I unfortunately will be moving house that day, but would love to see us get a 4 or 6 man crew together.

Who's keen? We'd also need a designated leader for the team, who will need to attend a leader briefing prior to the event.

As some of you might have seen on the news Christchurch (where Yetti and I live) got hit by a 7.1 magnitude quake on Friday night, the likes of which has never been felt here (and only topped once, 75 years ago, by a 7.8 which killed heaps of people in 1935).

Our city is fucked lol. My house is trashed. The streets are like graveyards and there is a curfew in the city, with the army being called out.

Im in the mall now, they're letting staff in. Jeeezus theres some destruction. Im quickly using the net just to say hi and we all good, talked to Yetti last night and hes fine.

We cant flush our toilets and have no drinking water, however we are lucky and got our power back on, as much as 20% of the city still doesnt even have that.

Ill upload some pictures and video ive taken with my cell when ive got time, some epic destruction. Its all over the news, were in a state of civil emergency and theres fun little messages broadcasting on the tv etc

As some of you might have guessed I live for shit like this :) Yes its annoying, but actually I wish it had been 9 and not 7.1...so I could shoot me some looters ;) There was a bit of looting but nothing that bad, but the city was on fire hard out yesterday (will upload pics later) and theres still sirens continuously going all over my neighborhood. We're still getting regular aftershocks, id say 15-20 a day without exaggeration...some as big as 4 or 5 on the Richter scale, and the news says we should prepare for a big one that could be up to 1 magnitude lower than the original (and 6.1 is nothing to scoff at). The 7.1 we had here is the same magnitude as the one in Haiti i told....

Im gunna go get some bottled water from the supermarket then piss off back home. Might not hear from me for a few days, ill post some pics and an update on Tuesday when I get back into work....

lol literally as I type this a good 3 or 4 just rocked the whole mall hard out for about a second...we're told this could go on for WEEKS

No server modline restrictions or requirements: server will be setup as pure vanilla.

Comms will be on Aus ARMA TS3 at 202.62.137.195:9987 - the ZSU channel is at the bottom of the list (do not use the ZSU TS3 server). Public users are expected to join TS3 (in game text will indicate this, and ZSU members should indicate to new players to do so via text box if they don't promptly).

FTLs will need to setup whispers between themselves.

Note: latest version of Insurgency has options for a number of initial base locations, plus quite a few other changes.
