Cliff.

A retired captain should not have the same authority in-game as an active captain. It's kind of weird how a captain from years before can show up and can do whatever the fuck he wants.

captains following the guidebook would be a good start

Let's just get this out of the way so we can all move on.
You guys dont listen to the community.
Armor stacking is shit.
Gang life is dead.
I'm going outside.

Hello all,
You will now need to use your email to log into the forums. Even though it gives the option for display name, it will only accept your email address. 
 
Thank you,
Mitch

First off, we appreciate your cooperation and support as we work on server performance. While we do so, here are some small additions and changes that have been asked for by the community, we do listen to your voices . Once we get the performance to an acceptable level, we will begin adding the new content we’ve been working on for all players to experience. We'd also like to welcome back @Bikstok as contributor and look forward to our development team pushing out great changes in the future!
Added the ability to claim vehicles at Chop Shop. Added 2 additional Rebel outposts. Thank you @Jbdragon for the designs. Reworked the prison, designed by @Jbdragon! Second bridge removed from the prison A second bridge will be added soon. The dynamic map system Poseidon implemented needs to be reworked or adjusted to accept objects "snapped to surface" or with pitch and yaw settings for the new Eden Editor. There is a laptop in the prison that you need to upload the virus to in order to infect the security system. The timer is now handled server side, so the player who starts it can lose connection, get killed, leave the server, etc and the prison break will continue. The APD will need to stop the prison break if possible by restoring the system at the laptop in the prison. When the map marker returns to blue, prisoners can no longer escape. Increased price of the Qilin to 50k. Increased price of the Prowler to 45k. Removed side doors on Qilins/Prowlers. Increased the price of the APD Prowler to 25k. Added ability to add additional smokes to Ifrits and Striders using the vehicle ammo item. Added vehicle ammo item to Cop shop. Added the Raven vest to Rebel outpost, Skip Tracer and UC. Added rear/side seats to the DLC cargo van. Increased price of the Suicide Vest to 80k. Increased price of the RPG round to 50k. Increased revive payout to $3500. Added MX SW to CPT+. Added MX GL (Smoke rounds only) to SGT+. Added SWAT uniform to LT+. Added Brown NVGs to UC. Removed Gendarmerie uniform from APD. Removed killer shelves from Kavala. Players can no longer sync their location while within 200m of any cartel. Tweaked downing script. Tweaked vehicles to be more resilient to non projectile damage. Removed the seat belt option and made vehicles significantly safer. Fixed a bug with red names and vehicles. Fixed an exploit with RPGs. Fixed APD talent for Hellcat. Fixed an exploit with syncing. Added an auto-locking method on the servers when FPS gets low on the server It will auto-unlock if the FPS recovers, we hope this will aide in having less crashes IMPORTANT NOTE: Some buildings (like the deer stands at the prison) will be created local to the client and not on the server. Meaning if you close the hatches on the deer stands others will see them open. So don't use them for cover. If you're unsure of if the building is client-sided or server-sided have a friend look at the building while you open/close windows. If they don't move for your friend, don't hide behind them and expect not to die... This will be adjusted when the map system is changed in the near future to accept pitch and yaw.
Hotfix #1:
Donor Rebel outpost has been added back to its original location. Now you have (6) rebels to gear up at. If you get camped, fill out a "hurt feelings" report Honor & Honor Talents should now sync properly Hotfix #2:
Decreased damage taken to player while in vehicles. Doner Kebabs will no longer make your food value be a decimal point under certain circumstances. Removed APD Prowler doors. Removed Gang Bank cap. Now all players who are in the vicinity of the prison will be charged with Prison Conspiring. Any players who decide to be broken out from jail will also now be charged with Prison Conspiring on top of Escaping Prison. Prison Break delay dropped from 45 minutes to 15 minutes. Syncing at certain zones has been fixed. An option to refill magazines at Rebel Outposts has been added. Re-added the ability to sell weapons at Firearm Factory, vehicles are still disabled. Added lethal MX SW rounds to Cop shop. Some security adjustments. Hotfix #3:
Removed role switch/server hop cooldown Fixed some exploits Magazine Refiling should now work properly at Rebel Outposts Server 3 Precinct is back to being enabled and will remain now (sorry...) Federal Reserve elevated marker will now remove at the correct time Hotfix #4:
Prison cooldown adjusted to be 30 minutes Federal Reserve hacking animation fix Fix regarding donor item(s) pickup Prestige conversion has been disabled Fixed Rodo gathering benefit Hotfix #5:
Rodo gathering benefit has been adjusted Race related content has been removed The Phone Weather button has been removed "Criminal Records" has been removed The flash on speed trap cameras has been removed Some other behind the scenes junk adjustments/removals

Effective Immediately
Any officer at the rank of Lieutenant or below are required to be in the APD Police Precinct Channels while on duty no matter what (even if with a Captain).
This change is to help bridge the gap between our lower ranking officers (the backbone of the APD) and our APD staff team.
 
Note: Moderators and Admins are exempt from this policy.

*APD CADET ANNOUNCEMENT*

Hey there @Hanzo/Dirty Scrubz, when you have a few minutes, any of our lovely Support team will be able to walk you through how to send a private message to DarkKnight to voice your concern about his Captain term. They can be reached on Discord or TeamSpeak throughout the day.

I uh.... what?

@The retard who said jumping out my car restrained wasn't against the rules

My homie @Kasim Tariq is finally back. Some of you bots don't realize how lucky you were to get destroyed by THE Kasim Tariq. This is the man who not only shot up Kavala on a daily basis, but also thwarted the APD's sub 90 IQ attempts to stop him.(Excluding @Kernikov who has a solid 95 IQ) Here's some background information on Kasim "If it's brown shoot it down" Tariq.
1. Kasim's personal max security cell made by 

2. An average encounter between Kasim and the APD @The Monopoly Man

3. Kasim vs the undesirables of altis (APD, Gangbangers, defenseless civilians,women, children, disabled, elderly, basically anyone that isn't him, (sometimes himself), etc.) @Google™ @Marzoh @Clint Beastwood @halfdrunkhero @skimancole @iBacon @Obu Obu Obu @Revenant

4. Kasim vs despicable girl gamers @BeefPatty @Cliff.

You see, because Kasim terrorizes all of Altis equally, he can't be racist. There is no way a man who routinely kills everyone, including his own gangmates, can possibly be the horrible monster that the APD and staff of Asylum make him out to be. The unfair bots who run the asylum forums have muted my boy Kasim, and I, his top man, have taken it upon myself to spread awareness for this injustice. (Kasim after being banned from forums shown below)
 
If good guys like Kasim are getting banned off the forums after simply talking shit to trashcan players on Altis, then how will the landfill known as Asylum Forums ever hope to improve?
Here is Kasim after being asked by BaDa "ChadSlayer" Bing whether or not he said the dreaded N̢͍-͎̮̖̟͔WO̠͙͡R͟D̻̣̘͍. @BaDaBiNg_10-8

Kasim is a man of the people, doing great things like calling out (BOT) Nv members for their catlike reflexes, godlike aim, dual i9 processors, and their uncanny ability to take up a fourth of the server. Kasim has also made some vast strides in humanitarian work, like calling out the APD for needing reforms, citing that they are way too easy for him to kill with his various civilian weapons such as: his prowler, literally a rock on the side of the road that the APD manage to hit every time, and his attack dog Nick Crompton (RIP). (Pictured Below)

#FreeNickCrompton
Kasim has also made further efforts to make his roleplay as realistic as possible, with many threads made to further the needs of our brave VDMer's and Combat Loggers.
All in all, I can say with confidence that now that Kasim " A bullet in the knee of every refugee" Tariq is back, Altis can finally return to the prosperity it once had before all the cool guys got banned by salty APD and not cool guy admins. (Excluding @Clint Beastwood (Kiss Me) ). 
Kasim "Slaughter the migrant caravan to the very last man" Tariq is finally back, the average IQ and attractiveness of Altis will raise without having to be carried by the likes of @Kernikov and @Clint Beastwood respectively.
 

Fuck you @Alec-I

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND A BLESSED 2019
yeah good first there mate

A lot of changes, a lot of growing and a lot of testing....
 
Cheers to everyone who is sticking with us through some difficult times.  
 
We wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2019.  
 
-Asylum Staff

I don't celebrate the Christmas so stop asking me for a present 
 
 
 
i do accept it tho 

I am Jewish and I live in Israel we don`t have Christmas over here 

On behalf on the team of staff we would like to wish everyone a happy and Merry Christmas. We appreciate the outpouring of support you have given us all over the last few weeks. 2019 will be truly spectacular!

Effective Immediately
Seizing Vehicles ($5,000+ contraband)
You may only seize a vehicle which has over $5,000 worth of contraband in it if the suspect is aggressive and/or evasive. If the suspect is compliant, does not shoot back, and cooperates fully with APD officers, you are not allowed to seize their vehicle.
Illegal vehicles will follow their usual policies.
Parole
We are implementing new rules for the parole process.
If a suspect is evasive and/or aggressive, their bounty must be between $2,500 and $25,000 to qualify for parole.
If a suspect turns themselves in outside of combat, they will be eligible for parole regardless of bounty size.
Do not issue parole to any of your gang mates, associates, or friends.
Do not issue parole to any individuals that are already on parole.  Do not pardon then reissue tickets to place them on parole.  You may be punished for it.
Note: Parole is intended to be a reward for good role play. These are the rules of parole, they are not guidelines. Any officer found to be handing out parole outside of these rules may have disciplinary action taken against them.
Blacklist Appeals
For anyone who hasn't noticed so far, the APD has added a new Blacklist Appeals section in the police application section of the forums. For the time being, if you are interested in appealing your blacklist (or know anyone who is), please submit an appeal or direct the person to submit an appeal here.
 
Effective January 1st, 2019
Corporal, Sergeant and Lieutenant Activity Requirements

Thanks for apologizing, but after reviewing your ban appeal has been denied.
You can appeal again in 2 weeks.

unacceptable
comp or ban

I would like to apologize for the rough starts this morning. 
Maybe we went a little hard with some big changes (S1 in particular) last night and caused some instability of our own. We got a bit carried away last night/this morning.  Tough part is, we don't know how it will affect everything, until nearly both servers are full.  
Don't worry though - we are getting closer every day at a very fast pace..
 
We may issue our Christmas present (change) early just as an apology.  I don't want to promise anything just yet (dev team would hate me).
 
Thanks 
CBW

Greetings Asylum!
I come bearing some long time and much-needed news. 
I’m proud to announce that Asylum is under new ownership. @Clint Beastwood and @BaDaBiNg_10-8 are your proud new owners. I couldn’t be more thrilled that members from this very community are at the helm. Greatness is coming. Let’s get into it.
First, I’d like to say that we have a new Developer @Jesse . He is a truly experienced and talented person who has graciously accepted the offer to develop for Asylum. In addition, we will be promoting @Gen. Henry Arnold @Windmere to developer. As a team, they will be working on the following items.
 
Stabilization Optimization Content   
We want to return Asylum to the Community.
 
 I have been directed to review the ban list. We would like to start new in regards. However, there will be some stipulations. 3rd party, scripting and harassment bans will still be reviewed on a case by case basis. But I will admit, we would like to see some names off that list. If you are a person who is banned under one of these listed bans. Please submit your 100th appeal and we will take a refreshed look at it with new guys at the helm. 
 I would also like to take the time to give a huge thank you to @bamf and @gnashes for their level of dedication and support over the years. I personally know of the sacrifice they gave to keep a place for us all to enjoy open. I can easily say that they are excited to see new hands at the wheel. 

Server 3 plan- We will be opening server 3 for a time period of one week. During this time, you will be responsible for moving your gear, selling houses and finishing up any loose ends. We would like to start with two servers and move from there. When our population supports the 3rd server again, we will be revisiting the idea of it. Until then, we are happy with two full servers. 

I truly look forward to the future and I am so relieved this news is finally public! It’s been a long time coming. Thanks for the support over the years.
 
-Mitch
