Welcome to the OFP / ArmA Community ...

[Iron Eddie 0]

I just hope you will enjoy the great BIS games OFP / ArmA etc...

What impressed me most (besides of the game/gameplay) when I started OFP multiplayer gaming was the attitude of the community...

I do hope and pray this will stay that way!

Actually, I am a bit scared of all the negative statements and partially flaming when I read any ArmA forum these days and play on the many servers (Thank you all for bringing them up! out there in the net.

It was (almost) always a nice atmosphere with a lot of respect for each other. This seems to change, especially the new 'community members' (Yes, you are a member even if you play public! sometimes show some lack of polite behaviour and respect for others and all the great work and lots of time, love and money that is invested (Servers, Addons, Mods, Troubleshooting for newbies, etc.) to keep the community alive and make it a place where we all can have a good time.

So, please avoid causing a bad atmosphere by discrediting others and the things they like, even if you do not like it.

Try to say it politely if you have an urge to say something.

Simply, please do try to avoid offending each others.

I can't and do not want to list all the things that belong to a good (or at least acceptable) social behaviour. This should be common sense (I am not a teacher, only concerned a bit ...).

Please think about my words and check it out for you if you'd like to take part in making the ArmA world a nice place to be, where we can have fun or, make it a bad experience....

You may add a note to your personal Rules Of Engagement...

So, I hope I could express my concerns and hopes understandable enough (English is not my native language ;-) at least you should get the point I think.

I wish you all a good time with ArmA and that BIS is going to do the best they can to iron out what needs to be ironed out, similar to the start of OFP.

Now, some games later I think the only way to reduce the risk of meeting **** in MP games is to select the servers you want to play on well and make extreme use of the kick button and ban lists ...

I now, sometimes I am a dreamer ...

btw: It is nice to see a lot of guys returning to the game that where 'MIA' ...
