Imagine if we pulled this off for a couple of hours (er lol!).

[mooky32 308]

Semi serious post by me (for a change).

 

Picture this, on a 40 man server we get 25-30 like minded people to hop on, organised through the boards.

 

We roll-up to Berezino and begin society again, ambitious but I think there is a way, read on.

 

So we code name our new town something unique, lets call it Uranus for the sake of argument. The whole of Berezino is way to ambitious a size of real estate, so we declare our new town around about the cross roads area with the pub, med centre, police station and flats as our city limits.

 

We then take up roles to get simulating a human fight-back.

 

My thoughts so far are we have set roles as such:

 

Military: At least 8 members of the group are allocated to town defence, taking out bandits and zombies as the threaten the town. These are the only townspeople to carry firearms (well except police , get to them later). They will have to be hand picked and will have a "general" who is voted in to decide on strategy and placement of counter-snipers etc. All other firearms will be stored in the police station under guard.

 

If anyone manages to penetrate Uranus then the military must respond and repel a deep entry.

 

Policeman: One allocated policeman who is allowed to carry a sidearm. He will take care of town disputes, random fist fights, stealing and abuse. He has the right to take someone to the police cells (away from the guns) and detain them for a sin bin number of minutes to be determined. He may also deal with zombie threats and back up the army in an emergency. Shades are a must and a magnum is preferred. Clint impressions are encouraged and their word is final on civilian matters!

 

Doctor:  All med supplies stockpiled in the med centre, all citizens attend the doctor for treatment as required. Plenty of medics who love that shit, so should be an easy role to fill.

 

Pub Landlord: All food and drink stockpiled in the pub for fair distribution under watch of the landlord. Stealing to be reported to the police! The pub will act as a social gathering spot for citizens and music can be played by a nominated DJ through direct chat for some background music. German techno is strictly forbidden.

 

Store Keeper: Dump of clothing and all non-military kit. Free distribution on a shared basis. Prob based in little shop opposite pub.

 

Citizens: The majority of players. Unarmed , chilling chatting , even nominating houses etc. This will be more interesting than it seems (remember we are talking 2 hours tops here). You will be exposed and relying on the military , you may get bored and steal and be detained but its all part of the gig. Citizens should be able to live in peace and this will be a new experience.

 

 

Entertainment: Boxing matches to be held outside the pub (quite accurate in the UK at least). All organised with side bets of food and goods allowed. 3 knock downs decides it and no fatalities or the police may have to take action.

 

 

So yeah the real pay off, for me in this social experiment would be as the society started to crumble, the army took casualties and the bandits get bolder. Suddenly 20 plus people trying to survive at all odds, with the inevitable storming of the police station to get guns and blow each other away. The fun would be to see how long this kind of normality could be held down for. It would take willing participants and a bit of organising but would make a good story and perhaps could be recorded for posterity.

 

I would vote myself in for Governor of Uranus ,with no real power but that of being a total spanker.

 

Lets make a full exploration of the potential of Uranus possible!

 

Thanks All

Hey... That sounds really, really fun.

 

Would be best on a single hive server, so people can't 'teleport' in.

Maybe get it organised for when private hives arrive?

Deffo dude, I think its easy to poke fun at it but it would be some experiment! We could have code words issued on the day for security purposes! :)

[Johnny Depth 167]

Sounds like fun.  I'm down!!

[TheRedScare 353]

When suddenly. An asshole with a mosin snipes everyone from 600M away. 

 

I like the idea but people are such assholes they will love to ruin it.

[Johnny Depth 167]

I think citizens should mostly walk too, instead of sprinting all the time.  It would show that we're more calm and comfortable in town.

[Katana67 2907]

Dat exemplification of potential future mechanics

 

Sounds fun!

Right you totally get it, that's the point , act as citizens would not sprint about or do mental stuff lol. As for scoped mosin guys, yes there will be death but the army must deal with and counter snipe and earn their crust. It would be a very tough gig but could be done if security was carried out correctly. Bandits would provide additional supplies for the town , think of it that way.

[Johnny Depth 167]

And everyone needs to be familiar with each other.  It will be hard to tell if someone sneaks into Uranus and acts as a citizen, then starts murdering people in the pub. LOL

[Damnyourdeadman 1045]

Imagine if we could see 200 man servers.

Then your idea wouldn't be so hard to materialize. :)

Building walls/fences and general fortifications around the city could deal with that problem.

If you got an unwanted intruder deep in Uranus then they should be able to be picked out as they will prob be carrying weapons. If they start then all citizens are obliged to defend themselves with fists! Police should deal with it , or army if needed!

[blissandpanic 92]

That sounds fun! we need things like that while we are on alpha to pass the time.

 

I would like to add one thing; you would need a group or "runners" to collect loot from the other cites with a few escort.

 

And of course when they come back with loot--an instant street party to celebrate the harvest! :P

 

beanz op good idea :beans:

Yup great idea, scouts to go out and gather and return with the needed supplies, totally essential.

[Johnny Depth 167]

I would like to volunteer as scout on some scavenging missions!

Also... walkie talkies to be more realistic or a group chat like teamspeak? 

[Iowa23 12]

No lets call it Uranus...

also you forgot mayor and Berenzino already had a shop keeper last time i checked.

[Dreypa 98]

3 friends and I would like to probe and penetrate Uranus defenses , I would love to test the fortitude and determination of this "social experiment". Please send me a msg when you plan to do this.

[audax 207]

I hope we will se this on pubblic servers when they will implement barricading and base building ^^

[Karmaterror 982]

This is awesome, great idea. I really hope in the end the zombies are so many in number that we cannot do things lie this. Tried it a few times on the mod, I went with some friend to secure a small town....I took 5 m249 belts....my ammo lasted about 20mins lol :)

 

Devs bring back those relentless zombies that never stop....Great way to burn some ammo and get experience firing guns outside of PvP encounters :)

[Johnny Depth 167]

We'll also need to assign certain people to be zombie eradicators, right?

[mooky32 308]

Well police should do that role, with army taking out what they can. Maybe 2 police would be needed to ensure zombie are kept at bay so we can safely get a pint at the pub.

3 friends and I would like to probe and penetrate Ur anus defenses , I would love to test the fortitude and determination of this "social experiment". Please send me a msg when you plan to do this.

:rolleyes:

You need to be able to know who or what is coming in and out of Ur anus.

So you need fortify Ur anus and have a gate as a checkpoint to control Ur anus traffic.

[Murlough 192]

Thats an awesome idea! Id love to be a part of that. It would definatly need to be on a private server though. Too many people to try to ruin it :/.

[Johnny Depth 167]

When we can finally have tents and fires, we should move into the woods far from civilization, and only go there when we need supplies.  Since zombies respawn in towns, the only safe place would probably be in the wilderness.  That is a while away though

[majo 23]

Really great idea. :thumbsup: :beans:

 

If you ever want to start this I'd like to volunteer for any kind of role, citizen, scout, doctor.. no matter which. Even if its just for 2 hours.

Please drop a line by PM if you bring this up :)

[mooky32 308]

Its a win win for Citizens and bandits. It will draw in every bandit on a server and the army will have its work cut out with counter-sniping etc. Citizens get a really odd but satisfying experience relying on others for defence and the bandits hopefully have a very hard nut to crack. Captured bandits could be executed by firing squad with citizens viewing and jeering!!
