A few of us were going to run an unscheduled patrol through Cherno on a high population server. We started off rocky logging into 2 separate servers each with hackers, so we bailed and tried a third server.

We heard lots of shooting and had a fresh spawn report that there was someone using a hacked magazine holed up in the industrial area. We figured hacked magazine was better than the speed hack and flying we just came from, so we decided to try and eliminate him.

The fresh spawn agreed to help and run as bait, but the 3 of us didn’t last long before hostile encounters. There were multiple parties shooting up Cherno, most likely trying to move in on this hacked M4 mag person. Our fresh spawn started getting shot and ran back towards us screaming “There they are on the other side of the wall!”. We eliminated one of the hostiles but not before the fresh spawn and myself were killed.

I wasn’t part of the rest of the adventure, but another hostile was later killed and we lost other squad mates as well. All in all it was fun chaos.

Welcome renegade, hopefully we get a chance to see you in game and in Mumble.

Youtuber RhinoCrunch was a big inspiration for our group in the beginning.  I remember watching some of his videos and thinking, “Wow, these guys are awesome”.

How times have changed and we are now that group too!

Alright, the script is complete!

Now we just have to wait for zombies to choose a  location.  I think I have split up the recording sessions enough so that different people can participate as actors without needing to be around the entire time.

[digitalstimulus]

The draft of the script is done. I am going to work on fleshing out the props and actors required for each scene.

I may could use some ideas for how to convey some scenes, such as conversation or emotes. I need to find an emote list for DayZ that shows which Function key is what.

During the hardcore run with Tiberius, Gormirn, and myself. We made our way across Severograd towards the coastal town of Svetlojarsk.

On our way we met and helped several survivors:
– First a lantern carrying solo survivor trekking west near Novodmitrovsk

– Soon after a pair of survivors, somewhat fresh spawn looking, headed west

– Entering Svetlo, we encountered several survivors, one of them I will call “Mr. Mouthy”, wanted to follow us, another survivor ran up and wanted us to kill him for a better spawn. Mr. Mouthy decided a punch-out to the death will decide who gets to run with us. We left them to their boxing match and ran off before Mr. Mouthy gave away our position to someone more dangerous.

– At some point, we ended up with someone I will call “Pistol Guy” that kept pulling out a pistol and we kept telling him to put it away. A gun toting, fully geared player encountered us while Pistol Guy was with us and soon the fully gear player decided to run out of our sight putting us into alert mode and we tactically moved out of the area. Pistol Guy and another survivor followed us while we kept them safe. While in the woods, we saw a group of 5-7 survivors in the distance but never made contact.

– We encountered 2 more survivors later in Svetlojarsk and handed out the remainder of our food and water supplies.

– With such a large grouping following us and our supplies exhausted, we decided to lose the fresh spawns and then move into the woods to log out for the night.

EXCEPTION!

Videos that can be time lapsed can be any length, I only ask that you crop the before and after movements so the entire video is without character movement. I will do any processing to speed up the video for the time lapse effect.

[digitalstimulus]

People can submit as many clips as they want. I just don’t want to have to watch 3 hours of video for the 5-10 seconds that will get used for each submission.

If anyone thinks they have some neat footage that will fit with the song and one of the themes, by all means crop it down and submit as many video clips as you want.

Some of the most common streaming/recording programs are:

NVIDIA ShadowPlay (easy)
XSplit (complex)
Open Broadcaster Software (complex)

I personally use OBS since I often stream to Twitch and it allows me to overlay my twitch chat, graphics, etc onto the video. ShadowPlay is mostly point and click, not very many options, but so easy to use you can’t mess it up.

Patrol tonight with a group of 6 didn’t make it very far into Chernogorsk when we came under fire. Since we didn’t know where the hostiles were, we fell back to the woods in hopes to ambush the attackers. Our group was split up and after we regrouped, we fell back some more just in case the stragglers were spotted.

Our attackers ended up flanking us around to the left and we fell back deeper into the woods. As one approached, I ran out to say something but he stopped and aimed his weapon at us and our group quickly dispatched justice.

Soon after, more of the hostile group must have heard the shots and came up and wiped all of us except HuhEd and Robb.

Derrel, Fox, Misbehaving, and I decided to start up a farm in Elekto on DayZ Underground. Miss and I were still making our way to meetup when derrel and Fox saw a few fresh spawns.

One of the freshies decided to punch the others and start skinning them. The two moved in and quickly put an end to his cannibalism. 4 survivors were helped with food, one of them later ended up being that cannibal.

Several of us geared up and prepared for a patrol mission from Chernogorsk to Kamyshovo. Missbehaving and I had our internet drop and had to reset our modem. When we came in, I was next to the well and for some reason thought it was an excellent idea to drink water in the open. I was the first to die. Apparently some KOS started up and killed Miss and I, kittensoft died shortly peeking her head out the window of the police station.

Derrel was able to flank around while the group stood watch in the police station and kill the KOS bandit from approx 300 meters. There was another accomplice the group was unable to locate. He must have run off when he realized he was messing with the wrong group!

I saw it on reddit, but haven’t looked into it.

Perhaps I can get into contact with the folks and we could be a police force or something.

Welcome to our community, I look forward to seeing you in-game.
