Font has now been changed. How does that look?

Yes I've heard that a couple of time now. Will be changing it very soon, thanks for the feedback.

Hetstaine, for your amusement I offer up my failed interrogation clip.

Thanks for the feedback. It took us a while to get the newspaper feel down right. I'm still not sure about the font, I think some people find it hard to read.

Anyone is welcome to join the CFP group, we have a bunch of different roles available. It was quite fun rolling into an interview with a small entourage but it quickly escalated and deaths did occur.

Thank you Fraggle. I have loads of hosting space spare so I'm hoping some of the smaller DayZ media can utilize some my space to host their own content as I've spent a lot of time getting the design and CMS sorted so it's now easy for anyone to upload and host.

After a 2 month hiatus while I completed the DayZ novel I can finally proudly show you the next first murder interview with Klesh. The extra special thing abut this interview was that I was fortunate enough to interview Klesh two hours after he'd committed the deed, So his response and emotion are still raw as you'll see.

I can confirm there was an NDA that was linked to the invite. You needed to sign it and send a scan back which I did. The NDA is quite general, and therefore can cover quite alot which was probably why no one has mentioned the testing until after Rocket did, even though we were invited before Christmas. Right now according to the NDA we can't do anything with images, videos, streaming etc. But Rocket has said he'll allow streaming so I assume that means videos too. But until I get confirmation form the DayZ Dev team I wouldn't dare stream, upload videos, picture etc. My plans for the test are pretty simple, explore the entire map and try to break every single part I can. I'm expecting it to be buggy, full of glitches, and broken in so many ways. To me its the least i can do for a game and team that's given me so much joy, frustration, elation, pain and a bucket load of great stories and memories. Hopefully my contribution will help get it up to a better standard for everyone else to enjoy down the track. If they do allow streaming I think it would be hilarious as it'll most likely be one or two servers max. Will their be complaints of stream sniping from the streamers?

This is the book cover design for my DayZ novel, which is being the crowd funded and the campaign finishes in three days. If anyone is interested in some great weekend reading there's a 120 page sample and all the contribution perks details you at the Indiegogo website. http://www.indiegogo.com/DayZNovel Thanks to everyone that's contributed already.

Wow Festrix high praise indeed - and to be compared to the master as well. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the read. The Stand is one of my favorite books and in many ways Act 1 of Survivors And Bandits is very similar to it. There's lots of introducing of characters, intersection of story lines, setting up for major plot points. Can't wait to show you Act 2 and 3 - the story really gets brutal and intense.

Sometimes the first murder can be a revenge kill. In this interview Liam and Lawless tell of how a trip to the NWAF escalated into murder pretty fast.

Yeah all eBook formats will be supported. I actually have the final draft on my Kindle now but if you go to the Indiegogo link in my signature or the first point you can download the 120 page sample and see what out it looks like on your Kindle.

All fun and games 5HIFT and it did give me an awesome death, I'm guessing because of the lag. You note that I did have a gun pointed right at you and didn't pull the trigger, sure it was only a Makrov but a Headshot would have killed you. As for not knowing who I did yell out multiple time not to fire to the point that Nicky types in direct to "shut up." Lets call it was it was - a straight up executio - a very funny but very cruel one.

Yes I have some crazy fans. Many thanks goes to WiseGuy from my YouTube channel who made this awesome Cherno Journo soundboard made from sound bites from my videos and with me giving him some recordings. If anyone uses this in game then they must record and post the videos here. It's a flash file at just under 2MB which is currently hosted on my dropbox. The link below will get you there http://bit.ly/QwV7fj

Hunks. The most polite and professional kidnappers I've had so far.

Pendragon. That was definitely your own paranoia on that one. I still maintain that I wasn't trying to get you and I don't know who those other players were at the church. Oh well.

I took that video down as it had the wrong effect so sorry about that. I've retired from doing any new interviews. I did the video initially because some people felt that my small modicum of fame went to my head when I refused them an interview. Rather than explain over and over again that I was too busy, with the DayZ novel and my own paid writing to do any further interviews I thought I'd put the video up and just point people towards it. And from that point on I've refused all interview requests, including some from big name YouTubers, to focus on the novel and completing the ones in the can. I currently have 27 recorded interviews. & of which will definitely go up, the next one with Derpington Steele, and the rest to be reviewed and determined. Most likely another five. That will take me well into standalone territory.

Surely you all must be aware of this by now but in case you’ve been living under a rock, or the maybe Quarry above Solnichniy, we are holding another Cherno Journo Twitch.tv stream kidnapping event. Here is the launch trailer with some quick backstory on how I ended up stranded in Chernarus Launch trailer Also here is the playlist from event number 2 (2h 15m) Although quite long it’s action packed and will gives you some great insights into how these events run.The Stream Kidnaping event works like this. I will stream myself on the server live for 8 hours at http://www.twitch.tv/cherno_journo - During this time I will spawn in at the coast and broadcast my position until I am kidnapped or the bodyguards meet up with me and move me. If you want to kidnap me just fire a weapon over my head or nearby and I will comply with all orders. I need you to fire a weapon to prove you have ammunition – you don’t need to hit me you just need to shoot near me. No shot - no compliance - simple. Once I’m kidnapped do what you want to me – except kill me – killing is bad. We have a special event server set up this time which will have death messages showing who killed me – you kill me on purpose and you be instantly kicked and banned from the server and therefore the rest of the event – so watch that fire. You can take me anywhere, break my legs, disarm me or barricade me into a building. I won’t ALT-F4 the whole time. The only thing is you can’t do it put me in a vehicle or boat or take me away from the kidnap zone – see the attached pdf rules and map for details of the kidnap zone. Kidnap Event Rules The catch is I’ll have bodyguards and like the President that will defend me to death. And once you have me they will still be able to watch the stream and set up a rescue attempt – I hope. The stream never stops and I’ll be broadcasting my location over side chat every 10 minutes once I’m kidnapped. The rules document has all the details - these rules are designed to keep the game sporting and fair but still allow people the freedom that DayZ provides. For the sake of expediency I’d ask that all kidnappers place a [K] in front of their name for the event and likewise if bodyguards can use a . If clans want to keep their Clan tags they can but they must identify on side which role the clan is playing. You can use the tags to lie, ie put a but really want to be a kidnapper. The bmrf TeamSpeak will have channels available for both bodyguards and kidnappers so I encourage you to use it to work together. You have a week to download it and get it ready so no tears if a bodyguard shoots you because you're not in TeamSpeak. If you don't have a mic you can still use TeamSpeak to listen in and communicate via direct text in game. The event only server, known as BMRF #5 – event server will go up Monday and will be a fresh hive. Nothing you do on that server affects other bmrf servers or public servers. All vehicles will be in their original spawn so get cracking and gear up. After the event the server will shut down and the database be wiped so there’s no need to get attached to your gear or hoard all the vehicles. So onto the important details. Server: Billy Mays Remembrance Foundation Server 5 – Special Event Only Server. Time: Sunday 18th of November at 9:30pm UTC Follow the link to see what time it is in your part of the world. Duration: 8 hours from start (with server restarts every 2 – 4 hours depending on need)

I just uploaded 2 1//2 hours of videos content this week and have another interview going up on Friday. I wouldn't call that not making videos anymore I don't know where you got that idea from. Depending on the reporter's article I don't think my play style may be relevant to his article. He may want more "regular" players for a more common experience to the game, in statistical terms the way I play would be an outlier rather than the norm.

Heeeellllooooo Survivors, For those of you who missed the mammoth 8 hour stream here is the highlights video featuring all that great DayZ stuff including paranoia, betrayal, and lots of deaths. And the entire playlist is here. We're gearing up for a new event. If you want to be a part of it look out for the thread or sub to the YouTube channel so you don't miss the announcement video. Any feedback is appreciated.

Wabbit thanks for the feedback unfortunately there's not much I can do about my voice. Most other players speaking are using direct chat and the volume can be a bit low when compared to my microphone being picked up by FRAPS. I'll try tweaking the mic input settings some more.

We're setting up a custom server for the next event and the admins did look at adjusting players humanity so that Kidnappers were bandits, bodyguards were hero skinned. We decided against it because part of the fun, and paranoia, is not know what side someone is when they approach or if you see them in the distance. There are lots of great moments in the playlist where the bodyguards are betrayed by an infiltrator that would be lost if team distinctions were so clear. Glad you enjoyed it.

So due to the popularity of the Stream kidnapping event last time we’ve decided to run it again. For those of you who missed it last time here’s a chance to be a part of the fun and frivolity this time around. You can watch the highlights of the previous kidnap event for an overview here The Stream Kidnaping event works like this. I will stream my feed on a server live for 5 hours at http://www.twitch.tv/cherno_journo - During this time I will spawn in at Cherno and I’ll stay in Cherno until I am kidnapped or the bodyguards meet up with me and move me. If you want to kidnap me just fire a weapon over my head or nearby and I will comply with all orders. I need you to fire a weapon to prove you have ammunition – you don’t need to hit me you just need to shoot near me. No shot - no compliance - simple. Once I’m kidnapped do what you want to me – except kill me – killing is bad and all that happens is I respawn far away from you. You can take me anywhere, break my legs, disarm me or barricade me into a building. I won’t ALT-F4 the whole time. The only thing is you can’t do it put me in a vehicle or boat or take me away from the kidnap zone – see the attached pdf rules and map for details of the kidnap zone. Kidnap Event Rules The catch is I’ll have bodyguards and like the President that will defend me to death. And once you have me they will still be able to watch the stream and set up a rescue attempt – I hope. The stream never stops and I’ll be broadcasting my location over side chat every 10 minutes once I’m kidnapped. There are a few rules outlined in the Rules PDF Document For the sake of expediency I’d ask that all kidnappers place a [K] in front of their name for the event and likewise if bodyguards can use a . As last time the bodyguards had no way of communicating with each other the bmrf admins will set up a teamspeak channel that is password protected for the bodyguards. I won’t be on it but you can all communicate with each other using that channel. To obtain the password you must have a in front of your in game name and will need to PM one of the mods of the twitch.tv stream either before or during the event. The teamspeak details are on the BMRF forums If kidnappers want a channel set up they can but we haven’t done this from the outset as last time there were two distinct kidnap teams working against each other to nab me. There's some time for you to log in and gear up before the event. I’d encourage teams or clans to gear up and pick a side, either is a lot of fun and it’ll make a welcome change from battles at NWAF. So onto the important details. Server: Billy Mays Remembrance Foundation. This is a whitelisted private hive so you’ll need to sign up here http://bmrf.me/ to be whitelisted. Once you make a forum account whitelisting is automatic so you can join even if the event is in progress. They have 3 servers and I’ll announce which one on the stream. The servers all share a hive so it doesn’t matter which one you pick to gear up on but there is a 10 minute timer on server changes to discourage ghosting. Time: Sunday 4th of November at 10pm UTC Follow the link to see what time it is in your part of the world. Duration: 4 hours from start
