FireAnt333, on Apr 16 2013 - 01:48, said: Two questions I have thought up in the last couple minutes:

1. Do we have to include our IGN in the email if we're only submitting lyrics? (I'd do it anyway just to be sure, I was just wondering if it was required.)
2. Will negative reputation be temporarily removed for the community voting on the top entries? It would just be sad to see a good, creative entry lose 2000 gold or even the whole prize because of a few spiteful trolls.

Event Ends: 04:00 PDT (07:00 EDT) April 15, 2013
Yet here it is 2:22 PDT April 15, 2013 and the event is over ... looks like the event closed 2 hours prior to the stated time. I managed to get what I was after except for the American light line T21, was going for that at the last "minute" to take advantage of the half price crew training from the M7 to the T21. :(
Loved the event ... but stated time ending would've been nice or better communicated would have been even nicer!
Cheers!

pathrai, on Apr 15 2013 - 08:58, said: I don't think this guy ever said they improve skill, just that they improve gameplay. Of course this is complete nonsense as the wider availability of gold rounds has exactly coincided with gameplay being worse. I cannot say that prem rounds for silver is what is causing the huge number of 15-3 stomp matches but it is an amazing coincidence that these sort of matches have been getting more and more common since prem rounds became more widely available. There's certainly no doubt that the game now favours faster tanks with better guns therefore anyone with a tank that relied on armour as its strength has seen their tanks usefulness greatly reduced. A very backward step and even more upsetting if the person paid for the tank.

husband, on Apr 14 2013 - 19:13, said: It has happened before with a tournament due to server capacity strain on one occasion human error ended a weekend special one day short. However the timing and posting of dates, start times has plagued clan wars with the north america event.
It seems that they do not have a test server for stress testing or doing a dry run.
It seems that since - just speculating on this..that if things go wrong during the event - the back up plans are hard to implement to customers satisfaction since it is the weekend and everyone went to a lot of effort to re-arrange schedules, since we can not swap out team members.
It is a high profile event with prizes, and the tournaments are evolving for the better I hope.
It takes many hours to coordinate and train a team to work together, commit time to participate. I wish the compensation was more.
