Greetings soldiers. This topic is aimed at those who just enlisted, those thinking of enlisting and those who are new to Armed Assault as a game. It's important for everyone new to understand exactly what ArmA- Theatre of War is really about.
The Heart of ArmA-ToW is the players. As simple as that. The people running this tournament, the people working on mods, the Players Council, the Web Dev Team.... ALL current players. If something goes wrong on a battle day, the people running the show are experiencing it first hand at the same time you are. There is no faceless tournament running company to tell you, "We'll look into the problem when we have time." You will get answers directly from the people working on the issue.
A quick history on ArmA- Theatre of War. After participating in another Armed Assault tournament that closed its doors, a core group of die-hard ArmA players stuck together. We had a dream, you could say. An ArmA community run By Players, For Players. We believed we could do it better. Do it right. From day one, members of this group began stepping up, volunteering there skills to build a community from scratch. Before we knew it, we had people working on our own official mods... people working on a website and forum, people out advertising and people stepping up as leaders to organize our armies. Thousands of volunteered man-hours! To keep our overhead low, we worked out very affordable deals on a game server and web hosting. It was all coming together. A true, quality place to play a fun, cheat free, player vs player game of Armed Assault was a reality. A place where even a new recruit could suggest a feature and it would be seriously discussed and looked at. Everything, built from scratch... for the player.
ArmA-ToW, or AToW as some call it, centers around the you the player. As our player base grows, so does the excitement of what's to come. We pride ourself on building a fully democratic ArmA community, who realizes the value of mature, quality players. We are still in the young stages of this community. We see the player as its heart and we count on new players growing and stepping up to help carry this tournament further. If interested, we encourage you to look at joining the Player Council, the Web Dev team, the Balance Team, the Mod Team, the UN or just working your way up to a high rank in your army. If you have the skills for the job, the motivation and the willingness to contribute... you're in the right place. If you just want to be a Infantry grunt in your army, thats fine too. As long as you are having fun here.
So, get out there. Blow stuff up, shoot each other in the face and capture those objectives! But be sure to have fun, hang out in the forums and on Teamspeak with your buddies and have a good laugh trading virtual war stories. And remember, we're glad you're here.
At ease, soldier!
