Fort Friendly - Social Experiment

[Steins 86]

I NO LONGER GO TO FORT FRIENDLY, FORT FRIENDLY IS NO LONGER A CONFIRMED SAFE ZONE. THE SOCIAL EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS. THE FORT HAS BEEN MOVED AND RENAMED AND WE WILL ALSO BE SETTING UP A VoIP SERVER IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO ALLOW FOR AN ORGANISED GROUP.

PLEASE AWAIT THE DETAILS IN A NEW THREAD THAT WILL BE CREATED IN A FEW DAYS.

Hi. I'd like to invite everyone to come and bolster the number of citizens at Fort Friendly.The compound is wired off, the only entrances being the catwalks and the main gate, consider this a safe location to place tents for the looting of Chernogorsk and I will do my utmost to ensure that if anyone is killed within Fort Friendly, I will take their killers lives also.I understand that it's up to ourselves to make safe places in this game and us, Europeans, aren't able to join American servers and subsequently their survivor groups, such as The Walking Militia.I don't want to provide grand illusions that the area is secure and that there are tents lining the walls with guards a plenty. It's just me right now. I've wired off the crawling holes under the walls (of which there are 3.)If you don't feel safe in the fort, you could always take a position on one of the many rooftops/towers around the fort and be our guardian angels.Well, that's all for now. I play UK 7 often. It's a hardcore server (no names, no 3dp, no crosshair) I feel that it's easiest to survive when bandits aren't looking over the walls in third person.Edit: Okay, so I decided to block the main entrance off, so now the only entrance is by climbing a ladder to a catwalk and walking along it.Edit#2: updated to announce APPARENT continuation of services.I will personally validate the claims that this is a safe zone tomorrow and change the thread accordingly.

Nice! I'll be there later this evening. Just a thought though, it seems a bit of an exposed position, have you thought of maybe fortifying somewhere a bit easier to defend/secluded. Anyway, I'm in.

Im on my way, you have my ak something or other.

This sound like it will become a popular PVP zone for bandit groups looking for fun.

[Steins 86]

It's me and another guy right now, so far so good. I chose this location as it's near the coast. Chernogorsk has a bad reputation for snipers, so if we get some of our own up and around, being exposed will be a good thing.

Then join us and turn the tide. Friendly players are too few and far between, however to have a controlling majority of a server means we CAN win this.

[Lycake 33]

Server restart. I'm there in about 5 mins after the server is back up

Broadcasting a safe zone...

Great intentions! Terribad idea.

[Apollo Noir 25]

Can an american player get in on this?

[Steins 86]

Yea everyone is welcome. Also, any bandits that shoot at a bunch of lightly armed people on the coast who are trying to play the game as intended should get put on the Darwin list.

In a real apocalypse, you'd be so happy to see other people (let alone a settlement) that you wouldn't shoot them unless they presented a threat to you. Instead you'd watch it for a while and decide whether or not to head over there, but no man would open fire on a settlement in a post-apocalyptic world.. NO MAN. Maybe a small army perhaps, but even a sniper wouldn't. What is their to gain besides loss of ammo?

I'm also presenting a large number of factors that are wrong with the game idea whilst doing this. Such as the "one man army" factor.

How else would someone be able to take advantage of a safe zone if no one broadcasts it?

If you're still at this come the weekend I'll head over and lend my assistance.

[Steins 86]

Someone just shot at me from a distance (I didn't hear a gunshot) and then they stopped (gun is lowered, walking around). It was quite funny.

It did not hit me. :)
