Discord is our go-to chat communication medium to keep all members informed on administration, mod repository updates, announcing when other games are being played, and just generally keeping in touch with others within the community. You'll notice members are organized by colors in discord. Purple is new members, green are full-time members (part of the company), and red members are staff (NCOs and Officers).

As a note: Discord is a required part of this community. We recommend you also get the mobile app on your phone here for android or here for apple phones.

Discord Channels

In order to separate banter from mission design conversations, the discord is split up into different channels. All with their own functions. Some channels will only be avaliable to you when you’ve become a full member of The Coalition.

Announcements: Usually important announcements made by HQ, such as modpack updates or forum changes.
Session: Announcing when pre-join is available and when missions are starting. Mostly handled by Coalitionbot
Repo: Modpack updates and displays whenever the repo is offline for maintenance.
General: Anything goes in this channel. Post memes or just chat.
Barracks: The direct line to HQ and Specialist for new members to ask questions and schedule orientations.
AAR: After-Action Report, this channel is for pictures and videos of previous sessions. Also to chat about what went wrong/what was good with the mission.
Now-Playing: If you’re playing something and want to bring some people in, announce it here. Also a channel for posting your stream. No discussion should be held in this channel.
Other-games: Anything not ArmA related, talk about other games than ArmA.
listentothis: Got a fat track you want to share? Post it here.
Tech-Support: If you’re having any issues ArmA or non-ArmA related, post it here.
Mission Design: Anything Mission Making related, if you need help or want to bring up an idea you had about a mission post it here.

-==Scheduling your Orientation==
-In order for you to take part in your first session, you must attend an orientation in which we go over all mod features and controls as necessary so that you can hit the ground running on Friday or Sunday.
-To schedule an orientation, use the "#barracks" channel in discord and simply state what day and time you'd like to do yours. Here's an example:
