[Cap'n (DayZ) 1827]

I get, really, really pissed when people call Chernarus Russia. I know it's a very unusual thing to say, as not a whole lot of a DayZ players have tried or take interest in ArmA (which disappoints me sorely), but is it that hard? I mean, it has a name, fairly unique architecture, as revealed by Ivan Buchta in an interview, it also has a flag, and a military in both mod and game. It even has a language, and an expanded map. Then why can't people bother to recognize it's indeed a country? Then again, why do people want to distance DayZ from ArmA?

 

People complain about the lack of story, when there actually is a good chunk of history and background behind this whole debacle (for example; Chernarus has gone through three civil wars, so life wasn't much better before). It also discredits the father of DayZ: ArmA 2 arguably one of the best and most in-depth shooters/simulation games on the market. Everyone who worked on DayZ also happened to work on the ArmA games; including Ivan Buchta, the mastermind behind the awesome map of Chernarus. He managed to make it look a hell of a lot better than Altis, and they had a fourth the time taken to make this game (probably even less). And they're still making new villages.

 

I know it's unreasonable to expect you people to care, but I think you should. Chernarus is one of the best game worlds of all time (I'm going that far, son!), so it deserves some respect. Treat it like you should, treat it like it deserves.

Y'know, a lot of countries other than Russia use the Cyrillic writing system.

Never been to them so don't care.  Call me ignorant if it makes you feel better.

You're ignorant (and arrogant). Particularly when talking so dismissively about a corner of the world where questions of language, nationality and ethnicity have ended so many lives in the last century.

 

WRT the topic yes, Chernarus is a great gameworld. I'd like for it to be extended to include Novigrad one day but that's a pipe dream and a half.

That is actually, pretty true.

 

If you have a native Czech speaker tell you what the random citizens say in ArmA 2, it's pretty unusual. For example: a common quote heard from local civillians "I'm sweating like a cowshed gate". Rumor has it, that Bohemia did this on purpose to make the language a bit more unique.

Are you serious? Are you going to derail the thread and start another flame war? The mods have warned all of us on that one other thread, you know?

 

ON-TOPIC:

Wasn't there something called the ChernaRussian Movement or something? There's even a beret of it on DayZ.

 

-EDIT-

Yeah, here it is.

Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Chernarussian_Movement_of_the_Red_Star

They are a rebel group that wanted to reestablish communism on Chernarus in Arma 2.

Not really.

 

Antonio: Chernarussian movement of the red star, they were communists in south Zagoria region (the part of Chernarus in ARMA 2) who were murdering people and generally being evildoers supported by Russia.

The Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star, or ChdkZ. They were a former political party, militia group, and former workers interest group (which started some nasty riots in the 90's, apparently). They go on to cause all hell in the area, protecting the interests of Russia primarily.

You are the one attempting to derail the topic.  Derp.  I also remember the mods warning you.

Still, that was an incredibly boneheaded thing to say. A hell of a lot of people have died in places like Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijian and the Balkans over these things. They deserve a little respect.

 

And, ignorance of the rest of the world is a bit idiotic in general. This is, after all, a international forum.

Not a derailment when I add on topic information in the same post. Herp derp. They warned all of us on the thread, not just me, and you.

 

On-Topic

Well, two people have responded to my post before I made the edit. :P So, we could assume that the events on Arma 2 happened in DayZ on the past.

With the addition of the CDF items & zombies, and other Chernarussian based stuff (including several A1 and OFP references), it is safe to say that we're playing in an ArmAverse game.

 

Also: The CR-75 was made in Kirovograd. I love Bohemia for that little continuity nod.

Oh no!  I don't care if other countries use cyrillic writing besides Russia.  Is that really a reason to get all butt-hurt?  

 

Seriously, LOL.

If that is how you feel.  I won't get butt-hurt over it and talk about the struggle of Americans freeing themselves from the tyranny of England.
