Hero of Canton

Thanks to all who participated. Search "Hero of Canton" on the forums to find the original thread for more information and back story. We'd like to do this again! We'll post when we do. There was a ton of footage to edit together so I rushed it today. Some entertaining stuff in there.

Thanks

We've had our fun hoarding vehicles on this server and the challenge to keep adding vehicles has worn itself out! So, we wanted to do something fun: To start with we'd like to give away the Red Sedan! We'll park it somewhere very near a shore town around HAPPENING NOW!!! (master servers are down, we'll shoot for 8pm and see how it goes)pm EASTERN (today July 23rd) and announce which server we are on and which town it is near after the car is placed. What I'm hoping for is to see some shore dwellers fight over the car and someone eventually drive it off! And if some people want to camp the spot picking off people as they run to the car, by all means! Hopefully they will start hunting each other too. Bottom line is however exciting or lame it turns out, someone will eventually end up with a vehicle to have some fun with. Any thoughts? I'm afraid I'm not giving enough time for people to prepare or know about it, or that no one will care. But I figure if people have a character they don't mind losing, it would be fun to fight for the vehicle. I'm hoping people don't think so much about the prize of the Red Sedan and more of the mini-game aspect of a sort of king of the hill. I will try to hide somewhere near by and record with FRAPS.

Here ya go! http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/47623-video-hero-of-cantons-used-car-sale/

BTW was taking some pot shots at some people afterwards just before I logged off and someone snuck up on me with a shotty and got some good gear! I heard him coming but it takes so damn long to switch to my silenced M9 and then try to move that he had a good 3 seconds where I couldn't move or shoot. I think he DC'd right after looting me though because I had some people looking at my position that couldn't see him :) Hope to do this again soon. Thanks for everyone that participated!

I recorded it! I'll try to edit it together maybe tomorrow and post the link here! Have fun cobra, from my angle the smoke def helped!

Placed a spare tire right next to the car! You don't even have to hunt for one. I see at least 4 people, 3 groups, still running around!

Another interesting fire fight, no casualties. A survivor with a hatchet just drug like 45 zombies past two armed survivors but I think they're focused on the car.

It's still there! Has a broken tire it looked like! Pretty big fire fight, 3 casualties, 4 more customers in cherno on my last count. Car still there with wounded tire!

LOL two different people just got in it and were ambushed. Someone shot the tire out but looks like they survived so far...

Red Sedan has been refueled. I see one customer in Cherno roaming about!

Red Sedan is still alive! Join in! Use REMOTE with the ip above if you're having trouble. Join the fun.

LOL someone just wrecked a quad near it... big fireball.

You might want to bring a jerry can, sorry! Didn't do that intentionally lol.

OK! Car is on SERVER US 481 on the Soccer Field in northern Cherno! We'll see how this works even though joining servers is a little broken right now. To join manually use 199.116.118.118:2342

Master servers are down looks like. I'll postpone this until they are ready since people can't search for the server!

Yes sir! Hope to see you there.

We also have some other vehicles we will try to do this with as well if this goes well. Thanks for the feedback so far.

Thank you Pinin, but... what do you think? lol. By the way, I have no intention of sniping players myself. I don't want to discourage people by shooting them. I will shoot people if they get too close to where ever I hide, though :P I'm going to be making a server announcement as well.
