Don't worry, the new 'chest' will not be used every time, sometimes it will still be a letter or spinach, sometimes maybe even boobytraps or view finders ;-)

Hear hear, seems all they want to do now is purge the game of the OGs

About tomorrow's battles : for Kansas, it's written in game the battle will take place at 3:16 pm tomorrow while in the official thread it's written it will be at 9:15 pm. I guess the correct hour is the one in the official thread and I thought the hour in game would be changed later but it's like that since several hours ago. So just a small message as a reminder in case you forgot to change the hour lol 
Or to know if in the end it will really take place at 3:16 pm and not 9:15.
In any case, thanks for the Awesomia battles !

What happened with the survey on join restrictions? Can we see results like last years?

Attacks need more incentive to join attack. Everone is just joining in defense for fort safety, easy win, doesn't want to die or we see too few in attack and decide why bother attack because it will be just a slaughter so go on defense.

Agree with KB, i would suggest extra 5 bonds bonus for attacks, think it would be worth a try if it can be done.
pull the trigger

what happened to the rewards for today's Arizona Awesomia battle? got nothin'
The issue with rewards is being investigated. Anyone who should have received and failed to receive them will be identified and granted retroactively in the coming days.
The survey results will be published shortly, but, in summary, all worlds rejected join restrictions.
We will explore a return to adding attacker bonuses after the valentines event.

Jordy, Goober & all fort mods.......important question...for years there's been debate about what gets you into Awesomia forts more .....the order of the signup and / or the time you arrive at the fort. If you're the 4th person to signup for awesomia but get there 4 seconds before it starts....does that still put you in front of the chaps that signup really late but get there an hour before it starts? Any kind of easy explanation here is appreciated
Officially it is “random, with some priority for early sign up and early arrival”
In reality it is “indeterminate”
As best I can tell it is the equivalent of an incomplete sort on an SQL limit statement.
So, effectively “order by rank desc, freelancer desc limit <cap>”
After that it's whatever order they are returned from the table. That can be _influenced_ by order of sign up, order of arrival, order of last starting position update, but none of those are definitive. Past experience suggests those who sign up late, arrive late and/or update their start position at the last minute (including using the position table window as a shortcut for traveling to fort) are less likely to get in, but I think arriving early is not likely enough to improve your odds to offset the value of continuing to farm jobs.

From what i've experienced it seems that the sign up order might have the best weight in this calculations as i arrived pretty late a couple of times but signed up in the first 30 and every time i got in.
I know of multiple, specific, verified, examples where someone who signed well before the battle was full got left out, so "definitely in order of signup" is demonstrably incorrect. However, statistically speaking it is certainly a substantial contributing factor.It's definitely in order of signup. But I never thought of if someone signs up at exact same time for the same side, what would be a secondary factor. I guess arrival time, but judging by what's said above, even they don't know!

I know of every specific, verified occurrence of when I signed up early, I got in and when I signed up late, I did not. Without any other demonstrative answer for what the prevailing factor would be, this would be it. So thank you for the circling, fort-strategist, non-answer.

here is the bottom line....on Colorado we are the largest fort attending world...please consider giving us 2 awesomia battles per week during valentine event and all others....we would absolutely overfill every one of them. bonuses have been very good....(3) 500-heart baskets is great
