Hey lads! I'm bored at 6 mil moneycap so here's $1,000,000 to a lucky wasteland player. ************************************************************************** To ENTER: 1. Like this post 2. Comment '[your in-game name] <3 money' 3. Wait 1 week and a randomly selected player will be announced on this post ************************************************************************** Note: attached image is screenshot of 6mil moneycap on Strayagaming Wasteland Malden

oh thanks for telling us i thought there was a bugged out poll or something

like whoring in 2017?

Hey all, I'm doing the assigning for the Straya Veteran tag, I've already done a few but realised not everyone would be watching specific threads for updates. So I have made this... Members can comment below requesting the tag and I will organise for it to be assigned. Teamspeak will add the tag automatically when checking Member Teamspeak UUID's. Please note that the tag will only be added if there is a valid UUID set on your profile! Check here to add one. https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/teamspeak/ Members can check if they fit the pre-2016 criteria on their profile page. If there are any additional questions just ask them below.

We don't have people asking for map changes so... mustn't be as boring as Wasteland.

It would be nice to see Stratis once again, however it has been modified and changed so much over the last 2 years that it's just not fun anymore. Malden on the other hand has had no map editing since release which leaves much potential for major additions/rearranging. Malden is a fun map that suits many styles of gameplay, you can also land/take off jets from literally anywhere on the map which is pretty funny. If it's possible they could be rotated sometime in the near future every week or fortnight.

This is how i see I&A turning out now and its beautiful

hmm

I'd like to start off by thanking everyone for congratulating me on my promotions to Commissioner. What will happen now is that I will be getting some input over ideas myself and other members of the community have come up with. Over the week and maybe next week, I will be conducting interviews with every police officer rank Sergeant or above. If you would like an interview and want your input heard, please send me a private message on the forums stating what you want changed or suggestions that will improve the APD. The main topics that will be discussed: Changes in General Duties, Sydney LAC/Highway Patrol Reintroducing Public slots and the whitelisting of Officers. Police Arsenal and Vehicles S.R.T. Detectives Full time Cop vs Rebel The following Officers are required for an interview, try and arrange this with me on teamspeak please. @Nigel Gluesniff @Mitch096 @Milkdud @★Smokey★ @Hunterr @Spetsnaz AKA Andrew @Augnov @Lucas Gluesniff Promotions and Career Paths In a perfect world we'll have cops that play cop for the experience, not the rank. Which is one of the reasons why I'm against most of the training that was conducted before the reset. People would get promoted based on the completion of their training, rather than their performance. It's okay to get frustrated when someone else gets promoted before you, what's not okay is when you play an hour a week and expecting a promotion. Getting training is not required for a promotion, but it will definitely help. You can ask how to get a promotion, but don't try to ask for one or try to subtly ask for a promotion because it will not end well. I've delayed promotions because of this. Promotions from Prob. Constable to Senior Constable are pretty standard. Show that you know what you're doing and that you can be active and have a good attitude towards cop. Promotions to Sergeant and Senior Sergeant is a bit harder. You have to be a really good leader, shown to have a great attitude, and be able to roleplay or show your dedication and commitment to the APD. My suggestion to this would be joining any police division, Polair/SRT/Detective and be involved in the Police Academy. The Academy has unlimited slots, you just have to put in a little effort to become a member. Promotions to Inspector will be based on your dedication and efforts. An example is Smokey. Yes he's made some mistakes, yes he's done some bad things in the past. He has shown a lot of dedication to cop, most of which is behind the scenes. He's done most of the interviews himself and written up a document to tell others how to do them. Some things that will also be considered into promotions is your performance in hostile situations in terms of communications and situational awareness. Hopefully we can start having some weekly events and training sessions. Updating the Protocols https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LE-r9Crm02ORd0RjwSzJDdP2OWk9NQIf4o93n-YSxrY/edit?usp=sharing After discussion with some command team members, we feel that the current protocols is a bit excessive and most people here probably haven't gone through half of it. There are some minor changes in this protocol and more might even be added. The purpose of updating the protocols is to give officers more discretion and freedom to do what they think is best. I've been on cop almost every day and what I've noticed is that some officers are afraid to take action, especially against trolls. It's okay to tase trolls without a warning, the new protocol is there to protect you incase some troll comes into PD nitpicking every small detail of the protocol and starts yelling "I'm going to IA/Helpdesk, you're meant to give 3 warnings before tasing me". The updated protocols is not in effect yet and hopefully it will be in effect by Sunday. Clarifying the ticket for "Entering PD with malicious intent" As stated in the home page, and the tickets. We spend too much time messing around in PD, most of it is dealing with civilians. If someone comes driving into PD ramming cars or helicopters, send them to jail for 5 minutes. No rights need to be read, no processing needs to be done. They don't need to be given multiple warnings, a ticket or anything because it's just a waste of our time when they don't want to roleplay. Now if someone comes into PD yelling random things, running around, being abusive. You can tase them, restrain them and give them one warning and tell them that if they come back into PD they'll be sent to jail. The other ticket for entering a restricted area (PD/FED) is only used if they've entered PD and haven't done anything wrong. Cop and Rebel Activities Currently, the highest rank you can go while playing in a Rebel/Cartel gang is Senior Constable. This is going to be increased to Sergeant and possibly even Senior Sergeant. To elaborate on what you can and cannot do (none of this is final and will be further discussed): Any rank up to Sergeant You can do whatever you want on civilian. Senior Sergeant to Inspector You may do rebel activities alone without any gang/cartel affiliation. This includes going to the KOS rebel shop. You may be part of a civilian gang and mess around in Sydney, but do note that any server rule you break you may be subject to disciplinary action. You may be part of a civilian contracting group that does not focus on providing security. Example, being part of a transportation company. Superintendent and above Full time cop, absolutely no rebel activity. You are pretty much an off-duty cop on civ. Detectives/SRT Absolutely no rebel activity allowed. Reason being, these roles main job is to prevent rebel activities and they may have access to highly sensitive information and we want to prevent metagaming as much as possible.

(50 words min)?: I can bring a disciplined player and mature with respect for people who deserve it and i have numerous hours on arma i feel i can train the officers better and teach them important tricks and tactics in helping the police force become more professional as well as deadly when the need arises i can be cool headed and relaxed but i can also speak up and take control when its required i am not timid and have no issue in dealing with people who try to challenge higher ups for the fun of it Do you wish to work in Enlistment or Training? Why? (50 words min)?: I am happy to help in both areas taking out new cops as well as helping train new and current i feel i am easily capable of doing both if need be however if i was to take a preference it would be in training as opposed to enlistment however i do feel it is extremely important to get our PD numbers up as the current count will not suffice there's no point in training members if we only have 2 - 6 cops active at a time so i feel training and enlistment are equally as important at this current time How much time can you dedicate to the Altis Police Department?: Well since i have been accepted i have been on every single day with a minimum of 5 hrs a day i am happy to continue being active as long as i continue to enjoy playing cop and have fun if i feel it becomes a job or something that's not fun anymore then i won't be active however i was the previous comissioner on another server and active up until the end of the server so i don't feel i will get bored of the game anytime soon Have you ever been the subject of Disciplinary Action within the APD?

@FBI in an A-10 Wipeout :D or @Links with a mortar

//PENDING Please run a training session with Senior Academy Officers as well as an undertake interview with Senior Academy Officers.

I wouldn’t call myself an optimist. I like to think of myself as a realist. But, let’s be honest, that’s just a fancy marketing-type term for pessimist, isn’t it? In the past, I have frequently and compulsively let myself mope and ruminate about all the awful things in life. It’s kind of a chicken and egg thing with the depression; do I feel depressed because of the negative thoughts, or do I think negative thoughts because of the depression? When I began treating my depression and anxiety, I had to confront my own thinking patterns. The negative thoughts were not helping me. If I wanted to be happy, I had to learn to think more positively, or, at the very least, realistically about things. Instead of telling myself ‘Today is going to be hellish,’ I had to begin telling myself ‘Today might be a good day; I won’t know until I get on with it.’ The change in perspective has helped a little, though it’s not a pancea. There’s a bit of a learning curve to it, but eventually it starts to feel natural to challenge the negative thoughts. I assume the eventual goal is that you don’t have all the negative thoughts to challenge, but that seems like a distant goal at this point. Now, here’s my confession: sometimes I still let myself mope and ruminate and relish in those terribly negative thoughts. I do this for two reasons. The first reason is that it allows for a cathartic release. Once in a while, I curl up in bed and think awful things and have a cry. Sometimes I feel better after. Not always. Sometimes I feel worse. But the times that I feel better allow me to justify it in my own mind. The second reason is to combat anhedonia. I spend a lot time comfortably – or uncomfortably – numb. Sometimes it seems like I don’t feel much of anything. Letting myself think negative thoughts and feel bad for a while serves as a reminder that I do have feelings, no matter how well I manage to push them down most of the time. I wonder if this doesn’t make me a bit like an addict. Perhaps I’m addicted to feeling bad. I’ve spent so much of my life feeling miserable that there’s a certain amount of comfort in it. Still, I know this won’t help me to get better, so I try not to do this too often. But let’s look on the bright side since that’s what we ought to do: at least I don’t mope all the time anymore. Any progress is good.
