The_Chieftain:   Right. Reply to your messages. We can't help otherwise

The_Chieftain: There is a hard copy card game, WoT Rush. Find it in tabletop gaming stores. Met up with some players down the pub, one brought a copy. Was actually quite good, though it did suffer from a rather bad case of Runglish translation.   i also rather liked Generals, and spent a lot of time on it. Was particularly good on my commute on the train. If I were to hazard a guess, the failure is due to an unfortunate matchmaking system, where you have to select only one deck, and hope that a near match shows up. Led to a lot of waiting around. Had they enabled a sort of "I'll play with any of these selected decks", I think that would have done wonders.   As to hybrid wars, I think the stream I did on my channel last week still is up in the "past broadcasts" section. I did a half hour of it just to see what it's about. Twitch.tv/the_chieftain

Saffr0n:   This thread is about bugs and issues with Update 9.16. TK/TD/FF penalties are handled by an automated system that was introduced many patches ago. As an automated penalty system it doesn't take into account the reason why you did team damage. It only determines whether you did team damage or not. I'm sorry, mate, this isn't the place to file an appeal. 

GhostPrime: These are really cool! Thanks for sharing!

GhostPrime: Hello Tankers!   I have added a table to the OP in an effort to help clarify What missions are worth what amount of points. If you still have questions, please ask them here, and I'll get you an answer. 

JayStark02: Thread closed.

JayStark02: Alright folks, closing thread due to non-constructive arguing and insults.

GhostPrime: This topic is being closed due to excessive arguing. 

Saffr0n:  

Saffr0n:   If you are running mods, I would scrub them from the World of Tanks directory first and foremost. I can't verify that you're launching in Safe Mode so I'll trust that you'll take the time to scrub the files. Remember, deleting them isn't the same thing as removing them from the directory.    It sounds like you have a corrupted game file; it could be the map package (Mines), it could be the E 25 or Marder packages. In any case, it doesn't seem like the client is running a verification. Uninstall and reinstall the game client and redownload the game files. 

The_Chieftain: Well, get your us bound friends to ask about the chili then

dance210: All active tournaments can be found by searching the Tournaments Home Page. Interested in what we having coming up? Check out the eSports calendar!  A player has two ways to register for the Platournaments! When you create the team, make sure that you are using the correct registration!Register as a Team! Registration works the same as normal. Team captain makes a team and recruits players to join. A complete team has 3 - 4 players. Captains do not need to submit their team; all teams with the minimum number of players will be accepted. The team is now ready to fight once the tournament starts! Register as a Solo player or as part of a Party! A party is a group of players that does not meet the minimum team size requirements. Create a team. Teams do not need to be confirmed; all players will be accepted for the Solo/Party Registration. Once registration has closed, the player will be combined with other solo player(s) and/or a party to form a complete team After registration has closed, players are encouraged to check back to find their new team!  So how do you register as a solo player? It's easy! When you create a team, there will be Registration Option with a drop down menu. Simply switch from Register Team to Register Solo and you are ready to go!

GhostPrime:   You are getting errors which point to registry issues, driver issues, or Hard disk issues. It's causing Win 10 to blue screen. Did you use driver Sweeper (Or perform a clean install) of your video drivers? Have you tried using Ccleaner, and re-installing the game?    Something to note as well is that commonly Lenovo uses proprietary video drivers. Installing retail drivers may cause issues, and make the problem worse. You would need to download the drivers directly from Lenovo. They should have a section of their site to download video drivers.     

GhostPrime: Hey Tankers,   An update on the shipping out the shirts: They have been delayed due to the hurricane in Florida. Our partner plans on getting the shirts out by the end of the week. Thank you for your patience everyone. 

dance210:   Not exactly, no, although winning and losing in tournaments does make up part of it. It's based on a rating system similar to that used by CS:GO.

dance210:   Yes, there is a rating system for the tournament.    Directly from each tournament page:

  TEAM TOURNAMENT RATING SYSTEM Attention tankers! We are introducing a tournament rating system, to assign teams to specific groups! This rating system will allow teams to face others at or around their rating level. Please see below for some important information.   Each player has a rating based solely on tournament battles. The rating does not include random battles, team battles, clan wars or strongholds. The system tracks tournament participation from March 2016 to the present. Any tournaments before March 2016 are not counted. The team rating is the average rating from members of the team. Teams in the Premium group will usually face other very experienced teams. The gold prizes for the Premium group are usually higher than the Standard or New Team groups. A new team is a team with players who have never participated in a tournament or has only participated in a few tournaments. A new team will only face other new teams. After completing several tournament, a new team will be seeded into the Premium or Standard groups.

dance210: Your team rating is not a static number, it changes depending on how well you do in each tournament. So while you may have the same six individuals, your ratings have changed.   Congrats, you've played enough tournaments to not be a new team. You've also done well enough to now qualify for the Premium group. Good luck!

dance210:   It's published. Can you still not see the groups?

GhostPrime: Attention Tankers!There are plans to release Micropatch 9.16_2 on October 13th, 2016Maintenance will begin at 02:00 Pacific Time (09:00 UTC) and will last approximately one hour.During maintenance, the World of Tanks servers will be unavailable. Patch Notes:Fixed some technical issues Increased Signal Range for the STRV M/42-57 ALT A.2 to 710 m.

The_Chieftain:   I strongly suspect that that's the way a lot of voters will be thinking. They'll vote Hillary in just to keep Trump out, and then vote for the Republican congresscritter to make sure she can't do anything.   Another airplane flight tomorrow. Yay intercontinental flights for short visits. Two days' work, for the Japanese office. Could be worse. The last time I went to Cairns, they just wanted me there for about six hours. (I said to hell with that, stayed an extra day, and filmed the Centurion). When's your next trip, Rita?

GhostPrime:   Its Monday - Monday, so the points you earned last week will be included this week. Next week will include this Monday to next Monday. Thos points will be added on Wednesday. 

GhostPrime:  Murder TOG! Love it! 

GhostPrime:   The points that you have earned will be available Thursdays (Late Weds). If you use your points on Thursday, and get more over the weekend, they will be added the following Wednesday, and be available the next Thursday, along with the rest of that week. (Monday - Monday)

The_Chieftain:   The SdKfz 251/22 was armed from the factory with the L46 PaK 40. At least 100 were built, plus probably some field conversions from the short 75.   This is the more familiar variant.     However...     They were not fantastic. Cramped, with limited ammunition capacity. However, they were, to coin Doyle's phrase, better than pushing a PaK40 through the mud, and helped with the shortfall of actual tank-killing AFVs.    

dance210:   As long as registration is still open, you can make roster changes.   If the team has already been confirmed: As the team captain, you will need to send me a PM or email tournaments@wargamingamerica.com. From there I can Set the team back to "Forming" allowing you to make any changes that you need If you send me a link to your team, the player(s) to be removed and the player(s) to be added, I can make those changes for you.   If the team is still "Forming" you should be able to remove players, then add the new players to the team.   If registration has already closed, unfortunately it is not possible to make any roster changes.
