Best of luck to you amigo, if you ever need an extra hand or a guardian angel to watch over you Mad Vlad is your guy!

Where was it? Which guy were you?

I've been giving my wife lectures about how FB is destroying the world for too long to give in now. :D

I probably will be tomorrow - I play a lot during the US work day

A little north of Staroye, I was the guy in black who checked you against the "bandit list".

As I do not have a Twitter account, never have had one, nor plan to acquire one; I figured that would be sufficient reason to not whitelist me. I can understand why they would want such information and social media connection, especially for player identification and good character judgment. There are a lot of weirdos out there, and assuming they use Facebook as a means of filtering those out, it can be effective for some... But not all. And there are plenty of people, such as yourself Mr Cherno Farmer and MadVlad (at one time, I suppose) who definitely fit the whitelist criteria, however not the prerequisite of Facebook accounts.
On a different scale, though used as a metaphor : Kind of like a very well skilled and educated doctor, with a voided medical license who is unable to legally perform duty. Sorry if that didn't make sense, but my mind wanders.
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

That is crazy, man! I made it all the way to within sight of the police station in Cherno and got sniped in the back. :D

Wow, honestly I wanted to give you an escort but we were enroute to get some goodies and I had to log shortly after.

You've got some balls my man, trying to farm by the cherno PD is a self imposed death sentence!

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.

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.
