Erikp3 53 Posted February 6, 2014 So now that the pen and paper work together again I've finally thought of a good use for it. I'm going to use it to write a journal and keep the pages of it on me for as long as I can. That way if anyone does ever need to kill me they could see a bit of who I was or what I was doing. 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tooeasyy 5 Posted February 6, 2014 90% of the guys who kill you are probably very young and don't give 2 shits about the pen and paper that you have on you but care more for that "Sweet" mosin ammo 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't really gotten the impression the game is overrun with preteens teenagers and kids :/ edit: "preteens" sounds creepy Edited February 6, 2014 by DeatHTaX 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commanderfluffy 20 Posted February 6, 2014 Great Idea! Give like a little story as to where you been and what not. maybe even explain friendly people you seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torinx 36 Posted February 6, 2014 Great idea, I hope 'Ruined' paper is still legible. Would be a real shame otherwise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cj14 189 Posted February 6, 2014 I do this already, bad thing is it takes space and most of the player won't even care for the paper on you and just get your shit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raezion420 97 Posted February 6, 2014 You guys should pre-write your death rages so we don't have to hear you scream them when you die! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butter (DayZ) 1 Posted February 6, 2014 I have yet to find one server where a player has spoken to me before firing.so, I'll probably do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Crow_Whiskey 119 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) You guys should pre-write your death rages so we don't have to hear you scream them when you die!Hilarious! I'm looking forward to the warning letters, like "Elektro is my turf brah, you enter and you die" What they need to do is allow you to attach paper to a stick to make a sign. There's a distinct lack of communication across time in servers. Edited February 6, 2014 by Old_Crow_Whiskey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worst2first 71 Posted February 6, 2014 Hilarious!

There's a distinct lack of communication across time in servers. That would be great and so would being able to use spray paint to paint messages on walls, signs and roads. Until we get loot respawn implemented though everything will disappear every time the server restarts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until we get loot respawn implemented though everything will disappear every time the server restarts.Spray painting walls and stuff was already talked about a lot but Dean is worried about the billion cocks and bad words everywhere, which is exactly what would happen within minutes of them implementing it with the quality of most players here already :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazykage 1063 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Im going to find a pen and piece of paper, and write this message: TURN BACK NOW! Then leave it in the middle of the road on the coast. Then ill go down the road a ways and wait.... at least they wont be able to say they weren't warned... Edited February 6, 2014 by Crazykage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazywolf5150 17 Posted February 6, 2014 What's your idea of very young? I haven't really gotten the impression the game is overrun with preteens teenagers and kids :/ edit: "preteens" sounds creepy I've actually met quite a few squeakers in the game and not everyone has a mic, so I'd imagine that there are a lot of them playing the game. They're definitely not the majority since this isn't CoD, but I'm sure there a plenty of "very young" people. I most likely wouldn't have the room in my inventory or the time to bother reading your journal if I kill you, especially if the server/area is highly populated.

burkino_026@yahoo.com 14 Posted February 6, 2014 I havent found paper yet, to try it out, but cant wait. Have been curious about it since day one. I will deffo read anybody's notes. I already read books in game during downtimes, or when waiting for buddies. Also, couple of my buddies are "squeakers" as some call 'em, and totally not kos'ers, cod'ers or the like. They're actually quite interesting to play with. Dont blame it on the kids, i say, because a lot of the uncaring players are young adults and adults. Please do write journals. If i find yours, i shall keep it with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069 Posted February 6, 2014 Actually, I wish we could also draw on the paper. I'd put: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO and draw a stick figure guy in the middle. Duct tape it to a tree in the forest near Elektro so it is found Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingJack (DayZ) 767 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Yesterday I found paper on the ground, remembering that pen&paper work (again?), I decided to have a look at it...what did it say? "lOOK DOWN! bam your dead" While I was happy that I found a note from another survivor, the "your" annoyed me so much, I wanted to handcuff the guy who wrote it and feed him rotten kiwis... And I already write on pieces of paper and scatter them, but I prefer strange notes like "GARY! They are coming...they are COMING! RUN!" or "We meet at the well when the sun goes down.", but keeping a journal (or even write a steamname on it...hm wait...I should write a random steam name of somebody else on the server o0n it and carry it with me just to confuse people....

soulfirez 901 Posted February 6, 2014 Never tried but i am guess paper doesnt stack. Id be happy to write or read someone elses pages but seeing each page taks a slot its rather excess for room.. A multi page journel would be awesome or like i say the ability to stack pages... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
