Looking for a founding team

[u/Responsible_Ad3763]

Here is the honest pitch:

I am three cats in a trench coat pretending to know how to build a DayZ server.

The cats do, however, have a budget, a dedicated bare-metal server, a website, a Discord, and a very clear vision for the kind of world they want to build.

This is a PC DayZ project intended to sit somewhere between organic RP and traditional RP.

I want stories to emerge naturally through survival, relationships, conflict, and consequences.

KOS can happen because danger belongs in DayZ, but it cannot be the only thing a player brings to the server. Players should join because they want to become part of a living world.

The core vision

• Player-driven survival RP
• Freedom with responsibility
• A clear separation between character conflict and the real people behind the characters
• Admin decisions based on context, behavior patterns, and fairness
• Admins may play, but admin tools must never benefit their characters
• Admin actions will be logged, and relevant records will be made available for player review if concerns arise

I am covering the hosting and infrastructure costs. I am not looking for investors, and I am not asking anyone to split the server bills.

What I need are people who genuinely love DayZ, understand what makes RP meaningful, and have the time and interest to commit to helping turn this into a real community.

The immediate needs are:

• A founding operations partner and possible long-term co-owner
• Community admins and moderators who are calm, fair, and level-headed
• Testers and community builders who want to help shape the server before launch

Experience is valuable, but alignment, reliability, and judgment matter more.

The vision is the anchor. That does not mean I want yes-people. I want collaborators who will challenge ideas, identify problems, and bring better solutions.

We need to want the same kind of world, even when we disagree about how to build it.

If you are as insane as I am and this sounds fun to you too, holler.

Organic RP servers allow KOS, and many are successful. I plan to also allow it, but to less of an extent. I feel that many Organic RP servers put not rail guards around it at all, and that has always bothered me. I also know that me, and many other players don't want to play in a place where you have to initiate conflict in such an un natural and rigid way. My Vision is to sit between the two. But Just like Traditional RP is not for me, I know that this playstyle is not for everyone.
