To-Do List

Subject to change

• Serve the larger Arma community
• Recruit people to Arma
• Encourage and support new players
• Provide proper fort and sumo client settings (cockpit and camera settings)[I don’t make too many changes with cockpit. Maybe this is something more applicable to client version 4? I use the cockpit of someone else (have to look whos). I have my own camera.]
• I also changed the font and font size because I play at high resolution.
• There are enough settings out there, I guess. We need a tutorial for new players how to install them.
• Provide video tutorials
• Host servers
  • Pickup
  • Sumo
  • Flower Power Sumo
  • 4way fort
  • Fort

• Host tournaments (possibly with cash prizes)
  • Single day tournaments.
  • Leaderboard tournaments. (Player(s) with top score(s) over a week or month get a prize or other form of recognition.

• Encourage senior members to mentor newer players
  • Senior members will have a modified tag that indicates their willingness to help new players.
  • As part of initiation as a senior member, the person shall agree to uphold the community’s values.
