Hello everyone how are we all. so its been about a week that ive been on the server now and i thought i should pop on by and introduce my self to the community. I am Sir Deadpool or Deadpool, you might of bumped into me a few times on the altis life server or maybe the invade and annex server. im currently a Paramedic and a Civ on the Altis life server so dont be scared to come say hi to me when your in game. im 25 and currently unemployed but still looking for work. though on the weekends you can catch me live streaming some games or on the server over at Twitch, i like playing FPS Racing, RTS and sometimes adventure games as well as mmo's if there is more you want to know feel free to ask.

-// SOCIAL BUTTERFLY REVAMP //- It has been a long while since the Social Butterfly tags were first dished out to the community, and at the time, it gave those willing to get more involved an opportunity to fly their colours. While it has been nice seeing those blue icons around, there has, however, been some confusion as to how the tags ought be distributed, resulting in the Social Buttefly tags being more numerous than they should be. In order to directly address this, the Social Butterfly initiative will be undergoing some reform, starting off with all current tag holders losing their social butterfly status. The new implementation will require you to submit a support ticket via the support system and your success will be determined by fulfilling ALL Class 1 requirements and TWO Class 2 requirements. These include: Class 1 Being a member of the Strayagaming -SGAU- Steam Group [ https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SGAUOfficial ] Liking and following the StrayaGaming Facebook Page [ https://www.facebook.com/SGAUOfficial ] Following the Straya Gaming Twitter Page [ https://twitter.com/SGAUOfficial ] Following the SGAU Twitch Channel [ https://www.twitch.tv/SGAU ] Subscribing to the Straya Gaming YouTube Channel [ https://www.youtube.com/c/StrayaGaming ] Joining the StrayaGaming Discord Server [ http://discord.straya.life ] Having posted at least 30 new topics or replys on our forums. Creating a new thread and having 5 unique users reply to it on our forums Having never been banned for a period of 1 week or longer on any of StrayaGaming's platforms within the past 6 months Class 2 Commenting on 5 different posts made on the StrayaGaming Facebook Page Retweeting 5 different tweets sent from the Straya Gaming Twitter Page Creating 5 new threads that have all had 5 unique users reply to on our forums Having been the top contributor in one week or one month on our forums Holding 10 Iawards on our forums Having 5 followers on our forums Alongside these changes, not only will the Social Butterfly status be granted a shiny new forum tag, but will also have a brand new TeamSpeak icon and community lounge. For those of us looking to represent themselves as the brightest StrayaGaming has to offer, there will be no tag more reflective. If you find yourself eligible for the new badge, you have our thanks, as it is the willingness to get involved and give it a go that keeps our community vibrant. Have a great one!

Both of these things should be fixed (or easier to fix) with Quiksilver's next release. Spawning more stuff is easier said than done, as extra vehicles and units, combined with a large player count, all have a negative impact on server performance.

<-------------- the server

Do u feel 60+'s a better balance than 30/40?? I prefer the latter. Although I like seeing the awesome power of 60+ foightin at once I dont feel the opfor provides enough of a challenge for us overall. Then with CAS/ironside being used too, well its like walking on cake. Defenses, barring kajman, ppl routinely head out to look for the assaulting force. Yet a year ago it seemed 50-50 whether we'd win a defense regardless of player count (maybe there were more kajmans then idk) coz opfor out the wazoo. Also spam comes with large player counts. People begin talking over each other in chat/groups (mega-default group doubly so), coordination gets retarded and its eventually devolves into a FFA. Smaller server count usually encourage inter squad coordination while being easier to keep track of things going on (more thrilling as ur at a disadvantage too). Think itd be interesting to see both capped at 30/40/50 while scrubbing the civvies for extra opfor instead. (also a real tentative trial-run of tanoan forces with a speck more accuracy)

Regular Player Name (Which you are most known for): ...Skeet ArmA 3 UID/Steam64ID: ...76561198321796392 Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: ...It has been over seven days for myself however i was banned indefinitely with the chance to appeal after seven days. I am very sorry for my actions which were duping and then i proceeded to lie to the straya gaming staff about it. the reasons i duped was because i just did not want to worry about money in the game, i duped about 20 million dollars but i never really did anything with the money, i never bought a house or anything. i only bought new vehicles if mine were blown up or new guns if i died. i also lied to the staff once they found out i duped because i was worried i would get banned. (here i am of course, to anyone reading this DO NOT LIE TO THE STAFF) i am very sorry for lying to the staff, i just want to be able to join my mates once again for some fun and honest gaming in my free time once again. Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): ...I am very sorry for what i have done and i have learned a very valuable lesson, for those reading this i give you the advice of do not exploit the game for any reasons and do not lie to the staff for any reasons. just play the game honestly. i regret my actions and have learned a lesson i wont forget, i hope the community and staff can forgive me and let me prove myself as an honest member. i can promise i will never exploit the game again a lesson hard learned but a lesson i deserved.

I disagree, I have much more fun on a full server.

Removal of thermals on quadcopters (darters) Tbh I use them to great effectiveness and gives me enemy awareness beyond what should be allowed. Literally increases a small groups performance by a factor of 3-4 to a point where its more likely theyll kill the entire server than the server killing them. It would be beneficial to everyone if we all relied on visual awareness and tactics to detect enemies than searching for white dots from drones 3kms away at a 1.5km altitude (AGL). If u suggest fresh spawns can buy super cheap anti-thermal gear, thats where the population dies off cause most new players dont know that and rage dc due to dying to full kit rambo players. The server should prioritise fresh spawns more than anyone as they will be the future of the server. Give new players a fighting chance to live long enough to be able to kill experienced players. If people want to play drone simulator, they can spawn AI into Eden editor and have a blast killing mindless ants. @James32, @jacob potty, @Nunny

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.

What is this all about? Recently, we have recorded a few individuals who have been using an exploitation method which we were alerted to recently. It appears that this method was rather popular. As such, we find it just to give them the popularity they so deserve. So sit back and eat some popcorn. All individuals who have been observed using the method have, and will be spoken to. Honesty goes a long way here. They will then have their houses wiped, their bank balance reduced to a maximum of 8 million and then banned for one week. (Outdated) Edit #2: The second round sees a ban of one month, with a chance for public appeal after one week. (Outdated) Edit #3: The third and all consecutive bans see an indefinite ban, with a chance for a public appeal. You will receive a complete player wipe. If you have duped in the past, are currently duping, know of dupers or of duplication methods, we suggest that you come forward (we can discuss incentives). There are still some individuals which we will approach regarding this. I have popcorn but I didnt dupe, can I reply? No, please only use reactions to show your love/hate. This place is only meant to provide fame to those that have earnt their rightful place on here (by duping). I was banned, what options do I have? Depending on your honesty, you will have to fill out certain elements of the template below, and reply to this post. You do not have to publicly respond here, you may sit out the one week ban in peace without posting here (with the exception of one person). If you decide to post here, make sure there is effort placed into the post (e.g. not this: 'im sorry i wont do it again plz unban') or I may not unban you. As soon as a minimum of one day has passed and you have posted the apology, then you will be unbanned and are free to rejoin everyone.
