As Azeh mentioned I don't officially start until Monday but i've already been going through the code looking for issues. A patch should come out the first week with some quick fixes. I have plans for big changes which should also come pretty quickly, although maybe not in the first week.

Everyone-  
In addition to the normal goals that we have every month, this month will be slightly different.  I have hired @Poseidon to look through the Asylum code and work on (mainly) performance.  Many of you may know him as the former owner/developer of Olympus.  
I've agreed to pay him for two weeks initially, but as the Community Goal amount increases for the month - so will the chance that will be able to keep him on longer as he makes improvements.  Here is your chance to directly impact server performance here at Asylum by donating money to that effort.  Hopefully we'll not only be done with the BE kicks, but also have much better server performance going forward very soon.  
Also, if we hit tier 3 (or higher) during the month of July I will go ahead and unlock that now instead of waiting until August.  So there are two great reasons to donate to the Community Goals for this month.  
Thanks,  
Bamf

Can we get this in game and maybe the different camos for it as well?
Carrying weight could be around 110-120 or something and maybe make the backpack cost around 1k. Could be good for making money but terrible for fighting thus the trade off seems fair enough.

 
If you want math here it is 
Lets say 1 cocaine sells for $500 just to make math easy.

carryall holds 96 inventory, Initial costs $300
cocaine weighs 3 each thus a carryall holds 32 cocaine
32 cocaine = $16,000
Profit = total - initial = $15,700


Bergen holds 120 inventory, Initial costs $1000
cocaine weights 3 each thus Bergen holds 40 cocaine
Total = 40 cocaine = $20,000
Profit = total - initial = $19,000
So if you pay an extra $700 for the Bergen your profit is $3,300 more than using a Carryall thus I believe the price and amount is justified
Even though it may seem simple just something new like this can create a whole different experience and its always nice to see a little something different when playing.

@Akeelagi told me it would be in a recent update.  I have 2 houses in telos on s3 for scotch and sometimes some crates will show and some will not and its pissing me off because I spent so much on crates to get them in and I cant do scotch there because it is unreliable to stay

@bamf  Seeing as population isn't so bad these days, specifically the weekends.  What are your thoughts on this sir?  I personally don't like a server being down because then I can't play on it and it makes it hard to work with investments on said server, personally I've moved to 1 but I was a 3 player.  Have you responded to comments like this a lot?  Sorry I have not seen any nor have I really researched.  
 

Please remove the timer on server 3 or delay it

3 pages of the community expressing their complaints with the server and providing suggestions to fix the problems yet it still gets locked? It's like the admins/devs on this server want the servers to die.

I would spend more time reporting and getting comp than actually playing the game if I reported people when shit happened

I've been working on something this week as potential "rebel content". It got the green light from both devs and will go into testing soon for balance and community feedback. It's not skins for a change

*OOC*
Hello all, 
I'm new to the Asylum server and the game really, played a lot of the ARMA series but mostly combat missions and not so much RP but the main reason for that is I didn't have the time to give to the RP side of the game due to the fact I used to play other games that took up a lot of my time,
I'm British, a father, a gamer and an avid airsofter which I have played for years. I've been playing or messing about with RP ever since CS 1.6 on the mod called "The Specialists" not sure if many people here know that game and maybe I am just showing my true age.
I do enjoy RP, I mostly enjoy playing an official role like in the PD or armed forces due to my previous real life job history and upbringing. 
Been messing about on Conan and Life is Feudal RP servers recently but getting a little bored of the medieval nonsense and the fact I was made admin which at first seemed like a good idea but it sucked a lot of fun out the game and also my gaming time and because of this I took a step back and I want to try something else.
There is no proper reason why I picked this server but I did like the name, i'm not a server hopper and tend to stick with one but there is something I've noticed whilst playing on this server which is the random RDM's and stupid behaviour by some of the players for example people where just randomly getting shot in the legs for no reason, people off loading rounds into walls near peoples heads, the lack of proper RP which hopefully if I apply to the PD will be able to fix. This can look to a newish player very intimidating but personally I looked past this and when I joined the server I was met by Officer Bulletproof who was a great help and offered some tips and advice on how to get me started so big kudos to him.
Question to the staff, server admin and such. You have opfor which is white listed PD slots for the server but they are not filled with people RP'ing as cops but as random people abusing those slots and powers. Shouldn't this be addressed or am I missing something? I did try and ask such a person out of character why they were doing such a thing but was shot in the face and killed losing all my scuba stuff, bank card and etc.
 
Character stuff
Name: James McClean
Aged: Early 30's
Nationality: Born and raised in Liverpool so of British and Irish descent.
Job occupations: Diver
Back story: Was born and raised in Liverpool with an Irish upbringing and moved back to Northern Ireland to pursue a life in the police force. After being promoted to detective and he started working on a case file of a murder that involved the killing of a UDA (Ulster Defence Association) by the IRA (Irish Republican Army). The more he got involved in the case the darker it got, there was threats to his work place and his family so the force thought it would be good idea to move them to a safe house and put James on protective leave but whilst driving his family to the safe house he was ambushed by van full of men wearing black balaclava's, his family and himself was taken from the car and shot, his wife and daughter died at the scene and James almost did too. Upon finding his feet after many months in hospital he had been transferred from Northern Ireland to Lemnos in Greece. 
He was greeted with a friendly face who told him the case had been closed and for his own safety he was to live in Greece under a new Alias James McClean as the IRA families where still looking for him.
There isnt a day that doesnt go by that he doesnt think about his family and the killers but he doesnt have the means or money to be able to return and avenge them so for now he is now a humble treasure hunter who dives for a living off the coast of Kavala and one day wanting to return to the force and help decrease the crime levels around Atlis.
 

I was talking to @Patato the other day and he mentioned how SGT+ used to be able to convert their personal cash to dirty money and back again. I would personally like to see this added (or re-added)
With this SGT+ would be able to convert their money and then run a broadcast saying that a convoy is transporting $X from bank to fed, stop the convoy and steal the money (Just one example). I could see this adding a really fun element to the game for both rebels and cops.
Charges:
With regards to the charges, I propose a policy update making money laundering only applicable to banded notes. This is to stop someone from stealing the money, getting caught and then not only getting the money taken (and converted back to cash, causing the higher up to lose nothing) but also getting a 50k bounty for having it, when they only held the money for 10 seconds before being downed (Though maybe that should be part of the risk of going after a convoy like this?). As banks now payout in banded notes and cartels auto deposit into gang accounts there is currently no way to get dirty money.
Why SGT+:
I know some people will be wondering why I am saying SGT+. Let's face it, there are constables and sadly some corporals out there who would take the money and go convert it just to get the payday. This is not the point behind this. It is a high risk, possible reward situation. Hopefully by the time you reach the rank of Sergeant you are mature enough to not be doing this. Also if a constable or corporal goes to a Sergeant+ and says hey can I give you 50k to turn into dirty money, what reason does the higher up have to say no?

Came back after a year or so break. Trying some different ways of money making and it seems Kavala's citizens are about the same as they were when I left.
 

Just because you accept every application does not make you a “big gang”

OK, all servers should be back online.  I'm able to pull and store vehicles.  Storage crates work.  Etc.  
This wasn't an issue with the patch, but I'm leaving them on 8.1.4 for the evening.  The issue was caused by a downstream issue related to Windows Updates on the database server.  We have identified a hardware issue on that machine that we are masking through software.  We are creating a plan to replace the physical machine with a new one, but will do that during non peak hours.  
I'm sorry for the inconvenience today everyone.  Thanks for hanging in there.  

I was looking through my google docs I have viewed and found this, which is pretty detailed and has some interesting ideas.

(i believe this was made by @explicit, not positive though.)

tl:dr  - not worth the read at all, in fact, i didnt even read it myself.

What a fucking rat.

disclaimer: i am not accusing any of these players of cheating, its all fun
 

My bad thought you just could't see or something.
