is this an alpha within an alpha... inception alpha? :P Also, sawing open a tin of food? isn't that suicide? Get a hack saw, a piece of paper, a clean & empty tin. Saw in half, see how many pieces of metal you can catch on the paper.

If a black man (Can I say black?) is born in russia, According to Americans, they are Russian Africans. So.... If an African American Family, immigrated over Russia and had children, those children would be African American Russians. If the African American Russian Family moved BACK to the USA, they'd be African American Russian Americans. It's a system designed to FOREVER to seperate one race from another. This is why America is flawed in its values. But If a Black British Family did the same, not much would change. That's the diff between a corrupt society and a non-corrupt society, although our Prim Ministers are knee-jerk pricks. Black is Black, White is White, Asians are Asians. Indians are Indians. NOT according to America who thrives on War.

PVP becomes impossible. No matter if you're 'against' it or 'for' it. And that's after even partial loss of vision because vision is so important. I think, The DayZ team has to do some face-to-face research with people who have suffered blood loss, to varying degrees. It won't take much effort. C'mon, just because you've released the SA, doesn't mean you can put your feet up.

If you put it like that, after all there are masks with american flags on them alongside the m4.. A cowboy hat won't do much harm. If Russia, suddenly asked for Aid after a crisis, I'm pretty the USA would not respond. So, why are M4's and all other US tech in russia? They're American, not African American. Just another pair of words designed to create separation. I pledge my allegiance to the World, not any flag. I'd like to see them live in Africa after living "in da Hood" or a luxurious apartment bought by their well earned Dollars. They'd sooner call themselves American, than African Americans.

Whatever the Weather. Moto Helmet does not protect against KO. If you're wearing Said Helmet, you should get knocked into crouch or prone. It's a heavy, full bearing helmet, one punch, you should become vulnerable. Your Head is the pendulum of balance. It's the trade-off, the balance between Melee and Bullets. If you get shot in the head, yes, it protects. (to what extent, I don't know) It's still stupid. Why people would walk around with this item on their head 24/7 is beyond intelligence.

I've never seen such a comment within the forum. Such Grace. You should all be ashamed.

Oh, you use teamspeak> I'll KOS you anyday. Exploiters die by the sword.

Q & E

Thinking out loud since time began.

Just offering game balance. Bolt cutters: not yet implemented

His balance perfect!!!! Much perfection, much grace.

Then it would have to be added. Bolt cutters could break into fortified houses. It would be RARE. Considering it has multiple uses..... BOLT CUTTERS should be added. (In my opinion, I'm not a totalitarian Brony)

So deep, we must go deeper...

Friend with pliers breaks you free?

They should be rarer or have to take longer to cuff people. That way, it's your own fault. Being able to break out of them sounds stupid no matter how you look at it, it's simply game balance, so simply increase the time if you did the crime. How could a pair of hand cuffs become damaged, within different degree's before you find them? They're made from SUPER STEEL!!! They're deigned not to be damaged. Stupid alpha system, I say this and WOOSH... nothing

Have you ever worn a moto helmet and let somebody hit your head? ROFL The helmet is so heavy. Your head rocks to one side, you lose balance and awareness due to visability loss (3rd person view? hur hur). Basically 1 punch and you have no chance, regardless if you get KO'd I have no idea why they're in the game, the moto helmet only protects against bullets, which should be rare. so you're roaming in a helmet 24/7 in case you get shot in the head???? which is 1/10 chance of happening? What was Rocket Smoking?

Remember, A tap on the chin can KO the best of MMA fighters.

I think this thread will be funny to watch as it descends into chaos... or not... KO punchers are cowards after all

'Situation awareness' is the perception of environmental elements with respect to time and/or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variables changed, such as time, or some other variable, such as a predetermined event. It is also a field of study concerned with perception of the environment critical to decision-makers in complex, dynamic areas from aviation, air traffic control, ship navigation, power plant operations, military command and control, and emergency services such as fire fighting and policing; to more ordinary but nevertheless complex tasks such as driving an automobile or bicycle. Appearances mean nothing. Anybody who see's either A or B (who has 'Situation awareness'), will not trust either one. (Don't pretend you have situation awareness, I've been playing Arma 2 & 3, trying to achieve this, it's not something that comes easily, or for bragging rights, hur hur I'm fully aware hur hur.... NO, not yet.) Dayz, you either have enough time to assess the risk, or you're faced with a barrel to barrel confrontation. Regardless of what you THINK, it comes down to 'Situation awareness'... even if you have it, does it mean the other person has it too? Well, you have to assess that within seconds. Situational awareness makes this thread irrelevant. ~Sorry OP~

It's a horrible cycle though. I wear military gear so bandits don't see me.

Btw. we allways use an uniform in squad. Don't care which clothing it actually is, but we all carry the same. Server hoppers... EVERYWHERE

You'd walk into the yard of a maximum security prison, wondering why all these innocent people have been lock up.

Also, I'd like to add C & D . C ~ Casual clothed Female D ~ Military Clothes female with mask. My friend told me. he uses a female player more, because people trust him more, so he can kill them... not even joking. Edit :phew, almost posted D & E

A Because: Simmers dress casual. By simmers, I mean people who play DayZ for the simulation and not for the "I'm crazy murderer because people do that when shit hits the fan", yeah bro, maybe in your country. So, simmers would rather get close enough to make contact and determine the other player motives. (Unless they're simulating a weak minded murderer who cracks under pressure) I'm currently dressed in full camo. I pass random items of clothing and think: " this looks good, I'd like to wear this. *Drop items* But bandits will see me easily". Oh, nice, a prestine red shirt.. I've always wanted one of these. It looks good on me too... *Tears into pieces* *Puts camo clothing back on*.... Some day. If you think about it, might aswell, scrap all the clothes that are not green or grey or else the KOS factor has determined DayZ Fashionable Future.

It was touched on in a thread, but it wasn't in depth or justified, people didn't take it seriously. Maybe you could today. You might think it's BULL now but that's only because you brushed your teeth this morning. Here is my take on the Dental Hygiene aspect. Reason WHY. You're eating beans, which contains salt and sugar + other preservatives. Many amounts of tinned foods contain sugar, even foods, where Sugar has no right to be there. You're drinking soda.. oh my, Russian soda must be almost toxic, no offence, It's just that even soda from other parts of the world are bad... but a country with flimsy human rights, must also have a flimsy consumer rights foundation, which would entitle you to healthier food and drink. These business will do anything for profit, even rot your teeth by adding addictive substances, like sugar, caffeine. (If that's wrong... it's wrong, let's move on, but you know what I mean with greedy companies adding addictive substances that are unhealthy) Even fresh meat can get find its way between your teeth and stay there for days. Balance etc You start the game with awesome teeth. Teeth that a shark would be envious of. It would take many many days for effects to set in. Beard growth and hair growth have been touched on, so the tool are there to implement long term survival features. Fresh food + water have no effect. Certain other foods are the same. (discuss) Drinking water after eating to swill, negates the effects of "unhealthy content" food. The camera shake effect from pain occurs once every few minutes or more, with blurred vision occuring for short periods of time from wincing. (Tooth aches are no joke, pain which is coursing to the nerves of your jaw bone which is attached to the brain and that bone is just inches away from your brain. (discuss) I've had a fair amount of tooth aches from a fragmented lifestyle, at times, I'd go a few days without treatments, purely because of crappy dental administration in my area. light tooth aches for just a day, no problem but after 6 days....oh my, your whole head is on fire, you can feel the nerves all over your body starting to ache and burn, I had to drink copious amount of whisky to sleep. Without sleep... effects are multiplied.) Extensive lack of care can cause light sickness penalties. Treatments / Prevention A pair of pliers, this treatment cause some blood loss, If you're hungry or thirsty, you might feint. This can only be done a limited amount of times. (The Animation for this would be worth seeing.... and doing it to any captives would be Veeery nice to see > :( ) Hammer + Screwdriver... You would if you could. Toothbrush. The condition of the toothbrush would be important. Used with fresh, treated water or risked with wilderness/well water. Toothpaste, sure, sounds logical but rare considering the time that's passed. Floss... Which could be used as a tool for precise repairs? (discuss) Vegetation. Surely some plants out there can be mashed into paste and used for oral hygiene. Mouth Wash.. watered down alcohol? Mashed Vegetation mixed with water? (discuss) Painkillers. They mask the problem but really bad teeth still cause sickness. Do you keep dropping painkillers or do you whip out the pliers? I'd hate to see you neck all your painkillers only to see you need them for real wounds later on. (Could lead to addiction, substance addiction has been is an explorable feature, I read from the dev team) In the end. People have been talking deep about many aspects, worthy and sometimes trivial But I think this is an aspect worth covering (purely so i can pull out some teeth :D)..It makes you hurt, it makes you plan ahead.. it pushes hard decisions...
