ARK is an ARMA 3 community focused on delivering great gameplay in weekly event on Saturdays. We don't believe in adding redundant fluff or following complex milsim procedures for the sake of abiding by realism. As well as our ARMA sessions, we often play other games like DCS, Insurgency, Squad and CS GO, and chat on our active Teamspeak and Slack channels. ARK was founded in early February 2014, and since then we've grown from 5 players to 60 active members. All of our members were picked based on their fit in the group, rather than their skillset or experience in ARMA. If you're willing to listen and help contribute to the group, we'll be happy to have you aboard (and you'll just have to put up with the puns). THE PEOPLE Although our main focus is on the ARMA series, we do more than just play ARMA. Our Teamspeak server is always filled with people playing games or just chatting in the lobby. ARK's community Slack chat is consistently active, with discussions about everything from E3 hype to current affairs, and little to no arguments beyond whether or not IRC is superior to Slack. The core tenet behind ARK's philosophy as a group is mutual respect. In no position is it ever acceptable for an ARK member, regardless of their position or seniority, to attack or disparage another member. Arguments can happen, but mean spirited or rude behaviour has no place in our community. THE GAMEPLAY Our sessions are based around the idea of reducing downtime as much as possible, and creating as many interesting and unique moments as possible. ARMA missions don't have to have 40 minutes of planning and walking to be fun. We're in the action as soon as possible, and any moments where we're not getting shot at are spent having a good time and talking, not sitting in silence and counting our magazines. All of our missions are made from scratch with our players in mind. As a result, the variety of missions played is exceptional, ranging from terrifying and fast paced vehicle convoys to more careful objectives. While we mostly play missions against AI, each Saturday event will usually feature at least a few missions where we pit players against each other for a more challenging experience. THE RULES Players must be over the age of 18. Players must be respectful and willing to engage within the community. Players must have a working and audible microphone, be able to use Teamspeak 3 and install our custom modset. Players must own a legal copy of Arma 3, this includes the Apex expansion. Players must participate on a regular basis in our primary Saturday sessions, a minimum 1 out 4 Saturdays per month. Failure to attend sessions on a regular basis will result in player-removal. Our sessions are at 7pm UK time. JOINING US Applying to join our community is simple.

cyruz 103 Posted October 3, 2018 Just a quick update. We're still alive and kicking and always on the hunt for new members to have awesome experiences with. You're only required to do 1 session per month so if you've not got all the time in the world but still want to play with some mature friendly people in kick ass custom built missions, look no further!
