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

Just gonna leave this here.  🙂
 
 

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.

An update will go live in ~50 minutes that will disable the evidence lockup robbery. Due to continued and consistent starting and completion of this event and it's broken nature we've decided to temporarily disable it until we have it reworked. We are aiming to have it reworked and in with the quests update early July.
We also fixed undercover cops spawning with titles and having their swat level attached to them...

Thanks for understanding.

Needs to be more memetages like this, much more fun to watch

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. 

There goes the neighborhood. Who’s making these decisions. Mason as a CM ? 🤣

I might come back soon. Life’s too short to spend it glued to a computer screen. 
For the record @Mason is a good guy/admin, I was only giving him shit. I’m sure he will make a great CM. Congrats Mason. 

Ds is taking over confirmed.

I'm not locking the thread. I think you all have legitimate concerns. I think there are multiple areas of the APD that could use improvement. Unfortunately I do not have all the answers and I am not in control of the APD.

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.

Removed lethal payouts and pardon. --Thank you,i think higher bounties will be a thing now an maybe be a benefit down the road.Also hope it don't make cops even more lethal happy then they are.
Added autorun via custom action 5, supports swimming too.--Thank god this is a thing.
Moved shotguns to rebel only,  made both illegal and unable to cap cartels.--How come this was moved? Cartel thing makes sense,but why remove em from city gun stores?
Changed bounty hunter jailing to only be allowed at Skiptracer/Prison, no longer possible inside cities and Therisa.--This kinda hurts bounty hunters,taking it out of therisa isn't bad but the other cities its kinda puts a crutch on the solo/smaller groups that try.
Added an additional toggle for earplug volume, toggling between full, your custom setting, and half of your custom setting.--Some of you people are just ungrateful
Added group member names under hexes when the tilde key is pressed, last 5 seconds.--Pretty sweet if tilde works lol

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. 😄
