chernojourno 226 Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) For those of you who aren’t aware this is here is the website www.extralife.org where basically gamers play/stream for 24 hours while raising money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Since I ‘m unable to do 24 hours I am helping out by joining TheThintanker’s stream for 3 hours and holding my kidnapping event.So the idea is very simple but filled with all that great DayZ tension.I will stream my feed on a server live for 4 hours 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. 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 as last time a guy with no ammo tried to kidnap 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, barricade me into a building. I won’t ALT-F4 the whole time. The only thing is you can’t take me any further north than the line from Zelenogorsk to Solnichniy to give the other side a chance to retrieve me.The catch is I’ll have bodyguards and like the President they 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.1) I may be armed but as part of the ethics of the Chernarus Free Press I will never fire upon another player. So if you are a kidnapper you have nothing to fear from me killing you.2) I will only comply with any kidnapper’s orders once there are no bodyguards around. You need to kill or incapacitate them first before I will comply. I will never follow an order to kill another player or myself but other than that it’s fair game so be creative.3) Once I’m kidnapped I will make attempts to escape if there is no gun pointed at me. Again I won’t shoot any kidnappers but I will try to run away, jump out of cars, etc. You’ll need to find some way of restraining me, i.e. break my legs or barbed wire me into a corner. But if I’m escaping I won’t stop because I’m ordered to. You’ll need to break my legs to stop me at that point, so I hope you’re a good shot. If you have a gun pointed at me I won’t run so it’s best to have a guard always on me. But that’s all the rules. Kidnappers can infiltrate the bodyguards and take them down one at a time if they wish – Lava did this last time and it was a great reveal. I’ll only communicate in direct chat but you’re welcome to use any TS to speak with each other. I’d encourage any well organised squads to teams to join up and have fun in either role. There some time for you to log in and gear up before the event. And any other streamers it would be great to see it from your perspective as well.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 whitelisiting 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: Saturday, 20 October 2012 at 21:00:00 UTC. Follow the link to see what time it is in your part of the world.Duration:4 hoursTo Donate: As I’m not playing the full 24 hours I’m not a registered participant so if you’d like to donate please use Kyle Meeks donation link Kyle Meeks Extra Life Donate Link If your US based the donations are Tax Deductible.Let’s have a great time and raise some funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.Mods if this is the wrong spot please feel free to move it.

chernojourno 226 Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Anyone can join - no special hazing required. Just make sure you are white listed on Billy Mays, gear up and get ready for the event. I'll ask all bodyguards to announce they are on protection detail as they approach but it'll get hectic once there are a couple guards around. This was how Lava infiltrated us last time so you'll need to be on your toes. Edited October 19, 2012 by Cherno Journo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chernojourno 226 Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks Hetstaine.And can I expect to see you holding a M16 with cool black shades on making a last stand at the pub at Cherno as the kidnappers pour in to nab me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steak and Potatoes 13480 Posted October 19, 2012 I'm down for a rescue mission post your whereabouts via PM when you've been captured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chernojourno 226 Posted October 19, 2012 No need for PM as I'll be screaming out for help on the steam anytime I'm captured. Also I'm spawning with a GPS so anytime I'm captured I'll be broadcasting coordinates every 10 minutes on side chat.Should be lots of back and forth between both factions. I'll have a custom skin for the game so hopefully friendly fire is kept to a minimum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smore98 225 Posted October 20, 2012 Excuse me, but it seems that the meet-up calls for attention.I am unfortunately not going to be able to participate in this event.(You really wouldn't want me though. Chances are I will accidently shoot you in the head by accident faster than you say "GOD DAMMNIT, SMORE.") 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chernojourno 226 Posted October 20, 2012 It would be hilarious if I ended up getting shot by the bodyguards in a friendly fire incident.For those who are keen but not so great at the ARMA2 shooting mechanics, like myself, there's still plenty of roles for spotters and sentries etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chernojourno 226 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Reminder Bump. Starts in 1 and 1/2 hours time Edited October 20, 2012 by Cherno Journo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chernojourno 226 Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) I've now uploaded the stream kidnapping video to my YouTube. There was fours hours of footage that I've condensed down to 1 hours in four parts.The entire playlist is here and I've embedded part 3 which has the most action including two successful escapes.Thanks to all that were involved I'll be announcing another event soon with a weeks notice so that all players have time to gear up and prepare.
