News/Announcements / Re: dMw Council & Important LA...
Last post by Liberator - June 09, 2025, 11:34:23 AMI remember, a long time ago, you were looking at emigrating to Australia and that was when there were just the two of you.
So happy to hear you have finally managed to catch your dream and more importantly you are getting as far away from us as physically possible without a rocket.
I'm assuming that "herding feral cats" was a lot of points towards your acceptance, a good transference of LAN skills.
I hope everything similarly works out for Gortex, thanks for all the poker and laughs.
Good luck to the next generation offools LAN admins as well as the grandfather ones.

News/Announcements / dMw Council & Important LAN Up...
Last post by Chaosphere - June 08, 2025, 08:56:27 PMHello all, I hope this message finds you well.
First of all, let me apologise to you all for the lack of noise out of Camp Council recently.
When Toby and I took the reins from TL and Pen we wanted to do a little spring cleaning, and ensure the Community was safely on the same track it was put upon all of those years ago. We had meetings and made plans (schemes?), and then as often happens life got in the way. A mixture of good and bad hit various members of Council, and things sort of ground to a halt.
We are still (slowly) working on tidying things up here, optimising the Discord as much as we can, and on considering the future of the Community and how we best support its continued growth. The most important bit here to us all is that this happens in a way that protects what dMw has always stood for, and that has not changed.
Again, let me (personally) apologise that things are slow. I wish I could give more time to you all. I love this place, it has meant an awful lot to me over the years. I hope that I will be able to put a bit more energy in soon, as my life is about to undergo a bit of a transformation. Despite how it may seem, this will result in a bit more free time - at least for a while. I am referring to my emigration to Australia, which happens at the end of the month. Yes, despite the time zone difference I intend to carry on with dMw in much the same capacity, at least for now.
Getting back to the wider Council and the aforementioned 'life gets in the way', I am sorry to say that Gortex has to step down from the Council role for personal reasons. The seat remains open to him should he wish to return in the future, and we all thank him for stepping up to help in the first place.
Moving on to an update around the LANs, the recent event marked Gortex and my last as admins, with GhostMjr having stepped down the one before. As I said at the event, it has been an absolute pleasure to run the LANs with these two over the last few years, and something I will miss dearly. I want to thank them both again for their help, support, and perhaps above all else, tolerance of my BS. We would all like to thank everyone who has supported the events and made them what they are.
For future events, I want to thank uni for stepping up to help with the server admin side of things. He took charge of the servers at the April LAN and knocked it out of the park. I have no doubt he will continue to do so going forwards.
As for the other LAN roles, we are going to open this up to attendees at each event for now. Council will continue to help with the nuts and bolts organisation, but we will invite anyone present to have a go at roles such as the 'LAN MC' and other key on the day roles as required. That said, if anyone is keen to get involved in a more permanent role going forwards, don't hesitate to get in touch with Toby or myself. We are happy to support the events and those going in whatever way we can.
And to finish on that note, despite the distance, I look forward to seeing you guys and gals at a LAN again soon. I won't be able to make the Autumn LAN this year, but I will be aiming to come along to the 2026 Spring LAN.
Cheers all,
Chaos, on behalf of dMw Council.

News/Announcements / dMw LAN News
Last post by Chaosphere - June 08, 2025, 08:30:27 PMHello all,
We would like to share with you an email from Amy, who many of you will know well from our time at the LANs.
"Hi guys,
It's with sadness that I am letting you know that as of today I will no longer be working at the Oliver Cromwell.
As you all know it has been difficult working here of late. And as much as I love my job and love working here, I no longer feel like I can work here.
Not to worry I will still pop up and see you, if you continue to stay at the OC.
Much love to all.
Amy the drunken receptionist."
I have replied with (what I hope counts as!) some love and thanks, as Amy has done an awful lot for us over the years and I know we have all much appreciated her support along the way.
Part of my reply is perhaps important to note -
"Despite the doom and gloom, I suspect that for as long as we are able to we will keep coming back, so no doubt we will all look forward to seeing you there at the LANs!"
For now the LANs will continue as planned, but with a recent change of ownership at the Oliver Cromwell, we are in turbulent waters.
We will do our best to keep you updated if we hear any news, good or bad. For now, it remains business as usual.
Cheers,
dMw Council.
