Let's play DayZ like the sandbox it is!

I have a new vision of a clan. I've thought about it for a while and have finally decided get this started and share with the DayZ community.

I have created a Steam group/guild/clan for DayZ Standalone for those who wish to play the game in depth rather than the simple current trend of "gear up and go kill".

BUT! This is not a traditional "Uhh, yeah, we game really hard, bro. Don't mess with us" type clan.

I envision a full survival-life group where all of us good-hearted apocalypse survivors of the DayZ Subreddit and beyond can congregate on any ole server, any ole time, and have a blast playing the game with some depth.

This is almost a role playing style group, but instead of always being in character, we can just do whatever we please. Either or.

The option to talk with a neighbor about the "recent zombie herd that rolled thru Gorka laying waste to almost all other survivors who lived within the town"...

--OR--

...last night's butt-clenching game between the Pats and Broncos that was sent to OT by a lucky 48 yard field goal by Gostkowski is entirely up to you as a player.

We will decide on a specific city, have the city blueprints on file, and keep track of where each individual in the group claimed as a home!

People could farm and set up a trade post with apples, berries, wild game meat, commonly useful items, etc.

Also, being on random servers, threats from outside the town could present themselves at any time. Maybe a KOS clan stumbles across our humble town and starts a firefight. That's the real time, unexpected gameplay that really gets the adrenaline rushing in this game. Threats are ever present.

These threats could lead to us creating (entirely voluntary) community jobs such as town guards, zombie killers, and the like.

We will literally operate as close to a real community as possible!

We could even set up something like daily, weekly, etc gathering times so a large number of us could populate a server at once!

Constructive suggestions are always welcome as we get this ball rolling.

PS: I wrote this on an iPhone, so it probably has an annoyingly weird look to it on a computer. Sorry.
