So here's how far I ran today  

Was lovely playing with you lot

Wow, you must be starving!
 
 
//T'was great playing with you lot again. I'll be honest and say I had no idea where I was most of the time, but thanks to you lot I'm now pretty well decked out and even combat ready, should it come to that.
 
I hope Dean expands on the game a bit more. We really need the ability to build a base, even if it's just tents. Vehicles would be great, as would hunting, but a base gets priority for me. I love the spray cans everywhere. It's be awesome if you could actually tag stuff so others know you were there, although this would probably add quite a bit of strain to the server/client comms. 
 
Still gotta say that Dean and Co have done an excellent job on this. It's not perfect, but it certainly blows any other alpha I've ever played right out the water. 

Yeah, it was good playing with you guys, even if I was only on a short time. Harrison you need to take on marathons...

So here's how far I ran today  

Forum Name: Harrison
Name in-game: Harrison
Location: Green Mountain area

Wow, this is pretty damn good!
 
 
Running with everything maxed out, it looks really sweet. I love that many buildings are enterable, and the atmosphere really takes the DayZ franchise to a whole new level. I find the scarcity of food and supplies a bit concerning, I'd say a priority for Rocket is to get resources to respawn without the need of a server restart. Some ambient sounds freaked me the fuck out at first. There's a sound which sounds like a rusty gate which had me cowering behind a bar for a few minutes until it repeated itself enough times for me to establish that it was in fact an ambient sound and not a player. 
 
Zombies are rarer than hen's teeth, yet to see one. I also miss the location announcement when I log in, so I literally have no clue where I am, and I can't find a sign to give me an indicator (it's also been a while since I've been in Chernarus so fuck knows). I'm currently sitting in a block of flats somewhere overlooking a small town, in the dark, dying of thirst and unable to find anything. 
 
I have a pink beanie and a working flashlight, that's it. 
 
Time will tell where this adventure takes me...

How is McDonalds going Dylan?

Cheeky sods, guess the weather was too bad or something, lol

Well played mate haha!

The last guy I had was in all black, had about 60 rounds for my mosin and ammo for a revolver...... and I fell of some stairs and diedXD

This guys been alive for two weeks, doing well, could spare a pistol

Can't log in to Steam at the moment, on nights :/
 
 
I'm off tomorrow and Friday, working days on Sat & Sun, then on mon-thurs days, then off for a whopping 6 days. Can't fucking wait.
 
Phil, if you've done what I think you've done, I'm going to really have to meet up and buy you a beer or ten
 
 
I'll try get on for Saturday night. Make some space for FRAPS and get my gashnizzle on. I'm shit though, bring a stretcher.

It'll take me half an hour tops to run to you, no problem

It'll take me half an hour tops to run to you, no problem

I'd be up for it, I'm here on the map 

I've just had my first payout from Adsense, a shade over £60 which has taken almost 4 months to accumulate.
 
This covers the cost of the site for the next few months, so donations at this point are simply going in to the pot for game giveaways, competitions or a rainy day.
 
Just wanted to share that with you guys, thanks for making this place as awesome as it is!

Stop with the giveaways and what not until you have at least banked an additional 3 months of server up time over what you have currently.

It seems my old art thread was removed for some reason, but no matter.
Here I will post my art, whether it be hand-made or a BO2 emblem.
Please note, however, that there will be a few some alot of ponies here, so proceed with caution if the mere sight of a candy-colored equine makes you furious.
 
WE GO:

 
This pic (a gift to my favorite artist) quickly became a favorite of many, and requests were coming in quickly after that for me to do the same thing with different characters.
Who knew? x)

Right, I've done some research and homework.
 
First off, I'm looking into organizing something that's totally independent from the marathon, an event which people can attend and maybe have competitions, bring along some of the guys the charity support and have a good time for all of us.
 
I approached my forum representative within BT (not internet forum, an actual forum) and she sounded positive about the idea and mentioned that it fits in perfectly with the BT brand.
 
Provided that BT is willing to help us out with a venue, I'd then start looking at getting sponsored by companies like Monster, Relentless, Red Bull, maybe approach some companies for catering, speak to the likes of GAME, Scan, Overclockers, etc etc, maybe get some PCs lent to us, consoles, whatever we can get to turn this into an awesome event for these guys and hopefully raise as much cash as possible.
 
My wife and I will organize everything once we've got a go-ahead from BT, she'd be great for this what with her outstanding management skills, so I'm feeling quite confident that we will in some way or another manage to organize an excellent day out.
 
I'll also be exploring options to accept virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin and perhaps most importantly Dogecoin, the following of which recently gained press coverage worldwide by helping raise $30k to send the Jamaican bobsled team to the Winter Olympics.
 
In short I'm exploring every avenue possible and will be reaching out to many companies to help us get this off the ground.
 
If anyone has any other ideas please drop them in this thread and let's turn this idea into an awesome day of fundraising and awareness for those less fortunate than ourselves, so that they may enjoy the games we all take for granted.
 
Thanks for reading, and as always, stay classy FG!

I'd be down!

I'm not above 2 footing an 8 year old haha
