Coalition Syllabus
Welcome!
ArmA is first and foremost a community-driven game. When we desire a feature, we create it. When we desired a fraternity, a close knit element of ArmA enthusiasts and content creators - we founded it. Since October of 2016, we have been creating private organized sessions in ArmA in order to support the "arma without the bullshit" attitude. Unlike other communities, we value solid gameplay and mission design to empower players and not fake ranks. A Community like no other, comprised of individuals who embody our values of Teamwork, Engaging Gameplay, Competition, and Fun. Since then, we've swelled to well over 100 members and have our own operating procedures and in-game elements that put us above the others.
Syllabus
This syllabus is designed to introduce you to the community as well as inform you on what you need to do next. Follow the instructions and you'll be in-game in no time. If you have any other questions, ask anyone in the #barracks channel on discord!

Discord
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. It is the one thing you are required to be active on. 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).
