The_Chieftain: M103 and follow ons were not being produced under war exigencies. They could afford to take their time about things.

The_Chieftain: One of the Afghan FTs is currently in Fort Benning.   I wouldn't read anything into the depressed gun tube. There was no elevation gear in the tanks.

Yoott: Hey guys look lets get this back on track here   There was some intended things designed to make this tournament more complicated then your standard show up here, shoot there, collect gold here style tournament. There were things from this end that were on purpose to cause hardships and obstacles. There is also a reason a prize was given out for 2 nights of play to just the single teams and then a second prize for playing through week 2.   Now it went off far from perfect, most concerning team pairings with teams that no showed. TBH and I will post it here , our avg in all tournaments no shows are around 5 % ... so that was doubled and we kicked 10% .... This turned out to be too low since a lot more teams no showed. This will be rectified in future events with a much much longer qualifier round period which will allow for more of those teams to root themselves out and be removed. I apologize for this and it was noted right away and we even pmed out to a lot of captains to gauge their wanting to continue to participate.   Adjustments were made to the rules making it 4 x 4 that helped somewhat but without completely starting over there really wasn't anyway to reseed all of the teams , plus that would have been unfair to the teams that did connect and start to train and figure it all out..    However all of the above being said I am pretty sure if you look back some of the instant negativity and anger was unjustified. Some of you were flat out rude to the teams you were paired with calling them names, in game, in forums, in their teamspeaks, I have seen the pics and  some of you have had nice vacations for your actions. Honestly it's a bit ridiculous and I wouldn't show up to play with you either if you did that to me so some of the teams that answered me back that you guys were so worried about said they would love to come back but wont play with some of your teams because of your bad attitudes towards them so some/not all of the no shows were by your own causing. I have 3 confirmed that were no showing due to negativity directed at them.    I mean hell one of the teams asked me flat out to please allow a roster change just so they made sure more then one player would be there to help their partner team out since the person being replaced was a no show and they didn't want to not show up even though they were not as good and cost their partners an extra player. That same team was flat out directly badmouthed by their partners... nice right. I was glad to see that team still showed tonight to do the right thing and play with the partners that badmouthed them.     Now here is the deal   - You had to deal with teams no showing, I will take full responsibility for that (up to the point of the ones caused by your negativity.) Teams size swapped to 4 v 4 to help alleviate as much as possible - You had to deal with pairing up with an unfamiliar team (by design) - You had to find a way to communicate with that team even if they did not speak the same language (by design)  - You were awarded a gold prize already if you did well enough week 1 to be in the top 50% (by design as the teams would be basically folded in half) - Both halves would have to work together to earn a second prize at the end of week two (by design) - It was intentionally not shared about the pairings so that teams would not complain about rigging of teams that could field multiple teams throwing matches to get a chance to partner up together (by design)

That same team was flat out directly badmouthed by their partners... nice right. I was glad to see that team still showed tonight to do the right thing and play with the partners that badmouthed them.     Now here is the deal   - You had to deal with teams no showing, I will take full responsibility for that (up to the point of the ones caused by your negativity.) Teams size swapped to 4 v 4 to help alleviate as much as possible - You had to deal with pairing up with an unfamiliar team (by design) - You had to find a way to communicate with that team even if they did not speak the same language (by design)  - You were awarded a gold prize already if you did well enough week 1 to be in the top 50% (by design as the teams would be basically folded in half) - Both halves would have to work together to earn a second prize at the end of week two (by design) - It was intentionally not shared about the pairings so that teams would not complain about rigging of teams that could field multiple teams throwing matches to get a chance to partner up together (by design)              

Hypnotik: Q,  

Hypnotik: May want to check and see who the dictator el presidente of WGA-A really is. He is a fair and glorious man, and didn't depose his predecessor in a coup, he merely convinced him that there were better options if he didn't try to keep the crown.  

Quemapueblos: lol   Ah remember that day when Damien waged rddter apocalypse on CRD... those were dark times

Yoott:     So its bad because you had to learn to communicate in other ways?

The_Chieftain: From the fat lady department.   http://forum.worldof...ilarity-ensued/

The_Chieftain: Hey, he got me fair and square. Though I must admit to having been taken by surprise.

Hypnotik: "Additional information about the tournament (including the exact format and prizes) will be published at a later date."  

Hypnotik: Not at all, there are going to be 6 different ways to earn a spot. If you choose not to participate in World on Fire, you still have a chance later on.  

Hypnotik: The tournament is in the summer. The ways to qualify begin in the spring. It's kind of similar to sports - the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in the 2012-2013 season, but they're the 2013 Stanley Cup Champions (and soon to be 2014 too).

The_Chieftain:   That works too.

Quemapueblos: It will come silently in the night. No language skills required.    

Major_Rampage: Dibs on Q's stuff!

Yoott: Fail Post 0/10 Try Harder Noob
