"Oddington" doesn't, no. But странно город does. Its Russian. All of the city/town names are Russian, and all of them translated into English mean something. For example Stary and Novy Sobor means "old" and "new" "cathedral" respectively.

Made a thread in the suggestions forum. Go and vote for or against the naming of this town "странно город" http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/177483-proposed-name-for-an-as-yet-unnamed-town-in-the-far-nw/

NICE!!!! I had actually thought of doing this myself, make a chick character and change my in game name to "The Seamstress".... But never got around to it. BEANS sir! beans....

странно город That is to say, "Oddington" in Russian. I typed "oddington" into google translate, but it didn't work. So I separated the word into "odd", and "ington". "странно" means odd. Sadly, "ing" does not translate into russian, so I took the basic meaning of "ington" and assumed it referred to a city, or pollis, and instead typed in "town", which gave me "город", which, according to google translate, relates to "city, town, place, borough, burg". Hence, странно город....... I hereby move that this^ be made the official, in game name of this town, in honor of its first officially declared discoverer. All in favor?

So.....what was the mystery? Does it involve "meddling kids" that are an allegory for the stereotypical 70's culture, including a stoner hippie that constantly has the munchies???

Bullshit. What? You think ROCKET has the dough to fund this thing all by himself? Where the hell did you hear that? Bohemia Interactive is funding the project. Dean Hall is employed by them, as the project lead. Nothing more, nothing less.

ha!

Sambucus nigra is the only variety considered to be non-toxic, but it is still recommended that its berries be cooked slightly for culinary purposes.[13] The leaves, twigs, branches, seeds and roots of Sambucus plants can contain a cyanide-inducing glycoside (a glycoside which gives rise to cyanide as the metabolism processes it). Ingesting a sufficient quantity of cyanide-inducing glycosides can cause a toxic build up of cyanide in the body. In 1984, a group of twenty-five people were sickened, apparently by elderberry juice pressed from fresh, uncooked Sambucus mexicana berries, leaves and stems. However, all twenty-five recovered quickly, including one individual who was hospitalized after drinking five glasses.[15] Such reported incidents are rare."" I suspect that these berries, in game, will be poisonous if eaten raw. Probably best not to eat them until cooking is implemented, if it will even make any difference in game (would be cool if it did). Naturally, those thinking to poison others will likely wish to use these berries. Canin Berry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_canina The plant is high in certain antioxidants. The fruit is noted for its high vitamin C level and is used to make syrup, tea and marmalade. It has been grown or encouraged in the wild for the production of vitamin C, from its fruit (often as rose-hip syrup), especially during conditions of scarcity or during wartime. The species has also been introduced to other temperate latitudes. During World War II in the United States Rosa canina was planted in victory gardens, and can still be found growing throughout the United States, including roadsides, and in wet, sandy areas up and down coastlines. In Bulgaria, where it grows in abundance, the hips are used to make a sweet wine, as well as tea. In the traditional Austrian medicine Rosa canina fruits have been used internally as tea for treatment of viral infections and disorders of the kidneys and urinary tract.[1] Forms of this plant are sometimes used as stocks for the grafting or budding of cultivated varieties. The wild plant is planted as a nurse or cover crop, or stabilising plant in land reclamation and specialised landscaping schemes. Numerous cultivars have been named, though few are common in cultivation. The cultivar Rosa canina 'Assisiensis' is the only dog rose without prickles. The hips are used as a flavouring in Cockta, a soft drink made in Slovenia. As you can see, the Canina has many uses for foodstuffs, and no indication of poisonous effects were made in the rest of the article. It would seem that if one wants to eat berries (for nourishment, rather than to commit suicide or poison others), THESE are the berries to choose. This public service announcement was brought to you by the letter "nine"....

this^ agreed.

EDIT. Now a moot point. Plz delete this thread

decided to go with vilayer. Topic is moot.

HEY! HEY YOU! YEAH! YOU! We don't take kindly to your kind around here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgjWbJuOYEg

100% agree.

BUMP...

don't you know? EVERYONE on this forum is a forum moderator. ESPECIALLY true of a lot of the posters with a low post count, which is an indication that the user has yet to make much in the way of contribution to the community discussions. Of course, it can also be said that a high post count doesn't necessarily indicate a great deal of useful contribution either....I just find it funny when some guy with 10 posts to his name comes around and starts trying to tell other people weather or not they should speak....

a very simple fix for this problem is the implementation of a server restart countdown timer for all servers, public and private. -Notifies all players that its time to get to a safe logout position, and not to place any important items on the ground (backpacks, weapons, ammo cans, etc) for the risk of losing them. -Allows admins to continue to be able to restart their servers, but prevents abuse. Server admins that restart their servers do so after initiating a 10-15 minute countdown (which is announced to all players), that once started cannot be aborted (this would prevent server admins from using the countdown to scare off players into quitting the server, only to abort it at the last second). EDIT: If you like the idea, show some support for my thread in the suggestions forum: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/175603-server-restart-warnings-plz/

I searched, and found not. I am sure SOMEONE has said something before, but I am saying it again. I would really like to see the ability to use a map AND compass at the same time, like we could in arma2 and in the mod. IRL, this is how you navigate properly, and in game getting a proper and accurate azimuth is not possible without it. I know the map well enough to find my way without a map or compass, but I have had situations were I have logged out in the deep woods, or when I drop my mouse (causing my character to spin around), and then lost my bearings. This would be beneficial to new and old players, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be done. In fact, I would be utterly SHOCKED if it wasn't implemented at some point. But I would like to see this be a priority, and be implemented soon. If you want to see it implemented sooner, rather than later, vote "Yea". If you still want to see it implemented, but think it should not be a priority, vote "Nay". If you hate the idea altogether, do not vote, but feel free to leave a comment explaining why you feel that way. Just be forewarned that you are wrong. (sarcasm)

bug and glitch fixes are handled by a different team from those that deal with adding in content. So putting this in the game shouldn't interfere with that aspect of development.

SERIOUSLY? That's hilarious. Was never in the scouts myself, but I know enough about survival to know NOT to eat anything if I don't know Exactly what it is.

There is no reason why the item should NOT be in game. Guns, attachments, and ammo will all become very rare at some point. Which will undoubtedly reduce a lot of the KOSing that no doubt irritates you so much. Having more options is a GOOD thing, and even if you don't like his particular idea, there is no reason to attack him over it. I found your manner of disagreement to be very....rude. It was totally uncalled for.

nope

bump

But but wait, I thought rocket was leaving and taking all our moniez and going home to the summit of Everest, so dayz was over! Whats he doing here, still working on the game and making it better an stuf??? *sarcasm EDIT: cool, cool. But still eagerly awaiting realistic ballistics....
