Can't tell if Troll or...

This. It's simple enough and I'm sure Rocket will include it at some point. I mean...it's been suggested enough times and it's pretty much the best idea.

Yeah, I don't mind the 'levelling up at Pockets described it but only if those bonuses disappear on death. Sure, dying is bad enough, you lose your position, your gear and your zombiekills/murders/playtime...but you throw in losing bonuses like those? It makes the experience so much more tense. And it gives those players who've managed to survive longer (and obviously build up said bonuses) something to be proud of.

.:The Bandit Survey:. .: So why have you chosen to walk the path of “darkness"(was it for the beans =p?) It's kill or be killed usually. Everyone is KOS. And beans taste so much better when they're looted from a corpse. Just sayin'. .: Lets talk about tactics, what are yours? Take up a nice position overlooking an area with good traffic and pick off the small groups who come to take the precious lewtz. .: Do you prefer to hunt alone or in a pack? Group. So much extra safety. .: Your preferred hunting ground(s)? NEAF, Novy and rarely the NWAF. .: What are your weapons of choice? M24 and an M1911 with an M4A1 in the bag. .: Your greatest strength as a Bandit? Being a dick. .: Now how about a weakness of yours, come on everyone has one? Spamming chat. And being a dick. .:Lastly, how about telling us your greatest moment(s) as a Bandit of Chernarus? We'd just got a kill or two in Novy MB and we were just leaving when one of us spotted someone in the camp. We were unsure if we were gonna go back or not, but my friend and I were bandits and we needed the kills so we didn't revert to civs and lose our gear (it's like being a fuckin' vampire). So we walked back and found him in a tent. I took him out before even noticing his name. After we'd killed him, I realised it was a guy who, a few days earlier, had D/Ced when we were chasing him. Fuckin' justice served.

They mistook an AK shot for a sniper fire? Big mistake right there, haha. Reminds me of a plan me and my friend had. I was posing as an injured player and was asking in global for some PKs. My friend sat up on a small ridge by a road overlooking the field I was in. Soon enough, two guys came along to help me out. I was pretty surprised to see one had an M249 and the other a DMR. They made their way towards me and my friend took the shot. Well. To be precise, he took three...missed them all. They opened firing on me, assuming it was a trap and left me badly injured, on about 3k blood or something. I retreated to a small cluster of trees and bandaged before making conversation with them, explaining that I was friendly. They bought it. I was pretty relieved. They even gave me food and a BT which was rather nice of them. The next fifteen minutes consisted of me chilling with them, trying to 'help' them find my 'friend'. Eventually, we gave up the hunt for my buddy and myself and the prey scampered off. My friend had been tailing us the whole time and once again missed a shot, alerting them to his position. They turned and just flattened him at 300m. I stood there, scratching my head, not sure what to do. They were both reloading when it happened. About four zombies came running towards us; they'd been attracted by the gunfire. After helping them dispatch the zombies, the two badly wounded guys start bandaging, backs facing me...both of them. At the same time. I couldn't fucking believe my luck. So about five Winchester shots or so later, I set off with an M249 with 600 rounds, an M9 SD and a DMR along with a pair of Rangefinders. The rage in chat was hilarious. I could only muster the following retort to it; "HUEHUEHUE."

Seems like a solid idea. I can't really fault it. If there's bandits camping a spawn/area, someone will just say so in global and everyone, who isn't a moron, won't spawn there. Bandit camping solved. N1.

In relation to the point about roads. Walk across them if there's zombies nearby; when you walk on a road, the vision-o-meter shoots right up. By crouch-walking, it sort of negates the effect. Just go slow, bro. Go slow. Also, make sure you know the numbers of the group you're engaging...no point taking the first shot you see to kill one only to be hunted and castrated by his seven friends.

We're at the North West Airfield, in the control tower. Me and two others are looking for loot blah blah blah. We were just about to head down the ladder in order to check out the barracks when we hear the crack of a Winchester. So, naturally, we just retreat to the second floor (apart from one of us...who got shot. Foolish boy). I just watched the stairs with my newly acquired M1014 ready for anything. The shots had attracted zombies, so I'd killed about 7 of them and they'd littered the stairs. This bandit, in all his wisdom, walks over the dead bodies to get a look upstairs. Yeah. He died quick. So did his friend who followed afterwards. Seriously...who'd blindly walk up the stairs against an enemy with a shotgun who's just massacred a load of zombies who'd come up the same way? Oh well. Got a GPS out of it. Win!

There's only one tenant to the bandit code; kill or be killed...and LOOT ALL THE BEANS!

And the whole 'kicking for an admin' isn't really an acceptable excuse either. If it's not an urgent issue, the admin can simply wait for a slot to free up by raping his enter button like the rest of us plebs. RCon anyone?

Meh. I think half the fun of the game comes from those tense moments when you're walking through the woods, alone, for God knows how long, unsure if that movement you saw was a tree or some punk ass bandit. Make vehicles too accessible and you lose that. I don't really like the idea that everyone who rolls into Cherno could pick up a car and just drive around. Too many cars and it wouldn't feel like an apocalypse.

Yeah, everyone is kinda annoyed. But remember, this mod is in Alpha, really early Alpha and it's experiencing some serious growth in the players and servers department. So be patient and just chill out. (:

Seriously, I'd ignore Termofday. He's probably just a 12 year old trying to troll you guys...easiest way is just ignore him. inb4 "umadbro?". But yeah...no way it could've been a nade; you guys were well spaced. I'm assuming it was a hacker as opposed to an admin, seems much more likely.
