<------ Dragunov SVD, my favourite sniper-rifle. It'd definitely get my vote, even if it is a little over-powered. :) But yeah, making sniper-rifles too widely available would not be good for the game.

Dude... Funniest Standalone video I've seen yet! ^_^ I was going to play a nice, but now I'm not so sure... You got my vote, more hostage situation items/interactions please! The funnier the better, lets not go down the dark road. >< "I won't forget you Robert!... Wait... Does he have any gear? Give me your hoodie." For shame, for shame... *shakes head* ^_^

It was all worth it! I learned a new word. :) Caveats... I like it. Now I just have to find a way to slip it into a conversation. ^_^

143... So yeah. 200? :D

Me too. ^^ Except the first question, but I'm not sure I like the last option all that much; was meant to be preferred play-style, not fixed in stone. >< Too late now though. :S

Health and blood are two different things. And one punch to the head can in theory kill you, people come up on manslaughter charges like this all the time. :( Check this video and the follow up out for good explanation.

I'm sure it is something that will be implemented at some point, a greater difference between the types of servers that is.

Australia would undoubtedly ban, they do not like kiddy violence at all. Also, I can't remember who exactly said it, or where on the forum it was, but the general gist was that they had no problem pushing boundaries as long as it was for a purpose. A fair stance to take. Kids in DayZ is a little unnecessary, no matter how much many think it would add too immersion. EDIT: Found the quote: orlok, DayZ Forum Team; on the subject of cannibalism and other things brought up in http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/168722-we-need-cannibalism/ If these "ideas", no matter how distasteful, could add something to the game or peoples perceptions of the realities of such actions the Id be all for them being in games. I'm all for pushing boundaries but only for a very good reason, never "just fer teh lulz"

Whoa!... Brutal. ^^ I like this one I found a while ago... :) I guess in these examples they are tolerable because the point is you are trying to avoid them?

Personally I advocate freedom of expression within the arts; and what art is higher or more all-encompassing than that of video-games? That said, it would be a lawsuit or banning debacle waiting to happen. Players might be ready for this sort of thing, but society isn't. :( I remember the massive outrage at the airport level in Call of Duty, didn't really see what all the fuss was about myself. At the end of the day all it is is pixels on the screen, people just have to blame something for horrendous occurrences which are probably caused by the intolerance's they can't admit too. I feel no more disgusted by anything I've seen in a video-game than certain paintings by Francis Bacon, and far less than pictures made by good war photographers. Yet those same people that would cry out against a violent video game would probably support another Vietnam war. Hypocrisy 1 - Sense 0. EDIT: Oh yeah, and big up for whoever made the Killable Children mod for Skyrim, why shouldn't I if I want to? I never have, but the freedom to should be there... I like your idea about family role-play. "Yes honey, I agree he is a little young; but what happens if we both get eaten? He needs to be able to swing that axe correctly..." ^^

Call me a paranoid conspiracy theorist, but the only people I have a problem with knowing everything about me is governments; never trusted the lying so-and-sos. And with everything coming out recently about the NSA and other international intelligence-agencies spying on pretty much everyone (even tapping Angela Merkel's phone ^^) I don't think I could stop them if I tried. Not unless I went back in time and stopped myself ever going near the internet that is. I'm not really a fan of Google anymore either, but using the internet without it is near impossible now it's successfully wormed its way into every nook and cranny like a parasite. Seriously, it's frikkin' everywhere, watching everything you do, on every site you visit... Big Brother much. :( Anyway, thanks for the tips Griff. Even if for some they are too late, they are certainly worth bearing in mind in future.

Cheeky! At least his posts have purpose, even if there are a lot of them. ^^ But a smile and purpose are two things which I find hard to find on forums sometimes. And KoS, I imagine the weather, or rather lack there of, is to keep the game simpler for now. I'm not an expert but I imagine it's something they want to add closer to optimisation time.

I hope you guys aren't complaining? :P I rather like the way KoS talks, never fails to bring a smile to my face. See... --> :D

You have my beans sir! Both, for wonderful suggestions, and also great presentation thereof. :)
