For how long, exactly, has the idea of preventing troll platoons
been posted and reposted in the Suggestions forum? It's not a
ground-breaking idea.
Edit: http://forum.worldof...ll#entry4054343 is the earliest one I found in the Suggestion forum, although I'd bet good money there are ones that are much, much older.

The_Chieftain: The tank re-painting project is interesting. They showed a vehicle
which was repainted last year, after a single year, the paint was
badly flaking off. As a result, the new paint they are using is
'liquid plastic', designed to be much tougher than regular paint.

Platoon System Updated We know how much you love to party in
Platoons, so we've revamped our system to make it even more
rewarding. Our new design allows players to create Platoons based
on tiers, so that members will never be ill-equipped for battle.
Better Matchmaking! Once the Platoon Leader choses a vehicle,
other members will only be able to select tanks from their garage
that are compatible with the leader's selection. Vehicles that are
either too low of a tier, or too high, will not be accessible.
Generally, you will want to select the highest tier vehicle that is
compatible to maximize your efforts in battle. If you are unable to
select any vehicles in your Garage, you will either need to
purchase a compatible tier vehicle, or communicate with your
Platoon Leader to change their selection.
What this does is prevent fail toons from ruining games / the
MM. Wot PC has been out years longer then wot 360 yet they are
still unable to listen to the community about fail platoons. WOT
360 seems to be headed into the right path as they are actively
listening to the suggestions of their growing community. So
in turn the pc devs should take a hint from wot 360 that this
mechanism that shouldn't be hard to make at all would solve the
problem with trolls that fail toon on purpose.

good thing for WoT PC players! Any changes that the Xbox
team try out on the 360 version are being closely watched and
discussed by our dev teams as well. We are continually
thinking on how to improve the overall gaming experience and even
though we believe that improvements to the platoon system could
help alleviate some current issues, only concrete data and feedback
will allow our developers to refine these features to a point where
they may be ready for other products. Please know that the
developers from each of our products are in constant communication
with each other and are working hard to deliver results. We
appreciate the feedback and are excited about the future of World
of Tanks!

denotes them as pre-existing, which so far as I know, is true.The_Chieftain: With respect, that wasn't what he said. "the actual core
legal document (The Constitution) in fact does not make
the same declaration and instead says that rights are in fact
granted and protected by the state." Legally acknowledged
pre-existing rights are not granted by the State per se. They
generally are common-law rights which are enumerated by the courts
(Granted, a State agent, but the only ones in a position to
identify a right) as rights. If they are inalienable or not,
I'm not going to go as far as to say. That they exist is good
enough. The US, and for that matter Ireland (where I
obtained my law degree), both are a little unusual, perhaps,
in that they are Constitutional jurisdictions created out of the
already extant Constitution-free UK legal system: American
legal history and precedent does not start in 1789, nor Irish legal
history in 1937, though of course the Constitution does overrule
anything in place before then -if- the Constitution happens to bear
upon it. I fear that Zinegata is confusing me with
someone who is unable to understand legal principles or is blinded
by ideology and that I'm attempting to make claims which I am
not.

things like completely ignore the Free/Slave state divide in the
Dredd Scott case simply because the lead Supreme Court justices at
the time were all from the South and were simply flat-out biased
for slavery.The_Chieftain: Even Dredd Scott was a split opinion. If all nine
2008 SCOTUS justices with an acknowledged ideological split
are in agreement in their written opinions that the 2nd is a
pre-existing right, then it's a reasonable confirmation to the
statement that 2A referred to a right which was pre-existing.
See Scalia (Majority): "We look to this because it has always been
widely understood that the Second Amendment, like the First and
Fourth Amendments, codified a pre-existing right. The
very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the
pre-existence of the right and declares only that it “shall
not be infringed.” and Stevens (Dissent) "And the Court’s
emphatic reliance on the claim “that the Second Amendment . .
. codified a pre-existing right,” ante, at 19, is of course
beside the point because the right to keep and bear arms
for service in a state militia was also a pre-existing right"

Quote Namenlos. In German means "nameless". Something that can't be named. Maybe due to our team spirit, that have strategy and trustness as our foundation to become winners. But since our start it became so much more that we can't name anymore. The only thing you need to know it's this: we are coming. Be prepared.
Quote Of the three SIMP teams in Bronze League, Simplistic has the best record and our goal is to move up to the Silver League for next season. For practice we play in as many tournaments as possible. For example, we are coming off wins in Skirmishes 23 and 24 and were the champions of the Raseiniai Challenge. Besides the three Bronze League SIMP teams (Simplistic, Simp Cocktail, and SIMPlite), SIMP has one Silver League team, Wild Simpie, and three Gold League teams, River of Blood, Simple Tankers and S.I.M.P. Half the team is new to the team for this season and the new guys are playing well. I wish MattNight and Namenlos good luck -- because with the strats Bryant comes up for us, they're going to need it.

The whole thing with two divisions, and then the playoffs having 12
teams from EACH division, how exactly will it shake out in the
end??? I have had people from my team asking me all the time about
this, but yet I cannot give them an answer because nobody from WG
is willing to answer this question.dance210:

The_Chieftain: Frankly, I'm inclined to think that the names were actually in some
level of use. I don't even know what 'cooker' is in German, so
can't exactly look it up myself. Perhaps the lads over on the EU
side of the house in the German forum have some links to something
closer to period (late 40s would be fine). (Googling "Tommy
Cooker", as a result, is unlikely to come to anything even remotely
definitive). But the point is, I think, fairly made. We have plenty
enough examples of things which have achieved legitimacy simply
because they are often repeated, even only in recent years. It is
worth considering the possibility that this, too, is a bit of
post-facto restrospective.

..The_Chieftain: I am indeed unsure. Hence I asked the poster if he was sure. I did
not tell him he was wrong because his position did not match with
what I had been led to believe. He made a fair observation
that there seems to be a lack of period documentation to support
the naming. I have up until now taken it for granted that the
naming was as reputation suggests, but now he brings it up, he's
got a point. I don't recall anything from the time which uses the
names either. As a result, I am certainly willing to change my
position on it to being an apparent myth absent proof to the
contrary.

bottom 50% at the end of the group stage, then they move on to the

Thanks again!! Jester dance210: Hi Jester! Each round of the group stage has a set
number of battles. For the group stage, we cap it at 8 teams, so a
maximum of 7 battles can be played. Battles are 12 minutes apart,
so a normal battle schedule would look like this (all times are
Pacific): 19:00 19:12 19:24 19:36 19:48 20:00 20:12 Again,
this is the battle schedule for Mon, Tues, and Wed group stage.
Correct, the bracket playoffs take place Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday. Edit: For the playoffs, the maximum number of battles
is 10, which is ~2 hours. Hope this makes sense!

registration for any teams that only wish to play in the Fri - Sun
playoffs. All teams that are Pending Approval when that
registration closes will be accepted for the playoff portion of the
Skirmish. Anyone who signed up for the Alpha registration

the past by several entirely competent commentators. The big
problem with Cooper is that he doesn't distinguish between facts,
his observations, his opinions, and information he has no way of
verifying, plus he apparently was writing his memoirs purely by
memory. Not disrespecting the man or his service, but he's no
historian. You would garner more respect by referencing more
than one source, and preferably one which is not academically
questionable.
