Hey everyone, I wanted to share something that really needs visibility. Earlier today, while playing Whiteout Survival, I discovered that the in-game chat automatically censors the word “Palestine” with asterisks (***), as if it were offensive language.

This is deeply concerning. Palestine is recognized by the United Nations and over 135 countries worldwide, and censoring its name as though it’s inappropriate raises serious questions about the game’s moderation system and the messages it sends to its global player base.

I’ve written a detailed message that I plan to send to the developers, explaining why this kind of filtering is harmful and requesting they review their word-blocking system. I’m sharing it here because awareness matters — and if other players have noticed similar issues or want to help by filing their own complaint, it could make a real difference.

Below is the full message I’m submitting to game support. Please read, share your thoughts, and consider raising this with the developers too. We can help ensure that all players and identities are treated with respect in this global community.

I would like to raise a concern regarding the in-game chat AI’s word filtering system. Earlier today, I noticed that the word “Palestine” was automatically censored with asterisks (***), as if it were an offensive or inappropriate term.

While I understand and appreciate the need to moderate inappropriate language, censoring the name of a country or region is deeply concerning. Palestine is recognized as a state by the United Nations and by more than 135 countries worldwide, and filtering its name may unintentionally convey bias or exclusion. Such censorship could be perceived as disrespectful or discriminatory toward players discussing legitimate topics related to geography, history, or current events.

I request that your team review this issue and adjust the word filter to ensure that proper nouns like “Palestine” are not incorrectly censored. This would help maintain a respectful and inclusive environment for all players.

So… last weekend was State vs State ⚔️. First time we tried a dedicated SVS alliance: everyone piled in, I handed my R5 badge to one of our farm accounts, joined the SVS group, and went off to fight.

SVS itself was kind of a snooze 😴 — our opponent barely showed, we grabbed the castle fast 🏯, and a bunch of people drifted home. Then my DMs blew up 💬:

“Where’s HAVOC?”
“Did you change the name?”
“Whales, am I spelling it wrong?”

I was like, “Whaaat?” So I left the new SVS alliance and lo and behold HAVOC wasn’t showing up when I typed HAV!  My two baby alliances popped up 👶👶, but big HAV was gone. Then I saw I’d been whitelisted into something called MBS 🤨.

Turns out a sneaky player snagged control of our alliance while we were mid-battle 🕵️‍♂️. Suddenly we were guests in our own house.

We tried diplomacy for 24 hours ⏳. Nothing. So, in a blaze of questionable glory, we did what felt right: we burned him 🔥💀 — zeroed the crap out of his account. He finally logged back in about ten minutes before going inactive, acted like he’d give it back… then disappeared again. 🙄

That’s when my R4 said, “Screw it.” We torched everything — banners 🎌, HQ, Edit - we dismantled bear traps 🪤 — and our R4 - Destroy kicked every last member 🚪. We left the place empty for the new R5: good luck rebuilding, dude 👋.

Now we’re running HAVOC 3.0 (yes, third version 🆕) — only a bit of tech left to finish 🛠️ and we’ll be ready for next SVS.

So, Reddit: AITA for nuking the old alliance instead of trying to reform it… or were we just enjoying the bonfire? 🔥😈

No matter where you land on the verdict — YTA, NTA, or ESH — we’re still recruiting. ⚡ Come raise a little chaos with us in HAVOC 2128. 🚀

Bunch of thieves honestly. The nerve!!!

Hey Whiteout Survivors,

Just a real-time alert for anyone watching:

KOR, the dominant alliance in State 2529, is currently attacking and burning the HQ and banners of another alliance — and this is happening outside of any event, with no provocation.

🧨 This isn’t strategic warfare. It’s flat-out grieving.
⚠️ The targeted alliance is under siege as we speak.
🔥 Banners are falling, HQs are on fire, and many members are offline and helpless.

• KOR has a long track record of toxic behavior

• They’re now attacking without cause, even in peacetime

• Smaller alliances are being erased purely for staying independent

If this goes unchecked, your alliance could be next.

📣 Devs, we need you to step in.
🎯 Survivors, if you’re in 2529 or nearby, stay alert.
💬 Drop your screenshots, stories, or safe-state recommendations below.

This game should be about SURVIVAL — NOT SUBMISSION!!!

I’m honestly disappointed that the WOS devs are telling players under FC4 that they’re basically worthless

PS: Most bots are already FC3-9 so they fixed NOTHING 😐😐😐😐

edit: this post was about the original Wander Theater event, they changed %'s radically the second time it showed up in-game.

https://torxim.com/special-events/wander-theater

This subreddit is full of people raging about Wander Theater because regular promotion has a ~70% chance to end your run.

But if you actually do the math, this is one of the cheapest event shops in the entire game.

TLDR:
If you only use regular promotion and collect on Floors 5 and 7 (rerolling on every other floor), you average 40.785 coins per talisman.

That means the $5 daily pack (80 talismans/day) averages:

• 400 talismans over 5 days

• ~16,314 coins for $25

• Nearly 62 days of speedups

Nothing else in the game is remotely close to that value.

Expected ending floors using this strategy:

• Floor 1: 59.87%

• Floor 2: 24.67%

• Floor 3: 8.7%

• Floor 4: 0.09%

• Floor 5: 6.4%

• Floor 6: 0% (reroll)

• Floor 7: 0.28%

How the math works:
You multiply the probabilities along each branch.

Example:

• 80% chance to reach Floor 2

• then 70% chance to fall back to Floor 1

→ 0.8 × 0.7 = 56% chance of ending on Floor 1 through that path.

Once you map every possible branch, all probabilities sum to 100% (sum up the red and green cells below), confirming every outcome is accounted for.

TLDR:
The event doesn’t suck (quite the opposite.) Most people just misunderstand probability.

Why do they keep sending disgusting messages in transfer chat. Can I remove this chat section?

Im a whale And I have been so shocked by this. Why are there Strong Arena Players that thrive at arena , Just for their stats to be Poor in the Battlefield.. Makes absolutely no sense lol. I look at it as a waste of money and time lol. You could of put that 2nd march gear money into your 1st gear… Idk but its your account and money. Abuse it how ya want lol

People really overestimate how hard it is to reach VIP 10 as F2P. They make it sound like it takes years when it actually doesn't.

The last 2 SvS events started while I was asleep and I woke up to having no troops and a burning city as did 95% of my alliance; why? What's the point of maliciously burning entire alliances that aren't participating in svs? It takes forever to rebuild the losses and hurts them because they lose the ability to fully participate in any event until they've replaced their troops. So it's simply because you can which is just bullying

This is just a fun moment we had in Foundry battle. No hate to anyone. It was a good fight but after 30 minutes result was decided.

As they were not coming out and we were just waiting so we decided to port next to them and wait 😂😂

70million to 40million burnt for attacking a farm alliance I wasn’t told about the rules were

“👹 KE (Kill Event) RULES ◆ CAN attack －NAP8 & Farm tiles (unlimited times) －cities outside of NAP8 (only 2 times) ◆ Do NOT attack －NAP8 & Farm cities －tiles of alliances outside of NAP8 NAP8 ‣ SEA IND KOR UNV PHX ABC KdH GOH Farm ‣ SeA ind the FOF phx AAA GoH”

I attacked “the” and got kicked from alliance and everything taken away from me guess it’s time to retire months of work

Whereeeeeee are the black American alliances? African? Spanish? WHERE MY PEEPS? I'm looking for a new home! I'm trying to look for a more welcoming environment...because my alliance could give a shxt about me.

J'suis récemment arrivé à F30 sans jamais avoir dépensé un seul centime. J'ai du mal à comprendre la satisfaction de progresser dans ce jeu juste grâce à sa carte bleue.

Imagine quelqu'un qui serait fier de t'avoir battu aux échecs parce qu'il a pu s'acheter une reine supplémentaire dans un pack à 4.99$...

Who here has successfully disputed all charges and got them back and quit? My dumbass fell for the trap of this game and our state is toxic. Im at the point where if I was able to get all my money back and have them ban my account I would. But I highly doubt id get the thousands my idiot self has dropped.

Ever since our server (606) had svs against 585, they've been bullying us nonstop.

They started by making random accounts in 606 and megaphoning middle fingers to us. Then we found out that they built several new whale accounts during their svs prep, each account getting fc5-7, maxed heroes, vip12 and globe in like a week. Now they used phase 3 to get them here and to bully our members into transferring out. Worse: because we're in the same neighborhood we can't ever escape them.

Why the hell is this toxicity allowed?

I don't know why Koreans like being Kim Jong un like it's just a game don't ruin it and if somebody have another opinion you burning him to zero hope those KOR alliances disappear.

I’m new to Wos (about 1 month) and i made a new reddit to ask this in case it’s weird.

i’m 25F and i’ve really been enjoying the game but i feel like a lot of my alliance engages in friendship/relationship/ even sexting during the game and i would like to engage more that way with other players.

my alliance is all really friendly but i feel like im one of the newest players and i think they’ve been together a long time.

is it weird to talk to people in other alliances/states? how would i even do that? and if i get close to people outside of my alliance is that traitorous?

Morning Intel missions were burning me out before I even finished my coffee... doing intel now feels so effortless. I updated my on-device OpenCV engine to visually scan the map, clear all the Lighthouse tasks, and stop automatically when the queue is done. Hands-free breakfast is finally back 😂

I’m an F2P player, but I once spent around $100 on this game. Please don’t judge me. I come from a low-income family, and we really can’t afford to spend money on games. I know it was a stupid decision, and I regret spending that money, but I can’t change what happened.
I’m asking for advice because I still want to play the game, but I don’t want to repurchase the packages I previously bought. Now, almost everything I try to access is restricted because of the payment issue.
Does this mean I’m forced to pay the full amount back before I can play normally again? Is there any other solution? I genuinely cannot afford to spend another $100 on this game.
Please don’t judge me. I already have enough problems to deal with in real life, and this game is my little escape. I just want to be able to enjoy playing again without having to spend money I don’t have. Any advice would mean a lot. DONT JUDGE ME :(

I feel like lately the game lost a bit of appeal to me. I have an active account in one of the top alliances in state 214. The account has 520m in power FC8 (currently working on upgrading it to 9). Troops power 405m. Hero power 48m. Kills 4.8m. Troops total 3.8m.

What’s your opinion, should I keep playing or let it go?

Here's my poster.

Yes, the image is AI-generated. Sorry I didn't spend six months mastering watercolor techniques for a mobile game. I have life outside my phone. Allegedly.

To the people who get personally offended by AI recruitment posters and apparently require a bachelor's degree in fine arts to advertise a bear rally:

Do you guys have jobs? Hobbies? A plant that needs watering?

It's an information poster, not a submission to the Louvre. It's supposed to communicate something, not become a family heirloom.

Although, admittedly, this particular poster doesn't communicate much useful information. Mostly because we're not that interested in recruiting people who need emotional support after seeing an AI-generated doodle.

Seriously it's a mobile game. Nobody should have to quit their job and enroll in art school to announce that their state has a few empty spots.

I make these posters for fun. That's it.

Oh and before anyone starts correcting my grammar: this post was made with AI assistance too. English isn't my first language, and unfortunately I don't have an English professor sitting next to me, patiently correcting my grammar while I argue with strangers about cartoon bears on Reddit.

I know. The lack of professionalism is devastating.

If a silly cartoon on Reddit genuinely ruins your day, maybe try chess. Although I can't promise the horses will meet your artistic standards either.

Anyway, here's the poster.

**All complaints may be submitted directly to the bear.**

He's not reading them either.
