I don't have an account. Did the stream work?

[[JiF]Mike]

It did for a little bit. Do you need an account to view it? I didn't really test it, just set it up and played lol... When we were getting kicked for high ping I turned it off, it didn't matter.

I love following this thread but dont have the game or a computer that is capable of playing it. What I struggle with is understanding the point? Are there objectives or missions or is it just a case of survival? How come you describe others as bandits? Are you guys bandits in their eyes?

The point is to survive.
The scoring system seems to be mostly broke or I don't understand it:)
Everyone starts out as a survivor. What happens next depends on your actions.
If you help people you can become a hero if you murder people you become a bandit.

You get points based on what you do.
Kill zombies you get points.
Kill bandits you get points.
Give blood to survivors you get points.
You have a humanity score if you get high enough you become a hero. Low enough a bandit.

If you murder a certain amount of survivors you become a bandit. Then I think you get points for killing survivors.

To quote a phrase I heard by a good friend "We pick things up and put them down"

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Yep, that's pretty much it

I forgot about the account creation thing they now require at Livestream.... Have to find a new service I guess...

Here is the correct link. This is for my old account which does not require an account.

Corey and I worked all night (sadly true)! We ended the night(morning) with some new toys and gear.

[[JiF]zougathefist]

Mike,

do you capture the streams for youtube or is it only whilst you are playing?

[[JiF]Mike]

I've been having issues getting it to work consistently the way I want. I did originally have it working with the new livestream, but in order to view it you would need an account. The account is free, but, you have to sign up. I'll probably end up switch back to that one today, the old system that doesn't require an account but isn't working right. I wish they would have left it alone! It use to be easy.

I mostly just stream live, but I did install Fraps to capture the two screen shots. I could capture video too.

I was looking on some wikis and they said that the tent has a certain number of items that can be put in there by type.

10 guns/tools
50 general items
5 backpacks

It also said that if you die and you placed a tent in that life that it will disappear after 7 days from the time of death or after a server restart.

This is the wiki I found it on:

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Well that explains it

[[JiF]Mike]

That Heli we fixed up holds 17 people! How great would it be to fill it up and raid a few towns lol.

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Sweet. I don't think we can get 17. If we beg maybe 8 on the weekend
Only ones I know beside the regulars are Jimbo and Doc, but we could try and bribe them.
Oh and maybe Pop's son too.
Would be cool just to have a gang for a few hours.

Back to the other livestream... You need to create an account to view the stream, no ads though.
