Ontario is out of covid lockdown, so i'm back!

For those who remember Silver Light and Afterwind, you'll remember the "Ask Me Anything" hosted by Amok and Ivan. Thought i'd pick up the tradition, and get re-acquainted with the community! As the title suggests, feel free to ask anything! Non-game related questions welcome! (Especially those deep subjects you always wanted to know about, but were afraid to ask, like "What is the meaning of life?" or "Are we really living in a computer simulation?" or "Boxers or Briefs?") ♥

Good afternoon my Darlings,
As most of you know, from 23th to 28th of June, official supporter applications were open. After painstaking checks of applications, we managed to come up with 10 completely new names and 3 ex-supporters, collectively 13 players who will join our team!
Please welcome our new supporters:
Agel
Captain Steele
DireWarlord99
The_Empirezz

Hibiki Verniy
Ivan.
Kord
ltetrick
MrPhobos

A lot of us are used to keeping many tabs open at the same time. Due to recent browser updates, background tabs are now shutdown by browsers like Google Chrome, causing you to be disconnected.

I've seen a lot of people complaining about it. Some people have asked why I added an "autokicker" system -- the answer is I haven't! (Why on earth would I do that??) It's actually because of 2 new "features" introduced by Chrome as of version 87 -- "Tab Throttling" and "Occlusion Tracking". (click the link if you want to learn more about them)

In a nutshell, unless you have AW on top where you can see it, Chrome will disconnect you after a short time.

Hello Darlings,

As you know, few weeks ago, I became Head Supporter. Since then, Dave and I talked about some ideas for projects that Supporters should try to do, and we agreed on some major changes. We agreed that we need fresh blood in team. if you want to become part of Supporter team, please fill out the following form:

Special call for mapmakers and other members of scenario community to apply. One of our main goals is to try to motivate players to get into mapmaking, and to encourage mapmakers to start new projects.

Congratulations to PleaseMe who has been chosen as the new leader of the Game Meta Team!

The Game Meta Team creates, tests, and refines ideas which promote new and interesting kinds of gameplay on atWar. This includes (but is not limited to) creating new strategies, new upgrades, new units, refining existing strategies/upgrades/units, rule changes, and any other new ideas that can be implemented related to the gameplay of atWar. The team consists of several volunteers who assist with brainstorming and testing out these ideas, until they are ultimately ready to release into the game.

I'm excited to start working with PleaseMe in this area. He is someone who understands the game very well and has a deep desire to see it succeed.

Hi All,

As you know, we did something new for the Spring 2021 Season -- for the first time in atWar history we offered a prize pool for the top 3 winning coalitions, and we added a 4th category for Most Active coalition. Our goal was to increase activity, and from that perspective the season was a great success, with a total of 830 CW games played. By comparison, the previous season had 446 games. So this season saw a big increase.

Congratulations to the winners:

• 1st place: Mirage
  
• 2nd place: Mortal Kombat
  
• 3rd place: The Bosniak Legion
  
• Most Active: Hellenism with an amazing 296 games, far above anyone else

Head Supporter Estus asked to retire due to real life stuff he's working on which is requiring a lot of his time and focus. He will be back around AW from time to time, just not as often. We wish him the very best in all that he has to do, and hope to see more of him again in the future. Thank you Estus!

Effective immediately, Pavle will be taking over Estus' duties as Head Supporter. Please join me in welcoming him to this position!

The Supporters Team is responsible for helping to promote the game, mentoring new players, hosting events, and many other tasks that help keep atWar active. if you're interested in helping the game by joining the Supporters Team, PM Pavle and he'll get you started.

The season only has a couple weeks left to go! Betting odds have been updated. Check it out and place your bets here!

Note: betting will close 7 days before the end of the season, so around May 23rd. (This is a change from what I said in the previous announcement)
