i'm starting to think just go down the route of shoot on site. Regardless. i'm fed up of bumping into people and declaring friendly then after 2 mins of conversation just getting shot for no reason. for example, last night i was in cherno being chased by a mass of zombies and went for fire station ladder. as i approached the top i saw a bloke lying there waiting. i started climbing down but realized 10 zombies isn't really an option. i declared friendly while on the ladder still, then climbed to the roof. when i got onto the roof i saw the bloke had moved to the far side and was prone. he declared friendly upon my arrival and to make sure he understood i was friendly i turned to face the ladder to show i wasn't hostile. he approached me and we conversed for 2 minutes, i never turned away from the ladder while this was going off and he stood beside me for quite a while, then all of a sudden, bang bang bang into my side. never provoked him. i was about to leave to because the zombies had dispearsed. so that encounter was the nail on the head for my friendly play style. i have never killed another player. just been killed by them. but thats now changed.
