01 // UNIT_INFO
Praetorian was founded on July 19th, 2021. Our founders experience with traditional, serious milsim units, formed our unit's approach towards Arma of "Lets keep things real, but at the end of the day, it's just a game".
Here you will find:
- No "Yes Sir/No Sir" nonsense
- No addressing people by rank
- No virtual pushups
- Just Fun.
Praetorian's guiding principle, from day one, has been to foster a casual, non-serious interaction between members. This can very easily be summed up in four words: "Don't be a dick".
02 // OPERATION_SCHEDULE
Praetorian conducts twice weekly operations, framed within a D&D style narrative, and are managed by our Operations Team. This team's sole duty within the unit is to manage an evolving story based on the principle of "Actions = Consequences".
Operations Schedule:
03 // ATTENDANCE_POLICY
While we have a very relaxed attendance policy. there are some requirements:
- Inactivity for 1 month results in transfer to reserves.
- There is no guarantee that you will get your old position back if you go to the reserves.
- Exceptions can be easily made for extenuating circumstances, but they must be done prior to your transfer/removal. Just let staff know what's going on.
- Corporals and above are required to attend at least 2 Friday operations a month.
1 month total inactivity = Removal.
Recruits are required to attend at least 2 ops during the first two weeks of joining.
Not meeting this requirement will be grounds for removal.
