I agree that a way to chat in game with your group only is badly needed.

That is so amazingly evil yet at the same time I can't help but be impressed. This kind of stuff is why I enjoy this mod. Just don't want to end up on the same server as you all.

The ability to Booby trap yourself via a dead-man switch or perhaps a car or helicopter would add a interesting dynamic to the game. This would make it more interesting and risky when it comes to stealing someones vehicle etc. As it stands its very easy to steal a vehicle and or loot someones tent. Or maybe just something as simple as a grenade with a stake and a trip-line. Someone meaning to rob the said item would still be able to, but would have to check for traps etc. As it stands grenades are not super common so I don't think that this will create trap spamming all over the coast.

I think that the humanity system is flawed, but that we should keep skins just add more skins. Have a default skin for newbies a skin for people in the morally gray area etc. I agree that letting everyone know that someone is a bandit is not the best way to handle things, but I do like that it goes along way in creating factions among the survivors. Another option that I think might work is that instead of a skin use some kind of rep system that updates based on proximity to other players. Say you take out a group of people and leave no survivors your rep would stay where it is, but if one of the group survives and gets away then your rep changes based on supposed word of mouth to the other survivors. Just some ideas

You mean bandits don't want other people to know there bandits shocking.
