MarcOwaR 29 Posted January 29, 2014 Can't wait till they fix matches in this game so I can hold up Franchi, handcuff him and watch his reaction when I set his bag of books on fire :D 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ziggykong 33 Posted January 29, 2014 If I happened to kill Franchi on sight, upon looting him I would realize that I just killed the worlds only unicorn. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted January 29, 2014 Very nice. I was thinking of doing something similar, distributing books at the coast. But then I realised that books would probably be the last thing a newspawn with no inventory space would be interested in. When the server restarts gets removed, I am thinking of setting up a bookshop in one of the abandonded stores in a high population city. If he wants to carry out his occupation with less risk, though, he should wear less camo and definitely not sport a gas mask. Camo symbolises high level of threat as well as good loot in the eyes of most other armed players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meshcarver 154 Posted January 29, 2014 This is fantastic- a level headed nice guy in the midst of so much chaos and entropy, valiantly striving to bring back education and civilisation to the remnants of humanity via the written word..!I'm almost tempted to model an improvised wood and rope bookshelf style backpack solely for this guy to wear his passion for all to see..! ;)Beans..!!! Beans galore...!!! :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Franchi (DayZ) 146 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Can't wait till they fix matches in this game so I can hold up Franchi, handcuff him and watch his reaction when I set his bag of books on fire :DNot War and Peace! Anything but War and Peace! If he wants to carry out his occupation with less risk, though, he should wear less camo and definitely not sport a gas mask. Camo symbolises high level of threat as well as good loot in the eyes of most other armed players.The camo has served me very well, I spend a lot of time in the treeline before visiting any city, I rarely go into them if I believe someone else is there. I only initiate contact with other players when I am confident I have the upper hand and that I can help the person in question. I am using gas masks atm becasue since the last patch the servers I have decent ping to tend to be night time when I can play. I shudder to think how far away my bare face is visible to someone with their gama cranked up. If the apocalyspe do happen, guy like him are invualable.You have no idea how true that is. I grew up on a farm, so I know how to ride, shoot, hunt, raise crops and livestock, then went to college to become a gunsmith. I am great with anything mechanical. I also like to read books! Yes IRL I am also a book hoarder. While I do love the classics and scifi/fantasy books I also like reading technical books, the kind of books that teach you how to turn the alternator out of a car, a bunch of car batteries, and a couple of 50 gallon drums into a wind turbine, or the Us Army Survival Manual among others. My hobbies include video games, blacksmithing, welding, knife/axe collecting and shooting. Problem is in a real world apocalypse I would never be as nice as I am in game, in the real world you only get one life! That is not to say I would be a bandit, but I sure wouldn't be giving books, food and guns out like I do in game! I guess Franchi is bulletproof now. :PIt would be awesome if they implemented penetration based on the gear you are carrying! Teddy Roosevelt was saved from an assassins 38 colt from 5 feet by a mere 50 page speech!

knoCC (DayZ) 211 Posted January 30, 2014 Seeing a player like this is pretty cool. Watching a player like this get murdered and then hearing his killer going apeshit on the mic after searching him would be equally cool... For some strange reason I want to skin Franchi and sit on Sniper Hill overlooking Balota with a good book in one hand and Franchi's face in the other...

ChiefMasterKush 321 Posted January 30, 2014 When I first saw a book in the SA I knew libraries would open on some servers. At the moment there is no way to store gear so it seems you just have to fill every slot in your inventory with books. Good stuff and fun to see it in action. I guess you're glad you didn't KoS this guy huh? :blink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
