GeneralDirection: Three people so far dislike fun.
In all seriousness though, if you do vote no, please let us know why. There's always a possibility we're not thinking of something that you are, so it's helpful to get perspective from every angle.

"Your achievement calculations (only necessary for the hard core category)"
dance210: Right, because you need to calculate your achievement points, based
on what you damaged/what medals you earned. I suppose keeping the
achievement calculations separate from the XP calculations makes it
easier for WG to see the scores somehow, but that's just a wild
guess.

Scout1, on Jan 26 2013 - 02:19, said: So is the winner determined by most exp or most MVP points? What
the *** is "totaling your score"? Surely you don't mean to add MVP
points on top of exp..
Link on message: #3580873

dance210: Totaling your score is just that: take your base XP and add to it
the number of MVP points you received, for hardcore submissions
only.
Winner for casual is determined by base XP only as MVP points do not count.

dance210: In order to destroy a tank, you had to have damaged it. So, by
counting damaged tanks, you have already counted the destroyed
tanks. Hope that helps make sense of why they don't need to be
counted again

Based on the feedback in this thread, it looked like the original rule set was quite unpopular. So I'm trying to cater to everyone's feedback. However, I'm a stickler for fair competition. If it's best that we keep the original rule-set, this is fine by me. But I need to read everyone's feedback!

ALL clans big or small should be able to participate thats why the map wipe was needed... Big clans on multiple landings...if they have 6 stacks they can use 6 stacks.... cant really fault them for having active playerbases.....
Should have been more Lz's ... so that this was less possible.. but that was not available.... so its a deadhorse
Can some clans do really well in this and own more then was probobly intended ... sure..... at the same time can some clans that are expected to do this also get an unlucky derp, crash out, freeze up.... causing it not to work.... sure....but at this point they did not make the rules.. they are playing within them...good or bad....

lord_farquad: Just for clarification, the point of Skirmishes is not as much to
be a competitive outlet, but an event which we can test various
formats and try to create fun events. We apologize if an event we
create is not what you want, but obviously we learn from that. It
may seem crystal clear from your end, but on paper there are some
combinations that don't make sense, yet are extremely fun... there
are others that obviously aren't, but we often have to test them in
order to find out.
So we're sorry if you don't like a particular event. We do try to make them enjoyable, unfortunately that means experimenting, otherwise they'd all end up being the exact same thing.
