Welcome to DayZ. A world where a zombie outbreak somehow happened and now you have to avoid/kill them all. But the main danger is MAN. Using the ARMA 2 engine, run across the countryside with your guy that makes marathon runners his bitch. A bunch of us play on the
BMRF servers. Join us, and together we can rule Chernarus (and other maps!). Also a bunch of us hang out in a Mumble server to coordinate.

Step 1:Install Arma2/Arma2 OA
-DON'T install DayZ on steam
Step 2: Run both arma2/oa
Step 3:

Wombat, Ham and I had some adventures in cherno earlier. I think we killed 6 people altogether, I ended up getting dead to a guy with a revolver and hatchet. Ham had to log, and later on I got back on and met up with wombat again and we worked over cherno a bit more once again till I got sniped. Then trying to respawn close to cherno I got the following spawns: Komorovo, Krutoy Cap, Kamenka, Komorovo, Kamenka, Komorovo, Elektro, Kamenka, Kamenka, Komorovo, Elektro, Kamenka. I am dead serious I think that is precisely the order and amount of respawns I got trying to get back there, I have never had such bad luck. Eventually wombat died too and then I got another elektro spawn and he happened to too.
We shot a dude or two, both shot at a van with double barrels which was pretty hilarious and that's where we logged.
Maybe next time I'll try to record our adventure. I woulda liked to have that shot I got on the guy in the car recorded, it was pretty cheat codes.
Also, let it be known that I stormed the factory upon respawn with a crossbow. I got one shot off into the chest of another survivor before being killed 10 minutes before a server restart. I REGRET NOTHING.

My throat hurts from spending all day talking/yelling in Mumble with you all.
Some guy was super excited about DayZ RP, planning on being honourable and playing nicely and everything.
Meanwhile, we're filling our water bottles east of Mogilevka, and just as we're about to move I spot a survivor. He's looking right at us, so I pop him in the head with the DMR. Whoops, turns out it was super friendly RP guy.
I actually don't feel toooo bad, but still! I'm a murderer!
I thought that we learned that combat rolling off a dam is a perfectly valid escape tactic.
True. My mistake
I got to do the second best job of dayz, which is being the guy who gets shot so everyone can shoot the bad guy. This is second best only to the best job of dayz, which is being the guy who shoots the guy. So I am satisfied, even though I don't think I shot anyone today.
Oh I also saved a guy in elektro so I guess I feel good about that too.
You are insane.
We were actually not far away from where you were, but the others decided that we should head to Cherno and pick up Mantrap instead (because there was still a sliver of doubt that you were where I assumed you were).
I wasn't really on top of my game yesterday - I'm a bit sad I lost my M4A1 Holo since that was the first time I found that gun.
The situation at the castle, when you were stranded at the top and some attacker was slowly making his way up to you, was actually pretty cool, although I handled it really badly. The timing of my arrival was perfect, but I was in a bit too much of a hurry to save you from your assailant. I should have proceeded more carefully and coordinated myself with you (although I was really worried he would kill you while you were administering morphine or something).
This was after I bailed on Fyndir when he tried to run a friendly player down and, after failing to hit him, jumped out of the car and shot him repeatedly.
I feel I made the right choice in that situation.
TO BE FAIR I was trying to line up a shot myself.
But I didn't kill him in the end. You did. YOU MONSTER.
For reals though, I've never had to explain to her how to get any where even on her fresh spawns when she's just navigating off internet maps (and she is new to chernarus. and extra note: compare to all of fucken us last night getting lost with compasses and maps haha), she pretty much hits every guy she has ever shot at, she sees everything, she is sneaky and she wants to shoot or blow everything up.
Speak for yourselves. I was sitting at that lake for like 10 minutes waiting for you people.
Not that I'm terrified to go into towns, I just usually don't unless I need something like to raid a supermarket or whatever. The other 99% of the time I spend running through the woods where nobody can find me.
Other than that we shot lots of dudes and did lots of things. While the servers were down, Fyndir, Mantrap and myself jumped on a public server and shot up a bunch of newbies in cherno and elektro. Later Ham and Wombat got on and we had a lot of shootings, Ham, Wombat and myself had a shoot out tonight all over the NEAF. We must have run into 6-7 other players, making up about 3 or 4 different groups. I died twice, wombat once but I think we came out on top especially because later Nova jumped on and we went back up and looted everyone. I believe the total kill count on our part was perhaps 5?
Any ways I recorded a lot of stuff today so I have slapped it all together and will upload it tonight hopefully, but it's going to take a bit. Unfortunately I am a lazy asshole and I only have windows movie maker sooo it's basically just straight gameplay with a couple notes. I can't even seem to just freeze a frame in WMM so I didn't bother showing that Ham really did see a dude at the tent by that hedge grove, but he did, for realies, we must have just missed him as we went around it.

Guess it was an attack, which is what I pretty much figured it was since the normal dayz forums haven't been blowing up with people saying their servers are going nuts from the patches or anything.
I KNEW I SAW SOMETHING!
