    What did i just read

    I'm not gay, but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Deazy Johnson We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him blow in my ear, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Deazy. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry and sexually frustrated. Sometimes we will look across the table at dinner and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he'll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love.

    Suggestion within a suggestion.

     

    Martial Law was and will be a failure within asylum.

     

    however perhaps an announcement where is says all players within "a city" with raised weapons may be downed and questioned for the next 10 minutes. Although it doesn't stop people from killing the police, it ensures that the police know who's a threat and who is not.

    just an idea

     

    thoughts?

     

    best regards

    Sup rhys. I remember you from ArmaNetwork a while ago, but anyways on topic. Nah

  6. Being a cop IRL could not be any different then the APD. This is hardly even a roleplay server anyways. The only similarities between real life law enforcement and this shit is what you refer to yourself as.

     

    If you want to actually roleplay as a cop then you are better of on battlefield hardline or trying to find a minecraft roleplay server. There is nothing here that will help you relate to what it's like.

    Well this thread has confirmed a long-held suspicion about how many people actually read posts carefully. 

    It's been most illuminating everyone. Thank you hahahaha. 

    As for the OP's original suggestion, before the whole forum debacle in December, there was a gaming rig mega thread. Don't think there has ever been a competition. 

    Regarding the hijacked topic, organized gang wars never seem to go well. As some of you may know, I was highly involved with the most recent series and I found that the same issues showed up every time. They showed up during the first organized gang competition and every one since.

    A) Salt. People get upset about losing and start making the whole thing really unpleasant, people rage and demand rematches, allege cheating/metagaming, start making excuses about timezones, absent participants etc. While a little bit of this is inevitable, when it becomes widespread it can really sour the environment. 

    B ) Logistical difficulties. Due to the size of the community, it's really difficult to get everyone who wants to participate in the same place, at the same time. Getting people geared up is a nightmare. Everyone has their own specific preferences and even with scripting tools, it is still a big hassle. This doesn't even begin to address the difficulties in broadcasting the event for the community. Arma's spectator tools are pretty garbage and it has made every major community event difficult to stream in a way that's interesting for people to watch. 

    C) Dishonesty and poor sportsmanship. Last round of gang wars, the overwhelming majority of participants were honest and showed good sportsmanship, but there also a number of people who tried to exploit the way the contest was set up to abuse compensation, claim prizes that they hadn't earned, or otherwise obtain an unfair advantage. Then there were also people who just plain acted like assholes. These aren't intrinsic issues with organized wars themselves, so much as they are a detriment to people's desire to conduct, sponsor, and participate in them. 

    D) Difficulty in standardizing the events. You do classic cartels and everyone complains that it's boring. You do completely random locations and people complain that they don't know the locations. No one has come up with a good middle ground yet. Something that tests player skill rather than luck, but still remains fresh and exciting and doesn't allow people to rely on existing strats. 

    In closing, organized gang wars are tricky business. I think it would be awesome if the rebel community could come together, plan something out, agree to everything in advance, agree to a standard of sportsmanship, and then get an admin or two to sponsor the event. Really do it in a way that's by the community, for the community.

    All that being said, I don't think that organized wars are the salvation of rebel gameplay. I think that gang life is going to require a radical shift (likely away from cartels as the currently exist) in gameplay and some better incentives to fight if it's to return to its halcyon days. But hey, those are just my two cents. 

     

    TL;DR: Thread hijacked.

    Another piece of insightful knowledge.

     

    Just goes to show you that you can't keep everyone happy. From my experience it's not even a special group's fault. It's just you get such a large group of players with different ideas on how cartels should be played and what gear is acceptable (IE: Some gangs moaning about Grenades, 50. Cals, Suicide vests, ifrits, orcas). In the end it's tough to balance what everyone wants between what everyone else thinks they need. Some consider piloting an art and take great pride in maneuvering an orca to land and drop units. Others think it's too tanky or are annoyed with spotting from the skies. Same goes with the rest too. Grenades and suicide vests take no skill or whatever some might say.

    It's really down to the admin's patience at this point. Cause from where I'm sitting and seeing the way events have gone in the past I don't think it's worth doing another competition with admin powers at least. It's completely within the power of most gangs to host something like this and payout prizes on their own and restrict weaponry or no prize.

    I personally think these events are great when the community lets them be so. However, the fate of competitive gangs is in the hands of the community as a whole. Events even on a weeky basis at best won't breathe new life to competitive asylum.
