The 8th Infantry Division's Survival GameZ

[unkillable94 149]

Hello, I am Col Brown and I am the leader of the small military structured clan known as DayZ's 8th Infantry Division. I would like to welcome you to the more permanent topic concerning our weekly Survival GameZ events. Before we get started, let me tell you a bit about what these GameZ are and where we hope to take them.

The Survival GameZ we are talking about here are not related to nor are we affiliated with the larger, more well known events of a similar name. This was an idea I hatched at 4am one morning as a way to gain publicity for our clan and private hive, but after the first event on February 16th, I knew it could be so much more. The first event was fubar at first, I was sick recently and slept in, and then getting everyone organized was hectic to say the least. We ended up starting two hours late, but in the end for a first event it went pretty well and left all parties with a good feeling to my knowledge, or most at least. These games consist of multiple game types rotating every week. I would love to see this event really take off after these rough first few weeks, we have already been reached out to by well-known DayZ organizations which we are very grateful for. In the future my ultimate goal would be that we could get well-known streamers and YouTubers such as FrankieonPCin1080P, JackFrags, PsiSyndicate, or others involved, but instead of making the games exclusive to these DayZ celebrities actually allow regular players to play with them. We will also be opening up for donations if there is good sentiment towards it so that in the future once we stabilize the GameZ we would be able to offer cash prizes to groups who win.

A few final things, we would like to give thanks to a few groups who have helped us out:

-LADZ [CMC], Madsnake [MsN], Reddit Rescue Force Special Task Force [sTF], DayZ 10000 [DayZ10k], and Exertion [e] for bearing with us through the multiple hiccups of the first event.

-Reddit Rescue Force for fielding a team for the first event and reaching out to us with some really awesome offers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, the confirmed GameZ in the rotation are:

King of the Hill (KoTH)

-Teams start out on the coast with the objective to capture and hold an objective for a certain time.

FAQ:

Q: Can I stream?

A: Absolutely, we welcome streamers with open arms. Just be aware that we can not prevent stream sniping nor can we compensate you if it happens, but we will do everything in our power to create a safe and secure streaming environment.

Q: Can we use our own communication software?

A: Unfortunately, no. We require everyone to use our TeamSpeak server to prevent any kind of cheating. We provide each team their own private room and we are always available in a public channel if you have any questions.

Q: Can we have more than one team from our group?

A: No, each group may have only one team per Game.

Q: Will there be video of the event?

A: Yes, in addition to streams from players I will be streaming live coverage at twitch.tv/8th_Infantry_DayZ as well as uploading a highlights reel the following day to our YouTube channel.

Q: I died. Can I stay and watch?

A: No, but you are more than welcome to join us in a public TS room or join us on one of the live streams.

March 2 - Hostage Rescue: 8Inf members will be in a convoy escorting a vehicle with ,yself, the "hostage" around Chernarus. The teams must work together to gear up, assault the convoy and rescue the hostages or split up and go their own way, whatever they think will work. Whoever manages to survive and rescue the hostage will then make their way to one of the airfields to a waiting biplane which they must load the hostage into and takeoff in, flying to an altitude of 300 meters. Only one team will win, so once the hostage is rescued be ready to turn on or be turned on by your former allies.

Few questions as usual :P Will we be doing the random spawn again or back to starting at the same place? Also when you say one of the airfields will we know which one or is it now either one?

We're going to think about that one, on one hand it was nice to spawn randomly because we could keep the server locked until we start to prevent cheating, but on the other people who spawn in cherno/elektro would have advantages over those in kamenka, krutoy cap, etc

I think we will keep the biplane a mystery, making you guys split up to check both airfields might be more interesting :P

[Panics (DayZ) 1]

Assuming its not just us :P

[unkillable94 149]

Yeah this week was a bit rough, I'm in the middle of an unexpected move and nobody other than you found the new topic, going to advertise more and try again next week to get things back on track.

[Panics (DayZ) 1]

Yea hopefully next week can get something going, best to get the new thread up ASAP :) GL with the move

Just let us know when the next scheduled event is and we would be more than happy to do it again!

[Panics (DayZ) 1]

^ We must regain our title!

[unkillable94 149]

I might try to keep this thread going and just edit it every week so people can find it. Nothing this week unfortunately, my wonderful hard drive is having memory issues and has been in and out of the shop all week, next week we will get it back up for sure.

[Panics (DayZ) 1]

Thanks :) Keep us posted, I know [MsN] is super keen to have another crack
