Hypnotik: Just a reminder to everyone that this tournament begins tonight. I'm sure your clan officers would appreciate it if you show up to play tonight.   For those who want to follow the action (whether your clan is participating in the tournament or not), I'll be updating this post as the battle results come in.   Good luck to everyone!

dance210:   Hi Veldek! Welcome to Skirmishes...I hope you have fun   Some answers to your questions: 1. For the playoffs, it is the first to 3 wins out of a maximum of 10 battles. So, you can play anywhere from 3 to 10 battles per round. Just as a reminder, there are actually two rounds on Sunday (at 4 pm PDT and 7 pm PDT).   2. You will want to go to the tournament page (http://worldoftanks.com/uc/tournaments/922-Skirmish_30/) and find your team/group. There are 20 playoff brackets for the Bravo Playoffs...you can unhide each schedule until you find your team. It should show you your next opponent.   If you have any problems finding your team, let me know and I can help you out :)   3. Most teams use some outside voice program, like TeamSpeak or Raidcall, to talk to each other. If you have one person who will be calling the battle (telling others what the plan is), I would suggest having that person select which players to play or having the team captain do it. Otherwise, people can select ready and select themselves to play in each battle. Just make sure someone ensures the team follows the tournament rules.   Hope these answers help!

dance210:   Because the teams you could have faced had a draw tonight, meaning neither team moves on. I expect that you will have a bye round tomorrow evening.

The_Chieftain: Right. Russian type dudes. I need the short version of what Russia thinks of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia (Yes, I know Ossetia), Turkey, Iran, and policies for the region in general.

dance210:   Yep, because your team scored so high on the rankings, you have a bye round for tonight. Y'all don't play until tomorrow :)

pizzastorm:   Sorry! We wanted to award more but we had to cut it off!

Pigeon_of_War:   The issue here is that most MacBook Air's do not have a powerful enough GPU to run the game. I have personally tested the game on a 2012 MacBook Air and can attest they are just not powerful enough.

SchnellerDamon: Estoy aquí para pedir disculpas por cualquier molestia que les cause lo del lag, ping y/o perdidas de paquetes. Por favor tengan paciencia que no les estamos mintiendo cuando les decimos que estamos trabajando sobre una solución. Cualquier tipo de solución que tengamos tiene que 1) funcionar bien la primera vez sino puede empeorar las cosas o no servir y aún va haber más molestias porque no lo hicimos como se debe de hacer.  2) Las logísticas que requiere cualquier tipo de solución a nivel Latinoamericano toma tiempo, y no digo un par de días sino puede tomar varios meses dependiendo de la solución.

HBFT:   Due to current limitations of the mission system and its interaction with discounts in overlapping events, the displays on the current discount UI is a bit confusing.  (Currently the discounts on the American SPG line are split between the Guadalcanal Landing event and the On Track to the T92 event)  We have received confirmation that the discounts for the On Track to the T92 event will extend to the 18th as noted on the main web portal. (The discounts will undergo renewal on the 11th)
