OldFox: Нет, конечно! Он же играть не будет, зачем мне его скрин? Я прошу скрины только для того, чтобы знать, сколько боев провел каждый играющий член команды за время проведения этапа.

OldFox: Напоминаю: праздники сейчас только в России. У меня еще 3 коммьюнити, у которых праздники, как и у всей Европы, давно закончились.

OldFox: Решение принято - будет 8 команд, сыграем, нет - перенесем.

OldFox: Если в команде есть 3 основных и 1 запасной, все они должны провести один бой. Если вы будете играть втроем, то к чему твой вопрос, не пойму?
Короче, так: если у вас будет 3 скрина, то и принимать участие смогут только 3 человека, которые дали свою статистику. Нет первоначального скрина - нет человека.

OldFox: Я тоже против переноса, но, если надо будет, перенесу. И голосования не будет.
ПС. О, уже 5 команд

LiannaSilverwind: Невозможно не согласиться. Но в данном конкурсе не могут принять участие люди с менее, чем 1000 боев, то есть принимают участие только тертые перцы.
За первых 200 боев человек уж точно перестает быть новичком, хотя нубом может быть и при 20 тысячах боев.
Таким образом и взводный марафон и прогресс января - конкурсы для тру папко.

OldFox: Читаем, что написано вверху - будет 8 команд, не перенесем.

OldFox: Этап, скорее всего, просто перенесем, резервного дня не будет, французов юзайте, иначе зачем их вводили?

OldFox: Посмотрим на количество команд и подумаем.

Decept1on:
passer tout le monde à la caisse, ça marche super bien avec les tanks fr, surtout à plusieurs  

OldFox: Хорошо, прибавлю к разнице 2 единицы при подсчете. Хотя, если кто-то начнет вайнить по данному поводу, как я и ты докажем, что эту двойку надо прибавлять? Лучше найди старый скрин.

OldFox: Запости рядом старый скрин, тогда я буду считать коэффициент по стартовому значению. Количество боев - формальность, и мне бы не хотелось, чтобы она сыграла какую-нибудь роль.

OldFox: А новички - не люди? Для "папок" есть конкурс "Взводный марафон" - нагибайте! А данный конкурс призван стимулировать и поощрять развитие именно новичков. Или вам рекруты в клан не нужны? А откуда они возьмутся, если "папки" везде и все забирать будут?

Decept1on:
non, il ne tire que sur la coupole

OldFox: Drikst.

OldFox: Yes, shure, you can play without reserve player.

OldFox: Good question! First 10 battles. Playing battle difference between the first and the final screenshots from the hangar must be exactly 10.

OldFox: Я еще раньше обещал, что мы установим какой-то минимум боев, поскольку было доказано, что формула сайта с нуля боев не работает. Просто я, когда постил условия конкурса, забыл внести данный пункт. Игрок напомнил, я исправил свою ошибку. Не вижу никакого прецедента

LiannaSilverwind: Офф-топик:

Данное утверждение не является истиной, поскольку в одном из постов было автором внесено предложение на количество боев. Предложение могло быть отклонено, как дискриминирующее определенное количество игроков, доказывающих реальные ограничения формулы. В случае отклонения предложения возник бы спор между организатором конкурса и участником, внесшим предложение ПОСЛЕ начала конкурса.
Предложение было принято ПОСЛЕ объявления конкурса, что могло быть воспринято как позыв к дискредитации правил и организаторов конкурса - участники могут вносить предложения ПОСЛЕ начала конкурса и сие ненаказуемо. Возник интересный прецеденс, поскольку за спор с администрацией некоторые игроки получают от организаторов конкурса РО баны.
В случае желания, можем продолжить дискуссию в Офф-топик секции форума, дабы не омрачать чистоту проведения конкурса.

Overlord: Yes, the accomplished transactions won't be cancelled.

Overlord: There is no "0.25" bug. Credit incomes changed in an unpredicted manner after the 7.0 update and game mechanics changes introduced in it. Planning to see to the situation in 7.2.

Overlord: Because of the strongly negative feedback on the possible introduction of this feature on EU and US servers.

Overlord: Will see how this feature works out on RU server.

Overlord: Exactly.

Overlord: It took some time to disable the required options. There is no need to close the whole shop.

Overlord: Definitely not in 7.2.

OldFox: I don`t realy understand, what are you unhappy? You had good result in december, but not the best, something about 4-5 place. You should be grateful for the second chance to win gold in this contest.
Btw, RU-community at the EU-server is not "whole WoT world", but only 2 000-3 000 players. For example, the Baltic States (LV, LT, EE) have about 8 000 - 9 000 players.
All your posts are offtop, so please stop it. For the first time - warning.

LiannaSilverwind: In fact all Lead SuperMods, many other Mods and SuperMods have spoken with WG representatives and asked for reevaluation of the situation. We, as players, were not happy to hear the former news. Let's see how will it end.

OldFox: Воистину воскрес!

OldFox: You can take part in this contest and show yourself only from the best side. Now you have second chance to win this contest, because you lose in december.

Good luck!

OldFox: А как может не учитываться тот бой, где из трех игроков один остался и ждет окончания боя? Ведь начинали бой трое, и все они будут в финальном списке.
Команде не надо иметь левый акк, потому что команда может иметь, а может и не иметь запасного - это ее дело. Но с запасным просто быстрее и надежнее. Вдруг кто-то вылетит из игры, а вдвоем воевать нельзя?
Список команд будет опубликован в этой теме. Золото распределите сами внутри команды, мне дадите список, кому сколько.
Ты точно переработал, иди отдыхать.

OldFox: В бою обязательно должен быть взвод из 3 человек. Будет в нем запасной или нет, не важно.
Сколько игр будет у запасного, если его не будет на финальных скринах боев, значения не имеет.

OldFox: Никогда не видел взвода из 1 игрока. Делиться на 2+2 нельзя, потому что это уже 2 взвода. В Регламенте указано - 3 игрока + 1 запасной. Не будет 3 игроков, к турниру не допущу.

OldFox: Можно менять.

OldFox: Можно.

OldFox: Да

OldFox: Можно, но нужно успеть до 18:00.

OldFox: Не учитываются

OldFox: Будет доступен. Он надежнее серверов WoT. Нет провайдеров, которые запрещают на него доступ.

OldFox: Будет доступен. Если нет, перенесем ивент.

OldFox: Собьем.

OldFox: Перенесем ивент.

Overlord: It hasn't been released yet, we are improving both client and web functionality for logos.

Overlord: Yes, old accounts get the slot. Newly-registered have 5 as before. So practically 2 slots for free.

Overlord: Yes, agreed. You are right.

Overlord: 1. Practice shows that regular DPM calculations are not valid for the vehicles with revolver systems. Currently both Lorraine and Chatillion are ahead of the counterparts stat-wise, though the data might not be representative because of the relatively small number of battles played on French tanks.
2. All crew members barring driver got secondary loader skill, so if someone is injured, reload time is increased.

Overlord: Did the pre-order ads put it clearly that tanks featured there would be never ever available anywhere? Or was it something like pre-order some gold now and get a unique tank that is not purchasable in game store for free?
I think the latter is closer to the truth.
Edited: My bad.

Overlord: If there is a problem, customer support is at your service.
