I fully take responsibility for what i did and the punishment i got handed it was fair, I understand my discipline history isn't good inside the APD but as i said in the past most of my past blacklists were due to me breaking community guild-lines which i also take full responsibility for. i really regret doing what i did. I honestly don't know what i was thinking at the time of doing it and i wish i could take it back. Now i saying all this i understand your position i am not a really liked person among the APD/Command but if i am allowed back into the APD for another shot i 95% promise i will follow all protocols and listen to my higher ups at all times. Any other information: I am keen to play again and grind for ranks if i do get another shot.

How do lads, and ladies, I am Nugs aka Mick, aka #ohhhthat****wit aka #who? and after a while lurking I thought I should say howdoo to the I&A old timers, nooguise (like me) and the mods, for courtesy and a little brevity perhaps as well. Please be warned, I have +- 0.001% filter, and can be terribly un-pc (which is what the mods are for I guess...) but I am not a racist, bigot, or generally nasty guy, I just tend to say it how I see it. Anyhoo I will just leave this here; TL;DR? Why play a milsim if you don't want to work as a team, either effective communication, and effective small unit tactics? It goes without saying that this is indeed my first contribution to the SG I&A forum, and although I hope it is well received tbh I have exactly zero copulations to give if it is booked into the archival pits of this forum. Be advised, you need beer, or a nice hot cup of bonox to deal with my somewhat saga-ish way of posting. Short is sweet, but a tale is never told in less than 150 characters. Now that is said let me begin. After an extremely long hiatus away from the BI franchise I have returned to the world of immersion (OP Flashpoint/RH/Resistance with no ArmA in between), and I am pleasantly surprised by the way this particular sandbox has evolved. Having said that, I have noted that BI has devolved in some ways by following the typical pay for DLC while stealing mods and addons ideas from the community. The latter is a discussion for another time, but I can say that the community across the board has remained the same by delivering 1st class mission building, addons, mods, and generally non toxic camaraderie when online. When I first checked the public server list I do admit I had a little moistness in my nethers as decent low ping online co-op and MP was scarce in the early days. After a week of trawling through the good, ok, and woeful, I found this particular server hosting both large maps, and to say the least, I was as keen as Jimmy Saville/Robert Hughes etc at a under 12s charity talent show to jump on and have a good bloody go at it. Reflection: Good crowd, no toxicity, no mods, some semblance of order with good comms chatter and 2 people directing the way to victory, and a relatively low pop server which means I can just jump in a helo and do what I want (Doh no gunships!). Whoops, advanced flight mode, didn't even clear the base, ok well uh let's do some spotting and figure out the controls again. Fast forward a few hours and all semblance of order disappears with a general whimper as the designated TL's log off, and the overall experience degenerates into a free for all with a bit more comms carry on and double the number of players. Over the past two months I have begun to develop some idea of who likes to play in the competitive kill kill pew pew leaderboards style, and who likes to slow it down and utilise all the facets of both A3 and this particular co-op concept. The difference in play between Altis and Tanoa is literally chalk and cheese, or should I say Skateboards and Jason recliners (Yeah it is an older crowd on Tanoa, luff you guise). Me, I like to play the long game, with a bit of recon which leads into the assault phase after some good old fashioned blowing the shit out of anything that has the capacity to turn your game into a sharpie, namely mounted heavy weapons, static emplacements, and air support. But this sort of play isn't everyone's cup of tea, and 50% of the time it all goes to shit, which can be fun but extremely frustrating as well, especially for those who are on limited play time or have low tolerance for such things... So, I ask, is the "relaxed/casual" component of I&A something that those who play the long game tend to tolerate, due to the great concept and community, or is it something that those players endure because of everything above? This answer to that question genuinely interests me as the proportion of long time SG players that I have come across tend to receive the idea of an ordered approach to each AO better than the ****it lets just drive in and kill mentality. Do you sacrifice relaxed play with no screaming orders, regimented comms discipline, proper squad movements for the ability to just do whatever the **** you want? Or do you retain the casual vibe and have a little order so as to push through each AO while minimising the amount of respawning and general frustration at the lack of medics, armour support, and CAS? Get at me, here or in game, let me know what you think, of me and what I have pondered here. Constructive feedback is welcome, and if you feel the need to ever tell me to stfu or pull up then do so, I don't have the tendency to snitch or complain to the mods, unless you are impacting everyone's gameplay. And remember, communication is my thing, if I send traffic to you by name, more than 3 times, and you ignore me, I will *ask* you why you are ignoring me, a little bit of courtesy in acknowledging someone talking to you goes a long way. And if I am in your slot, or you want a go in a role that is limited that I am playing in, just ask, and I will play another role. I will finish with the virtual dick suck here, the server devs and mods do a great job with I and A, and there are a good group of blokes on both servers who make this game time fun. Thanks to the retirees on Tanoa, Marz/Risky et al you guys are cool dudes who probably don't even know what a forum is but anyway... The Altis crew of Aiden, Josh, DEAD, Killroy, Myron, Simon et al too many of ya to list but when the shit is on I know you blokes get it done and will come and rez me for being such a bullet sponge. Obligatory ham sandwich for Fitz and a Tuna casserole for Noskire because I heard that is his favourite. #ineedanap

i wasnt being that serious tbh. in all honesty, shouldnt have posted this. just in my opinion, having 1 high pop server is more enjoyable than multiple low pop ones. hopefully thats a bit more understandable

Sooo, all I’m seeing is we remove Straya AL and replace it with another permanent Straya I&A. Excellant plan ?

brazy bro

WHAT EVEN IS FORTNITE? Fortnite: Battle Royale is an online shooting game. Your player starts in a map of up to 100 players and you collect weapons and build forts, all whilst trying to eliminate the other players. The aim is to be the last player standing. In Australia you usually get connected to other Australian players and you can play solo or in teams with random players and friends. Most games last 20 minutes max – if you are the last one standing, which your kid probably isn’t, most of the time. The brightly coloured cartoon graphics, funny celebration dances and lack of blood, guts and gore can make it appear like it is appropriate for of all ages. Why is Fortnite so crazy popular? Three reasons. 1. It’s free! That gives access to everyone, especially if you’re at the age where you don’t have any money. 2. It’s available on lots of gaming platforms. PlayStation, Xbox, PC and iPad. 3. Everyone plays it! School students, adults and lots of celebrities and athletes are talking about it. Some Fortnite players are becoming famous and making millions from broadcasting their games online. So chances are, if your son doesn’t play it yet, they really want to. WHAT YOUR KID WANTS YOU TO KNOW ABOUT FORTNITE. 1. You can’t pause an online game. This is very important for parents to understand especially when setting time limits on games. If you’re playing in a team, you can’t just leave the game at any time because you’re letting down your whole squad. 2. It’s actually social. From the outside, it doesn’t look very social when a kid is sitting in front of a screen inside when they could be out with their friends having ‘real fun’. We need to rethink the stereotype of the socially isolated video game nerd because online gaming can be very social. In Fortnite you can connect with others and together you are learning skills in leadership, teamwork and problem-solving. Okay, maybe it’s just socialising and friendly banter, but that is still social. 3. I need you to give me lots of warning of when I need to stop playing. If you want a better chance of avoiding the whining reaction when you ask your son to stop playing a video game, then give them plenty of warning. Instead of giving them traditional time limits, you could give them a limit of how many ‘rounds of Fortnite’ they can play. Just for reference, five rounds will take about an hour if they win every round. But they probably won’t, so some rounds are shorter. Keep checking in on them and asking how many rounds they have left. You’re actually doing them a favour because then they can tell their online friends that they only commit to two more games without letting their team down. What you as a parent should know about the online game Fortnite - what your son does and does not want you to know... From the Assistant Principal Video games like Fortnite can be a bit of fun, they can be social and they keep your son inside the house where you know he is safe. But, they are a poor substitute for real experiences. WHAT THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT FORTNITE (Christian Gallen and Dan Hardie - Young and Confident) 1. I don’t actually need to make those in-game purchase. It’s a free game. Free to download and free to play. But there are in-game purchases that cost real money. You can upgrade your player with a unicorn-head-pick-axe or the latest victory dance or any new costume for their character. Some kids might try to convince you that they ‘need’ to make these purchases. They don’t. It just makes their character look cool. But what you need to understand is that the social pressure for kids to fit in is just as real online as it is at school. If they have a standard default character, they might feel outcast or even get mocked by their peers. Point out that some people are cool with that. That’s actually what makes those people cool. Nothing boosts your self-esteem like your mum telling you that you are cool without the newest Fortnite character outfit. Strategically, it’s best for them to do all the ‘boring stuff’ before playing games. When they ask if they can play Fortnite, you could say, “Yes, but after you’ve walked the dog or done your homework”. This teaches them about delayed gratification. The alternative to playing video games might not be as stimulating but it doesn’t have to be something they find horribly boring either. What if instead of playing video games they joined you grocery shopping or you took them to the skatepark or you made pancakes together. 3. There are other things I could be doing The truth is that when your son is playing video games they could be doing other stuff. They could be practising a sport, creating music or just hanging out with their family. They have more spare time when they are young than at any other time in their lives until they retire. Spending most of that time behind a screen isn’t the best for their healthy development – or your home internet plan. Video games like Fortnite can be a bit of fun, they can be social and they keep your son inside Most kids spend time at home doing pretty ‘boring stuff’ like chores or homework. Then when they play video games, they’re engaged in a hyperstimulating game that has hijacked their brain’s reward pathways, flooding them with hormones that feel fantastic. Compared to other things they do at home, it’s easy to understand why gaming is so appealing. There’s no amazing burst of reward chemicals being released in the brain when you finish doing the dishes. You don’t have to play Fortnite to show an interest in what your son is interested in. Ask him about Fortnite. You might be able to connect on something he is passionate about. Young people need their parents to remain involved right throughout their teenage years. This just might be your way into a great conversation. 2. It’s very addictive You can have too much of a good thing. Fortnite is designed as a very addictive game that always asks you to play one more round. If you are concerned about how much they play, then maybe you could approach it as a parent would approach any addiction. Offer support, limit use and offer alternatives. The challenge is to creatively present alternative ways to spend time other than ‘jamming some Fortnite with the lads’. house where you know they are safe. But they are a poor substitute for real experiences. If you are going to place more restrictions and boundaries on technology in your home, then think about loosening the boundaries in other areas of their world. It might help the conversation if you let them know that even though you are limiting their Fortnite time, that you will be letting them stay up later or go to a friend’s house or bus to the mall. Stay involved: You might not like video games and they may sound like a foreign language to you. You don’t have to play Fortnite to show an interest in what your son is interested in. Ask your son about Fortnite and what they like about it. Watch them play it. You might be able to connect on something they are passionate about. Young people need their parents to remain involved right throughout the teenage years. This just might be your way in to a great conversation.
