I'm announcing that the trial run on Saturday is CANCELLED due to none of us being available (Arma has stopped working properly for me, trying to fix it), however the run for Sunday is still very much ON.

Keep your eyes open for more info regarding new server etc... Sorry to have to cancel the run just a few hours before it starts, but I'm going to use the time between then and now sorting out the flood of new applicants, and finding that new server.

If people want to organise unofficial gathering parties then that's fine by me, just know that the server we are choosing is being re-evaluated.

Damn, can't make it Sunday. I'll be very interested in how it turns out. Good luck.

I personally feel this would be an amazing addition to the game if implemented correctly. :)

I do suggest you have at the very least one Overwatch guard with a good sniper rifle (M107/AS50/DMR) watching the camp from a stealthy location at all times so that if any funny business goes on he can quickly take out the perpetrator.

Not to mention if the camp gets steamrolled by a group of bandits Overwatch can take them out while they're looting.

One of the points of the location' date=' is that it's quite difficult to get a raised position to overlook the area with a sniper rifle.

to be fair, he wasn't very far away at all. What he started doing was firing through the tree line from the hangers. That's where overwatch and patrols would be able to stop something like that. After the away team took a shot and missed he ran around and actually got closer to the camp.

When he was dealt with his location was right at the tree line between towers 3 - 4. Should have been able to be seen there. Though I think juicebox was in one of those towers, the other tower should have seen him.

[Herr Robert 28]

As a bandit player I would advise you to spread out your camps and vehicles over the map. When it comes to the camps, you should probably spread them over multiple servers aswell in the event of your "home" server going down, to minimize the risk. A single camp is too vulnerable to gamey elements such as server hoppers (someone could for instance serverhop there and throw a grenade to ruin your progress).

You should however have a few camps set up where the guards can re-arm with mostly common weapons such as Enfields, Winchesters, shotguns and pistols, incase they die and have to get into the fight quickly.

Additionally I would like to suggest trading being handled at least partly outside of the game. That way you could send escorts — with basic gear to minimize the risk of losing valuable group assets — to meet up with the players that wish to trade, and bring them to a secret location where there's several guards to make sure that there's no foul play. That way players would actually dare to trade, provided that you end up getting a good reputation, since they would not have to run into a bandit hotspot.

Let's not forget the zombies.. they caused us problems when we were heading out for the sniper. We need to deal with them better. How? Have one or two guys in the patrol just look out for zombies maybe or something..

Just my two cents.

Anyways, had a good time!

I just hope I'm on guard duty when it happens. :D Unless I'm killed by the very first shot before I'm even aware any hostiles are in the area, you can bet your ass i'll be taking at LEAST 4 of them with me. ;)

From what I saw/heard in my brother's Livestream/his gloating, two people who are in this group as guards are his friends on Steam, who intend to cause a lot of damage. To wait until the main assault, and then begin shooting at other guards. They obviously would be taking a fall, as is the plan, and then if FTC is defeated they will be given a share of what is taken from your corpses when they next respawn. It's kind of my fault, since I was the one who showed him this group out of pure elation. He's a jerk. So, just keep a lookout. (Of course, he's on this site too, and can see that I posted this if he looked in my recent posts. Heheheheh.) I'm pretty sure you guys are used to this kind of thing, though.

[ImaffoI 22]

Not sure if he is more interested in stalling his brother or warning you guys haha.

[Twogainz 1]

I would actually go here' date=' as a starting member of DayZ who never shoots first, this sounds like alot of fun :D

However, broadcasting all your info will lead a ton of bandits to lead an organized attack, just a word of warning :l.

[/quote']

haha tell me about it, out of like 20 people, i was the one who got sniped in the face hahaha, was alot of fun, i love rolling with these guys, getting that red car fixed was a nightmare, loads of screaming cuz of zombies chasing you in the night, screaming at my cousin to get the flashlight on the zombies so i could shoot em. loads of fun.

It's all good, betrayal has to be expected. Perhaps he was our 'accidental' grenadier during the first test run. lol

Yup haha Juicebox was his first shot, i didnt see shit, was looking around with my binocs, but i've never really been a good spotter or guard haha, i like the rush of looting towns.

"She." :P

A little of both! Actually' date=' a lot of the earlier! I take any chance I can to get him upset. :'D This would be perfect, since he seems very hyped about this impromptu raid. But it is fun being the good gal for once. Being a bandit gets boring so fast, you have no idea. Well, I did my good deed for the day. Now, time to go pry supplies from some unwary bandit's cold, hairy-knuckled hands.

Oh my god, I'm gonna ask him about that! x3 Probably not, he's a knuckle-dragger and coordinating crafty deceit is not his forte. But he has a lot of knuckle-draggers with him. A lot of stupid muscle to shoot at! :P Really, I'm gonna keep an ear to my wall when he attempts his raid, and wait until he starts screaming "HAX, HAX! I JUST SHOT YOU LIKE A MILLION TIMES." Usually an indicator for loss.

For a trial run it went pretty well' date=' all things considered. I went in expecting all of us to die, though with 16 people there's not too much of a chance of that.

Mostly we just gotta figure out communication, discipline, and security.

On the topic of the boat, that's a much longer term goal. Once we get the server sorted out (we're looking for something with at least nametags), we can proceed to figure out vehicles.

And imagine what it'd be like to walk into a warehouse with 16 guns pointed at you :D

I was thinking about renting a host for a DayZ server, if Freeside needs a server it would give me a good reason to purchase one :).

I have never hosted an Arma 2 server before, so I may need to learn the syntax of commands and configuration, but all should work out fine in the end.

But really I don't currently have a motive to rent a host and fear that the server would go to waste if it didn't have a good group of players on it, plus they are quite expensive.

Freeside sounds like an awesome idea that looks like it could really take off given the right environment and community to surround it. I would be happy to rent a host for Freeside to use. It should be quite awesome to see how things unfold for Freeside.

So anyways, just wanted to offer this to Freeside if its needed.

Good Luck :).

All right people, some information for you, todays run is still happening, however I have decided not to openly broadcast the time, server or new location, I have picked a number of people for this run and you will receive a PM and I will attempt contact you through steam shortly.

The reason I have picked specific people for this op, and not disclose the location and server publicly, is to allow us as a group to hone our skills and allow us to get a better idea on how to run the operation, this cannot be acheived if we have random people from the roster turn up and expect to be able to actively join in, especially without being on TS3.

If others wish to continue by Gathering etc, then note that Guard, Gatherer 1 and 2 on TS3 have had their passwords changed, Use General to coordinate if you like.

P.S On a slightly related note, I think I may be over-working myself, while going shopping this morning I:

-Parked my bike and felt like it was perhaps too exposed in the parking lot.

-Saw the tinned food section, saw what was effectively tins of Frank and Beans, I bought 4 and just ate one.

-Kept looking over my shoulder at people who got too close to my backpack and moved away in case they stole anything, even though at the time it was empty.

It's all true :(
