If you aren’t familiar the WeeWar Players Association , it was established as a community to promote fair and honorable play on WeeWar. I am not a member, and that’s not meant to be a judgement call, it’s just that I was never interested in it personally. It didn’t help that the first time I ever heard of it was when one of it’s members spammed every game I was playing when they determined a game was over and assumed I was lying when I said I was finished for the night and then didn’t click logout (ironically they are one of highest ranked WWPA members ). Since that time I have played many WWPA members and just like any group they have a few bad apples but are great for the most part.
The main features of the WWPA are it’s "Greylist " of people who have violated the WWPA rules of fair play and it’s certification of members. With the replay feature removed from the game, greylist accusations have become much harder to verify, making it much less useful. I’m also sure that if you scan that list you’ll see people that you would be happy to play again and know to be good and honorable players – can you ever get delisted? The greylist, in it’s current form and circumstances, is broken.
The certification process is still of some value, but if you take a look at the list there are some big names missing and judging by the number of uncertified members, it doesn’t look like people are spending a lot of time updating it. I think most players just trust each other by default – WeeWar is a great community and you’re unlikely to get burned if the player you’re playing has some players that ‘prefer them’ and have played more than a handful of games.
Please tell me your opinions: with no replay, no way to earn a removal from the greylist, and few updates to the certification list – does the WWPA still have a role to play in WeeWar? If so, what is it?
