Happy birthday, Tanki!

^Clearly, this guy's love for Corvettes is at odds with Mr. Slow's username.

This new system, in my opinion, will make it easier for more active players to win (such as the Russians, who may be able to spend hours a day on the game/forum), and harder for normal players. For example, due to the release time of the videos, I will be at school and so will not be able to see them for 6 hours until after they've been released. With the old system, this would have been OK, since you only had to make sure to be online when the final clue was released - it didn't matter when you saw the other clues, as long as you used your initiative to solve them. But with the new system, it means that I'll have practically no chance of entering the clues early on the days they are released. Those who have more time for the forum/game will be fine, whereas those who don't will be disadvantaged. It seems that this is a case of increasing competition for the Russian community, and leaving our community behind in the dust. I'm very disappointed; I may be the first from our community to put forth such criticism, but once the Game gets underway, I'm sure I won't be the last...

Awesome, good luck all!

Just so you know, post count doesn't really mean anything... I was going to downvote your post, then I discovered I've ran out of negative votes for today. Clearly, I've been feeling very considerate recently xD

Statistically, Brazil should win, though I'm sure Portugal will be strong contenders.

Thanks for the feedback! And thanks, MG ^_^

It's been known about for a while, I guess.

Yep, canadarules uses Prodigi in XPs...

You do not understand how business works.

I advise we cease this public discussion of moderator's actions. It seems you may have got the wrong idea from my last post, let me elaborate. Personally, I hold nothing against MisterGeneral anymore. There simply is no point in bringing up past disputes or rumours, it won't be constructive in any way. I'm encouraging getting back on topic here simply because this debate is not appropriate for the forum. I would take the opportunity to compliment him on his more recent work for the players of our community, but I do not wish to violate the 'public discussion' rule myself.

Ohhhhh, not this debate... I thought that public discussion of moderator's actions is against the rules, positive or negative. Odd. Otherwise, I'd happily respond to Expertise's point. But clearly, this isn't an appropriate discussion topic for POTD, so we should probably get back on-topic...

Well, it can be addictive - no, I'm not addicted. OK, we can all agree the game's pretty fun otherwise we wouldn't be here. And I've got to admit, XP battles have really added a competitive aspect to the game. However, the best sign of addiction is always the 'withdrawal symptoms' - if someone were to challenge you not to play the game for a whole month, as a matter of seeing how much self-control you have, would you be able to do so? If the answer's no, you're addicted. In my case, the answer's yes, since I've voluntarily taken breaks from the game on numerous occasions.

This is something which the administration is in the process of discussing, so I've heard. Obviously, there might be pros and cons to this (e.g. an unsuspecting player might not know what XP means, enter a battle with the wrong combo and then get banned for doing so, which wouldn't be too fair). Therefore, the debate here is whether XP battle rules should be added to the game rules, or whether we should wait for the XP battle mode to be integrated as an official mode into the game.

'Grats on ranking, rider :p

Playing on a new laptop now... 60 FPS and a new keyboard really are helpful ^_^

Yes. Well, you asked...

Twins... That infinite reload definitely comes in handy.
