Heya everyone, as said in the community update thread. We plan on hosting way more forum games for the community, and hopefully you will too! To help organize everything better with the influx of posts, we've introduced the 'Forum Game' prefix to every thread posted in here. Which should shorten the titles of the thread and focus on what matters, and that is its content. The staff discussed that the universal timezone for each forum game hosted will be CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time). As most of the clan is based in this area, or is from Europe. We understand that we have members from other time-zones but please when posting put the CET/CEST time in the title, and your own or any other time zone in the thread post, if you need help converting time-zones check this out!
The poll above is just so we can create a better understanding of how much does thread title content needed to be moderated for the threads posted in this sub-forum to be relevant and understanding for you.

If you have any questions or suggestions, post here.

Greetings to all warhaveners, the staff wants to update everyone on the current happenings and future plans which will drive the community forward! A lot of important things happened and will happen, so I urge everyone to take a moment to read everything.

Staff changes:
Most important are the staff changes.
As most of the staff has noticed and some of you, that some of the staff members have started becoming less active, either in their admin responsibilities or in general. To counter this and help the head of this community stay on track we've had a long meeting about the future of its leading members. Most of the people that are leaving were planning on doing it in the near future as they've noticed for themselves that they aren't capable of sustaining the will and activness needed to be part of the Staff. And the rest were given precise responsibilities which we will follow in the future which should hopefully help with activity.

@Ske (Purged), our dear Ske has been with us for a very long time and is one of the biggest reasons why WH is even a thing. Sad to see him go, farewell old friend, we'll be waiting for your return.
@TeaCup (Purged), the clans scotsman, he'll still be with us from time to time on TS. But he has a much bigger responsibility than WH as of a few weeks ago. Congratz again dude.
@Harald (Purged), we finally let him free, after all the months we kept him captive our favorite norwegian and youtuber is a free bird. You better still come on TS!

Now that we got the sad part out of the way, the responsibilities for each current staff and what it means.
@Hawk (Tech), already was one, but yeah I keep the server/website/teamspeak/bots/discord running and updating them alongside
@Ironside (Roleplay manager, Global mod) which will also continue being the Roleplayer Manager.
@Arlt (Lead Community Manager), main guy that's suppose to see to it that the forums and VOIPs see activity with threads, forum games, tournaments, and to lead our community managers: @RedPandaLT @LordOfDead @ZeroFlotsie @ponasozis @Brad @Julian
@Dragon (Community Voice, we'll make a better name probably in the future), everyone knows him and everyone likes him might as well give him the role he deserves, which will represent the community and voice their concerns for him to pass on to the staff.
@Spampolice (Advisor), always been a part of the community and always will be, but we'd like to release him from responsibility of the staff mantle, and let him be what he always was the voice of (very often very loud) reason.

Transparency:
Opening the #staff-chat on our Discord to our active members, also known as @Loyalists. I think some of the transparency to the things discussed should be given to the active members of our community so we can easier steer the ship to its most wanted waters. You'll be able to view and react, even discuss if need be of the current happenings and see how staff does their jobs. A bit different from Diplos system, we will be giving out the role to the people that the staff deems worthy for their activity or contribution and loyalty to the community.

Forums update:
We are planning on a major overhaul of the main home-page of the forums and adding/updating ratings, trophies, discord integration and the calendar. The calendar will be the central add-on that the home page will spin around as we agreed that future events/forum games are of the most importance to its community.

Twitch/YT:
Introducing the communities Twitch and Youtube channel which will be given to staff and trusted members to post and stream content for everyone. Keep a lookout for the upcoming thread!

Other:

• Quarterly opinion polls about the current, general issues and community report, starting from this month, thread soon (tm).
• Monthly Map Making Contest (MMMC, 3100, I just made this up xd the name I mean), as the name suggests monthly map making with well-known map makers as judges. Each month will be different theme, and have more than just your basic terraining event. More info in the upcoming month, look out for @RedPandaLT @Arlt threads
• Come back of the Grand Tournaments, more prizes and more diverse games! Wait for January.
• Forum game time standardization, poll will be up soon in Forum Games.

12 Days of Warhaven Xmas Gaming. More info will be posted on 12th of January, keep an eye out. x)

That's all folks! For now, for any questions, suggestions ideas report to @Dragon @Arlt or myself!
