	Before going ahead and creating a group, it is often encouraged to have a fleshed out idea of what that group is going to be. A group idea could come from any form of inspiration, whether it was from a specific interaction you've had whilst on the server, a character or faction you've heard about from history or fiction, or even something as simple as an outfit that projects. However, it is important to note that it is worthwhile for your group's existence to fit the general theme of DayZ, answering positively the question of '''''"Would a group like this realistically exist in an apocalyptic environment?".'''''

The Groups and Factions are the heart and soul of the community, held to the highest standards when it comes to Roleplay and Interacting with the rest of the server. This article will describe in detail on how to begin creating your own Group, how achieve Official Group Status, how to maintain it, and how to move forward if you wish to apply for a Faction.

	=== Rules of Engagement (ROE) ===		=== Rules of Engagement (ROE) ===
			Every group and faction have their own Rules of Engagement when it comes to interacting with other players. These are a staple in how members of your group behave towards certain scenarios that fall within the reach of your roleplay. It is useful to establish the ROE before you begin recruiting for your group, as that will help maintain the standards that you're trying to convey whilst having your new members be on the same page for how they should act.

			'''Example of Rules of Engagement:''' ''Let's say your group's Goals is to eradicate banditry or villainy in Chernarus, and you come across a group of them whilst out on a patrol. It would be both within your '''Goals''' and '''ROE''' to engage them in a manner that would stop their hostile activities. On another note, because you are a group striving to fight "evil", you and your members wouldn't participate in banditry or any random killings or holdups yourselves, as that would directly counter your established Goals. It is important to stay consistent with how your Group behaves in order to properly convey the idea of who you are and what you do.''

			It is also recommended that in order to preserve uniqueness when creating your own group, you should try and craft your Image, your Goals, and your ROE, based off of what doesn't already exist on the server. '''Try to find your own niche, rather than following in someone else's footsteps.'''
