I would like to introduce my little base/gang called "Choha" to your village. It's basically just a cave I bought for me back in the days. As it feels pretty lonely and One can help a few newbies, I donate this base to you, as a little "alliance" or so.

Only thing is: you need to make sure of the security for yourself. I won't spawn any mercs/guards there. But as there is a bit of equipment lying around, use it. Sell it, buy some guards. So that the gray rocks have some support/alternative hideout if they don't like dwelling at a farm. If you want to be part of, you can write me a PM (although I am pretty busy with Real Life stuff don't expect an immediate answer) or you write the user "Jeoshua" as he is also a member I invited to there, he can invite new members if he has the time. If he hasn't the time and I am not around, try to PM some other GM, you have hereby my full support and I ofcourse allow it to use my base, as long as you try to help the really newbies and don't just try to scam them.

Your "leader" (me, I mean the leader of this "gang") will be "Treesnogger", my normal playing character. The base is located slight north of junktown, has excellent, short travelling times to both Junktown/NCR mines and on the respective square on the worldmap only radtoads and Holy people are dwelling. I hope it's usefull for you, as I am planning to make a complete new character up in north, let's see if loners live is so easy there too.

Maybe, later, when I have more time/more nerves to be full part of the game again (my lack of interest to the game has nothing to do with the game, as said, its real life stuff ) that base could be the guardian arm of the village. Or some place to train people. Or some crafting place etc. It's up to your creativity what you do with the donation.


And EDIT again: For some reason I already smell "GM abuse" - I bought this base long ago,  the money wasn't spawned, I for myself earned it the normal playing way. (my character is a crafter/"fighter"/miner - crafted [2] Armors and [2] Small Guns to earn this, only character I play). Donated all my Metal Armors I crafted everytime to some random gangs, maybe you recognize the "Metal Lord". So no, this place is not supported by some GM powers, it's just a normal cave.

With deep regrets I have to proclaim the end of Gray Rock Trade Post company in its present form.

As everybody knows, our company dwelled in Gray Rock village and we were supporting many newcomers, poor wastelanders, who were trying to find their luck in those hard times. We were giving them advices, helping them, when they were encountered by hordes of hostile creatures, we even sometimes saved them from some wanna-be-murderers, and for sure, we provided all of them with quality, but cheap equipment, to make their ways easier.

But not everyone liked our efforts, and there were people, who were doing their best (or worst) to spoil our business. Some of them were making bombing attacks on our traders in towns, some of them made fake distress calls on our radio channel to misinform and kill our customers and there were many other ways, they used.

The last attack on our business came from the side we never awaited one. Our company was robbed  right in the middle of Gray Rock village. Someone broke through our locks and stole quite large sum of caps, working manuals, working tools and other necessary equipment for our business.
As long as we cannot trust even the citizens in our beloved village, we have to stop using the village as our main outpost and we have to establish some new base of our operations. This could take some time to solve and for this time we will not make any trades (although there could be some exceptions).

But... as there were many people supporting us, as customers, guards, co-hunters, etc., we are making one last SELL-OUT, before closing the shop for a while. The only rule is: FIRST TO COME, FIRST TO BUY!
For the purposes of sell-out business you can reach me on common trade channel 6069.

At the end you never ask our protection...

NOE, we give a bunker to your patners, wait and see what they will do with this new location, a lot more easy to defend.

There are only two possibilities, how the robbery could happen... The first is, that someone brings a follower/s with him (accidentally or not), and those follower/s sneaked past guards and lockpicked our storage. The second is, that it was a citizen of the village himself, who break through our locks and stole everything...
In both case, I dont see any way how could some other more guards prevent this situation... the only way is to have our own hidden base, and only trusted members of our company will have access to it...

[LeMark]

When you want to seill you have to come with your stuff and put it in locker, when you leave you have to leave wiuth your stuff to, like a open market. The ville have to be a market place, not a base.

[gordulan]

you can't trust the community for this kind of endeavour...

After my new player support faction was raided i toyed with the idea of having a private base that was only for me and a few other highly trusted members to craft in and tent set up fairly near by to store crafted items so that we could stock pile equipment to aid new guys. But sadly, the other 3 members of the faction let the raid get to them and have now stopped playing Fonline... so this means for the time being my attempts at helping to tame the wasteland have been put on hold. But it sounds like you still have guys backing you and i think you shouldn't give up. When i first read about greyrock trading post and infact grey rock village , i got really excited because i think this level of RP is needed to secure the future of Fonline and keep the game alive. It adds alittle fun, meaning and a social feeling to the game and without that all this game is ,is another mmo grind fest full of over stressed good players and short sighted arseholes that cant see that by ripping people off and making good players leave, they are infact killing the game. Im not sure how many players were involved in the raid at ur place , but i know only 2 players (that never donate or use the forums) raided our base and cos of it 3 players (that did donate when possible and were active on forums constantly trying to improve things) have now left the game.

If you need any help then ask and il do what i can , and i hope the second attempt works and the trading post is up and running again soon

there are just too many cowardly assholes in the world nowadays, and it doesn't really help with internet anonymity...

[LPLimbos]

I want to tell you the village is going pretty well besides from the thief problem and ummm... brahmins going wild cause of arath xD.

dont be afraid cause we will never give up to some guys raiding us or trying to destroy this dream/idea cause we have passed trough that and we will not fall to some guys that doesnt apreciate others people enough to let em have fun in a good player created space.

in other news soon we will have our first player made event so stay tunned for more info.

see you in the wastelands...

[Malcolm]

Hello guys !!!

I'm intereseted in joining to your community I'm tired from being robbed, killed etc. I'm just talking with one of your members, he told me that you that you had problem with some thieves and for now new guys must earn your trust. Please write a pm to me. I will be in NCR for some time, nick John Hendrix.

[Steve Zissou]

Good idea, but you instilled too much trust in your "villagers". Tomowolf got robbed really bad too, you just don't leave anything valuable in any base or location that is frequented by many people.

I'll talk with you Enzo.

[Gatling]

This is one of the main problems with any sort of project like this.  Unless it specifically gets some sort of protection from superiors to keep out things of this nature, which includes Very Harsh punishments, which I also wished more of, then this sort of project is just doomed from the start, and is only a matter of time.  I have toyed with the idea several times, but elements of players always shine as an example not to waste my time and effort.  Good luck with your new projects and hopefully you can remake a pleasant place for the low and downtrodden.

Is all I can say, myself.

[LPLimbos]

i didnt even knew about the idea with the lockers untill arath opened the villa.

I like the idea of bringing a Caravan cart with 2 mercs or 1 more cause of simply ness and that way you can waste thiefs easily but idk if arath would be here soon to check that...

untill then lets hope it doesnt get messy...

[Enzo]

I am hereby giving my thanks to all people for expressions of support... for sure we are not giving up the idea of helping the poor ones... we are still proud Gray Rock village citizens and our trading company will continue as soon as we move our storages to some safe place... after this we will relaunch the business, may be even in bigger form...
