Okay, a few points I'm gonna drop, and I'll have to be quick about it to because I'm typing this sat waiting to start teaching a class. SL training or experience is the only way to effectively combat inexperience causing bad gameplay for players. Also, even experienced SLs like me sometimes fuck up. Trust me it happens I just don't let you see it I think making the role of a SL harder by adding in elements such as this will not be for the benefit of the server and gameplay. The job is hard enough already, trust me. Not having enough people wanting to lead has been a problem plaguing the server for a long time - as staff we have tried many things to fix it, or alleviate issues. I'm not gonna lie, there are many reasons SLs end up micromanaging things, but a key reason I see again and again is that people are unable to act responsibly enough to be trusted to not be micromanaged. I play SL a lot, and my last stream on the AhoyWorld Twitch channel is a perfect example of what can happen when there are good team leads. A good TL drives their team forward, communicates with the other TL and has enough common sense and battle sense to operate in a devolved manner. This frees up the SL to lead the squad or command the operation (the latter in the case of my last stream). There isn't a top down fix for the problem - only a solution built from the ground up with the support of all the players in a squad.

Top notch guide. Great stuff! Sent from my ONEPLUS 3T using a phone app that is really irritating because it constantly advertises itself.

When: 20th of May 2017 Check your local time by clicking here! Server Opens at 18:15 GMT Briefing / Planning: 18:30 Mission Start: 19:00 Mission Length: 120-180 minutes Map: ALTIS (NE) Mods: Standard AWE First person lock: No Loadouts: Pre-set Respawns: YES - No Conditions JIP: YES - MAX PLAYERS 37 Factions: BLUFOR (USMC MECHANISED) vs OPFOR (RUSSIAN VDV) Signup: https://goo.gl/forms/J8D49QZddidPwWIl1 Description: Russian VDV expeditionary forces have made yet another power play into the Mediterranean and have invaded and sized a large portion of the North East of Altis including a port. airport, and a major city. The VDV have landed approximately a battalion worth of infantry and armour. During the initial attack the VDV pushed all the way to Ghost Hotel and Pefkas Bay along with securing key infrastructure. Brief: Although severely outnumber, your platoon along with a flight of A-10s and minimal rotor wing support is tasked with counter attacking the Russian lines and securing FOBs until ground reinforcements can reach you. BLUFOR assets include: 3x Bradly M2 BuskIII 2x M1 Abrams TuskII 1x AH-Z1 Attack Helicopter 2x A-10 (AT) Ground Attack Aircraft OPFOR assets include: 2x Company seized infantry elements APCs IFVs Advanced MBTs Multiple SPGs A few rotor wing aircraft A few fixed wing ground strike aircraft Special Notes: This operation is meant to take a while and most if not all people are expected to die and respawn at some point along with multiple armor and air assets being destroyed. The resupply of vehicles is up to ZEUS. You are not meant to push the Russian lines all the way back. When key objectives and areas are secured FOBs (spawn points will become available and then unavailable if the FOB is over run) will become available. Scared Yet?

Gamenight did not run due to technical difficulties and will be rescheduled upon confirmation of resolution of issues. Expect a 1 week notice when this occurs Sent from my ONEPLUS 3T using a phone app that is really irritating because it constantly advertises itself.

Operation ran successfully, thank you to all that attended and made it a very fun night! Sent from my ONEPLUS 3T using a phone app that is really irritating because it constantly advertises itself.

Yeah I'll be running the SL side of things, so expect more swearing than Gordon Ramsey!

Definitely something that could/should be looked into for EU5. Not my Forte but I really like the idea

Failing that @Ryko is your man to answer how to remove it. I'd assume it runs on a script or inside of playerinit but I'm a noob so

I can see this is about to go off topic, so I'm locking the topic before it happens. I believe that the original suggestion has had sufficient responses to it for a general understanding of how the community feels about it.

@Doc AWE stands for AhoyWorld Enhanced. A full mod list is available at https://mods.ahoyworld.net/ under the enhanced tab. Here you can also find the Arma3Sync repo autoconfig to get the mods downloading for you. Gauntlet is the mission we run day to day on AWE, it is very different to the I&A style of missions. If you'd like more information, feel free to drop by the channels on teamspeak and we'll happily answer any questions! Zeus missions is a regular occurrence on server, so if thats your thing, then you'll definitely enjoy it.

Okay I'm going to put this nicely. The rules are fine as they are. If people wish for every event to be thought of in the rules, tough. It isn't happening. If people interpret should as to mean may, or can; then I will interpret staff discretion to mean kicked from server. The rules are simple, they are easy to follow; and failure to display behaviour in line with the spirit of those rules means you might as well have broken them. If people want to deploy to an AO without appropriate protection, expect an earful from me. It's really quite simple.

Here have one, free of charge too!

It's pretty simple, if you're going to be shot at, wear a helmet. If you plan on. Sitting your ass in base not going anywhere, sure wear a beret or something like that. Apply common sense - and yes, I know that will be hard for some of you Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using a phone app that is really irritating because it constantly advertises itself.

Wear a helmet. There's your answer Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using a phone app that is really irritating because it constantly advertises itself.

There actually is a rule about using common sense....might have to look into using that more often

Well has the server crashed since we did it? I don't think so...

But then we'd be accused of making rules that are discriminating against certain players - of course this wouldn't be the case, but it wouldn't stop it from happening. Personally I'd like to just invoke the use of common sense on the issue - but I know that'll be a stretch for some people

Welcome to AW, make sure to stop by the enhanced server some time - you might find it right up your alley!

Locking the thread before this turns into a he said she said type of thing. What needed to be said has been said. If you have any issues feel free to reach out to a member of staff and we will happily help you in any way we can. However, do not throw accusations round without some proof. Regards, Copey

Couple of things you can do: Check your ace files against the repo, you might find an error. If not, delete your ace folder and re -download. Force a Battleye update (this works most of the time) The error its showing is just telling you Battleye is blocking the ace file from loading, so by either updating the file or updating it, you should fix it

Thread unlocked. Yes there is a placeable, invisible item inside of the editor that can be placed too cut grass. It doesn't always work, and can be spotty sometimes but are you thinking for people to have in the field so grass isn't an issue when you are lying down? If so we'd need to look at a bunch of things. Feel free to discuss in thread and ideas or such. If a consensus is reached OP should make a separate feature request in the area mentioned previously.
