Welcome to our first black mod

Mods are actually pretty diverse, we've had atleast 2-3 black mods, 2 Asian mods, 1 middle eastern, 2 Hispanic. Just missing women. It's a shame there are no girls that play :/

...

Usually the mod who applied the punishment replies but since the mute will expire in 6 hours I don't think we need to go any further on this.
The initial reason why you got muted is this comment:
[2021-01-11 19:45:41.9619] Game [7280084], Philsfromthesoul [1270822]: kurds are turkish rape babies

and let me say looking through your chat logs I've seen more comments like this
Please just wait the 6 hours until the mute expires and if there's any issue after that time just contact a mod directly.

There isn't supposed to be appeals for anything less than 2 days.

I played this game a long time ago and I think I remember playing against the AI at some point. Was there ever a way to play against the computer if there was, was it removed? Will there ever be a plan to add a PVE function to the game.

I've never seen any trace of an AI in the code. I've only been here since 2018 though, so I can't speak to what the original developers may or may not have done before me.

I do plan to add a PvE option in the future, but I don't know when. It's a big task and there are still so many other things that need to be done before we get to that point, so I assume it will be a long while.

just take out a loan... if my calculations are correct then there shouldn't be a problem

Hmm I think you're right. I'll call up the bank about that loan tomorrow. I'm sure it won't be a problem

Fun fact: over the last 24 hours we had 2445 users online. Even if half of them are alts, there are a lot more people here than you think

Yeah, I don't think we're getting random matchups with random setups any time soon. Instead of cash prizes, hire a programmer

Do you have $150K/year to hire a programmer with? I sure don't. So until then, I'm the only programmer atWar's got. (And its not even my main project....)

Waffel should be a mod!

Agree

Are we seriously having 20 mods on an online risk game where the daily traffic of people is at peak 150?
You must be joking.

The number of active mods was around 8. Spread across 24 hours is 1 mod for every 3 hours, which almost no mod spends 3 hours a day on this game on average. It's important to have atleast 1 online for various reasons.

You might not have any idea what you're talking about.

Even in real life lottos they have a 2nd and 3rd and even 4th 5th 5th 7th and so one. (Depending if it a holiday or something)

Would be nice to have a 2nd and 3rd place

Must be a European thing... I have no idea how that even would work. This is an American lottery, either you win or you don't.

Edit: actually this is better than an American lottery since its guaranteed to pick a winner (or in this case, 2 winners). Normal lotteries can often go without any winner.

Nah thanks ...alwais mods or sup wins this..when u make 1st 2nd and 3th place that will be ok then

I don't think it's intentional. Dave explained that before, though I think it wouldn't be an issue to make the lottery wheel page exposed to the public with specific time of when it's done, so people could see there is no "mismanagement".

I thought you had all seen it but maybe not... you know you can see when the winner is chosen right there at the bottom of the lottery page, right? ==> https://atwar-game.com/events/atwar-lottery/

It's where the purchase buttons are right now. When the lottery closes at 9pm (US Central time), the buttons go away and instead it says something like "lottery closed, winner will be chosen soon...". 1 hour later at 10pm (US Central time) it picks the winner and then the message changes to display whoever won. It's all automated by the system, there is no human involvement.

Why are you guys so suspicious, anyways? I mean seriously, what possible motivation would I have to cheat? If I wanted to give a mod or supporter some PCs, I would just give them. I wouldn't have to create an elaborate lottery system to do it! It makes no sense.

If submitting from another account, what is the name of the original account: Jagdkommandos

Moderator who took action against you: dave

What was the action taken against you: No account access perma ban

Reason for action taken against you: Puchao was talking shit

Have you had warnings or prior actions taken against you for the same or similar offense: dont think so but its been a hot minute

Why that action should be repealed/reduced: Wont let puchao use my account anymore i guess assuming he hasnt died already. Apologize for anything he said

Other comments: love u guys

Let me see if I remember the reason for your ban. As I recall, it goes back to when some random dude nuked the old SP Police clan, kicking out a few hundred members or so. Then, instead of getting mad at the guy who actually nuked it, you got pissed at me for some unknown reason, and go off insulting me and spamming shit about me... why, I have no idea. I wasn't the one who kicked everybody. Due to the spam and insults, I banned you for some amount of time.

Well anyway, I guess a day or two later we end up in VC on discord and you gave what I thought (at the time) was a sincere apology, and being a sucker, I unbanned you.

The very next day, I see you back in chat spamming the same insults about me, which made me realize that your apology was totally fake. So I banned you again.

After that you turned around and did chargebacks on several payments claiming fraud with the bank, but really you were only intending to cost me as much money as you could in fees and stuff. I know this because you bragged about it afterwards in chat... you did it on purpose and I have the chat logs where you admitted it. This makes you a deliberate payment fraudster, no better than a common thief. Honestly, you ought to be in jail.

Denied.

good enough, i'll ban him

USA could do with some communism. Capitalism is killing the country, killing the people. It's nothing but a materialistic degenerate economic system which exploits the working class and promotes usury.

I want to implement a downvote function just because of this message.

Please don't, I'd lose a lot of upvotes.

I haven't seen anyone who can match Mega Mind's incredible prowess on the right, this is why you keep losing elections.

You may be right. Mega Mind legit scares me

Yup, those look like intelligent people whom we definitely want telling us how to run the country.

I figure my post will last about 34 seconds before i get banished but here it goes. i agree with the owner (dave) that the president didnt tell the people that were looking for a reason to start some shit to go start some shit. and then there is the chief room monitor (sid) who tells us that it is a good thing to mute and banish the president of the united states because he is the reason that stupid people did stupid things, so we can preserve democracy and life. really? seriously? to bring us back to the community level, the picture that froyer posted made me go back some. platforms (room monitors) banning or restricting donald trump ( players). and the icons of the platforms (room monitors) that have restricted or banned him (players) for doing nothing other than going outside the norms of the community. based on the person who decided what the norms are. it doesnt do much good for some one to advocate for someone to do what someone cant do here in this community. props to DJ and screw the double talkers. just sayin.

In fairness, we can't apply the same rules on atWar as I would apply on Twitter, if magically I somehow owned it.

atWar is like a corner coffee shop. Its open to everybody regardless of their political views. We want all our customers to be comfortable and get along. If customers get into heated arguments then the management intervenes to calm things down. The problem is not *what* people argue about, its just about trying to keep things civil for everybody to enjoy being here. If somebody doesn't like that, there's lots of other coffee shops they can go to.

And that's how we moderate atWar. We don't ban anyone for their political views. But we DO ban people for acting in an uncivil manner. We're trying to keep the atmosphere friendly(ish) to all.

Twitter, on the other hand, is like the phone company. People use it to communicate with other people. The phone company's job is simply to connect people. Now imagine that the phone company starts blocking your texts because they don't approve of your political views. There aren't many alternatives you can switch to... and the 2-3 alternatives there are also censor your messages.

I believe Twitter should be regulated as a public utility. Their content policy should be the 1st amendment of the U.S. Constitution. That means obviously certain things are prohibited -- child porn, actual criminal threats, etc. But everything else is fair game -- even political ideologies that you violently disagree with (on either side). If you can legally say it on the street corner, you should be able to say it on Twitter. Sadly, this is not the case.

I'm having a hard time deciphering this but you won't ever be censored on Atwar for your political views. If you are talking about a sensitive subject in a particular way like religion, sex, racism, etc, then your conversation might be cut short by us hall monitors but otherwise your free to your opinion.

Freedom of speech has always had limitations in America. One of those limitations is that you can't use it to incite violence or threaten people, both of which Trump has.

He didn't.

You're right to the extent that speech can't be used to incite violence or threaten people. The thing is, Trump did neither. This is a very important point.

I still don't expect you to agree with me, but you have to understand that roughly half the country sees this situation exactly the opposite way than you do. Sure, for people who hate Trump (i.e. the media, big tech, democrats, and RINOs), this is just the latest "proof" of how evil the Orange Man is. For the other half of the country, including myself, this is just the latest in 4 years of nonstop bullshit accusations. I've read his tweets, listened to his speeches, and in no way did Trump "incite" anything. It's pure nonsense.
