There is also the Reddit Rescue Force - Although only trust who they are if you are talking with them on their teamspeak. http://www.reddit.com/r/RedditRescueForce/new/

While jogging in the Northern Lands near NWAF I got the Red Message of Restart. Feeling brave I decided to enter into the rich weapon fields of Air Field. Coming from the north is a slightly different experience in that if you spot someone it will likely be when they're in spitting distance from you. Also just as dangerous is that I generally roll without an exposed weapon (Rifle/Shotgun/Melee weapon - in other words concealed stuff only) to hopefully minimize the 'shoot armed guys' mentality some players hold as a... creed I guess. So far I'm lucky with just Zed keeping me company but apart from a Ballistic Helmet and some rounds for my FNX45 there is not much making this trip worth the while. However that is just from the northern tents and barracks, rolling the dice I delve into the airstrip proper with fencing trenches between every gold mine. Now just a reminder, the server hasn't been reset for no more then 15 minutes and Zed walking around means the Players ain't. Just as I round a line of sheet metal I spy something that stops me in my tracks, a door wide open. I'll never know if the person inside was friendly or not, I turned right around and ran like hell with my head staring fixed at the building till the hillside ate it up. (Not the most brilliant story but kinda crazy that its one of the most memorable for me in a game where a player can take you out from across a valley and you never know hes there)

Hello all, While listening to the recap of the DayZ showdown of Vanaman vs Moss in DayZ the Idle Thumbs guys talked about the idea of other games. (Also, believe it was mentioned there was already talk in the forums on this topic but after searching around a bit I was unsuccessful in discovering it so apologies if I'm double posting) The two ideas I can think of right now are Trouble in Terrorist Town and Dark Business. TTT is a gamemode of Garry's Mod in which the power of the game comes from player interaction and especially VoiP. -Short version is its the tabletop game Mafia in video game form. -Long Version is you are all Terrorists models from the game Counter Strike. At the start of each round a percent of players are Traitors while the rest are 'Innocent Terrorists' (or sometimes 1 or 2 Detectives who aid the Innocent). The goal of each round is for the Innocents to figure out who among them are Traitors before the Traitors in turn kill all the Innocents. Synopsis for another Least Dangerous Game While I think this is a game the Idle Thumb guys (as well as the community) will enjoy the rounds last 5-7 minutes and streaming would reveal your designated team. However as a game with friends all using the in game voice chat or even using a 3rd party voice program it creates an experience similar to one you'd get in DayZ of "Is this guy wanting to kill me" ---------------------------------------- The other idea that would probably be a big hit but requires some organization is Dark Business. It is a three team face-off centered around some hostages and an ammo truck and is put to great effect in the ArmA series. Two of the teams (say Red and Green) are trying to meet at a place of mutual decision to trade some Hostages for an Ammo Truck, however both sides may make an attempt to keep both instead of trading! To throw a curve ball into this already tense trade-off the Blue team are trying to just rescue the hostages (who given the option want to be saved by Blue rather then traded to be prisoners of Red). To top it all off the traditional encounter takes place at night where the Blue team have nightvision with a helicopter for transport and the Red and Green team have trucks with flashlights (and headlights). One final note while the Green and Red team are matched in number of players the Blue team is halved in players if not more. (Say 12R v 12G v 6B) Synopsis for another Least Dangerous Game With some adjustment, this could be an super fun encounter in DayZ (maybe when they add Vehicles). The dynamic between the three teams and the hostages have made some pretty unique results (for example a hostage hijacking a truckload of armed Green Soldiers because the driver got out first). This could also be done in ArmA 2 or 3 but not sure if it would be a good fit for the Idle Thumbs community (happy to be proven wrong) In closing, would you like to see another Least Dangerous Game and if so one of these, or perhaps one that you've just thought of? Discuss!

Hey all, I do the Daily Challenge usually every day though not recording it. If you want to add me on the steams the name is Thurble in the Idle Thumbs group. Also, this link should work -> http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197976873337/

I think that was me...? Did the person threaten to leave you handcuffed if you couldn't name 2 of the hosts of Idle Thumbs and then proceed to lead you around town because he didn't have keys? Quieter then the server I used to play on but hoping the interactions will be more entertaining then the 'shoot first' mentality of most.

Hello! Started listening (I think) near the end of 2012 and brushed up with the thumbs community enough to make me decide I should start posting on here from time to time. Hope you all are doing well and keep being awesome.
