LIVE ECONOMY SYSTEM TRIAL Ladies and Gents i have been working on a live economy system to impliment within Altis Life for the past 4 months. Discussions have been made with staff as well as the leads in how to best impliment this system and we have decided to trial it. This will give us better feedback and allow us to make changes accordingly providing it is all successful to make an official release. Live economy System. What is it? Many factions conduct day to day activities throughout Altis Life that adds to the roleplay experiance that enhances everybodies experiances. We want to introduce a variable budget where particular faction leads are granted a sum of equity lets say 5mill for the week where they can utilise said funds to actively further increase there roleplay activities. What does this include sub? In order to effectively document and track funds that are given out to make adjustments on a daily basis it is a requirement that all involved factions that wish to partake in this service document all actions undertaken with the use of these funds and produce said document to myself every sunday. I will have a master spreadsheet that will document everything to do with the Live economy system that will be accessible by all relevent staff. How do i qualify? Factions include - APD EMS Civ Contractors Cartels Rebel Gangs You must be registered on the forums and be an active and trusted. If you have multiple members in your group that have broken server rules etc you do not qualify to access this system until your members reform and have a clean record for 2 months. APD - The commisioner is responsible for contacting me every sunday to get access to funds as well as providing me with a document on how the funds were used in the previous week. EMS - Head will be given funds and the same set of procedures apply as per APD Civ Contractors - Registered Civilian contractor group leaders will undergo a server profile check once they are a verified member and they have an active approved application in the forums signed off by an admin. The Lead will then contact myself for an interview and upon approval will commence training. They will then contact myself every Sunday for review and a top up. Cartels and Rebel Gangs will follow the same process as Civilian Contractors. Why is this happening? Im going to use the APD as an example. Many officers perform duties that are beyond there general duties requirements. These include: - Police Prosecution for the Judicial Government - Training of General Duties Officers - Police Academy - SRT Training These are just a few examples. The idea behind a particular faction recieving funding on a weekly basis is to reward those people that perform extra duties outside of there normal role as well as bankroll certain services that is a weekly requirement to further increase roleplay between all factions of the community. A prime example is a Police officer who has just joined the server and has minimal bankroll and wants to play cop straight up. The commissioner can allocate said funds to the particular individual in purchasing the minimal requirements for said person to conduct his day to day general duties as well as allocate funds for senior officers to train the individual. If people who are new to the server get looked after in this sort of way they apreciate the time and effort that people put in to help the member out and their is a extremely high chance that this will then carry on further which has alot of major advantages. How does this help with Civ Contractors? Civilian Contracting groups primarily base there ingame experiances through unique roleplay. I want to further enhance this with the live economy system so they feel like there being rewarded for implementing their unique roleplay experiance. There budget will rise or lower depending on how the funds are being used. Cartels? Cartels play a major part in Straya's roleplay experiance in the server. I want to promote them further by allowing them to spend more time at their drug field in implementing their unique roleplay by managing and taxing players that come through. By providing a certain bankroll we allowing them to spend more time at their drug fields and more roleplay instead of them having to go out and actively grind to fund what they require to manage their drug fields. Rebel Gangs? By funding approved rebel gangs i can grant them particular terms they must adhere to in order to recieve there weekly bonus. What im trying to promote here is a more positive and improved interaction. By funding rebel gangs they feel less inclined to revert to just going to Sydney. I want them to focus on more Roleplay outside of Sydney and their engagament with Cartels as well as other Rebel Gangs. New Rebel Gangs that have a clean record for a period of time would apreciate having access to weekly funds so they dont feel like their the underdogs going into a firefight, they also can proactively gear and plan the engagement of robbing banks. How is this system controlled? - You must have a clean record with the community and staff - This includes your members - You must produce a document on a weekly basis to myself outlining how the funds have been spent - Failure to produce a document outlining how funds were used will void your live economy contract with the admins - A master document will be maintained with all transactions and reciepts ( Group documents ) That all admins and above will have access to. This is a trial, we will be thoroughly monitoring this. If this system is abused we will pull the pin. Alot of effort has gone into making this system work, im here to promote positive roleplay as well as ensure that all new players are being looked after by their respective groups reducing the amount of problems that are brought into helpdesk. Im allowing players who have a bad record to reform and become a positive influence to other players. Those people who have continued to create a positive roleplay experiance on the server will now be further rewarded for their actions. Its great to see these types of thigns happening and we want to further promote it. How do i apply? For the trial you need to private message myself. Please read the above post carefully and ensure that your group qualifies for this particular service. If you dont currently qualify you know what you need to do in order to qualify. Thank you all and i shall see you ingame!

Hey Guys, Myself and the Altis Life Administration team have taken in feedback from the last few community meetings and general discussion with players and other staff members.

This trial will run through the period of this week for evaluation by staff and the community. Starting 3PM restart today (October 30th) and running through to Monday the 6th of November. It will be discussed at tonight's community meeting @ 6:30PM AEDT. Any questions may be posted there. Please keep your eyes on the forums for any updates to this rule trial, as it may be terminated or modified during the period of the week due to how it turns out. Any changes will be posted as a reply to this topic. The rules are as follows: 2.9 - TRIAL - Rebel gear is permitted in city limits with restriction 2.9.1 - Only Small arms (Up to 7.62mm rifles) are allowed. 2.9.2 - Lightly armoured vehicles (No strider or Ifrit) 2.9.3 - The only exception to this is Rebel Takeovers 2.9.4 - You must have a valid RP reason to use it (Going in to kill cops is not a valid RP reason) 2.9.5 - Level 4 and 5 Apparel cannot be used inside city limits. 2.9.6 - There must be 6 or more cops online

Folks, if you've never run an Escape mission, I highly recommend you try it out. It's different to the other servers in that you don't have the front foot/initiative/advantage in other game modes. So you need to Be Smart, Be Tactical, Pick Your Shots, Survive, Escape. Good Luck.

Lets Escape Lads, This week/weekend I will be running some Escape missions. You are all welcome to join. I will will leave the server live all week / weekend. There be a few different maps with RHS and CUP mods depending on the server at the time. These missions are a load of fun and a pain in the ass at the same time. Where do i find these mods? RHS: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=843770737 CUP: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=583575232 The only mod you don't need is CWA from CUP How to find this server? Filter: StrayaGaming Community Escape This server is currently CUP mods on a few different maps Filter: StrayaGaming Community Escape 2 This server is currently RHS mods on a few different maps Quick video of the game mode Thanks DJ for the below To play (CUP) Escape you will need below mods To play (RHS) Escape you will need below mods

Hey all, I was playing the server last night and noticed it was a bit rubberbandy over 90 players. Obviously we have spent most of this year dealing with crashes and mass kicks but now that both those issues are resolved its time to address the desync. Starting from 3pm today Altis Life will be running on our second dedicated server for a trial. The second server has a better CPU for Arma so we are wanting to see if being on it reduces the lag at all which will help us decide what to do from here. The server is isolated from I&A and Wasteland so it cannot impact their performance, and they cannot impact ours. It is also connected to the same database so there are no dramas there. Cheers

personally i think it isnt fair to do a dec on everyone in a city if its a spawn city. especially sydney because new people will be spawning there all the time so theyd be decd on before they even join the server which they cant know about unless someone has told them, so for those who dont know itd just be rdm. thats just me tho.

Value for life rule. Civilians within a major city are made aware that a large scale rebel incursion is about to happen. Value for life dictates that the civilians value their life above and beyond ownership status of the city in question. Thus the following suggestions is made to clarify my understanding of the rule set. 1. REBEL GANG DECLARES INTENT TO POLICE AND CIVILIAN POPULATION THEY ARE DOING A TAKE OVER . This is a declaration. And all declarations should include instruction - penalty if instruction is not followed - Example : MESSAGE ALL COPS : _INSERT_REBEL_GANG_NAME_ FORCES ARE RETAKING THE CITY OF __INSERT_NAME_ AVOID LOSS OF LIFE. LEAVE THE CITY WITHIN THE NEXT 10 MINS TO AVOID POLICE AND CIVILIAN CASUALTIES. ANY PERSONS SEEN REMAINING WILL BE DEEMED GOVERNMENT SUPPORTERS AND SHOT. CHANNEL 7 MESSAGE : _INSERT_REBEL_GANG_NAME_ FORCES ARE RETAKING THE CITY OF __INSERT_NAME_ FOR THE PEOPLE. ALL CIVILIANS ARE ADVISED TO LEAVE THE CITY WITHIN NEXT 10 MINS TO AVOID CIVILIAN CASUALTIES. ANY PERSONS SEEN REMAINING WILL BE DEEMED GOVERNMENT SUPPORTERS AND SHOT. --------------------------------- Once police receive notification of a planned uprising. The following should happen. 1. Senior Police officer should imminently send out PUBLIC ALERT MESSAGE. P.A.M. : THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST ARMED REBEL FORCES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED PREPARING TO ATTACK ANYONE WITHIN CITY LIMITS AFTER THE NEXT 10 MINS. ALL CIVILIANS ARE ADVISED TO HEAD TO THE FRONT OF THE POLICE STATION _INSERT_CITY_NAME_ TO BE EXTRACTED OR LEAVE THE CITY BEFORE THE REBELS ATTACK 2. AFTER TEN MINS HAVE PASSED - THE REBEL FORCES WILL REISSUE DECLARATION - TO POLICE VIA TEXT . TO CIVILIANS VIA CHANNEL 7. : ATTENTION - ALL PERSONS WITHIN CITY LIMITS - POLICE HAVE FAILED TO COMPLY WITH OUR CEASE FIRE NEGOTIATIONS . ARMED FORCE WILL NOW BE USED TO SECURE THE CITY - ALL PERSONS SEEN WITHIN WILL BE SHOT. **** WHAT does this all mean **** Too long Didnt read version is this: IF your still in the city after ten mins , your either a Police officer fighting the rebels...... Or your a civilian with a death wish - either way - the REBEL GROUP has the right to SHOOT ON SITE as no one who did not want to be involved in a LIFE THREATENING situation would still be within the city limits. I know not everyone is this organized. But if AINC decides to don a RANDOM tag to do some fun rebel RP .... This is the route we will take. Clear communication. No miss understanding. IF YOU STAY : Your get sprayed. Simple.

Jeez we have already had some great moments with these missions... This was the closest we have come to finishing... but this is just a small clip from us travelling from A to B
