Buddies' Invitation (Help Us Save the World!)

[person915 345]

Do you like the world?

Want to save it?

Maybe just live on it so you don't really like it but would like to save it so you and whoever you care about can go on living your lives because without a world you would thus be unable do carry out functions in which to live and therefore would be counter-constructive?

Well then you're at the right place.

This thread, right here, is dedicated to the Balota Buddies server group. You might be asking, right now, what does planetary endangerment have to do with Balota Buddies? Well, stop asking useless questions, and just TRUST ME.

What is a community without trust?

Moving on.

---------

I believe that this community would be more populated if people had a push. So here it is; the push.

Think of this thread as not mine, but the whole forums'. (Awwwwww :wub:)

While being titled "Hell on Earth", Balota Buddies HQ is housed on the 13th Floor of Terror Tower in Disney World, Orlando, FL. Unfortunately, since power is not an option in such a place, BB engines that are used to run our equipment is fueled by the lost hopes and dreams of children who are unfortunate enough to wander that far off the ride. And you know kids, they're dreamers!

Needless to say, we get a lot of power, though the problem is that all unused power from the dreams is squandered, so we're unable to sell the power back to the power company. This means we still need donations for our server to run. Our community though, is just too lazy to push you to donate, so don't worry, you won't be locked in a dark room in Mexico while beaten with a pillowcase full of onions (they keep us safe) and that security, I think, is what keeps our members confident, and encourages the ones who can financially contribute to do so.

The extents of our terror and controlled locations stretches from the US (United States) to EU (Europe, primarily UK), and AU (Australia). The people who live in these lands are happy and are compulsive liars; if they tell you any different they are trying to gain sympathy and this should be reported to either Inception., Star, Delta, or Derpy_Hooves to be dealt with. We thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe.

Servers are well run, usually manned by 1 or 2 admins at a time, depending on server pop. If not, you can count on the snitche- I mean the wonderful people who help clean out the trash- to report to admins and moderators.

It leads to a very consistent world with the player base, as people develop habits such as medivacs or kill teams, and things can go as far as you can gather intel of personnel and even plot against them! You know, if you're a creepy person and you can manage to find a pair of binocs.... Though it's mostly between habits when the real action happens, and in that you'll prove yourself. Interesting about the consistency, too, there's often been times where a vehicle I find and lose one day will appear again in my possession, a few days later! It's always interesting, I'll give you that.

Take your pick and team up, as this section of the Inferno has a Wasteland server, complete with server-side spawning (might still be in-development, but otherwise there), which runs very clean and fast. BB owns its own Factions server- a modded version of DayZ to increase playing as a group. Features such as custom faction skins and GUID-activated gates is on the AU Factions server. If you're a dirty American, don't worry, you fat, filthy pig! BB is working on getting a Factions server active for US!

Cold winds have been known to sweep through occasionally, and the all too often scream of a player getting his/her guts ripped out by a bloodsucker. Namalsk is an option here, as well.

Scripts are being worked on every day to enhance the DayZ experience, such as refuel scripts and taking the good car parts off of vehicles! There's a supermarket in Kamenka that is full of anti-depressants (to avoid the high suicide rate of that area), and there are scattered medical camps in remote locations. NEAF is now a hotspot with a total of -more than NWAF- barracks and is frequented by snipers. I'm not going to spoil it, just know that you'll learn quick what to do.

Team up with regulars, make some friends, and have an adventure! Develop the world around you and take advantage of the consistency of the server. Safe zones, strongholds, and etc are all an option if you have the manpower and the know-how. I challenge you to change the face of this place! Make it ugly! Right now, all we have on are cute puppy faces asking you to join:

...oh, and... don't mind that last one... that's just Steak (& Potatoes)....

Also, before I just ask you to do some random thing that you have no commitment of actually doing, let me start off by showing to you a short list of what everyone loves: rules.

Rule #1- The cake is a lie.

Rule #2- We don't talk about Rule #1.

Rule #3- We don't talk about Rule #2.

Rule #4- Respect, love, and hugs is our motto!

Rule #5- Use common sense.

Rule #6- The world is flat (so we may all be on the same 'level').

Rule #7-

More on how things work, Balota Buddies has a system to make sure everyone is doing the right thing as they're doing it. Being in the TeamSpeak (ts.balotabuddies.net) is essential when playing on BB servers. Don't worry, if you like another TS, you can open BB in another tab or window and head over to the AFK channel while you talk on the other TS. Be sure to answer if someone needs you, though!

Being on TS assures that players can be appropriately handled. Also, it ensures that, since one of the TS rules is that anyone in your channel is henceforth removed from your rampage of banditry and destruction (otherwise known as you can't PK your channel buddies), players have a chance to get into a safe zone from you. Or talk some sense into you. Etc etc.

Side chat is enabled, but voice is not (allowed), and side chat has a sort of functionality replicating a bug zapper. It looks pretty, and you get closer, and all the noobs make funny noises as they fry at your feet. You'll see what I mean eventually.

And so, if I've managed to keep you interested thus far I have done my job, and there is still more to be done, so I will continue to pursue in your interests!

The purpose of this thread and the relevance of its placement is regarding the fact that I will not create a very long run-on sentence explaining what you must do while I write it out in my head as the mind-narrator progressively grows faster in speech with less and less air- *gasp* in which the purpose of this sentence is to inform you that since people need a kickstart to get into something, this thread introduces somewhere to hub, where new players can come into BB and not feel alone, and start amazing groups, whether it's RP, objective-based, or just fooling around! Or maybe you want to be a lone wolf and be registered as such? You can now have that title, if you just reply to this thread and follow whitelisting instructions.

What I'll be doing is anyone who shows interest in this can PM me with their group or lone wolf "application". All applications will be accepted. They must include a wild, silly, wacky, or otherwise outrageous -relevance to topic is optional- name that is fun to say, a bio and/or list of objectives you have for BB included. A member list can be set up if you so wish, and to start off, I'll be asking the gracious members of BB who have a group to make their own bios and such and posting them here for you all to see! Pre-existing BB groups will be marked with a [bB] to see who has how much of a foothold in the wasteland.

If you're STILL not convinced, then take a gander over to all the links I have to track down from the BB members of their wonderful videos displaying their wonderful personality and chemistry, as well as just what goes on in these servers. And if that isn't enough, BB is always looking for talent that can contribute, and will be sure to use resources you give them (if actually DO have the 'talent', not like the "mom-posted-your-stick-figure-drawing-on-the-fridge, good job" kind of talent). So make stuff for us!

Anyway, the links will be here soon, I'll put down some of the ones I know without the permission of the authors, now....

We have our own meme's! (best to look at these once you've been in for a week or so)

-a few words from him:

I am Bill Nye the Science Guy.

I fly choppers at an expert level and kill people for the greater good of science.

THIS!

Balota Buddies foar lyf!

[AnarchyBrownies 1383]

It wasn't an option for me to start playing DayZ again because of all the hacking on public servers. Luckily, a friend told me about Balota Buddies. I got whitelisted and I finally can play DayZ with confidence that I'm not going to be killed by a hacker! So Balota Buddies saved my DayZ mod experience and I've already met a ton of cool people! I'm happy to get on here and encourage others to join! Fantastic community, thanks guys :)

I read this and felt like you were saying people were slandering BB?

and you needed donations?

what?

Im very tired

and still searching for diddums (where the fuck did he go)

anyways

Uh Yay goo BB +1 we are the best community around

or something like that

[bigdogsco 143]

This is where I play. There's so much going on here, why would you go anywhere else?

The two biggest game changers are JSRS and the increased view distance. JSRS massively improves the vanilla sounds. You can hear gunfire from kilometres away. Suddenly the map doesn't feel so big and empty! Plus with the view distance going out to 2000m (weather dependent) there's no more running away into the fog. You have to earn the right to keep your life!

Of course you have the normal benefits of a whitelisted private hive. No hackers, no ghosters, no server hopping loot farmers. Combat logging is policed firmly. Custom antihack is in place and works well.

There's more but I'll let others fill in so in don't come across like a fanboy!

OK all. US46 has had whitelisting removed to give you all a chance to experience the quality of the server. Be warned!  This place is not for the faint hearted. You will be hunted. Fancy your chances?  Bring it!

OK all. US46 has had whitelisting removed to give you all a chance to experience the quality of the server. Be warned! You will not survive, and your heart will give out. We will hunt you. You have no chance. Bring me your gear.
