Suggestion: A player Story sub-forum

[fearz0r 128]

Hi all,

If like me you like to share your experiences by writing in-depth stories for the community (as apposed to the "so today I logged on, went to Cherno and shoot a bandit. It was sweet" kind of stories (which are fine!) then I suggest (to the forum web team) that we get a "Survivor Stories" sub forum.

That way players who want spend a bit more time writing up their stories, and then spending a while editing them, don't then have to simply throw them in with the 900+ other stories in the generic story thread in the General section. In addition to this, the General section won't be so cluttered, and those that complain that "There's a story thread for them" can be content with the knowledge that the stories and game experience posts would be tucked away in their own sub forum, leaving the General forum for the "I died by a @#%*ing server hopper", "hackers everywhere", "I hate pvp" etc threads :D

I really back this idea (obviously) because I like to hear back from others regarding my stories, how it made them feel, whether they've had a similar experience etc, which is what I feel makes this mod so amazing. This can't be done by adding them to an ever expanding thread, any and all personal feedback would be lost in the 900+ other posts about different stories or events. It just makes more sense as stories about experiences is something that'll only grow in time, as the player base grows.

Be cool to see some threads where people are always updating their story and building on it post by post.

Yeah that would be cool. I have a series I'm working on in my spare time based on experiences of mine, as well as one's of a friend and I. I started this series after a story post I made a while back in the General forum (http://dayzmod.com/f...i-killed-a-man/ ). The experience was actually one of many that really hit me hard, and made me really think about how your actions can affect others, psychologically and physically. I was so blown away by the feedback I received for my post, that I started logging numerous outings and drafting up stories.

Having this sub forum would give me a space to share my experiences, as well as hear about others (in a more organised fashion).

Also, KeepCarlm remember to cast your vote :D
