These notes are not overly huge, but there are a few things here that have been requested:  
Orcas and Hellcats now cost less money. The damage handler for Orcas has been removed.  BIS has allowed glass to become damaged now, so we will see how this plays in a live environment.   The damage handler for RPGs has been removed.  You pay $50k for an RPG rocket, we're going to treat it like a suicide vest in terms of boom potential (for now).   The custom damage handler for Vans has been removed since BIS tweaked how they handle damage in the Arma engine.   Putting a restrained player in a car should work better now.   You should be able to lockpick a player by scroll wheel now.   Added some additional backend logging to try to figure out why server restarts are less reliable with the current Arma patch.   We are working on some more major game enhancements in the background, but I wanted to drop a few things in tonight.  

I will be handing out free nicejobman shirts in kavala tomorrrow!

You deserved it.  You're a better person now because of that.  Thank you @Gnashes

@Gnashes publically shamed me in front of the whole admin team a little over 3 years ago when I VDM'd @Roberino's Orca in Kavala HQ.
 
 

We've made people write a 300 word essay on why we should unban them.  
 
Quite a few members actually. 

LETS FUCKING GO BOIS

Thinking I should change the news van to this

With very little time to spend on Asylum and lack of drive for the role I stepped down giving someone with more time and drive to have the chance to experience the role. Going to remain an admin though. Good luck to the next ARC members.
 

I uh.  what?

Remember he had it on Tanoa I think? Was a ball you would run up to and it would “kick” the ball towards where you were facing. 

I've asked a few times to get rid of it, I miss landing helicopters there. I think people would play Paratus' soccer thing if it was placed there too

That was a great time. I was in a rush to get off. And we were all laughing so hard that I didn't realize the ticket said 10mil and not a 100k. My fault for paying it. Everyone was fixed and they still didn't get paid for my bounty.  Good times. 
Until next time, nerds!

Remove the tower from highway. That is all.

So as many of you know, Me and @Sandwich build the latest prison, I enjoyed building this very much and would like to build more and help asylum out a bit. ( Mainly gang life ) 
What do you guys think needs the new main focus of us to start building something new? 
A few things I've heard where the following:
New HQ's New Towns ( what? )  New Rebel Outposts ( Mainly focused at a new one around Sofia but also revamping the old ones )  More cartels / New Cartels ( This goes in pair with Sofia rebel considering this allows a bunch of new spots around Sofia to open for cartels since its not longer a 1 hour drive )  New Bank Revamping the old fed Underwater Fighting area's Revamping / New Checkpoints If you think anything else is missing feel free to add it up to this list. This is what people have been telling me they want personally, Now its time for you guys to let your voice be heard. Thanks

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's been quite some time since we have changed things up on the Asylum, but I feel that now is the time to do so.  I remember when I started playing here that my favorite thing to do was to run around with friends and cause mayhem by robbing everyone in sight.  At it's core, this is a cops and robbers game.  With that being said, I give you Asylum 8.0.  
The map felt stale to me, so the 8 chain will include lots of map changes going forward.  First off, the major illegal areas (heroin, cocaine, and meth) will all rotate going forward.  While the original positions are still included, there are alternate locations for all of these activities.  That means gathering and processing can and will happen in different locations at random on each restart (kind of like cartels).  Each drug has two spots for now, and gathering and processing locations have been chosen to have similar round trip times to what they are currently.  This means that all three of drug locations could end up on the west or east side of Altis in a given server restart.  I hope you'll enjoy the new locations, and I also hope you'll enjoy a chance to rob people again as they try the new spots out.  
Another thing that I have always felt we were lacking was the ability to manufacture drugs in other remote locations of the map, so we are introducing the mobile meth (crank) lab.  Crank is a new illegal item added into the game that is manufactured via an RV that is purchasable at Rick's RV shop in Sofia, as well as both chop shops.  Crank is made of all the same ingredients as meth, but is not quite as potent - and therefore not worth quite as much.  Take your ingredients and RV to a remote location, and do your best Walter and Jessie impression.  Be aware though that processing crank has risks - your RV will send smoke into the air, and the smoke means that you can be killed by the rival drug lords on the island.  The RV has a slightly larger trunk than a box truck, so while RVs can certainly be used to manufacture crank - it doesn't necessarily mean that the vehicle is being used for illegal activities.  Make sure to thank @Phantom Viper for doing the skin for the new RV!
The Altis government finally got funding to build a second bridge to the island near Pyrgos, and with that they have decided to move the prison back to that island.  There is new construction on the island, but the method for breaking people out of the prison remains unchanged.  Hack the power, lock pick the doors, hack the computer, and open up those gates.  @TheCrestedPenguin did the new prison design - make sure to thank him for his efforts to get the prison back where the community wanted it.  (Note: Prison guards now spawn across the street and not behind you)
Are you a good helicopter pilot?  Do you like sling loading large vehicles?  If so, then say hello to an old friend - the Taru.  If you want to fly the Taru though, you will need Rotorlib (with Stress Damage) enabled.  If you don't have what it takes, don't sit in the pilot or co-pilot seat of a Taru.  
APD officers, are you tired of the light system you have on your cars?  If so, you'll be happy to know that the APD has upgraded it's light system substantially.  Thank Lt. @Destrah for helping the government find the funding to get new lights!   (Note: press Tab while driving to bring up the new light controls)
Other additions etc: 
The Asylum Exchange has been brought back.  Since this doesn't seem to be the cause of the BE kicks, and the game server is now 64-bit - we will give this another shot.   Bounties will be persistent going forward.  Bounty hunters will have the ability to drop a bounty every 5 minutes. Spike strips can now be instantly deployed via the hotkey. The scroll wheel option has been disabled as a result. Additionally, spike strips can be thrown from a vehicle, which will result in the spike strip being placed behind your vehicle. Multi-color Smokes/Chemlights in cop shops Fixed redburger talent Binocs now properly show UC names Added a boat shop and garage to DP10 Various bug and exploit fixes One final thing, Anthony Kiedis is a big fan of Kavala
Hotfix 1:
Starting up the lab on an RV will now allow you to process and access trunks and crates without having to soft log etc. Chem lights should be available for both cops and civs now Hotfix 1a:
Fixed a few exploits related to crank Crank can no longer be cooked inside industrial sheds Hotfix 2:
Exploit fixes related to crank production SWAT spawn points changed for new prison location Destrah made a few additional tweaks to cop lights Hotfix 3:
Weed should now spawn and be able to be gathered again (oops) Fixed additional exploits in the crank system Hotfix 4:
Additional crank exploit fixes The crank lab now persists through restarts as a crank lab (and not a box truck)  
Hotfix 5:
The Strife server has been brought back online.   Server driven events will fire on the Altis islands drafting you to war in Strife on Tanoa.  Go play Strife for 15 minutes or more, and you will receive $20,000 in bonus pay. Level 4 donors may now purchase and wear the Wetsuit [CSAT].  

APD POLICY CHANGES
Since officers have not been able to show self-restraint, Officers are no longer able to use checkpoint items inside of Police HQS. They are to be used only for police checkpoints from this point forward. The minimum bounty amount required to HVT a suspect has been raised from 25 to 50k.  If you have any questions regarding these changes, feel free to contact a Captain
Thank you

1.  We have logs that tell us everyones EXACT money before money is given to them.  Basically reverted.
2. Some people may have bought a house within the 30 seconds to 1 minute the scripted money was put in their accounts.  Doubt it makes any difference because I will take what was in their account.  If they bought a house/vehicle I take that too.
 
This isnt the first time this has happened.  Takes like 2-3 minutes of clean up.  EZPZ

Play time requirement removed Question reguarding server rules has been added

As many can tell I have been very inactive lately.  Work has been kicking my ass like normal, but I got accepted into a new assignment and have even more to learn and do.  I truly enjoy working with the community and helping to keep the servers progressive and safe, but I also know that I am currently taking up a spot that someone else who is more active could fill.  I do not want to leave the community and hope my reputation with the staff and the player base would allow my return in the future.
This weighs very heavy on my heart and seriously bums me out, but the team does not need afk admins.  Along with the many frustrations that come with admin responsibilities I have learned a tremendous amount about the backend of gaming and what it takes to run a server.  The staff has been great to work with and I hope that my errors and technical shortcomings have not caused them too much stress and heartache. This is an amazing community and I will still see many people around in TS and in the servers.
Thank you everyone for all the laughs and good times. Feel free to hit me up anytime if you need anything.

Hello guys, Mike Santamaria here,
 
In an effort to stay in touch and easier reach with the community, I decided to officially change my name to Jaeger, expecting this will make everyone easier to tag me instead of having to look through all the different Mikes that are out there as I noticed sometimes i miss stuff because the guy tagged that should be me is someone else. You will find me under this name everywhere, TeamSpeak, Discord, Forums and even In-game
If you have any administrative action taken by me that I need to look into please tag me with this new name as it should be the fastest way to get in touch with me.
 
Have a good one.

Great news! The compensation payout just became quicker, as in almost instantly! Now when an admin approves your request they have the ability to add money to your account right away. If you are online the money will be added to your Asylum Exchange mailbox! If you are offline it will be added to your bank accounts! No more waiting in TS! 
***Those already accepted should hop on TS or contact an admin to ask if they could add the funds.
