Survivor journals

[Jvalor 59]

Is it just me or have more people came across pieces of paper lying around or on bodies that actually have been written on by other players? And I don't mean the "funny har-har" notes that say shit like, "I farted...", but actually like RP shit.

 

Just today I was passing by Dubrovka(sp?) and decided to search the area just for shits and giggles, even though I didn't really need anything. I found a dead body in the road. I searched his pack just to see what he had on him, but it looked like he had been killed pretty recently and whoever killed him took pretty much everything except his clothes and his backpack. He did however, have a piece of paper on him so I read the note just thinking it was blank, but no. This guy was obviously RPing or something because he wrote like a whole journal entry on it. Now I am not into the whole RP scene, but I will be damned if I didn't start reading this note and was actually getting into it. But it was so long that most of it was cut out and I guess there is no way to scroll down to read more when looking at a note? So I couldn't read the rest, but I could tell there was more to it.

 

Anyway, I posted this in the Suggestions board because I am sure it has been discussed before, but I think it would be pretty cool to be able to have your own personal journal or find a notebook or something and you could choose to write in it or not. I mean, I would never sit there and type out something like that, but it was pretty cool to find that in-game. So has anyone else came across a legit note written by an RP player?

I kept 8 pages of "journals" a while back on an old character.  I still roleplay in the game as a Red Star Beret commando that was sent in with a squad in the last few days of the outbreak (when everything started to succumb to it).  I carried around 5 other berets that were badly damaged (representing my fallen comrades).  Gives a neat experience when playing..

Every time I start a new character, I try to find pen and paper to write and keep a note on me.  :thumbsup:  Having a journal of some sort would be great.

I do this when I can, but haven't found much paper lately. I learned quickly that even though it lets you write as much as you want, only the first bit is able to be read. Kind of unfortunate really. Limits what you can offer for the people who find it.

I kept an entire journal entry on one of my characters, including an on-the-go copy of the Reddit Rescue Ranger's handbook.

Usefull to have.
