@Das Otter I think you need one of these sir.

I miss having summers  it's all the same after school is over. 

You seem more like a wine cooler guy

Ya'll fucking legends, thanks for contributing to this community and making it a place where thousands of people have a great gaming experience with friends and random people.
Recently with Bamf and KBW working on those patches like maniacs the servers are greatly improving after a long being of slow patching.
Also the staff as always, giving great input and probably helping to test features and listen to the community, dicussing rules and content together.
The admins that recentely retired and still actively play in the community i just wanna say that you're awesome and hope the joy of the game itself is returning as the stress of being an admin wears off.
 

<3 you guys. 

Takes 40 minutes to find a video then I end up running over and sit afk outside jail and get a war death. Gotta finish what you started though.

So how can I buy the new devs some beer.  i think they earned it. 

I don't know why you're saying this to me.
But apparently I have to be blunt here because you guys don't get it. We don't care what you're saying here, don't type anything if it's not a question unless you're a Lieutenant.

So lets say someone is on parole and has 2 hit and runs (2k bounty) which means no parole violation, if they get pardoned or pay a ticket it will end their parole?

What's up friends.
Boris here, your local Insanity gang member with an above average shot and absolutely no idea how to fly an orca.
I'm sure many of you have noticed Asylum changing into a more fight-orientated server, with less and less banks/prisons, and more NA time cartels complete with exploding ifrits, DDoS in the middle of a fight, and Alt-F4'ing after being shot off window rocks.
Boris misses the old days. When Lirik would bring massive server traffic, or when FSA would kidnap people and make roleplay videos. Maybe roleplaying a fed with BB on S3, or just straight up getting into Kavala shenanigans. Hell, I originally joined the police force because a cop was roleplaying taking someone's weed for personal use, it was funny, and I wanted to get in on that. I don't remember his name, it was almost 2 years ago, but still, the memory is there.
So i'm doing something about it. I dropped my MK18, took off my ghillie suit, and stuck on a straw hat and backpack. Then I went to Kavala and I started looking for people to roleplay with.
And it's been a huge success.
In 24 hours i've...
1)Gone on a weed field trip with SnappedPOX and Denise, 2 fresh players.
2)Watched TRAV get pistolbanged out of his hummingbird in the weed field.
3)Watched Snapped shoot Denise in the head for making too much noise at the drug dealer.
4)Dodged cops through the city of Kavala with a rook and a dream.
5)Turned an offroad of weed into a box truck of heroin with a chain smoking russian who loves to steal things.
And it's been the kind of fun that I used to have when I first found Asylum.
I'm not telling everyone to take a step back in time, but just try it, don't roll around with your gang, clear your bounty, grab some civ clothes and interact with people you meet. Try and get a cop to give you a ride, kidnap people and force them to accept 10k in exchange for murdering someone, either create or join interesting roleplay scenarios for you and new players.
Every new player you create roleplay scenarios for could become the next admin, captain, or community manager, and you could be the person who makes that happen.
So go out and have fun with new players, old players, or just have fun in general. Forget about money, forget about cartels and gangs and bounties, just roleplay and have fun.

o7 sneaky. Haven't seen you on 3 in forever. You are awesome. Us PA guys need to stick together so I hope to see you around. Have fun man. 

I think Olivia would do a good job as admin. She applies herself to her duty that is for sure. If I had more time I'd apply. I don't mind doing paperwork and sorting things out but it wouldn't leave me with any time to play. 

Turtle Beach PX22. They have separate volume controls on the amplifier box for chat sound, game sound, your own voice feedback, bass, and treble. Have two volume settings on a switch to control how loud your microphone volume is. Can plug your phone into the amplifier box with an aux cord and talk on your phone with it or inject music into the headset through it. Has built in system that raises chat volume over loud game sounds. Can be used with either console if you have one. And the headset unplugs from the amplifier box. All at around 60-80 bucks in stores, maybe less online. 

In an effort to improve the opinion of the APD that a lot of civs have I thought I would make a post on ways, in my opinion, to improve the relationship between the police force and the civilians. Nothing I say in this post is law, nothing is "calling anybody out", and I am not saying these things are the only ways to interact with civilians. Feel free to add anything to this, either things you do or your thoughts on the post. Ideas will be broken up into the key subject in bold and an explanation beneath it. For those of you that just want to get to the point you can skip the next paragraph. 
To explain what I mean by the opinion of the APD I will break it down. Civilians often feel the APD is just there to issue tickets and that we do not really care about them or their well-being. The job of a police officer is not just to catch criminals but also to help the population. The police force is a main piece of the server that will in a large part determine how popular it is. If all we were here to do is issue tickets then the developers would have just made ticket amounts come directly out of the persons account or send them to jail if they could not pay it. The police force is here to battle the gangs, protect the civilians from the gangs and each other, provide balance on the server to keep it from turning into chaos, and to allow the people of the island to feel a certain degree of safety and even importance. The reason I say importance is because without the civilians Asylum would be no more. I feel the importance is an issue we need to step up our game on. With that being said, on with the post. 
Respond to 911 calls. Civilians send 911 calls for a reason, they expect a response. Always try to respond to a 911 call with a text telling them if you can or can not respond. Often times if all officers are busy I will send the person a text telling them we are not able to respond at the moment due to this reason but we will try to respond as soon as we can. If it takes very long I will even send them another message telling them we have not forgotten their call. If you notice another officer is near the call alert the officer to it, tell them the call that just came in is near them and see if they can respond to it and then notify the civilian. If a civilian is stuck somewhere and messages the police for a ride always try to help them out, even if it means pulling a helicopter.  Engage in RP with civs in your area. Often times if I get out of my car in a city when I am not in a pursuit I will immediately ask the surround civs how their day is going, this will always lead to more conversation. Avoiding conversation with civs makes them feel like you don't care about them. If you are talking to someone and you need to leave for something tell them you would stay and chat but your assistance is needed elsewhere. Another great way I have found to gain some respect from civilians is to ask them if they think the APD is doing a good job, how the force could improve, and if they feel safe. I tell them their opinions will not be held against them in any way and it is shocking how many people will actually be serious about it and tell me what they think. Always give civilians a chance to explain their actions. It is tempting to be strict with someone when they have done something against you but try not to. If someone is being rude try to rp with them why they are in such a bad mood and that you are just trying to do your job and keep the island safe. If they are violent with officers ask them why. It is almost always possible to get someone that is being uncooperative to turn their attitude around. *Here is another post I made with a tip to do that  Remember someones ticket should be reduced just for not making you chase them. If you ask someone to stop or siren and they do then go easy on them. I am not saying do not try to rp, always try to rp. Even if someone has a 300k bounty always allow them the chance to explain their actions. I know a lot of gang members don't bother trying to rp because in the past they have rped a story for 20 mins just to have their 200k ticket dropped to 100k which they still wont pay. If you really think their story is not going anywhere try to avoid letting them waste a bunch of their time but do it in a respectful way. But otherwise give them a chance to explain themselves.  Do not restrain a civilian as soon as you start talking to them. I have heard a lot of civilians complain that as soon as an officer walks up to them and says sir you are wanted the officer restrains them. If the person is being cooperative and did not try to run from you there is no reason to restrain them until you need to issue them a ticket or search them (I normally do not search unless i caught them breaking a law). If I need to restrain someone to do something when they are being cooperative I always warn them first that I need to do so for this reason.  If someone is turning themself in and combat breaks out for an unrelated reason unrestrain them somewhere safe. This way if all officers die the person is not stranded there handcuffed. Remember a person in handcuffs is unable to use their phone. You can always meet up with them after the combat has been resolved.  Do not hold grudges against gangs. Gangs are a necessary part of the game. As a police officer you signed up for combat and to deal with general trollery. If a gang starts seeming hostile with cops it is probably a sign they do not feel they are being treated fairly. Always try to explain to people the reason why they are restrained, being issued a ticket, or receiving any other sort of punishment.  Always try to get people processed as soon as you can. Nobody likes to just be standing around waiting to be ticketed or sent to jail. The longer a person waits the more aggravated they will be. If somebody does have to wait a while explain to them why. Remember they are playing this game for enjoyment so their time has to be somewhat valuable to you.  Try to explain the severity of their crimes in an RP way. This is a topic to have fun with. If you catch someone robbing a gas station ask them why are they taking money from this family owned business. If they are speeding ask them if they realize they are endangering the lives of not only themselves but also the plant life, wildlife and other residents of the island. If they murdered someone ask if they ever considered the persons family and that now you will have to notify the victims wife that her husband won't be coming home. The possibilities are endless.  Make people think that their time is valuable to you. Do not keep someone in a situation they do not enjoy for any longer than you can help. Try not to keep people waiting any longer than you can help. If somebody has been kept waiting for an extended period of time don't be afraid to take some money off their ticket for their patience. If I ever make a mistake I try to compensate the person for it. Just the other night I accidentally took a player's drivers license so I paid for it and gave him extra for his time to have to go get another. In some cases the persons time to replace something can be more valuable than the items lost.  These are just some things I do. I am not saying everyone has to do it, I am just making people aware. A good experience today plants the seed for a good experience tomorrow. Remember the civilians can make our job fun and they can also make it miserable. I believe a good standing with the civilians will make the game more enjoyable for everybody. And I really believe the reason the APD was put in this game was to keep the game enjoyable for everyone (to a point). So this is the end of my long post. I hope some people get some inspiration out of it and I hope it in some way helps the servers. Thank you anyone who took the time to read this. Feel free to leave other tips you might have or questions in the comments.

Dudes and Dudettes,

See you on the servers! :-P

 Good afternoon I am here today to express my appreciation for Cadet J.Fett on Server 1 I just wanted to let you guys know what kinda of professional he truly is. He is very good at RP and is very respectful of the chain of command and is fantastic with the criminals he goes above and beyond the call of duty for what a cadet is excepted. I truly believe that this cadet should be awarded for his excellent service of taking his ride along early. I certainly believe that if you go above and beyond that you should be rewarded .

+1 to Scoot for his entertaining frustration 

SUBMITTED THEM ALL FUCK YOU 

The form doesn't autocorrect for some reason and I'm on my phone. Nobody will be able to read what im saying and I really don't wanna take my laptop out of my backpack, too much work.

I'm doing them now.
