  1. So some of you might have noticed that the website went down today. This was due to server overload, simple as that. The addition of the Wordpress installation for the merger with RBS pushed the application server to beyond what it's capable of, so I'm considering a few options, including purchasing a better server. For the time being, I adjusted the frequency of signature image updates, easily the most resource intensive part of the whole website, from 2 hours to 5 hours. This should give me a decent amount of headroom until I decide which way to go.

    Arty fix thought

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I'd like to hear your thoughts of this idea I got a while back. I'd post it to the cesspool that is the official forums instead but fuck me for posting 50 posts there. So yeah I haven't been at the game that long yet but it is rather obvious that the whole coin flip insta-death far from ideal or fun for that matter. Also the friend who tricked me into playing this does play arty and keeps telling me how boring it and rng reliant it is but I'm sure everyone sees the whole "they should just remove arty from the game" isn't going to happe

  4. Some pubbie sent me this: I would suggest not doing anything about the overall strategy unless specifically asked. Most callers an idea of how they want things done, and more discussion/critique/etc tends to waste time and ruffle feathers. This applies even when you think you know better than the office. If you really think so, ask for a chance and step up, but a grunt armchair quarterbacking his leaders pretty much never helps anyone. I've followed calls and strats I thought were stupid, even in G. Still, preserving the integrity of command and morale of the group is more important th

At first I would like to thank Phalynx (From Vbaddict), for creating this usefull tool for extracting replays into JSON files, which you can find here https://github.com/Phalynx/WoT-Replay-To-JSON none of the following would be possible without it. And RichardNixon for error checking my WN8 and Effeciency fomulas. All the following was done through MATLAB (mat for matrix by the way not math ) TL:DR

    Calling 101

    So there has been a lot of threads about how to be a good FC, so i figured I could make a multi-part thread on how to call, and more specifically, how to call for a team of beginners. Rule#1: Two is bigger than one, three is bigger than two. Organized play in the crudest description is basically the question of "How do i get more guns firing than my opponent?" it is a very simple question, yet it is the question that hangs over every caller's head. How do you get more guns into a fight firing than your opponent? Do you maneuver your MTs and HTs so that you have more tanks firing? Or do

  13. Dungeon Crawl is a roguelike in which you play as one of a plethora of races with the goal of reaching the Orb of Zot deep within the dungeon. To do so you will go about sneaking, casting, and slashing your way too many dungeon levels. Why you'd play Dungeon Crawl: -For a Roguelike, the interface and gameplay is easy to learn. -Challenging to win. No, not "WoT mm hates me" challenging, more like "I have a 1% winrate" challenging. Shit's tough, yo. -Replayability is through the roof. Randomly generated, but made in a way that makes dying to RNG a rarity. -Quick to jump into,

Last week, on studentloans.gov I completed my master promissory note for this school year and received an email saying they would submit it electronically to my college in the next 24 hours. I go to college today. 2 people in line ahead of me. Wait 40 minutes. Get called. Woman tells me I need to print out and bring in the MPN. But the dot gov website said it would electronically submit to my college. Woman says "no they don't." uh...it's in this email right here. "that email is wrong." uh huh... Go to library, pay t

What numbers do you need other than I just hit you for 293 and you hit me for 450? Yeah good rolls don't affect games, neither does lag.

    Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup

    DCSS is probably my favorite Roguelike out there. In my opinion it is the most fair and challenging without requiring you to memorise the selling price of potions in order to not kill yourself horribly. It has generally good balance in the races and classes (with some obvious 'challenge' versions of both) that actually change the way you play the game, but have similar abilities to navigate the dungeon. A MIFI (Minotaur Fighter) can be just as effective as a DEFE (Deep Elf Fire Elementalist) but they have 100% different play styles. The game gets regular updates too which are generally

  27. Ah, cool! I was Senior Strat Mod for Tiberium / CoD WaW back in the day. For sure. If we can get people doing #1 and #3, then a lot of the "well written" part can usually be solved by having a good editor or two go through stuff. It won't be perfect, but it'll definitely help a lot.

  31. Looks like you need a non-CW clan. May I recommend IOC_5? We're pretty relaxed, generally not retarded and happy to plat without TS. Or maybe I'm just talking about myself? Anyways, I get the introvert angle. Most of the time I don't play and when I do I almost never use TS. Not entirely because I'm introverted but it does play a role. Unless by lack of social skills what you're really trying to say is that you're a shitlord that spergs hard? ;-)

  33. Hello everybody, After a couple of weeks staying quietly in the background, I’m finally confident enough to introduce myself to the masses. I actually started playing last january after seeing a documentary on NGC about Wargaming. I say playing…what I actually mean is dying. Over and over and over again. I was yolo incarnate and made about every mistake you can make. Great succes… But I have this really annoying character trait, that I need to be good in everything I do. So abviously frustration set in very quickly. Why do I suck so much? There has to be a better way! So I watched countless

  34. Valachio, these videos are great, keep them up. I just really want to stress one thing for yellows/greens/whoever who don't automatically intuit this: If you are on the business end of a 263 (or an E3) at close/medium range and you don't have a meatshield/support, unless you are a big, armored tank who is comfortable wiggling and brawling with the armor to do so, decline the engagement. The business end of an armored TD, especially a moving road-block like the E3, is just a bad place to be, even if you know the weak spots. If they are any good they will be wiggling, not letting you b

  40. Yet my article was generally considered the far more professionally written of the two. If views are the standard by which articles are judged, then Buzzfeed is quality entertainment. In any case, perhaps you would like to elaborate on how your article would be considered up to proper standards.

    As player: I agree with AquaVolt that caller confidence and the way they carry themselves in battle is crucial. I've had the opportunity to play on CarbonWard's team battles a few times and he has that confidence while being able to handle it when things don't go as planned. I think another great aspect of good callers I played under is the ability to call on the fly gracefully. Often times things don't go well or the enemy does something unexpected. A good caller can recover from those pitfalls quickly and adapt the strategy to overcome. As a mod: I understand that some of you have a
