Asymmetrical Server - Arma 3 Short Film
Project Overview
Asymmetrical Server is an allegorical machinima that follows a Discord Server that is suffering from internal drama issues, and a single incident incites a sever wide revolt that leads into insurgency and civil war.
The Server, and the Conflict will be satirically displayed using Arma 3 as the engine, and shot with the same feel as Documentary footage. This machinima is in the same tone, and vein as "War of The Servers" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppUl_CBuyz8&ab_channel=Dr.FaceDoctor
A very simple project in terms of scope, but Machiminas have been something I've always adored, and wanted to create. This will be my first "Official" project, and I'm looking for talent to bring the characters to life. I'll be handling the Script, Editing, and actual Filming. This project is VERY beginner friendly, so please don't feel shy. Give it your best shot, and I'd be happy to what you can make of it!
As this is not a paying project, I do not expect you to overwork yourself for the sake of the project. However, I'd be more than happy to see you have fun with improvisations, script edits, and overall create a short film we all will enjoy.
Even so, there are some requirements. It is required that you have Minimal to no background noise. The ability to join the Discord Server where the project will be worked, and to be able to send CLEAN audio as Wav.
While this is a non-paying project, if I enjoy working with you, and the performance you give, I'll definitely hope to hire you on again for actually paying projects. Even now, I'll put it a kind word for you with other Directors, and Content Creators.
The Project is intended to be released on my you tube channel, and all will be given prominent placing in the end credits.
When making your audition, PLEASE include your discord name so that I may contact you if I need to.
Due to the freestyle of the characters, not even having set genders for most of them, feel free to audition for as many roles as you'd like, and see which one fits you best! I'm excited to see the interpretations ya'll will give the characters! As this is not a truly serious story, feel free to have a more lighthearted approach. However, at it's core it is a mockumentary.
If you'd like to join the Discord Server to ask questions, or keep in touch with the project. Feel free to join via https://discord.gg/F6uMqUKvCA

Narrator will be the backbone to this project, having the most lines. Having a good microphone will be essential to this role. What I'm looking for is a very strong Documentary-Esque style voice. Something you'd hear in a old 1980s documentary. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V887sYcmIAc&ab_channel=Timeline-WorldHistoryDocumentaries.

The virtual fields of Discord are a wonderful place. A place where both friends and strangers alike can share a chat, a call, or blast music at one another in a serene and community focused environment.
Due to the escalation and tension of this situation, we’re not allowed to give the name of this server in fear of causing an international scandal among Server Leaders. The profiles of users we interview will be blurred as well, to protect the innocent.
The C.R.A. would begin their first major operation in the #memes channel. Occupying the channel with whatever memes and poop posts they could get their hands on. It was a terrifying day for all involved on the Server.
A very simple role, only being necessary to sing the outro song to the video. A parody of the song "Broad Black Brimmer"
Composition skills, and the ability to play guitar would be greatly appreciated, but not required.
You might possibly be requested to sing two songs, if you are up to the challenge. You're free to keep song recordings, and upload it as your own cover/rendition as well.

There's a uniform that's hanging in what's known as fathers room A uniform so simple in it's style It's got no braid of gold, nor silk, nor hat with feathered plume Yet me mother has preserved it all the while One day she made me try it on, a wish of mine for years This in memory of your father Sean she said And when I put the sam brown on, she was smiling through her tears As she placed the broad black brimmer on my head
Interviewer is an unnamed interview personnel for the mockumentary. Interviewing various characters through out the story. The Interviewer is serious, but classy. Something akin to Katie Couric.

Why do you think you were targeted by the users?
What side do you personally lean toward?
[Teasingly] I’ve heard that you, Lieutenant Barr, are a popular candidate for the Server Ownership…
Agatha Meow is a minor character who starts off supporting the Mods, and eventually becomes a resistant to Server Moderation. She is head strong, and a deliberate person.

I think it was a lot of things…some say it was because the Server Owner was too mean, some because the rules weren’t clear enough, and more think it’s just that users like to troll.
I think Jooms being banned was a good thing. I can’t tell you the relief I felt to know he wasn’t here anymore. People could post again in peace without his disturbance.
We’re Hanging, Commander!
The proud and arrogant server owner. Lanzor has strong egotistical tendencies and believes a Discord server should be run like a military. Wanting to be the head, and things to go HIS way always. Feel free to play around with how subtle or explosive the ego is. Improvisation is encouraged

I think it’s because most users are discord trash that refuse to follow even the most simple of rules. I do everything to give them a peaceful, and sophisticated server yet they do crap like this!
Of course some people that don’t deserve it are going to get banned. But I’d rather a few innocents get banned, than let even ONE disrespectful troll remain on the server! I made this server what it is, and I’m going to keep it that way. No matter how many Mods, or bans it takes!
[Prideful and sinister] Then do it. We can always start from scratch again. I can even get new staff if I wanted to
a very minor character. Mostly says combat lines. Improvisation is heavily encouraged for this role

I remember getting up, and just taking a stroll through #Memes to see what was new on the streets, when I found these users with weird hats taking over the channel. I thought it was a raid until I noticed some of the users were people I knew.
[Yelling] Mods are coming over the hill! Open fire!
Keep watchin’ the skies, Mobius 2. We’ll be in touch.
A major character in the plotline. A Moderator who serves the server professionally as a soldier, and is in quite a few fights with trolls. Improvisation is heavily encouraged

Well, I suppose Jooms was many things. A server icon of cringe, and degeneracy. Some users saw him as a hilarious meme, others saw him as a disturbance of the peace in the channels he frequented.
[Annoyed tenor] What they’ve done is pure disrespect to the people who do their best to keep this server running smoothly and safely for its users. We’re going to show them that users can’t be in a server without showing some *respect* to the staff.
[ Yelling over fire ] OPEN FIRE, OPEN FIRE.
1st Lieutenent Famas is a Moderator that fights boldly for the Server, but eventually swaps sides. A professional, but also very passionate in what they do,

Any last words, Jooms?
I think because I was the one to actually pull the trigger on banning Joomskaanly. People see you doing your job as a moderator, doing your best for the server you love and somehow get full of hatred in return. I…[ Begins to cry a little] wish someone else had banned jooms. I’m afraid to walk in the streets of #memes without something bad happening.
[Trying to be professional, but a subtle defiance appears in their voice] Do you want the server to exist or not? If we push any harder, we’re liable to just ban *everyone*
Battlefield Reporter is a reporter of both courage, and guts. Instead of doing one on one interviews, they are the one crawling with the soldiers, dodging bullets, all to get the perfect shot and report the news of the battle for the mockumentary. They are a bit of a thrill seeker and take joy in their work.
Heavy improvisation is encouraged!

Could you explain what we're looking at, Lieutenant?
It’s hard to know what *exactly* has happened, but from what I’m hearing, Server Owner Lanzor Roznal was asked to resign as leader due to complications within the staff, and instead of handing over the Server Ownership, they’ve barricaded themselves and are having a standoff with Mod Forces
Sir, it seems like the Mods are giving a heavy hand to swat down people having fun in the #memes channel. Any comments?
A young soldier who joined the Mod Staff to have some fun, and do something for the server. Inexperienced, and naïve but with a good heart. Improvisation is greatly encouraged!

Well, I never been a Mod before, but the Server Owner wanted a large force so a lot of the standards were lowered. I joined the staff because I think it'll feel pretty fun to have a banhammer in my hands. Some others have joined because they've always wanted to have some sort of power, but I think that is the wrong way to go about it.
[Nervous] I don't think I should answer that…I'd appreciate it if you cut the cameras right now
[Yelling in battle] I need covering fire on that MG Pit!
Gamo is the unhinged server troll who heavily instigated the uprising against the server owners. Not for any ideological reason, but more because it's just fun. Before the conflict, Gamo just lurked.
Absolutely improvise with this role, and see how crazy you can take it.

[Sinister and slightly drunk on power] If you're listening to this, I got a classic tune for you to enjoy, Mods!
he Mods are nothing more but the simps of the Server Owner! I loved reading the posts that based and redpilled users would share. They made me laugh, they made me smile! But did the Server Stafflike that? NOoOoOoooo
One user's troll, is another user's pogchamp!
Mobius 2 is the cool headed pilot that operates in the skies for Server Staff. Nothing ever gets them worried, and they feel pretty chill about everything, even when they're at Mach 2 speeds engaging a SU-34. Very much influenced by the Ace Combat series.
User who gets this role will actually be able to pick what Mobius 2's aircraft will be within the machinima. Improvisation is heavily encouraged!

WILCO, I'm starting my bombing run
AWACS, I need confirmation. I got a radar spike. Bogey is heading at 360, coming in hot. Permission to intercept?
Scratch one! Good kill good kill!
