I would like to clarify that players have been independently scheduling matches on Awesomia, which in turn affects the matches announced by the team. This was the case with the Arizona match, which was adjusted without prior notice to the team in order to align with our announcements.

It is important to note that we are not obligated to schedule matches, nor are we required to provide rewards for them. Therefore, we would kindly ask that this matter be put to rest. From our perspective, the options are straightforward: either we leave the situation as it is and move forward, or we discontinue scheduling any matches on Awesomia on behalf of the team. The decision is yours.

My comment was about digging Awesomia fights according to the announced schedule, not about Awesomia fights having priority which I believe large majority of players do not dispute. Event fights should be dug at least a day before the battle starts so that players have enough time to signup, not 2-3 hours before so that only few which were lucky to be online can join (e.g. event fight on Vegas that was dug very close to announced time had attendance of 3 vs 3).

we made an interstitial where the reason was shared - we are only humans and sometimes communication can be hard when several timezones and persons are involved.
And Bat.Masterson even wrote it here also.

Do better.......I believe that is the overall consensus. Surely it can not be that hard to call a battle.

Looks like another late setup of the last Awesomia battles for this event. Less than 48 hours from when they are supposed to start.
Since Colorado fills so fast people need to check hourly or sooner to see when it is set up.
With my luck that will happen while I am asleep and I will miss getting in, Sending a ticket is useless when it is the last FF of an event.
Now if you were to send out the rewards to those that send a ticket for not getting in, that would be different. But in this case even that wouldn't help as the event would be over before the ticket got processed.

The fort battles will be (have been) scheduled this evening.
Please keep in mind that we are also human and work on a voluntary basis.
We are not obligated to organize Awesomia battles, we do so for the players.
For those who missed out previously, we can offer a reserved rank for the upcoming battle; this is the only compensation we can provide.
You can read the conditions for this here: https://forum.the-west.net/index.php?threads/left-out-of-awesomia.61311/

The battle shows to still have 50 hrs before it starts and almost no one has signed up yet. Maybe 5 people on each side.

I have dug the fort battle on the Colorado world, you can now freely sign up.
I believe that, in this case, there is an adequate amount of time between the announcement and the start of the battle.

I wish everyone a great battle and successful pretzel collecting!
I hope we were able to help you with this as well.

Any chance that the battle reward budget could be increased to blue letter (100 bonds)? If not for this fight, then perhaps for the next ones.

In my personal opinion, this could be feasible; however, the budget and, of course, the opinions of the other team members must also be taken into consideration. We usually provide the best possible rewards within our available options. I will forward the request, and as a player myself, I would also be glad to see higher rewards.
