7-75 callaghan

Fear gets the better of us all sometimes. I was looting the NE airfield, late at night, approaching from the south to use the tree cover, intending on following the hangars on the way to the ATC. The server wasn't especially busy (night), and three companions where looking for meds about a kilometre east of me, planning on joining me later and picking me up in the truck they had recently repaired. On seeing the ATC, I pulled up my rangefinder and looked at the top floor to make sure it was safe to approach. Clear so far, so I shifted left towards the hangar and made my way up the hill. On hearing the zeds, I crouched and slowed down, taking a couple out with my silenced pistol, nothing too taxing. I rounded the leftmost hangar carefully, taking out one more Zed. That's when I heard the flies. Knowing what this meant, I dropped prone and came left around the hangar at a snails pace. One dead player, yet no walkers around. This wasn't too worrying, as he could have bled out after hiding. I checked his body, unlooted, and with bandages still available. I began to think that he might have been killed by a player, but had no real proof. I took some basic equipment from him, including 2 clips for my M9SD, and hid the body before making my way into the hangar. Two more bodies, that was when I really started getting scared, they looked like they had basic rifles and shotguns, ALICE packs, but nothing too high tier. Either way, the probability that there was a sniper tracking me was very high at this point. I ran into cover inside the hangar, aggroing two more Zeds, the M9 finished them without much difficulty, but not before one took a little bite out of me. That bandage came in useful. I told my group what was happening, and could they check the hilltop in case there was a sniper waiting for me to reveal myself, but they had their own problems. I was able to safely take an ALICE pack from one of the bodies, being as quick as I could, but suddenly had to drop to the ground again as two headlights lit my surroundings. I span around and looked through the ACOG. One car, three survivors inside, was heading my way at full speed. Had they seen me? Where they planning on running me over or dismounting in cover and flanking me? I had to make a snap decision. Knowing that the bodies were at my location, the chances that they were the culprits were pretty high, especially considering that the server was pretty empty at this point. I aimed at the driver, just around the chin as they were closing in from about 150m or so, bang, one headshot. The second shot was fired immediately afterwards, and took out the rear passenger with a single hit. Making a slight adjustment, I fired a third shot and the survivor riding shotgun was killed just as the car ground to a halt. The lights were still on, and I was somewhat exposed, but held my aim just to make sure no one disembarked. All good. The hangar was the only safe place to remain at this point, so I crawled to the back and waited, aiming at the entrance for about five minutes just in case another player reacted to the gunshots. Nothing. I felt mixed feelings, as I normally only kill people that I can be sure are bandits/murderers, but this time I couldn't be sure. Either way, the chances of another player being nearby at this point were pretty slim, and I was alive. The global chat was working on this server for some reason, and after a few minutes more a message came up - 'Hey that was pretty good shooting, what gun were you using?' I replied, and asked them if they had killed those players. 'No, we just wanted to loot the buildings and get the hell out again, look after our baby!' I was very surprised at how well they had just taken their entire group being taken out, and felt bad that I had just murdered my first innocents. Of course, they could have been lying, but I chose to believe them. Deciding that I had enough gear as it was, and as my group already had a decent vehicle, it would be plain greed and not survival need to take the car, loaded with the contents of their pockets and backpacks, so I sent them another message. 'Sorry about that, I had to do it because of the dead guys around me. I have what I need anyway, i'll leave the vehicle there, with your loot, so if you guys can make it back you can reclaim it.' I then cautiously exited the hangar, all the while watching the high ground with my finger on the trigger. Now I know you guys want to hear that there was in fact a sniper, and that he took me out and claimed it all, but that didn't happen. What did happen is that I was forgiven for my snap decision, and we agreed to meet up in future. I have a talented 5-strong group, so I wasn't especially afraid of revenge. Besides, I was the one who offered teaming up afterwards. I was surprised, based on my encounters with many 'types' on the forums, at how honourably they had dealt with the tragedy, and those are the kind of people I want in my group. So Marley and Co., if we meet on the treacherous plains of Chernarus once again, I meant what I said about teaming up. Besides, you'd be better off with me on your side than against you ;-) Well done for dying with dignity, you set an example that hopefully more will follow. And i'm sorry I mixed all your brains together into some kind of hellish parfait.

Wouldn't that be part of the fun though? Would completely change the dynamic of the situation in that town on that server.

Yeah it's true.

So what happened with the PvP heatmap? That ever published? Also, please never ever introduce a K/D ratio bullshit. I mean c'mon.

Well if i'm gonna make sweet love to a male gamer in a virtual environment, I want him as big, fat and ugly as possible, beard with dried bits of food preferable, but not necessary. But that's just my taste in male gamers I guess. IRL, i'm not sure I would go near a woman that is into gaming lol, even tho that did seem kinda cool to me five years ago or so.

Hell yeah, i'd use it, lead them into the woods, and then apply my suggested reproduction mechanic ;-)

Exactly, why? Is anyone actually trying to get laid on (within) this mod? Like I said, if you are comfortable with your sexuality, you should have no problem with it, its not like you have to actually make love, it is just a survival element. Besides, are you all really so narrow minded/homophobic that you can't just have fun with it?

I'd like to suggest two stickies be added, I think it is obvious that they would be successful, but would need to be stickied in order to get them to take off properly. 1. Trade thread (in survivor section to slightly reduce banditry risk) 2. Name 'n' Shame + Bounty Hunting Thread (to name betrayers and most wanted bandits, plus details of servers and when to find them.) They should speak for themselves really.

You are entitled to disagree, that is what makes it a suggestion, and not a 'declaration of absolute truth' post. :-) Let's see what others think. I'm only trying to get something going. And they can change their name, but not player ID, which we can track.

I'd find this more appealing if it were 21+, just my 2 pence. Reasons - met plenty of 'new' players, 18-19 years old, who were a long way from being mature in any shape or form. But the idea in general is good.

It doesn't have to be a priority, just a consideration. Do you actually consider flatulence is more important than human reproduction in a post-apocalypse situation? If you do, let's hope that you never find yourself in anything close to that situation, or your genes will forever be erased, only to be replaced by a short-lived cloud of fart. I tried to make it clear that the point isn't sex, but the continuity of humanity and rebuilding society. That is, after all, our primary directive.

lol

I did. I'm aware that you aren't talking about actual ingame babies, I was just making a joke. Obviously, it fell flat. I'll leave you guys to you semantics now. Ta'. Jokes are fine, i'm just very tired of people being completely unable to stay on topic or provide constructive criticism without 'flaming'. The joke might have been better received had you said something on point first... Even, something as basic as 'I'm so sick of real life babies that I specifically enjoy the absence of even their suggestion in this mod'. That would have been constructive. Are you bashing Christianity? I'm bashing your inability to both stay on topic without bringing irrelevant concepts into it, and your hypocrisy. You are the worst Christian I have met on this forum, albeit the first. You do realise that Christ said that each law of god was as important as the other, and should not be transgressed in the slightest? Well, you are obviously thick full of nonsense, as if you do not condone pre-marital sex in a game, then why do you condone murder? i.e. PvP? And also fail to adhere to the teaching of love thy neighbour and thy enemy? Looks like a bullshitter was just caught red handed. Callaghan out. I've never murdered a person in game yet, I'm a survivor not a bandit. Way to go, putting words into my mouth. ApeToe, out. It doesn't matter, you condone PvP, i.e. simulated murder, and bash people who are against it. My point stands. Btw i'm closing and restarting this thread because it has been swamped with mindless chatter that is neither on topic, nor interesting in any way for anyone who came here to read and discuss the suggestion, largely by one individual who has a problem with me for pointing out a poorly informed comment he posted on another thread, and is unable to discuss things without having his ego hurt. Sorry to all those who actually contributed something positive, but i'm not going to allow one of my posts to degenerate into a flame war.

Good going Bo0G, you've insulted this mans ego Lets just turn this into The Sims Online, since that game never quite made it. ApeToe, the moderator has already warned you for your behaviour. The only reason you are here on this thread is because you are sore for being knocked down for making silly and uninformed comments on the AS50/M107 thread. Grow up and stay on topic. I was never warned LOL. The reason I'm here is because I like to read suggestions such as this and the aforementioned thread ^^^ This idea is dogshit, just like the last you supported. Do you even play DayZ or do you just make gigantic worthless suggestions to start controversy, then bash everyone who disagrees with said dogshit ideas?? You are obviously not intelligent enough to see the worth behind the idea, and cannot see beyond PVP in a post-apocalypse scenario, I think that speaks volumes about you. The last idea I supported was the simple but excellent idea of female zombies, and if you think that is 'dogshit' (by the way the moderators already don't like you, so using language like that won't help), then again, it says a lot about your mentality. If you have no constructive criticism about what is clearly an essential idea to any apocalypse survival scenario, then you'd do yourself a favour by not saying anything.

Either way, it is impossible chemistry. Aluminium is easily oxidised, and extracted from its ore not by smelting but by electrolysis. If you want the crash-course in why this idea is simply unrealistic, chuck an empty beer can into a camp fire and watch what happens, doesn't exactly melt, does it.

We speak English on this forum, not Latin, etymology is not an argument for the incorrect use of a word. These words have clear, dictionary defined uses.

But there is no family involved - it is about teamwork, with a benefit afterwards if you both survive for a certain period of time. Why is everyone so obsessed with manlove here?!

As I have repeatedly said, I have no problem with PvP - but sniper rifles are too prevalent, and they essentially force PvP, in a mod that Rocket very clearly stated was 'not PvP'. Twisting someones words -the childish rhetoric I was talking about. Besides, if I didn't like PvP, I certainly wouldn't play the offline version of DayZ, there are 100+ better mods for that kind of gameplay. Coming from the guy who wants to turn DayZ into The Sims http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=22300 Please refer to the moderators comment directed towards you, my comment on childish rhetoric thereafter, and stay on topic.
