Yeah, the translations system has been broken ever since I took over atWar Will keep this open...

Please no pillory of players, or in this case, clans as a group of players. ♥

Translation isn't discontinued, it's still an "active" way anyone can contribute to the game. I'm not completely sure, but i believe the English lines you see are lines that have been translated, but not approved by the German language moderators (Sascha).

If something is translated wrong, it's probably because Sascha was lobotomized a few years ago and has trouble writing German and English. Please bear with him as he continues to learn the new him.

Major support for disabling fund option, would help in so many scenarios

well it's part of the strategy made by the team if we cannot fund anymore allies, that make the scenario strictly restrictied to the classic way which make the game very boring and repetitive

It's part of the game, true. You could still opt out of course, so i don't see the problem with having it as an option to solve a problem.

Political violence is never the answer, even if she might be a corrupt bitch.

The playoffs have begun, and any official notices needed to guide the playoffs to their conclusion will be posted here.

the USA is wide open as are several other countries; the opponents (like me) are pushover, in my humble opinion; (well I am and the fact that I'm still in the game, tells me the other dude can't be super great; just saying

The max joining turn has passed. Not sure if you want to delete this thread?

...

That could work. Though maybe allowing missing one turn up to turn 10, then allow two turns past that mark.
Or, I'm not sure if this this'll be easy to implement but, instead of the game auto-kicking: give the host kicking power for someone who missed a turn in the first 10, and leave it to them. That would allow the nuance for a case-by-case basis.

Ultimately, whichever version of this suggestion gets implemented will definitely be an improvement. I'm not picky.

Yeah, host having kicking might even be better. Players could then message host their particular (real life) circumstances, and host could respond accordingly. Then host could still keep the game moving by kicking players who start, but never return.

Idk if it's funny or sad that Brian is seriously replying to Sean's trolls..

Sad... definitely sad.

Problem: Currently if you're running a scenario someone can join, select an important role, then leave early in the game. And no new players can come and take up the mantle of that role. This is frustrating especially after creators spend hours balancing their scenarios only to have a huge piece (or pieces) missing by turn 2 or 3. And that issue is even more frustrating for those who play Casual.

Solution: If there was a way to allow new players to join and assume the scenario role of the lost player that would make it a lot easier to keep a game together.

---

Problem 2: In Quick Games, if you miss a few turns you can be kicked for inactivity. But in Casual Games, there is no hope for you if you have to miss a turn. You're immediately and automatically kicked. Casual Games are supposed to tailor to those who's real lives can get in the way, and I've had games I was playing for over a month long that I got booted from because of a last-minute issue keeping me from logging in for a day. Which you can imagine is infuriating.

Solution 2: Adding a setting that determines how many turns someone can miss in a Casual Game, so hosts can make that decision themselves.

The second suggestion might be easy to implement. If i see Dave i'll mention it to him, but can i make a suggestion on the suggestion... as someone who has the same issue, i tend to join 48 hour games, and i still occasionally get kicked if i have to be away for 3 or 4 days. As you may know already, it used to be like the quick games, allowing 3 turns before you got kicked... but in 48 hour games, that means about a week wait to get to turn 4 if there's a player or two who join and never play again.) So rather than have an option, it might even be easier for Dave to just implement the 1 turn kick for the first 10 turns. After 10 turns, everyone in the game is invested and the non-committed players have already been removed, so if something does call a player away for a few days, they could miss a turn or two before being kicked. Would that also work? i only suggest it because Dave has zero time these days, but it might only take a couple minutes of his time to make this type of change.

...because we simply do not know, and because the possibility fits so well with my other bullet points, I've decided to include it simply as an observation. Again, the original post was a stream of consciousness where I just list a series of observations that seem to bother me. ....


... I like to try and question these frameworks because, in all likelihood Brian, the frameworks that we've established thus far are wrong. Mankind has only been truly cognizant about the stars and the physics around us for a few hundred years. Every year that goes by is one year before the next million or more (assuming no self-annihilation inter alia).

You mentioned you had a stream of consciousness... not sure if you intended that to connect to your original opening line, but to me, it's strongly connected. If 'consciousness' is fundamental, then the nature of reality is a subset of consciousness. Therefor, it is logical and consistent, to contemplate the nature of reality, as we are blessed with this ability. This is what you initially said that caught my interest: that we ought to be contemplating the nature of reality at all times.

So if you are sincere, and not trolling, then please accept my error was not intentional, but the product of an evolving consciousness with a lot more evolution to go. ♥

However, even if 'consciousness' is not fundamental, it still seems a fairly enticing and reasonable action, to contemplate the nature of reality.

The second part, about established frameworks being questioned, and likely being wrong... respect for that. It is not easy to swim against the current - far easier to turn off the critical thinking and stop asking questions.

Napísal Tribune Aquila, 02.08.2022 at 04:47

That has not been proven at all, I would like the idea that there is a fundamental minimum length and time that cannot be divided further but that's contrary to what science has thus far proven and to basic intuition....

You used the word 'proven' which is problematic in science. Proofs can be used in math and legal fields, but science is evidence based. (i.e. nothing can be "proven" in science.)


1. Nothing in science is 'proven' until all possible observations have been made.
2. Not all possible observations have been made.
3. Therefore, general accepted principle in science is nothing can be proven.
4. You claim "that's contrary to what science has thus far proven".

3 and 4 are incompatible.

Have you ever contemplated the definition of a troll?

I'll reconsider if you can show any evidence to the contrary, but after a brief search, i can confirm every attempt at finding a length less than a planck length has failed... if you know something scientists don't, let it be published!

Napísal Tribune Aquila, 31.07.2022 at 21:58

I believe it important that we, as a complex entities with complex minds, seriously contemplate the nature of reality at all times, and allow this contemplation to guide our everyday actions.
...

Not sure if this is troll bait... but i liked your opening, and agree with it, so will respond on philosophical grounds. However i only got to the first bullet point before realizing you either were trolling or haven't done much contemplation, so i'll just address your first bullet before reading further:

You claim:

"There is no limit to the smallest unit of space or time. We can zoom in and out of space and time indefinitely. For example, we can divide a "second" by half an infinite amount of times. This property of reality seems to indicate that there is nothing truly fundamental about space or time; instead, there are only approximations of space and time. I will use this as evidence that we, at least, cannot invalidate the notion of the block universe."

Of course this has been known to be false for over a century now... both for planck length and planck time. You mentioned time. Planck time constant was determined around 1900 according to most credible sources. Since time can be quantized, it is consistent with the 'simulation hypothesis' (i.e. that we are living in a video game) and these quantized units represent the limits of the processor running our particular game (in much the same way video games have quantized pixels for length, and frame rates for time.)

What's really amazing about this, is that because time can't be divided indefinitely, the system is REAL. (An infinite system can't be real, since infinity doesn't exist in reality.) So because the system is finite, it can be defined, and is therefor real... chew on that for a moment of existential contemplation, as once you do a bit more research to fact check, you'll likely have a major shift in your world view.

They finally named the problem.

atwar players posting their ideas

No need for more ideas since Dave is already struggling to find time to deliver essential solutions.

Hey I've kept atWar running, which by itself is an accomplishment.

Napísal Badshah, 19.07.2022 at 09:10

Hey i suddenly have a problem when starting games as the host of the new 2.0 world map.. im not able to spawn any submarines helicopters and even some other units and buildings ... why is that so ?

It was a bug. The map is fixed now

Napísal Asylan, 17.07.2022 at 20:46

This is forum post to discuss: "Asking the general public for their opinion about a certain tactic and/or combination."

...

Speaking as a player, it's simple... play according to how the game was meant to be played. One of the great things about most of the AW community is that people get this. No one has fun when players use an exploit to win... it just wastes time. Even the player abusing the exploit eventually gets banned from other's games, and then wonders why no one lets them join.

In this case:

For a R10 to not understand why it's wrong to use an exploit is inexcusable in my opinion. A R10 has been around enough to have it happen to them, and knows through experience that it ruins everyone's fun. If it was a R5, i might give them the benefit of the doubt, and if they apologize or agree to stop, i would probably give them another chance.

As DireWarlord already said, if you're new, and you're not sure, there's no harm in asking. This would solve every problem, every time. But if you do make the mistake, own up to it, and don't blame another player. The excuse 'another player did it to me' is beyond lame ... i guarantee that for every low conduct player who abuses, there were 20 (probably more) that didn't, so you're intentionally copying the actions of low conduct players, and ignoring the honourable players that are leading by example.
=================
As for leaving the game, it's a tough one ... in general, stay if you can.

In this case:

The player asked permission and got a response from his allies it was okay to leave... this shows respect and honour in my view, so in this case, it's perfectly acceptable.

Nobody gets any PCs until you message me directly.

The translation system is broken... has been broken since before even I was around.... I have to manually verify and send PCs.... nobody gets them automatically, and no mod can give them to you.

pls give me my pc becouse this is not fair

Hi Konstantin_Bodin. Just visited the translation forum, and as far as i can see, it's been over 2 years since there has been any activity. The original criteria for pc rewarded in recognition of translation was begun by Ivan and Amok (prior to Dave taking ownership.) As a result, Dave will first have to confirm that the rewards haven't changed, and second, whether a mod is able to give these.

Regrets if there is any further delay, but the issue hasn't come up before until you brought it up. Perhaps message me privately if Dave doesn't respond in the next 2 days, and we can ensure you are correctly rewarded. ♥

It is no joke.

What a loser haha

Thank you for the detailed bug report. I'll look into it when I can. However, please don't put [OPEN] in the title before I've had a chance to look at it, that's supposed to be my own organizational system only. Thank you

I like it

You know what's funny? These people who say they hate my posts, but they come read them! Literally, the only forum I post on is Off Topic. As if I my posts are unavoidable and I'm forcing people to read my posts and you can't not read my posts in every single forum! My posts suck. My posts are bad. My posts are evil. Says the same people coming to read them! Well don't read them, Kaska and Croat!

You're right you know. 30 people have visited this post since it's creation. Your talents are being wasted, but worse, you're humour and insight could be reaching millions.

So how can i help?

May i suggest you begin posting on government sites? Alternatively, major news sites have forums to express your political opinions to the enlightened electorate.

Perhaps you need a little push... next time you post only for Croat/Kaska, and receive fewer than 10 upvotes, i'll ban you from AW forums ♥

Brilliant right? You're like Kevin Hart, doing stand up in a mining town on amateur night. By banning you, you'll be forced to play Lincoln Field, where you'll be adored by the masses. You are so deserving. And think of poor Croat and Kaska... no longer having to read your hilariousness and being unable to appreciate your genius. It's win win.

Sad day for "AW is dead" believers. (Just R16 open games shown)

...
But how did it not get deleted IN BETWEEN THEN AND NOW? You say there were good admins BACK THEN. Which means this has been up throughout the reign of BAD ADMINS. How did it not get deleted?

Just to be clear - the most recent pic that most people might find offensive is nearly 6 yrs old. At that time, the use of swastikas in a war game (especially one that had heavy usage of WWII maps) was not considered offensive, provided it was game related, and not intentionally used to offend or troll. This thread was created to display AW art, so it's a bit of a grey area... but the 'art' in question is on topic, and more importantly, it wasn't reported. At that time, the community may have had a higher tolerance, and while it is clear the "artist" was being provocative, he was aware that his contribution was avant garde (he compares his 'art' with the 'dicks' images) so it would be considered sufficiently respectful and humourous for the time.

Hopefully that clarifies the issue so you can end the discussion and get the thread back on track by creating some art of your own ♥

Only a world war can revive this game.

I'm working on WW3, gimme some time....

Covid was just a dress rehearsal.

The Units page was only ever meant to show the units for the World Map, and this it does correctly. By "new default units" I assume you are referring to World Map 2.0, but if we're going to show those we would need a totally separate Units page for World Map 2.0. We can't mix units from different maps together.

Anyway this is not a bug since it is currently working as designed, so I'll close it. But just so you know I will be building a new Units page where you can select the map you want to view units from. (and by that I mean ANY map, not just World Map or World Map 2.0). This has been on my list for a while.
