We get the special if, and only if WoT wins an award.

So no victory = no special

I would only vote for WoT because it will benefit my fellow and fellowess tankers and not for my own personal gain. :Smile_trollface-3:

The Golden Joystick page finally loaded (and still not fully) after 1.5 mins. Seriously people - are we back to 90's with internet connection and pages loading time?
All other pages load in a second, so there is no connection problem on my side.
Pass it on to the award organisers that they should really work on their page's capacity issues...

There you go (page content):

Spoiler

This is pretty much (except rewards) same thing WG did last year.

A bit "lame" (not the correct word, but you know what I mean) to bribe the community like that. Most of the players here have grown out of the napkins and pacifiers, and have developed an opinion on their own, and shouldn't be taken by the hand to do "what mommy likes best"

Btw, no Tier VIII's on sale is a big no-no.

Actually nothing would be better. If it wins, that will mean what? That the game is good or that incentive(read bribe) was good?
But who cares what community really feels about the game, right?

Well, they learned from the last votings. Many refused to vote WoT... me included.. why should I vote for a game which wants to be so much with such an old engine. But yea... they bought BW... I don't expect something big soon though.

This bribe... well... deal! :Smile_sceptic:

I feel like selling my voting to satan. :Smile_veryhappy:

Cheers! :Smile_honoring:

I'm having the same problem. I restarted my connection to the Internet, but the result is the same... :Smile_sceptic:

Well, it's rush hour. I try it later... but I still think of not voting...

This game actually not rly deserves it at it's current stage.

Hmmm... need to think about this...

Well, you can look at it like a bribe attempt, I rather like to think of it as "If we win, we will give you a big thank you."
