  1. There should be no issue with this. If you don't like ads, use an adblock. If you don't mind having a few ads to support Asylum then that is much appreciated! We understand everyone is not in a position to be able to financially contribute to the server. Ads are a way for people who cannot do so to help out the server! 

  2. The game is hard if you are solo and new to the server. The game revolves around doing things as a group and sometimes finding a good group of people is tough to do on the server. I would recommend looking here:

     https://www.gaming-asylum.com/forums/index.php?/forum/44-gang-recruitment/

    Look through and find that you think you would fit into and apply. There are some people who play solo but it is more difficult as you are often outnumbered. If you prefer playing solo try your hand at making some scotch. It is one of the most popular ways to make money as a solo player. 

    That is the guide above^ 

    It is a big learning curve and takes some time. If you need help with anything join the teamspeak and find a staff member if you have questions about finding a guide or need help. 

     

  3. In my opinion I see no issues with admins owning houses on the server. Granted, it should be reasonable... I do not think we all need 5 houses each. People do not stay admins forever and when/if they go back to normal gameplay they should be able to have houses regardless if it is a shed or a house.

  4. UN-blacklisting members is not my area. That's something you should talk to captains about. People do dumb stuff on the APD they get removed. All the good players do dumb stuff and get removed then that's on you guys. Not sure the APD wants to unblacklist "good" players for the sake of winning if its going to cause more headache watching you all 24/7 or deal with the reports or possibly re blacklisting people. But again not my area maybe you all can talk to the captains.

    It will be abused by captains without a doubt.  Their entire tactic will be to suicide run into a dome now with nitro and combat seize then drive the vehicle out.  Unless you have a way to prevent this or would take legitimate action against this kind of behavior its just going to be heavily abused.

    This only applies to vehicles that have entered than left the federal reserve.

    To my understanding after talking with the captains it will only be for after vehicles have left the fed. Like I said it will be monitored.

    What do you guys think about this new rule? I honestly don't even do federal reserves, but to me this just looks weird. Why do captains need to be able to do this? Was it because someone reported  a captain for it and now they need to legalize it? Pretty obnoxious if you ask me haha. 

     

    Federal Gold bar Seizing

    During federal reserve robberies Captains may now search and seize vehicles involved in the robbery regardless of combat occurring. This only applies to vehicles that have entered than left the federal reserve.

     

     

    Really only going to be used in extreme circumstances I hope. As of recent the Federal reserves have been successful 100 percent of the time by CEO driving around 5-8 iffrits. I hope this is not going to be abused and used against small groups or gangs trying to break into end game content for the first time. It is also rare to see captains on at all times of the day and even if there will only be ever 1 really. It will be monitored and we will see how it goes. Also there is a 30 second timer now to seize and they are stuck in 1 spot unable to move. I would think there is quite a bit of counter play that can be done. Policies can always change as well if it is not something that will work out in the long run.

  7. If a player complies and does what you ask, that does not give you the right to still kill them. You need to have a legit RP reason why they must still die and not having any money when you rob them is not enough. This includes people who are in restraints and have complied.

     

    Clarification  :You cannot kill people who are restrained without an RP reason who have complied.

    @Mason What kind of purpose does a CM have right now? I think Mitch is doing a great job at communicating and listening to the community ect. Just wondering what you'll bring to the table 🙂

    Right now a CM has quite a few responsibilities and unless you are on the staff side of things it isn't super clear or spelled out. Ill list a few of the responsibilities we have now and maybe that might clear it up a bit.  First and foremost we are here to be the line of communication between staff and the community. This includes being active and visible in game as well as on the forums to keep you guys involved as much as possible. I myself need to do better at this and is something I am working on. Next we are the barrier between Mitch and the admin team. We are all a team on staff but as most people are aware whenever they are not happy with an admins decision they end up jumping straight to Mitch. Me and Leady are here to help mitigate that as much as possible so that Mitch can focus on other server related issues. Me and Leady try and filter out as much as we can unless it needs to go to Mitch. This includes but is not limited to, being second opinions on admin/mod reports, promoting people to support staff and moderators. Working with the APD/AFD on policy updates to make sure nothing is game breaking, whitelisting players for VPN use, being proactive in networking with other communities to reduce the amount of cheaters. Etc. We have quite a long list of responsibilities and we found that it is alot for Just Leady and Mitch alone to handle. Hopefully I can help reduce the stress and continue doing good work for the community. While it is not always shown or made public even in my time of "inactivity" I have always been committed to this server and will continue to do so. This server has given me more than just entertainment after work and I just want to be able to give back to it as much as I can. Some of the people I met here 5 years ago have become real life friends. Some of which I make annual trips to go see. I have never played a game before where I have formed this good of relationships with the people I have met. If I did not care for this community I would not have been chosen for CM. I would hope anyone who thinks differently would be open to come sit down and talk with me to get to know me. Hopefully this answers your question. 😄

  9. Hello everyone,

     

    I have been selected to become a Community Manager. My role is to be an active part of the community both in game and on the forums. I have been here for roughly 5 years with about 7,300 hours in Arma which is 95 percent on Asylum. The rest on KOTH and the campaign. For those of you who do not know me I am one of the best helicopter pilots on the server. I would consider myself a career rebel as I have only ever made it to CPL on the APD. I do try and balance it out as much as I can but there is something about trolling cops that puts a smile on my face. I am not that great at cartels or shooting in general but I love to mess around and have fun.  I have only ever been in 1 gang  throughout my time on Asylum which is Drunk Squad. If you have any questions please feel free to hit up my discord or find me in teamspeak. PM me about anything. If you want to chat or just get to know me my door is always open. I am here for you guys when you need me. 

     

    Best wishes

    -Mason
