It is so great seeing the server thrive again keep it up @Clint Beastwood and @BaDaBiNg_10-8

I've been working on a random vehicle crash event and have made the bare bones of it and was wondering what everyone's opinion on it is.  Its mostly for police and medics to go and clean up the wrecked vehicles and tend to the injuries of the passenger(s) for a monetary reward.  There could possible be a civ/rebel function for it too.  If a civ/rebel rolls up on a crash site they could possibly repair and lock pick the vehicle to either chop it or use it.  Only police and medics would be notified of the crash though so it would be hard for a civ/rebel to find one.
The way this works is it picks a random location on the map, finds the nearest road, makes sure there is no player near the spot so the player doesn't crash into it, selects a random crash scene template and then notifies police and medics.
Just thought this would add a little content to medics and police (possibly civs/rebels).
Current Feature List:
- Animated NPCs around crash site (Probably need to work on this a bit more)
- Damaged vehicles
- Treated injured occupants of the vehicles
- Repair vehicles
- Ability to copy NPCs and Vehicles placed into EDEN editor for crash scene templates
- Notify police/medics of crash
- Impound Vehicles
Planned Features:
- NPCs that can bleed out
- Once crash site is cleaned up medics/cops are paid that were at scene:
  - Increase payment based on:
    - Initial distance from crash site
    - Time it takes to clean up crash site
    - If vehicles were repaired prior to impound
    - If you saved a NPC that was bleeding out
- Crash scenes with HEMMTs or other vehicles that have virtual inventory/actual inventory that can be robbed by Civs/Rebels
- OnStar headquarters that has a terminal that can be hacked to let all civilians know when a crash occurs
- Police capability to restore the terminal to remove civ access.

Initial bare bones:

I would also like to see your inventory space on the HUD, so If i have a bag that gives me 96 space and I have 10 redgull I know I have room without opening my phone and going into my inventory.

I agree. Will add that to the list of fixes/modifications. 

now we just need to finish performance then staff  gl clint best wishes

Honestly if the servers improve I would definitely come back, especially with winter break coming up, people got some time off.

Almost 5 years ago I purchased Arma 3 at the urging of a friend to play something called Altis Life.  My friend said I had to play on a server called the Asylum - so I bought the game on steam and we all got on S1.  That night I ended up with a Katiba trying to rob people processing cocaine.  I ended up getting killed by a guy named DanteSleepy, but I was hooked.  
Through the months that followed I ended up in a little gang named Innovative, then as an Admin, a Captain in the APD, Community Manager, Developer, and finally an owner of the community.  I've enjoyed the years here, but it is finally time for me to move on.  No doubt you've seen the news already that @BaDaBiNg_10-8 and @Clint Beastwood have purchased Gaming Asylum from @Paratus and me.  They have some ideas that I think the community will be happy about, and are bringing in a great developer to help anchor that team in @Jesse.  
I'd like to thank all the admins, mods, developers, contributors, and support people who have helped (and continue to) the community over the years.  Without a dedicated group of people to keep this place running it would no doubt fall apart. 
I'd also like to thank the community for sticking with us through the good times and the bad.  It's not lost on me that three years ago tonight Gnashes and I were finishing trying to get all the data pulled back into the database after we lost the database server.  The community stuck through that with us, and I'm really thankful that you did.  
Thanks for all the memories.

Hello there! I'm Thacus™ in game, here's one skin I have been working on, this is a Constable hatchback reskin. 

@ P.FitzWallace

Sometimes sending someone to jail just doesn't make you feel good.  Sometimes you really want revenge.  Sometimes someone just has to die...
Dead or Alive
Rebels on the the island of Altis have decided to band together and setup an illicit murder for hire racket.  Players can now place bounties to have other players killed by visiting a rebel outpost.  Rebels have the ability to level up as an Assassin which will allow them to track players faster and more accurately, as well as to ensure they get a larger cut of the assassination bounty.  Only the best hitmen will become Master Assassins.  
Other members of the island may not want to go out and kill people, but instead may want to get discounts at rebel, sell their illegal items for more, and process drugs faster.  If that sounds like you, then you should choose to become an Intimidator.  The Intimidator will receive discounts on items and vehicles at rebel shops.  Drug dealers will pay more for their goods since you've got the good s*#t.  You'll also be able to make those drugs faster.  The Master Intimidator even gets a discount from the APD on their bounty.
Finally, maybe you feel more like an Outlaw.  Outlaws can lock pick cars faster.  They get more money when robbing gas stations.  They even have special medical talents to allow them to blood bag, splint, and defib players faster.  If you can become a Master Outlaw, then you will even have access to a full medical shop at the rebel outposts.  
Players with a Rebel license now have access to the Infamy skill trees Three Infamy skill trees have been added:  Assassin, Intimidator, and Outlaw Players can now place kill bounties on other players inside the community.   Kill bounties are taken and redeemed at Rebel Outposts. Players killing other players with a kill bounty on their head must still follow all RP rules of the server.   The sub trees of Assassin allow for a smaller tracking radius, faster re-track times, and getting more of the bounty When you kill a player with a bounty on their head, they will drop a "scalp" virtual item that must be turned in at the rebel outpost in order to collect the bounty.   To track a player kill bounty, simply enter the circle and the location will update without scroll wheeling - provided you are not in a vehicle.   Collected scalps can be stolen from other players by killing them (again, RP rules apply). The sub trees of Intimidator grant discounts at rebel outposts, increase in sale prices of illegal items (drugs and gold bars), and faster processing of drugs.   The sub trees of Outlaw allow you to lockpick faster, get more from gas station robberies, and medical perks.   Experience for Infamy is earned by turning in scalps, selling gold bars after robbing the fed, robbing the bank, prison breaks, gas station robberies, chopping vehicles, and selling drugs.   There are other under the hood performance tweaks and bug fixes as well, but I'm not going to list all of those out.  
HF1: 
Fixed a derp HF2:  
Fixed a minor exploit related to infamy gain.   Capturing a cartel now awards some infamy.  HF3:  
Fixed a bug preventing gold bar sales from giving infamy Drug runner missions now give infamy Also fixed an apparently long standing bug related to goldbar pricing when you own the turf that increases the sale price

Bank Of Altis Pyrgos Branch Unprotected?
A slew of bank robberies has the residents of Pyrgos on edge, Ivan Y. brings us a hair raising story about the state of the town's bank
This week the bank of Altis Pyrgos branch has been robbed at gun point an alarming amount of times leaving the residents of Pyrgos to consider keeping their money elsewhere. The Altis Police Department has been stretched so thin that some robberies go unhindered and others end in bloodshed with the perpetrators making off with over one million Altis pesos in the course of one week. residents have expressed concern over this due to the increasing amount of collateral and property damage in the area. Government officials in Pyrgos have had talks of meeting with the Altis Police Department to discuss better ways to protect the bank . This week they will try and meet in Kavala where the Police Department's headquarters is located, we will bring you more on this later in the week.

Local Fisherman turned chemist has run in with APD
In a weird and wacky turn of events a local fisherman who goes by the name of Augustino Sierra had a run in with law enforcement officers in the Illegal zones near Pyrgos, officials say. 
According to the police report Mr.Sierra was apprehended after trying to flee the scene. The officers arrived due to a call from a local citizen stating there was some suspicious activity in the zone. When apprehended and asked what Mr.Sierra was doing at the location Mr.Sierra responded with "I was called to repair and tow a broken vehicle" Officers found the statement suspicious and determined the vehicle was indeed Mr.Sierra's , law enforcement officials reviewed the suspects record and deduced that he was neither a threat to the city of Pyrgos and did not have enough information to make a determination on whether or not to arrest the suspect. He was given a fine and probation due to his successful work with the Pyrgos Safety Group. Police officials declined to comment. 
 
Real Estate market showing signs of revival
Last week we ran a story about the Real estate market revival in the area in and around Pyrgos. After the story was ran citizens flocked to the town to purchase the remaining properties in Pyrgos. Pyrgos News network took a look at the number of homes available for purchase directly from the bank and noticed that only a few remained , with the remainder of the homes being listed or sold by individuals , this caused an increase in the cost to purchase a home in the area. The local government has declared that Pyrgos is now becoming the go to place to retire. We will continue to review the market and keep our readers up to date with this.
 
A once sluggish economy shows signs of strengthening 
Pyrgos , a town who a fews weeks ago had few residents and even fewer business men has shown a dramatic increase in vehicular and foot traffic, the local shop owners have told PNN that their sales have grown since the new residents and PNN established their base in town. some residents have even opened new businesses such as Mother Russia Taxi, Sierra's Spirits, and Yerkinov Estates. these prominent members of the town have purchased large swaths of real estate and have provided a much needed bump to the local economy.
 
No women in Altis?
This article will dive into the reasons, recommendations and stories as to why not many women migrate to Altis, causing a dramatic decrease in new births and homosexual activity. A once happy town was devastated when they learned of the counter vagina culture in Altis, with some criminal enterprises kidnapping , killing , and even threatening to rape fellow female residents. once such resident spent over a week establishing herself to the move out of the Asylum due to excessive harassment and verbal abuse from the opposite sex. This culture has been ingrained in the minds of the country's social economics.  In one interaction as a gang member was arrested, he was heard yelling things like " I will rape you" "you're a whore" and even worst. PNN condemns this sort of behavior and will pursue all violators with the full extent of its capabilities. We as humans can be very insensitive, however these matters are not to be joked with and EVERYONE should be respected, with the APD already spread too thin , is it too late to change things? more on this story  next week.
 
Honorable Mentions
 
The PNN usually mentions honorable citizens in this part of our newsletter. However we have had little to no participation from out citizens in reporting news or stories to our Network. This week unfortunately there are few to be mentioned. We do , however , want to take the time to thank all of the Police officers who put their lives on the line to protect our cities and homes. The APD is always Hiring and we urge citizens who are ethical in character to apply and help enforce the laws throughout the lands.
 
 
This has conluded our Second Edition of the PNN newsletter. 
Please make sure to reach out to us with any news that we can publish . We can only publish what we personally report on and receive from others. 
Good Luck and See you next week in our Third Edition.

Its been a long journey for me and i have had a blast during my path to whatever i have achieved on Asylum but every journey has its end and i have met mine.I have been planning and applying for Universities for quite a while and recently got accepted in a University aboard.And i will be leaving on 04 September from my current to my destination.I wanted to thank everyone for making this journey of mine in asylum a great one.
I would not have imagined to play arma for this long if it wasnt for @Subaru and @BaDaBiNg_10-8 who inspired me to get myself in a higher APD rank and thought i would be a good corporal when i was a constable at that time.Special thanks to you two for helping me out in all my issues i had overall.
Now you might think "Hey he just got Mod why the hell would he want to leave such a good position?".Well simple answer to this question is that life prioritizes over a game.I am sure i wont be able to play in the starting months in my University and definitely wont be an active mod or an APD member.Why not give it to someone who can be more active than me and maybe he can do better than i did.Its also a good tip to all those inactive higher ups who just hold their positions until they get pushed out for being inactive.
Playing with you all was fun and i am happy to see myself move forward in life and maybe i would find time to hang around again who knows.But one thing is for sure is that i had a good time playing on Asylum and i will never forget my friends here.Good luck to you all and thank you for reading this farewell thinge.

I did it

I never give a bounty hunter the bounty unless I have to do to a circumstance. The bounty could have a 5k bounty or a 100k bounty I wouldn't hand them over. The reason being is that with a cop you get rp or at least with me you do, and you also get a reasonable ticket or other form of payment. With a bounty hunter you go straight to jail and have to serve afk time which no one likes. I understand bounty hunting is part of the game but if I can help someone from going to jail im going to do that. 

I’ll give the bounty hunter the bounty only if the person refuses to pay a ticket after all the RP, and then I let the bounty hunter and wanted person play Hide and go seek in the HQ. If the wanted person escapes the HQ without being downed by the bounty hunter, they are pardoned. I’ll then give the bounty hunter 25% of the bounty reward for the effort

Damn, When I first started Asylum as that pleb in Athira FSA were always the ones to be afraid of. I remember mystical moon mans videos (I think that was his name he took down the videos a while back) with you guys and the amount of fun and role playing you brought to Asylum. I remember being heli dropped on with a hemmit full of scotch you all shooting my tires and yelling at me in accents to get out or die but even in this time of me losing my scotch it was still an amazing experience as you guys were committed to having a great time and thus making it a great time for me regardless. Sometimes I would hate you guys with a passion (mainly because I was salty) but I still remember the great times/experiences that we had. So thank you for making the experience here on Asylum the greatest. 07.

Ham and pineapple pizza is my familes favourite pizza.

Yeah exactly I dont know how many times I had to stop what I was doing just to fly back to a cartel to sit there for a minute. 

I think that you should retain benefits till the cartel is at 0%. Another thing is if the cartel is being capped down from 100 (100 - 0) and someone stops at any % in between and leaves the cartel cap zone the cartel should cap back 10% every 2 or 5 minutes until the cap is back at 100%. However if the person caps past 0% and gets to 10% up the cartel should stay how it is and should not cap up anymore if they leave. This way we get rid of people accidentally caping 10% and you having to go back just to sit there for a minute. 

snow thx

Rain and Thunderstorms were super awesome as long as it didn't happen at night. If it were limited to daytime only i would love to see it make a comeback.
