    Strange death, Wtf happened?

    If there were 4 other people on your server, then there were 3 other bullets headed towards your brain that were too slow. It's a small world after all.

    My first kill

    In a clan I used to be in (note the past tense), we were on the large and open hill above the city-proper of Elektro. We were advancing in a line, grabbing cover where we could. Keep the same guy to your right and left, and keep even. Pretty much the only rule. As we got closer to buildings, we started taking fire. I ran up and prone-dove under a bush, my mates to the right and left undoubtedly followed suit. We were so close to the gunfire, I could taste the gunsmoke. I nearly soiled myself with anticipation/anxiety/fear. So when I see a guy creeping in a bush, not 10 yards away, I let loose my war cry and followed it up with a rain of bullets. Several minutes later, after my sobs became less violent, I would make sense of the voices comparing me to a douchebag Leeroy Jenkins, and informing me of my removal from the group. I learned a lot that day; all of it enlightening, none of it good, mostly depressing.

    AUTOGYROS in DayZ?

    Watched one video, planning to watch more, gather as much info as possible, then put in my well-informed opinion to contribute to the discussion in a constructive way. After the first video, I was thumbnail-click-baited into watching 3 videos of some braless European blonde. So, as eloquently as I can state it, what were we talking about? Well, I am for Autogyros only because Gyrocopter girl is for them. I wouldn't mind something like this. I think it could add some light-hearted fun. Make it a project that takes man-hours to complete. One guy could do it, though it would take more time. Once persistence is persistant, and we can craft something like a camo-netting to hide our WIP Gyrocopter, we will be able to make a well-hidden or well-defended stash. But I wouldnt limit the amount that spawn, like only 2 can exist per hive. That leads to a trollable situation of hoarding things. Just a ridiculously low spawn rate for each part spread out over a hive. That should force interaction.

    A mountain not just hills?

    I am definitely becoming Jeremiah Johnson. Then make F7 the "gentle nods" hotkey and I can do this all damn day!
  5. This is so 5-places ago Kich, you need to keep up babydoll! anybody who's anybody left that bored cliché days ago. I have a tumblr that focuses in on the hottest trending locales of the moment. Recent places have been The Ashwood Forest up north, the pine tree in Olsha (if you have to ask, you weren't meant to know), The back of a V3S Cargo, The main street of any town at night while wearing a burlap bag on your head, no shoes, and only carrying a gas lamp, and the place that we just abandoned the top of Cherno's firestation also only at night and only when the camera angle casts your profile over the rising or setting moon. We are investigating a few different spots to see which is trendiest. It's a close race between "Halfway up any ladder in a forest," and "the interior of a castle while you pretend to be a ghost who is haunting the castle." From where I'm standing, it's any ones game.

    What should I do in DayZ. Oh me oh my

    Just riffing off other's ideas: -Obtain full red/green/blue tracksuit. No light blue, no black. -Find same color Boonie Hat. -Equip Thick Framed Glasses (also accepted: Aviators. Thin frame glasses will be INSTANT DISQUALIFICATION!!!) -Nothing else can be equipped, or this is DQ!! And not the frozen treat kind! (Golden Brass Knuckles deemed acceptable for flair) -Head to highly populated city in Highly Populated server. -Toggle Run/Walk so your character is only walking. -Through direct comm's, blare loudly Run DMC's "It's Tricky" -Begin walking until you make contact with a stranger. -Without speaking or typing, try to communicate that the contact is being challenged to a dance off -Final Step: Throw Down. If done correctly, the contact will feel the affects of having been "served," thus initiating a dance off. ***If you witness these events transpire in exactly this way, please exercise caution in the area. For once it is Thrown Down and someone gets served, threat level will raise immediately to Oh, It's On which is what is blamed for the Economic Collapse in 1929.***

    So yeah, about that new Alcatraz island............

    Yes! So exciting to see my handiwork in a screenshot! Regardless of the implications it has on my driving ability. I didn't want to be one of those guys that always dares, but never does a dare. So I put my money where my mouth was and was surprised to see seafloor driving work. I was going to exclaim my amazement on here, but after a quick search it seems it's old news. Once again, I'm behind the times, or so my MySpace friends tell me. My new Public Hive goal! Do the E.T. move, using ammo/clips/mags/drums instead of Reeses' Pieces, then lock them in! Maybe hit them with some electricity first, for good measure. Hmm, now I think I'll got to suggestions to try to get in some Bear Mace.

    Map Changes in 0.53: Rewind and play it again!

    I love this one. It's like the truck is day dreaming. Like he just got done watching a Bond movie and is longing to be a gadget filled car. "One day, Phil. One day you'll make it to that island. One day you'll be an amphibious spy vehicle."

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    This. I built my own desktop 5 years ago for $1600, which was better than AW's top machine. With minimal upkeep/upgrades it runs great. And it was seriously easy. newegg, tigerdirect, and all the components tell you how to install. It's like Lego's essentially. I only comment because Down with overpriced bs. It is ridiculous.

    So I found this cow...

    You should all be sent to the punitentiary, or another suitable punishment will be found.

    So I found this cow...

    Oh Cod, animal puns? Do we have to stick to cows, or would you mind if I changed the species just for the Halibut? Oh, and please clean your shotgun, and wash your hands.

    Fire and smoke giving away your position?

    The human eye can spot the flame ofa single candle from 10 miles away on a clear night. I expect nothing less by the beginning of Q2! But seriously, I can't wait to see what it will look like. For now, Ill just light a bunch of decoy fires for people to come across. In the meantime, I will be skinny dipping off the Berezino docks. Who's coming with me.

    Most player concentrated areas

    Haha! Yeah, I just have a lot of tools on my desk. Sometimes its a wrench, sometimes it's a flat head (NOT a phillips, I'm not stupid). But now I set a second sprint key to my Num Pad Enter, so I just lean the mouse on it.

    Have you ever had to poo really bad, but still had a really long way to run? Then you decide to strategically place a hammer on your run key and hope for the best? That is how I am one of the random "lost at sea" deaths.

    Going AFK With Gear - Will Fresh Spawns Knock Me Out?

    That last guy! Man, what a good guy. Not only did he refuse to give up on you when you ran off like a mad man in only your skivvies, but he stuck by you through suicide, and still he did not give up on you. Meet me in Elektro. I would give that guy all I had too.
  17. Find nearest abandoned warehouse gather snacks for friends gather glow sticks Break many glow sticks Fill warehouse with snacks and glow sticks DubStep through mic Wait for friends to arrive Build signal fire Wait a while longer Eat some snacks and dance alone Break more glow sticks. They just can't see them, right? Wonder why nobody came Anger-cry while singing Ellie Goulding Clean up warehouse Go to bed early DayZ is seriously depressing for my avatar. TL;DR = OP, just stay on the beach. It's a beach. Nothing but lonely raves inland.

    DayZ Shotgun Suicide Animation

    The knife animation is borderline disturbing. I love it.

    Found a MP-133 Pistol Grip Shotgun

    Most definitely what happened. Still, nice find. Makes any character look badass.
  22. I agree with you on all suggestions for the new Hardcore server, except one. I think most people know about food allergies they have by the time they reached adult. However, I realize not all do. So make a notification that appears when you try to eat "I can't eat that" or something, but then make the chance for a surprise allergy to kill you. Hunts rabbit, sits down for deliciously unknown last meal, 5 minutes later your head has tripled in size and your foaming at the mouth. But I want complete freedom that will only be available if they add that little "something extra." You know those tense situations you or your group can get in when a much larger and better equipped player walks by, and it's a little too close for comfort? I want to roleplay that my character is the comic relief, so in that situation I want absurdly long and very audible flatulence. "How did you all get killed?" -- This a-hole farted. Then my character would say "No, it was this a-hole" and point to his bum. See? Comic relief.

    Found some clan's "secret" camp.

    I want to see what you did. Rearrange the tents? Just PM me the location in what server. Thanks! ;)

    What does "Go your way" mean?

    Everyone's response is bloated (tee hee)? because that's what distension means. But still, I get what you meant.

    Some DayZ Facts About You...

    I will clean a city of it's composite arrows, get the easy mats to make a bow, and then meet up with my group to run a long ways in formation. I will "desync" and insist they move on ahead and that I'll just catch up at the rhonda-views point. I will then rain long shots in their general vicinity while listening to the indignity in TeamSpeak, and even throw out the occasional misleading "Contact!" This used to be giggles n' shits with me and one other, but we became good at the lob shot. As long as the target stays stationary, prone, and remains so for ~25 arrows, he will eventually meet his match! Also I stole all 5 of the AK74 mags from my friends tent, loaded them up in my pants, jumped off a stout 10 foot ledge, then crawled back to deliver them ruined. All of this because on the day we met, after saving his life, he knocked me out, took my Mosin with scope n stuff, then gave me a chambered .22 and a shovel. "You can still run with us mate! we didn't know if we could trust you." Do you know now, jackass? I know you'll read this eventually, you smug bastard. I should point out that he returned all my stuff in the end, so, I may just be delightfully mad.
