Ok. I think ive picked a good server for the event. Its regular, but with 3pp off and its a daytime server. In a little bit ill be posting a new thread announcing the start of the event. Also, to add to the list of rules I will be adhering to, during the event, I will NOT be using any out of game comms. No teamspeak, no steam, no nothing. So anyone that will be joining me on MY side will be doing the same, however it looks as tho at the moment I am alone, so it may be irrelevant.

ok. I slept in a little too much, and its 8 minutes till 2pm. I need a little more time to get myself ready (ME, not the ingame me), so im delaying the event just a little. I'll let yall know when Im done eating, showering, coffeeing, and smoking. Sorry guys. bare with me a little. As to what server? Ur just gonna have to wait until the event starts and im already ingame...

Guys, OP is a troll.... He made his original post THREE DAYS AGO. If he hasn't posted the server ip by now (he hasn't), he never intended to.... Go here for something similar, but more interesting: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/171938-coming-soon-the-hunt-for-cobra-commander-server-event/ This event, happening today at 2pm US eastern standard, will be on a server that will be advertised the moment the event begins, rather than dragged out longer than the pre fight chats in Dragonball Z to falsely advertise non existent badassery.. Read the entire thread for all relevant info. Also: Shameless self promotion? Yup. Not even gonna deny it.

as said, I don't have the means to record as yet. But maybe in future iterations of the event...

I really don't understand how people CONTINUE to argue that the dispersion in game is NOT ridiculous. It has been CLEARLY established that dispersion in SA is highly random and is a WIDE cone, and has been established with the use of SCIENCE.... Even Dean Hall has seen the wisdom of the great science, and has agreed to implement changes to the ballistics system based on the findings of that science...

Bullshit. And I would know. You are either a useless troll, or totally ignorant of marksmanship principles.

Well folks. Good news: After a quick trip to NEAF and NWAF I managed to round out my kit a bit, find some more mags, ammo, etc. Got a prreeeeeety nice set up, if I do say so myself. So im currently hangin out somewhere just outside berez now (logged out, of course. don't bother looking for me yet). Ill move in and set myself up before I make the thread announcing the start of the event. But for now, Im gonna lay down some ground rules. For me. Not you. I have no way of enforcing rules on other participants (nor would I want to), but I DO hope anyone participating "plays along". I fully expect to lose in the end (although ill be trying not too), but im hoping that I don't get l33tnoscopeheadsniped right at the beginning. Although that DOES present a funny visual: "I AM COOOOOBRA COMANDER! AND ALL BEFORE ME ARE SUBJUGATED TO MY WILL!! ALL WILL OBE*BLAM.....thud. But I digress. The rules I will adhere to: I will not kill another player unless I believe them to be an IMEADIATE threat to me, an assumption to be formed based on what is happening at that moment. Im not doing this to farm some KOS kills, but to have a roleplay event. I WILL shoot AT you, but since everyone knows that COBRA has a horrendous marksmanship program, it will probably miss. And so will the 20 other shots that follow. But don't get comfortable. If I think im about to be killed and the event ended too soon for my tastes, the Marine in me will take over and ill put 2 in your chest and one in your head. Death is a possibility, and more, a likely outcome. I will accept this. I will have fun. I will not break character unless I ABSOLUTELY have to (although I may eventually rip a hole in my vocal chords. the CC voice is hard on my throat after a while, and as a result the quality of the impersonation my degrade somewhat. But Ill push through. A good Marine can scream bloody murder from the bowels of hell all day and not stop until his throat implodes).

sadly, I don't have any kind of recording software, but will probably get fraps or something in the future when I have money to do so, since I DO plan to make this a recurring event. No, it will be tomorrow afternoon, roughly around 2pm US eastern standard time, regardless of how many people are available to join me. If I end up alone, so be it. For now, I'm off to gear up a bit more and prepare, eventually move to somewhere in berez. If I don't die in game, or if something IRL doesn't come up (such as dying IRL), ill post a new thread here in general titled something along the lines of "Transmission from cobra commander detected in berez" or something. Again, I highly encourage any streamers, recorders, frappers (ewww), etc. come along and do their thing. Ill try to prolong the event for as long as possible to keep it interesting. So, tune in tomorrow, at 2pm, Eastern Standard time for the first episode of "Hunt for Cobra Commander". And remember kids, be sure to bring your walkie talkies! EDIT: Just occurred to me. "Tomorrow" is technically TODAY. its 1:30 am where I am. so in about 10 1/2 hours, give or take.

FOOOOOOOLish worm! We shall see who is the hunter, and who is the prey. If you think your constant, petty insults are enough to un-nerve me, COBRA COMMANDER, you are SORELY mistaken! I and my elite robot WARRIORS will DESTROY you........ONCE AND FOR ALLLLLL!!!!!

epic. (no other word/s necessary for description)

I suspect that anyone in my friends list (which includes you), and therefore a trustworthy individual, could, if they are available and willing, be a member of Cobra Commander's personal, elite, robot soldier guards.

AH. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I didn't steal JACK SQUAT from you, bro. Ive been using that name for weeks. Even changed my steam name to "Cobracommander", because in game, I use my voice impression of the 1980's JI Joe CC, which I am actually really good at. It had nothing whatsoever to do with you and your "Kool" way of spelling it. Ive never even seen you in the player list in game. So, kindly stop raining on my parade. Im trying to project positivity here. Promote an event in game, because im bored of running around all day, and hunting isn't really doing it for me right now. I want something INTERESTING to happen. So stop trolling/whining/showboating/whatever in my thread, just because I use a name in a game that is similar to yours. "K"?

Both. But for the purpose of the event, I think I would prefer a 1st PP only server. its moar imursive

I wonder. When did the devs add "barley" to the game. Can we craft our own beer now? Or have they yet to add in hops and yeast?

?wha?

hooooowww DAAAAARRE you.... Do you think me some sort of COWARD!? (everyone knows he is, of course). *ill be alone, against any comers. so of course I will take advantage of strategic opportunities. But I want this to be an EVENT. That means I HAVE to be careful, lest the first guy to waltz in kills me. As such, I may, or may not KOS the first guy I see. It is certainly a risk any comers will have to take. But, then again, a solution to this is to come in greater numbers. I would have a hard time taking on a group of 5. Or 10. Or, potentially, an entire server....

Cobra Commander is not amused at being called a child. You DARE to insult me? Well, we shall see who gets the last laugh, when I activate my WEATHER MODULATOR!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

John Hancocked...

Is it just me, or did I actually just miss the post? Im PRETTY sure our resident "bad ass" STILL hasn't told us what server...

Video is up. Finally. I know, im fat. no need to tell me. Just focus on the POINT of my video, and less on my beer gut.

roughly 1 and a half hours before the vid is done uploading. I watched it before I uploaded it to make sure it was good enough (lighting, audio, make sure I didn't accidently flash the interwebs with my asscrack, etc), and I really feel that it perfectly explains everything. Ill let yall know when its done.

Unlike Gews, I don't have the technical knowledge to read script values, and produce fancy pants visuals that eloquently explain my concept (his threads about ballistics were awesomeness). Im also lazy. The problem with my proposal, I think, is that without visualizing what I mean, it can sound like a realistic system, but complicated to both implement (on the coding level) and use (in game). I agree that the CURRENT system is by and far better than the mod. Ill take its user friendliness over realism any day. But I believe it can be BOTH user friendly, AND realistic, if done right. I do, however, also agree that implementation may be difficult, but then I don't expect the devs would be able to implement it any time soon, IF at all. Its alpha. SO, because I am lazy, but still want to visualize this (as we say in the Marines, "break it down barney style"), I have just finished making a video, which I will post on tube, and link here for your viewing pleasure. I apologize ahead of time if it sucks for any reason. I also don't know how long it will take, so bear with me.

I just thought of this as well: Stretch. Say for example, I want to put a can of beans into my jeans pocket. The bean can has slightly greater volume than the single pocket, but not excessively so. IRL, I might be able to cram that sucker in there, but then have no way of getting anything else in with it. So in game, a little bit of leeway is granted. If a single inventory slot can hold say, a pistol magazine, and still have half its volume empty, and I want to put a radio in there as well, if the radio does not exceed the total volume by an excessive amount, the pocket (inventory slot) is "stretched" to allow it to fit, however the pocket can no longer have any other items added to it, where without the radio, I might have been able to add 2 other, smaller items. This way, the system doesn't become too unforgiving...

Im going to find a pen and piece of paper, and write this message: TURN BACK NOW! Then leave it in the middle of the road on the coast. Then ill go down the road a ways and wait.... at least they wont be able to say they weren't warned...

Which gives me an idea for a myth to test: I have blown up several gas stations, just for shits and giggles. But ONE time, after blowing up the pump, while I was busy reloading, a second pump exploded! I was the only one on the server at the time, and didn't fire any more shots. I am thinking that one detonation can possibly set of another secondary explosion. needs testing to confirm, I think.
