So I played back in the old days when we had around 4 servers all maxed and parole was still an option. These days, people are just “explaining” their ticket and getting away with a 200k bounty, yet only a 10k ticket. I think it’d be a good idea to incorporate parole into a ticket with leniency because we’re giving them a ticket because we trust their not going to do the same thing again. Obviously we all know their going to do it again, so why not either send them to jail, or give them a really reduced ticket, which they already get, but this time they don’t get off free.

Yeah no clue where your going with this. The whole thread is about that stats and he's made a suggestion on how to improve the data on it and you think that should go to a PM? May aswell just lock the thread right now if people aren't supposed to comment on the subject. 

I am not sure how I seeked out validation, I wrote two sentences and he asked me to elaborate ...
Seeing as you were one of the main people pushing for my removal, it's a bit sus that you take this weird moral high-ground while I am talking to Jesse.

See ya on the stats page kid

Today, Asylum is re-launching that old myAsylum you used to love with some extra features and that new car smell.
Over the past month we have been re-imagining and designing the myAsylum Page to allow everyone to preview the stats of their friends and themselves.
Now you can do just that! By searching or logging in with Steam you can see how you compare to the rest of the Community as well
as new features that allow you to see your House contents, garage and your gang outside of the game!
Check it out now. We hope you enjoy this update, try not to boast too much about all that money you have!

Update 12/11/19: You can now showcase a banner of your choice on the forums as your signature
by going to https://my.gaming-asylum.com/profile and clicking "Show Signature" then embed the link as your signature.

My favorite since day one thanks for banning me for a month for VDM still love you 

@Xehons
At least you don't have to worry about the quality/quantity of fights on Asylum anymore 

where = where are you going.
were = were going to arms.
dose?

I wanted to update you on what is currently going on with Asylum! After a couple hour conversation with the team of development, we have come up with this plan. Let’s take a look.
 
Talent Rework:
 
Our goal is to reduce the amount of talents we currently have in the server. When looking at the list. The development team and I found that there were far too many that didn’t need to be locked behind a talent. A great example of this is the defibrillator talent. I can't find a reason why you need to have that as a talent to revive someone. So, it’s gone. Listed below are the talents that are either removed, or changed.
Tweaked talents:
[1, civilian, -1, 0, "Vigilante", "Able to purchase Bounty Hunter license. Max bounty $50,000."],  (You will now be able to buy a BH license without a talent, but your bounty will be limited to 50k)
[8, civilian, 7, 4, "Master Bounty Hunter", "Access to civilian Hunter (Make Pull-able - Get APD to make as PC for pull over and check license.) Now, you can pull a hunter if you have one in your garage, and do not have this talent learned. However, it would then be considered an illegal vehicle and the APD will have the ability to seize it. 
 
Removed talents:
 
[9, civilian, -1, 0, "First Aid", "Can use blood bag to heal up to 80 health."],
[10, civilian, 9, 1, "First Aid Level B", "Can use blood bag to heal up to 90 health."],
[11, civilian, 10, 2, "First Aid Level C", "Can use blood bag to heal up to 100 health."],
[12, civilian, 9, 1, "Shocking", "Can revive an unconscious player with defibrillator."],
[13, civilian, 12, 2, "Jaws of Life", "Able to pull unconscious players from a vehicle."],
[15, civilian, -1, 0, "Unrestricted License", "Ability to buy the SUV, Hatchback (Sport), Box/Fuel Truck and Vans."],
[16, civilian, 15, 1, "Chauffeur License", "Receive taxi pick-up requests."], — removed due to not in use current mission  
[18, civilian, 15, 1, "Private Pilot", "Ability to buy and take out small helicopters."],
[27, civilian, -1, 0, "Rebel", "Able to buy Rebel License."],
[28, civilian, 27, 1, "Guerilla", "Able to buy and use ghillie suits."],
[29, civilian, 27, 1, "Marksman", "Able to buy and use 7.62mm rifles and ammunition.  (Can not have Master Bounty Hunter)."],
[37, civilian, -1, 0, "Citizenship", "Able to buy home owners license."],
[55, civilian, -1, 0, "Awareness", "See the location of group and gang members on your map."],
  [56, civilian, -1, 0, "Grand Theft Auto", "Able to pick locks of standard ground vehicles."],
[60, civilian, -1, 0, "Nourished", "Food and drink consumption reduced by 25%."],
[63, civilian, -1, 0, "Something Fishy", "Longer reach when catching fish by hand."],
 
These above listed talents in red are just going to be removed, and those abilities will be automatically afforded to you. It is my hope that less talents of this nature will make it easier for new people to start out, and participate in the action. Your new talent limit will be 19.

 
Donation Goal:
 
Tomorrow night, a system will be implemented into the main page of the forums. This will be a donation goal bar to show what percentage we are at for meeting the months goal. Each month, there will be a unique reward for meeting that months goal. These goal rewards will be available to everyone on the server. Key sales and personal donations will all count towards this goal. 
 
This months goal will consist of the following.
 
Saved load-outs:
 
For Cop and Civ, you will have the ability to save 3 load-outs at rebel and cop shop. You can save and change these at will. This system will apply this load-out to your character, and charge you accordingly. It’s our hope that this will allow you to get back into the fight faster, and reduce the amount of times you forget something!
 
Also included with this goal, is the return of the lottery system. For those of you that remember, this will act similar as it did before. You can play the lottery at any gas station, may the odds be ever in your favor!
 
What happens if you pass the donation goal? We have some nice extras we would like to also add that will be listed with the donation goal. 

 
Something to note, I did not start my ownership at Asylum with a full bank account ready to cover months of server cost. I am starting fresh. With that in mind, I want to ensure you guys are rewarded for your contributions to keep the lights on.
 
This donation goal is in addition to regular development. This was implemented to give everyone a common goal to work towards while rewarding you with additional items for everyone. 
 
Current Asylum Development 
 
 I have to be careful to not over promise and under deliver here. During my conversation tonight with the Devs. We have decided to get Cop prestige into the server. Azeh is currently working on the functionality behind that system implemented and ready for your use!  

 
Again, I really appreciate the outpouring of support you guys have given me is such a short amount of time. I am excited for the future, and I hope you are too!

Your luck is as bad as your shooting! @Stratego

Afternoon all,

I am retiring from Arma 3 Development, with that comes my departure from Asylum. I will be giving up the Owner role with no one taking my spot. Sole ownership will fall back on Clint now. Asylum has been an adventure and will continue to do fine under the current developers. Azeh has turned in to quite a strong developer and has blossomed in to a fine little flower full of Arma 3 development knowledge. I will be lingering around time to time to help with issues that may arise with development and still offering my help. I just don't have the time anymore and this adventure has been a bit different than what I anticipated. Eventually coming up sometime probably soonish, I will be training them on the general maintenance stuff I did here and there to ensure smooth operations, so until that happens I'll be here.

Random fact: In the year I was doing development here I never once logged in to the servers for more than 15 minutes at a time. 🙃

Thanks everyone,
Jesse

As most of you probably know, the update released near the end of October re-introduced the lovely server lag that existed for about 3.5 years prior to V2's release. Since the October update was released I've been trying to narrow down the issue. And well, around 18 hours ago while away from my PC I had an "Aha" moment. 
Basically, when you're in jail and not in a game of laser tag - your weapons will be removed. This check happens multiple times per frame, meaning the command to remove your weapons also gets executed multiple times per frame. The effects of this command get broadcasted over the network to everyone else too. Now when there's a lot of people on the server and potentially multiple people in jail and this network broadcasting happens so frequently, shit eventually hits the fan. Solution? Make it check if you have any weapons before attempting to remove them.
So essentially, this is the same issue that plagued V1 with server lag - and has finally been solved. It sucks that it took so long to find, but that's just how it is.
This also means that the remainder of the update (along with some additional bug fixes) is now live. That includes bounty hunting and medic. Honor talents and honor xp will likely be given back sometime next week when Jesse isn't busy (he's still quitting though). There's likely still some bugs, so please do report them. However I have exams starting in 6 days, so it's limited how much time I wanna spend on Asylum until I'm done with them which is in about 2 weeks.
Lastly, fuck you @Paratus. 🙂🖕

Open another server
Splits pop
Servers look dead and there isn't as much to do
Population decreases on both
People ask for one server only
People get mad when they lose their houses
Repeat the cycle over and over.  Is it just me or is it getting crazier out there?

Hello all,
I'd like to start this by thanking the people who steered asylum before me. Between @Clint Beastwood, @Jesse, and @BaDaBiNg_10-8 they truly made this dream possible for all of us. It was not long ago that all of us were worried about the existence of Asylum. Now I believe that we are doing great, with room left to improve. 
 
Since I was approached about this opportunity and accepted their offer. I have been thinking of what I wanted to say. I was only able to come to a simple conclusion. Talk is cheap, don't talk about it, be about it. 
In early 2015, I never would have imagined that I would be anywhere close to the spot that I am today. At heart I am still a troll from Kavala. Long live the resistance...!
Moving on-
With a server that is performing this well. I think we are all ready for some much needed content additions. I have been talking with the development team about plans to bring just that. I am confident that these plans will be something that everyone enjoys in once aspect or another. Some of my initial plans include.
Swat Player Owned Shops Marshal law Civ Drug houses (think drug dealer) Money making seasons (Increased sell price for X product. Legal and illegal) A return of player to player sales of goods and weapons Stats page  Actual reasons to war, war kills, war points etc.   It should be noted that these cannot be done at the snap of a finger and will require some hard work and dedication by our development staff. But I wanted you to be aware of these ideas. It is my hope that you guys can provide feedback and ideas of your own. 

Now the tough topic. Donations and server sustainability.
With me being a fresh new owner. I am starting from scratch. At the end of the month, there will be server cost that will need to be covered. In the coming days, I intend to rework some of the rewards for donating to ensure we are able to meet these needs. I also believe that a way to show my appreciation for your continued support, I want to run a sale on keys. More information will come on that when the sale is started. If you do choose to make a donation, it will directly benefit our future here. I will get a goal bar implemented so that everyone can be informed on our status with meeting the needed goal. I believe information is power.  
 
I am truly looking forward to the future and the possibilities it brings. I am grateful for the support and understanding that you guys give me. I'm sure i'll bump my head a time or two. But just know, i am here to ensure you get the gaming experience that you deserve.
 
Mitch 

Gamers, Friends, and most of all supporters,
 
I cannot thank everyone enough for the support you have given to me and my team over the past year.  It has been a hell of a ride as a player, an admin and most of all an owner. First, none of this would be a success without the team of Administrators, Developers and Contributors.  Hats off to them for their efforts in making my vision possible.  I took a gamble early on - and you helped me deliver.  Thank you guys.
I set out a goal for Asylum when @BaDaBiNg_10-8 @Jesseand I took over last year.  My goals were simple, bring back the players, bring back stability and bring back the fun.  I can safely say all three have been accomplished.  It was not as easy as it sounds, we lost a lot of good people, we had a lot of long nights and we made some mistakes along the way.  Our community is strong and stood by us through a lot and in the end I feel we were able to deliver a better Asylum experience.  In the future, at least until Arma 3 dies, I hope we can keep delivering that fun.  
Now currently  #1 in Arma 3 Life Servers and #3 ranked Arma server in the world.  I think this point in time is a perfect time for me walk away from running the day to day operations on Asylum and let someone who can dedicate more time and focus on whats needed ahead. 
@Mitch (IFRIT) will be taking over starting tomorrow December 1st.  I will be helping during the transition throughout December, but, all decisions will be his from here on out.  
 
I wish you all the best of luck,
Clint
 
 

calling recursion a gang LOL

Hey everyone,

I first off want to apologize for the long duration of forum downtime. I have had a busy week unfortunately, and had to work this in to my schedule. While the forums have been down, they've been updated to the latest Invision Community version, which caused a plugin to have issues with ALL forum posts. The cause of forum posts being broken took me like 2 hours to figure out, eventually I narrowed it down to a certain plugin. Then I had to update all ~23,000 users via a script I made to repair some stuff.
The unfortunate thing out of all this was just that any hosted images on the site will have broken links now. That is why your signatures and avatars have been reset. If you wish to have your signature back AND it was more than just a few words or something and was something lengthy or hard to re-create.. (assuming it didn't have an image in and it was just text or something, shoot me a PM, I can get it for you). This however did free up like 40gb of space on the webserver.
Lastly, SSL is now active across all domains except our subdomains for those of you with admin/cop tools. This is due to our SSL license only being paid for the TLD (top-level domain), we do not have subdomain coverage for SSL.
Broken Images for rank icons will be replaced/added back soon. Need to get them. Also, the forums is currently "rebuilding" images in the background making them compatible with SSL if possible. So some images may show up after a while and it may just be that they're not showing due to not being processed by the server yet, as the forum system is also re-indexing everything. So the webserver is under a relatively heavy load currently.
Once again, I apologize for the downtime and the loss of any signatures/avatars. If you notice anything broken on the forums, shoot me a pm.

Thank you,
Jesse

Make the VDM rule the same as RDM. If your initiated you can ram some bitch. Let me tell you why, its such bullshit how when i'm in kavala and some asshole initiates on me while i'm in my car. I do not have a gun all I have is the car. What the fuck do you guys want me to do honk at him? hell no you guys are starting to sound like some libtards. My solution is to just run the dirtbag over. Not only will it teach this little punk a lesson it will also make you feel like a total badass. Another example is when i'm runnin some booze. Some cop pulls up and starts chasing me im in a bigass van. What do you want me to do let him chase me. Hell no! I should be able to ram the sob. Now lets talk about the type of people who don't agree with me. Who do you think they are? Well let me tell you who they are, two words. Beta Males. Now so you guys understand this better let me tell you how this works. You have some dude who agrees with me and you have another dude who doesn't they both are in kavala square. The dude who agrees with me gets initiated on so he hops in his pickup truck and runs the dude over. Then the other dude get initiated on but he just tries to run like a little pus pus. Over in the distance there are three hot chicks. Who do you think there gonna be attracted to? Definitely the dude who stood up for himself. Thats why I think we should make asylum great again and remove the VDM rule. Tell me why you can't use your car for self defence? Cause a bunch of snowflakes think its to op just because the little snowflakes can't shoot through the window.

i dont about that recoil man!

The introduction of the shotgun to Asylum has destroyed all metas.  People are passing up on full-kitted load outs and Mk1s for spawn clothes and shotguns... it’s fucking awesome!!
 

dont remove them.  As chip said its changing the Meta for the good.  It is random and allows for new siuations.  Adapt or Die

LOL HE MADE THIS POST BECAUSE WE WIPED HIM AT OIL
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

insane!
