Captain_Judo: We'll re-evaluate this for the future of scrimmages. For the month of December, it won't change in fairness to the teams that tied last weekend.

Captain_Judo: Skirmish XXV pitted WAR vs. WAR in what surely must have been a nerve-racking finale!
WAR & PEACE had their work cut out if they planned on defeating a traditional Skirmish powerhouse that had swept every opponent in it's previous five rounds! However, the experience of these tank commanders ultimately prevailed as they defeated WAR - River of Blood​, 3:0

GeneralDirection: No, it should be fixed now.

CatStalker: Just my opinion, but unless you are really sure you need a compact or movable gaming platform, having a laptop for mobile use and desktop for gaming is almost always the better option.

GeneralDirection: As I stated earlier, it might help to open a support ticket.

Mugsy_: Just did a moment ago. Sorta.

Mugsy_: Maybe, but who knows what was on the development plan at that time, or how it was presented and by whom. It is always a good idea to suggest whatever is on your mind because timing is always part of what makes an idea great.
So I am here to listen.

GeneralDirection: Please open a support ticket. They should be able to assist with this since it was done due to an error on our part.

GeneralDirection: This wasn't changed last second. It has been coded for almost a month now as a 40% bonus to credit income.

GeneralDirection: Yeah, hi, I play the game and made the call to change this. Why? Data didn't suggest the old Tech Tree Focus format had a substantial impact on vehicles purchased. So I wanted to try this for a while to see if it has an impact on battles played in those vehicles.

dance210: Honestly, I think that they do adress the community, or at least are quick to take responsibility when there is a mess up. Part of the problem is no matter what they say, someone will not be happy and will complain. And any comments they may make about trying to change things could (and have!) come back to bite them is the a$$ when things didn't work out.
LOL I believe most, if not all, play the game, either as players who joined the staff or staff who became players. Remember, some of the staff have personal accounts, so their company accounts may not show very many battles.

Mugsy_: Suggestion noted, thank you very kindly. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: I know the NA population is smaller than some of our other servers but good ideas are good ideas. We want our game to be the best it can be. Server population doesn't influence the value of a good suggestion.

dance210: Respond to what? It was announced a while ago that the tech tree focus would be changing to a credit bonus instead of the 50% off, starting in Dec. Yes, there was a mistake made during the announcement; GeneralDirection acknowledged that and fixed it. I'm sure they will gather the community feedback for the future, but frankly, they are free to run their events as they see fit. I'm looking forward to the changes, as soon as one of my tanks come up on the rotation
As for picking a community manager, I imagine it's like any other job. A position was open, resumes were reviewed, interviews were conducted and a new person was hired.

dance210: Congrats to the winners!

Mugsy_: Hey SpeakerMagnet,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful suggestion. Input noted. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: Of course we read the forums.

Mugsy_: Hello,
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will forward it along to the appropriate channels.
~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: Feedback noted, thank you very much for giving us a heads up on this matter. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: Hey guys, feedback noted. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. ~ Mugsy_

Captain_Judo: To avoid any possibility of collusion.
Ultimately, the goal of scrimmages are the game-play. We feel the prize is an added bonus.

dance210: Woot!! Grats on the new position Major_Rampage!

Captain_Judo: Definitely a valid point.
We're including the aforementioned tanks in order to squash any possible disqualification melee. We want everyone to play and it would serve no use to simply breeze through rounds due to disqualified teams.
We'll be sure to host another British only skirmish in the near future with better defined rules.

Mugsy_: Yay! Congrats sir!

Captain_Judo: es que las batallas "estandard" estan de moda :P
gracias Pollenz  

GeneralDirection: Thanks, I removed that note about selling the tanks.

Captain_Judo: Rampage, for the win

Captain_Judo: Si, holakc, disculpenos por el error que no lo pudímos corregir a tiempo  
El proximo fin de semana las batallas quedaran en modo "Estandard".
