    +1 I firmly believe Isaac to be a good candidate for staff. He shows a strong dedication to making a difference on the server and goes out of his way to do so. It wasn't till him did I see faction come together during my time here for community events. I've never seen nor heard him lose his cool or mistreat another member of this community. And as co-founder of Son's of Shariah he's put my work in the group to shame when it comes to involvement. 

     

    P.S. I think it be silly not to give this guy a chance

    • Describe yourself
      I'm a logical and collected individual with a strong sense of teamwork (Commercial Fishermen, Kodiak Alaska) where communication is life or death. I take directions well while holding good leadership skills. I work extremely well under pressure and in teams of varying sizes 2-50+ having worked in a large scale catering company (Sodexo & Levy Restaurateurs). I've lead teams of people of different skill levels and accommodating to their skill levels. I've also been an active member of the gaming community organizing events and hosting many of them after my graduation from the Art Institute of California- San Francisco with a degree in Visual and Game Programming and some of those during.
    • Why should you be a staff member?
      After all my time with the TLX community getting to know the players and staff I can help alleviated the stress and troubles that come from a growing community. Communities come and go but those that stand have something that keeps them going and that is the community. I've striven to help in the growth of this server with the help of Isaac in the few events we've planned and tried to get the involvement of staff and players to strengthen our relations. With the struggles of the current community I'm with at N&E Zombieland an Overpoch server I'm still an active admin on and its decrease in population to admin ratio I'd like to find a community that I can put my efforts into further. I was starting to grow tired of the game due to this till I found TLX and I have a a new fire.
    • What qualifications or experience do you have to offer? (if any)
      After much talk with other staff and hearing the third party software (RCon) you use which we also use on N&E Zombieland I feel it wouldn't take long for myself to settle into my role as staff. Aside from technical skills with related software I've been in the shoes of a staff member with other communities that I can lend advice, guidance, and strong leadership. I've had to work in environments with people of various ages, backgrounds, and skill levels all while maintaining a good image for the company I represent all while build a lasting experience for the customer. And in vary dangerous life threatening situations all while having to keep a level head (Salmon Fishing ain't no joke).

    its already a costly vehicle costing around 9 mil if i remember so we  cant spam it  that much unless the person has 100+mil in their bank and even then they dont  really go for the drone they most likely go for a wildcat or a venom 

    Shenanigans I know for a fact its those who do have the money. What I don't call it out on are those who have the money because they are skilled players who know how to use the Vic. I finished taking down two today with an igla launcher but this is where i make my end of this case. 

    1. The equipment needed to take down the vic falls on the shoulders of supports or those with money for an igla pod or launcher.

    2. The skill required to use this vic to its potential should be the ones with the skill to afford it.

    3. We found ourselves a new hindfor issue here (Something that can be countered with smarts or by being lucky)

    4. All things can be solves by making them pricey (The more they cost the more reason you should need to get them).

    Most things on this server should be treated on a case to case based. If theres a need for it then ok but unless "He who thinks he's head of some big terrorist operation and has a BDRM AGTM at the boarder" why would you need to spend the money. Buy based on the threat at hand. 7/2 blufor to indie? IEDs... Stryker to retaliate? BDRM... Drone? Help who's a supporter?! But I'm also a hypocrite cause ill grab a IED's just for SUV's. I just wanna see blufor make attempts like makings note and warning civs hey possible IED please route all traffic. Make us indies have to change it up.

    Tl;Dr- We all learn watching each other drown. All things have a solution. Be patient and get crafty.

    After I tested it, I feel that it isn’t really over powered for a few reasons.

    1. It has no defense mechanism besides being able to fly high.

    2. You really need to have an AI spotter if you want to lock onto near by vehicles.

    3. You can only lock onto land vehicles and not actual player models or aircraft if they are airborne. Blufor are only allowed to shoot vehicles in their territory, so remember this point.

    4. We have never had a problem with it throughout the whole time TLX has been up until now.

     

    Althought with its capabilities, I do feel the price can be increased to 10,000,000.

    +1 Yeah a price mark up sounds good.

    No one apart from staff should be using that slot anyway...i mean, its clearly marked. I will see about possibly adding more slots.

    I only ever have after having it cleared by one of the staff who are currently on. But this was before we had more staff coming to the indie side. But that would be amazing even if only an additional 2 slots.

    +1, I also think there should be a ratio either server forced or rule that keeps the ratio fair, it was redickulous about 50mins ago, 12 cops, 5 indie, 3 civs. Ideally this will get some of the people that would normally play cop to play other factions like opfor, civ or indie.

    Issue is that with so many slot for indie we now have to beg for TS sweeps in hopes for a slot. That and its a bummer when the staff slots only one open but is a use at your own risk. Not fun having to disconnect so that a staff can take it over. If anything add 2-3 more slots and have the staff slot ruled to be left open for staff only.

     +1The armed MQ-9 it has no flares but it can sit  5k up and can shoot across the map it has a range of at least 8k maybe even more.

    being 5k up makes it almost impossible to take it down as a  indie stingers cant see it and the zsu cant get to a good anoth angle to dhoot them down

    +1 Tried using AI as gunners for the different vic and they still couldn't reach the drone. Spent a lot of money to try and take them down. Yes them as in two!

    I say that the ticket should match the warrant. Most crimes will automatically set players wanted for a specific amount. some crimes don't have a set warrant  price, such as speeding, evading, and other nonviolent vehicle infractions. I don't think there is ANY need to give a ticket of more than 100k for these speeding infractions. if robbing a gas station sets you wanted for 100k there is no reason a nonviolent crime should be any more than that. The only reason a vehicle infraction should be more than 100k is if they destroyed property such as crashing into other vehicles or other things like that because once they start damaging others, it would no longer be a nonviolent crime.

    This has been an on going issue with a few players. And now that we have seen an increase in activity in the indie faction ts channels are getting chaotic. Between players like Jordan who channel swap just to provoke players which if your looking to use as RPing then take it to global or people wanted to talk about prior encounter (IE after being killed to talk about said death). Last are the players who aren't even ingame.

    It becomes an issue when half or the channel who are coordinating positions and avenues of fire have to go quiet. I can understand jumping into a channel to talk to a friend but request them to move.

    Sons of Shariah

     

    // Image of Logo coming soon //

     

    Backstory:

    Born of the remaining Islamic Extremists of the Islamic Emirate of Takistan or the IET and allied splinter groups forming from local criminals to turncoats and even PMC's. What once was a small group of fighters now have grown to be a sizable movement. Out of the damage cause by the occupation of the Nato-American Djinn's and the tyrannical Russian infidels along with the frustration of the locals and no longer going to stand idle.

    Current Operation:

    Having now become more that just an Indie faction bringing in opportunity for those who like to play the Civ Terrorist or would like to aid the efforts to retake Takistan and return it to its former glory. If you have something to offer to the Sons of Shariah then we have a place for you within our Brotherhood. Otherwise or goals from the former Islamic Emirate of Takistan still remain and thats to provide something more than your stereotype lone wolf suicide runs to the north and encourage an honest and fair enviornment.

    I only say this because blufor and opfor have easily differentiated camo so it would not be hard to play as you would not have to name check. They also allready have acces to stun shotguns so you would not need to buy them for all the civs. People can play as any faction when the log in so there is no need to have a mix of different factions. Players will naturally join whatever team they want and it would just be easier if the log in as one of the two factions.

    Well like with the party we threw if it means making this work. Though indies have different camo. If you'd like we both can scout a few good spots to make arenas. Anything to make this a fun event.
