Captain_Judo:
Hey Holakc  
We will allow a reshuffling of rosters at the end of the first qualifying round. This will include some provisions which we will make clear before the close of registration. We think it's fair as it's equally offered to all teams.

Captain_Judo: Thanks for the feedback everyone.  
We really want to encourage participation. So we've analyzed the prizing further and would like to offer the following!1st Place Team - 1,000 gold
2nd Place Team - 750 gold
3rd Place Team - 500 gold
50 gold awarded for every round you win Also, please note that tied teams will split the prize pool for 1st - 3rd place.

Yoott: It is really funny that everything the OP is saying happens.. is exactly what has happened here in this thread.......
go figure right
@ Dockmaster ... sucks to hear that happened

Yoott: "Where one goes, we all will follow."
Tankers!
Are you looking for a fun group of players to platoon with, grind with and compete with?  The Lemming Mafia is looking for new blood, and we don't discriminate based on how long you've been playing, what you have in your garage or what the various metrics say about you.  [_LMF_] is a  clan focused on having fun and improving together.  We strive to keep things loose and free of drama.  We take part in Clan Wars, weekly skirmishes and other tournaments whenever possible.
If you're interested, we'd love to have you come by, meet some of the team and hang out with us.  You can spend some time in our Teamspeak channel and platoon with some of our members to see if our group is a good fit for you. Contact Icarus_LMF , Yoott, or Das_Schlippo for our TS server info.
A few bullet points about our clan:•We are a semi-casual clan
•21+ years old
•We accept all levels of tanks and all types.
•We will be doing basic game trainings each week for any member that is interested
•We participate in Clan Wars, Skirmishes and other tournaments whenever possible
•You MUST have a mic/headset and be able to use voice coms.
•We use Teamspeak 3
Feel free to contact me on the forum with any additional questions you might have.

Captain_Judo: There's no cap on the number of teams allowed to participate. If your team is "pending approval" then you're good to go!

Captain_Judo: Only standard can be played on this map, Mines.

Yoott: well.. every game out has people that do this stuff..... this one is no different..
Good luck in your search for a game where 10 year olds (or ones with 10 yr old mentalities) dont have access to the keyboard
If you dont end up leaving send a pm if you have questions on things.. ill see what I can do to help.

dance210: Well, you could try searching for it manually... If you click on the Caption Contest link at the top of this page, it will bring you to all the other threads. There would be one titled Caption Contest #X, where X is the current weeks contest.

Yoott: I dunno but im not sitting in front of one long enough to find out :-)

Yoott: perfect analysis....
I play to win and have a definite spike side when doing CW, and Tourneys but at the same point I do this for the fun so I don't check stats before recruiting or platooning with someone or care if I get a terrible MM, just play the game so there I'm more like a Timmy side.
and I also enjoy long walks in the moonli...err ok wait that's a different thread sorry :-)

CatStalker: Thanks for the posts, it's a very interesting read. Thinking about my playstyle, I feel that I'd land with about a 20-60-20 split.

Yoott: My guess is and MR can correct me here if its not right but I believe there will be a rotation per say going on where the Tcs are varied week to week to make sure all get to play and participate. Juniors this week is a good idea as almost everyone has the tier 3's from the CW map event still and the big tourneys last week were all tier 3.

krazyone: My current favorite is the AMX-50 Foch (155) and probably my tank i like to play the most as a premium would be the JT8.8 and is still the tank i have the best battle in to this point.

Agrona: I like that you use the MtG R&D player archetypes. As they can apply to many gaming arenas, this is pretty cool. Nice read!

Captain_Judo: In the absence of clan wars, we want to offer clans a practice opportunity for this upcoming weekend!

Mugsy_: As I said above, I have a large volume of PMs and requests which I am processing. I appreciate your urgency, but also your patience and understanding.

Mugsy_:

Mugsy_:
Currently you either need to hold land or have 30+ members.
http://forum.worldof...ces-guidelines/

Mugsy_:
In addition to reading the suggestion section, I also welcome anyone to write me detailed breakdowns of their ideas and suggestions. The CoAF is just a start. It is just one group and one way of discussing things with a sample population. When I started here in July, there were 30 members. Now there are over 200. It is a very diverse group of people who represent their own interests and causes.

Mugsy_:
During the fallout from the failures of the initial launch of Rise of the Americas, allowances were made for some of the reckless, emotional raging being expressed by the entire community. The resulting ugliness has to be forgiven. People were beyond their tolerances of frustration and anger. Our mistakes created a hostile environment where otherwise good people were turned into ravenous haters. I know who you are referring to and I do sincerely apologize for their actions and venom. That being said, it does seems within the Council there is developing a core of intelligent, level-headed, positive personalities who offer the best suggestions and the most constructive feedback. People, who in addition to caring about their own clan's status and progress, want to see the community and game improve and become more enjoyable.

I see a lot of Forge guys interested in this ongoing thread, so I will say that I have a lot of respect for both Barroom and Nagatron and consider them very credible sources. Barroom is grouchy, but he understands Clan Wars better than most people in our company and Nagatron is a gifted communicator who can both understand the pros and cons of any issue and articulate the subtleties of complex correlations so that someone who is totally uninformed can leave understanding it fairly well. But I also understand that they, essentially, have a class view and class interests within the tiny society that is our community. Yet, their input is an important ingredient to our clan gumbo.

What I am taking away from this thread is that you guys feel like Wargaming has too narrow a reach into the community at large. If you feel like the only input, for Clan Wars or any other subject, is only seen if drawn from the CoAF then we have a greater problem. So my suggestion is twofold, let's start utilizing the Ultimate Conquest section of the forum more and if you are in a clan, make sure it has a CoAF rep, and utilize them. Make them be your spokesperson, they are representatives of your clan. If you want an idea shared, poll created, attention brought to an issue, assign your rep with the duty of making it happen. To help get us back to a space where folks are feeling heard, because I think there was a window of time were we were doing pretty well on that goal.

Thanks for expressing your points and frustrations. I actually do appreciate complaints and groans because it helps me map out my goals. More than anything, I want the quality of life in our community to be very high for everyone. I want everyone to feel heard and supported. I am gonna close this thread up, because I fully understand where you are each coming from and feel this thread has accomplished its intent, but I encourage everyone to continue discussing, constructively, what we can do to mend fences, build a better community, and solve problems and points of frustration - I look forward to reading them.

(if you write "Mugsy" somewhere in it I can locate them more easily)

Thanks!
