Dear WG,

How many times you gonna repost this? it is a bit boring to repost it three times, dont you think? Or it is just a way to make us feel informed and fed? Still wonder why guys on RU server are fed with articles and specials and videos and all this stuff, even on weekends....yet EU server is about reposting old videos and on weekend not a damn thing?

I know you wont reply, but still I had strong temptation to tell you anyway....

All best (hopefully also for us on EU server),

So...we see a tier I hiding in the castle then a prepared situation where the lorraine barely defend himself against what could be a lemmings pack and the cunningham entering in the "fight" for last with his clan members,very nice...   What should be the "coordination" here? do it in a random battle not with clan members and prepared scenes,is like: i place a ball under each of the 3 glasses,now lift a glass and try to find a ball....you found it! what a luck!

Well, you certainly can`t blame us for behaving like lemmings... because we are the Attack Lemmings (Rynnäkkösopulit  [RSOP]) and we do not deny our true nature. :Smile_Default:

Sarek for president! :Smile_great:

Also, what people dont realize (who were not even taking part on that competition most likely..) that how hard it was to get a good score on that contest. People tried to do same to us also, leaving one alive so tier 1 could cap and take Invader, but they failed. The maps are by far too little to actually sneak a cap with tier 1, since always when 2 companies saw other had tier 1 with them they tried to make sure there is defense to take out that tier 1 as a primary target, to make sure your own companies 1 entry has better chances on winning. It was survival and tier 1 hunting -contest at the same time.

When put it on that perspective, they chose our fight for the video to show an example on how can achieve the goal to take part on that competition. Congrats to the winners from me also. :Smile_Default:

I agree with those saying to stop reposting this. All those who care have seen it. Let dead dogs lie.

Maybe it is reposted because they updated content, finally. Our clan tag is finally RSOP, not RSPO :P

I don't get it. If they repost it, why don't they FREAKING add new videos ?

Why don't they post videos from us PTS, ofr instance, or the other winners ?

My dear co-players! Try not to take this contest video thing too seriously - or jealously.


It was meant to be just pure entertainment dressed with some music, requirements of the mission in hand and technical info about couple of the tanks the players used in the match, ok? As commented in this thread by players who were in that team, lots of shooting, driving, giving orders and taking them cannot be seen or heard in the video. It is a action-packed music video for promotional purposes (for WoT) and I think it works well in that role.

The reason we RSOP lemmings get so much fun out of this is that in a way we feel we still represent the underdogs or the little people (well, little rodents at least) when comparing our clan to "big fellas" within the wonderful world of CW. Getting some surprise attention to our evolving clan was hilarious, since we judged our performance realistically and knew we wouldn`t win the contest. That didn`t keep us from trying to do our best and participating to the contest, though. We fought gallantly and learned from the matches many times the hard way but we didn`t give up. And that is what we think this phenomena called  WoT is all about: "Never give up, never surrender!"

This video has been watched over 100,000 times so far and the no of views is constantly growing. This is the main reason why we moved it to the top of the page.

Well, in this contest protecting the tier 1 tank by whatever means possible was an essential element to get the job done. It was also a question of dedication and commitment, willingness of paying the ultimate price in personal level for the team`s success. In my opinion no price is too high when you are fighting for King and Country! You can save and cherish your big tier tank behind others` backs in random battles but in this contest it was all for the sole tier 1 tank no matter what cost. And by the words of "late" J.T.K.: "It was... fun!"

ollivier: It is not mandatory to watch the video if you do not like it. Just ignore it at the top of the list.

I hope people will stay at their jobs, keep working normally with their hearts full of anticipation and watch the video during their spare time as a reward. Family life must also come before virtual entertainment, but otherwise everyone is free to watch it as many times as they want as long as there are no harmful side-effects from watching it. As for easy availability of the video it just makes finding it easier. I don`t see any problem in this: eventually it will be removed from the list when something else comes to its place. In the meantime we can keep on watching (or not). You have the freedom of choice.
