  1. What I did Ozzy was not stonewalling. What I did was link a response that I had already provided. Were I stonewalling, I'd have said something along the lines of "it is being discussed" or "we don't have any information at this time". Instead, had you actually read the message, which I know you did since you replied to it, I said "Unless otherwise stated by Poseidon directly, there is no ETA on if or when legacy donator perks will become available to everyone. As for other donator perks, last I heard we are unable to monetize Altis Life as it is created by Tonic, who no longer allows monetizing his code." Provided in my answer was that THERE IS NO ETA. That is an answer, it means that we aren't planning on doing anything on the matter any time in the foreseeable future. I also stated that for other perks, due to restrictions put in place by Tonic, the creator of the Altis Life mission, we are NOT ALLOWED TO MONETIZE HIS CODE. This means that by all rights, we are not to give you something in game if you gave us money for it. This restriction is an augmentation to the Bohemia Interactive restriction which states (thank you Tman) "Selling of in-game items, that don’t affect gameplay, is allowed." Now what this means is, if something is different in ANY WAY (ie: carries more, provides extra protection, goes faster, does more dmg, etc.), then we cannot provide it in game as a reward for donating. What IS allowed, is where Clothes A is available to everyone. Clothes A provides no protection and has 1 pocket to hold stuff (example). A donator, could gain access to Clothes B, which ALSO offers no protection and has 1 pocket to hold stuff. As we already provide most of the clothing options available in vanilla (non-modded) Arma 3, there is not much we can add in at this time. I'm sure SOMEONE is sitting here thinking "What about legacy donators?! They have perks!" When we were contacted by Bohemia and told that we needed to comply with the new policy, it was stated that "New donations may not be provided with in-game rewards." Meaning that LEGACY DONATORS are authorized by Bohemia to keep their perks. This also complies with Tonic's requirement as the exchange of funds was already past when he put the restriction in place. So, now that I have written all that out, here is the answer on donation perks: At this time, Olympus Entertainment will not be offering any NEW in-game "rewards" for those who wish to support the Olympus Entertainment community via a donation through our donation page due to restrictions put in place by Arma 3 developing entity, Bohemia Interactive and the Altis Life mission developer, Tonic. All donations are welcome and greatly appreciated as they allow us to keep the community running where as without the assistance of our players, we likely would not be able to keep our doors open. If at a point in time, offerings in one form or another become available for those whom donate to the community, an announcement will be made via the Olympus Information Updates & Announcements forum. We at Olympus Entertainment thank our community supporters and hope to continue seeing you in-game and on the forums.

      One would sell a taxi license if they were tired of getting taxi requests.

  4. Holy necropost Batman.... This thread has been dead for OVER A YEAR.
  5. Wow this thread went to hell. As already mentioned, peace officers of all sorts (City, County and State for the US) are able to run a license place for no reason other than to run it. This is called a "Rolling Check" where they see a plate, throw it into the system and see what comes back. 95% of the time, the search comes back clean, registration in order, insurance up to date, no warrants, etc However, that other 5% will pop up a warning screen which shows either expired registration (do they have an up to date sticker? Stollen from another cary maybe?), their license is expired, the person has one of many different warrants, etc. All of these give cops the right to pull someone over at that point.As mentioned already, you were accused of reckless driving because your tire left the road. This is reckless driving, as is driving on the wrong side of the road or swerving between lanes. Reckless driving is a legal reason to pull someone over, usually to conduct a sobriety test to see if they are under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.Also as already mentioned, its 2035... its the future. In today's world, the technology for an officer to simply drive down a street and check every single license place already exists. In many major cities, multiple patrol cars are fitted with roof mounted cameras which scan all license places they pass and in turn, pop up any negative results on the in-cabin laptop. This technology could easily be fitted to a helicopter with a long range lens to allow for viewing license places. Add in the fact that most air cameras are mounted on a motorized gimbal, it would be a fairly steady picture for the system to analyze.The APD do what they can with what they have. They are hamstrung on how they can do certain activities and when someone (usually the 12th+ perp) starts bucking back saying "you can't do that" or "Its ok, I'm getting this on my go-pro" (side note, I'm about THIS close to proposing any mention of recording at all will result in player reports being automatically denied. Its getting out of hand), it makes sense that the officer is going to get fed up and just try to get you out of their hair. Its no different than dealing with an officer in the real world. If you give an officer an attitude, they are instantly going to have an issue with you and behave completely differently. They won't listen to your story, they will write your ticket and make you leave. Or they will simply detain you depending on what they are talking to you for.Point is, if you feel that something happened that shouldn't have, think about what happened, think about how YOU acted and go from there. I spectate all the time and more often than not, a civilian will get pissy and try too quote rules and end up ruining the officer's day, which results in the officer just wanting you to be gone. Either cut loose or in jail, it doesn't matter as long as you aren't in front of them. This also doesn't help, coming on the forums and pointing fingers at others, digging up old dead threads and antagonizing a large group of the community. All you are doing is creating a reputation for yourself which WILL end up translating in-game. Just like if someone in the real world were to have a "F*** the police" type website and are known by cops. They'll approach that person with an already negative connotation. Point is, nothing was done wrong based on what the officers AND YOU are saying. They attempted to role-play and you puffed up. Spool down your turbo, take a breath and play the game, because that's what all of this is. Its a game, everyone needs to remember that. And if you can't separate A GAME from real life, then you need to not play the game.
  6. At least it made it on the board. Yours on the other hand; UnoriginalZero FlairEffort LackingGive it a 0/10, could be better.
  7. No. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In regards to low medic activity, the largest issue in my opinion is, the role isn't for everyone. If I look at the roster RIGHT NOW, there are 92 whitelisted R&R, 96 if you include the coordinators. Of those, only 33 are Active or Semi-Active (semi-active meaning they've played a minimum of 2 hours last week OR the week before). The remaining 60 are inactive, which means less than 2 hours last week AND the week before. Most people it seems apply for Medic, try it for a couple days, get bored and don't return. They never get promoted (which is fairly easy if you actually play your first week) and never get a chance to earn money outside of the couple of revives they get. R&R is for roleplayers, not many players want to roleplay anymore, they want to make money and shoot people.
  8. I'm more curious about this supposed staff abuse. An accusation without proof is just being immature and frankly a waste of everyone's time.
  9. I believe the default is 45 degree actual head movement returns 120 degrees of in-game head movement.
  10. Or right click on the file you want to open, click "Open With", find Notepad++ (will probably have to browse for it) and make sure "Always use the selected program...." is selected. All files of that extension will now open with Notepad++ from that point on.

    Question

    I'll say it again... You can NOT be killed for refusing to revive someone. There is no dilemma here... if someone says don't revive or be shot... and you don't want to die... don't revive. If you are shot by someone else, its RDM. This is cut and dry...

    Also note killing a medic who refuses to revive someone will earn a fatty scar from the ban cannon.

    Medics cannot be forced to revive someone
  17. Actually Alexx, players are not allowed to report other players via a video posted on the forums. If we notice that someone is screwing with the rules, the wrath that is the ban canon/hammer/whatever else will surely strike you down with the quickness. Secondly, cool your jets before you take your foot and shove it farther into your mouth.
