Don't forget the recombining ammo bug. (ie, recombine your 1 round left in your magazine of M1911 into a full six shots of 45 ACP, the recombine the ACP back into a full M1911 mag. Rinse & repeat.) You don't even have to log out. Infinite ammo bug, I love you, but I hope you're fixed soon.

timestamp the part where my spine is meant to be chilled. It wasn't.

The Ghost Of Cherno Town One fine day in the middle of the night I was crawlin' peacfully through Cherno sorta looking for a fight When out of darkness come some other survivor at a crawl with his thumb on the direct chat callin "I'm a friendly Y'all." Well I didn't quite believe him cos she looked a little cray So I called em over closer on the condition they stay away He complied with my request and made her way towards my spot I said freeze you unclefucker or you'll get your bitchass shot After he left she and I went on our way In opposite directions, side by side in fresh mowed hay When all upon a sudden as the hours dragged by he she it said holy shit with my little eye I spy... ..a white barn with a red roof in a pretty shade of blue we should check it out said friendly, I said screw that, after you So I led us into the barn slowly at a flat out standing run which attracted every zombie without agroing a one. Holy crap I yelled out calmly, reload hatchets, here they come! and the friendly bandit dude/chick started slaying every one with the zombies dead or dying we had a right quick look around but apart from empty beans cans there was nothing to be found. We cleared the barn out quickly and decided we should book when on impulse I said hold up, wait, lets just have another look. I went back and looked around real quick for quite a while and was surprised to find beans and road flares in a tidy little pile There's some thing fucky going on here I called to the chick dude where before we had left nothing there's now flares and freaking food you better come take a look and get away good sir slash mam cos there's ghost that haunts this barn and fills it up with more than cans. you don't believe me neither did she but I couldn't give a damn I know what I saw with my two ears so screw you mother man, There's a ghost, a haunt, a poltergeist, I aint messing around And it roams round dropping loot unseen all over Cherno town so beware if you're out looting and think you've cleared out every spot because chances are there's a ghost behind you replacing all the loot you got Don't believe me? Try it some time clear a house out and you'll see there's a ghost that roams round cherno leaving stuff for you and me.

Answer for YOU. Nope. When you brag about a weapon that last I knew was removed from the game and can only be had by using hacks, I call hacks. Problem?

Note to self. Post or get drunk, don't do both.

You're not the boss of me. So you're saying you weren't involved, you failed to comprehend the fact the logs had been pulled and reports had been sent, and you just decided to try and start an argument on the forum anyway? Dude. That's sad. Just join a server, get whatever it is you're mad about out of your system. Let us worry about who to report and for what. No really, we got this. Go have some fun.

^ well the reports are in, I'm still playing. My copy of ArmA II isn't BE banned. Life's good. It won't be the first time people have earned BE bans DCing against TOGgers. Oh how we lol. So you know, post what you want, but the fact is this will be iirc the 4th time people have battle logged on us and been BE banned. As for your sideways threat about admins in hot water, do your worst. No really. try as hard as you want. Good luck tarnishing this clans rep. Troll moar maybe?

thread delivered.

Until you've driven an ATV while unconscious and frapsed it, don't talk to me about rare shit.

two outta three aint bad :) Looking forward to finding another L85 myself then. They rule, lost one with the patch that "took them out."

don't edit out the bit where you're bragging about your thermal scope because... http://s15.postimage.org/obfu0j78b/therm.jpg

Fair fight and a good one. Dunno about the other guys but I was on the pushbike drunk on white russians and beyond giving a damn so I was easy meat :D Respawned on the coast, stole an ATV and rode it off a cliff for the lols. Just wanted to see if it would land on the wheels. it didn't. The other guys, that was a perfect vehicle ambush, Kudos. You killed the driver just as you were spotted, and cleaned up the others in the vehicle before they could get out. There's nothing anyone can do in that case. But at least none of us logged out like little girls who's bra is too tight. Just curious, Where did you get a thermal scoped weapon, thought the L85A2 AWS been removed? You didn't just report yourself for injecting removed gear into the game, did you? Because that would be hilarious. Just your two guys in the barn who battle logged just before you got us, while the admin was online. (lol banned.) Don't worry, the logs will be checked now you've just posted about your "therm." So no, your boys won't be getting a rematch. Or playing much Day Z until their mom buys them a new copy of ArmA II. There are 55.000 active TOG members, about 140 playing Day Z, So no, you didn't get all of us.

fucking six launcher. piece of shit. thanks for breaking my game, asshole.

^ one man with a SAW maybe. That sounds like a dare because it is.

Green Mountain? For a little while me and some of the guys from my clan had a FOB/loot stash near there. Nothing fancy, two tents in the woods, but every now and then there was enough good kit in there to warrant a posted lookout. I pulled lookout there one night. I was in the bush, it was raining. I'd justed cracked a heatpack and was toasty warm, under a pine tree in the lee of some rocks looking back down to where our tents were. In the trees I catch a flash of light. Not lighntning, there'd been some of that around, but this was very localised. Like a torch. Exactly like a torch. I watch and sure enough, it comes again, a little further on up the hill. This time I catch a glimpse of the light source, and see enough to be able to tell it's a guy with a shotgun with the light on it. Over TS I inform the boys we've got a contact near the tents. I tell them he's flashed a light twice, the second time I got eyes on him. The boys are 2km away, heading up to Stary, and even though it's no biggy, two guys break off from the group and start coming back my way. just in case, right? I watch as this guy continues up the hill, flashing his light every 30 seconds or so. He passes me and proceeds up to the radio tower which is a few hundred meters away. I decide to stay on task, after all, what's the point of taking a guard duty if you're going to wander off post? He guy hadn't gone anywhere near our tents so what did I ca... A flare pops. I don't mean a roadflare, someone fired a green flare up over the radio tower. I hadn't heard anything, but I would have heard the ploomp of the M203 if it had've been old mate switching primaries to fire the flare. I figured he was meeting someone at the tower, and they flare had been some sort of signal. A really stupid, blatantly obvious signal everyone within 5km would see, probably including anyone at the North West Airfield who happened to be looking roughly south right now. Next thing I know, an M16 barks out a three shot burst and I wonder what the hell is going on. If these two were signaling each other, who fired at what? The clouds part, the rain stops and the moon comes out. I turn to face the tower and scan the top level with my binos. There, trying to hit something, is a military zombie. I drop the binos and look around me then raise them again. He's going off his face at nothing. The flare goes out and the green glow dies with it, but there's still enough light to see by. The boys have covered two thirds of the distance so I tell them I want to check out the tower, if one of them can peel off to watch the tent please. I get up and make my way towards the compound, crouch running in the shadows. I go around to the North and then cut southeast to put myself in the trees opposite the front gate, but as I'm about to cross the road, I freeze. Milling around in the road are dozens of zombies. I'm not kidding. I stopped counting at 20, guessing at least 30 I could see. No sign of the guy with the torch or the guy with the M16. No lights. No sounds. Just a hoard of military infected. I've got the M4A1 CCO and two clips. I'm not liking my chances in a fight against these kind of numbers in the open, so I decide to leave. I turn around and almost walk into another survivor. It's flashlight shotgun man. I'm still turning when he puts one into my leg. I go down, broken leg, bleeding hard. He fires another shot. Not at me, just right beside me. He steps onto the road, and flashes his flashlight, this time at the zombies, who go insta-batshit. Over the direct chat I hear *feast, my pretties!" and a maniacal laugh. I'm so screwed. I'm awake, I have morphine, I have a bandage. What I don't have is time. The last thing I see before the zombies arrive and I take the vallhalla shortcut back to the coast is a red flare shooting up over the tower.

It never ceases to amaze me, the number of idiots who think kill or be killed = survival. It must be a cultural thing. Think Virginia Tech. Think Columbine High. Think Hurricane Katrina. Where I'm from, we recently had a cyclone 2/3 larger than Katrina. 500km of coastline was effected by the cat 5 core, 2,000km of coastline felt the force of the storm., many towns utterly destroyed. Water and power were cut to hundreds and thousands of people. Tens of millions of dollars of damage was done to property. One person ...ONE PERSON, died. And he died because of the exhaust fumes of the generator he was using inside. In the weeks following the Cyclone, there was no looting. There was no raping. There was no murder. What there was, was a whole lot of people helping other people. I myself went with a work party to the worst effected area and swung a chainsaw for a few days, clearing fallen trees from roads and yards. I worked for free, and while we worked, locals would come out to us with food and drink. Free. As a vote of thanks for our help. Others donated food and money to relief centers. Others took battery operated radios, gas cookers and tinned food to shops in effected areas and just left them "for anyone who needed them." $185 million dollars was donated by people and companies around the country for disaster relief. If you're playing Drathmatch Day Z, kill on sight, survival of the fittest, you're a freak. You're not one of the masses, you're not in the majority. You're fucked in the head basically. You're the batshit insane lone gunman who eventually dies in a hail of police gunfire. And don't try that "there won't be any police when the shit hits the fan," bullshit. I was stranded in outback Australia by a flood once, with 300 other people. No police. Limited food supplies. And by the second day, a retired ex army chef turned truck driver had turned the roadhouse into a messhall, and was preparing meals of export quality beef and fresh veges (that would have rotted in the trucks, had we not eaten them.) We ate like kings. Slept on the floor in the bar. We survived by pulling together, making the best use of the available resources, and as humans tend to do (the ones who arent batshit insane, that is,) we got ourselves organised and continued to act with civility and common decency. So there's a ray of sunshine. In times of real tragedy, you're going to find people are generally good. You'll be helped. You'll be fed. You'll be housed. You'll be treated with compassion and respect. Unless you're in the US, in which case you might not be so lucky, because helping others is communism or something. I play Day Z the way I live my life. I help people. I get stuck in and do the hard work that needs doing. I'm charitable. I'm friendly. If you're doing it tough, I'm there to help smooth the way. I'll never be a bandit. Something to think about. late edit. If you're curious about the monster cyclone I was talking about, check out this link which shows the storm superimposed on other continents around the world. Surviving. It's something we do together, or don't do for long. http://www.news.com....e-1225998762870

Yes. My back button was glowing green, armed with an hatchet and kept whispering I SEE YOU. Now do you believe me?

Angry. about 800 words into a post and I brush the back button on my mouse. All that writing. Gone, lost in time like tears in the rain. C beams. Tannhauser gate. Fucking ajax. Note to self, cautionary tale to others: Compose your long posts in an offline text editor.

Dear Rocket, Why not just give up this attempt to make something unique, lose the zombies and just make it yet another boring fucking deathmatch ™ only on a bigger than usual map. Why waste you time attempting to do something unique, when according to one tard, EVERYONE wants the same shitty game play they get from every other fucking shooter on the market? Why ass about with having to eat or drink? Why the fuck do i have to find ammo? I just want to run around and shoot people. So does simply everyone else. And if they don't, fuck those carebear pussies. If you even try to offer anyone else a different gaming experience, I will come in there and grief the fucking shit out of everyone else for not playing the way I want them to play. Also, take guns off everyone except me. People who shoot back are hacking. Survival of the fittest yo. even if you're fucking retarded.

Not true. I agree 100% combat logging, alt F4ing, doing a logoffski or whatever you want to call it is a lame move pulled by the worst kind of sperm burper. But, you see, there actually is a reason to do it. You see on the right hand side of your screen, that little brown square? See where it counts you zombie kills, and more importantly, you murder count? If you die, it goes back to zero. And that right there is a built in, foolproof, balls out blatantly obvious reason for that kind of douchbaggery. People are in it for the kill count. Full stop. End of story. Conversation over. Of course, there's no shortage of wankers out there who also do it because they feel clever when they get a kill no matter how lame their method of getting it, simply because they know they've pissed a complete stranger off, but mostly I think you'll find most of the pissants in this game are here for the murder count and the ego boost it brings them. They take out the bandit skin, but leave the murder counter then wonder why the game devolves into a deathmatch. But it seems this kind of rocket science is too hard for game devs to figure out. Who can tell them? Who will save us from the pissants? This looks like a job for captain obvious...

In before "there's no rules" "it's a sandbox" and "there's no 'right' way to play this mod" posts. All of which are bullshit. No, really. Except the first one. There's no rules apart from no racism? Yeah whatever. How about tossing in a few rules then? Start with the premise "you have no legitimate reason to server hop while camped in buildings like the NWA barracks." You do it for loot? bitch please. Loot doesn't spawn if you log on inside a building. So stop lying. You're only server hopping there in the hope of catching some other player unaware and get a cheap faggy kill. There's no right way to play the mod? Are you shitting me? There sure as shit are some wrong ways. Ghosting. Server hopping looking for players either in buildings or in towns you have an overwatch on, You think that's the "right" way to play? I think you're a moron for even expecting me to swallow such unmitigated bullshit. It's cheap, It's cowardly and it's pathetic and you know it. It's a fleas dick above running outright hacks. In what way are you part of some ooh la la hardcore survival realism flavoured zombie apocalypse if you're switching servers every five minutes? Ever last motherfucker camping the North West Airfield or Stary tents who hasn't seen a survivor for five minutes, who then logs onto another server, waits another attention-deficit-disorder indicating period of time before server hopping again, getting a kill on the guy who has two friends on overwatch and just spent 30 minutes casing the place on the server you just logged into, then switching servers yet again, I'm talking to you. You're fucking the game for people who actually want to play it properly. GTFO you candy ass cheating little bitches, and fuck your "there's no rules" bullshit. Ban server hoppers? I'd rather stab them. /rant

How about a competition to see who can survive the longest, only to be killed by a server wide nuke, or a competition to see who can get teleported above the NWA to fall to their death from the greatest height? Or how about a best accidentally pressed the respawn button not the options button story competition? Or my personal favorite, a who can be in a boat when a server side desync happens and end up in the water and lose all their gear race? XD srsly tho, an in game video competition, along the same line as the halo fails of the week series, with a devs choice and a players choice prize. Or, a fanfic competition, again with winners for devs choice and players choice.

cool, a mindreader! Will I marry soon? What number am I thinking of right now? Man you must KILL IT at Casinos, knowing what people are thinking. Or did you just make an assumption? I think you did. I think you have no idea what I'm assuming, and missed the irony of making assumptions about what you assume I'm assuming. I also think you're not very good at context cues, and you've been a tad defensive for someone who's claiming to not be a bandit. Bandit skins won't come back but I wish they would. Again, if you don't have a problem with killing other players, you're the last one who should start bitching about other players killing you, especially if you consider every other player you see a target yourself. Especially if you pride yourself and gloat about killcounts in the forums. Especially if you post youtube videos showing how proud you are of shooting others in the back. and that's what a lot of bandits are doing. So do you seriously think I give a shit if they're worried about other people killing them on sight based on an unmistakable indication that the person you're looking at kills other players often enough to have a bandit skin? They should suck it up, or play differently if it bothers them. It's not wrong to be a bandit, God knows what crack you pulled that idea out of, but put it back. I kill players sometimes. I give high end sniper rifles to clanmates who use them to kill people. I fucking love PvP, and I'm not afraid to wear a skin that shows it. Question is, are you?

This is just an observation not a judgement. It would seem not so much a case of the mod being boring, but you're choosing to play it in a very boring way. Here's things I do for fun.1. go hunting for camps. Lots of walking around the map, quiet boring in a way, but also pretty nerve wracking since you never know which pine tree is the one with the CoD sniper camped under it. and there are a lot of trees. Once I find a camp, I case it out, clear it if I can, and raid it. Other players tents load rare guns, NVGs and Coyote Backpacks far more frequently than the barracks ever do. 2. Ambush and/or steal vehicles. I have preferred high traffic ambush sights. I have preferred weapons for ambushes. I enjoy getting in other player's heads, figuring out where they're likely to be, or be heading, and killing the driver as they come around a corner into my field of fire. The rush when you hear the engine in the distance is a whole lot better than the rush of seeing a lone, empty handed survivor hitting up a military loot spawn in the hope of finding a gun and taking their defenseless scalp. 3. Playing santa. Sometime I'll find an ATV. I don't like riding them, so what to do? Well, maybe go back to a camp I had to leave a ton of stuff I couldn't carry before, load the ATV up with guns, ammo and other supplies, then heading down to the first line of hills above the coast, blasting the horn a few times, lighting a fire, stacking it with woodpiles so it burns for ages, and just leaving. Pulling off something like this, by yourself or with friends, is a whole lot more fun and challenging than serverhopping without moving from your boring sniper nest, looking for newbs to kill. Plus it makes players who hoard stuff mad, and gives other survivors cool stories to tell that don't end with "and then I killed him/he killed me." It's a sandbox. Make less boring sandcastles. All that said, some dynamic events would be fun too. Edit: one thing I don't do for fun is raid the NWA. Too many server hopping candy bandits looking for lame kills and easy loot. It doesn't matter how good or careful my mates are, odds are as soon as they reach the barracks and start to do a sweep, someone's going to spawn in and kills at least one of them. and usually logs out soon after.

Hold on a second, you're QQing about bandits getting killed on sight, when the only way to become a bandit when the skin was in was to routinely kill on sight? Haven't you ever heard about paybacks, and how they're a bitch? What about irony, heard of that? As far as I'm concerned habitiual player killers should have a big fuck off flashing light over their heads that says I kill people, kill me. and it should also attract zombies. Fuck it, make the light carcinogenic too. If you think it's fun to go around killing other players you're the last person who should be crying about getting killed. Otherwise you're a bigger pussy than the "carebaers" you like stalking and preying on from your safe distant hide, with your sniper rifle.
