Operation Nurture Bambi

[extinctsquirrel 24]

Operation Nurture Bambi.

This operation is explained in a few steps;

- Play on a regular server

- Find one of them bambi's scurrying around on the shore

- Make sure they just started playing

- Explain them the controls,physics of the game

- Teach a bambi to fend for himself so he can live longer

I've been playing months, over which I've learned a lot of the game mechanics, good places to go to, the community and movement.

Experiencing so much has helped myself become an experienced player and I feel like I should give something to the community, a community that has helped make this mod grow big.

In this case, for the new players, so they may stay longer and hopefully in their turn give something back.

I will start my search for such a bambi starting today and looking to give him/her a jumpstart on his/her adventure, doing so with a different player each day for an ongoing two weeks (giving I'm available each evening)

Hoping that more people feel this way and are willing to join the operation.

I used to take new players on trial runs through some towns and let them scavenge and learn how to survive while I made sure they wouldn't experience a most unfortunate death. Sadly, I've been doing that less since bandit attention has increased on the coast.

Banditry is merely an obstacle that one has to overcome.

Think of them as thiefs in real life, there are ways to protect yourself against them/prevent it.

Keep your wits about you and you'll end up alive.

Day 1 didn't go so fruitfull, heck.. It didn't even start..

Ended up having no time what so ever to start the operation on my side.

Will try to update every night to get some awareness out there for other people to see this.

If you find a Bambi on the coast (more than likely tbh), first thing you need to teach them is how to avoid 50 cal sniper bullets :)

[extinctsquirrel 24]

Depending on the player population that would be my first thing to tell'm, that and basic enemy fire.

Little update from Day 2;

Was not able to find a civilian clothing, seeing as I like to be in my hero outfit when I teach them and run around in the city.

First I'd like to find/trade one before this can really kickoff from my side.

Hopefully Day 3 will be more productive.

Update for Day 2;

Nothing happened again.. time hasn't been on my side, I thought it was when I posted this thread though.

This weekend will surely be more plentifull of time.

Update for Day 3;

Finally got into my Hero skin again.

Turns out no one was able to give me a civilian clothing and I didn't really feel like suiciding..

The game, however, decided to give me a hand killing me upon logging in...

Spawned in the debug plains and relogged, ended up on the beach, this has happened to me before so I was aware of what was going happen.

Seeing as I had no gear what so ever I decided to ask some zombols kindly to kill me and so they did.

After getting into my Hero skin again I was now upon the quest of retrieving my gear, which I did after some exercise across the map.

Let the operation commence (tomorrow)

Day 4&5:

Found a bambi that had just started.

I explained him the controls, the concept of the game, walked him through elektro and helped him to gear up to the best elektro had to offer at that time.

Walked with him to stary and then to the NW airfield, all went without trouble.

It took a good 2, 2.5hours so it wasn't rushed but there's a thing to DayZ..

I'd almost say you need to experience the life of a survivor/bandit for yourself.. It can hardly be taught in a relative timespan of 5h~.

I'm going to have to say that I won't be looking for any bambi's on the coast but I'm willing to answer any question that anyone has that's dayz related.
