SatansNightOut

Alright, I think I'm gonna bail and go on hiatus from the community before I drink too much vodka one night and burn my bridges here. I sincerely hope there is a reason for me to come back sometime in the distant future when both the community and DayZ itself becomes more constituent and enjoyable. I'm tired of the game's frozen state, and all the contribution I made towards a particular side-project ultimately killed my loyalty towards this community after all the time I invested. I have other things to keep my imagination stimulated, and other escapes to indulge in just as much as I did when I joined this community in 2014. So until further notice? Crimson or Satan or whatever you know me as... I'm out. o/

I do feel strongly, but I wasn't upset. I'm just passionate and I tend to advocate many others that came before me to stick up for this regularly repetitive and pointless argument. If you're offended because I am being blunt? You'll be just fine, I promise. I'm just articulating, or trying to share my opinion (unless that's totally illegal on DayZRP anymore). It just sounds like people with the same opinion you seem to share have little patience to wait for other people to express their stories. It's akin to the type of people I come across in real life who tend to wait for you to finish speaking so they can vomit their own response, instead of them taking the time to actually weigh-in and take into account a dedicated, formulated and equal response to the conversation at hand. Patience goes a long way with imagination. You find it to be a roadblock? Others don't feel the same way. Dedicated RPers find a modicum of patience in regards to the opposite party while reciprocating their thoughts and creativity.... Or they should. Otherwise, you're just trying to rush your own white noise and just trying to get out what YOU want to say without taking the time to actually give a meager fuck about the RPer you're engaging and socializing with. Absolutely no need to rush imagination, or call it a "roadblock." Your only limit is your imagination (and patience, it seems, from your demeanor). It's an RP scenario. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the rare innovation. Or don't.

A HUGE part of this whole fucking debate could be solved if Bohemia did ONE. SIMPLE. THING: Auto-run. Other than that, there are lazy, impatient motherfuckers who are too entitled to actually read and use words and imagination, and I think sometimes people need to go elsewhere if they think RP is all about how cool or edgy they can sound over expensive microphones, and some of these types are more concerned with ammo burning holes in their pockets, or what witty bullshit they can spew over VOIP instead of actual development. Roleplay should come first and foremost as a story, and many stories are told through text, words, writing... Some people don't realize what that is, or what it means, or what stories can become. There are things with pages and words... Also known as books, for those of who have never turned an actual page in their life, or have no patience for one of the most basic fundamentals of society: Reading and writing. In the end, it's all about enjoyment and fun, and patience. We are all actors on a stage, improvising. Half the time? I dislike voice-RPers because they have no goddamn thought filters and just say immediately what comes to mind without taking the time to think. Many times, I've heard Voice-RPers exhibit OOC traits that are totally contrasting to their actual character ideas, simply because they just say what comes to mind without taking into account how their characters react believably to certain situations. Text RPers can sometimes use more imagination through actual description and thought process because they take a few moments to consider before they tell their side of the story on this immense stage we share. You only truly know your character when you can drop them into any situation EVER and know EXACTLY how they would react. Keywords: How THEY would react. Not YOU, as an OOC influence. THEM. Not YOU. Your CHARACTER. Not... YOU... get the point. In the end? It is a double-edged sword. I advocate Text-RP, and I always will, because I've done it since I can remember. I am totally open to story-telling no matter what form. But to condemn one or the other? I will criticize in return, no holds barred. The simple idea of actually PUNISHING text-RPers is akin to Trump trying to silence EPA, NASA, and the like. So a huge fucking fat -1 ... Not at your ideas, but the simple fact I've been encouraged by several people to waste my time replying to this pointless thread that you could have instead used a search-function to research upon.

Soon people will be getting banned for BadRP for not replying to someone on the radio chatter thread, from the way it seems to be going lol. I don't see how, even if it's a short and effortless post, it should garner warning points. MAYBE a verbal warning, if we are being that uptight about it. But warning points? Come on. That's ridiculous.

Nothing about this community feels the same as when I first joined. I felt involved, excited and dedicated to contributing. Now I scorn staff, can't stand the attitude of people, and don't have that same sensation of being proud to be apart of this community anymore. It sucks, but that's what happens when it turns into a business instead of an escape for people to forget the hardships of the IRL world for just a few hours. It's no longer an escape, but a Facebook with prison guards.

Wayside Creations is an indie film group that have all their stuff on YouTube. I mean, there might be torrents but it's easier to watch on YouTube. The main series is Nuka Break, but there's also Lanius and uh... Fuck what was it. One about a ranger. They aren't as long as the main series, which is an hour or two. The two spin offs are only like 20 or 30 minutes, iirc. But for being fan made? They are really good. Also, what @House suggested. Yep. Those are all great movies.

The newer Dawn of the Dead is my favorite Romero movie. I'd highly suggest it. Another great post apocalyptic movie is the Postman with Kevin Costner. Really good watch. I Know there are a few others but I can't think of 'em right now. One of my favorite movies is called A Boy and His Dog, which was a huge influence for the Fallout game series. However, it's EXTREMELY low budget and from the 70s, so it's not spectacular visually, but the storyline is original and had a pretty twisted ending. And finally, since I brought it up... There is a Fallout fan made series called Nuka Break. It's got a decent budget for being a fan film and it's pretty entertaining. If you haven't seen it already, and like Fallout, then do yourself a favor and look up the two seasons (and the two "spin offs") on YouTube. Hope at least one of these suggestions helps. Happy watching.

Yeah, I'm pretty much right up there with ya, V. Can't be bothered to find interest in this community or the games. I'd say, I hope to see you around, but uh... I'll probably talk to you again in like five minutes, lol.

Original Lore by Voedric and Satan

Most of the ideas YOU put toward our lore? You literally stole pretty much EVERYTHING, and just changed ideals, names, details... WHAT... How are you okay with stealing my shit? Jesus, Autumn. Are you kidding me? I'm sorry, but you should not be apart of a staff team with the attitude you have. You claimed that you were going to leave the LiF staff team after everything was established, while barely helping establish anything whatsoever. And then you went on to claim that you were NOT going to leave the team "out of spite" after we decided to give up on your lack of management as a team leader. That is not something a mature and genuine staff member would EVER claim. Ever. And what ideas? You contributed the ideas of "northmen" as Slavards. The rest was us. You had very little participation in the work. Good things take time, and I wanted to write something that was both vague and intrinsic. You are absolutely twisting words by saying "It took three weeks to write the lore". No, it took us a few days to write it (after brainstorming), but the rest of the team had no contributions, agreements or opinions WHATSOEVER to share, even though we had been sharing the Google Document for days upon days. Volke was busy with his table-top games, Helix and Randle were absolutely non-existent... and you? I have no idea where you were. College? Sure. I get it. I work full-time, but I still made time. We were supposed to be writing the lore, Voedric and I, while the rest of the team was to establish other facets, such as the spawn town. We had so much work done, and the basics ready to review, discuss and establish amongst the team. But no one else except Voedric and myself were putting in effort during our free time. We asked you all MULTIPLE times to at least review our work. We asked you all multiple times to jump IN-GAME itself to review our ideas and the spawn town. And did any of you? No. Instead of any contribution, people kept making excuses about participating in the project. And when the team leader himself decided to finally partake, he was upset about what ideas we'd come up with in his absence. Autumn, I said multiple times: "Let's focus on the solution, not the problem." I said this SEVERAL TIMES. I said, "We can rectify. Let's focus on the solution!" I said this again, and again, and again, and again. Until I gave up. Voedric and I worked hard, tried our best, and presented our best possible work (we aren't professionals, mind you) to the team. The rest of the team was indifferent, but in the end? We scrapped it because the Team Leader was unsatisfied, and became upset when we said, "What do you want us to say? No one else has put any effort in at all." And then you try and hijack the work I've put into this project? Nope. - User was warned for this comment - /endPOV

So you guys pretty much took everything we wrote and just subtly changed the details and wording. Nice. 10/10. Also, to the dude that called it a picture book. What has changed?

Short but sweet. Pretty cool to see how it actually happened.

My apologies entirely. My comments were uncalled for and the only excuse I have is that I had a rough 12 hour day with a client who spat in my face and nearly ripped my sweater... And I came home and hit the bottle a little too hard. I was just projecting my frustration.. Lol. Pls forgive me.

Actually projection is.... that being said? This whole thread is a personal opinion regarding others' personalities, demeanor, and attitude. Nothing anyone ever posts is going to make an absolute revolutionary change around here----and to think so is just absolute folly and redundant naivete....and pure attention-whoring. These regurgitated and repetitively puked-out threads are the exact reason I don't take this community very seriously this last year, or so, and it's because of the perpetuation of this type of attitude that both influences newcomers, and drives age-old members away, is exactly why I don't even take many people seriously in this community as of late (anyone catch the redundancy factor? no? damn). But all things come and go in waves and torrents.

I don't think anyone realizes (or has re-acknowledged) the most basic and prominent factor that destabilizes long-range RP: Fucking vehicles. There'd be SO much more interaction if we weren't spending half our time pushing "W". We all know this. We all should recognize this. And yet, no one can help but put up these fucking threads about "Why RP sucks lately". Yes, this is just ONE factor, but it's a huge factor: It's pretty damn obvious we need commute to help accommodate the RP that occurs all around the map. I'm sure I speak for so many of us when I say that it just gets so boring to hold "W" for hours upon hours. Christ, if we even had a "auto-run" option, maybe there'd be a few less threads for us to roll our eyes at!
