In-game Name*: Wolfgang
Why do you think you were banned?: "Excessive lobby idling " 
Why (in your personal opinion) should your ban be lifted?*: I'm an active player on Ahoyworld server, and i believe that i have done more good than bad. I'm not going to beat around the bush -- I was caught up doing an errand in my room while i was connected in the lobby, and i wasn't aware there was a idling timer meter activated. I was kicked 3 times, but i reconnected, because i was nearing completing my errand before i could stay on the computer full time.   
Which administrator banned you?: Unknown. No admin made the attempt to communicate with me and resolve my issue before banning me immediately as soon i made connection. 
When were you banned?*: 5/30/2015

To paraphrase the obese yellow skined balding oaf that resides on fox network

Zeus will be hosted when there are hosts suitable to do so.
I&A will be used when there are no hosts
 
I&A Zeus would be nearly pointless, it runs its self so Zeus could really only create side missions
 
 
There is however a definite guideline i would like to run over with the zeus hosting admins before opening it up to public event hosts.
Saturday we will learn some lessons

Well...its not every day that someone successfully calls me on my bullshit. Good thing I have a disclaimer in my signature...

While your idea to spawn some random patrols outside of the designated AO area is a sound one, the over-all idea will be limited by a few known issues.
 
First, AI units do not innately understand what a building is and how to occupy it, use corners for cover, check doors, etc. Even if they were to spawn inside one, chances are they would disregard its tactical value and enter search-and-destroy mode, spreading out into the local area. Either that, or they would have a pathing error and simply stand still with their barrel pointed into a corner, making it very easy to sweep the building and eliminate them.
 
Second, I&A on the whole uses a spawning system for both enemy units and placed stuctures/objectives (side missions) that cannot and likely never will understand the difference between a building and any other location of terrain. To the best of my understanding, it functions like so:
 
 
With this in mind, while it would be possible to spawn random squads around the map, it would be next to impossible to have them spawn inside random buildings between you and the AO, that would be like trying to take a blind-folded swan dive into your shot glass.
 
The best that could be done, in theory, would be to designate specific coordinates to tag along side each individual AO that spawn AI units in specific buildings near each AO. Problem with that is that each AO would have its own list of buildings to pick, they would all have to be EXACT locations, and they would be the same each time you ran that AO, becoming extremely predictable.

Something like this I suppose?
 

I'm hoping for some Comic Sans, Papyrus and some Curlz MT font choices. Beautiful. 

Straight from Razgriz's mouth, TMR was removed because the version that we had installed started spamming the server with a 1.5GB log file.

Howdy, Y'all!
As some of you may know, we here at Ahoy have been efforting putting together a Flight test that'll give you guys a chance to earn those wings and the status of accredited Pilot.
What is the significance of the ACCREDITED PILOT stamp you'll earn? Well, at the moment, nothing more than bragging rights, as well as a nifty little pin in the TS channels you'll get, that hopefully will fill future passengers of yours with the utmost of confidence that you'll deliver them safely, and in one piece, to their deadly, deadly LZ's.
In the future, however, we may consider this test as part of the admission process to Ahoy's Flight Club.*
So, this is the place to sign up for testing, as well as discussing any questions or comments you might have about the flight test, and putting forward any ideas you might have for an eventual flight club.
Lastly, I want to make sure everyone understands that this is not meant to lead to any exclusionary or unfair practices. Accredited Pilots will not by default have any special rights or privileges in our public servers. I think everyone can agree that one of the hallmarks of our community is the presence of an equal playing field, and we do not aim to disturb that.
*not yet a "thing", but it's on our radar

Increasing the amount of bodies?
 
Give me a zafir/mk200 and plenty of belts and we're good.

Ill download and bug-check the XML, its probably missing another "/"
 
Fixed.

Several of us were working in tandem with Jester yesterday evening to test out issues and problems within the 2.63 builds, here are the things that we identified and (tentatively) resolved, please give feedback if you encounter any more of these issues.
 
1) Ability to respawn on to other players
    -This was an issue in the BTC Revive scripting, we believe it is corrected as of 2.64
 
2) Players respawning at base lose any loaded VAS gear loadouts, reverting to their class's default
    -This was corrected with a config change in VAS, which was updated for this map build, fixed for 2.64
 
3) Players that were respawned by a medic in the field would lose their loaded VAS builds and either revive naked, or in class default.
    - This seems to be caused by a conflict between the BTC and VAS coding, but seemed corrected in 2.64
 
4) Medic classes dont initially have the ability to revive other players
    - Unsure of the cause, and have not confirmed if its fixed in 2.64, but if this happens, abort back to the lobby, briefly swap to another class slot and then back to medic, then rejoin. Should work.
 
5) Side mission rewards are currently only spawning the Blackfoot
    - We are aware of this one, cannot confirm if its been corrected but its most certainly not going to stay that way
 
6) UAV #2 respawns almost instantaneously.
    - This was caused by some internal developer testing of the UAV that required it to respawn faster, and should be corrected within the next release build.
 
7) Pawnee respawn time is aprox 60 seconds.
    - Brought this up, dont know for sure if its intentional or not, awaiting further info.
 
8) "Take Kavala" main AO spawns in the middle of the ocean, with no AI units, and cannot be completed
    - We DEFINITELY heard about this one, and while I cannot personally confirm that its been fixed (ask Jester), if it does occur again, the server will need to be restarted to get past it.

yes thank you i am okay,
i agree we are awesome! 
 
 
Dingo I'm shocked and chagrined, mortified and stupefied!! this goes well beyond the bounds of what we are expected to deal with as admins no amount of training could ever hope to prepare us for this.
rest assured that meetings at the highest levels will take place to examine, investigate, tackle this issue f*** it no we're going to laugh our socks off at this!!
I don't really know who should be offended here the pilots, the helicopters or the folks who like to dress "exotically" or maybe all three?
So to clear things up i have a few questions...
1) what exactly is a trani helo? we are well aware of the fact that the mohawk is an independent vehicle  (as in opfor, bluefor independent, nothing untoward) so is wearing colours that might seem strange to you but the shade of green isn't all that different?
2) large? are you saying pilots only enjoy the more curvaceous of cross dressers?? I would like to get a pilots input on this (again not a euphemism) Hoax, do you prefer large or slim men who wear ladies clothing?
3) why restrict the big girls to only pilots, manys a time I've seen a repair spec drive his bobcat into a mohawk to fix her up. Surely we aren't going to deny the mechanics a bit of helo lovin'?
 
on a personal level im very disappointed in Dingo and his flagrant disregard for decorum.
Disciplinary action will be swift and harsh much like █████████ ██████ █████ ███████ ██ █ ███ ███████ █████ ███ ████ █████ ███████ ███ █████ █████ ██████ ████ ███  [ed: we've had to redact this sentence as never before have such vile words been used on this forum and we're not going to start now! FSM knows standards have dropped in the last few days with this helicopter dressing up business!!!]
 
 
This guy took down Swayze, the devil, sorted out the matrix and was a time traveller but has never heard such a thing as trani helos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trani helos?!
 

Oh sure, yeah, he listens to you, but I still can't get him to take out the trash once a week. Pfft.
