From the editorial:

As far as I know, and I have it on pretty good authority, Jub Zambra and the Cobrall Charmers have not played a concert in the tyrannian concert hall since their first performance on March 24th. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but there are many people, including myself, that would like to get the avatar. So my question is, was this lack of a concert on purpose or merely a forgotten accident? Please reply even if it was on purpose because I would love to know. Thanks and keep up the good work TNT! ~somename4
It was not on purpose, that's for sure. There was an error that caused another band to play on the day Jub Zambra was supposed to perform. The good news is that this was already fixed earlier this week. So, do not fear. Jub Zambra and the Cobrall Charmers shall play again!

I'm so glad it's finally been taken care of/noticed.

I'm more pleased with this QnA:

I have seen this many times on the boards: players from opposing teams making side accounts, joining the rival team & losing to lessen the score & have the other team win. Is this reportable? ~sfdscheer
Not only is it reportable, it's a freezable offense. No one may participate in the Altador Cup on any other account aside from their main. Sending in bad scores for the other team is not only poor sportsmanship, but is also downright disgraceful to the team they should be representing with honour. (And don't worry, they're really only hurting themselves.)

I was worrying about that. Good to know TNT's aware of it, at least.
