A pretty minor story, but one which has freaked me out.

I was planning on watching the Man United v Tottenham Europa league final the other night but the game kicked off at 10pm my time and i have to work early so i couldn't watch. So off i went to bed.

At 12.28 am i woke up and so i decided to check the score as i was pretty certain the game was finished or close to finishing. To my dismay Tottenham were winning 3-0 in extra time, having scored all their goals in extra time. It was 115 minutes into the game so there was only 5 minutes left. Bummer!

I went back to sleep and when i awoke i checked the final score - to my shock it was 1-0 to Tottenham who won the game in normal (90 minut

Inspired by the post:

Got me wondering what other things players do that are considered a dog move and not in the "spirit" of the game. I am not talking about KoS.

For me it is killing someone when they are drinking at a well...just seems like a low move to me.

I also consider the classic: fully geared players killing freshies on the coast a lame move as well, but sometimes it can be fun getting hunted by a bush-wookie when you have just spawned in.

Any other unofficial dog acts of DayZ?

I was intrigued to know what each team's winning % in finals was as i knew that even though the Dees have only won one flag in that time, whenever we got to a finals series we always did quite well.

I chose 1987 as that was when the Eagles joined. Well, i was pretty much unprepared for the results.

WTF??

Who said there were no animal companions?

From the BBC in regards to the World Cup:

"Gareth Southgate's squad have been hidden away behind the wooden gates of their hotel on the Gulf of Finland, when not at their Zelenogorsk training base a short distance away. "

It seems the England team and perhaps their supporters have infiltrated Zelenogorsk!

Devs - can we get the zombies in Zelenogorsk changed to English hooligans for the duration of the World Cup?

An incident i had got me thinking about something that has been suggested before - some pre fabricated signs.

I was in a medical building, fully decked as a medic, my plan to help anyone who wandered by - the building being fully stocked with bandages, saline bags etc.

However, soon enough 2 people came into the building and whether they were startled or just douches, killed me on site. I probably was partly at fault as well since they didnt repsond to my callout when i heard footsteps.

So my thought was - if i am able to put a sign up on or near the building saying - "Medic Inside" could this help in future?

Some other signs would be good as well - "Trader Inside", "Holster all W

I have seen a lot of comments recently regarding how the game needs to be balanced more to make it fun.

Not enough food, 2 bullets killing you, stamina drains too quickly, etc etc

I remember one of Rocket's early comments in that his intention was never to make DayZ fun (he actually phrased it as an anti game) but to make it so hardcore that the game was literally trying to kill you at every turn.

I was attracted to this concept in that it was totally different from everything else at the time. You could get arcady, insta-health buffs, bullet sponge fights in every other game but DayZ was meant to be different - you could die at any moment

But now it seems there are lots of calls to ton

So i was making sweet, sweet love to a trio of Swedish air hostesses when i suddenly had this thought "Why am i thinking about DayZ?"

Just thought i'd share.

Just found this article on the BBC news website, if anyone interested. The linked article by Lewis Dartnell at the end is quite a read as well.

I have just been embarrassed by my 10yo son who has won his first Chicken Dinner after a few top 10 placings in a row...my best is only 4th.

Any other youngest/oldest records? I could probably go for the oldest if i ever bloody win!

I found a planet I swore was pure desert. It looked like massive yellow sand dunes and rocks from orbit. As I came into land I was sure I had finally found a desert planet.

As I continued to descend the textures suddenly changed and it suddenly became rocky islands in water rather than sand. I was bummed.

Anyone else notice similar?

Is there anything, anywhere, a wiki for example, that is keeping records?

Largest land, sea, air and cave animal. Most toxic planet ( I found one at 117 toxicity) etc etc.

Be nice if records are kept somewhere.

I was at a pillar on a High security sentinel world. I interacted with the pillar and a nearby sentinel zoomed over and began shooting at me as I chose the text message to learn more about the Gek or whatever.

As the game zoomed out I could see the sentinel shooting at the spot where I was standing and of course it looked as though it was an empty spot.

This isnt surprising I suppose but are there plans to have a character model or is being able to see other players completely off the cards?
