Rule 7. It’s hard to remember everything you can make and how the hell do you know what others can’t make?
Rule 10. It’s hard to know what people are looking for if you don’t hear them ask for it.
SOLUTION: Create a wants/would like/needs wall and put a sign up with your request. Have a chest beside it just for those items and only the person who has asked for the item to take it out. It should work and solve the problem of “evil little chimps“ not being on at the same time.
Anything in the other chests is fair game within reason... e.g. don’t take all of the last stack of ammo on horde night coz anyone dying has a fair chance of respawning in the base holding a gun with no ammo...bad planning I know but stuff happens. Be fair
