I think the plan is to head to Berezino and make a more permanent camp there.

Awesome.  Danijel Habek and I are going to try to meet up in the game.  We're both in right now, but about 15-20 minutes hike apart.

I just installed TS.  I don't see the channel BTCArmy.

I'll be on in about 20 minutes.  Anyone want to join?

What?  Link please.

DDoSers are idiots.  All they do is increase the cost of using the internet for everyone.

Still down, it seems.

It's gonna be a few hours before I can play.

That's exactly what I've been thinking.  I think it'd be awesome to be hired guns.  The first order of business should be to build up a nice supply of weapons and supplies as covertly as possible.  We should all get together on low traffic servers and collect as much as we can.

I've found em in random places.  A few times I've seen them in super markets.  They're just around.

I'll make my way to that area in a few hours, gotta finish work.

Edit:  My new goal is to get a water bottle, matches, hatchet, and hunting knife so that I can make it in the wilderness on animal meat.  That way I won't need to make runs into town for canned food.  Animal meat also has the advantage of restoring blood more quickly than other foods, so it'll take the place of carrying around blood transfusion supplies.  Though, I still need to scrounge together some morphine for broken bones.  Can't wait to get back in...

I gotta get back to work.  I spent an hour getting to the airfield and while I was crawling through some grass some asshole killed me.  I have no idea where he was, but the shots sounded pretty close.  I had a ton a good stuff.  Oh well, I'll start again tomorrow.

I've got some time to kill so I'm going to get in the game and start making my way to the airfield in the North West corner.

I've never done anything like this before.  This the first online game I've played in quite a long time, and I'm not sure what the best way to organize this is.  There's in-game direct voice comm, but you have to be in "ear" shot to hear voice chat or see text.  There's a group channel in-game, but I don't think it works yet.  Can you do free international voice chat with Skype?  I guess we could organize meetups through Skype groups through regular text chat and use something else for voice in-game for when we're spread out.  I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud.  Hopefully radios get added to DayZ soon.

Cool.  I might be able to play some tonight.  I'm on the East Coast US, but I've played some on Euro servers and it's been fine.  Right now I've got a pretty good thing going in Berezino.  I've mostly been sticking to the circled area because there's good access to a lot of supplies in that area.  There's a hospital, supermarket, and a hotel within a relatively small area.  It's a bit of a pain in the ass to get into town because there are a lot of zombies walking around, but once you're in you can navigate around relatively easily.



Berezino is nice because it's one of the bigger cities, but most people seem to stay further south and west.  I've been there for a couple days now and haven't seen a single survivor across several different fairly populated (20-50 people) servers.  I think it's a good place to build up your stash of supplies without the risk of getting shot or robbed.  Also, there's a small abandoned military camp nearby that might afford an opportunity to get some nice military grade weapons, but I haven't checked it out yet.

Also, I've noticed more hacking going on in more populated servers, so I think it's best to stick to servers with no more than 30 people.  Let me know if you want to come North to Berezino.  If so, I'll meet you half way.  I've got plenty of supplies, and can even treat severe blood loss and broken bones.  When I've started over I always seem to spawn along the coast in this area, and I basically moved in a straight line to Berezino.  I mostly avoided towns along my way.

Her next article should be titled "8 Reasons To Avoid Bitcoin" and she should include 9. trololol

Damn, I've still got a lot of trolling to do.

C'mon, nobody wants to try to survive in 225 square km of mostly wilderness intermixed with zombie infested towns and deadly PvP bandits?  Maybe we could even become like the virtual version of the Armory and scavenge for rare military equipment and sell it.

It's really astonishing that it's 2012 and it seems bankers are only now, some 40 years after the emergence of email, realizing that it's a bit odd that moving digital representations of money through the traditional banking system is cumbersome.  Since I've started using bitcoin, I groan when I have to move money through the traditional system.  Sure, the customer interface might be more refined, but at its heart, it's clunky.  Though interfacing with the bitcoin network isn't as easy, every time I do it I get a sense for the elegance of the heart of this system.

Just started playing this ARMAII mod.  It's pretty fun if you're into realism.  Anyone else playing this?  Wanna start a group?
