Congratulations Blade of Dawn!

We'll have some changes to the expected map change times. Due to everyone's availability we'll most likely change over on the 1st. Option 4 is the winning map if you haven't looked recently.

We ended the map a little early to let players have some fun on a WTF mode until the new map starts. Scores for the past round are being calculated and will be posted soon. The current WTF mode is a fun one! The VH may be messing around with the map as we go, if there's something you think we should try then mention it on side chat. It might just happen!

Make sure to visit the Wasteland & Raids forum to see the March 2024 Map thread, and then head on over to the Game Vote on the Main Page to select the map we should start playing on the 29th.

I'll start by apologizing to the players, I didn't intend to upset anybody. There was never any intention to target any specific players, or anything of the sort. I had a miscommunication with the rest of staff about this issue, and that is entirely my fault. I am sorry.

I'm going to ease up on enforcing rule 1.1 in side chat. I'd like to be clear about what the players can expect from myself and the other VH going forward.

Single dots will no longer be punished unless it becomes excessive. Excessive means, at the bare minimum, that a good rule of thumb would be to make sure another dot isn't visible in the expanded chat history. If a single player is posting a dot several times a day, that will also be considered excessive. I'd still encourage players to just send an emoji instead; our GFX artists worked hard on designing them and we all enjoy seeing them used.

I need to acknowledge that I've been using the term "spam" when messaging players about this, and what I meant by that was "flood" or "flooding". I did not initially make a distinction between these terms and found them to mean the same thing, but I think this has caused some additional confusion with the players. To be clear, the issue in side chat is flooding, not spamming.

Spamming, however, is not allowed in the forums, even in private clan forums.* There was recently an issue with this that was addressed by another VH, but if this continues then I will be forced to shut down and delete any offending clans, and issue the appropriate punishments to any offending players. Consider this the final warning about spamming in the forums.

Flooding, will also be punished. In the past, dot trains have fallen under this rule, and they will continue to do so. I want to be as lenient as I can be, but the text of rule 1.1 makes it pretty clear that this type of thing isn't allowed. Encouraging other players to break the rules in an organized fashion is a violation of rule 5.0 and will be met with accordingly more severe punishments.

I know that I may sound like a tyrannical dictator when I say these things, but I hope you can appreciate that really I am trying to help you. Staff have discussed this issue collectively and the above reflects how the entire team will be responding to any situations that arise.

* - I've got a funny personal anecdote related to this topic, message me if you'd like to hear it.

Here are the round results:

1. Chapter: 1,631,605 points
2. Blade of Dawn: 1,272,795 points
3. Dark Flame: 679,435 points
4. Outcasts: 628,525 points

Map change this time is a bit late. I thought that instead of coordinating with a dev to be online together I could just have them change the important settings ahead of time and then I could do the face lift after, but I forgot one important detail. I'm sorry for the extended down time, as soon as we're able to get the settings changed for the WL to be functional we'll throw it back on. If it takes a bit too long then I'll put in a temporary fix and put it up anyway. Thank you for your patience.
