!2cool Great vid and pics! Was a fun mission, though it was difficult, too.

Random LAN_WROTE ... Heya guyz, been playing on your insurgency server for several months and more recently playing ACE with Jager and LAMBS. Is this OP open to anyone that signs up or VG members only?? Yes, if you want to join us, we'd be happy to have you! Please install those mods now, ahead of time, and be sure your ACE and ACRE are updated. See top post for mod list, and as Outlanders stated, most of us use client side mods as well, most important, @sthud and @stmovement. @st_interact is good, to, it allows you to re-form a group in the field (say, the team lead gets killed, someone else can take command of group and it alters the st_hud accordingly) Again, for last minute joiners, install mods now! No last minute problems - that's what the warmup time is for! See you on the battlefield! !cheers

SavageCDN =VG= LAN_WROTE ... Sorry for the last minute event.. better than nothing, right?? When: Saturday September 29th 18:00 GMT - warmup and troubleshooting (1pm EDT) 19:00 GMT - Mission start (2pm EDT) Where: Veterans-Gaming Events Server 5.9.23.136 port 2312 Password: vg Server is now up and running please make sure you can join BEFORE tomorrow's start time. What: The Namalsk Campaign Mission One There is little to no intel on the situation on Namalsk. A Russian military company called the NAC is known to be conducting 'experiments' on the island but up until recently those activities were limited to small unit training exercises involving new firearms and ammunition types. The UN closely monitors the situation on Namalsk and has an officer on the island under an observational capacity. Last month a shipment arrived escorted by Russian naval vessels and construction began on a massive underground structure. Nothing was known about this structure, and when the UN asked for more information they promptly lost all radio contact with their officer. Last night a US escort carrier off the coast of Namalsk picked up a large... 'event' of sorts. Not quite an explosion but more of a huge power surge originating somewhere on the island. No further communication with the island has been possible. Command has tasked us with a recon mission to get a better handle on the situation. Mod List: (both ACE and ACRE have had recent updates!! Make sure you have teamspeak closed when updating ACRE!!) @ACE @ACEX @ACEX_RU @ACRE @CBA @CBA_A2 @CBA_OA @JayArma2Lib_new @namalsk @NC @st_interact Of course all client-side mods are allowed: Blastcore, JSRS, st_movement, st_hud, etc. Who: Roster so far: (scratch the 14 player version - I made the 20 player version work for any size group) SavageCDN Gaz Wooz Iffn Lupago Murderface Outlanders SemlerPDX Morrison Fastjack Sam Poffadder Random Eclipse Team Leader POFFADDER Corpsman WOOZ Sniper Spotter Fire Team Leader SEMLER Automatic Rifleman SAM Grenadier OUTLANDERS Saboteur ECLIPSE Fire Team Leader MURDERFACE Automatic Rifleman MORRISON Grenadier IFFN Saboteur SAVAGE Fire Team Leader GAZ Automatic Rifleman LUPAGO Grenadier RANDOM Saboteur FASTJACK Fire Team Leader Automatic Rifleman Grenadier Saboteur

Great videos! !2cool

I'm in, if there's a FT open, put me down as the lead. If not, throw Outlanders and I in with someone else...

Point well taken. Jerry did say "mods/addons etc." And we say "false advertising" not "fake publicity" here in the States. !lol Here (was) the title as Fallujah (2nd revision): Please use the next photo with ACRE/Blastcore And another with ACRE and Blastcore Mod Logos: And here the postcards in an .rar file: arma2postcardsvg.rar PITN LAN_WROTE ... And can we get the transparent PNG's of the logos and banner so we can play in GIMP? Here's an .rar of VG logos in png and various other formats (can be converted to PNG w/MSPaint): vg_logos_and_imgs.rar

Okay, I don't have photoshop, and I suck at this kind of stuff - but I had this pic from Saturday's event with Outlanders and Wooz in my AT Fireteam. Perfect photo for a postcard. Oh, and I realize it's on the custom map Fallujah, but seeing as how that's a mod, I put the title as Takistan (who's gonna know?). I had to use MS Publisher and then use MS Snipping Tool to actually capture the mat. I'd love it to be included in the 3 to be sent to Jerry:

Well, it looks good. Fast, buttons where you'd expect them. Tabs for all thing's you'd want - music, video, blog, etc. I've signed up, and found most everyone on this list. Hard to imagine a clan based website built out of that, not that I lack vision, but it seems social sites feature the "home page" as either my own profile page, or a mass wall page like facebook that shows all my friends and follows activity. Right now, we have a main page (veterans-gaming.com) that has a chat bar, featured news items, and a forum list of top 10 popular threads. I wonder how this new site's main page will compete with this, in features or looks. There was a joomla template from a ways back that I liked a lot, but this is very well done as well.... Gonna keep playing with it, and will post another reply with more thoughts later. !coffee

Now...hold on there. We have an 8 core beast with 32 GB of RAM - surely I could set up a "custom server off the grid" that players can join (say, 5 slot map/mission) loaded with all the mods needed, and people could use it during the week leading up to the event to Sync and be sure their ACRE is working with a friend. It could run on 1 core, again, tiny "mission". No real mission, just 5 slots, a gear box with the radios, and a server with all the mods. We could call it the VETERANS-GAMING COOP 1.62 | EVENT SYNC SERVER or something...I dunno, first cup of coffee... !coffee

When cooking with space mutants or the undead, remember - 30 minutes per pound at 350 degrees. And fresher is better. It's a good thing. !lol

I need this guy to get his own GUID - his ban was poorly documented - thought I worte "tk per ciro sem" but cannot find a guid with that annotation. Join any server and type: #beclient players Press Page Up or Page Down while in chat bar, to scroll chat up or down, and get a screenshot of your GUID so I can unban you.

Get me your GUID and you will be Un-banned, and placed on probation - we will be watching. Please be extra careful and identify your targets at all times before pulling the trigger. Try to avoid use of mass destruction weapons such as grenade launchers unless you are working an overwatch and coordinating with any teams in the AO. Do not rely on your map to tell you where every soldier is. It can relay false information, or old intel at times. If we get any more reports of excessive teamkilling, you will again be permanently banned from all our servers. Don't make me regret this.... !boss

Thank you very much Murderface!! Your support is greatly appreciated! This is the announcement, the first thread post brought over to second page: (thank you for your support!) This is a public support call-out from your friendly admin, eMaj. =VG= SemlerPDX. major fan of VETERANS-GAMING servers, clan membership status aside I'd like to extend a personal Thank You to all those who donate to keep VETERANS-GAMING servers up and running. Your contributions, no matter what amount, are greatly appreciated! I can barely afford a few bucks here and there, but it all adds up... BLuDKLoT cannot, as one man, pay for all of this for all of us; You all help so much! !cheers Myself, I dreamt of properly administrated servers such as these back when I was at the mercy of first party servers dating all the way back to Socom Online for PS2. They were free, but void of assistance (technical or administrative). Here you...we all...have a voice, and with it, power in our games. _____________________________________________________________________ We here at VETERANS-GAMING will always provide servers for public use and maintain them with the most due diligence required. We will continue to ensure that teamkillers, hackers, and disruptive players are swiftly dealt with so that you, as the player, may enjoy the true levels of playablilty and immersion that the teamplay and communication we promote here embody. With your continued support, we are able to offer contests with awesome prizes, games, and other great additions to come. We will continue to add servers for the newest and hottest wargames released, while keeping servers open for your old favorites. PayPal is considered one of the most secure ways to donate and pay for goods online, and it's as simple as signing up. A one time donation can greatly help VETERANS-GAMING maintain the servers you enjoy. As we expand to include new servers featuring such games as the upcoming Arma 3, we need your help to perpetuate our vision of clean, smacktard-free gaming environments to play in. We admins, of course, will always continue to volunteer our time to enforce the rules of all our servers. Please consider signing up for PayPal today and making a donation, no matter how small, to VETERANS-GAMING and help us keep this tradition of international fraternity and cooperative teamplay alive. Thank you for your support!

Well, to be fair - this will be looked into further. Again, please be patient. We do our best to keep the server clean, and will get back to you on this matter.

Still waiting for ciro... would be great to get the first hand report. If you were named as a mistake along side real team killers, I will understand... Lets see what ciro has to add...

Listen - I'm not going to try to repeat what I wrote in your original unban request - btw - it had been moved by me to the appropriate forum section (this one). You did not need to delete it. I will refer you to the chat box message I sent you: chat to Cyber-soldier ... (5:53PM) Me: yo bro. Listen, if this ban was a mistake, I will be the first to appologize, but I need to wait for the reporting individual to put up their report. Trust me, if reports are falsified, it is the person requesting the ban that will get the hammer, and you will be unbanned. I just want to make sure (our) servers are free of asshats. Please be patient. Thanks! (5:54PM) Me: (I have server reports to cross reference all of this, and haven't looked yet...but I will be. The truth will always come out. )

(still gotta make that blooper reel - note the file: "PITN Lands Harrier Gear Up" !lol )

here you go, bro: (click for full size) Same photo, downloadable:

looks like your GUID there for tony is missing some characters.... I'll try to cross reference with the server logs... Thanks for the report!!! !cheers

banned!
