What happened to the AoA

[ninjaduck]

I left...and I came back, and AoA is gone according to several people. Anyone care to explain?

[dudetus]

Nope AoA is still here but the whole old AoA got disbanded and re-constructed.

Yup. All original AoA's were wiped from the guild and group and its gradually growing again. AoA needed a "restart" according to Airrie.

It's going on hard times, all i'll say.

Doesn't seem like much of a "restart". I think the old group was more active.

Word on the street is now... they are Party Planners

[StompArtist]

Where is the party at?

Sadly you weren't invited it seems. (must be your taste in music)

Yes.. We do plan parties as well as help newbies. The parties usually have a quiz of some sort or "trivia", and possibly some giveaways

They had some contests, I think. They don't hang around giving out hats anymore. Pity! I thought the hat as a "welcome wagon" gift was a great touch.

I was in the guild before the wipe. The only reason I could think for the wipe was because some original ambassadors were ticked off because they couldn't prevent the mod who took over leadership from appointing someone who was very obvious in wanting to be appointed. It was felt by many that one should be more subtle, I guess. The ticked off ambassadors somehow got under the skin of the mod who took over from the original mod who created it, so he went on vacation and came back and disbanded the Ambassadors. He also de-activated the hats that gave out gift hats. After a month of non-activity, he took new applications. Then a month or two later, he quit working for the moderator rental agency that STS uses. The torch was passed to a different mod.

I chose not to re-apply. I did not consider the action of disbandment to be something that furthered community spirit, to put it mildly. I could not understand how the devs who I thought I knew would permit it. So I can't tell you anything much about the new guild.

In the last weeks i never saw an AoA. I have the feeling that they aren't really actice anymore.

Well I obviously wasn't reading those threads. News to me! That is a little strange (to put it mildly) considering the importance STS had put on the AoA program in the past.

He deactivated the hats? Shoulda run em outta town on a rail! Can the hats be reactivated to give the AoA's a sense of purpose again?

I should have mentioned that I was not one of the people who were upset about appointing someone who was obvious about wanting to join. Politicians are subtle all the time. I'd rather see eager people doing it.

The hats went away and they were thinking of another sort of Ambassador vanity. There was a contest, but the winning idea got turned into the angelic gear. The winning idea was to have Ambassador in big winged outfits (so you could see them easily) and they would give out little wings. But it's way cooler that it became the angelic gear!!!

Fluff might be kidding, but I really did think the hats were fun! It made people want to be ambassadors, and made them want to hang out in FH once they were appointed, and it opened the door for shy people to ask questions.

I do not think a AoA mod is there I haven't seen any new posts about anything period for AoA
