I just think the other maps need a refresh on the zones so that they are closer and its not a driving sim.

So something rather special happened this month. Get ready for gayness.

10 years ago @Drunk Devin @Travy @IndianapolisJones and some Asian wife beater we don't talk about anymore, came into asylum from another server and founded Drunk Squad.

Since then, Drunk Squad has been lead by @Drunk Devin @PwnCake @Luke SwagWalker @Robb and myself.

The first time i encountered Drunk Squad was late 2013, i came across a very drunken Indy and a very young Luke Swagwalker, i was swiftly roped into surrounding a police officer and torturing him to the point where we ended up taking over the kavala hq, where i was swiftly downed ziptied and sacraficed to mohammed by indy, by throwing me off the top of Kavala HQ.

Since then, Drunk Squad has managed to keep its values in tact while also maintaining a fun safe place to play, upholding a family mentality that is incredibly hard to find elsewhere. We have always upheld simple values that are expected out of each and every one of the members that have come through the family. Play fair, uphold your integrity and torture the cops and anyone who is, in the words of luke swagwalker "Saltier than Nickis in the Ocean holding two salt shakers with the caps off". Gone are the days where we have 25 DS tags in the server list at one time during the glory days, but when we come together and take an interest in asylum we still manage to find inventive ways to fuck with people. Mainly cops.

While other gangs on asylum have come and gone we have stayed as a staple. We take breaks off asylum, whilst always maintaining a presence there, but our community has always been here since we were founded. We have since spread into different games to try and scratch the itch that not playing a 10 year old asylum leaves.

A personal note from me, we have had many people come and go but the core has stayed the same. You lot have made sitting down in front of the pc and having the honor to log into TeamSpeak and hang out, an absolute pleasure. I have watched some of you go from single, to in a relationship, to married, to having kids. I am so proud of the people you guys have become and i love each and every one of you. People have joined Drunk Squad with the intention of splitting us up and they have never succeeded. Blood is thicker than water. Fuck em.
 
A note to everybody else. 

There is no other gang out there on asylum that remotely gets close to the success that Drunk Squad has achieved within Asylum. Although we only managed to win one Gang Wars, (Gang wars 7). We have managed to stay together for 10 years whilst annoying the fuck out of anybody who's allowed themselves to get salty. We are a different breed of human in here. We've had Jew, muslim, mormon, British, American, Norwegian, French, Canadian, Indian, Mexican, African, Black, White many other nationalities and Ebola. We all rip the shit out of eachother for our differences and it makes us closer. Drunk Squad is a great lesson for how not getting offended at anything can bring people closer. You will never be able to troll us more than we can troll you, cause we truly don't give a shit, a reaction is all we ever want out of you virgins, and if you're reading this and hating, thankyou for proving my point you dribbling retards.

In closing, i dont know how the online presence of our family ends if ever, who knows maybe the next generation of Drunk Squad littleuns will be playing ear rape music at cops in arma 5, but i know that the family itself will never die.

Happy Birthday to us lads and ladies. Here's to another 10 years. 

Bring it on fuckers. 

FSA have reportedly been spotted chucking hundreds of Q19 bodies into the Altis sea this morning attracting thousands of sharks after a humiliating set of defeats for the Q19 and crimson mercenaries.
The FSA are expecting more infidels to attempt to cross the Altis sea but are confident they can hold the border. How long the FSA will be in Altis is unknown but it's not expected to be long considering the lack of quality soldier and arms the Q19 possess. 
Mr k1ng a warrior of FSA was reportedly screaming " where is the competition" after obliterating 3 Q19 members into dust with his MK1. The FSA propaganda machine are apparently already planning a movie for Mr K1ng.
"Al Mashallah Itari!!"

Congratulations @Witz on your promotion.
Allah will certainly grant you your 72 virgins after he hears about the good news! 
I'm proud to be your fellow Muslim.
Shalom Al Abukua, Muhammad Jihad.
 
 
@RonaldI am very sad to hear that you're retiring. You did a great job. Definitely one of the good ones.

I already miss Mr. Fun Detected @Ronald, I feel that you truly were good for the community. But dont think this is going to keep me out of your DM's, im still going to be pestering you.

Congratz @Witz! We appreciate not only your time, but all the developers that donate their time to bring us new content and help keep this community running.

As many of you know, Ronald has decided to step down from the position of Senior Admin. I would like to personally thank you @Ronaldfor all that you have done during your time here with the Admin Team. The community surely would not be the same without you. I know you aren't leaving so this isn't a goodbye, but you will be missed on the team.
That being said, I'm sure I will see you in your home town of Athira every so often. My car may even make accidental contact with you here and there. Thank you again Ronald!
 
With the sad news being out of the way, I would like to congratulate @Witz on his promotion to Director of Development. You've been putting out awesome content for the community for quite some time and I cannot wait to see what you bring next! Thank you for your continued support on the development side of the community.

Most of the Devs have been quite busy as of late. Lots of things have happened in the background such as migrating everything to a new server. Our infrastructure has greatly improved. You may notice some unlisted changes as we continue to tweak them (Ping kicks).
Mostly a QOL/Server maintenance Patch this month. 
Added:
Bright Night Select night brightness via settings slider! Sheds Broken down sheds on the map have been repaired to full working order. (36 Total) We will be slowly introducing these new sheds via Give-Away (Join our discord), Asylum forum auction and random market seeding This is being done this way to ensure equal opportunity for shed ownership and as to not crash the shed market.  Owning sheds is now limited to 2 sheds. If you currently own more than 2 sheds you have until the 1st of November 2023 to sell sheds until you reach the 2 shed cap, after this date we will sell them for you until you reach the 2 shed cap. CCTV Security Camera's 50+ Camera's have been placed around the map and are accessible by scroll wheeling on any screen with the camera icon. Activatable by all factions Provide live feed in stunning 240p (or less) Note: PIP must be enabled in your client settings, Arma only allows a maximum of 6 PIP screens at anytime. @goyneyfor icon Ranked Based Pay (APD)
The APD is a profitable faction, but it's the higher-ups who primarily carry the risk and bear the heaviest costs. These adjustments are aimed at helping to balance out those expenses. We're also taking this opportunity to get rid of most of the stackable charges. In the past, being caught with gold bars or banded notes almost always meant serving time in prison. These changes give you the choice to either pay the charges or find ways to realistically RP the charges down to a payable leve. APD has undergone a financial restructure APD SGT/LT of the month cash reward removed (See APD policy update) No longer stackable charges (See APD policy update) Money Laundering $5,000 -> $10,000 Weapons Trafficking $1,000 -> $5,000  Possession of Reserve Gold $15,000 (unchanged) APD pay (per 5 min) Cadet  $500 -> $350 Constable $500  ->  $500 Corporal $500 -> $650 SGT $500 -> $800 LT/Captain $500 -> $1000 New Mobile HQ Layout - Thanks to @Hubschrauber for the help Mobile HQ Cost $40,000 -> $25,000 Default mobile HQ now has vehicle spawn.
