Already got some gears moving in regards to this. He’s definitely one to look out for. I recall his distaste for Asylum yeaaaaarrrssss ago but maybe that’s changed since. You never know! We’ll have to see I guess 🙏🏼

I've tried this before and have brought it up to some of the SA's over the last year a few times. Doing something like this is a good start and doesnt technically require any budget if only giving in game items.
TLDR: Streamers get creator codes to allow new people or anyone to use a specific code in game. 
 
If anyone's interesting in more of what I talked about, here's the Doc I drafted.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lnGvxaz5uxP_Iwy5hHEjz5IypPcKGI3ZBcACXSKctj8

if this is something that gets pursued, i could talk to psisyn about it, he's still averaging about 20k views. this wouldn't be free though, i've gotten him to promote a gmod server before but cant recall the price he wanted, but he was also much more popular back then

Gang Wars again would be nice. I remember when I was tasked to stream it back in like 2017. That was a great time that saw 300-400 viewers which was insane even for that periods viewership. I wouldn't even mind helping out with that again with other streamers alike. First one that comes to mind is someone like @zdeatHim and I could be commentators. That was my role in that Gang War all the way back and it was super fun. With admins too and the owner.

Not only that but you need to some how market your product. I understand the game is dead. But there's still about 7,000-10,000 people that play Arma daily. There's still some hope to reach out to new people that've never played the server or even returning players to some degree. If you have a product that only relies on word of mouth to market, your product will never see the light of day. There needs to be someone who reaches out to content creators, streamers, etc. Some sort of plan. Maybe with a small budget to help promote the server with these creators. 

I've done the research as a successful creator myself and there's still hope with some specific streamers and youtubers that could possibly give the server a try. It's a slim chance, but making plans with these creators during an awesome server update with good timing could see GREAT results for people wanting to try it out. The Youtube scene for Arma 3 still gets great views, with a good bit still around entertaining Role Play-like videos. The Streaming scene still gets alright views with a few stand out streamers that do RP-like stuff. 

I'd love to work with upper staff to try to make this happen. I've been apart of Asylum for over 9 years now. I'm a creator that to some degree is bigger than 80% of the ARMA creators (400k on youtube, 500k on tiktok, almost 100 million total views over my career, etc). Let me be your leverage to try to help bring some eyes to your product here. I'm retired from the APD so I have all the time in the world to help focus up with marketing and everything with you guys. I cant escape this community. I come back every now and then. I'd love to make another appearance but this time make a difference with the whole server, rather than just the APD ♥️

I'm down to try if you are. @Rogue@HunterB@Akula

I just posted this on another topic but it fits here aswell
 
Just to put this out there
 
This server was created as a cops and robbers kind of deal and lets face it most of the APD has always been out geared
The current problem is that when cops fight these events 1 after the other the moral and will power of wanting to go there die 10x drops and people leave when cops leave the civs who where only online to fight the cops leave and the server drops in population rather quickly, The more you remove from the APD the less likely the cops are going to want to fight, going in there free loadout for the 2x manditory lives given and just bouncing or just mass login off the server everytime an event pops (this is happining after events now)
With out cops the server has no pop at all as people will get bored if there is no risk in doing anything
 
And i understand if a small group was robbing the bank they would get annoyed that 4 ifitrs slammed them but isn't that the price you pay for doing a federal event as robbing the bank or doing another federal event isn't supose to be easy

Community meetings in discord helped a lot about year ago. Aside from the stupid things, I feel like some good things come out of everybody getting a chance to voice their opinion at the same time. It helps people settle on decisions and really displays the impact an idea may have on the community.

This is a big one that should be a thing. I remember when Clint would randomly give hints on future content in discord to build some hype in the community. Ask the community what they want, stop putting in stuff no one asked for or you know no one would like. Bring back some cartel life, its a cops and robber server now and that gets old for both sides fairly quickly. I've seen gang wars brought up tons of times with no response or "it takes a lot of planning". 

On the APD side, I frequently see significantly reduced tickets and pardons for players with the “New Player” flag. Roleplay has gone down over the years, including within the APD. The roleplay aspect might not have an answer besides individually pushing fellow old dogs to increase it- @DarkKnight interested to see if you’d think it could work. I’m inclined to agree with some others that Athira is not a good city to have at the top of the civ spawn list. That’s not to say that Kavala was free from frequent deaths to new players, but it was a different player type distribution in a sense.

A breakdown of possible solutions within that roadmap:
1. Increased Transparency and Communication:
Implement regular updates from Asylum Staff Management to keep the community informed about changes, events, and future plans. 2. Enhanced Community Engagement:
Organize more community events, tournaments, and activities to foster a sense of camaraderie and competitiveness among players. Encourage active participation in the forums and discord to keep the conversation going and strengthen our bonds as a community. 3. Strengthening Staff team:
Improve staff training to ensure consistent enforcement of rules and fair resolution of disputes across the board. Staff to be more involved in the server in terms of engagement with old players and new players. 4. Revitalizing Leadership Engagement:
Possibly have more active involvement by scheduling regular "town hall" style meetings or Q&A sessions where all players can directly have conversation with us and the owner. Explore opportunities for Asylum Staff to collaborate with community leaders and influencers to gather feedback and ideas for improving the server experience. These are just some ideas of course.

Big announcement, two weeks.

Dear Asylum Community,
First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for being an important part of our community for so long. Your dedication and passion have helped shape Asylum into the vibrant community it is today.
However, it has come to our attention that some players are not satisfied with the current state of the server. We hear you, we are committed to addressing your concerns, and making necessary improvements. With that being said, I would like to outline a roadmap of ideas for the future, and I warmly welcome your suggestions and feedback through this post.
1. Increased Transparency and Communication:
2. Enhanced Community Engagement:
3. Strengthening Staff team:
4. Revitalizing Leadership Engagement:
We get it, leadership on our part has not been the greatest.  I know this post doesn’t immediately fix anything, but we can and will do better going forward as the players of this community are our top priority.  We are planning to have a staff meeting this weekend and discuss current concerns and what we need to change to move forward.
Thank you for being a part of our community, and let's work together to make Asylum an even better place for everyone.
Sincerely,
The Senior Admins

Added:
Processor Attachment New vehicle modification "Processor Attachment" Can be added to any land vehicle to process the items in the vehicles inventory When within 50m of the processor, scroll-wheel on truck to "Process X with device" Will begin ONE BIG PROCESS ACTION, if you escape out of it you must start again. Only processes one type of item at a time, I.E, Uncut Diamonds get processed at a different time than copper ore, each scroll option is a different process. Unfortunately the truck is not as efficient with processing illegal items, a small percentage of items may be lost in the mechanism, even if you own the cartel. Each Vehicle has a different processing speed, the larger the truck, that faster they process. Offroad, Sport, SUV, Prowler, Qilin (Same as by hand) Box Truck, Fuel Truck, Van Cargo, Van Passenger (Moderately faster) Zamak Covered, Zamak Flatbed, Zamak Box (Cooking with steam here) HMMT Fuel, HMMT Transport, HMMT Box (Oh baby here we go) Tempest Transport, Tempest Fuel, Tempest Ammo, Tempest Device (FAST AS FUCK BOIII) Any vehicles not mentioned here are as fast per item as by hand. Vehicle Waterproofing New handling upgrades for cars and helicopters Make the hull of the vehicle waterproof (so it floats) Waterproof upgrades includes the highest respective handling tier While I would still not advise driving into the ocean, this upgrade will let your cars/helis bob along the surface. AKA Helicopters won't explode if they hit the water. Turf Activation Turfs can now be activated for capture Scroll wheel on the flag and "Activate Turf" 1 Minute timer to activate capturability of the turf. Turf will be capturable for 15 minutes or until someone captures it Turfs will still pop randomly within the server restart 15 Minute cooldown between captures Doubled range around the flag where you can go while capturing New Turf Buffs Panagia : 10% increase for selling at Wongs in Athira. Rodopoli: 10% increase for selling at Drug in Athira. Zaros: 10% increase for selling at Jewelry Store in Kavala. Prestige Rework We are changing the way the prestige system currently works with weapons on our servers.   You will no longer poof a weapon if you do not have the appropriate prestige tier Weapons will be able to be purchased from rebel with appropriate tier, or crafted for significantly cheaper. If you currently have Tier 1, you will automatically be given a Tier X token the next time you respawn, sell it at Ivan's Gas Mart to activate. Else you can buy a Tier X token at Ivan's GasMart, sell it back to the NPC to activate the tier. Tier X does not require a successful National HQ robbery **NOTES ON PRESTIGE SUPPRESSORS We are going to test out the implementation of suppressors on our servers. These items will be treated as tier-locked items. You will not be able to pick one up if you do not have the appropriate tier *****If you have one currently in a house, and try to pick it up without a tier it will drop on the ground, and you won't be able to pick it back up**** Suppressors are not able to be stored in houses (even with respective tier) We will continue to re-evaluate these measures as time goes on.

Changed:
Wealth Tax  Minimum amount in bank to incur a wealth tax $2,500,000 -> $5,000,000 Chop/Claim Values (Cop/Civ) All vehicles have had their chop/claim prices adjusted - all vehicles now chop for 60% of their base value instead of random magical numbers.

We are adding a lot of new vehicles, weapons, and attachments to our servers in order to provide out player base with an evolving Asylum experience.  Any/all of these new additions may be tweaked/removed/buffed in the future.  If this is done we will of course offset any losses associated with such removals.
**END OF DISCLIAMER**
 
Reworked the Following: Prestiging
Changing the way that prestiging actually works on the back and front ends After a successful Nikolai's/NUHQ robbery, 2 of each token will spawn on the ground inside the vault With the token needed in your inventory, Decrypt the Drive at the laptop inside the vault This will start a 15 seconds process to decrypt the vault After completing this it will take your money, the token, and activate the tier rewards You can only decrypt one token each event You can drop them and give them to other people, but you cannot store them in a house or car. We are doing this so there is additional functionality behind this system in the future.  This is being included in a hotfix to see how it goes before additonal implementation. Fixed:

Effective Immediately
SGT+ will be allowed to deploy SWAT officers to cities/HQ’s during extreme circumstances under the following stipulations:
The highest ranking officer (SGT+) on duty is solely responsible for activating SWAT and will assume command of the entire situation until SWAT is deactivated. Failure of the activating officer to command and direct the entire situation will result in severe repercussions. A set amount of SWAT officers will be deployed depending on civilian count in the cities and must report directly to the SWAT deploying officer as well as adhering to standard SWAT policies. Failure to follow the command and direction of the SWAT activating officer will result in severe repercussions.
 
The SGT+ may currently authorize SWAT officers for the following situations:
HQ Defense
Having a suspect in custody worth 200k+. Can not be used for someone who has turned themselves in.
HQ is being actively assaulted by 3+ civilians
Riot Control
Any Suspect(s) involved must be using high caliber weapons 6.5+ or explosives
Inability to bring stability to a city after 3+ attempts with 5+ suspects identified
Once SWAT is called, a crate of illegal loot will spawn inside of the city and officers will be required to attempt to gain control of that crate once it is unlocked. An LT+ may call for officers to disregard the crate allowing civilians to obtain the crate uncontested from officers. (If a call to disregard the crate is made, a message must be sent to the active captains on why that call was made.)
Once the SWAT activating situation has been handled (per the activating officers discretion) all SWAT officers must be deactivated.
Casino/Athira Entertainment Policy
The Casino/Entertainment Center will be off limits for on-duty APD officers. However, officers are allowed to go to Casino/Entertainment center with legitimate reason, such as: 
Active Visual Pursuit
Rescue a kidnapped officer
Once officers arrive at the location they may only retrieve the suspects involved. They may not restrain anyone else at the Location, you may only apprehend the suspects involved in the active visual pursuit and the suspects involved in the kidnapping.

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!
