By the way, if any of you guys still play DayZ, check out this server:

You can just do a filter inside the DayZ server search engine for jupiter and it should be the only server that pops up. It's a private hive server, so your loadout is independent to the server and will not follow you anywhere else. This means that, generally, the same group of people play there. The server is going to implement a white list to prevent hacking, so only people on the white list can get in. If you want to play there, go to the forum link above and apply for the white list. I'm not sure exactly when the list will go into effect, but I gather the admin is waiting for more people to apply before he goes forward with it.
My group (of three) is currently at war with another group (of eight). They basically tried to hoard all of the choppers and military vehicles on the map, and frequently would fly around in one of the attack choppers and gun down people who had no means of fighting back. They were doing this anonymously, but I figured out which guys were doing it pretty quickly just by process of elimination. I didn't really care for their tactics, but I also didn't really mind because they were leaving me alone. Then they killed me and shit was on.
I spent about an hour hiking through the northern part of the map until I found their camp (idiots are predictable). They had six choppers and three of those huge military trucks, all of which were filled with tons of weapons and other loot. One of their guys bragged that they had collectively spent 250 hours over the past week collecting choppers, vehicles, and loot. It took me significantly less time to destroy everything. My friend that I play with the most left for a business trip to Atlanta, so I was on my own. Still, it's pretty easy to destroy choppers by yourself. Just take off, fly to a reasonable height, and eject. You parachute safely to earth while the chopper spins out and craters. I did this with four of the choppers (saving the sixth to take me somewhere else; the fifth was out of fuel) and then went about trying to figure out what to do with the trucks.
Thankfully one of them had thought it a good idea to put satchel charges in one of the trucks (did I mention they were stupid?). I put those satchel charges to good use, using two of them on the trucks and the third on the chopper without fuel. I flew the final chopper away to safety. I eagerly await joining the server later when they are all inside.
Anyway, if anyone feels like joining the battle, I can hook you guys up with some good weapons. Just log in and look for Jack Brickman. I'll probably have a bounty on my head. Two days ago they were offering an AS50 to whoever killed me, and that was before I destroyed their camp.
