Hi Lads, We've had some bans issued by the staff team recently that we don't wish to issue but it was a must. So I thought I would write something for all of the community, about the community and something for us all to dwell on. Your Community is a community built by you the Players / Staff and Developers. This is a place where you can join after having a big day at school or work or a place you can escape the world we live in. It is a place where you can become someone else. On this Community, I am LuckyB33f, Founder of Straya Gaming. But in real life I am Jason, The Handyman/Storeman/whateverelsemytitleis. This is the same as my Managers, Admins and Mods. We are here to become something else and not who we always are. Our private life is to stay private. As that isn't who we are on here. If you want to be a troll then that is fine but you'll find yourself out of the community faster and less enjoyable. We as a community must continue to grow as we grow more servers, We have plenty of options for the future, We will need more people able to help make new game servers who are dedicated. You all as a community will look back at this one day and say I helped build this community when it was only small. Right now we are the largest Arma3 community in Australia. We started as 5 players. Look at us now. I truly can say this has been one of the best experiences i have had in my life so far (the army was overrated). And we are just getting started lads. Cheers LuckyB33f

Hi guys After posting on the shut box about my mate passing away I thought I would post some pic's for you guys that are interested. Jasper aka J 2010-2017 Only a few days old The day he came home with us About 2-3 yrs old The day his life changed forever @ 3yrs old. He slipped a disc. Had an operation within hrs but he never did walk again. Lost most of his movement in his back legs. This summer I started taking him out suping he loved it. He had a life jacket and sat at my feet. The wife never did get to come out with us so we did not get a photo of us in action. In his wheels he was totally happy no pain love spinning around in these. He would chase the kangaroo's around the house and have a ball. He died the other day from heat stroke. It makes it so much harder knowing we stuffed up miss read the weather and he was at home for 3hrs on his own when it happened.

Note: There may be 1 or 2 more updates including features, then after that it will only be hotfixes and other things that may be requested by the community or staff. Added: A script that shows who is sitting in your vehicle and it what seat. A better earplug script with intervals. A legal gold bar that does not add you to the wanted list when sold. A person driving a vehicle without keys can not enter a SZ. Vehicle loading. Removed: Tactical Ping Modified: Only gang leaders can withdraw gang funds. Improved the status bar. Animation jitter. Changed some animations. Changed the SG logo from the white one to the grey and black one. Map Edits: Moved Government Building. Fixed the cop vehicle spawn at Sydney Moved the SRT Base Extended Sydney Market and moved the vehicle spawn. Moved the jail vehicle garage. Moved Federal Reserve.

+1, Unit approves Being a member of strayagaming has opened many opportunities for me, its given me a chance to develop myself and my skill sets, take on a active staff position and be apart of a gathering of unique individuals; that are from different backgrounds and have different stories to tell. It is my hope that our community will continue to grow and thrive, and my dream that we become a recognised portal for all people around Australia to gather and commune, be it server related, or for every day chat. What an easier way to find and make friends than a community thats members share the same interests as you. Peace out! Great community, Great staff :3

Loving all the work you guys put in, the community and staff is forever greatful! Much love to all the developers.

I've not been in this community for long, only a few months, so I thought I'd offer my thoughts as a fresh perspective. Also, since LuckyB33f did it, I'm a Mid-30's IT Manager called Travis so any military game is very far removed from my real life! StrayaGaming is in my opinion one of the most developed and welcoming Australian gaming communities I've been part of, even with the diverse range of ages in the community. While some may argue this point, in my experience the general level of maturity in SG players is higher than many other communities I've been in before. I see the staff in StrayaGaming giving more of a damn about the servers and community than I've seen in other communities I have been part of. I've regularly seen (I'm a semi-regular I&A Pilot/Medic/AT, sometimes Wasteland cannon fodder, and occasional Rust player) Mods and Admins educate and counsel new players on the rules in a way that is often quite polite and respectful. I've also seen the Mods and Admins be quite patient with players ignoring rules then enforcing the rules when needed. It's not all perfect obviously, as someone learning to play Rust I was saddened to see the server activity drop off rapidly at the end of the year. But overall this is a great community. But don't take my word for it, and don't take what you have for granted. Contribute, engage and support StrayaGaming.

Bit of an update on this, kinda forgot to do it. The test showed that without the serverside TFAR modules, we can't customise anything within it and it causes issues. One of which is that vehicles that aren't Blufor have different radios that can't communicate with the rest of the team. If the modules are used, then it can no longer be an optional mod and everyone must have it to connect; which is not what we want. I don't believe there is a point in using TFAR unless everyone is using it anyway. The ideal solution would be to have two servers like Artorias/Nova said, but at the moment we don't believe the player base is large enough to sustain both servers. Currently, there are no plans for any future tests. We might host small Zeus missions with TFAR and other mods sometime in the future though

second post that came up made by me even this may come across as harsh but the search bar is there for a reason. you say you searched it but you clearly didnt. this gets asked like once a month we even trialed it but decided against it im just gonna lock it

im gonna make a trailer for I&A since altis life has one and wasteland has one so if you have any clips. send them to me and i may add them in

What do y'all think of me.

R.I.P Jasper A touching thread. Amazing what they do these days as in the wheelchair (if you want to call it that). That allows him to keep moving.

I'm coming up on 1 year next week and I've thoroughly enjoyed this community and it's the best community I've been apart of. In the past year I've seen people leave and people join back and forth and I've seen this community double in size in just 1 year. I hope I can be here to see it grow bigger and better and want to be apart of it. #SG4lyfe

Just offering my thoughts on this. I only just started using TFR with another server, and to be honest with the TS and the use of groups in I&A I'm not sure that it's generally needed. However, I agree that with Zeus events TFR would be a strategic advantage with multiple teams.

I'm going to change your forum name to Fritz

Hi Lads, I'd like to say thanks for everyone involved in this year those who staffed, donated and enjoyed playing the servers. Without all of you we wouldn't be around. Together we have achieved more then I have ever dreamed. For one we are still up and running. This year my community goals were: Prizes for all of you. & Server upgrades. Next year my community goals are: To give back to the developers that spend all their time creating these servers. New servers - Could be anything from an Arma 3 Exile to Space Engineers. Bigger & more prizes for the community. More server upgrades. And for staff helpful training guides. Next year will bring bigger and better things and as we grow as a team we will grow as a community. LuckyB33f

@Spetsnaz AKA Andrew Firstly, I will remind you that the server of question is of a Role Play nature and thus the rules are shaped around "real life" as much as possible. Secondly, a Police Department in real life, as a government entity will have greater access to resources that a "standard" opposing organization, such as you rebel gang NIG. This is replaced in the ability to easily access large, more powerful weapons and weapon systems. Also alined with "real life" PDs not all officers have access to weapons such as the Lynx and other high powered systems. For us it is only SRT Snipers and some high command ranks. This has changed under the Commissioner @vizzN. Before him and his hard work to level the odds, to may officers displeasure he had many rifles etc removed from many rank in which we have the most officers posted to. Asking to limit the already limited assets is 1. the way a young kid acts after lossing to someone in a race he already had a head start on and 2. shows a lack of research prior to make that topic, thus making a weak argument. Also in regards to robbing Fed, if you rob something of the same level or with the same amount of value and with the same type of weapons in Australia the issue would be handed off to TAG East or TAG West. TAG or Tactical Assault Group East/ West are military anti terrorism and tactical assault teams made up of in the East the Army's 2rd Commando Regiment along with support from the Navy's Clearance Divers (Australias version of SEALs) and for the West it is made up of the Army's Special Air Service Regiment. So again all the force used is logical. Also just so you know the escalation graph used by the cops is subject to admin approval, which it has. Thirdly, the issue of officers or rebels join the fight after the bank or fed has been started is valid and follows with commonsense! In a "real life" PD officers who would not have start his or her shift at the time of the start of a bank robbery would not just leave it and not respond - doing that would not be logical. Same with rebels, if you are in a gang in "real life" and you see on the news for example that your boys had in s**t with the cops you would go help. (The server rules allow for you to stay and fight after the person on teller is killed IF you still have gang members in the bank compound/ area) Fourthly, in regards to the times which banks take, a bank is a stand off situation. Both sides have good reasons to stay and fight, cops protect the peoples and governments money and assets and for rebels to gain a monetary advantage over others. This stands for in game and in "real life". If you did not like the amount of time a bank takes or you don't have the time for one to blow out in time, simply don't start one or if you get in to one and feel it has gone over the "right" amount of time, message the cops to start negotiations and have some good old role play. Finally, I don't think you have made any majorly meaningful points and have only restarted an older discussion on the same topic. It didn't happen then and with the changes to the police under Vizzn I don't see it happening anytime soon! Regards, Mitch
