APD HQ Lockdown Federal Event:
APD Sergeants and higher are now able to request assistance from Altis SWAT command, for backup in extreme situations when their local headquarters fall under-attack.  Doing so will activate a federal event in that city, civilians and officers will fight for the illegal loot recently seized into the HQ’s evidence storage.
Must be at least five civilians in the city, in addition to other APD policy related guidelines. May only be done every 30 minutes, and counts as a federal event. 5 minutes after the SGT requests backup, a crate full of illegal loot will spawn somewhere in the respective city. (It is locked for 10 minutes) After 5 minutes it will be marked on the map, for APD and rebels to fight over until it unlocks (Activates 35 meter radius redzone around the crate) APD can re-seize the items for a big payday, or the rebels can escape with the drugs!
Pyrgos Stash House:
Druglords have setup shop in Pyrgos, having taken the old dome from the APD HQ and setup a vault for their hidden meth and supplies.
Set drill on laptop door to breach, 15 minutes later doors will open and you will be able to access the illegal meth/uranium.
Athira Entertainment Center:
A real estate developer has moved into Athira, and he has bought the old soccer field on the south-west of town.  He has begun to build an expansive entertainment facility for Athira’s residents.     Duel Arena
Can contain one fight at a time Players can invite at the duel arena With bets that are variable from $50,000 - $999,999 Invited players can accept at the Duel Arena or any Court House(60 seconds to accept) On acception the players get teleported to the arena On teleportation half of the betting amount will be subtracted from your account (500k bet on the game, each player puts 250k in the pot) Both parties will battle for the best out of three On win you will get the battle amount On lose you will get nothing (obviously) If your battle partner leaves you will get your input back and as a punishment for leaving your battle partner will lose their input. Once the battle is concluded you get teleported back to your previous spot Come watch how bad our player base is at combat from the observation deck. Interruption of the event from the outside is a bannable offense... Any interruption is recorded and can / will lead to administrative actions     Paintball Game
Queue up for Paintball, and compete in teams of up to 5 each Fight your friends and foes alike in a controlled paintball environment, whoever wins gets the bragging rights!     Athira Casino
Have you ever wanted to gamble but not wanted to drive to Sofia? Well the Athira Casino is for you! While lacking the aesthetics of the Asylum Casino, the Athira Casino is full functional with a bouncer (to prevent homicides) and casino games. Play blackjack and roulette just a stones-throw away from the action in Athira! Additional Prestige Buffs:

tbh honest apd asylum plus skins is an interesting idea and might be something we could consider. But this could only be in clothing and vechicles. I think looking into current Asylum plus perks is something that could be look into for sure!

Blue lights only option (think zdeat suggested and some others suggested that), a unique APD horn, APD skins for the Sports, more uniforms/vests (Deck Crew vests? Think they have the same stats as the Police/Gendarmerie ones) for marked units. Would recommend the Raven vest, but it has different stats than others (storage/level I). Perhaps a police skin backpack for UC slots (although they already get the most for an APD slot).

fair play lol

First @Kelly

thought we got rid of @Ronaldsmh stupid forklift drivers

I would like to announce a few things. First things first, I would like to apologize for being too disconnected from the community. I could make a list of reasons as to why this was the case, but those would just be excuses. The only person to blame for the current situation is me. I will be around weekly at a minimum going forward to assist the admin team.
 
To help remove some of the weight from the Senior Admins(SAs) plate, Community Managers(CMs) will be added to the team. Their only duty will be to ensure the pulse and health of the community is at the forefront. The SAs will continue to run the admin team. They are separate roles but of equal rank. This will help each role focus on what matters most, the health of the community. That being said, welcome our Community Managers:
@Ronald
@DarkKnight
Thank you for your patience, time, and contributions.

We will not be adding this.

I wouldn’t mind this, just have them spawn in naked like a normal civ would. 

Ever since I stopped playing a while back the servers been in decline, I take full responsibility. 
 

While there are a lot of layers and variables to this discussion, many which have already been highlighted above so I will not waste my time repeating the detailed gripes from within. However I will offer a perspective from a completely different place based of my experience and history here. 
Simply put, the connection between the current staff as a whole and the player base is severely hurting right now. We saw a similar scenario occur during the Gnashes era where a large majority of the community felt like he was damaging the server more then helping. I would be hard pressed to find anyone that knew what was going on back then, to disagree with that statement. Although, and to his credit, as great as some of Gnashes efforts on the backend were that the community was mostly unaware of, they strongly disliked him solely because of how he carried himself and how he interacted with the player base.
Digging deeper into the issues from my perspective, having spent most of this servers life engaged in some part of this community whether as an average player, an LT, an admin, a backend dealings aficionado, and a retiree, I will say with absolute confidence that our current leadership with the Senior Admin team (Community Manager back in our day) is the worst its ever been in this communities history.
I do say that intentionally, but I also believe that its not entirely each of their faults either (Current SAs). If you look back to how the community was managed over the years, after Bamf and Gnashes left,@Clint Beastwoodtook over ownership (alongside@BaDaBiNg_10-8for a short time) and carried @Mitch (IFRIT) and @Leady over as CMs. We had a solid foundation of actual grown ups operating from the ground up coming from a good place and painstakingly trying to not repeat history that we all disliked about Gnashes (and Olio before that) and repair the server at the same time. When Mitch became owner he maintained this presence with the community, although I will say looking back toward the end of his era as server pop fizzled, I don't know if Blake was a great choice for CM (still have love for you buddy), Jayshawn had a better temperament but absolutely no one will ever compare to Leady.
Leady showed us what real leadership was like. He didn't get angry, he never acted like a child, he was almost overbearingly level headed. He did not feed into drama and create rules in and out of game to cater to and enable more of that same drama. He was a true leader that was passionate about helping our community and most of this servers players respected the hell out of him for it. Sure, a few here and there had qualms with Clint, Mitch and Leady just as any other ownership era but it was SIGNIFICANTLY less than it currently is. 
I point this out because its important to see that during those transitions, the servers quality of life and interaction with the staff team and the player base grew substantially. At the same time, the server file was cleaned up and added to greatly during Jesse's (paid) time here along with an incredible amount of help from Azeh and many others. What I'm saying is that the development that was happening then ALSO played a huge part of the success during that time.  
The admin team back then was much more respected in my opinion. Without nitpicking specific scenarios or even individuals right now, most of us will agree that that is no longer the case. Not saying everyone is horrible by any means either. 
I personally see how much of it went wrong with the progression of our staff team including who was added to it over the years but without proper leadership absolutely none of that will change. However, it must start somewhere. But how will it start if some of the issues at bay are almost all the way to the top? We revolutionized after Bamf and Gnashes, Clint & Bada bought the server and turned it into Asylum 2.0 and even though we didn't have 4-5 servers during their time or even Mitch's, the community was much healthier than it is today. And even if we remove development out of the equation entirely, the leadership was much stronger back then without a doubt. I don't know if it was because most of us were all older and had jobs, wives, kids and or other adult related responsibilities that we carried ourselves differently back then or what, but something was definitely different. 
I have a lot of love for all of our players and staff, past and present, anyone that has spent time here to be apart of this community, even though I enjoy banter I don't truly dislike anyone enough for it to impede my judgement. With that said, I think its silly to have someone that was permed for mass rdm to later not only become an admin, then a captain, but now also a Senior Admin leading our admin team and our community. If you look at the problems we are currently facing within the community and you think that lack of respected leadership isn't the most important issue, I regret to inform you, you are part of the problem. I'm not just trying to pick on people either, I just genuinely believe the lack of trusted and respected leadership is the core of the issues we are seeing and the more we ignore that and bicker about the little things, the less anything will change. 
Its a trickle down effect from there honestly as well. Favorites are played and friends of certain people are being brought up as staff without thorough evaluation and training and then we as the community are stuck with more unhealthy leadership continuing to drive everything downhill. And who do we run too about it? The same 3 people that seem to be the primary point of contention for all of this chaos? It was somewhat of a rigorous process back then to even become just staff let alone CM. It is a very large responsibility and I am sorry if this hurts your feelings, but none of the current 3 are fit for service in that role based on all that I have witnessed and experienced since being staff. They individually lacked the experience necessary to succeed to begin with so again at the same time, I don't really blame them. We have a smaller community now and the circle of potential candidates for staff are in turn smaller so I understand how that has also played a part in it. 
TLDR

Replace the current CM team and start over. They have lost a significant amount of confidence within the community and fighting to repair that at this point is unrealistic. I can think of 3 potential candidates that currently have healthy relationships with the community as a whole to be effective in that role. Although I am in favor of 2 CMs instead of 3. 

Dont @ me
 

Damn I was too late

copper. These heavy rolls of metal are highly sought after for marine
construction, process them at the Metals Refinery in Kavala and Sofia, and sell
them at the commodities trader.
 
Antiquities Forge (Illegal)

Forge. Since you are melting artifacts the APD is highly incentivized to protect
Altisian history, rolled silver and rolled gold are illegal.
