This particularly annoys me, I would have definitely tried to make my way over there had I thought you'd be KOS'd so instantaneously. That's bullshit.
Excuse me.

Seems like they'd do one or the other. I'm a professional commodities trader, and my twitter feed is pretty personal - lots of info on there. But, it's their server/their money/their rules - I'm just some schmo living in their world. :D
As sad to say as it is, you're completely right. They run the show, and whether or not we benefit from it doesn't really directly affect them. Its all how they mentally feel rewarded by their player's level of satisfaction.
I'm not saying it's sad. They pay the bills, they make the rules. That's the way the world works.
You're right, I was viewing it a wee bit more cynically than I should have, I presume. My apologies.

If there weren't psychos laying around murdering people, there'd be no tension. I, personally, will typically only murder well-geared teams; but, as little as I like running for 15 minutes to get killed for my sack of fertilizer, if I didn't think there was risk, I'd get bored.

You've got some balls my man, trying to farm by the cherno PD is a self imposed death sentence!
It's not that hard, honestly. The wall protects you from behind, the 3PP lets you look over it, the trees give you decent cover form the silos if you keep your eye on them, the hospital roof has a fov, but not great.

Honestly, the hard part is getting back to Cherno - and finding supplies there - as it is picked over. I died more today trying to get to Cherno (died 4 of 6 times I was attacked - twice within 5 minutes of spawning) than I did inside its limits (died 2 of 8 times - and 5 of those wins, I prevailed against firearmed opponents with only my ice axe or brass knuckles) .

Granted, that's still 6 deaths, but it was fun. What else am I gonna do? Go get geared up and murder teams? Go hide 18 barrels in the woods and fill them with SVDs and AUGs and FNXs? Go look for other peoples' camps and leave dirty limericks in their tents? Put together offroads and give them away to the first person I pass? I must have 1500 hours in game; I've done it all. Gotta keep it fresh.
I respect your enthusiastic approach when it comes to trying new endeavors and especially difficult, challenging tasks. Setting up a farm in Cherno (heavily visited) on US-1 (heavily bandited) seems almost a recipe for disaster. However, I have not lost all faith in humanity and its ability to surprise. I also believe that the fact that what you are doing is so challenging, makes it much more rewarding. Assuming you successfully become the prolific farmer of Cherno, you would have a tremendous trade operation and social gathering. A particular attempt like such, could end up leading to an event, maybe a gathering of people who share common interests might find similar hobbies.

There is much to do in the game besides kill, and I think that players such as yourself, striving for excellence and dynamic situations are what will keep things from complete anarchy. Being a socially rounded player, with only positive intentions seems to be an unorthodox sight, on US-1.

Well, that didn't take long. Got back to Cherno this morning. Maybe 12 people on the server. Someone shot me form cover before I'd finished digging my plot. Seriously have to wonder about people who stone-cold murder a guy trying to grow pumpkins. :D

Some people have zero imagination.

This is the most fun I've had with DayZ in months. We've had inside jobs, revenge killings, friendly fire. The whole deal. If you're ever in Cherno and see me on the server, come on by the PD. If I'm not there, I will be soon.

And if you're coming to kill me, grow a brain. I almost feel bad picking off the chumps who climb the hospital or silos trying to shoot me. Almost.

Today we grew 27 pumpkins, more tomatoes than I can count, 27 zucchinis, killed 12 would be assassins, and I died twice (after my initial morning murder, that is) - both by the same guys. :D

P.S. If you're gonna come hunt me, you could at least bring some loot to put in the barrel - do you know how hard it is to gear up using only Cherno? I've never taken so much time with shots in my life!

P.P.S. The ice axe is also much appreciated.

You're the man, undeniably. I'll be headed to cherno at some point just to stop by and witness this miracle!

And maybe barter some ammo for them tasty tomatoes!

No barter here. My food is there for anyone. Heck, I even wind up giving away most of my guns and ammo - probably a tactical error, but it keeps the adrenaline pumping to know I have to charge your hiding spot, ice axe in hand, screaming "WITNESS ME BROTHERS" over my mic. :D Also, When I ice axe their head, I usually come away with a nice pile of ammo - unlike when I shoot.

Haha, I knew you were a special guy when we came across you out in that field. I definitely need to link up with you and "witness" the cherno farming spectacle!
