🌟🏆 Presenting the 2026 Community MVP Awards 🏆🌟 We’re so excited to celebrate the return of the Community MVP Award for its third year! This award honours players across all our games who represent the very best of our community: those who generously share their time, energy, and passion to make our games brighter and more welcoming for everyone. We can’t wait to celebrate our 2026 Community MVP with some special words from [ATA]Jordan! Hippy "Hippy has been a consistent presence in the community since the early days, over the years there will be a history of ups and downs. We are not trying to pick sides and will recognize positive and helpful players that have contributed to the community over the years from both (all) sides of the war. For this year, we’d like to recognize Hippy for his efforts in helping the community through his feedback and help with any tasks or requests me and the dev team has come up with. Even with the contentions around the war and botting, he tries to keep his feedback towards the big picture, with a solution mindset. Always trying to share ideas and feedback that can be the biggest ‘win’ for the community as a whole. Whenever we have testing for new updates or features, he always goes above and beyond with his time and efforts to help our dev team work through things." FAQ How did we select this year's MVP?🥇 Here are the key factors we considered during the selection process: ☆ Generally provided positive interactions on the forums/Discord. They are seen as being helpful to both new and older players (providing a positive community feel wherever they go). ☆ Organized community contests and other player-ran events ☆ Shared helpful forum posts / FAQs ☆ Was specifically helpful to one of our teams in bug-crushing, detailed feedback providing, and giving us a heads up on loopholes (aka going above and beyond in being helpful to our teams when working through certain issues) ☆ Has been historically and consistently helpful within the community What do you get as an MVP? 🎁 In addition to well-deserved bragging rights, and being called out on ATA Day through the forums and Discord, we've sent them a swag bag and custom MVP t-shirt! To the many others who also deserve recognition: thank you for joining us on this journey and helping shape KAW into what it is today! We see and deeply value the time, passion, and positivity you bring to our community and we see all that passion through the forums, all over Discord and in our game, of course! As this next year passes, we’ll continue finding new and exciting ways to connect with all of you, celebrate your contributions, and show some well-deserved love to those who make KAW a brighter place for everyone! Another Special Shoutout 💛 A Huge Thank You to Our Moderators! 💛 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our KAW Mods We would like to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation to all of our Moderators for your continued dedication and support. Veni-Vidi_MaCHiNE Smiles_Tribute Avatar Michael I_Nymeria_l Wabbsy BlackEagle619 Thrawn Notme113 As moderators, you play an incredibly important role in our community. You are often the first point of contact for players who need assistance, while also helping ensure that our policies and standards are upheld across the chat. Your presence helps create a community that is safe, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone. Your contribution, however, goes far beyond day-to-day moderation. The issues you bring to our attention, the feedback you provide, and the concerns you raise on behalf of the community are invaluable to our team. Your willingness to speak up and share what you are seeing within the community helps us better understand our players and identify areas where we can improve. We are especially grateful for the time, patience, and diligence you dedicate to this role. Moderation is not always an easy responsibility, and much of the work you do happens quietly behind the scenes. Nevertheless, your efforts have a meaningful impact. Thank you for the care you put into supporting our players, for helping us maintain a positive environment, and for being a trusted bridge between our team and the community. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated group of Moderators supporting our community. Thank you for all that you do. :green_heart: We want to take a moment to give a heartfelt thank you to all of our Junior Moderators, Moderators, and Senior Moderators for everything you do for our community! –[ATA]Sleep & the ATA Team
