my friend the admin

[banjo (DayZ) 55]

I was playing on a server last week when I ran into another player in balota. He seemed very nice and asked me how I was doing and if I needed anything.

I thought about it and then said I wouldn't mind a better gun and maybe a car.

 

We both laughed and he told me to follow him to his camp in the west, which I did and we talked about dayz and the bandit problem. When we arrived at his camp I couldn't believe my eyes, there were cars and bikes and helicopters and about 20 tents all surrounded by sand bags and barbed wire, I told him it is the best camp I have ever seen and he said yes, it is a good one isn't it.

 

He took me round the tents and explained how they were all organised into guns, ammunition, medical supplies and all the other things a player needs to survive, he said I could take whatever I wanted but I was not allowed to take a helicopter, again we both laughed.

 

I took a DMR and 12 magazines a ghillie suit, some NVG's some morphine and a toolkit, then I chose a yellow car because it reminded me of my girlfriends car but he got a bit angry and said I was stupid for choosing the worst car. he suggested I take the ural, I didn't want to fall out about it so I took it and said thankyou and drove away towards starry where I was hoping to find some bandits to kill with my new DMR.

cool unless he spawned it in, although its good he was benefiting the community.

Seems more like someone who got that gear illegally, friend.

 

Also, a DMR doesn't need 12 magazines!

Oh ok.

The thing is, how often do you see a base like that on official servers?

He was either a pro, admin, or a hacker. I would guess pro or admin, since hackers usually bandit with their spawned loot. I wish people like that played on servers with me, but EVERYONE bandits.

I don't think a pro would be niave enough to leave a sht load of gear in one place like that.

 

The OP said he had it all in tents so its not like the gear was secure.

 

A lot could depend on what Mod it was and etc. Was it Epoch? Was it regular DayZ with massive loot and 1000 vehicles? Etc.

it was on dayz vanilla, I need to check dayz commander to find out which server but it was a US server on the main hive.

He told me that making camps was what he enjoyed doing and once he finished making them he fills them with gear and then goes to the coast to help noobs amd fresh spawns, he said once the camp is attacked he wipes the server and starts again in a new location.

If that was an admin, he sounds like a psychopathic potential serial killer admin.  You don't see a lot of those.  I'd suggest trying another server where you're not subject to someone's personality/mood swings. ;)

when he got angry after I chose the yellow car I did feel afraid, he threatened to shoot me and ban me if I didn't take a ural

I just thought he was joking around but looking back he was very very very angry which seems strange now.

Thats especially fishy for a Vanilla server, especially if he says hes doing it solo. And he "wipes" the server if his camp is attacked.

 

Its not totally impossible tho.

 

But admin abuse cant be ruled out. I can have a couple of cars and tents in two or three different locations and log in the next day and its all gone. So considering how long it takes to build a base like you described and the extremely high chance of someone running into even a lone tent, the chances of him building a base to that size without having to "wipe" the server would be so slim. Especially if he does this solo.

 

And once again I want to stress its not impossible, just very hard and unlikely. And hes says he does this all the time?

 

If he has several teammates he plays with regularly it makes it more reasonable

If he threatened to ban you over a car you wanted to drive then that tells me all I need to know as that is admin abuse right there.

 

PM the dudes name, I pay mostly US Vanilla, I will probably recognize the name.
