Been awhile since the first, Last 3 months jammed together xo

I haven't banned anyone for agreeing with Frank and i'm not hiding or deleting comments I don't agree with. I've only been providing my opinion of Frank and how he conducts himself. You can just look at the image from Wex of the steam chat, Frank fabricated that in an attempt to manipulate Wex and the other party involved. Pretty self-explanitory, and if you want to tin-foil hat it I can just show you the entry for the message in the database. I haven't said a word about any other server in a negative light, even then, we initially tried working with Frank to assist him until he started actively poaching. We provided assistance to TFO and worked with them to improve the Oceanic Arma3 community before they shut down. We work with OutputGaming on sharing unique bans that are not hacking related. We publicly list our hackers banlist so that others can take advantage of our anticheat. There are countless numbers of communities that have popped up from StrayaGaming community members, every single time we try to assist them however we can. But i'm the crazy tyrant hell-bent on trying to destroy these servers around me. I don't have an issue with Franks server, or his community. I have an issue with him.

This whole topic is just at this point a massive " he said, she said " situation which without proof, no side should be making aggressive statements as said below As a server owner, unless you put proof, it's a serious allegation which paints a picture that your playing a game of pin the tail on the donkey instead of being diplomatic and giving evidence and letting the people form their own opinion and force feeding your person opinion down someone elses throat, a lot of people in all communities form bias/hatred to other servers without any proof or thinking the situation through rational thought process, they just listen to whatever the owner says and sit pretty. Going through that video and reading through all those comments i didn't see a level of disrespect from Frank to Red, Personally i feel red just doesn't like frank which is his own opinion which he can obviously have, but going directly after someone without any proof / not giving out any is just silly, Red you have a community of people that'll follow you no matter what, but doing stuff like this makes people feel like you're a maniacal tyrant on the hunt for every other server in the area, I've spoken with you and i know you're not that sort of person, but imagine a new player looking from outside the server and reading this whole post, it doesn't paint a pretty picture, this thread should be closed because nothing will come out of this witch hunt unless evidence is posted. I was a staff member for 3 months and personally felt like i did my job to the best of my ability, I've dealt with all levels of management but like any human, i made some stupid mistakes in regards to management, I've dealt with both James and Red in lots of different situations and both James and Red are both rational people and i feel both communities should just shake and move on and end this silly shit show of throwing shit at each other like monkeys and act like civilized people. Strayagaming at this point have our own issues we need to attend to, So does ANZUS Gaming, just move on and work on our own communities and let the circle jerk end.

STRAYAGAMING CH-CH-CH-CHANGES TURN AND FACE THE STRANGE, CH-CH-CHANGES Hey everyone, Over the past month or so our Community and Forum Staff Teams have been slowly chipping away at a series of updates aimed at shifting the community closer together as StrayaGaming grows. We've scratched out a detailed listing of the various changes that you might have seen implimented over the past couple of days, and staff will be keeping a close eye on this thread for any questions or comments you might want to bring up. COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTOR As our community grows, the number of members who we have seen stand out from the crowd has, at least somewhat, reliably grown with it. Hoping to both support these members and help bridge the gap between the staff and the greater community, we are happy to introduce a new role for everyone to strive towards; the Community Contributor. The new role will be entrusted, on behalf of Management, to those members who are able to stimulate the community through meaningfull contribution. Creating quality video, audio and graphic content, as well as assisting staff with the various community projects that get around will all boost your chances of being assigned the new group. Consideration of the following will also be instrumental in determining eligibility: A member's attitude towards our community and our members A member's attitude towards our community guidelines and our staff A member's dedication towards helping those in need A member's initiative taken towards building the community The aim of the game here is bringing the members who make an effort in contributing to the community more into the spotlight and helping them get recognised for the good work that they have done for our community. Aside from the usual flashy new group icons and channels, it is possible for Community Contributors to be granted specific permissions traditionally restricted from the public, such as greater forum access. If you believe the new tag should be sitting under your name for contributions in the past, message a member of the Management Team and your request will come up during internal discussion. FORUM STAFF GROUP CHANGES In an attempt to make distinguishing between members of the community and our staff easier on the eyes, we are all going to see a little more red and gold around our forums. All StrayaGaming staff below Management will be draped in the new Staff colour, and forum staff members will have their posts bordered by gold, hopefully simplifying the browsing experience. Additionally, there has been a change in some of the titles our staff will adorn. The Strayagaming Lead role has been renamed to Community Owner, the Community/Operations/Development Lead roles have all been renamed to Community Manager, and finally, the Community and Staff Manager roles have been renamed to Community Team Manager and Server Staff Manager respectively. As always, the detailed list of current staff positions can be found here. DONATOR GROUP CHANGES One of the more significant changes that will effect a good chunk of the community is the way donators will be represented going forward. On both our TeamSpeak and our forums, all members who have donated to StrayaGaming throughout the past have been organised into one of two groups: Donator or Lifetime Donator. Members of the community currently holding permanent whitelisting status on one of our three Arma 3 services or those deemed applicable by Management have been merged into the Lifetime Donator role. Furthermore, members of the community who have not currently met the requirements for Lifetime Donator status have been merged into the Donator role. With new roles, comes new group icons for both our forums and TeamSpeak, as well as the usual access to respective channels. For community members curious as to whether or not previous donations grant them eligibility for Lifetime Donator status, please get into contact with the relevant server administrators and we'll see what we can do for ya. STRAYA VETERAN GROUP CHANGES As we get closer and closer to seeing 2019 rear it's ugly head over the horizon, more members than ever before will gaze upon it as a veteran of our community. In an attempt to account for this, we are happy to introduce the implementation of the new 2016 Veteran and 2017 Veteran community groups. The Straya Veteran group has been renamed to 2015 Veteran, and members who created their forum account in 2015, 2016 or 2017 will be automatically assigned one of these veteran groups respectively. Community members who believe that they are eligible for one of the new veteran groups and yet have not had a new tag assigned automatically should contact a forum staff member and we will work towards a solution. If you haven't already, please sync your forum account with your TeamSpeak UID, as staff are not to be providing some of the new groups on TeamSpeak and will need to be synced through our forums. Keep an eye out for another community update set to drop sometime in the coming weeks. Have a good one, and have fun!

Basics: - Name: Wex TeamSpeak Name: Wex Age: 21 Steam 64 ID/Player ID: 76561198060843177 Hours as Pubslot (Min 15 hours): 50+ Induction Training Completed By (Must have been completed no more than 30 days ago): Zesty Questionnaire: - Why were you removed from the APD?: Resigned from Commissioner, moved into Internal Affairs. Resigned from that too and I assume I was given Senior Constable or something and was slowly demoted over time due to inactivity until finally removed. Why should you be reenlisted back into the APD?: (50 Words Min) I left on bad terms as Commissioner and as Internal Affairs but I didn't hold any grudges or personal feelings against any member involved in the incident. I'd like to rejoin the police force, see how far it's come since I left and just get back into playing a life server. I'm here to roleplay and have fun and I'll try my best not to cause any troubles. When was the last time you played consistently on Cop?: Last time I was consistent was when I was a probationary constable all the way to Superintendent. After that I was playing on and off, partially due to internet and computer issues that have now been resolved. If you are enlisted into the APD, where do you see yourself in 3 months?: Honestly, I'd like to reach Sergeant but that's the highest I would want to go. I've had my fair share of being in Command Team and I'd rather avoid all the unpleasantness again. What do you believe you can bring to the Altis Police Department?: (50 Words Min) I can bring my professionalism and roleplay skills, especially when interacting with civilians. I would like to make the environment for all parties involved as enjoyable as possible without straying from the protocols or boundaries of rules. My leadership abilities lack confidence and I'm hoping to regain some of it back during my time in the APD. Are you up to date with the new Police Protocols?: Yes How much time can you dedicate to the Altis Police Department?: Around 5-10 hours a week, more during the summer break. If you were demoted for any reason other than Inactivity, you are required to have at least two referrals from a Sergeant or above. Who are you referrals (@their forum name):

I've been apart of this community for nearly two years, serving 6 months as Commissioner, a couple months as support team and a couple weeks as a trial moderator before departing from SG's Altis Life. The server has been through multiple up and downs before my time and during my time. I was present during the Vertiigo incident that resulted in a reset of the Police Force, where I was trusted by the leads at the time to rebuild the Police Force from basically nothing. On top of that, I was a part AnzusGaming, serving as Commissioner then as Server Manager. This server has a habit of reacting to certain situations rather than being proactive and fixing the problems earlier on. The server was around 20 players average after the Vertiigo incident and LuckyB33f had to step in and force changes for the better of the community. We were back up to 100 players during peak and sometimes hitting max population. And I feel like this is what is happening right now. When the server pop drops, the management becomes reactive and starts making change, or attempting to make change. I feel this attitude towards change in the server needs to be fixed, there are multiple different posts on the forums suggesting for one thing (capture areas) and nothing has been done about it at all. Hopefully with the recent decrease in playerbase, change will start to happen again to benefit the server. The polls in my opinion are just a waste of time on how they're currently used. I made a rant about this on discord but I'm going to extend this on the forums. The first polls that were released had one or two things that could have been worthy of a poll while the others were something that shouldn't have been polled in the first place. Small changes like adding a repair and refuel platform is something that the administration could read in a suggestions post and add it straight away. Other things like adding more helicopters in the shops and better drops in the airdrop could be done without a public poll. Just to clarify, I'm not against polls but I don't like how they're being used at the moment. Polls should be leaning more towards major changes such as Sydney being the main town again or fed being changed to a different location. AnzusGaming might be a better server at this current state, feel free to try it out but don't leave this community entirely. I have confidence the administration will try their best to satisfy its population. I have worked with Frank and Mitch, in fact I was the one who promoted Mitch to Deputy Commissioner. Both of them have flaws, but I would trust Mitch to run a server over Frank. Frank is a person who encourages doxing, threatens to leak personal information about others, and photoshops steam messages to try and discredit me when I accused him of scamming. This person has also sold files of Underbelly to two different communities (to my knowledge) when they weren't his to sell in the first place (Have evidence of that but won't be posting publicly), scamming people hundreds of dollars for his own personal gain. Yikesbrah, alternate account of Frank or someone in his inner circle leaking my Facebook, (I've got nothing to hide so don't really care): https://i.imgur.com/8rOALfF.png Frank sending me a message on SG's forums, threatening me and showing me a photoshopped image of a steam chat to try and prove I'm a white knight. Also him saying he has the decency of removing people linking my Facebook page even though it's still there: https://i.imgur.com/QOrlBvw.png Zoom in of that image to prove it's photoshopped: https://i.imgur.com/32k1Slf.png Threatening to leak personal info of someone else: https://i.imgur.com/XmW3Dd7.jpg Form your own opinion from these screenshots. Mitch might not be the best person for Altis Life, but he's far better than Frank.

I believe Dandoo deserves a promotion because he is always active and constantly is helping the people around him, he has also shown great dedication when he takes CO and makes sure no one is left behind.I believe that if he gets sergeant he would be able to do a lot more, as it openes up a lot of new challenging tasks for him.

Perhaps add a box to where you see fit, maybe on the top right of your screen when you get a kill with the following information: You incapacitated! Player: %NAME Distance: %DISTANCE Weapon: %WEAPON And if you get killed, the same box, appears but with this information: You Were incapacitated! (or whatever word you pick, same as before). Player: %NAME Weapon: %WEAPON The reason why it doesn't have distance for if you get shot is so you can't metagame their distance and tell your friends on TS, etc. Hope you consider it!

I Cant believe the amount of Immature people in the community some people act like they are 12 years old here its just a game and if people wanna run there own community then ppl should be allowed to with out causing problems for other community seems like Red doesn't want anyone else in Australia to have there own community. Yeah frank has made mistakes but so has Red and Wex and lots of other ppl but we should not all bitch and moan about it just get on with ya life play the game and be happy its only a game its not the end of the world. I enjoyed my time here as staff i was in role for just over a year and have decided for change and now playing on ANZUS i hope i dont get banned from straya for playing on another community. This Video im posting is what frank has made up hopefully admins dont take it down he just wants to try clear his name. As i said everone makes mistakes but everyone doesn't have the right to try run someone down for there mistakes they have made.

The main reason why people have been switching over, even though people know frank can make some down right stupid decisions, the thing everyone loves about that community is that it is community based server, whenever people show rational and good ideas that don't screw the server over, it is thought about and if good enough, gets implemented, currently at this point on the server, just by looking at the population that's happened in the past 2 weeks, people don't feel comfortable being vocal about what they want, everyone just shutters because they feel if they voice their opinion, they won't get listened to and that's not how you want the community to feel, considering they are the foundation to this community, we've lost mass amounts of numbers since this update, majority of it due to the fact that this update had so many issues and things that could have been tested, but were completely overlooked and ruined quite a few experiences, majority for the new players. The new update should have been the complete return of Strayagaming taking over and cementing ourselves within the top 10 servers in ARMA 3, but we fumbled and now have let other servers have a foot into the community that we've spent a very long time growing and building, because of our silly decision making and continuous lack of giving information to the people to make them feel like this server will improve over time, but there will always be issues including from massive server wipes, but as things were said earlier, we could've improved the playing experience for everyone with some simple beta testing, It's easy to know the right thing to do after something has happened although these are things that need to be worked on IF you want the server to improve and get back to the mantle that we've held before. The main downfall for this community will always be adapting and changing things, this server has an awful knack for waiting till everything becomes so stale and boring, that when people leave, then management have to scurry together and try and figure out what's necessary to make the server better for that time being, until it rebuilds again, instead of being stale and not adapting, we should be relying on what the community feels is the right thing to do, what things need to be changed, giving information to people who can build off of it and never be complacent, complacency is the down fall of servers, IF this server can show consistency, Dedication and letting the community have a vote on what needs to be done and you'll have a server that'll be placing extremely well and you'll be sitting pretty. All this is hear say but if you want any chance of keeping this community alive and thriving, make the right decisions and don't be complacent, complacency kills this server every time, we've dropped to the levels of 10 players multiple times, but this drop of players is something out of the ordinary, adapt consistently or frank will take what players we have floating around with open hands, frank might make some completely retarded decisions and act in a way to manipulate the people but on the other hand, management listens to the community and makes them feel wanted, The decision for the players are 1. Have a server that doesn't adapt / change anything in regards to content, unless completely forced to due to lack of players. 2. Deal with someone that can act like a shady **** but consistently changes the server up and listens to the people, and adapts all the time. I know this server can fill the mantle that we've had before, just do whats needed and we'll be at the top again in no time.

Frank copied and pasted my whole mission.sqm and put it on his server from all the work I did on Darkside and TFO ? Funny to join another server to see all your work

You'd have more success trying to merge with an exile community. Last time Straya did Exile, it was popular for the first week then barely had any players after that. I'd rather the work go towards pop up servers, something like a modded I&A or wasteland. A game mode where you can get decent pop for the weekend or a week then shut it down and bring it back after a few months.

Copying my song bruh what the heck
