Laera: Hey all!
Once again, I'm sorry that we're not able to accommodate everyone at Pizza Luce tonight. We had a set contract for around 50 people and that was blown right out of the water. While we were able to double that, we simply cannot pack more than 100 people in to that venue due to the contract (as well as the fire code).
Cowboy Jack's will serve as overflow venue but I want to be clear that Wargaming will be unable to provide food and drink there. It will simply serve as a spot for players to meet and hang out (which is the whole point of a Player Gathering). Please check in with me at Pizza Luce so I can make a note you attended and be sure you still get some awesome goodies.
I'm really sorry guys, if I had the budget I'd rent out the convention center for us. Sadly, tonight there is only one of me and 230+ of you, so please try to be patient. I understand all of your frustrations and will work to make sure this does not happen again.

Hypnotik: The bold part means that the number of days from previous stages will not carry over into this stage. If you hold the territory at the end of the stage, and you've held it for 5 days, your multiplier will be 5.

Hypnotik: Here's your cake*.

*Cake is not guaranteed, and will be based on availability. Most will be consumed in the WGA kitchen.

Hypnotik: 4 A-Teams? Getting there...

Jewel_Thief: Have you contacted Support yet?
If not, please have this be your first step.

Jewel_Thief: You can also have the clan commander send in a Support ticket requesting that you be added to the clan. (We can handle the action from our backend tools.)  
(It's a known issue, that we're still trying to have fixed... our apologies for any inconvenience.)
Happy tanking!
~JT

Hypnotik: Coming SoonTM, Comrade.

Quemapueblos: You have to give us some time! Stage 2 only ended hours ago! In all srsness we are working on it and will have a portal article detailing the winners soon™

dance210: 1. Special battles will pop for the league on Mon and Fri. It normally pops 10 min before battles begin.
2. It doesn't look like the page is up (or updated) with the game schedule and standings. That should be up later today, before the battles tonight.

GeneralDirection: Hi Galjin,
Believe me, we would love to be able to accommodate everyone. However, the venue only supports 100, so we had to limit to that. We originally planned to invite 50, but because of the response, we were able to get it expanded to 100.
We'll definitely be back to the area in the near future. We were pleasantly surprised by the response. :)

Trevzor: I think you are missing a big point here. The Foch is a tank destroyer. It is designed solely to find, engage, and kill tanks. I haven't looked at its stats in terms of alpha, reload, etc. but I can tell you this, it will ruin just about any tank's day. Yes, the Foch has come crazy front armour, but that is about all it has for armour. I do believe it has less than 2k hit points as well. That means that when it gets flanked or artied that the Foch is going to have a bad day. Honestly, 1400 point shots from my 261 are very common amongst the Foch family. Plus, a batchat getting behind it, forget about it.

Really, at the end of the day you need to have a dynamic play style that can change on a moment's notice based on the tanks you are facing. Look at the enemy team composition and determine how you can play based on that. "No arty, no big TD? May god have mercy on these poor souls." That sort of concept.

dance210: By soon, I hope you mean several hours. WG is in the Pacific time zone, so it may still be a awhile before anyone gets into the office ;)

dance210: Please be patient. The tournaments just ended over the weekend, and gold normally isn't paid out until sometime during the week. WGA needs a chance to get back to the office, then send the gold to all the winners :)

Trevzor: Every tank has weak points and every person can learn them. In my experience AT 2 is best driven in one of two ways. Mid range with the 6 pounder, and in your face with the derp. The first is the more forgiving play style as you will not need to focus on moving but shooting and staying hidden. That 6 pounder is a bullet hose that can wreck a tier 5 and anger a 6. The derp is a tough style because you always need to be: a) moving and b) turning. Yes, the hat is weak and yes, the guns are accurate. Your job is to keep that hat moving so no one can hit it. This is a good way to play if there is a lack of derp on the other team, as most guns in 5/6 matches won't punch through the front of this tank dead on. Just remember to not get flanked. As Lert likes to say "step one, find enemy. Step two, pick fight." As you bounce 2k damage on average, laugh and drink in the tears of your enemies.

Captain_Judo: I can have our staff look up the exact amount of ammo used in that round @ 2342 EST. Ill PM you the results.
