I think KOS should be highly discouraged, but permitted in the
context of decent gameplay (not griefing).
There are few occasions where it would be useful (stealing
loot), and because the penalty it not that big of a deal I don't
see any major problems with it...

I agree - I like the challenge or creating a base for myself to
deal with Zombies and an occasional PVP when someone approached
my territory lets say - What about the suggestion between each
other that we dont just destroy locked chests to be spitefull to
one another?
If they happen to be unlocked then sure by all means loot away
if somone want to be that careless
KOS just for the sake of killing anyone when you see them will
escelate quickly I believe and creat allot of animosity on a
server that appears to be developing into quite a nice little
haven for the player who wants to really enjoy all aspects of
the game

Rather than chucking out nuclear bombs as soon a neighbor comes
over the hill, I envision a more conventional nature to the
combat possibilities. Groups or individuals should be able to
"declare war", so to speak (provided the other group or
individual agrees), which might result in some delightful player
skirmishes, while limiting headaches for players who just want
to enjoy the game without looking over their shoulder every time
they are out collecting plants.

I too don’t think we should just be shooting each other all the
time but I do like to PVP sometimes. What if we set up a zone
for PVP or once or twice a month had a full pvp weekends where
all gloves were off for 48 hrs. , or how about we say all air
drops are pvp centered meaning they are free game to kill on
sight and fight for the boxes. Just some thoughts, I like PVP
but don’t want to be constantly in fear of getting sniped.

Some good ideas Spider. I really like the idea of airdrops being
PVP area's by default as ppl will be clamoring to get to those.
I do plan on scheduling weekly and special events soon. Also, I
would like to add some prefabs to the server down the road as
well, such as underground sewers and the like. I always have
open ears to suggestions to better the server and will always
put big changes to a vote first.

Just of curiousity regarding GZ’s history and development was
this vote, before the north-south split? When was the split
implemented?

Yes, this was before. We had first flirted with using stop signs
to mix PvE in an otherwise PvP server but it did not work well.
I first started the discussion about a split-map setup back in
February, 2015. I think we started it about a month or so later.
Here was the original discussion:

Thanks for the background, Madman. Your post announcing the
server split is interesting to read in comparison to current
rules and gameplay. It's easy to miss simple things when you
join the community a few years in and when the game is regularly
being updated...even simple things like better understanding how
the server got the name Ground Zero (cool, btw). I also think
its thought-provoking to read some of the feedback posts, given
the variety of opinions expressed. It makes me wonder how much
time and energy you've given to maintaining such a
collaborative, yet appropriately firm leadership style. I'm sure
it's no small feat when players are passionate.
I think I might search for old posts that mention player
facilitated capture the flag gameplay next. ;P

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it's been a crazy trip but it's
been fun. I wish I had more time to do things. I had a lot more
time to play back then. I would like to bring back some form of
capture the flag again soon, hopefully. I might have more time
to devote to the server after the first of the year. Finger
crossed! ;D
