We’re adding some incentive to test the battle rewrite on our (1-minute tick) dev server: $100 worth of Amazon eGift cards.

Prizes will be split between winners in the following categories:

Bug Hunting

Players will receive a point for every confirmed attack-related bug that they are the first to report. Bug reports must be made in the #support:bugs forum to count.

I repeat:

Bug reports must be made in the #support:bugs forum to count.

Successful Attacks

Successful Defending

Players will receive a point for every attack they successfully defend against from eligible* attackers.
