I sometimes sit and think about you all, I might be driving or sitting in a train, or something. I need you to read and re-read what I am saying here. Don't take anything the wrong way. And it's not as weird as it may sound. A big part of me, it is Altis Life. It runs in my blood, every rock and building, bank, fed. Altis is my gal, sure she is a bit banged up, a few things are busted. But I am still crazy about her. I don't like it when people mistreat her, or talk her down, or try to hurt her. It gets me a bit.....upset. I don't "own" her, that's not what I mean. I just care. And I know all of you. Your likes, dislikes, the gang your in, the gang you were in before that, and the one before THAT, the worst thing you have done on the server, and the best. Your my guys, and even if your naughty, you break the rules...I still care. I am never "angry", or "hate you." If you dissapointed me, I will get over it. If you hate me, for whatever reason and want to tell anyone that will listen I am a jerk, well, that's up to you. Maybe I have to ban you. I don't like doing that. But I will. Ever since @LuckyB33f put Altis Life Admin on me I have worked. Hard. 30-40 hours a week is about average, more if it's in crisis. And I love it. I really do. I promise him I would treat her nice, and not disrespect her. Then I asked, and got Zeus. And oh MY we have had some fun. There are people I have put time into that have grown, as men, as staff, as leaders. I like that. Always back yourself, I see that in you all. One guy I had to kick off my SRT team, just, so angry, and I couldnt reach him, and he hated me, I knew he did, but I had to tell him "No.". Having hard conversations is hard, but the easy path is not one I like to take. And now? Well we talk every day. He is a different guy. None of this is me claiming their wins, it's just talking out loud. If you want to do something and I can help, come talk to me. If you need something to make something, come talk to me. I am happiest in a room full of excited Altians. I have heaps of them that at one point they disliked me. Now, we all talk all the time. Some are Cops. Sometimes you guys frustrate me. I am working on that, but given I usually have 20 people who need 5 minutes of time, and 6 TS chats open I am planning to make some "me" time, to play. I miss my Cop playtime. It's important to me, I haven't played in a week as I write this. So if I seem a bit vague or snappy, my bad. Cop is frustrating as well, trolls, criminals, meta gamers. I still love it. And my Cops need me. I am also very, very used to an accountable and professional workspace IRL. People do what they say they will. I thrive on that, and being challenged in a role, and being able to steer a project. Micro managing kills me. I have always liked people. I understand them. I can take someone that's screaming and make them....calm. I can have them pumped up to wage wars, or do anything. I have all the time in the world. If you live on Altis, Hi, I am Spectral. I am the Altis Life Admin. Together with Zomboid, we will be moving forward with rule tweaking, new bank post to tell you timers, requests on RP setups. Big thanks to Roger for being beside me. He and I will always be mates. Do I want to go Global? Big question, because I don't know. And noones asked. It's human nature to want to be told your doing well and you don't get that feedback here much. Players are more likely to say they are upset. My Boss IRL knows I thrive on that shit. And challenges. Goals. Anyway, that's all I have for now. If you love me, right back at you. If you hate me, well either I need to work harder or stop caring. Or you need to get over it. Pointless drama and power struggles..? Boring. Because none of it means anything. Plus I work with 90 guys who all want my job IRL. . Some people here I think, just don't like me because of the amount of people that DO. True story. Anyhow, that's all. I am Spectral, Spec, The Commish, and you can count on me. Lets go, the magic and fun, the growth, it's over here. I know the way. -Spec

Invade & Annex Server Rules These rules are enforced in addition to our Community Guidelines. These rules may be changed at any time without warning. If you have any issues, queries or comments, feel free to get in touch with a staff member These rules are subject to the discretion of our staff. General 1. Hacking and mission exploitation will not be tolerated. 2. Advertising of other communities will not be tolerated. 3. Intentional teamkilling/team-damaging will not be tolerated. 4. Excessive, unintentional teamkilling may result in a kick/temp ban. 5. Unnecessary destruction of BLUFOR vehicles will not be tolerated. 6. Hate speech, racism, discrimination, abuse, and bullying is strictly prohibited within our community. (This includes telling a pilot they suck) 7. Firing a weapon on base--unless at an enemy--may result in a kick/temp ban. 8. Artillery/mortar/CAS use must follow the Rules of Engagement (ROE) at all times https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/topic/15329-ia-jetcasartillery-roe/ 9. Griefing and obstructive play will not be tolerated. This includes stealing another player's vehicle or equipment. 10. This is a co-op server. Exclusive play, such as teamkilling another group at Side missions or calling it for your own group, will not be tolerated. 11. Players wishing to use rewards gained from successfully completing Side Missions must ask the player/group who completed the mission if it is okay to do so. The reward is forfeited if 15 minutes have passed since the reward was issued. 12. Where applicable, you should try your best to perform the duties of your chosen class - medics are expected to revive and treat incapacitated/injured players, engineers are expected to repair vehicles, etc. Failure to do so can result in removal from the role. 13. A staff member's decision is final. If you disagree with a decision or believe it was made in error, please do not abuse our staff members, instead submit a ticket on our Discord. 14. If you encounter any issues or see someone breaking the rules, do not take matters into your own hands. Please submit a support ticket on our Discord and include any evidence you have (screenshots, video, etc.) - one of our staff will resolve your issue as soon as possible. Communications Voice and text chat 1. Spamming comms will not be tolerated. 2. Arguing on comms will not be tolerated. 3. Shouting/screaming/ear-rape/soundboarding on comms will not be tolerated. 4. Excessive conversation irrelevant to the game or by non-pilots in the Discord Aviation channel will result in your removal from the channel. Pilots have priority over other players in this channel. 5. Music is allowed in vehicle/direct chat but must be turned off if requested. Aviation Pilots have their own specialised roles, therefore they come with additional responsibilities. If you have any issues with a pilot, please report the player to a staff member. Pilots must ensure that they are not flying over or near Side Missions that can trigger a timer or cause the enemy to change to an alert state. Heli pads 1-4, the Medevac pad, and the grassed area are to be used as a staging area for passenger transport helis & VTOLs ONLY. Grassed area may also be used as an emergency landing area if required. It is in the best interest of pilots to call their movements when flying around base (e.g Crossing runways, Landing Pad 2/Dusting Pad 2). This should prevent confusion and accidental crashes at base. Please note that pilots are not obliged to follow instructions from a person playing as ATC (Air Traffic Controller), it is up to each pilot if they wish to comply or not. If we determine your piloting skills to be incredibly subpar or disruptive to other players (including in Discord), you may be blacklisted from the role. 1. All pilots and the UAV operator MUST be on our Discord server--in the correct Aviation channel--and communicative. Your microphone can be muted but your speakers must be unmuted at all times. Exception if Discord is down or full. 2. You MUST be a pilot to fly an aircraft. If you are a non-pilot and there are less than 20 players on the server, then you may fly a helicopter in co-pilot. If there are over 20 players: Non-pilots may fly a Hummingbird to and from Side mission only. Pilots are not permitted to fly the Hummingbird located northeast of base (at 'Side' base). Non-pilots are not permitted to fly the Hummingbird(s) at main spawn. 3. Please respect the Discord pilot queue by checking Aviation channel chat. This is done by typing "P1, P2" for Transport Pilots and, "F1, F2" for Fighter Pilots. If you jump the queue, you will be removed from the slot. If someone has jumped the queue in front of you, inform a staff member. Delete your post once you have received a slot. If a pilot's game crashes, it is up to the next pilot in the queue whether they take the slot or wait for the previous pilot to return. 4. At server restart, the pilot slots are first in, first served. Your position in the queue is irrelevant. If you are waiting in the queue near restart time, try your best to get a slot at restart or continue waiting. In the event of a server crash or unscheduled restart, pilots retain their slots where possible. 5. CAS pilots and UAV operators must follow the ROE at all times https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/topic/15329-ia-jetcasartillery-roe/ 6. Only 1 pilot is allowed per aircraft. Exception is if a pilot has requested evac. 7. Transport pilots must land their aircraft on one of the marked pads on the apron at main spawn. If all pads are occupied, find a suitable place to land nearby, such as the grassed area behind the pads. Pilots must give priority to all aircraft needing the Medevac pad. It shall remain clear unless all other marked pads are occupied, or if needed for a priority tasking. The Vehicle Transport Blackfish is to be used to transport vehicles and supply crates ONLY. Transportation of troops in the Vehicle Blackfish is not permitted unless they are in a loaded vehicle. The Vehicle Transport Blackfish is not permitted to land on or near Helipads and must use the Airlift Pad located on the taxiway near runway 22R/04L. All Vehicle and Cargo transport must be loaded from the Airlift pad. 8. Pilots must not play as infantry while in a pilot slot. This includes completing, or attempting to complete, infantry objectives (e.g. Radio Tower, CSAT Commander). Pilots can wait a maximum of 5 minutes for repairs/evac. 9. You must be able to fly AND LAND any aircraft with reasonable competence. If you do not have experience in any aircraft, you may be asked to leave the role. 10. This is a public server. Aircraft are not private/reserved transport. A pilot’s primary role is to provide timely, efficient, and indiscriminate transport of players, vehicles, and cargo to and from objectives for all players. 11. If you are an inexperienced pilot, please consider the time and enjoyment of others. The editor is there for a reason. If you see any player in violation of the above rules, contact a staff member on Discord by submitting a support ticket, or typing !admin ingame.

Intense stuff. I saw this one come up on Facebook a wee while ago. In Russia they have this sport called a 'Tank Biathlon', which, understandably consists of racing tanks. One of these drivers decided to go a little heavy on the gas pedal and ended up completely flipping the thing.

G'day Alterians! Want some feedback and suggestions, within the role play story of Altis. What do you want out of your Altis Life Experience? Leave a comment below, and tell us, at the end of the day, we are making this for you guys, each and everyone of you, so we can guarantee the best experience on our servers Cheers Guys! @Spectral @Zomboid

Hi all my name is Medium i am a gamer in my mid 20's. Due to my work schedule I will tend to appear to be around for a few day for many hours a day then be gone for a week. At preset I am playing on the Altis life Server working towards EMT white listing. From what I have seen so far this is a rather mature community that can handle a joke here and there. I look forward to Getting to know more members of the community as my play time with you increases. Cheers, Medium

Hi all, Found the server for Invade and annex and thought the community was pretty top notch so here I am. I am 21 year old gamer based in New Zealand (your friendly oversea nabor). Just started playing Arma 3, mostly into RTS and Grand strategy games but its time to push the boundaries. Hope to play with as many of you on the battlefield as possible.

I'm not really good for introductions so give me a break guys ;). I'm fairly new to this community and loving it. I'm Deluxe anyway, some people might have already seen me in-game and others might have not noticed, but I am currently into the A3 Altis life server, I'm 18 years of age and a full time worker, I try to be active as much as I can to spend time with the roleplay scenario because it's great. anyway like I said, I'm not good with introductions, but I hope to see all of you ingame to encounter a good roleplay aspect, thanks all. ~Deluxe

Been here for just over 6 months i think. Spectral brang everyone together through his events and just being there for us. From all ages and all maturity levels, What he has done for us we can only thank him for. All the best Spectral! Keep your head held high. Thankyou for everything you have done!

I think we are getting a bit ahead of the original Idea. It's not to have "more/better" equipment ect. But rather our own that are locked from the broader public. We could, for example, have 2 tanks, 4 jeeps, a bobcat & maybe a LB or Ghost hawk. Plus a couple of our own AI & a deck chair out the front of the hangar. Maybe even a repair pad & the "Area 51" would be here too. We could either spawn at the regular spawn or spawn at the hangar for that "Elite Squad" feel. But none of the equipment (Baring the deck chair) would be different from the others.

You were a bloody legend man you will always be remembered! Best of luck for the future! Regards,

we all love you spec and altis wouldnt be the same without u i look forward to seeing u everyday and i love u dearly we all do ur an amazing bloke

Personally, the only reason I invest in A3 is for its near "realism" to past and current ADF in the middle east etc, incl ability, equipment & textures, rather than futuristic/imaginary high gloss concepts that "may" never eventuate in real life. Plenty of other options out there to appease that audience.

Only thing I would like is a Miners Guild/Co-operative? A Chance for fellow minded miners to meet in game and try some informal group mining runs? Rebels/Crims etc excluded from joining/listening? My most successful mining runs have been when I have stumbled across fellow existing acquaintances and we have teamed up spur of the moment. When I have been solo mining I always walk past people wondering if they would like to go for a mining run, but too afraid of who's ears might be listening

Yea I and prob many have experienced this (big in the AL community), whitelisted have all equipment available to them, sometimes varies/tiered depending on how much is donated, the others are restricted to low/med equipment (encouraged to donate). Perhaps until they've been signed off by an instructor no one can fly anything bigger than a hummy, less troops he/she can kill. "Subscribing" (in advance) for a separate #2 server basically means those who choose to are funding/covering its running costs, can choose to join #1 or #2 anytime, likely won't use #2 when its quiet/no one in it etc. However, during peak times when #1 is near full etc, only those whitelisted can get away from, well chaos is one word, can jump in #2. When the guys I know & myself (our squad) have our regular/planned meetup a few times each week we would jump on #2, utilising a full service rather than trying our luck hosting our own.

I really don't have any complaints and/or suggestions other than the constant hackers and the stability/performance issues. Admin team is A+ and there's a great community of RPers ensuring there's never a dull moment.

Removing the fishing pots from Sydney PD (Working On that myself on Eden) Sydney Police Department Recreation room Removing a majoring of the broken/Abandoned buildings in the major towns (Hard work, but worth it at the end) Firing range where all guns 7.62mm and under are allowed to be used without the cops caring More Clothing (Rebel And Civilian, see my previous suggestions) Advanced Crafting (More items to craft) Sydney Nightclub with Music Purchasable furniture packages for houses Buffing houses so they aren't made pointless by vehicles. I'll edit this when more ideas pop

A black market where all the craftable items can be brought but for a high amount to make it hard to get items, A shooting range, for shooting comps Maybe another way to get gold for the people that cannot actually get gold More clothing Other then that, Its pretty F****** amazing at the moment Minus the random crashing

Being able to help people, and having the community together to have some laughs and a good time.

Nice and Tidy
