i never had access to anything. i was nice to people, i helped gather things, im not an autist and the illuminati (lol) gave me things i asked for. sorry this method of organization bothers you.

however, everyone getting angry at newbies to h1z1 can get hosed with a rusty rake though. seriously, calm down and take a newbie under your wing. help another nerd out.

idk, I though it was you/satan and one other guy who had access, maybe that was just satan and maniak? But yeah you've been helpful/maniak has been helpful, it was just a little obnoxious being told by <3-4 people no one else can be trusted even when I would personally be protecting their rooms all night/morning when no one else is on and had just put a bunch of duped ammo up in the chests for us to use. I don't think there is ever going to be a time when something like that doesn't annoy people. Unless you can imagine yourself handing over all of the good loot to me and letting me pick 2 other people to have access to it to hand out, it's a little retarded to expect me to be alright with others deciding to do the same. People are going to feel alienated by that kind of poo poo because it moves from community storage to Great Leader ration room. It'd honestly have bothered me less if those people just declared they had their own private stashes and they were willing to dupe good gear for goons, but instead it was more like.. well we've moved everything useful into a specific room a handful of us have access to, we'll let you pick something out if you behave.

I was on the fence about this game but if this is how the goon group is going to operate then gently caress that.

No one has any idea what Akumos is talking about. I think he is upset that every Goon isn't giving him the passwords to their rooms in the Goonfort so that he can rifle through all their stuff.

We had one communal setup at first but as things expanded people were picking rooms for themselves with their own passwords so that everything would stop instantly disappearing into the Goon masses or get robbed by pubs and I guess that's too exclusionary for him. I think we have a "dupe" room which basically no one has access to with an extra copy of everything so that if we accidentally run out of X thing we have a backup that no one can touch. Somehow this becomes "GOON ILLUMINATI IS loving ME".

His solution is apparently to set up his own room somewhere and not give anyone the password. :v:

lmao what? A few people literally setup a room they called "dupe room" and specified only a few people had access to protect goons from their own stupidity. This room had all of the useful guns/ammunition, and people had to ask permission to come inside and get their gear. To be fair there were enough people giving out the useful loot but it was still kind of awkward to have been duping for the camp one day and the next day I come on a few people declared themselves the only trustworthy people enough to horde the important items. It's honestly a super pointless debate at this point anyway because there is SO much loving duped gear/ammo out there that anyone can get you a set now to make your own stash, but the idea of it initially kind of threw me off because people were self appointing themselves the overseers of the camp, keeping the lowly peons away from their precious shekels.

Yeah I edited my post a sec ago since you are trying really hard to find insidious goonfucking where there isn't any. The "dupe room" is just a room with a copy of everything important because we keep accidentally running out of stuff so we need a backup. That's all that's happening. All the other rooms are private stashes people have.

No one stole away all the good loot to hide it from you- it all got used up so people had to go to the dupe room and make new stuff.

the best part is, i helped akumos setup his own stash of duped goods at goonfort two or three days ago just so he'd stop crying in mumble about it. i guess someone looted it all in a game about looting and here we are, typing about goonfucking or something. :cripes:

Yeah and this is part of the reason it annoyed me, I wanted to get my own set of gear so I could self-sustain instead of begging for loot and I had to listen to you being a condescending shithead the entire time because I was trying to explain why I just wanted one box of my own copies. You helped me but you were really obnoxious in the process, it was very audibly obvious you were annoyed by me for no reason. I don't want to deal with that poo poo, and it's why I thought you had access.

Apparently the people questioning if this is how the group operates are correct, because you're now admitting that me simply wanting access to a set of gear so I can self-sustain is "crying".. yeah, I'm sure glad we had to setup that system, I love that you forced me to ask permission for gear so you can make fun of me for asking for gear. :pwn:

my last post on the matter: akumos, i only started messing with you after the 4th time you said "well i feel like i should have [atleast 100 words describing your special snowflake setup]." you were talking over a mumble channel of about 15 other goons also trying to communicate and someone had to placate you or suffer your autism. i wasn't even being all that rude about it but okay, whatever.

I can stop after this too, but I don't really remember that at all, I'm pretty sure at the point we were doing that it was late into the night and people were pretty much done doing things. We were all just sitting around camp doing nothing, I wasn't interrupting important conversations, pretty sure that's just some imagined story. It's not like I asked you to log over to another character while you were raiding a camp and wouldn't shut up about it while others were coordinating something, there was nothing loving going on and you were still being a shithead about it. I probably repeated myself a few times because I wanted to explain my reasoning for making you go through the effort of duping gear for me, I didn't want it to seem pointless, I wanted to make it clear from that point I'd be keeping my own loot in check and wouldn't have to bother anyone else, god knows I didn't want to have to loving deal with people being whiny about me just talking about it anymore. Unfortunately this was before I knew you could just drop poo poo and relog, at this point we were still shooting each other in the head, otherwise I'd have just grabbed a bit of each and stopped talking and duped myself everything.

Why the gently caress is "autism" being redefined as "talking about any topic in-depth/analyzing an issue"? I get that it's funny to say sometimes but it feels like you seriously have to pretend every thread is some GBS shitposting thread now or you're autistic.

Holy poo poo this nerdrage over communal loot in an Alpha Early Access game is so loving good.

Most likely after sleeping bags are implemented Goontana is going to became less "giant Dick shaped tower for us to ERP in" and more Shantytown. Every goon wants their own stash so no goddamn newbie immigrants can steal their water bottles while they jack it to a poster of Ayn Rand. It doesn't change that we will still meet up to keep the peace of Pleasant Valley.

Relax nerds. None of this poo poo right now is sustainable or matters. Sorry a goon triggered your inferiority complex. Go shoot a pubbie.

On a related note I really don't see why you guys think it is necessary to stay up all night and defend the base from endless waves of reddit glitchers. I understand you don't want to lose your hard-fought dupes but reality is people will always be attacking us while we sleep. No one should be required to be on 24/7 watch, its just impossible.

We appreciate the effort for sure and it made some great 8 vs 1 youtube videos, but I don't think any one would be mad if you just called it a night like the rest of us.

Keep what you need to have on your character when you log, use your stash as temporary storage for when you are actually out in game doing things.

Don't expect your little house on the prairie won't get broken into, because it will. Building a foundation high off the ground is paramount if you want to avoid people glitching into your base, but this won't help against someone who has 5 minutes to waste bashing your door down with an axe.

e: also, why is Akumos complaining about not having his own stash of dupes when gear basically means nothing right now? who cares, just get a shotgun and shoot people.

Hey Akumos, tip for the future. Goons are generally fun cool people, if you're nice to them and just do what you can without whining that will 99% of the time get you more than you could ever want in a game like this. If you beg for handouts and make forums drama constantly nobody is going to want to do things for you.

It's pretty obvious my problem is with people self appointing their cliques the overseers of goon camps, not items. It just happens that as soon as duping was discovered, every useful gun was immediately shoved into their personal storage to be duped for them to hand out to people when they felt like it, instead of continuing to supply the community chests, even though goons would sit around all day defending them. Yeah, people would take too much poo poo out and waste it, but more people could've just started duping to spam more full chests of gear in there instead of playing dictator simulator where one guy is controlling the most important room in the base and deciding who gets to have gear or not. Basically what I'm saying is, what the gently caress was the point of gathering goons if they're just going to horde everything to hand out? It seemed like it was supposed to be a community effort to defend and share, there was a point where they literally had people form a single file line to take gear and be checked for what was being carried out. It was like the loving apocalypse TSA.
