Correction, you have no friends. I've met plenty of cool people in the last few days alone but you don't trust anybody and kill everything that moves, so I have no sympathy for you.

So because I'm proud of a kill I made that justifies shooting someone who may have been playing the game for 5 minutes and is just trying to figure out what to do, who doesn't even have a weapon or know where to find one?

That's what was weird, I saw that too but it only hit me once to knock me out and my friend shot it off me. Guess it was just extremely bad luck.

I'm noticing a lot more of this, I got knocked out by a zombie earlier and when my friend got me up I was coughing, had full heat the whole time just got infected I guess from either bleeding or the act of being hit by the zed.

Whenever I'm not in combat, not near players and not close to zombies but get the timer, I just alt + tab out and close the window. It wouldn't be such an issue if the timer actually lasted 30 seconds, not 3 minutes.

I just use 1 food and 1 drink in my inventory and another set in my bag. When I find food I pick it up and eat it on the spot whether I'm really hungry or not and use the stuff in my bag for emergencies. Same with morphine, antibiotics and painkillers. One in the inventory, 1 morphine in the bag.

"Old school bandits" were definitely not shoot everything that moves kind of players. Old school bandits held people up, kidnapped them, etc. My best memory as a bandit back in the day was holding a couple guys up making them drop their weapons and taking everything we wanted out of their bags, then loading them into a heli that came to us when I had them detained. The one guy was a well known bambi killer on the server, had a CCO SD and would go around elektro yelling friendly with promises of blood bags and weapons, then shoot anyone who fell for it (he targeted unarmed bambis in particular), and his friend was his accomplice. Needless to say this guy disgusted us as actual bandits, not deathmatchers or coast huggers. We took him out into the wilderness and said for being such a good sport we were giving them an ATV loaded with gear. They seemed happy enough. When we got there we had them go out and kneel in a field while we "grabbed their ATV from the woods." I still remember the speech we gave them months later. "Well gentlemen, in an unfortunate turn of events there is actually no ATV, nor any gear. We realize you enjoy killing unarmed players on the coast, being nice and then stabbing them in the back. This prevents them from gearing up and coming up north where we can rob them or engage in real PvP. Needless to say, we don't appreciate you doing that. So we are going to even the odds a bit and let you know what it's like to not be able to play the game like you did to them." At this point I walk up behind the friend with my 1911 and put a round in the back of his head execution style. "But we won't be as generous with you, my friend. No, you'll just spawn on the coast and start the cycle over. We don't want that. So we will leave you with a parting gift, and that gift is a bullet from this gun that just killed your friend, from the same mag even. But it's not going in your head. No, that would be too merciful." Now we had him stand up and I put a round into his knee. We wished him the best, loaded up in our heli, and left him with broken legs and no morphine 6 kilometers north of elektro. We never saw him or his friend on the server again. I have killed very, very few players (or even fired on them for that matter) aggresively in my time here, I've killed plenty of bandits or survivors in defense of myself, my team, or our property, but extremely rarely do I kill not in defense. These were two of those such kills, and I'm damned proud of them compared to my others. If Far Cry 3 were out at the time I would have thrown in an insanity reference, but alas it was too early. It did the job, though.

Yep, been pretty busy but sign ups are open again. Depending on how popular this week is we may have to limit the number of players on each team to 4 or limit it to 9 teams of 5 to accomodate everyone on the server.

And that is why we call you a CoD deathmatcher, you turn a survival game into a deathmatch.

Then grab an LMG, a 200 round m249 belt can mess up a helicopter.

Absolutely, that's what I've been saying all along, but I'm not sure giving everyone their unique food item is the way to go. Hopefully if they do something like this and honor the staff in the SA they will make custom billboards or something that can actually be built into Chernarus+ so maybe each staff member can have 3-4 billboards around the map or something, but I guess we'll see in due time.

It's just because this is readily accessable, issues like zombies glitching through walls has been addressed by the devs, and they say it would result in a significant loss of FPS to fix it. I'd rather tackle the small battles we can see results for than have the devs move into something more significant like that.

Once again, I've said repeatedly there are other ways to honor the staff. Just like I've said you don't even read posts that oppose your views. Chernarus is real though, so...

The "overreaction" is because we have been getting progressively more pissed off by the arrogance of people in this topic completely blocking any negative opinion out.

The issue is rather than pushing this all on us, maybe a better route would have been adding one or two things, judging the community reaction then adding more in.

Oh yeah, I never blamed any of the mods, I was just getting angry that for 4 pages we got drowned out because we had differing views to the rest of the community members before Orlok finally stepped up and let us get a few words out.

Like I said, nobody has been reading our posts. I've said, what, 4-5 times that there are other ways to recognize the staff other than throwing in 10-15 new food and drink items.

Hell, even when there were a few of us only trying to voice our opinions it took, again, 4 pages before anyone stepped up and put a stop to it so we could actually get a word out without having it skipped over and having some generic "answer" thrown at us.

You missed my point entirely. Look back a few pages and it isn't a matter of not liking Reddit, people are doing the exact same things that you say they're doing to bronies on /r/dayz to Reddit. Even if they were discriminating against a certain group of people, does that make it okay to accuse /r/dayz of contributing nothing? (We came up with the idea of the prison on Utes as well as a lot of early cans when Rocket first asked for them) the community as a whole was basically declared to be "shitty." Discriminating against a group is one thing which shouldn't be happening in the first place, but discriminating against part of your own community based off of another website based on one day's activities? Like I've said, I came here from /r/dayz a while back and have stayed on both, and during any normal day the communities are exactly alike, but this one issue comes up and the two are at eachothers' throats. Orlak was getting on us earlier about personal attacks, is that not a personal attack? We have members of /r/dayz over here trying to make peace and are blatantly ignored and attacked for being on Reddit. Really?

Actually, like lumberjack said I haven't seen any of this before today's incident, but you can tell anti-Reddit sentiment has been boiling over for a while.

Links? I've been monitoring both sides and haven't seen that, and that doesn't change the fact that there is some serious anti-Reddit stuff going on here, what's the difference?

You mean like 70% of the people here are doing to Reddit?

Go back to pages 2-6, there were 3 of us fighting just to make our opinions heard. It took 4 pages. 4. Even then a mod had to come in and shut everyone up and start handing out warning points just so we could actually say what we had to say without someone pulling some bullshit argument out of nowhere and trying to back it up. This is most definitely not an open public forum, this has as much circlejerking as /r/dayz, only you guys bitch about Reddit much more than Redditors bitch about the forums. In fact, there is actually a group of us trying to bridge the gap between the two since we're part of the same community but you guys are so closed minded to the idea you won't even hear of civility.

Because we didn't need it, seriously how is that much variety going to enhance gameplay? Ever heard of the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" There are plenty of other ways to give the team easter eggs, do we really need that much variety? Part of what made DayZ great was the fact that it was minimalist, but it still had the versatility to be very complex.

You guys really have no idea. You can't downvote or hide things but you can gang up on people you don't agree with, including the mods. Some of us actually have good reasoning but you are too closed minded to actually read it, you just disregard it and use some empty personal attack to "back up" your argument.
