Dave, I understand your position and the frustration over what happened, but I hope you'll reconsider. While Lion made a poor decision years ago, I believe the community is better with him than without. It's not worth dwelling indefinitely on a single, admittedly stupid mistake—especially one made so long ago. I don't know exactly what was lost on Discord, but I find it hard to believe any of the content was so vital that it warrants a permanent ban. And with all due respect, if it was truly vital, Discord might not have been the best place to store it.
I recall you mentioning a background in criminal justice buried in the forums of that other thread. Given that, I imagine you'd agree that while some actions can't be undone, that doesn't mean a person is beyond redemption. What matters is whether they're willing to make things right and contribute positively going forward. From what I've seen, Lion was one of the few who actively supported others, helped newcomers, and added real value to the community. I genuinely believe his return would have a more positive impact than the status quo.
Dave, I believe that if you do care for Atwar, a good way to have the community stay healthy is to have people like Lion be a part of it.

It might even get the more noisy people to stop spamming you to unban truly troublesome people for maybe an afternoon

He was always kind and is the only banned player that can justifiably be unbanned. He was kind enough to show me a ton of tricks in atwar when I was still learning, and overall, he was a great person to play scens with every time I interacted with him. I don't know the full drama other than him deleting a Discord server, but I don't think a permanent ban is justified. It's genuinely been years, and he's almost certainly the type to not be a repeat offender or toxic.
Lion is likely the only player the scenario community cares about.
PS: Don't ban me, I don't care about comp players drama, or really atwar forums in general.
Lion apologized which I appreciated, but that's not enough. He needs to make us whole. I said he could come back if he restored the content he deleted from Discord. Of course that's impossible since there was no backup (and he should have thought about this before he did it!)
So here we are, he apologized but we still haven't been made whole. Unless he can think of some other way to compensate us for the damage he caused, he's never coming back.
I would just give up hope of ever seeing your friend Lion on here again.

Okay, I've let this go on long enough.
There is apparently an alternate reality existing within the AW community built on lies and misunderstandings, and I'm blaming Waffel for spreading it. It's predictable, every time I tell him "here are the facts, X, Y, and Z", he twists it to mean the opposite and throws it back with a bunch of lies and other bullshit. atWar has enough problems already, we really don't need a guy like that "poisoning the well" deliberately. I'm pretty sure he's doing it just for the sake of the drama. He cannot possibly be serious or believe his own BS.
So I've gone ahead and deleted and device-banned Waffel's alt. Since his main acc had an existing ban in place, he should not have been here posting on an alt, and I should not have allowed him to do it for so long. I'm going to follow AW policy on this one moving forward.
For those of you who may believe Waffel's warped reality and/or don't like what I'm doing, I invite you to delete your accounts yourselves. Here's how to do it:
1) go to your user profile, click Edit Profile:
2) scroll to the bottom and click "Delete Account":
If anyone else wants to actually discuss this topic with me please feel free to do so -- as long as you keep it respectful and factual you can disagree with me all you want. I don't ban people over differences of opinion. I will however ban rude/disrespectful behavior, and especially any significant efforts to lie to the AW community as was the case here.

Despite me not agreeing with you on many facts, I would never delete my account because of an issue like this, doesnt matter how active or inactive i am. I love atWar and its community and its the reason some of us are angry (and rude aswell) but that is because we care about the game

I don't know why it would be necessary, but I for one, would wholeheartedly support trading IHY for Lion.

Imagine if you had 30 players instead of 11, maybe you could fill the lobby with trusted players as we always did. I must be briliant to come up with this. Lol
Or possibly an AI (bots).
Which Dave said himself a couple of weeks ago that he might work on - despite him ignoring this thought of mine twice already.
I guess I'm also up there with Einstein and you.
This isn't your thought lol; the entire world is foaming at the mouth for practical uses of ai. Programming an ai bot would be very time consuming and require an extensive knowledge of machine learning. Integrating it into this spaghetti code would be a nightmare.
Idk why I even added that, the important part is:
THERE IS NO SATISFACTION IN BEATING A BOT….AT ALL
the only practical use I could see is a training simulator or a single player mode for those who wish.
All this game has, is its community. A cold, sterilized, bot does nothing for it. The majority of players are not going to log on, to play against a fucking ai bot.
The only part i agree with is 'would be very time consuming'. I never denied that, I always emphasize that it's enormous effort compared to the fact that we have the tutorial coming soon for years.
But have you ever played a strategy game other than atwar?
I'll just leave this here...
