dance210: I see no sign of enemy direction or laser barrels being used in this screenshot. I also didn't see any sign of illegal mods when I reviewed their replays that were sent to me.  

dance210: There is nothing that I can do about Round 2 not popping. There isn't even a good reason why it didn't work, as the backend tools all say everything was set up correctly. Because the battles did pop, the tools treat the battles as if it didn't exist. Teams won't need to make it up, they will have just played one less battle last night.

The_Chieftain: I figured that would get a laugh. I forced the camerman to climb out in order to get the shot.

The_Chieftain: I'll be curious to see what happens.

dance210: Eh, we've been requesting more control over in-game limitations. With the new TMS, I'm hoping that it will come sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we still have the dispute process which works fairly well  

dance210: Haha thanks!! And I'm happy to be back and catch up on everything that I missed :-D

dance210:   The scoop on...what?

Content_WG: More from the US attaché in Moscow -- the first reports of new German tanks seen around Kursk.

Trevzor: We here in the WGA eSports department agree that a tournament with the 8-Ball would be super rad. Unfortunately, the 8-Ball can't be brought into tournaments     We have requested from our developers that future event tanks be available for use in the tournament system (really since soccer mode years ago) but have currently had little luck with getting it to happen. Honestly, even having the event map available is sometimes not possible. dance210 and I happened to see it in the tournament system backend and thought that it would be neat, so we tested it and it worked. Right now, it's the best we can do

Trevzor:   Full disclosure... I know for a fact that I didn't know this until right now and I am fairly certain that dance didn't know either. Yay for random happenstance!

dance210: If battles don't pop this time, then there isn't much I can do unfortunately

dance210: Battles have been re-scheduled. First battle should pop in ~6 min, with battles starting at 7:20 pm PT

dance210: Trevz isn't in the office I don't think. Gimme a sec

dance210:   Yep.

dance210: I think it may be lost in space
  (I'll ask him about it; I'm sure you'll get it soon. Maybe)  

dance210: People have said if you log out/log back in or use a different browser it will often work

dance210:   The Spanish and Portuguese pages auto-populate with certain information that is out of my control; other than that information, we do not update those pages. For example, there is no prizing shown on the Spanish/Portuguese pages, does that mean they shouldn't receive any? (The correct answer is no). FYI, many Spanish/Portuguese teams brought the correct line-up and not all the disputes were against Spanish/Portuguese teams...   I'm not sure what you want added. Our tournament tools are global - we are the only region use the ratio of points possible to points earned, and to combine several rounds in the group stage. Doing this is a low priority. I also like having control of the standings outside of the tournament tools, as it allows me to adjust scores manually if there is ever a server issue that only affects a few battles.

Trevzor: Tournament page Registration This is it. The Final Frontier. You and your trusty war-machine will go 1 on 1 with other tankers in SPACE! Will you and your trusty Iron Steed have what it takes to rule the Moon? Stop by, sign up and join the competition! Tournament InformationTeam size: 1 Map: Crater Max tier allowed: 3 !Important note: Physics in World of Tanks (specifically gravity) is applied to the tank and not the map. That means that, sadly, the awesome jumps and special events for this map won't be happening in this tournament. This will strictly be a 1v1, no cap, throwdown.

Pigeon_of_War:   I'm always lurking. In almost every thread.    Coo, by the way. 

dance210:  

dance210:   There was no snafu. I'm processing the disputes along with scheduling today's tournaments and opening up new tournaments for next week - basically a normal Monday with additional stuff to do. As I mentioned, I may not get around to it until today as I was working while in Poland.   As soon as I get through the disputes I'll put up the official standings. IMO it doesn't make sense to do it before then as they will likely be wrong.       Thank you everyone for your patience and I hope to get it all done by tomorrow and get the gold out ASAP. Poland was great but I'm happy to be back and doing more tournaments for  y'all :-D

The_Chieftain:   Although angling was mentioned in the Tiger manual, it no longer is taught. Part of the problem is that it's angling only to the one target that you're currently worried about. It may, however, increase your vulnerability to something off to your target's side who is now going to be very happy at a flank shot. The other problem is that Tiger just had ridiculous side armor to begin with.   It is of note that when the New Orleans class cruisers were designed, in order to keep the weight down to treaty limitations, they calculated protection on the assumption that the ship would be angled at least 30 degrees to whatever was shooting at it, then made it sufficiently thick to stop the expected incoming rounds.

NyxWGA: We've gotten pretty inappropriate at this point folks. We do not wish to silence opinions and we are listening to your feedback, but we can't continue with the particular thread, because folks have gotten too out of hand. Thread closed.

The_Chieftain: Well, that's the Steyr official thing, I have no idea if cheaper manufacturers are out there.   unless you have really sensitive skin, the gas isn't a problem as much as a annoyance, I've been waiting to get an RFB for a long while, now, I don't see a reason for it to change much.

The_Chieftain: There is an argument to be made that when you're looking at the gameplay from player's perspective, you should also show 'what the player knows' in order to better appreciate his decision-making. Now, you can make the argument that there should be a second, 'god mode' overlay with all units shown, I guess.
