Well what can I say? It certainly has been an eventful year for AhoyWorld, we have seen leaders changed not just once but twice, a big turnaround in staff, staff restructuring and as always had some ups and downs.
 
I can assure you, 2018 will certainly be a different year. There will be lots more changes to come and we will need all your help to achieve what we hope will be the best years to come for Ahoy.
 
So with that I present you the 2017 awards!

As Version 3 is live on the EU1 (despite some small issues) I really like the new setup and had a lot of fun yesterday. THX for the instresting change.

Hi Everyone,
 
I understand that it has been more than a month since I last visited here and played on AW's servers. I have been busy assisting my wife with the preparation for the arrival of our daughter.
 
After nearly 40 weeks of wait, my wife safely gave birth to our baby girl (3.3kg) on the 28th Nov. Since then, I have been moving around in the house at double time and have not touched my gaming rig.
 
Once we have settled, I hope to find time to return to AW's servers. Looking forward to be back in action.
 

 
Now A Proud Father,
fir_nev
 

Hi all
 
Today we introduced new server tags on TeamSpeak which represent your preference in VR headsets if you have one. We have two tags, one for Oculus Rift  and one for HTC Vive .
 
You can apply these to yourself by simply right clicking your name, hovering over Set Server Group and then clicking either Virtual Reality (Oculus) or Virtual Reality (HTC Vive).
 
We'll be introducing a few more new groups in the coming weeks, too. As of today, Outreach team members have a tag against their names now:

Anyone else playing Forza Motorsport 7 on PC?
 
Couple of laps below in my current favourite car. First time I've ever played a racing game solely from the cockpit view, so it's a bit of a learning experience.
 
 

The meeting minutes of the meeting on Friday are available now:
 

Thanks for listening and bringing AhoyWorld to the highest peak it has ever reached @Ryko. I understand many people, including myself, have given you shit in the past but you truly have done a good job and I commend your efforts.
 
I feel @PiranhA was a good choice to take the helm, he seems to have the best intentions for the community and is capable of listening to people's thoughts and criticisms to make it better. I would also like to thank him for his kind words as well as @Colsta after the last community meeting, it really means a lot to me.
 
Perhaps tonight at the community meeting we can discuss things together and as a community thank you for your endeavors.
 
It is also interesting to see David return, though we may not have the best relationship as of the last time I saw him, it is good to see an AhoyWorld Senior (EU3 Veteran like analogy, no you're not old) make a return and I see no reason why we cannot settle any differences.
 
Once again, thank you for your efforts.

Let's take a step back here and assume we don't.
 
So far, we've been given mixed signals by a multitude of people we couldn't even begin to separate into camps, philosophies or wants and needs. It's all a blur, but fucking swearing the shit out of the situation is decidedly not going to help.
Evidently Teddy wants to be regarded as separate from the pot-stirring, excrement-flinging parties. That's fine, there's one. Who else will own up to wanting to change things and actually give us something to work with?
 
I want a list. Bullet points. No quoting, no name-calling, no pointing fingers unless it's conducive to your argument.
The glory days of old will remain glorious, but there's no chance of them returning if all you do is reminisce and whinge about how they're gone.

People keep saying AW is dying, are we talking about AW or AWE? Because they are not the same thing.
 
I see EU1 full all the time, occasionally less so during the week, so much so I cannot get online on those occasions I want to hop on (fair enough as well).
 
If this is aboue AWE, shouldn't this be in the AWE forum as this seems to be where all this hubub is kicking off from, and by the sounds of it those who do not play there are better off for it.
 
I've never played AWE, have a great time on AW public servers and plug the community/servers wherever I can, nor have I ever seen the level of issues you all seem to have, so I guess staying on the fringes has it's benefits.

My Resignation.
 
First let me say this is not a decision I have reached lightly, nor without great turmoil; it has taken me a considerable effort to reach this decision. If you don’t want to read further into this (but I’d suggest you do); the short version is that I am resigning from all AhoyWorld administrative responsibilities with immediate effect.
 
There have been many great times spent on this server for me, at this point I easily have 1000+ hours of Arma 3 invested with AhoyWorld. I remember the days when I first came to the server, fresh out of a milsim unit, and looking for something just as serious, but more chilled out. EU3, as it was then, was just what I wanted. Back in what I can only describe as it’s heyday back then, 3 was one of the best environments to game in; full of fun, approachable and ultimately very caring people. You had a laugh, but you got the job done while you were at it - you would fight tooth and nail for your team-mates.
In contrast: if I were to compare this to the current environment of AWE, I find myself reaching a stark conclusion - it is nothing close to that now. The AWE we all know now is not one true to the original spirit of EU3. 
 
Not being of the original spirit of EU3 is a crucial issue to me; for now over a year I have been part of the team at the top of AWE. We came into being at a time of great uncertainty for EU3. We worked hard, extremely hard to arrest the freefall the community was facing at that time - and we did just that. In the short term we even enabled the server to prosper - player numbers went up. We managed to start rebuilding. But something went awry along the path, it has led us to the place we find ourselves now. A server where everything has been done with the best intentions, done for the right reasons, but not yielded the right results.
 
I set myself the personal goal of redeveloping EU3, making it into something better than what it had been before steering committee came to be. I wanted, and still do, to leave AWE in a position of strength, a position much better than the one it had been in. I have come to the realisation that this is something I have ultimately failed to achieve. And I hold myself personally accountable for that, for right or for wrong, for better or for worse. I have reached a point in life where I feel I have given everything there is for me to give to AW. Every time we have reached a milestone with AWE, I have known that we can do better, do more. This is perhaps why my goal has proven so elusive. However, the will to push forward, to do more and be more is no longer with me. I find myself more going through the motions, than actively driving myself to do better. I have lost the motivation to continue to fight forward. I must confess that I have been carrying on for some time knowing I perhaps needed a break, but I’m a give it your all, or not at all type of guy. I tried to take some time off during a holiday in the summer; it didn’t go well. Let’s just say there was a heated discussion amongst the staff team. Ultimately I felt that I had to do my part, step up to the plate as part of the team. That stopped me from taking the time away I probably needed to. It speaks to a larger issue within the staff team at AhoyWorld; but I’ll come to that further in.
 
Amentes made me aware of sunk cost fallacy, and this pretty much describes my feelings towards the situation I find myself in, perfectly. I have poured my heart and soul into AW, often to the detriment of other things in my life - but that’s the type of person I am, and I make no apologies for that. It is this total commitment, and the ultimately unattainable goal that I believe has left me in the position of carrying on now, for only the reason I have put so much into AW. That’s not something that is healthy, it is not something I should be doing to myself. It is not something I can continue to do any longer. The stress and weight of the responsibility that I hold is not something I can continue on with; not because of the expectations of others, but because of my own. Without some things seriously changing I cannot continue to give my all, give what I feel you, the community, deserve. And to me, that is not on.

If AWE were to be taken in a new, renewed direction; then I would most definitely wish to continue to fight on. I feel that if we were to return to some of the original beliefs of EU3 then we could, and would, progress forward. I am afraid that nothing will change without a radical shift in thinking though, and this is perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back. Coming to the realisation, that no matter how hard I push, some things will just not happen.
As for the staff team; there are elements of it that just don’t work at the moment. It is in a position of turmoil, where there is very little cohesion, and many divisions. I shall not name names, because that is not something I should do. However, I do believe in honesty and transparency, and so you, the community, should know about it. Those wishing to join the team should be critically aware of what they are getting into. I mean this with no malice, but instead a fundamental respect for those people who wish to step up, and do what is necessary.
 
I would like to pay homage to those past and present who have put every effort into EU3, now AWE; thank them for everything they have done. I would also like to say thanks in advance for everything that those who will follow me do. Without the dedication of so many people AWE would not be where it is now, and it will not go where it may go either. 
In the end I hold myself personally accountable for failings here at AW. Because I know I should do better, but I can’t, not right now, and I don’t know if I will be able to again.

I promise you this, I will do my best to stay around AW as a regular player, to push for change as a regular player. I care deeply for this community, and writing this has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in a long, long time. I’ve had to stop 3 times now - and I confess, every time has been because I have teared up pretty badly. I suppose, I should probably finish this off with an apology.
 
I am truly very sorry for not doing better by you AhoyWorld.

Best Regards and Goodbye,
Copey

We do take great pride in keeping up the longstanding Arma community friendliness and netiquette as has been the case since 2001. If you cannot live up to this, we will have to remove you from the xml, this might happen without further warning, and in some cases even result of being banned for all our services including the forum.
 
Offenses that will result in retracting your squad.xml membership:
- Any other community or group reports you as misbehaving on their server or forum while carrying our tags (regardless if it's proven or not)
- Misbehaving on our own server resulting in a ban by one of the admins will get you removed from the server
- Any other offense against our rules that will force us to assume you are not fit to represent us publicly
 
The staff-team reserves the right to reject any membership application for the squad.xml for any or no reason as we deem fit. In the end, we have full control who can or cannot represent our community.

Yes. Yes it is offensive.
 
Respective of this comment, I will refer you to the community rules and guidelines; 1.1.1 specifically.
'AhoyWorld is a welcoming community that respects its members and visitors. We expect everyone to maintain this environment and will take action against those who jeopardise that community spirit.'
Offensive jokes are funny at times - but there is a time, and a place; and especially when it is in good humour - and they are actually funny. I would suggest to you that this is not funny - think about it. Seriously, take a moment to think, it's important for what comes next Julian.
 
If you arrive at the conclusion that you have stepped awry of what is considered acceptable behaviour; then post a ban appeal, and it will be considered. But beware, you have made a name for yourself as being rather obnoxious and toxic with players and admins alike.
 
Should you arrive at the conclusion that this sort of behaviour is acceptable to you though; you know where the door is. Go ahead and use it - this is not the place for attitudes like that, being brandished in the manner that you have. If you feel you are unable to do this, or continue along similar lines to your current provocations, we reserve the right to show you the door - think of it as being similar to a bouncer in a club.
 
If you feel like these are not the actions of 
then please file a report in the respective place. But perhaps question the reason for which you are being treated in such a way first.
