The_Chieftain:   Fair question. I'll see if it's on the server yet.

dance210:   If neither teams earns 3 wins, it is considered a draw and neither team will move on to the next round.

-THM- One team was DQ'd due to a dispute for a rule violation.   If there is a tie for one (or more) of the 2 spots from each group that moves on that is unbreakable by tiebreaker rules, the tiebreaker matches will immediately follow group play. Captains, we will contact you via in-game message if this is the case.   Good luck in your matches tonight.

The_Chieftain:   On my list for the next sequence of filming. Once I get to actually do it, instead of typing reports and budgets about what I would be spending if I weren't typing reports and budgets.... In fairness, some activities in end May are taking up a substantial amount of my time right now as well.  

The_Chieftain:   Apparently the last batch got lost somewhere between cameraman and editor. We've found it again.  

The_Chieftain: That's the T88. I'm pushing for it to be a premium US arty. I'm trying to get T24 in as a backup plan. We have an SD model for it, but I don't know how long it would take to get a releasable model in and balanced. It would be low tier, but a cheap crew trainer.

Yoott: He can do like 9 of those while waiting for arty to reload

The_Chieftain: Rita's article is not the end of the story.   It was apparently the case that given that M56 is such a specialized vehicle, it was feared that there would be great dissatisfaction from players who paid money for a vehicle that "sucks." Of course, their using it incorrectly isn't our fault, but the perception is a concern. As a result, it was considered to pull it from being a regular premium,  and events or rewards etc were the next solution,    That proposal hasn't sat massively well with all parties (Not least WGNA), with an internal push to make it an aquireable Premium again, just with a particular emphasis to make clear ahead of time that this is a vehicle with zero armor, so addressing the perception issue. Until a conclusion overall is obtained as to what we're going to do with the thing, the vehicle has been pushed back to a later date.

Trevzor: Good luck out there tonight!   Before anyone complains to Hyp about map selection, please note that a Random Map Selection Device (pictured below) was used to determine what maps were played tonight.     GL;HF!

The_Chieftain: Idiots.   http://www.irishexam...ent-328113.html   Drunken Irish revellers who wore Hitler masks just yards from a Jewish quarter while on a stag party in Prague have been branded a “truly repulsive” and an “embarrassment to Ireland”.

Hypnotik: There are 64 teams which met the entry requirements. Since 32 teams move on to round 2, that means that 32 teams will be eliminated tonight (and the other 32 will earn 2,500 if they get at least 7 total points). Tonight's matches will be used in seeding the groups for tomorrow night, when only the top 2 in each division will make it through to the playoffs, so play your best to get the easiest road to success tomorrow night.   Tonight's matches begin at 5:00 PM PST (8:00 PM EST)   Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Ammowhacked[JSOCT]

The_Chieftain: I'm not quite sure how that's going to work. That sort of selectable ratio is inherently going to have people click 100% (or the highest allowable). I'll put forward any suggestions which you lay out for the next time, but a balance still has to be struck between "a portion of the proceeds", ending up with a donation size which is respectable, and our own not losing a month's worth of revenue from certain sources. I'm not involved in how such things are calculated, but I presume the folks whose job it is have a methodology to do this. WG gives a few hundred thousand to non-profits every year, the MAM charity drive is just the major one that the players consciously contribute to in NA.

dance210:   I haven't been working on it for a while....it does take time for the system to pay out 4000+ players with multiple rewards and someone else was helping.   Don't know if everyone has been paid and won't be able to check until tomorrow. If you feel the need to check, please email tournaments@wargamingamerica.com with your in-game name, team name and tournament...someone will see it tomorrow.   Support tickets don't work for tournament issues, so I would strongly suggest not doing that.

The_Chieftain: Doubt it. The Armor Museum moved to Benning. But it's not really open to the public.

The_Chieftain: Posted on another thread, but I'll put it here too. ------------------------------ A couple of comments.    Every time we do this, we tweak things a bit to find out the sentiment of players. Instead of reading forum posts, since words are cheap, we let players put their money where their mouths are.   Last year, we introduced the concept of the "selectable target." Players could select which charity in particular of the group to support, or all of them. By keeping track of this, we could see which ones the players were most interested in supporting. If the player didn't want to do the percentage, we encouraged them to go to the charity directly, but there was, of course, no way for us or the charity to figure out if it was a redirect, or someone who was just donating "off the street", as it were.   This year, we've added another tweak. Now, on the portal, there are hot links saying "donate directly". These link to a fundrazr site, with a counter. If you want to do a 100% donation, go ahead and do it. At the end of the month, we'll be able to track how many people really like the combination of getting personal benefit in the game with the smaller donation, vs those who want to donate the 100% and get nothing back for themselves. Literally, putting money where their mouths are. That should give us all a good indication as to which perspective is in the majority.   So, buy a bundle, donate directly, or do nothing at all, as you will. But until we get the data, it's hard to say which is "best"

Lert: The 90mm on KaJaPa is the same one on RU251. Being a tier 8 premie it won't be very powerful gun-wise. Should have good DPM and great mobility though.

dance210:   Yes, the entire eSports department was in Poland until Tuesday. Yes, we are the ones who do the official standings and tournament payouts.   Yes, we said we would try to get everyone paid by Friday. We are also in the Pacific time zone so it isn't even 5 pm for us yet.   And yes, every tournament can take up to 7 days after the end of the tournament to be paid - so we aren't that far off.   Also as an FYI all names have been submitted, so it's just a matter of the prizes going through now.

pizzastorm: Hello Tankers,   Good news! Our support team is now allowing 4 exceptions a year, instead of 1 exception per account.    What this means is that you, the Player, can contact our Customer Support department to potentially have an in-game action reversed, or a previously sold vehicle restored.   Some examples of things that CAN be rolled back -   - Accidental Gold to Credit conversions - Tank Restorations (You can request multiple vehicles per Exception) - Accidental Ammunition purchases using Gold - Reversing accidental garage slot purchases.   For a more information on this new policy please read this knowledgebase article - https://na.wargaming.net/support/Knowledgebase/Article/View/396/18/what-are-exceptions-and-how-do-they-work   Feel free to contact support with any questions that you may have.   ***Edit**** This policy will not start until 05/05/15

The_Chieftain:   Disappearing rounds. He loads one straight into the chamber, then loads the magazine. Then, for some reason, he cocks the weapon twice (Thus, theoretically ejecting two rounds) before shooting.
