(U)nified (S)urvivors of the (W)astes

[ybm 111]

I'm sure everyone has had the idea of building a base or a home but I like to think big picture. Everyone is just surviving on their own, not necessarily thriving-just surviving. I would like to see survivors pool all of their gear and resources to create a true safe haven of myths and legends. We would need a large amount of people and resources to effectively lock down a small town and claim it for the USW. It would become a trading post and a rest stop for weary survivors.

The essientials for this to work:

1) A server to preside on

Everyone has seen or been apart of the horror stories that are evil admins. We need true great men and women as admins to eliminate one of the problems that plague servers.

2) Manpower

Without manpower, it is near impossible to establish a true presense and ward off bandits and sneaky survivors who want nothing more than to destroy and fend for themselves.

3) A city to secure

A government is nothing if it has no sovergintity. We must be able to secure a town and be able to control some of the wild wasteland that we all know and love.

4) A currency system

Beans as we all know are like gold in our world. We have an infatuation with baked beans and only beans will be accepted as a form of currency. Any other trades are made as bartering from player to player.

5) Laws

Upon entrence to said secure city, all but government personel will be disarmed and all gear will be checked with gear associated employees to prevent violence within our borders.

What do you guys think? This is a game-wide collaborative effort with any and all suggestions and criticism welcome.

Very interested, but 1 thing. What about protecting survivors gear? Put them in tents. Ill talk to my clan about it.

Script kiddies.

Server hoppers will get inside the city with guns.

It's a shame you can't password it, then you'd get blacklisted.

Rocket did his half by creating this game and he wants to see what we will do with it. I want to show that in spite of hackers true survivors will always reign supreme through the USW.

Do i detect hostility lolol

Ghosting would ruin this, people(possibly even a group) would go onto a different server get behind you, log back onto the server and drop you all, take the loot and log off that server again. Great idea but I'm doubtful it would work.

As ybm said, for this case manpower will be crucial. There can be some ghosters that try to loot this city, but if we are enough in numbers and well organised, it would be possible.

Neat idea, it should be tried. It'll be a refreshing task at least, where blood will be shed. We mustn't live in constant fear of cheaters, and if such an event worked, it'd be a direct slap in their face.

Don't forget to provide a ts-server + some kind of registration to minimise the infiltration rate.

I am willing to join up depending on which city you guy's would be attempting to lock down.

[JESUSARIUS REX (DayZ) 163]

It actually wouldn't have to be a city per say. You could use barb wire, sandbags, tank traps, tents, and vehicles. A city would be cool, but with the constant spawning of zombies 30 feet away, it would be impossible.

The problem with using just barbwire and such is that snipers would pick people off due to there not being any cover.

Ya you would have to have snipers and other people patroling any woods around. I honestly don't think this will be possible until some major changes/standalone version.

Nice to see some interest in the topic and it would at least break the boredom of sitting outside elektro with a sniper rifle (died three times today with my buddy from them. We were fucking decked out.)

Someone just attempted this with 'friendly city' or something like that near cherno. I would suggest getting some elevation to make it harder to snipe you. Klen hill is a great spot for such a thing (114.039).
