Just paid this months server hosting fee (£54) . There is just enough funds left in the account for next months payment, so any voluntary contributions will be more than welcome

We currently have
4 x folks contributing monthly via paypal subscriptions (Total £21.38)
2 x Folks contributing via bank transfer (Total £18.06p)
I put in £15/month on top of that


Total running costs

Game server colocation: £54
Addon file server £14,40
We no longer have a website so no hosting costs there
This does not include the annual subscription for Firedeamon and the domain name registration
So income = £54.44/month
Expenditure = £68.80
We have £58 in the bank/paypal accounts

I have added the following addons to the reforger server, this should help with the latest missions you are playing.

"modId": "5B0D1E4380971EBD",
"name": "COALITION Squad Interface",
"version": "1.4.8"
This is a shack tac hud to help you out with the compass issue


And to stop insta death, this mod and its dependancy will always make you unconscious before you die, hopefully allowing another player to treat you and prevent your death.


"modId": "5EE4F56A883654EB",
"name": "Stay Alive",
"version": "1.2.2"

"modId": "60E2F3F9883D688C",
"name": "Stay Alive Core",
"version": "1.0.1"

My apologies forgot to pay the monthly fee, its back up now

For the last couple of months, Wednesday Server#2 gamenights have dwindled in player population to the point where we now consider them to be practically dead. After reviewing your feedback and discussing options, we’ve decided to replace the Server#2 gamenight on Wednesdays to instead be an additional Server#1 gamenight.

This means there are now two Server#1 gamenights per week (Sun & Wed) while there will be just one Server#2 gamenight (Sat).

This event will be special since Folk ARPS will be inviting players from multiple communities. Number of attendees to this event could reach relatively high numbers (~80 players current estimate) so we can expect to be involved in some large battles. Other than that, the event will be run similar to previous joint community gamenights we've had with Folk ARPS before so the general rules and expectations should still apply.

Date: Sunday 11th December
Start Time: 19:00 GMT warmup, 19:30 GMT main missions begin
Recommend you arrive for warmup

Basic Guideline

Teamspeak Channel Commander
For inter-squad/group comms (i.e. command net), Folk ARPS uses TS’s Channel Commander (CC) feature. Setting this up is easy, see the guide on their website: https://www.folkarps.com/teamspeak
You will need to have this setup if you are in a leadership role (or pilot).

Considerations
- Missions will be coop and each mission will typically last no more than an hour in duration.
- Role slotting is done pretty much the same way as we do it.
- Vanilla revive system. Depending on degree of damage taken will determine if you are downed in a revivable state or immediately killed.
- Perma-death, 1 life per mission. Respawn may on occasion be granted but should not be expected.
- JIP is discouraged. In their words, "JIP is usually technically supported but doctrinally we try to keep it minimal".
- Respect Folk ARPS’s players, admin team, server rules, etc.
