Yoott: Remember back when this wasn't and is not a sheriff event and remember back when all the top clans were not the only ones running sheriff accounts........ and also during said sheriff events you had 100 accounts running for 3 days not 160 + accounts running for a month + ....... seems we will be giving out a lot more prizing this time around....

Laera: Actually, any post that goes up on our portal has a thread automatically generated by Content_WG. It's just the way the system works. Sometimes for special events such as Player Gatherings or Contests, we can direct the news article to a specific thread, but that is only used in special cases.
Contrary to popular belief, it's not an actual account that staff hide behind. The only posts you'll ever see it make are news announcements.

pizzastorm: I was talking about the trap shot. Had no idea this was possible.

pizzastorm: TS3 seems to be the overwhelming answer.

We use it here at WGA as well.

pizzastorm: As some people have mentioned already, scouting is a very difficult role to learn and do well (at least for me). On the plus side it can be one of the most useful roles for your team. Yes you are not going to being doing crazy amounts of damage, but a good scout can make it pretty far up the list in experience earned due to spotting damage.

I definitely need to do some more research on this role.

pizzastorm: I thought that was just general knowledge

pizzastorm: This exists?! Wow. Learn something new everyday

pizzastorm: We do enjoy a good conspiracy theory.

pizzastorm: Congrats on improving your game. You should take CandianGuitar up on his offer if you can. He knows what he is doing.

Other then that, the forums are flooded with helpful tips for newcomers. With a little bit of digging you can find quite a bit of good info.

Yoott: people on the accounts play all over as they are from all over. I am in SF and I even logged about half my games on east so I know there are players there.

dance210: The FAQ has a really nice description of how to join a battle here.
Special battles will pop in-game. Ready up the tanks, move them to the top portion of the window. When the timer finishes its countdown, battles will automatically start for everyone readied up in the correct location.

CatStalker: Yes, I can. It's not happening.
I'd recommend watching these videos to help understand some of the complexities of the game. Some of the details have changed in the past few months, but the concepts still apply.
Good luck.

krazyone: Hey Tankers,
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
This issue has already been sent to the development team and we hope to have the issue resolved soon.

pizzastorm: Very nice regardless of the draw.

dance210: If you clicked "Join Tournament" before Registration closes, your team will be accepted. You should also be able to check the status of your team by going directly to the team page.
Once the matches are scheduled, they are published on the main tournament page. Again, by going to your team page you can see what teams y'all will be facing. As for the group, the only what to find that is to search through them until you find your team. For the early blitzes, during the week I try to get everything done by an hour after registration closes; the later blitz is normally published ~60 min later, although that time varies.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know. Good luck!!

dance210: Could you explain what is broken, especially in regards to eSports (feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to discuss things). Sorry your feel things aren't getting fixed :(

dance210: Are you talking about the page when you click on the team name? If yes, then it should be updated now. You will see the results from Monday and if you scroll all the way down to the bottom, you will see the newest scheduled battle.
If you're talking about the tournament page itself, that should show tonight's battles as well  

pizzastorm: Very well played. Good movement and firing positions. Most people would not know how and when to retreat to a better position.

Way to go.

pizzastorm: Let us know if you get that top gun you are looking for

CatStalker: I've seen a few people talk about having this issue, though most are not from what I've heard. If it's an issue, I'd recommend clearing your browser's cache and history to see if that fixes it.

pizzastorm:
This! It confused me when I first saw it too. I thought I was rolling ridiculous rolls on some low alpha medium tanks  

pizzastorm: It is very possible to do quite well running solo pubs. This is what I have done for a majority of my games. Granted, I learned a lot from some purple players and the forums. I would follow Jmo79's suggestion and look around for some helpful tankers to platoon with.

CatStalker: My T34 gets tier 10 games very frequently. It's awesome because the gun is powerful enough to deal a good amount of damage, and those tier 10s = $$

CatStalker: M18 Hellcat - El Halluf. 2488XP, 9 kills (Radley-Walter's) - Replay Link
Started by running right to the top of the hill and working my way down into the flank of their base, used the Hellcat's wonderful depression to take advantage of the angles and got lucky surviving a few shots.
It definitely wasn't a perfect game, I took unnecessary damage and missed shots I could have taken another second to make. All in all though, the team got carried and I got a new personal record, 2488 w/ premium.
Thanks for taking a look :D

CatStalker: no, it's not...

pizzastorm: Please try to avoid team damaging your team, regardless of the reason.
Even if they are the ones who are starting it, our automated team killing system takes no prisoners when it comes to team damage.
We would hate to see your account suspended for such a reason. Ignoring the player will allow the system to hit the person who deserves the penalty.
Thanks for bringing this question to the forums. And thanks for the wise words everyone.

Captain_Judo: Disputes are due on the day of the battle. Forward us the email you sent yesterday to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com for review.
