Yoott:   First off the Hunt the Pros accounts are down atm, they have been down for a few weeks leading into the new season they will be returning shortly.   I am not aware of any mission aside from the 250 gold one in random pub matches that are running right now, so specifically which missions are getting rigged?  

Yoott:   They are not allowed or able to platoon up to 7 - 14 since the game limit is 3. If you are referring to Team Company battles or Team battle mode or even Stronghold Skirmishes, those are the players real accounts and are you asking that we tell them they cant play the game? Anyone can play together with friends and teammates, with practice and time teams should get better.   

Yoott:   From what I can gather you discussing Cliff Dropping,   You are either talking about re spawning or bringing in reserve tanks which is not possible in our game.   Or are you talking about you are upset with the enemy team using tactics to beat you? They are not in the pro league because they are bad at tanks. It sounds like from your description you got flanked by a group of tanks and then flanked again, that is part of the game and how it is played, I can't punish players because they are good at the game.     

Yoott:   Also what does how a player plays in a random battle have anything to do with "Rigging" a tournament? They play good because they "are" good, hence they are where they are in the League system. I think you are trying way too hard to tie one to the other here.         Feel free to PM me directly with replays, screenshots of matches you are referring to and I can review them with you as well please send me any further questions or concerns you have.

dance210:   That's how it works    I would suggest sending it early enough so that if there is a delay in delivery (sometimes the interwebz is strange), we get the email before 9 am tomorrow.

dance210:   Yep. All roster changes will be done tomorrow, before battles are scheduled.

dance210:   Nope, this tourney isn't a qualifier. It's just a chance for teams to play the 7/42 format against others.

The_Chieftain:   M18 was designed to fit a very specific role in US doctrine and do it well. If the Soviets did not have such a role for it, it would not surprise me to find that they decided the vehicle sortof sucked by the standards they set for what they think the SPG should do.   it's why I am more interested in capability/engineering assessments than in combat utility assessments in most cases.

The_Chieftain:   for whatever reason, I've not taken the time to read that page in depth until now. I am particularly interested by the Russian dislike of the M4A4 when contrasted with the British love of the thing.

The_Chieftain:   off duty section. It's not so much about me, as much as trying to increase historical atmosphere/realism in games. (As opposed to accuracy, two different issues))

dance210:   I'll be at work in a couple of hours and will get the results posted for y'all then   Thanks for posting something coolcool for everyone!

dance210:   Matt had it right.   All teams will play all 3 group stages. At the end, the top 8 teams will move on to the Playoffs.

The_Chieftain: I did, actually. Not sure if I should upload the scan or not. It's behind a paywall on the e-edition.

The_Chieftain: Good find, but it seems to be an editorial justifying the printing of he article, not the article itself?

The_Chieftain:   I don't much keep track of what's happening on other fora, or even threads. Which is a bit of a shame, as I get the feeling from the snippets I've seen that I should be paying more attention to the Compendium threads, they seem quite amusing.

The_Chieftain:   Not a puppet, a regular in the thread. I asked him/her about it a couple of days ago.   Bottom line, I think that neg-repping a person's posts automatically is petty, immature, an abuse of the intent of the system,  and achieves nothing but further acrimony. Personally, I submit that if a poster is deserving of negative reputation, there will be plenty enough posts by that person which deserve a neg-rep on their own merit, thus giving an appropriate overall poster rep. If a post is a positive or useful one, it shouldn't be given a negative rep. Perhaps it should receive, dare I say, even a positive one.   As far as I know, there are no consequences for this abuse of the neg-rep system, apart from going down in my personal estimation.  That said, I've never really looked up the official rules.

The_Chieftain:   There was one on the M24 I did the video on

dance210: Friendly reminder: Rosters are due by 9 am PDT tomorrow (9/20)! Teams, if you have enough and everyone can go to Poland to compete, please make sure to Apply for the Tournament before registration closes.   To all the teams in Pending Approval: Good luck!!!

Hypnotik: Hey folks,   Here's a new/updated Permissions table that should clear up some of the confusion between ranks (I've also edited the OP to include this info).   Note: As Strongholds continues to improve and add new features, they will be added to this table in the future. Note 2: Even though the permissions for it are present on this table, we currently have no intention of activating the "Subversions" feature on the Global Map on the NA server.
