dance210:  

dance210: Same as every other tournament, one team seems to get "stuck" and doesn't switch sides. This is a function of our tournament tools, and not something that we can change.  

dance210:  

dance210: Yes, the rules are copy/paste from previous tournaments. And yes, while difficult, it is still possible to end up with a draw using the attack/defense mode. So, no matter how unlikely it is, the rule is kept in as a just in case.

dance210:  

dance210:   Yes, there will be more Late Night Stand-To's!   However, there won't be any this week because we will be in Las Vegas for the Gold League Finals!

dance210:   1. I could have made a mistake. 2. There may have been another tiebreaker rule in effect?   Unfortunately without more information (e.g. the team name), I really can't help figure out what happened

Yoott:   Piece 6: Revealed during the Gold League Finals broadcast on BattleViewer.com. BONUS CODE: Distributed at random during the Finals broadcast, exclusively on BattleViewer.com   The times will be the mystery... and dependent when I want to      

GhostPrime:  

GhostPrime:   Please submit a ticket to support. Please link your post with the image in the ticket so the rep could help you out if you didn't receive a prize and should have.   

GhostPrime:   Thanks again and see you on the Battlefield! Winners were posted here for those who missed them! Congrats again!  

GhostPrime:   Please contact support of this as others have said. Make sure that you do not have mods installed as well. Something may have gone strange, and running mods could have created this issue as a bug with the mod, but that's a guess. The time left is not determined by the game client, but the server. So the information is constant, but a display issue could have occurred for a variety of factors.   

The_Chieftain:   Nope. I'm not tracking it on either of those two. I wonder if they are simply generically saying "tigers and panthers" instead of "AFVs", but the comment is oddly specific.

MeatheadMilitia:   haha thank you! I try to keep it as clean as I possibly can but every now and then I like to leave a snack in there for when I'm unable to get away from my computer. 

The_Chieftain:   We've done rather well at keeping leaks from this studio under wraps, despite the fact that we've been playing it around the offices for a while now. (Word of warning, multi-player takes a while out of your workday!)   Even at that, more leaked out of this project than others I can think of, and I've been highly impressed as to how ironclad the security has been on those. Especially given how long we've been working on them. I'll wager most of the office doesn't actually know about them.

MeatheadMilitia:   Also note, though Stalingrad and Kharkov were voted high on other regions, in the interest of not removing the maps completely from the game, they will be getting reworked while leaving them in rotation.    Here is the second point from the article:
  Decreasing the chances of seeing Kharkov to match the probability of Stalingrad while we rework them. Once they have been improved, they will return to normal rotation frequency 

MeatheadMilitia: The results of this poll are a combination of all polls, globally.    What you may see as our 1,2,3 here in NA were not the case in EU, RU, Asia, and SEA.    Our North America primary goal was to make sure no maps were removed,and have them get reworked while staying in rotation.    I hope that clears up some confusion  

MeatheadMilitia:   Stalingrad has been reduced in appearance and it will be reworked as well.

MeatheadMilitia:   I like hybrid maps too! I'll pass your feedback along  

MeatheadMilitia:   I am working on a document to help provide guidance for what I'm looking for in the guide department and ways to get featured on our Facebook and YouTube pages as well as portal articles.    Be on the lookout

dance210: Eighteen teams entered the WGLNA Silver League for the Winter 2016 season. After a grueling 8 week regular season, the top eight teams made it to the playoffs. Now, only four teams remain. The top two teams tonight will earn an automatic berth in the WGLNA Gold League next season! The losing teams will need to fight it out on Wednesday to determine who faces o7 Gaming in the relegation match and a chance to make it to the Gold League    Envy vs. Tomato Stealers  In the Quarterfinals, Envy faced off against Tactical Yolo. After some close matches on Mines, Envy pulled off a 5 - 3 victory over Tactical Yolo with some exception plays on Steppes. Also playing on Steppes, Tomato Stealers picked up some early wins against Ze Foxey Baddies. When the map changed to Murovanka, Ze Foxey wasn't able to overcome their deficit and Tomato Stealers walked away with a 5 - 1 victory. Tonight, Envy and Tomato Stealers face off for the last time. Only one team will move on to the Finals. Which team will it be? Tune in to twitch.tv/inchon2 as Inchon brings you all the action, starting at 6:30 pm PT!!  Get Flanked vs. Spaghetti Slappers  Going in to the Quarterfinals, Danger Close was the team to beat. With some exceptionally close matches on Cliff and Sand River, Danger Close and Spaghetti Slappers were all tied up and headed to Ruinberg. With a final score of 5 - 4, Spaghetti Slappers showed why you should never give up, as they defeated the 2nd seed team. Get Flanked and Pathetic Gaming demonstrated what makes a great team great - strategy, determination and the ability to go the distance. Playing on Ghost Town and Steppes, the matches went back and forth until Get Flanked pulled out the 5 - 3 win. The season is almost over and tonight should be an epic match-up between two veteran teams. One team will finally realize their goal of joining the Gold League! The other will have one last chance to make the relegations. Who will succeed? Find out as the Gold League team Googlybobbers team captain Vyraall and Ertai bring you all the action on twitch.tv/ertai22 at 6:30 pm PT!

The_Chieftain:   I wandered over to Pigeon_of_War on Friday, turns out he's doing a sort of 'sanity check' for the Production department, he's trying to grind his way to the 4202 to see just how easy the requirements are 'in the real world', statistics be darned. I observed to him that because I am serving my country, I would be unable to meet the requirements (I'm just back from a weekend with the Army). A veteran himself, he was a little sympathetic, but I don't know if it was enough to occasion a change in policy. I wouldn't mind a 'six out of seven' programming requirement.  

The_Chieftain:   I'm giving serious consideration to filming a Mk5/1 next month.  

dance210: One team would be randomly chosen to choose attack or defense. If you didn't see it, then it's possible the other team got the selection notification   Also, it seems as though I may have screwed up the tiebreaker, which could be why the battle never popped even if they chose a side.

dance210:   Monday is Mines Encounter. Tuesday is Abbey - I've fixed it on the tournament page. I changed the pictures, but not the words....I failed

The_Chieftain: What's so funny about bagpipes playing "Scotland the Brave?"

dance210:   If you run into a team, then either a) have a legit tie or b) agree to go to a tie. Testing the tiebreak system isn't really that big of a deal - I was more interested in how easy/hard it was to set up separate playoffs.   And with this being on the test server, we really can't stop the RU teams from signing up

The_Chieftain: No, there are no discussions in the office about Chieftain being a CW reward tank. (Except mockingly so, just debating how much rage would result).   The Cromwell B is, I think, the only example we have in the game of a premium vehicle being as good as its researchable counterpart. I agree it doesn't break the game, as it's no worse than having an additional researchable one on the battlefield, but I also suspect it may depend a little bit on the tiering. A premium in-game M26 equal to researchable (Thick turret, 105mm, etc) would likely make other Tier VIII premiums redundant and become the go-to tank for many people, putting quite a few in the MM queue.

The_Chieftain:   Note that what happened to you was also happening to him. The system only records 'damage done to greens' without any care over 'who shot whom first' or anything of the sort.   Yeah, it sucks for that one game. Until he has done enough damage to turn himself blue, you can't do anything about it. But once the game is over, it's over, and the system remebers the TKer.

The_Chieftain: Hmm. I feel like a number of posts have been deleted, I can't find them now. Oh well.

Pigeon_of_War: Tankers!   The stream is still ongoing! Hop in and help support a good cause! Donate to it if you can! http://www.twitch.tv...ngforthetroops 

dance210:   Lol I don't even know where the thermostat IS. I do know that when they moved my desk, they moved me directly under the A/C vent....

MeatheadMilitia:   Whoops sorry, i thought I put that in there, 1- entry per person.    Rules have been updated     Thanks for pointing that out. 

MeatheadMilitia:   The decision to change the rules is on me. I wanted to give everyone who wanted a Type 59 a chance to win one.    I hope you can still find it in your tanking heart to participate in the contest still 

Captain_Judo: Compared to the other titles, it's only our third year doing this.. we're still working on it 

dance210:   Hi!   Every player signed a handbook at the beginning of the season (or whenever they were added on the roster). Towards the end of the handbook is a list of tanks that you can choose from. If you can't find it, feel free to PM me (or ask anyone else on your team) and I'll try to help

Yoott: This is going to be a great event, one you wont want to miss  

dance210: I'm definitely not Trevzor, but I'm still excited for Team Battles this week!! We are back this week running more ranked team battles on the East Server!!   We've spent this last week in a massive training program, and we are ready for battle!!     If you think you have what it takes, grab your team and join us at 1700 PT / 2000 ET for fun and games!! And for those special few who are able to take us down, you'll also receive some sweet prizes!!   What prizes will you get? Well, since Trevz left without leaving me his roadmap, I vote for mad goaldz! A team can win 300 gold for a win, 150 gold for a loss!!   Sorry, if you manage to figure out how to draw on Attack/Defense, you won't earn any gold (but I hear Yoott does a mean golf clap!).   See y'all out there! <3

dance210: Probably. I keep saying I'm going to buy those fingerless gloves, so maybe I'll be warm :-D  

dance210: I'm pretty sure it's colder here than in Canada! (Ok, maybe not...)

The_Chieftain: Congratulations on discomforting the thread just before I get into the car for five hours. I'll see about tidying things up later.

dance210:   It is FREEZING in the office
