The meaning of "nymand" is still unknown at this time. Although "Niemand" means noone or nobody in German.
In the czech language the meaning of the word "nymand" corresponds with english word "looser", although "Niemand" means noone or nobody in German.
This particular ogg seems to be recration of czech voiceovers for frogs from "The Swamp of Despair" from "[http://www.totse.com/en/ego/science_fiction/rd5-3.html Red Dwarf V: Terrorform script]" episode, where frogs can be heard in the background saying 'useless' instead of croaking.

Introduction

Just as in Operation Flashpoint CWC and Resistance [1], there are quite a few Easter Eggs to be found in Armed Assault.

Most of the Easter Eggs listed here have been discussed in this forum topic [2].

If you think this aspect of the game is too subtle to be referenced in the WiKi, please do not read on.

Santa in the Chimney

As a runner up to OFP's most famous easter egg, many users reported BIS to have added this face in the chimney (visible all year long).

Ghosthouse face in the wall

Face in The Wall

There's a gollum-like creature in the wall. It matches nicely the decrepit and derelict state of the house. But does anyone know where it originally comes from?

Notice the brand of the car too. [Screenshot credits to user Redface]

Beverly Hills on Sahrani

90210 Postal code

Each mailbox in Kindgom of Sahrani have 90210 postal code on it.

Remember Beverly Hills 90210?


Jara Cimrman's quote

"Future is dedicated to aluminium"

Text on dicator's statue says "EL FUTURO PERTENECE AL ALUMINIO" ("Future belongs to aluminium"), which is one of many famous quotes of Czech ficitional artist Jara Cimrman.


Random signs and hidden meanings

Some random handwriting on the wall. Pivo means beer in Czech, gulas is goulash in Czech.

Both words were tagged with "el" to make them fit into the Spanish-themed environment of Sahrani.


Aliens!

A strange sound file, known as "nymand.ogg", containing the voices of aliens or munchkins can be found in the "Capture the Island" multiplayer mission. It can be heard by traveling to the south-west corner of the map, but there is an 80 percent chance that it will play. If the sound does not play, the mission must be restarted. One may also extract MP06ConquerTheIsland.Sara.pbo with a PBO editing tool and navigate to the /sounds folder to play nymand.ogg with an OGG-compatible media player.

In the czech language the meaning of the word "nymand" corresponds with english word "looser", although "Niemand" means noone or nobody in German. This particular ogg seems to be recration of czech voiceovers for frogs from "The Swamp of Despair" from "Red Dwarf V: Terrorform script" episode, where frogs can be heard in the background saying 'useless' instead of croaking.
