Publik doesn't mean we will ban you maximus, just that we may keep our eyes open for that IP.

I would like to remind our members (if any of them even still follow this thread) that the next weekend signup is available on our official forums.

Ok, todays run is officially over due to a hacker killing everyone on the server.

Glad you had a good time thorgold. Yeah the run up at Devils Castle went as smooth as silk, no friendly fire or random grenades or hackers (well, we did get hack attacked later on but not during Ops time). Having a thermal scoped weapon to spot people in the trees meant no one got away. Wish we had more traders come along though. There will be another at the same time tomorrow!

I can confirm this happened, I fired several shots at him and he didn't die, less than 20 seconds later most of us were killed by grenades and the Ural was destroyed.

Please be aware that we will no longer be selecting members off the roster for weekend runs. The new event has been announced in the Announcement and Events section of our website: http://freesidetrading.co/index.php?forum/

The 01/07 Trading run has unfortunately been cancelled due to a lack of available members.

Attention! PMs for 01/07 are out, check your DayZ Forum inboxes. Vulwulf

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Freeside Trading Company will be holding an area for safe trade in the Balota Airfield area at the eastern end. If you wish to trade, you may only do so by paying to get in with some sort of useful item. We are accepting most things at the moment but don't turn up with a tin can... The events will be held at 20:15 to 00:00 UTC on Seattle 64. Vulwulf

Just want to make sure people see the "UNOFFICIAL" bit. Everybody needs to understand that while Freeside can't control what its members do on their own time' date=' Freeside will never organize full-scale raids on other peoples hard-earned stuff. As of right now, we aren't punishing members for doing so, but rest assured that nobody will be subjected to any vengeance for defending their tents from attacks by Freeside members. However, it should also be noted that engaging Freeside members on official raids on loot-spawning areas could result in a permanent spot on the Freeside shit-list. How will you tell the difference between official teams and unofficial teams? Simply follow the Upcoming Events section, thought be aware that said section may or may not be moved to the official Freeside online forums at a later date. Find these at: http://freesidetrading.co/forum/ [/quote'] A good point, thanks for highlighting that for all to see. Also congrats on your 100th post!

Striker75, I think you just earned yourself a cookie! Especially How Kurkistan says it will reduce the amount of organisation needed, Less work for us the better. It means we could also be relatively mobile/at different locations, makes bandit attacks a bit harder. ---- I had my own thought, but I'm not sure if its against the rules or just bad form (since it removes bandit opportunities, or is that a good thing?): A designated log in area guarded by us, where players/traders can log in after safely making the trip from another server? As for logging out, there's nothing stopping them doing that in camp and going to another server anyway, but currently it's a case of shooting anyone who logs on without warning at the moment.

It was great fun! The area was easily defensible, the new chat system worked like a charm apart from the odd time or 2, and it was hilarious to see people panic when they saw 14 of us pointing guns at them, of course we we're never going to harm them, but it was still funny. Leois was right next to me listening in on TS3. He made lots of valuable notes for me to look over later. I was extremely please with everyones ability to co-ordinate properly, most of the time demonstrating proper calling incoming/outgoing fire though it still does need some work. All the time I was hearing "oh I'm out of ammo/food/meds" and straight away there was offers to aid each other, and if someone got killed it never went without revenge :D Many thanks to those involved/those who helped pre-prepare Vulwulf PS, there is currently no plans in motion for future events. I think I, Kurkistan and Publik need to talk about what direction to go next based on the failings and successes displayed this weekend.

All right people, some information for you, todays run is still happening, however I have decided not to openly broadcast the time, server or new location, I have picked a number of people for this run and you will receive a PM and I will attempt contact you through steam shortly. The reason I have picked specific people for this op, and not disclose the location and server publicly, is to allow us as a group to hone our skills and allow us to get a better idea on how to run the operation, this cannot be acheived if we have random people from the roster turn up and expect to be able to actively join in, especially without being on TS3. If others wish to continue by Gathering etc, then note that Guard, Gatherer 1 and 2 on TS3 have had their passwords changed, Use General to coordinate if you like. Vulwulf P.S On a slightly related note, I think I may be over-working myself, while going shopping this morning I: -Parked my bike and felt like it was perhaps too exposed in the parking lot. -Saw the tinned food section, saw what was effectively tins of Frank and Beans, I bought 4 and just ate one. -Kept looking over my shoulder at people who got too close to my backpack and moved away in case they stole anything, even though at the time it was empty. It's all true :(

Come one people, I've PMed a lot of you already about this. If you do not give what shifts you are available this Sunday on the Google Doc then you CANNOT be picked: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnujqD1VQcvodEwyR2VFaHVjY0JUbEVrZ1A3dmlRalE#gid=0

Ok everyone on this list is now on the roster: Sister Fister Zarob The Nub Santaman2346 gutzdorf Dancingbear Xyro Tripp survivor_davey GenLloyd Insane ollo https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnujqD1VQcvodEwyR2VFaHVjY0JUbEVrZ1A3dmlRalE#gid=5 Please add your available times to the two unlocked tabs at the bottom, note that only Sundays run will be on. Not Saturdays. I probably PM'd some of you too, if you gave us your details somewhere and haven't been added let me know. Shemashko PM me your info if you haven't heard back from Publik yet. Remember folks, just because your on the roster doesn't mean you'll be in for every operation, we're currently picking people from the list on a day by day basis, otherwise we'd fill the server! We need names: Steam: TS3: InGame: Forum: Timezone in UTC+/- format: And what roles you would like to fill, Guard, Merc, Gatherer, Pilot and/or Organisation. See I even made a little template for you :)

One of the points of the location' date=' is that it's quite difficult to get a raised position to overlook the area with a sniper rifle. [/quote'] *eats his own words* Sorry Juicebox :(

I'm announcing that the trial run on Saturday is CANCELLED due to none of us being available (Arma has stopped working properly for me, trying to fix it), however the run for Sunday is still very much ON. Keep your eyes open for more info regarding new server etc... Sorry to have to cancel the run just a few hours before it starts, but I'm going to use the time between then and now sorting out the flood of new applicants, and finding that new server. If people want to organise unofficial gathering parties then that's fine by me, just know that the server we are choosing is being re-evaluated. Vulwulf

I too have been a victim of the miss-click of death, I had just gotten a DMR, a decent pistol, an alice pack and worst of all...my first can of Mountain Dew, just moments before.

I must say, I'm pleased to see the level of maturity shown from some bandits in this thread, knowing that this project will be more lucrative and fun in the long run for both sides rather than killing it in its infancy. We did have one bandit snipe one of our poor guards on the watchtower, but fire-team 1 soon got revenge and took his DMR :D

I'm not having a debate about this maximus, you said: "People of the post find us a boat pm me when you find one" In an official looking announcement, not report them if they happen to find them. I'm going to leave it at that. Hi Publik, sorry I couldn't be there. I'm seeing some happy customers, though, so hopefully the next run will be a bit better off for lessons learned in this one and produce even more happy customers. I must argue against this image, though. First of all, the white cross on red heavily implies a purely medical purpose. Dr. Wasteland would probably be better served with that than us. Perhaps a white cross on black, ala the Hospitallers? That style is similar to Black Templars of Warhammer... Not that I am complaining, I love Warhammer!

The next main step in our plan is to move the post to the island. The island is the best place to have the post so tomorrow hopefully i can round up some people to look for boats and when we have 1 or 2 of those we can really get this thing off the ground The next main step in our plan is to move the post to the island. The island is the best place to have the post so tomorrow hopefully i can round up some people to look for boats and when we have 1 or 2 of those we can really get this thing off the ground ANNOUNCEMENT People of the post find us a boat pm me when you find one As I said when I spoke to you over steam, there was much discussion about changing server, someone may well spend ages looking for a boat, find one then we end up going to another server and they have wasted their time. Please do not make announcements without our say so.
