A well-administered, UK-based, low ping, high FPS server could use a few MATURE adversary clans to spice up the clan-vs-clan PVP action. A bunch of us old guys (and one hatchett wielding madwoman) collectively known as the Fogeyz are looking for some action. The map is Chernus, with a few added buildings (barracks at NE airfield, hospital in Stary, store and apartments in Kamenka). Vet level zombies. 3P. If your can is mature (regardless of age) please feel free to join. No script kiddies (you'll be banned quickly), no folks who like to talk and make strange noises over side-chat (you disturb our naps), no rage quitters (on the off occasion that we get you first), please. Here is our server specs: http://arma2.swec.se/server/data/211214?page=5 And here is where to request a whitelisting: http://fogeyz.co.uk/index.php?topic=259.0 Again, if you're up for having some flung on a well-run server, bring your crew.

I play on the Fogeyz server. It is a "mature player" server with pretty strict policing (no side chat) and very good admin. It is not always white listed (we take it down sometimes on weekends to bring in more pvp traffic. Script kiddies get banned quickly. Rollbacks occur as needed. A few extra buildings. Four restarts per day. Perpetual daylight. Veteran settings with the Zed set pretty aggressive. Currently has a dominant Fogeyz clan (a bunch of us old folks who can't shoot straight and are probably more hazardous to ourselves than others), a small hostile adversary clan (WP boys I mean you), a neutral clan (TP) and a fair number of adhoc squads. Here is a link to the server: http://arma2.swec.se/server/data/211214 And here is a link to the whitelist request: http://fogeyz.co.uk/index.php?topic=259.0 So if your squad likes to play mature, can deal with victory and defeat without raging, stop by.

As a a "mature" player, I wanted to give props to our Admin Lt. Dan. He does an outstanding job with the server and keeps (most of) the script kiddies at bay. Server has a nice blend of clans, lone-wolf types, and noobs. Fun times.

Still loving Chernus. Play on a great whitelisted server witha bunch of more mature players and strict skiddie banning. Search Fogeyz to find it. Lots of fair but tough play and it needs the large map.

Locked doors and locked gun cabinets at military bases that require crowbars to open would 1) add a touch of realism, 2) make a player choose between axe and crowbar (or use inventory slots), and 3) encourage teamwork.

And snowshoes. And snow-mobiles. Horse-drawn sleighs. And SNOWBALLS!! And maybe zombie Santa won't only be in the smokestack.

Of course snow means....skiing!

Get off my lawn...or i'll shoot.

Thanks for the tip. Just signed up.

i respect my elders and refuse to shoot first. Beans to you. Wonder who the oldest Survivor is?

Maybe thats why the number of players is falling. The game is appealing to those of us so old school we remember the original "pong" and Pacman. Started with my kid, and probably have more hours logged than he does. The kids dont have the patience to nsmurvive, and they take stupid chances. Maybe we need a 50+ squad.

What a great idea - the mod or standalone needs soccer balls!

I think there are two answers. The first, as stated above, is based on the mechanics of the game. The second, and more important, is when you give up your personal integrity and morals by killing a fellow human being. Once a murderer, always a murderer.

No beans for you! Next you'll be shooting the little bunny wabbits.

So i just got shot by a script kiddie, who then grabbed my body and teleported mt to some coast in debug plain. I found you cant shoot yourself, so maybe we ought to add cyainide so you could off yourself and respawn.

My current "endgame" is to try and hunt snipers, particularly those that spawn in to the highest building in Cherno and snipe noobs with their DMR. Almost impossible to get them, one this is one pissed off grandpa who wants to protect his noobs.

Actually, that's rule #2. Rule 1 is don't get attached to your character or gear.

You're evil. Poor soul wasn't scripting or hoping, just searching comfortable territory.

Enjoy these days, when you don't know the map, you don't know the spawn locations, the Zed are f-in scary. Ditch the map until you find one in game. Try playing 1st person view only. This is when the game is at its best, even if you get sniped.

Try ditching the backpack in the beginning, and don't take military spawn that in reality you wouldn't know how to use. Try approaching unknown nubes and pairing for short periods. Sure, you'll get sniped sometimes, and shot on site, but the one-to-one success stories are worth it.

Not everyone is kill on site. Tonight i spawned in Cherno. Aggro'd Zed (had never played before at night). Made a bee line for the church, hopeing to lose a few with well timed turns. Still had a couple trailing me so i sprinted into Church just to hear "citizen, please stop". I froze said i would leave, and the kindly "pastor" wasted three or four Zed who had burst in after me, and left me a Maracov and a mag beforebwe parted. Makes the hack-kills worth it when you have an experience like that. Thanks "pastor"

Kids went back to school and also have homework. Only us Grandpas.

Are you using Commander? Make sure your versions are up to date, and filter for ARMA and DayZ verzions that match your settings.

Only way to deal with bandits is to double-tap to the cerebral cortex.

Too young for me.
