I am not Picard enough for this.

To this date, I have 0 murders and I intend to keep it that way. You can also find my name on the safe trade list. At any rate, no, I am not going to shoot anyone unless they make me nervous. EDIT: Unfortunately, I set the gun on the ground to move some stuff around in my bag, and it disappeared. Sorry bro.

I'm on US 790 hosted by brethren gaming. If you bring medical supplies, (specifically, 2-3 morphines and 1-2 painkillers) I will provide nicer loot and/or more ammo.

Go into 3rd person and make sure your character is not leaning left or right, you can get stuck this way by double tapping Q or E. Also make sure you are not aiming down the scope, by right clicking. Even if you have no weapon in hand, your guy will still walk slowly and aim carefully if you right click.

This actually looks pretty awesome, but seeing as how I'm in a ghillie suit and I do have a sniper rifle, I will be obligated to kill you in self defense.

What is the goal of your group? Are you KoS, helpful, or somewhere inbetween? If you can provide a little more detail about your plans, I would consider applying. I'd like to know what I'm getting into beforehand.

I tried using the search feature, but most other threads on the issue were simply QQ threads. I just respawned on the coast, losing all my gear. The thing is, I didn't patch up to 1.7.2.5 yet. I'm still running 1.7.2.4. So what exactly is causing this?

When you say version, are you talking about the Arma 2 version or the DayZ version? I joined back on the same server I was playing last night, US 20, without installing or running any patches.

So THAT'S what stupid looks like.

Well we wouldn't want that, lol. I forgot to mention, however, that I have had a successful trade with MikaelM, and he has already validated it with his response here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64364-to-the-forum-medics-all-groups/

Attempted 4 trades with DancingBear, and he shot me each time.

My primary gripe is how many hours of work can be evaporated by scripties in seconds. My group last night had two urals, a pickup, and 7 tents loaded with legit gear that we had gotten from repeatedly raiding the airfields and scouting for choppers. We had two SVDs, most of us had night vision, and three of us had M4A1 CCO SD. We even had located two GPS units. Our entire server blew up a few minutes ago, leveling all our tents and vehicles and killing us all. Sure was a fun way to end the week. My current plan: suck it up and start over.

Glitched out walking to close to a rock... Broken leg near Solnichny, and have no morphine on me.

Compasses have a fairly high spawn rate in residential areas, and AKMs spawn fairly often in military areas. If someone has a spare AKM, they may take you up on it. However, the nicer sniper rifles have very low spawn chances and would not be considered an even trade for a common tool like a compass.

Sounds good to me. I've got fresh goat meat, help yourself.

Because said idiot (me) logged out on Skalisty Island, and my boat was gone when I logged back in. Going to starve/freeze at this rate. Anyone with a PBX or Chopper (or a fishing boat, although we may both starve to death by the time we back across the water) able to come get me, I have decent gear in my tent (opposite end of the map) for payment.

I play on western US so I can't really help, best of luck to you though. ^^

You are not speaking my language. You are speaking your own special version of 'angry teenager attempting intellect', the same garbage you started in your first response by insinuating that the original poster was a whiner even though he was doing the rest of us a favor. Then you did it again in your next response, inferring that you have some significant age advantage over me, which is also completely irrelevant even if it is by some small chance accurate. Every post you have made so far in this thread has been disrespectful and condescending, and I started nothing other than responding to your original crap. All of my descriptions of you in my previous post have so far been correct, validated by your jackassery. "Bigmouth strikes again" I assume is referring to yourself and your insults, which are not wanted or needed here or anywhere else. Throw some more flame big boy, I'm loving it so far.

This info is all over the forums, but I'm going to make a short version here to help you get started. 1. Only go into big cities if you don't mind dying, because chances are you will die. When I respawn with nothing, I may run through Cherno and get out as fast as I can with decent gear, but I get sniped 50% of the time if there are more than 15 people on the server. 2. There is good loot in other places. Check your map for deer stands, smaller towns, and barns. Here is a map to help you find them: http://dayzdb.com/map#3.125.117 Look for the big green circles, those are high value barns and you can usually find Winchesters, Lee Enfields, CZ 550s, shotguns, and hatchets in them. Stay in the trees and follow the roads to find your destination. Every time you log in, the game tells you the name of the nearest town. With that information, you should never get lost. 3. If you really like finding loot quickly, go to a grocery store, but not in Cherno or Elektro. Those cities are too big and too close to the spawn points, so they are too crowded. Visit Zelenogorsk (northwest), Berezino (northeast), and the best, Polana (center of the map, slightly northeast). These towns are less likely to be guarded by cowards with sniper rifles. 4. All you really need to stay alive is a hatchet, hunting knife, matches, and a water bottle. This gives you heat, water, food, and blood. A gun is not necessary unless you intend to pick fights with people. Having one is handy for dealing with bandits, though. 5. You don't need a compass. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/How_to_find_North 6. Appearances can be deceiving. The friendly noob with the hatchet may suddenly attack you, and the guy in the ghillie suit with the sniper rifle may be friendly (he may, in fact, be me). Don't turn your back on anyone. 7. Lose zombies by zigzagging uphill, by zigzagging through trees and bushes, or by simply running in one side of a building and out the other. Follow those steps and you will live ten times longer. Just when you think you've got the game figured out, you will probably get sniped.

Based on the loot you described, you're in Stary, Elektro, or Cherno. Stop going there.

I will eagerly watch from next to my small campfire on skalisty. Currently throwing flares out every few minutes to try and attract help and killing the zombies in between flares to scavenge beans and soda.

Excellent advice.

Stop trying to establish some sort of fake superiority by referring to me as 'kid', you anonymous piece of arrogant internet trash. I enjoy trading with other players, but I typically have my friends watching with sniper rifles. If someone is not going to keep their end of the bargain, there is nothing wrong with calling them out on it and warning the rest of us. Consider this a public service announcement, and take your yellow striped spine elsewhere.

I died immediately upon stepping through the gate both times I tried it. I also died immediately crawling under the hole in the wall on the western side.

That info is rather outdated. Right now I'm on Day 2 and I don't want to lose my precious Enfield.
