, the winners are really posted anywhere. If people think it's helpful, I may try listing the winners on the tournament page, which you should still be able to access through the links in the OP.  

dance210: Haha you're cute...trusting anything automatic    If I do it, then the registration will be open for ~48 hr. I want to do a week of 24 hr then a week of 48 hr registration...after that I'll be looking for feedback to see what y'all think :)

dance210:   I may try doing that next week.   Part of the objective is ease of registration - you sign up on Tuesday and play on Wednesday. But yes, allowing a slightly longer registration could help teams fill open spots.   One thing I don't want to happen though, is to have so many daily tournaments open that people can't remember which one they signed up for :)

Capitao_Desastre_: Temos seis vencedores! Parabéns a Grandaark, SGT_ROSSI, SESD95, Gaius_Caligula, JACKESTRIPADOR e SapoBoi!

2000 gold divididos por seis pessoas são 333,333, mas para facilitar as contas vamos arredondar o valor para 350 gold. Não é muito, mas sempre é um valor mais redondo.

Capitao_Desastre_: E temos uma nova campanha de recrutamento para o alpha de Warships: http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/11252-na-closed-alpha-test-recruitment/   Se estiverem interessados, passem pelo tópico e dêem uma olhada nos requisitos.

The_Chieftain:   Just once, I'd like the guy commenting to say something like "Well, that didn't work as intended" or "Ooops"

The_Chieftain:   Why would the Brits name a vehicle which they didn't use? (i.e. M36). There has been no reliable citation of "Wolverine" as a name used by -anyone-, be it Canadian, British, French, American... And Storm refuses to change it, on the basis that he wants vehicles to have names, not alphanumerics.

The_Chieftain:   Yeah, but neither of those two were nicknames that the British gave.

HBFT:   This guide is here so that players can participate in the Mystery Mayhem contests.  It did not occur to me that so many people were without this information.  

HBFT:   I do not have an explanation for that one.  I suppose we are the 1% of the internet? =\  

HBFT:   Nope, if you submitted a screenshot by any other means, they are still valid. I just decided to display the way that I do it.

dance210:   Have you tried PMing HBFT or pizzastorm, to see if they can help?

dance210: Breathe, relax...   There are two different things going on. The email was for the in-game missions (logging in, winning a battle, etc) that, when completed, will earn the players a T14 or the gold equivalent. There are no screenshots needed for that; it's all in game.   This thread is for the forums Mystery Mayhem. Because it is forum games, screenshots are required.   Similar names, two completely different contests/missions :)

Koenig_Tiger: Or is it this one ??? Neither really shows all you need...    

Triple_Crown: Or is it this one ??? Neither really shows all you need...

The_Chieftain:   Pity it's not X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. Still, I may well take a look....   On other matters, while the long-term discussions about forum in general continue in the various staff here, we're fed up with the report wars going on right now, many of those who are involved hang out in this thread too. And I don't care what your personal opinion or bias is on the subject, multiple people are report-warring other people. So an official notice is going up soon by KMaus somewhere, the big question has been do we start hitting people now who have already been doing the report warring, or do we give people a chance that they're on notice. The baiting and munchkining has been going on long enough and it's been taking up too much of support staff's time.

pizzastorm:   Nope  just those who would like a day of premium.

HBFT: Posting a screenshot to the forums can be a bit confusing at times, so I've decided to share how I go about sharing wonderful pictures with all of you!   1) Go to "imgur" in a web browser. 2) Find the image that you would like to upload to "imgur".  (You can find it either on your computer or on the internet) 3) Select "upload images" at the top of the "imgur" website.   4A) If you are uploading an image from your computer, then find your image and drag it into the "drag and drop here" section. 4B) If you are uploading an image from the internet, then copy and paste the image URL into the "enter URLs to upload from web".   5) Click on "Start Upload". 6) Left-Click on your image.   7) Copy the imgur link to your image.   8) Go to your forum post and click on the "Image" tool.   9) Paste in the imgur link under "URL" and select "OK"   Your image should now appear!

HBFT: Locking this thread to prepare for Mystery Mayhem: Day 2! xD

Tanitha:   -10 rep on the OP already.. in 3 mins.. Wow this server's ruthless : )   Edit , refresh = 16 geez.   /Tan

Tanitha:   Of course.. Got to look, before issuing bans and closing the thread up..   Ahh wait, I don't work here any more..
Logging out, and heading back to WG Asia..   /Tan.  

pizzastorm:  

pizzastorm:  

Tanitha: Hello Aus    Bump.... This section still used ? : )

Anyway.. I'm heading off to Anzac Albany event soon. http://www.anzacalbany.com.au/   Anyone going? Anyone interesting in some news coverage I do up for the event?   Regards
Tan.

Capitao_Desastre_:   Pois, nesta não vai dar. Mas nas On Tracks dá para fazer isso 

dance210: FYI, registration is now open for 10.29.14 

Tanitha:     Thanks for the great work in the past. Will continue to collaborate with you over the seas : ) and welcome to production..   Regards
Tan.

pizzastorm: 230 pages!!!!!!!!!!!    This is crazy.    

Tanitha:   Hello Xwright.. Long time no chat.. **HUGS**   Just a little correction to that bit.. I'm strict about making sure the rules/ procedures were being followed, as they were written..   Although the sanction times desired by HQ originally were way too long. It took a lot of effort to get those sanction times reduced, which I've done on about 3 occasions now.. so sanctions are down to what they are now days..   Originally for example, insults to devs/staff was 14 days Ro for 1st offense.. a repeat of that would have gotten you 30 days the 2nd time around. Now these are down to about 1 day..   Regards
Tan.  

Tanitha:   Regards
Tan

Capitao_Desastre_:   Aí é questão de terminar a missão antes do desconto.

Capitao_Desastre_:   Bem apanhado, HanderTeyker, não tinha notado essa. Já vou pedir para corrigirem na página. 

Tanitha:   Aye , that info is a couple of years old now though. I dont think its current any more.   Please feel free to pm one of the current community staff for an update.

Regards
Tan.
