We have voted. You don't get to know the result.

In all seriousness, we spent hours doing tedious rear end duping in this buggy game so those who just wanted to roll out as a pack and purge the town could, and we had a loving blast doing that. The duping room and master copies were simply so we could keep supplying everyone with whatever they needed or wanted, so they could enjoy the game in its current state as all the loot was.. nonexistent. If you're upset about everything disappearing, it's because we would break ammo into stacks, but people would take all the stacks, and within minutes 10k+ rounds for the .223 were gone, and over 1500 shotgun shells were gone. People would grab poo poo, run out, die, repeat.

That was the point of the locked room. So we always had copies to make more. I gave 6 people the code to the door, and we always let people in, and we made sure at least one of us was there to let people in constantly. This limited how quickly everything would disappear.

If you have issues with people self-appointing or people giving orders and others following them, then go elsewhere. If we self-appoint and give orders to organize anything and people want to follow, it shouldn't bother you. Unless you want to be the leader. If so, then lead.

But you can't, because the Goon Illuminati has decided.

How are you guys glitching walls/gates w/o relogging?

Edit: Oh wow, all the plebs left (Reddit). They moved servers due to QQing about the wall glitch exploit. I'll keep my small crew about to fight you guys but I was hoping the larger pleb group would stay to have sheep to kill.

If you mean the base we raided just a little while ago I ran in what looked like an open hole in the wall and shotgunned the two people defending inside. Then as the others came up behind me they were like "how the gently caress did you get inside???" because they were stopped at a gate that I couldn't see and therefore could pass right through. I waited while they hacked down the gate then we hacked our way inside the rest of the way with axes.

Yeah I figured it was a bug with the game. Sometimes player structures don't load for me either. These guys are QQing that you're all hackers and exploiters, loving plebs. Anyhow they're all off the server, great raid on Zimms then. I hope you guys caught it on video.

also a reminder again - don't care about your stuff

do you have a gun and ammo? sweet - go hog wild with that poo poo
do you not? make a bow, maybe make a spear and kill pubbies and take their stuff

or at least hurt them really badly so someone else kills them

I don't think anyone cares, but if you expect to not get shot on sight by goons, make sure you're in the Mumble.

Yeah, I was hoping they'd be a rival group and we'd see a war going on. (I'd still bet on goons winning that, but at least it'd be fun).

edit: alternatively they're playing on little hotel if you want to go do an away mission to roll them there.

man you should play and just, like, do whatever you want

goons won't give you poo poo if you don't want to share

the only thing is, we kill pretty much everyone we see including sometimes goons because there is the cry of "IS X A GOON?"

and if you aren't in there and the few goons who know you for a goon for a fact don't respond, they just will think you are a pubbie and kill you

so basically just get on mumble if you want to not be killed on sight by goons because there isn't really a good way to tell

In the brief time that I got to play this the other day, beating down bow-wielding pubbies with a branch was pretty effective.

Also, I'm amazed at some people getting worked up about gear in a game where you are likely to die several times in a session and also in a game where everything will probably be wiped a billion times. :shrug:

Had some more time to play this. I found a town and went into a police station. While I was checking weapon lockers, someone sneaked behind me and shot an arrow at me. Missed, resulting in me hitting him with a stick while he took aim again. He dashed upstairs and I gave chase. Right as I closed in on him, he shot me in the face with an arrow. If this sounds familiar to anyone, I was shirtless and only looking for a good time.

ITT: People mad about loot when you can literally PVP as effectively with a bow compared to any projectile weapon.

I never had a problem getting gear from Maniak, satan, or anyone else, all I had to do was ask if I needed something. I also brought back parts we needed for duping, because the system worked.

You just have to keep an open heart and mind -- EVERYTHING I stored in camp got used by other goons but unless it was on my character, I thought that was the point of goonionism. I stored it precisely because I didn't need it at the time, and re-equipping after dying takes exactly 45 seconds.

I think people put too much emphasis on the base. If basing was needed in H1Z1 for personal reasons, we'd all have towers like we did in Rust, where we had communal stuff set up and no one cared. TBH, if Satan and maniak want to spend hours duping gear for loving everyone, just be grateful, take your handouts, and get back to killing pubbies.

Manufactured drama in games with goons is stupid, especially when, lets be honest, leading content with goons (speaking from experience) is such a loving thankless job, made insufferable by an ever present autistic, vocal minority posting on threads and crying on mumble when 98% of goons are having fun with each other. So if you don't like things in camp, you can raid with me, or kindly just gently caress off and make your own ghetto and run it your way.

I'm also sad if reddit is totally gone. I was hoping for some major competition and farming.

Oh well.
