veganzombiez: Should be live August 31.  I'll update in the Info thread if it changes.

veganzombiez: Tank selection should be going live on August 31.  I will update if there are delays.

NyxWGA: Images deleted, mod is under review currently.  

The_Chieftain:   Yep. They gave me some pretty fair challenges to research this time around.   General Direction goes by the name of Kevin. He's been the lead link for the NA market for Master of Orion the last half year or so. I believe Barnett goes by "thatbarnettbloke"

dance210:   Thanks. Razer Arena is running the tourney, so I'll pass this on to them to get fixed.

dance210:   I copied the prize information directly from the Prize tab on the Razer tournament page. Where did the other prize information come from?

Njourour: Closed Thread due to excessive arguing.

The_Chieftain: They're known, oddly enough, as "The Louisiana Maneuvers"   https://en.m.wikiped...siana_Maneuvers

Njourour: Please remember to be polite to one another even if you do not agree with one another. 

The_Chieftain: What do you need help with? The story seems reasonable. Indeed, part of the criticisms of the maneuvers was that the rules were stacked against the tanks, for example, they could only "kill" an AT gun by running it over

Volier_Zcit: Thread Closed

Volier_Zcit: Locking thread due to off topic postings and unnecessary arguments.

Volier_Zcit: Please refrain from creating multiple threads just to cause unrest here in the Forums. Thread locked.

Players will face off in an epic 1v1 clash on Mittengard for gold and glory!! Don't have a tier VII light tank? Don't worry! You can rent the Chinese Type 62 and blast your way to victory! Tournament page Registration Joining a tournament and earning a prize is easier than ever! In the Light Throwdown, single-player teams are split into groups, with each group having no more than 10 teams. Facing all other teams in their group, the best tier VII light tank commander will earn the 1st place prize - a cool 500 gold!

If it has been more than seven days OR if there is a problem with the prize, please contact tournaments@wargamingamerica.com.

NyxWGA: Your recent posts have been far too political. Admiration for your own country is one thing, but when you are bashing other countries, other belief systems, and calling other folks names, then it's no longer acceptable. We are done discussing nationalism, and we are done discussing the Nazi's. Period. End of story. That goes for the rest of you as well, not just the OP.  

dance210: Let the "Throwdown" begin! With the popularity of our weekly Saturday Throwdown's, we have decided to double the fun! Each Thursday there will be a 1v1 Throwdown at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET. However, the Thursday Throwdowns will focus on specific tiers. This week focuses one of the most popular tiers - tier VIII! Speedy and powerful light tanks like the T49, brawling juggernauts like the IS-3, the ultimate heavy in dealing out damage quickly, the AMX 50 100, or damage dealing TDs like the Skorpion or T28 prototype - which tank will you pick?  Tournament page Registration  Stop by, sign up and join the competition! Tournament InformationTeam size: 1 Map: Mittengard Tier limit: 8 Any tank allowed

NyxWGA: This thread is far too political. We will not continue to argue about whether those are or are not swastikas (they are too similar to be left up, discussion closed) or about which nation was superior and why or about the history behind the symbol.   It doesn't matter who used it when, it matters for the purpose of the forums that it is a symbol close enough to be construed as a swastika. We won't be posting those images, and we won't be having these sorts of arguments. 

GhostPrime:   ​

GhostPrime:   This is correct

dance210:   Don't worry, I'm sure we'll play strongholds again...maybe we'll see you one of these days   Yay! Hope to see you over there sometime Silver <3  

dance210:   LOL! Too true 

The_Chieftain: The Chi-Ri is now starting to look somewhat more like a tank.   http://i.imgur.com/WQpJyt1.jpg   A glue accident is going to have to lead to some sanding on the turret roof, but I am rather disturbed by the fact that the sprocket and idler wheels fit loosely. If they were rubber-band tracks, I'd be in serious trouble. Hopefully these individual links will be reasonable and not put tension on them.   Overall, the fit has varied from outstanding on the major parts, to questionable on small things like hatches.

GhostPrime:   That's amazing! Half Tracks are pretty cool, and That gun on this one is insane. 

dance210:   GG was fun facing you guys   And Vanion should have totally let you do whatever it is you normally do (as long as it wasn't a bad thing) 

dance210:   AFAIK you can play the ladders and tournaments for free. Paying for a FACEIT premium account is needed for the ranked ladder.

The_Chieftain:   Camping has apparently gotten more luxurious since I was in...   Wait. If there are tanks around, why aren't you sleeping -on- the tank?

Volier_Zcit: There's really no point in letting this thread open. Thread closed.

The_Chieftain:   I am plotting my revenge on himself and poopworm.

dance210:  We are re-introducing our Clan Spotlights and have formalized how to get your Clan on our radar. Are you a Commander or Executive Officer for your Clan? Do you want to tell the World of Tanks community what makes your Clan so great in a Clan Spotlight? Maybe your Clan is part of a larger community of Clans or you focus on training others or your a powerhouse on the Clan Wars map. Each Clan Spotlight is made up of two parts - an interview with the Clan officers and a night dedicated to introducing your Clan to the wider community. Fill out this form to request a Clan Spotlight for your Clan! If your Clan is selected for a Clan Spotlight, we will contact you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below. However, the only way to request a Clan Spotlight is through this form. Good luck and see you on the battlefield!

dance210:   Razer Arena is running it, so you may want to ask the admin of the tournament. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

dance210: Razer Arena is running a 5v5 $4K Clash tournament, and all players are encouraged to participate!   This tournament will start with a round robin qualifier where two winning teams from each qualifier group will advance to the finals, a double elimination bracket.    You can find the full rules and register here.   Basic tournament information: Team size: 5 active players + 2 reserves Tier: max of tier VII Battle length: 7 minutes Time between battles: 3 minutes   Prizes: Place Prize 1st $1,500 USD per team 3,000 gold per player 2nd $1,200 USD per team 2,000 gold per player 3rd $800 USD per team 1,000 gold per player 4th $500 USD per team 750 gold per player 5th - 8th 500 gold per player   Schedule: September 3rd September 4th September 10th September 17th September 18th   Please see full schedule here for exact times for each round

dance210: All active tournaments can be found by searching the Tournaments Home Page. Interested in what we having coming up? Check out the eSports calendar!  A player has two ways to register for the Platournaments! When you create the team, make sure that you are using the correct registration!Register as a Team! Registration works the same as normal. Team captain makes a team and recruits players to join. A complete team has 3 - 4 players. Captains do not need to submit their team; all teams with the minimum number of players will be accepted. The team is now ready to fight once the tournament starts! Register as a Solo player or as part of a Party! A party is a group of players that does not meet the minimum team size requirements. Create a team. Teams do not need to be confirmed; all players will be accepted for the Solo/Party Registration. Once registration has closed, the player will be combined with other solo player(s) and/or a party to form a complete team After registration has closed, players are encouraged to check back to find their new team!  So how do you register as a solo player? It's easy! When you create a team, there will be Registration Option with a drop down menu. Simply switch from Register Team to Register Solo and you are ready to go!

dance210:   I answered him somewhere. Yes, links are accepted. I would prefer it to be posted directly on the forums, but it's not required.

dance210: Well, seeing as people can't just be nice and say congrats, I'm locking this thread.   Again, huge congrats to the winners and a great job to everyone who participated. There were so many awesome videos and it was really hard to only pick a few to win!

dance210: There were many excellent recruitment videos submitted, well done everyone! With the number of submissions, we have decided to add in a 5th - 6th place prize!   Congratulations to the winners! The Clan prizes will be distributed by end of day today!   1st place: AR-PA   2nd place: EMPER   3rd - 4th place: GNRC   PSYCO   5th - 6th place: -PUA-   T-F-E  

GhostPrime:   Play in the  8,8 cm Pak 43 Jagdtiger Tank Destroyer, and deal as much damage as you can. You can unlock the rental of the tank during this week for 24 hours.   

GhostPrime:   Its open for players with 2,000 battles or less. You have 1,500, so you qualify.   

GhostPrime:   Exactly!
