Hero of Canton 6 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) We've had our fun hoarding vehicles on this server and the challenge to keep adding vehicles has worn itself out! So, we wanted to do something fun: To start with we'd like to give away the Red Sedan!We'll park it somewhere very near a shore town around HAPPENING NOW!!! (master servers are down, we'll shoot for 8pm and see how it goes)pm EASTERN (today July 23rd) and announce which server we are on and which town it is near after the car is placed. What I'm hoping for is to see some shore dwellers fight over the car and someone eventually drive it off! And if some people want to camp the spot picking off people as they run to the car, by all means! Hopefully they will start hunting each other too. Bottom line is however exciting or lame it turns out, someone will eventually end up with a vehicle to have some fun with. Any thoughts? I'm afraid I'm not giving enough time for people to prepare or know about it, or that no one will care. But I figure if people have a character they don't mind losing, it would be fun to fight for the vehicle. I'm hoping people don't think so much about the prize of the Red Sedan and more of the mini-game aspect of a sort of king of the hill. I will try to hide somewhere near by and record with FRAPS.

Hero of Canton 6 Posted July 23, 2012 Thank you Pinin, but... what do you think? lol. By the way, I have no intention of sniping players myself. I don't want to discourage people by shooting them. I will shoot people if they get too close to where ever I hide, though :PI'm going to be making a server announcement as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lukio (DayZ) 24 Posted July 23, 2012 More like King of the Hill - I like this thing you are doing. In Industry Speak I think this is what is called emergent gameplay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expendable (DayZ) 6 Posted July 24, 2012 Omg! Lol, I wish I didn't miss that! Sounds like it worked out well. Great job! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Canton 6 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) It's still there! Has a broken tire it looked like! Pretty big fire fight, 3 casualties, 4 more customers in cherno on my last count. Car still there with wounded tire! Edited July 24, 2012 by Hero of Canton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3NESIS 2 Posted July 24, 2012 As soon as i got close, two guys were running at it... think im responsible for the blown tire....oops 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Canton 6 Posted July 24, 2012 Another interesting fire fight, no casualties. A survivor with a hatchet just drug like 45 zombies past two armed survivors but I think they're focused on the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Canton 6 Posted July 24, 2012 Placed a spare tire right next to the car! You don't even have to hunt for one. I see at least 4 people, 3 groups, still running around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CobraSavage 5 Posted July 24, 2012 this was a great idea...I was just gonna watch in Cherno and see how it played out but after checkin out the place I decided to just make a run for it. Threw 2 smoke grenades and went to repair the tire, but once I got in there was alot of gunshots going off lol I'd like to think the smoke helped cover me but I have no idea.Never had a car in this game so i'll enjoy it while it lasts! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Canton 6 Posted July 24, 2012 I recorded it! I'll try to edit it together maybe tomorrow and post the link here! Have fun cobra, from my angle the smoke def helped! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Canton 6 Posted July 24, 2012 BTW was taking some pot shots at some people afterwards just before I logged off and someone snuck up on me with a shotty and got some good gear! I heard him coming but it takes so damn long to switch to my silenced M9 and then try to move that he had a good 3 seconds where I couldn't move or shoot. I think he DC'd right after looting me though because I had some people looking at my position that couldn't see him :) Hope to do this again soon. Thanks for everyone that participated!
