Smidge Griffkin

I forgot to mention this the other day, same thing happened to me. I think where it spawns the plane has too much of a gradient and causes it to roll/bounce down the hill.

Indeed. Him and Staan are the only two Blufor I really try to watch out for hahah.

I was told a back in February when I used it, that it is fine to do so, its there for a reason and can be fired because its not actually in the safe zone. Can someone confirm?

After having a drift war on the runway the other night and having a blast, id like to see another rally/street race or even a Takistan derby event hosted. That shit was fun as.

+1 I have not seen Bacon on once since his appointment. I can understand why a couple of others were really pissed off they lost the position to him. @ANC Would be my first choice currently. Even if only temporary.

As Indep I love using the AA12.... Saves a lot of money compared to buying an RPG7 and ammo on top of a primary weapon etc...

In-game Name Smidge Griffkin Steam Profile Link http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198065317401/ Gametracker Link https://www.gametracker.com/player/Smidge%20Griffkin/play.tlx-gaming.com:2302/ Country you live in New Zealand Time zone you live in NZST Date of Birth 06/04/1990 How long have you been a TLX player? Found it back in 2014/15. On this server currently 12665 mins. Do you meet the minimum requirements set above? Yes Have you previously been banned from the server? No Have you previously been a staff member here? No Describe yourself I am a 28 year old meat popsicle, a father of one, currently studying at university while I take a well overdue break from contracting. I am pretty chilled out most of the time, although I can lose my cool like everyone. I am always down for a bit of shit talking and jesting, I can take as good as I get.. I have played arma2/dayz since 2012 and can say it is probably the game I have enjoyed the most during my gaming life. It always draws me back regardless of what mod or game mode it is. I know not everyone in the community will react positively to this application, but that is expected. Im only here to offer myself as a helping hand. Why should you be a staff member? The main reason I would like to help out with staff is that during the times that I tend to play, the staff from around the globe are asleep or busy with work/school, and are just unable to help... we have problems where people use this to their advantage and use the time to break rules and make the general experience less enjoyable for others. My studies are about to conclude for the year and I will find myself with a lot more spare time as I did prior to February. Because of this, I will be online a bit more often as I was earlier in the year, id like to use the time to assist in community/server. I am always open to hearing all sides of a story and dealing with problems fairly for all parties involved. I like helping and teaching people when the need arises. What qualifications or experience do you have to offer? (if any) Unlike most of the people here, I was not a member/staff of RISE or the DNICE days etc... (what a fucking casual). I have been an admin on a few dayz Epoch servers, a couple of overwatch mod servers and I have owned and run my own Epoch and Origins servers. I know its not a walk in the park all the time. Having a child has taught me how to deal with younger folk extremely well, to relate to them and how to better control my temper when dealing to them when the need arises. In my line of work I am always in charge of a small team of other tradesmen, I have 8 years worth of experience as a site foreman for my fathers concrete contracting business - running crews and organizing logistics, payments, dealing with disagreements, liaising with clients and all the other goodies entailed.... all while getting in the mud myself. I know how to manage my time and that of my subordinates effectively. I know this is not in game experience, so to speak. But its real life experience with people that can be used accordingly, as the people make the server what it is. Thanks for taking the time to read my application and I look forward to seeing both the positive and negative feedback. Cheers, Ash.

Keep Opfor and as @Kanementioned, more of a boots on the ground hands on style of play as opposed to loading hardware up with AI and not having to do anything. Make South Takistan great again.

Makes sense, they are valid reasons for use of a mortar in my opinion as opposed to just nuking an area in hopes of getting kills. I admit I do love watching the odd white phosphorus barrage from afar lol. It only takes one or two retards to ruin it for everyone though.

Oh ya, does it effect thermal vision? And guided missiles etc? If that's the case then I'm partially convinced already.

I realize that @Unknown. But it was mentioned so I had to contribute LoL. Personally I don't see the point of using the mortar just for laying smoke. Someone change my chain of thought regarding this...

Hmm, I don't know if most of you recall back when mortars were allowed earlier in the year, and how cancerous the server was. You couldn't log in without Rasman being flattened, those who were using them weren't really even targeting Blufor/Opfor, more so just indiscriminately firing into populated areas. Certain players found locations where they could set up and avoid radar detection, further causing problems when it came to dealing with the issue directly in game. As soon as the rules were implemented the problems ceased... All I can see happening is people abusing mortars again if they are allowed out of wartime. They cause far to much collateral damage than necessary in built up areas, and it kills my frames by like 10-15 when everything is in ruins...... What can be achieved with mortar fire can be done with IED's and RPG's anyway... Either that, or remove the op targeting computers. Make them operable by manual means only... This is just a personal opinion so don't take it too hard. -1

Agreed. Even if they dont have a mic it still pays to be able to hear what your team mates are doing. Not only that, but we have been getting a lot of paycheck farmers sitting afk lately... its not fair on people actually wanting to play. More frequent sweeps of the ts and checking for afk players needs to happen.

Oh yea, there is no denying that. I was once a teenage lad myself, its human nature... I don't think I have better control over myself nowadays.... I know it. You might not, but that's because you don't know me. Yet. Thanks for the feedback guv.

Lol...

Im not looking to get yung @reviils in trouble or anything. But watch this and determine whats going on... And can someone better clarify as to what the fuck happened. Desync?

I can get the footage a bit further back if so required, to show that we didn't fire on him apart from the first video (videos are not in order). Regardless, it almost seemed as if those rockets were intended for the fleeing Blufor, not us. That video in particular was to show the arrival of the Blufor and the rocket barrage that followed him. In the first video we all gone done fucked up lol.

The milkman must have paid a visit to my house then, and damn he must look a lot like me. Either that or I unknowingly conjured my child via black magic and bloodletting. Now, as for the video sunshine, prior to what I uploaded that pilot was doing as you stated, flying high and fast most likely spamming his targeting looking for easy kills. But...I and the indeps online at the time evaded that shit.... He dropped his guard, acted foolishly and it cost him.. I was a civilian too btw, and not prepared initially to take on a Hind. Ill say it again... Get good. Learn to play. Learn how to thwart radar and use cover and the surrounding environment more effectively. Learn to command AI better. Take a different route. If they have hardware in the sky, then invest in something different than an FAL and a motorbike for once... IGLA pods are effective... Work on a solution in game instead of crying for rule changes and trying to limit the operational procedures of Opfor. Meh.... I don't care it doesn't bother me. If you guys got your way and Hinds were made no go... then Opfor would most likely just beef up armored patrols and positions in the mountains. Given the amount of bitching in regards to the Hinds, that would be the next topic "Ban tanks/apcs at the border REEEEEEEE"

Best of luck mate.

Random I have never come across this issue before. I wonder if it has anything to do with stat saves...

Why raise the required amount of Blufor online to 5? 3 is plenty unless you are dealing with a large group of bank robbers... If Blufor are being slack and not responding to robberies then the issue is not the number of officers online, its the attitude of those playing already. Bank robbing does not need a longer cooldown, you cant hit the same safe twice in a row anyway.... in the time it takes to hit all 3 safes, any half competent officer can come in and do what needs to be done. I like @0rbz suggestion of requiring more gear to crack the safe, Its strange we have to have a weapon but are not required to bring in a sledgehammer or jackhammer to actually open the safe etc... What needs to happen is the Blufor/Police need to maintain a presence at the bank to deter criminals. The only reason we rob it so often is because some of the current Blufor roster are fucking useless.... As for people disconnecting after robbing the bank, it needs to be treated just like combat logging, and they should have the money removed by staff. So IMO we don't need more rules regarding robberies. We just need Blufor to pull finger and actually respond to robberies correctly......e.g tasers and gas grenades, not an almighty barrage of nades or a TOW the bank or just storming the building guns blazing without making comms.

Could do, its not like I have much to lose. lol

Unless its me dumping my hot load on you.... To be honest, I don't understand why people think the Hind is some godlike piece of equipment.... as you can see below, they will drop just as easy as any other aircraft if you hit it in the right spot or if you can take the crew out. People just need to get good.

Palpy got a perma yea?

Lmao. He went full wakbars.
