Zip

We are slowly shifting from a CSGO community to a big Rust clan -- I actually like it.
We should do a vote for the leaders. Nominate the leaders for each category. And have three separate votes.
 
 
I nominate @Zip for Main Base Builder 

I honestly don't believe we need a specified leader tbh. I don't see any positive effects to having a single person back at main camp saying we need more rockets, we need more walls, pls go gather, here's who we're attacking tonight, etc. Input on what the village needs next is definitely important but I feel like that's something everyone can chime in on. If any disputes do happen to break out, I'm sure I and other neutral players like Trav and Junzou can mediate them.
 
I do agree on needing raid leaders though and our more experienced players can fill that role. Zerging gets chaotic real fast and we're totally going to need shot callers. I once teamed with Karma and some inexperienced players for a 10 man raid and teamspeak was awfully loud-- just imagine having 30+ people in there (which reminds me that we'll need to do some raiding boot camp before raiding [= ). Raid leaders can totally help alleviate that problem.
 
Gathering in my ideal camp would be done by everybody. With zergs back on sG Rust, I'd simply say how many rockets I gathered and made, another group would next, then the last group: from there we target the largest base that we believed we could take on with the pooled rockets. Splitting up loot has never been an issue as usually there's so much stuff to go around and I feel like this system would work on official as well; splitting up loot shouldn't be an issue at all since we're all on the same side now tbh.
As for the small stuff like components+materials, I feel like gathering squads would be the best way to go (unless you're just bored and wanna wander around gathering of course). With how populated official servers are, if you take more than a few steps outside your door then you're 100% going to find someone or someones. We can Walking Dead that shit: watch eachothers backs while they're gathering; safety in numbers. I'm not opposed to a dedicated gathering squad, but make sure at least one of you can kill people [=.
 
As for base defense, I do feel that if someone wants the walls of the village done a certain way then we can definitely have a base defense team that works on the wall design. Getting the village walled up will be a major milestone and the sooner we can get on that, the less time we have to run around trying to find a spot to settle without getting absolutely dicked on. We definitely need a person focused on the walls from the get-go -- it can even be with high ext. wooden walls since they're amazing in early game official.
 
 

on another note, 
 
if it's going to be a giant base, shit like this is probably gonna happen. (watch from 17:45 to 18:15)
the name of the player also really fits with who would probably do it
basically, attackers were all stuck when some idiot came in and let them all out freely, 0 game sense
 
but if we were to use multiple bases, i doubt any help would be given from other groups, lets say there was zip's base and karma's base, i don't think that they'd share any supplies even when asked to.

because shitters like u cant aim so you gotta make urself useful somehow no? 

i'd probably reinstall rust if it was on rustafied or something tbh.
 
no offense to our server, but you end up spending the entire week just building and farming while there's almost no PVP. the thing about servers like rustafied is that there is a large population who roam regularly so you actually find people to shoot outside of bases
 
a huge base isnt gonna go well though lmfao, i'd be able to trust the majority, but i feel like it'd be sabotaged by idiots like tacky, 
 
but then again tacky is a bot who can't aim so as long as we have someone on it'll be fine 

I was wondering if anyone was interested in starting up a compound on an official server after a wipe. Rather than us shooting eachother, we can all group up and take a world together as a huge zerg. It honestly sounds fun raiding with 20+ people, or chilling in a huge base that we all work on and sleep in together. We don't even have to be on at the same time: visiting the sG headquarters on an official whenever we're in the mood sounds dope AF. Mabey you're in the mood for official but don't want to start up solo -- our base would be the perfect home for anyone in this situation, which I personally have had in the past. Some players on our servers prefer to hop in, build for a few, then hop off; others like to constantly farm and raid. An sG base on an official server would work great for both playstyles. I know some people who play on our server are also playing on official on the side -- I think it'd be awesome if everyone instead banded together and ruled a server.
 
The one and only downside to this might be a small loss of playtime on our server, but like above, some people are already spending time on two servers so it might not even be a loss at all. Even if you don't have the time: I've seen plenty of people chill on our server until other groupmates pm that it's raid time on an official server -- a call to arms system like that should let you play on both servers just fine since being on for raiding time or defending a base from rockets are where the major fun of Rust is at. It also means people don't have to choose between playing the two servers and can just hop on the official server whenever something's going on. Rustafied (major official server host) has monthly wipe cycles as opposed to our weekly ones -- that's plenty of time to play on our server as well as an official one imo.
 
We've all been shooting at eachother for weeks now and there's been a lot of grudges growing between our own community members and friends. Others have 20+ friends shared on the map but aren't technically "teamed" with them (since we don't want 30 man clans on our 50 pop server). With everyone suddenly on the same side and our small world invading an official's, we can definitely mend some bridges and have a damn lot of fun while doing so. Leave a message below w/ your thoughts or if you're interested so we can get some beds going if we do decide to have a base on a server.
 
EDIT: We're likely going to start up the sG village base next official wipe, which will be February 2nd (Thurs). The server is still being decided on -- if you'd like to recommend one then please post below.

Get an 80 plus platinum PSU that provide what you need (eg don't buy a 1000W PSU when you need 500W. You want your PSU to operate at around 80% of its max. do you want modular? do you need single or dual 12V rails? pick a CPU  Understand what you're getting, if you dont know the difference between an i7, an i5, and an i3, why are you picking one? understand what hyperthreading is and whether you need it or not (you probably dont need it and if you have it you should disable it) understand which CPUs are unlocked and which are not AND why that matters or doesn't Pick a motherboard that has enough PCIe slots for you enough USB version X slots for you M.2? verify it's the proper M.2 slot for you (not all M.2 slots support a disk) enough memory to satisfy your requirements check if the chipset prefers dual or quad channel memory if not using an external sound card verify it meets your needs ENSURE THE BOARD HAS THE PROPER SOCKET FOR THE CPU IN STEP 2 KNOW WHAT KIND OF MEMORY THE BOARD REQURIES Buy memory that has good ratings Check timings, especially if you plan to OC check voltage, especially if you plan to OC check speed, especially if you plan to OC Pick a CPU cooler the included one is fine (with the included paste) for normal operation if you plan to OC, get some good thermal paste (i've always liked artic silver (i think it's up to 5 now??)) open loop water cooling vs closed loop water cooling vs air vs heat pipes vs thermoelectric, liquit nitrogen, healium, immersion, etc pick a graphics card  Ensure your monitors will plug into it, do you really want to introduce a single point of failure by using an adapter? Ensure it can plays the games you wanna play future use? cooling? do you need it to support liquid cooling? memory, how much do you need, why? power requirements? SLI/crossfire requirements disks Are you going to use a SATA HDD? SATA SSD? NVMe SSD?  the fastest NVMe SSD is 4-6x faster than the fastest SATA SSD which is 4-5x faster than the fastest SATA HDD do you want RAID? software raid is bad, don't waste your time, if you want raid (raid0 isn't real raid) buy a raid controller if you want NVMe do you have enough PCIe lanes to support full speed, if not are you OK with that? case <-- this is where you save money, not anything above here, ESPECIALLY NOT THE PSU ensure it's the appropriate size, too big of a case is bad for air circulation ensure you pull air in before you push air out use physics... convection already occurs, support it sound, support for radiators, proper size compatibility for your components (motherboard, length of video card, etc) peripherals <--this is also where you save money because a mouse is a mouse and a keyboard is a keyboard. you can always buy something better later.  
 
Where should you check reviews at? anandtech and tomshardware are great resources
 
When asking for help with your build
 
Post your budget Post your list of components that you already have access to (ie. from your old system, such as keyboard, mouse, monitor) Post what games you plan to play or if you plan to do 3D shit Post what is important to you in those games, such as 144fps at ultra, or instant loading of levels, etc. do your research using the first set of points.

I disagree. If the slay is already assigned to happen the next time he's alive, then he's paid his debt. Whether he pays it immediately or next time he's on is moot. What, you want him to wait the 3 seconds for the next round, just to leave? Fuck that, let him take the slay next time he's on.
