CaptBellamy, on Dec 06 2012 - 04:41, said: so with the insult and provocation portion it seems the ingame
reporting is the one you want. Does submitting replays
(especially when it involves antisemitic, neo-nazi crap or gender
orientation slurs in chat during a game) clog up the system or are
those welcome to be submitted?

kufo, on Dec 04 2012 - 23:47, said: Las batallas del fin de semana estuvieron muy divertidas
y didácticas, lo cual de a poco nos hará subir nuestro
nivel en este formato. Eso si que tengo unas sugerencias:
- Por favor sólo hagan las batallas en modo estándar, pues si el fin es incentivar el formato competitivo este sólo se juega en modo estándar y no encuentro.
-Pueden poner a lo menos un cupo más para los integrantes del equipo, esto para tener reservas en caso de inasistencias.
- Consideren dar de todas formas el oro si hay empate en los primeros lugares, dividiéndolo entre los equipos empatados en el peor de los casos, ya que las cantidades no son tan significativas para crear una colusión en los primeros lugares.
Saludos, sigan con el buen trabajo que están haciendo.

Captain_Judo: Me alegra oír que te divertistes.
Muchos jugadores tambien nos han dicho que el modo estandar es mejor por la misma razón. Estoy de acuerdo. Pero, hay una gran probabilidad que el formato competitivo se convierta a "encuentro".
Para mientras, vamos a dejar lo demas como esta y revaluar si hay una necesidad de añadir suplentes y dividir el oro para equipos empatados.

I do have 2 questions though. Could registration open 1 day earlier in the future? I am a European stuck on the NA server, but love this weekend format of tournaments, which gives me a chance to play together with my clan. But arranging things is hard, cause we now have only 1 day left for registration, as time zone differences are keeping us from being online at the same moments.
And I saw that you put the time for the start of the tournament 2 hours later than last week. Are there plans to change this back again? For my clan it is easier to battle at the times of last week (6PM EST), as we have quite some European based members who now need to get up in the middle of the night for this week.

know you guys aren't that silly. But having multiple entries gives
then a higher chance to get into the finals. I know it would nice
hard to track if their entries were spread out, but if you were to
only consider their first entry it would solve that problem.

dance210: Jeez, relax. No one is trying to put words in your mouth, but when
you are in the Team Kill/Damage thread, you know, where we discuss
team damage, the logical conclusion is you are talking about
reporting for team damage. Rake was responding to your initial post
which talked about friendly fire, your clanmate being reported and
subsequently banned. Maybe your initial post had multiple ideas,
who knows. Please remember, what may be perfectly clear and logical
to you may be confusing to someone else.
So, are we all happy now? Rake is right, you can't report someone for TKing and get them banned. You are right, you can report for other offenses and get them banned.

CatStalker: I've been on the receiving end of that before.
I was in my t-50, hiding in a bush capping a point towards the end of a match. I was alone on the flag, so I had built up about 65 cap points by myself.
A teammate in a T32 came rolling along and decided to use me as a shield once enemies had been spotted.
I worked great as a shield and died before I was ever spotted (6th sense never lit up). We lost all the cap points when I died and my team continued on to lose the round

Quote Reporting Friendly Fire or Team Kills.
The auto Friendly Fire and TK system has been thoroughly tested and tweaked over the last 16 months since its introduction. It works and works well, taking into consideration a multitude of scenarios.
As such, no reports of friendly fire are required, nor are they accepted. All tickets sent to support reporting team killers will be replied to stating this fact with the player sent to this post for more information.
Similarly all disputes on FF/TK sanctions will also not be accepted.
As most of you are aware, there has been a complaints feature in game which contains an option for reporting TKers. Thank you for using this feature in the past, it has helped us perfect the auto system currently in place. However as mentioned above, reports on Friendly Fire and Team Killing are no longer required or handled manually. So reports made for team-killing in game, will no longer be processed or required. It is planned to have this option removed from the in game reporting system in a future update.
Reporting Friendly Fire, or disputing sanctions for Friendly Fire within the forums are both against the forum rules.
Link on message: #3179680

dance210: Actually, Rake is correct. Reporting for team damage/kill doesn't
do anything; you can however report for other offenses (e.g. unfair
play). I refer you to page 1 of this thread located here. This is taken directly from page

favorites (however many that may be) from all the pages, and the
