Anyone thought of just using the hover over a player to show name option? Seems like it would solve an awful lot of problems. Or am I missing something that is inherently broken with this and/or too noob friendly for this server?

Those bastards blew my head off when I tried hopping on a bike.
Don't discount the awesomeness of a bicycle.
i LOVE my bicycle. the thing does 90 downhill and is silent. I pulled up within 3 feet of paqman who had no idea where i was without him shooting me... luckily i recognized it was paqman so i didnt KoS.
the social interactions.../failure to interact are what makes the game. If you want u can get a water bottle, a gun, knife, hatchet, matches... and go camp one of the lakes and live there until Arma 5 releases... but as a loner u miss out on the most interesting parts: the social game.
lol that was so close, I was hopping between channels to verify it was you and was like PAQMAN DON'T SHOOT HES FRIENDLY but he couldn't see you anyway

By that time he should have known that Anesthetic was TL. We however were completely clueless that it was Tofu. Anesthetic gets killed and Tofu loots our bodies. At this point in time he is killing us with malevolent intentions, even though he is completely aware that we are TL. Instead of leaving his private channel to chat and clear things up, he runs off with my SVD (one of the rarest guns in the game).
The next thing that really pisses me off is that Tofu took this all a step further, and hid our bodies so that we couldn't retrieve the rest of our gear that he didn't steal.
So he steals one of the rarest guns in the games and runs back to his truck. He apparently gets killed by an unknown and THAT'S when he finally decides to come up to public chat and talk to us.
So, TL;DR We accidentally killed P4. I did the dance to show Tofu that I was friendly. Tofu intentionally kills us. Tofu loots our bodies (with no intention of returning our gear, even though we would have gladly returned P4's gear). Tofu then hides our bodies so that we cant retrieve whatever he left behind. Tofu runs off to his truck. Tofu then proceeds to get killed by some stranger. Then Tofu finally joins the pub chat to ask for help.

Please don't make accusations that TLers are acting maliciously towards other TLers without good evidence, because it is really really unlikely that is whats going on.
His first hint that I was TL was when I was dancing while he was pulling out his secondary to shoot. His second hint that we were TL was that when I died, it said "Paqman was killed". He steals the SVD, hides the bodies, and doesn't talk to us until after he gets gunned down. During that whole time we were unaware that he was TL until he came into our chat.
I think that he did act maliciously.
GO FUCK YOURSELF
tofu is clearly not a dick.
also we dont use the hoverover names because that shit is broken and abused as shit.
You can point ur nonshouldered gun at a hill 1000 meters away and if u point at him it will say "OMG THERE IS A PERSON THERE" in bigass green letters... kinda ruins a lot of the shit in the game.
anyways wtb vehicles when u guys xfer off completely... we got tents... and guns... but we dont really wanna trade our 4-5 50 cal's as they are still rare for us.

yeah its retarded because you can see people from way out with it even if you didn't notice them. Some servers still implement it but it seems to be rare.

Lol it was like pitch black and My gamma was down. I was freaking out that entire time trying to find out what direction the noise was coming from and I had no idea Maestro was right behind me.

ya lolol i was like 10 feet behind u, prone behind a rock... i walked up on u after dismounting the bike but u were staring the other way and went prone so i decided to hop on TS and take the risk of getting killed.

Well, tofu can be a bit dickish at times. However, the sooner we put this behind us the better I think.

Damn that sucks. Played on a server with a buddy this weekend that uses it. I wish they could find a way to make it effective but not so broken. Oh well, let the team killing continue! :p

LOL i ran over carmon on the bike...he took like 5k damage and went into shock... didnt even break a leg tho... my dream is still to have some1 ride the handlebars as i drive around the NW airfield slaying people/zombies.
this was before i knew that going downhill on a bike is literally impossible to stop... and i was doing 90+ zigzagging in and out of trees on Green mountain and drilld him as he passed between 2 trees... was dieing laughing/screaming in TS as i was flying down the mountain trying not to drill a tree...instead i drilled carmon.

I dont think so, but you can collapse a small tent as one of the more clumsy members of our group found out....
u can... and u can run over tents... i smashed one of my own tents that way when i was trying to wiggle the bike out of a tree... i dont hide my bike at the same tree as my tent anymore.

What we should do is Take the Bus and Drive to northwest with like some AKs and Empty back packs and loot that shit. Then head to Elektro or Cherno with Mr. Spartacus providing some cover fire with his 50. While we loot the hospital then hop in and get gone. That would definitely be epic.
Though tofu told me last night that when he had the bus it blew up to Zombies cause its weak as hell. We could call it the death bus.
We could also just roam south picking up fresh spawns and giving them a ride lmao.

Me, dark, mani and jochan. The 1337 sniper cherno team lol. We can lock that place down ezpz
Also in regards to the Unicorn aka L85. Nick just confirmed it's still in tent after I put it in there last night. So it might be that right now the only way to keep the gun is to place it in a tent after your finished with it instead of keeping it on your person. Im gonna do some more looking around the forums since L85's, camo, and ghillie suits where basically affected by the same problem in the code.

we have a lot of as50s and m107s, I don't think more than 10 total but definately more than 5. I think maybe mk48s and 50 cal ammo, as well as tents. I don't speak for everyone in the group when i say that though but I'm pretty sure we don't need as50s (nvgs and rangefinders would probably be good also)
