Diaries In DayZ SA, How Will They Work?

[Devon206 (DayZ) 77]

Hey Guys! Diaries, Rocket said he did want a diary system in DayZ Standalone. Now, I wonder how they will be, of course you could write in them, but maybe some automatic updates such as how you died, or even who you killed. I know this might be a bad idea, But I think it will really tell the story of the player. Anyways how do you think the diaries will turn out? Thanks.

I will most likely just leave notes with the following;

I would really like that, go prone in some foliage and take a minute to write in it. I'd put some jokes in there as well.

Day 20: I Think I'm going crazy, I'm being followed by this one zombie but he won't attack me, he has sock puppets on his hands and sounds like he's trying to speak in two different voices. JK Go fuck yourself you fucking skip weasel bandit and get AIDs.

On a more serious note I would like to see it as a form of stat tracker (number and types of kills, headshots, ect, food eaten, meds used, list of people killed ((make it so you'd have to actually study the body of the person you killed to get the name)) as well as an ingame notepad for players. In the theme of minecraft, add something so that when crafting and you succeed, you automatically jot down the 'recipe'. You could copy/rip out pages of your diary and give them to others to read/copy into their diary, or just notes on the ground. Could be a way to transfer recipes ingame without resorting to an online guide. Say a player kills you and gets to (Study) your body, reads your journal he now has whatever information you wrote down as well as a copy of the recipies you discovered.

Dear diary, to musty or not to musty that is the question.

Dear diary,

I found a super awesome camp site at [coordinates]. I put all my great stuff there. If you find this, do not take my stuff! On a side note, I really hate hiding in bushes so I decided to never do it.

Most of them will probably be poop journals, where they did it and who they did it on.

Day 7, pooped on a dead survivor today... again. It was glorious.
