I think it would be cool to have a way for content creators to use in-game currency to purchase television, radio or billboard time/space to promote their youtube or twitch channels. I would suggest an in-game threshold of achievements or experience to allow players to spend in-game currency to submit specifically geared advertisements to be used in-game. Maybe requiring the video ad to be recorded using in-game footage or audio recordings or billboards that would all require mod/admin approval. Games have always done better than expected when a live streaming or youtube community is supporting it, on top of the support they already have. Allowing dedicated players to earn their right to show the community their content would encourage more creators to use the game for even more future content. The only issues would be the potential for the "youtube" effect where over time real advertisers begin mucking up the lighthearted point of promoting the games own community. This would probably fare well for the dev team and could help expand the game even more, but is just something that could happen if the game impresses the amount of people a game like this should. Another issue would be larger youtubers from doing the same thing, but in the long run it would help the community more. I'm just rambling by this point. Just my suggestion, not something that I have thought about too deeply or would feel inclined to press the idea. Just a random idea I thought would be neat, to go along with the already shown TV system.

Are you concerned with publicity for the game or just personal preference? I don't see how this would hurt anyone, it'd only help the devs spread the game to more people. Sounds good to me. Personally, I'd prefer the game to grow and bring in other players with support of content creators.

I'm happy to check in and see a thriving forum community to dive back in to, so I finally whipped up an account to start chatting. I am here from Asylum, being on the servers since mid 2014. I've racked up around 2000 hours on server 3 alone, before focusing on a wider variety of games and working to make more video content for YouTube and Twitch. Others here who have been on the Asylum servers as long as I have, have seen players and staff come and go, keeping to our grinds and preferred play styles, but I am just like the many others who just kinda got burnt out a bit. It got kinda stale, but far later than I expected. Asylum made it to where ArmA was well worth it's money. I'm so fucking excited to see this project be as good as we had hoped. Asylum has grown to a huge community and being apart of that active community growth was pretty damn great. THIS, looks like a whole different 'something' to be apart of. This looks like it scratches and itch that you didn't even know ArmA gave you. Happy to say I'll be on board 100% and will be there beta day #1, ready to go. Over the years you run into devs on servers, either having good or bad experiences. Every time you get into some type of dev or admin shenanigans with these guys, they always end up as good times. That's a great team to trust when helping a game be developed. I want to say hello to everyone from the Asylum servers and everyone who has come here from other ArmA related life servers. I also want to say hello to everyone who is new to this type of community and are potentially even more excited than any of use spoiled life players could be. Anyone who stumbles upon this game will really have their mind blown away. Where are you guys from? I'll be contributing regularly here from now on, having realized the website is so polished now. I feel bad for being so late. Can't wait to see you guys in the beta! YouTube: www.youtube.com/thetruemac Twitch: www.twitch.tv/thetruemac

I'm more so interested in seeing what the devs are able to do when they're no longer restricted by the ArmA engine and mission files for the servers. From what I've seen, this game will over-satisfy. Hello everyone.

Hello from US!

I bit my tongue until I saw more content, thinking it wouldn't live up to expectation. I have to say, this shit is ridiculous. So ready.

I have had the opportunity to be on 3 different police forces, including Asylum. I plan on joining immediately as the feature is available.
