Sorry

Hey everyone, Ky here, as usual, who else post's announcements on Steam?

As you probably figured from the headline, something's wrong.
I'm going to be honest and say I'm in a bad spot right now, a recurring theme it seems, and I'm sure there's a couple of you that are rolling your eyes right now and making guesses as to when I'll reappear.

Truth is, it's not even about TF-U anymore, that ship sunk months ago, I've been thinking maybe things would go back to normal if I kept trying hard enough, but honestly that was a dumb lie to myself.

Real life has caught up with me, I find myself sad more often than not, and any attempts to dig myself out of this hole I've dug myself fall flat.

However, as disappointed as I am with myself and my failures, I still take pride in getting back up as many times as I did, my greatest achievement has been U-SOG and TF-U, even if it didn't blossom into anything 'substantial' I'd like to think I've given you all some fond memories to look back on.

That was the original goal of it, and at least I managed that.

Anyway, I'm not going to be doing anything with the clan at any point in the future, I've finally given in and decided to end that struggle.

What I do want is for you guy's to stick with eachother, every one of you is an amazing individual, I've learnt a lot from every one of you, and you've built strong friendships with eachother.

Take care of yourselves, I'll be around, just got to sort myself out.

Revival of ArmA III Scenarios, Mission Organization Revamp

SchreiberinRemi — Sat, 12 May 2018 07:45:31 +0000

Hi all (or whoever still reads these things),

As per Kyan's request, I'd like to ask everyone to pitch your suggestions for what new elements we can add to missions to make them more enjoyable. The hope is to branch out and do more varied mission types than just infantry, so try to avoid infantry-centered suggestions unless you think it would be something unique and new for us.

Additionally, we need to know what the group consensus is regarding overall mission style: do you enjoy Kyan's "story-driven" mission-by-mission campaigns or the persistent ALiVE-style missions? Would you prefer a combination of the two? Let us know.

Detailed suggestions for scenarios that have some backstory but are not too complex to assemble/require too many mods are highly appreciated and encouraged.

Lastly, I want to let everyone know that Kyan has heard your lamentations about the Takistan map, and will be making moves to transition away from it. To do so, he needs your suggestions for scenarios, so let your ideas flow freely and don't hesitate to pitch something to him or to me.

Thank you for your consideration (and for actually taking to time to read this junk).

P.S. Some of you are probably wondering why I'm the one writing this when I don't even play ArmA anymore. Should we start some kind of new mission campaign, I'll likely give it a try despite my own opinions on ArmA in general.

Hey everyone!
So I'm going to delve into some stuff I normally don't talk about in these announcements, and hopefully you'll stick with me as I go through it.

As quite a few of you know, I'm a pretty strong person in terms of my emotions, I'm a very calm individual and I'd like to think I'm an excellent person to talk to in times of distress or concern, and usually I am also good at reassuring myself in times like those, however just a few days ago I got hit really hard by a feeling of hopelessness, and I couldn't seem to bring myself back.

Basically there's been a lot going on with me that I've tried to keep invisible from you guys and gals, various family conflicts, inner doubts, and questionable stability in my future really weighed on me for the past few weeks, and it led me to kind of distance myself from the group, something which I've never deliberately done ever before, to be honest it scared me, because I consider a lot of you to be good friends, and in a few cases, family.

A couple of you might be worried for me right now, but don't be, I am pretty darn tough and I refused to let those fears consume me and bring me down.

With that out of the way, I just want to let you all know that if you are in a dark spot, if you do need some reassurance or advice, or just someone to talk to, I am here, and I hope that I'm right in saying that everyone else in this group is just as willing to chat about these things as I am, because that is friendship.

*WHEW~~!*

With all that aside, I'd like to talk about something which I have been neglecting you guys of, and it's of course the reason for the title.

I want to get back into Zeusing, I've been lost for ideas, the campaigns I've tried building have all failed for one reason or another and I am itching to go back to the glory days of our small-scale, story-focused operations which really dragged you guys in to the group in the first place.

What I need from you guys is just ideas, we won't have a poll, or a competition, or a vote, I just want raw ideas for a scenario that you yourself would enjoy participating in.

--

Holy jeebus, I am the master of text-walls, Level 100 has been achieved.
And it's 3:23 AM and I should REALLY be sleeping right now.

Anyway, I'm keen to hear from you guys and I'm especially keen to get back into my passion in ArmA 3: Zeusing, and creating the stories you guys enjoy.

Have a great day, and don't forget to pummel me with ideas.
- K.

[OPREP] Vindikater's CLAFGHAN Sandbox

Kyan — Mon, 01 Jan 2018 10:23:28 +0000

Hey everyone!
Recently I've been hanging out, giving advice to, and editing missions for our friend Vindikater, who is one of the primary admins of the TS and the host of his very own dedicated servers.

Vindikater has for the past few days been beta-testing his own freshly made Clafghan mission, and as an independent server host and group leader myself, I figure Task Force Unity should step up to try his new gem out.

For those interested, here's the modlist: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1238918557

Something to note is that penalties are proper in this mode, you are not allowed to use Arsenal, each base has a dedicated armory containing equipment that US forces in Afghanistan would realistically have at their disposal, this also has the added effect of creating a mini economy, in that if we lose too much valuable equipment, we may be left with the runt of the litter in terms of armaments.

Vindikater has said that he'll be hosting and actively trying to get players in tomorrow (Tuesday 2nd, January 2018) and should be hosting all day.

That's all from me, hope to see you there, and as always, have a good one.

[Operation] Sahrani Conflict

Kyan — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 10:35:26 +0000

Greetings.

Here's a little bit of backstory on an upcoming campaign set on Sahrani.

[SITUATION]
Sahrani, 48km off the coast of Spain.

With a increasingly deteriorating government, the small island of Sahrani is in trouble, it's military has fractured under the crumbling will of it's government and has formed two distinct groups, the original Royal Armed Corps of Sahrani, and the newly formed Sahrani Liberation Army.

On one hand, the Royal Corps wants reunification and to bring stability back to their damaged island and it's government, the Liberation Army wishes to bring down the government and the Royal Corps with it, asserting full control over the island and constructing a new government out of the ruins.

The British, having good ties with Spain, have offered to help ease the situation and attempt to bring stability back to the fragile region, and with the permission of the Spanish have moved a naval force consisting of two Frigates loaded with supplies and assets to Rahmadi, just off the coast of Sahrani.

The Commonwealth is in the process of establishing itself as a presence around Sahrani, but the Liberation Army is not backing down, and show's no signs of submitting to the RACS or the Commonwealth any time soon.

Welcome to Sahrani.
