Hello everyone.

As you may all be noticing, or somewhat noticing now you'll see that the Community is beginning to make a change which has been thought of and simply discussed many times before for as long as the community has been around. This has to do directly with the name / branding of the group.

Currently, we're underway on changing all that now, We will be no longer known as Hyperion - Private Military Company, instead we will be switching to a more simple yet somewhat ironic name for the community. A few of us have decided to switch our name to "Bad Frag" or its abbreviation of "[B:F]"

Of course, there is a couple of reasons for this change and the largest reason is the name 'Hyperion - Private Military Company' is a little too serious of a name for the community and for the goal of the community overall. A fair few people who have joined over the years have simply viewed this name and seen the community as something serious such as one of your bog-standard milsim groups. As a whole this has greatly affected the community since the beginning. Most people who wish to join this community have usually seen the name 'Hyperion - Private Military Company' and have expected us to be an actual Private Military Groups which in ArmA senses for which some of you may be completely unaware of is that communities which name themselves as such are usually communities which can be expected to join other communities as an actual "PMC" - This of course is something we haven't really done or attempted to do since this isn't our goal at all. Of course, not to mention that most people attempting to join in the first place without any real context of the group will expect us to be an actual milsim community with ranks, ect.



Until Now..

We've decided to change our community name to "Bad Frag" to not only show what type of group we are going for but what people should expect whilst joining this community. Since the beginning we have always wished to have this change and it shouldn't really come to a shock to you guys that this is happening now. "Hyperion - Private Military Company" has always been a placeholder from the beginning. This information might new to both new and old members of the community. Myself and Jish have discussed this many times before and despite him not being around too much anymore, I have finally decided to make this change with the support of Taxoz to finally make this become a reality.

I can understand on how confusing these changes must be, but as a community we will not change as what our goals and efforts are in both the near and far future. Of course, we'd expect from everybody that despite being a Casual Milsim community, we do still expect good behaviour during our missions and expect good behaviour when we interact with new and potentially new community members.

It'll take some time getting used to, even for myself but I hope that everybody prefers this new name and also sees where I am coming from when I say that our previous community name really was not fitting for our group as a whole. On the brightside, it does not mean we will not be playing as the 'Hyperion - Private Military Company' since I will continue keeping the patches and such along with updating our modpack in the near future with the addition of our new community patch. The Squad XML will be changed soon enough.

For those wondering, we do have a new group ready and waiting. So, if you wish to go and request to join the new Steam Group right now, you are able to request to join as of today. However, do keep in mind that - You will still need to be apart of the Hyperion - Private Military Group until April 2nd, 2018. - Please do not leave it until we have officially ended both missions on Friday & Saturday and almost must wait for a steam announcement on the group for us to officially make our previous page defunct.

You are free to stay seated in the Hyperion - Private Military Group, but you MUST join the Bad Frag steam group in order to play and stay with the community, no acceptions.

Anybody with "Tags" of [HPMC] - I suggest you change it to [B:F] on your Steam Name if you wish and you must also consider that once you have joined the new group page you click "Discussions" and then click "SUBSCRIBE TO FORUM" on either ALL forums which are listed on the right. I'd say it's a requirement for you to subscribe to the following forums:-

Mini-Missions / Events - ArmA 3
Activity Checks / Registed Absences

Please make sure you do this, and if you have any questions. Feel free to contact myself on Steam. Or, you can freely discuss it in our discord.

Thank you.
