You need a Tier 1 IJN Hashidate in a random battle.Post your scores here, or tweet them to @iEarlGreyTV the only request is that entrants also volunteer a wager to go into the prize fund i.e An item that can be gifted from the Wargaming Premium shop.

Saltpastillen ∞ Beta Tester 91 posts 6,985 battles Report post #6 Posted September 25, 2015 This is typical forum reactions. Should have warned poor IEarlGrey this might happen.

[BEWBS] iEarlGrey Players 120 posts 10,821 battles Report post #8 Posted September 25, 2015 The idea is to build a pot of promised rewards I.e a prizefund. It's not obligatory to enter though. Hopefully a nice test of gunnery. The guys on stream think captain skills not important but must be a random battle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[KLUNJ] beercrazy [KLUNJ] Beta Tester 1,509 posts 11,905 battles Report post #10 Posted September 25, 2015 you want to run a competition that's fine you want to advertise competition on forums while asking people to pay to enter competition is not fine if we can all advertise what we want on here then get ready for some spam adverts for my business I run (joking by the way about the spam) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it is a typical reaction but it should have been an expected reaction to a rather short-on-information post. He should have maybe introduced himself (I don't watch any streamers so unless it is Jingles or Quickybaby I kind of have no idea who they are!). He should then have explained how the system will work in reasonable detail if he expects people to buy in to this idea because there is a degree of trust needed to just hand over money (effectively) to... some random guy as part of a prize pot!

[BEWBS] iEarlGrey Players 120 posts 10,821 battles Report post #14 Posted September 25, 2015 Just to be clear, it is not pay to enter. It is only requested that participant consider chucking something by way of a prize in. So I've said I'll be happy to pay 3,000 doubloons to the winner, two others have promised 1,000 each and another has said they'll provide 24hrs premium. deciding if we should break the rewards down to 1st 2nd 3rd etc btw I did introduce myself in the newcomers section yesterday.

[EW_YK] Barkyro Players 439 posts 13,829 battles Report post #17 Posted September 25, 2015 Ok I think I have a sollution. Make a post with all the info on the competition. A clear path of participation and also the rules. Make it clear how the donations work and so and so. I also understood from your first post hat I have to pay to enter. This is just miscommunication thats it. Just make it clear to the people. +1 on the initiative tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[KLUNJ] beercrazy [KLUNJ] Beta Tester 1,509 posts 11,905 battles Report post #19 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) fair enough you all think he is great maybe I am reading this all wrong and he is giving away prizes and not demanding anything for that but the way he started the topic (he has edited it) seem to say to me you had to do a wager maybe iearlgrey should ask a moderator to delete this thread so he can start again from new and explain the rules in the thread at the start and not change them when he likes edit:spelling mistake Edited September 25, 2015 by beercrazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PGTIP] Naatibus Players 129 posts 1,678 battles Report post #20 Posted September 25, 2015 It's actually a live stream and a lot of ppl have donated to the prize fund so it's not some kind of scam don't know if posting of links to streams are allowed or not so will not post. He is on twitch and it's not hard to find the stream. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[KLUNJ] beercrazy [KLUNJ] Beta Tester 1,509 posts 11,905 battles Report post #21 Posted September 25, 2015 I originally posted I reported it as a "possible" scam due to the wording of the original thread the op started it with remember the original thread stated you had to do a wager to enter he gave no information about himself in this thread and not everyone follows streamers or watches you tube videos you must also take into account this is a eu forum and as such comes under the eu rules and he started a gambling competiton when he said it was a wager and that is illegal in eu this is a public forum and as such wg have to be careful what gambling they allow on the forum due to fact somebody will always blame wg if they don't win 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripping off anyone is the last thing he would do. Well then its a non issue as Twitch TV has a donation option so ask there! not here! Also Im sure Erl is a great guy but this is not transparent! IE if 100 people Donate 5€ is the total prize going to be 500€ is it going to be a % of the donations and he keeps a Cut? this would be fine but it has to be transparent. The internet if full of such scamms where the poster pockets the bulk of the donations so yes unless its controlled by a Third party (something like kickstarter) where the donations volume and quantity are displayed in a format the requester has no control over its potential to be a scam is huge!

Saltpastillen ∞ Beta Tester 91 posts 6,985 battles Report post #23 Posted September 25, 2015 EarlGrey never intended people to cash in money. He asked people to consider adding to the pool using the gift system. So doubloons, premium time, etc. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
