It's been suggested I should do an AMA, like Amok & Ivan used to do. I thought "sure, why not", so here we are!
As the title says, feel free to ask anything, including (or especially) non-game related stuff.
Ready.... go!
(Completed) Dave here, ask me anything

I'm not sure what you're asking... the HTML5 map/scenario editor has been available since Amok/Ivan's time, long before me.
You'll have to wait and see

Your administration has encouraged people to join atWar, which is highly detrimental to their social and physical well-being. Do you have any compassion for the kids who play your game?

Hi, I appreciate what you've done for this game, but I have a few concerns. I'm mostly concerned about the way your administration has treated minorities. The smallest minority on Earth is the individual, and those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. By nature, man should be free to express himself. As a man of unpopular opinion, I really value this ancient tradition. Will your administration respect all types of expression, and faciltate an environment where people like me can engage with others in meaningful dialogue? In particular, will you allow Unleashed to speak his mind? Like myself, he's a man of unpopular opinion, and I'd appreciate if your administration would go out on a limb and listen to what he has to say, even if it is unpopular. Thank you.

Is it not possible that photons actually have mass, and that it is just so small that it lies within the margin of error of our best sensors? This would in turn imply that the speed of light is not truly c, but in reality something a little less than c.

Who is your favorite singer/band? What are the plans for AW? Do you love Pavle?  What is your annual income  ?P.S. I have information about Dave's alt account. Will be hosting auction for it, message if interested. You will need to attach your bank balance as proof of having enough money for auction.

In general the things I'm focusing on are: 1) Paid ads -- We've been testing facebook ads, and banner ads on various other sites over the past year. From these tests I've been making changes to try and improve our conversion rate, and to make the ad spend somewhat more justifiable. For example there is now a completely separate user sign up process for people who click our ads. Basically you click our ad, it takes you to a special landing page where you pick a username, and then immediately you're taken into the tutorial game. This has improved our conversion rate significantly, but still it could be better. That's why we're currently working on revamping the tutorial itself. We need to make the game seem less overwhelming right off the bat, and make things more appealing for new users to stay around. 2) Email marketing -- this will be starting up soon. We have a huge database of users that we aren't tapping into yet, and it will cost basically nothing to send some emails and try to get some old and/or inactive users back. Just a few days ago I purged over 200k obvious spam accounts from our database, and I hope to start sending emails to the cleaned up list in the next week or two. 3) Influencer marketing -- I don't want to reveal too much yet but I'm working on a deal which I hope will bring a lot of traffic. (It will also cost a lot of money...) 4) This is somewhat later down the road, but once our mobile version launches, that will open up a whole new avenue for people to find out about us.

.htaccess files are specific to Apache, and our website doesn't run on Apache Anyway we certainly could do "pretty URL" rewrites, but it's not a high priority. (Unless Superhero, our resident SEO guru, tells me to do so...)

Max Raabe & Palast Orchester I'm fortunate enough to have seen them in Germany (twice), and I see them whenever they come to the U.S. on tour.
- Continuing to work on advertising/marketing (see my answer to DFU's question above) - Mobile version - Desktop and/or Steam version (but probably won't even think about his until after the mobile app is launched) - Completely rewriting the legacy atWar code... one bit at a time - About a billion little changes and fixes (my list is enormous...)
Yes of course, who doesn't? ❤️ #nohomo
Not as much as I'd like.

I feel like it would be cool if you could buy certain things with reputations, or if they were at least not useless, but I understand that would be hard to implement. But I would suggest like a calling card thing (from COD) that you could attach to your name, simply for fun, Cheers

Honestly don't even know who they are this year, sorry. I don't really pay attention to the Nobel prizes anymore... considering some of the people they've awarded "Peace" prizes to, I don't take any of it seriously.
