Congratulations to PleaseMe who has been chosen as the new leader of the Game Meta Team!
The Game Meta Team creates, tests, and refines ideas which promote new and interesting kinds of gameplay on atWar. This includes (but is not limited to) creating new strategies, new upgrades, new units, refining existing strategies/upgrades/units, rule changes, and any other new ideas that can be implemented related to the gameplay of atWar. The team consists of several volunteers who assist with brainstorming and testing out these ideas, until they are ultimately ready to release into the game.
I'm excited to start working with PleaseMe in this area. He is someone who understands the game very well and has a deep desire to see it succeed.
This change will really help streamline things for future updates -- as you may recall, we made our goal to release updates every season (i.e. every 3 months), but we've had difficulty keeping up with that over the last year. Additionally with Eagle being inactive (I hope he's okay...), and therefore no clear leader of the team, communications have been difficult. I personally have done a terrible job keeping up with the Game Meta guys, so I accept the responsibility for that. But thankfully I have no doubt PleaseMe will get us organized again in that department.
