    Dear members of Ahoy World,
     
    It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of @Mikael on Friday July 15.
    He was involved in an motorcycle accident and succumbed to his injuries.
     
    I know Mikael was a big part of you community and he often talked about how much enjoyed the ARMA sessions he had with you all.
     
    I will come back with more information about the funeral arrangements when I get them.
     
    **Update
    The funeral will be held July 26.
    There has also been created a memorial page for Mikael LINK (page is in Norwegian). Here you can light a candle and leave your name ( Tenn et lys ) or write some words in his memory ( Skriv et minneord ) 
     
    And thank you all for your kinds words, it is really appreciate. He will truly be missed by all those who were lucky enough to know him  ❤️ 
  2. Thanks

    As we all know currently in Ukraine there is a horrific humanitarian crisis unfolding. Here at Ahoyworld we would like to show our support to the people of Ukraine and do what we can with our community to help those in need. As such we have opened up a donation goal on our forums found here. All donations will go to UKRAINE CRISIS | International Committee of the Red Cross (icrc.org). In addition to all donations raised on the forums Ahoyworld is going to match all funds up to £750 and we will also cover all costs so that all of the money donated is going to help.

    I cannot reiterate enough this started way way before the actual admin report was filed. Weeks if not even months, the three hours of work is really not the issue. Had it been caught at the very start, maybe you would have faced an entirely different kind of attitude, you might have been able to speak and converse knowing you had the trust of your admins. Instead the situation was left to grow out of control. 
     
    I am very sorry to see a large portion of staff driven to the point of resigning out of frustration. It is a rotten feeling. Now I've spent more than enough time on this. Call me a witch hunter, tell me I'm trying to intentionally under mine the spirit of Ahoy and tell of every "pillar of the community" off. It should be a fair warning to anyone who aspires to become staff on Ahoy or currently holds a position..

    Players in question should have considered stepping down for the time playing on another community. 

    Core staff could have discussed the situation at the start, maybe offered a "leave of absence" or just about anything but what actually happened.

    Communication should have happened to all staff regarding the situation at the very start. Maybe a consensus could have been reached on how to proceed.

    I'm just saying just about anything could have been better than what happened.

    ...now I am off... I need to rest.

    I really don't know how to respond to this tantrum.

    You never shared any of your reasoning or even how you reached your conclusions. I saw very little transparency and a lot of trying to ignore the problem. I'm glad if you have released a final report by now, although it is way way too late. 
     
    Did you imagine this was every only privy to Core Staff only? I can understand why Norris left if this is the tone you use when communication within Core Staff.
     
    I do not have a victim complex, I am following what I believe is true and morally right. I believe one of the corner stones of Ahoy World was for the longest of times that the rules apply to all. I guess if believing that is undermining the application of Ahoyworlds principles then I am guilty.
     
    My decision to step down was not taken lightly nor was it easy. It was taken due to the utter lack of proper communication from core staff. Quite frankly in the end I do get my way, since I do not want to be an administrator in an environment like this.

    I had to step down. All the information I have had access to indicates very strongly that things were and are not ok, rules have in fact been broken by staff. I cannot pass Judgement on people for say simply sharing an discord link on EU1 if AWE staff are allowed to advertise and recruit for another communitiy.
     
    It is a shame that stepping down was the only option left to many admins since discussing the issue with core staff became impossible. Even core staff were divided so badly that Norris just left.
     
    At this point I believe everything is said and done for my part, my decision was not hasty, I researched a lot, I have discussed the situation with many people, I have also had access to the admin report submitted for quite some time now. The same report was shared with me from more than one source and I consider these sources trust worthy. The situation is worse than it has been for a long time on Ahoy. I hope @Minipily is right, I hope Ahoy can rise from the ashes yet again. Though sadly I think it becomes a little harder every time. It takes a lot of work and very special leader ship and I am not quite sure we have what it takes right now.

    In-spite off all of this I look fondly back at my time as staff on Ahoy World. It's been an incredible journey filled with a lot of action, fun and friendship. There has obviously been a few bumps along the way but all in all a most excellent experience. Thank you everyone.

    The following is a statement about the current affairs within AW, and the opportunity to provide, an open, constructive platform raising issues currently present within AW. Whilst I understand the decision to lock the other thread due to fears of exacerbating the situation, AW is a community ran by the players, and one that provides complete transparency and a space to openly discuss differing opinions. This is the way Mark T originally set out to run the community, and one that I followed up on myself, and therefore I ask for Core Staff to respect the right to openly discuss, without having to delve into private discussion. The following replies to this thread (If I get any) will be from members who wholly care about AW, and therefore CS should see this thread as a foundation to build on, and to read the criticisms provided and use it as an opportunity to shape the future of Ahoyworld.
     
     In an ideal world, members of the community can openly play within other communities, and there should be no repercussion in doing so. Perhaps, they seeked out other communities due a lack of what AW is offering. Other players want to be in communities that have operations on a massive scale, with a playerbase that provides that. Some people want operations that are more tuned to the milsim aspect, and again I see no issue in that. People have different wants and needs, and therefore they can seek out other communities if they cannot find that here at AW.
     
    The issue comes when it is from a community that openly incentivises and rewards players for recruiting within their own, and other communities. In this, they create a discourse and divide in other communities, and as a result gain a healthy boost within their own playerbase, without any repercussions or remorse about the divide they create in other communities. And we see this clearly now, said community has managed to create an argument within Core Staff about how the situation should be handled, as such this has then leaked down into the staff team, creating further arguments, and ultimately leading to the loss of some of the most senior staff, setting AW back again into a dire state that we found ourselves in not too long ago. So, in conclusion, who got the last laugh? Ahoyworld, or the other community that managed to create such a discourse within the highest ranks of staff, that ultimately, they benefitted themselves a lot more than it benefitted us.
     
    I love Ahoyworld, but once again there are blaring issues that will lead once again to the downfall of the community. The first comes from the lack of unity within Core Staff, and the lack of swift action to reduce the impact created. If CS were united from the start, do you really think this many staff would of left, or if the member of CS who stepped down was so wrong, why did half the staff team leave with him?  While I understand there were guidelines to follow in how a report should be handled, the lack of input from the other members of staff and the wider community in general, made the final decision seem like it benefitted the bias of CS rather than what the community themselves felt was the right decision to make. Ahoyworld is not, and will never be a monocracy, the lack of transparency and willingness to hold open, public discussion has once again led to the downfall of the community.
     
    And then after all that, leaves the AW we have today. Many others and I involved have spent the last however many years building up a solid, dedicated playerbase once again after AWE had originally fell apart. It was a long, gruesome process, and it was a struggle finding new players as the ARMA community is extremely aged, and therefore there is not a constant flow of new players or talent anymore. This is a concern, because it means that rebuilding the staff team is a hefty feat, as there isn’t a flow of fresh blood to promote, but more importantly, it means you’re struggling now to get the large scale, combined operations that AW has always loved, with the 25-30+ people that we all desire. It’s evident from Sieges and many other people’s operations, where he now has to scale his operations down to accommodate for the lack of players, rather than creating these massive, expansive operations. I just wonder, how many “rebuilds” will it take for Ahoyworld to finally flourish or is it’s “golden era” limited to the memories some of the more senior members have about the past of the community.
     
    To conclude, I want this thread to be a civilised, open platform for Ahoyworld. Respect the privacy of others, and more importantly keep it constructive and make it somewhere where we can state our desires for the community moving forward, what it is doing wrong currently, and how it can be improved in the future. Staff have every right to remove abusive comments and directed hate, so I ask you to keep it civil and behaved.

    Hello @Dom_01,
     
    In light of your past record of numerous warnings kicks and 4 previous bans, all due to trolling, wasting assets and ignoring staff makes me doubt that this is a simple miss-click. The repetitive pattern of your bans are a strong indication of you not changing your behaviour, despite quite a few chances and you probably would not in the future either. 
     
    BAN APPEAL UNSUCCESSFUL.

    Lindi reacted to Nibbs in Prairie Fire I&A   
    Firstly, I'm loving the Prairie fire, I&A, thanks so much for making it for us.
    I'm not sure if the current utilisation you guys see on it, is enough for you to want to invest much time into it currently, but thought I'd make a suggestion.

    Problem 1:
    The F4C Phantom requires (Skill + a good server ping + the server to decide to play nice + luck) to land on the carrier, people have been complaining they trap the wire, but the plane doesn't decelerate fast enough

    Problem 2:
    The FSG gunner needs to spend an extremely large amount of time driving all the backroads (likely in the slow ammo truck) to be able to set up in range (4km max) of a AO. Which is extremely frustrating, when you know on top of all that work, you still need someone to request mortar support for you to be able to be put to work. This is especially problematic at night when you're the most crucial support asset for providing illumination
     
    Proposed solution:
    Move the Hueys to spawn at the main base  (near Lac My)
    Remove the carrier, and turn Maxwell field into the spawn point for CAS assets
    Add a M101 105mm Howitzer and Ammunition container near the airstrip, but just outside of base protection range of the support base

    Lindi got a reaction from Schubz in CAS change   
    I like the idea of readily usable CAS, since it was historically widely used in the Vietnam conflict. Conserving the team work aspect of calling in the CAS like we do on normal I&A3 as well.

    Perhaps some sort of implementation, like your suggestion, could work depending on how much coding and black magic is involved.
