  1. Hey, welcome to the community!
  2. Hey, welcome to the community! Happy birthday.
  3. Bamf, without you—and the staggering amount of time and energy you've expended on this community—Asylum would not have survived. It probably would have died within six months of Identity's announcement. People probably aren't fully aware of just how much you've given, sacrificed, and endured over the years, but having seen it up close, I can't thank you enough for all of your Sisyphean toiling on our behalf. You persevered in the face of overwhelming negativity, frustrating internal forces, capricious BIS policies, and so much more, but you always seemed to press on simply because you loved the game. You've left an indelible mark on this community and everybody who has been a part of it owes you a debt of gratitude. Thank you for all you've done. All the best.
  4. When I heard Bilal was buying Asylum, my initial reaction was "Who gives a shit?" But I have to say, after some time to think, this might actually be what's best for the community. For a long time Asylum has been missing that magic it had in the old days, and between reverting some of the development missteps and shaking up the leadership structure, this might be the shot in the arm this community has desperately needed. In service of that end, I'd be willing to come back—shit, might even play the game again. Good luck @Bilal Battu, you've got your work cut out for you, but it's totally doable. If you need a hand with anything, I'm always happy to help out.
  5. Yeah they really don't like it when people are critical over there. I've found the trick is to voice your criticism in the form of over the top, ironic, praise. You don't get banned since the fanboys think you're sincere and it gets people really riled up. I've been lighting fires in that discord with this method for a few days with great success lol.
  6. Kidnapping all of the cops in Kavala with @Jin. 2 (well 1.3 because I have terrible aim) of us vs like 6 cops. Got them all handcuffed, had some very fun roleplay. Back when that was a thing people still did.
  7. Bada, LaGrange, and Rodrigo are bad at video games.
  8. There's clearly a meme here that I am not getting. What is going on?
  9. Perhaps a better compromise would be adding community-driven content updates to the list of donation goals. Allow the community to make proposals, have the community vote, bamf and gnashes take the top five or so and sort them according to the amount of time and effort required to implement. If the goal is met, the content is added to the game. A system like this would bring real incentives to the table, freshen up the existing gameplay, and it would likely result in far more donations than meager numeric changes with little bearing on actual gameplay. As an added bonus, the community would have a more prominent role in shaping Asylum's gameplay and future. It may not be a perfect solution, but thanks to Bohemia and their draconian donation rules it's probably about as good as it's going to get.
  10. Depends, do you like helicopters that sound like lawn mowers? If so, absolutely. Ever since arma improved the 3D sound stuff, the need for JSRS has been greatly diminished. Though I'm sure some people stiff prefer it.
  11. Those were truly the best of times. Speaking of Jin, this thread got me looking through my old recordings and I found a clip of Jin and I downing cops in Kavala. Everybody was roleplaying, everybody was enjoying themselves, no one was angry or saying it's been ten minutes and Dcing. It was fun. I should post that clip and remind people how awesome asylum can be when you don't take it too seriously.
  12. Not sure that CPR at the end was up to regulation, but at least you tried to resuscitate him.
  13. I remember this fight. That "let's hover an orca directly above them and let them shoot the pilot" tactic caused a massive controversy. Also we (the APD) came back way too many times.
