Greetings Jambo Airways passenger we have seen that you are all worried if you would get refunded or not, in this forum we will explain how. All your game passes and classes will get refunded. So now let's talk about the way the refund will work the day Jambo Airways gets released you will be able to join the game, and once you join the game you will see in the little pop up menu that we have our own in game currency with that currency you will be able to shop in our airport and pay your ticket (the ticket you buy will only work for that flight but will be a lot cheaper of course). And the way we will refund is is to convert the amount you paid into that currency that you can keep enjoying our flights. Hope we have helped you with this information.
Regards, Jambo Airways Team.

At the risk of sounding conceited, I will first state that the majority of the people who decided to view this thread are not intelligent nor knowledgeable, and unless you happen to think you are exceptional, I advise that you stop reading now and go about your business. This is not intended for people who merely try to convince themselves they are intelligent; most intelligent people recognize their own capacity, even if they (rightly) do not declare themselves to be smarter than everyone else. In short, you know who you are.
With that being said, I would like to posit the following hypothesis; a society or group cannot long survive without the counsel of those with a greater understanding than the rest of the members of the society or group. To put it more simply, the survival of the whole is ultimately dependent upon the intelligence of the minority. This is because the majority of people have not enhanced their minds to the point in which they understand the long-term consequences of their actions, and therefore, although most people can accomplish short-term goals, most people lack the capacity to maximize the overall well-being of society at large. Here are two examples that support this theory, the first being historical, the second being scientific:
A) The United States of America was created by a handful of intellectuals who had studied historical accounts of previous civilizations, such as the Greeks and Romans, as well as the philosophies of Enlightenment thinkers like #### ###### Montesquieu, Voltaire, and ###### ###### Although the Articles of Confederation were not successful, the Consitution they created has led to the United States being the most powerful and richest nation in history, a feat that would have been unattainable without their understanding of human nature and philosophy.
B) Species in nature that lack the characteristic of deferred gratification, such as storing food instead of consuming it immediatly before the winter, tend to die out before those who do have the capacity for deferred gratification. Similarly, individuals who save money or invest their money tend to do well financially, while those who do not save or invest money tend to be less financially stable.
This principle can also be applied to the continual existence of clans. The clan world can be divided into a variety of classes based on the primary motives each of them have for participating in clans. The classes and their descriptions can be found below, with the top class being the least populous, and the bottom class being the most populous. Please note that some people may fit into multiple categories, however the model is generally applicable to the majority.
Leaders - The leaders are those who seek administrative roles within a clan, which may include the owner of the clan itself. The primary motivations for people of this class are acquiring praise from others within the clan community, holding power over those within their own clan, being perceived as powerful by those outside of their own clan, and/or proving to themselves they are capable of creating/leading a clan.
Developers - The developers are those who create and design various materials necessary for modern clans. The primary motivations for people of this class are acquiring funds, receiving praise for their work, alleviating boredom, and/or expressing themselves as an artist.
Clanners - The clanners are those who participatein clans but do not necessarily seek administrative positions. The primary motivations for people of this class are alleviating boredom, participating in raids, finding a sense of purpose or community, and/or acheiving recognition for their combat abilities.
This system of clans has generally been successful in the short-term. A leader hires a developer to create material for the clan, establishes administrative positions for other leaders to occupy, and acquires clanners to participate in the clan. The clan persists until it either dies of inactivity or is destroyed by the incompetence/corruption of the leadership, and thus the cycle has continued. However, although each part of this system is relatively dependent upon one another, the part with the greatest risk and probability of disrupting the system in its entirety is the leader class.
The inherent craving for prestige and power within the leadership class has, up until recently, been sufficiently tempered by the need for clanners to participate. Excessive arrogance and the need for control is naturally repulsive to clanners, as their primary motivation is to participate in raids and enjoy themselves, not voluntarily become slaves. However, with the increasing frequency of the 'win-at-all-costs' model of clans, leaders have necessarily required more power over their members to advance their own agenda, which is to say the pursuit of prestige, and with this additional power, they have developed an egotism that infects and destroys the clan from within. The gradual decay of a clan is accelerated by this need for control over members, which causes clanners to lose faith in leaders and ultimately leave the clan. In short, the clan world is dying because the current clan model can no longer be sustained by the increasing demands leaders put upon the clanners. The ignorance of the leadership will inevitably lead to the total paralysis and shutdown of the military clan genre once enough matu######nners lose interest and are replaced by the younger, less competent generation.
The solution to this problem, then, is to implement a system by which the natural corruption of the leadership is counter-balanaced by the desire of the clanners to enjoy themselves and raid. The system which could lead to this balance is, as of yet, undeveloped. And it is at this point that I may finally introduce my point:
The clan world needs an intelligent group of thinkers to develop a new model for powerclans. Powerclans will kill the clan world as we know it, with superclans taking their place. For most of the members of this forum, this outcome gives no advantages.
Therefore, for those of you who recognize the rapid heat death of the clan world approaching, and are intelligent enough to develop a new system to replace the old model, I invite you to send me a message. I have created a think-tank for those with the mental capacity, and hope to present this new model to the War Clans of ROBLOX. Without the counsel of the intelligent, the clan world will die.
I for one do not wish to see this happen.

As of last month (this post is a month late,) A-SOV has been released for a year.
This post commemorates that and is primarily intended for A-SOV members to read, as this was a speech given in-game transcribed to be posted on a forum so others who missed it can read over its contents.
---
Firstly, I’d like to apologize to you. I haven’t been the leader I once was and I haven’t been as present as many would like me to be. In fact, this isn’t even our release anniversary. That was last month, on the same day. I was busy at the time and I couldn’t make it, but I still regretted that fact and I wanted to make it up to you people, so here we are. I know I could be putting a lot more effort than I currently am into this group, and I know many people want me to be the person and leader I was before; so do I.
Two years really takes a toll on you and your enthusiasm. Mine is a roller-coaster in the sense of fluctuation. I have my highs and my lows and I struggle to maintain the constant drive and desire to get things done in the group, so many responsibilities fall onto our Paramount and my right-hand-man. In this regard he has proven to be more than capable, for the most part, to get the job done properly. I am thankful for his hard work and dedication to Arenir, and we wouldn’t be the same group we are without him. So, please, let’s all take this opportunity to thank him for his efforts.
But I’m not going to sit here and be remorseful with you forever. If I regret these things, why not fix them? That’s my exact plan here; to return as your leader and to carry us into the forefront of the clan world while maintaining the values we hold so dear.
One particular thing that has been on my mind are the values we founded our clan off of. It’s been in the description since our creation: duty, continuation, and community. Those two last words are the most important; our group was founded on the principle of being long-lasting. When I made this group I did not intend for it to be a temporary thing. I wanted it to last as long as it possibly could, until it was no longer capable of survival. We have accomplished that goal thus far. We have come here, all this way, over a span of two years. We started as a small little clan, a clan that nobody expected to accomplish anything let alone finish development. However, we persevered, and we pressed on, to prove them wrong. That was our drive.
Eventually, on November 6th, 2015, we had accomplished our goal of a long-awaited release. While the development period was excessively lengthy, we had learned the values of patience, of reliance on each other, and we had built what was most important to us: a community.That’s always been the principle factor. It’s what I built the group around. I wanted to provide an enjoyable experience and a pleasant community to everyone who joins the group, and for the most part we had accomplished that goal as well. I’ve always had the concept of somebody having a rough day at school or wherever and they come home, they come online, and they look forward to talking to their friends in this group and interacting with the other members in events and just enjoying themselves. I want to provide that getaway, I want to provide that experience for members. That is the most important thing to me, ultimately, over anything else; winning wars, winning raids, where we are on a top 10 clan list, whatever.
Sometimes, however, we lost the plot. We’ve, recently, become more focused on those superficial values than our community. We spent more time winning raids and being concerned over the result of those raids than we did worrying about our members and our community. Instead of asking what we could do to improve the group or provide something fun to do, we looked for the next war target. The answer as of lately to our problems has been war, and then another war, and maybe some raids. While wars are important, and we won’t stop doing wars, I think it’s also important to dedicate time to our members and our community. We will do more community-based events for you people, we will do more to make this a pleasant and welcoming group for all people, not just people who enjoy raiding while still providing a good time for those people as well.
Enough of that, though. I just want to reiterate: the group has been released for a year. We’ve taken our twists and our turns, our ups and our ###### but we are here. That may not seem phenominal, but in this day and age it’s remarkable and I’m extremely proud to have lead this group alongside my members and my officers for two years. We beat the odds of survival, we proved everybody who doubted us wrong, and we have done exceptionally. We are now a renowned clan, a powerful clan, and a fun clan. We’ve worked on many great projects, we’ve fought in many wars, and we’ve done fantastic work together. From the TRA war to the FEAR war we have done remarkably and shown, at times, immense activity and dedication from our members. I’d like to remind you - the FEAR war rally had over 60 people in attendance, as did our release.
Here’s some things I can promise you: we will maintain our values of community. We will maintain our values of dedication, of continuation. Using both of those, we will continue to make this clan a fantastic group to be in and I can assure you that we are going to be around for a while, and it only gets better. Disregard any naysayers, disregard anyone who puts false claims to our name and seeks to put us down; we know the truth, we’re enjoying our time, and we’re doing well. Let’s keep doing that, let’s keep moving forward with this group. I’m proud of all of you, and I thank every single person who has dedicated their time to this group. It means a lot to me, and it means a lot to the others in the group who enjoy it, as well.
Overall, you can’t forget where you came from, and I don’t intend to; neither should you. Let's just make sure we have fun and we make that our priority.
For the Lion.
