Way to go.

The first two guys I saw when I started playing, we just ignored each other. That was when bandits still had skins, so there was no real PVP between survivors (as far as I know). After that I died 3-4 times to bandits shooting me in the back, either in Elektro or in Cherno. Right after that, I decided to try killing someone else myself. It was a decision I made when I saw a freshly spawned guy AFK on the beach. I know, it's cheap, but I wanted to know the consequences, and a spawn kill yields less impacts. I asked "FRIENDLY?" in the chat a couple of times, then took the shot with my Makarov... Apparently another survivor heard the shot, cause he came to inspect the body. I killed him too ;). I immediately turned bandit and stayed that way until the bandit skin removal. I haven't killed any survivor since then, unless I felt threatened. I don't even ask if they are friendly or not, I just avoid them. Last time, with 2 other guys I roll with, we saw a group of 3 players that had not seen us. We could have taken them out easily. Plus it was at NW AF. As we wanted to loot the place too, we had to do something. Instead of murdering them with a grenade, we simply asked if they were friendly. They answered positively, let us check the fire station to share the loot, and then we left. I felt good about myself... I was also 300 m away with my DMR, making sure they held their part of the bargain ;).

Date/Time: Around 1:30 AM (UTC/GMT -4) Currently installed version: v1.6.0.1, with dayz_code_v1.5.6 files (briefly) Server I was on: US7 Where I was: Just above Cherno, near the power relay station. What happened: The skin of my character briefly turned back to the bandit skin, and then ended up being a male as a new character, while I had chosen female after the last update. What I was doing: First off, THIS IS ENTIRELY MY FAULT. HOWEVER, I HAD NO INTENTION OF EXPLOITING A BUG to revert back to the default skin. Actually, I wish my character was still a woman. I wanted to find a temporary fix to the tent pitching problem. BEFORE the modifications: So I searched the internet for a temporary fix. I found this thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5516&page=2 “defic” suggested using the version 1.5.6 of dayz_code files, pitching the tent somewhere on the desired server, updating the files to the most recent ones, and logging back into the server. “BelgarionNL” even confirmed that it worked. I tried. I downloaded the dayz_code_v1.5.6 files and replaced the dayz_code_v1.6.0.1 files with them. AFTER the modifications: When I logged in with that previous version, I had the bandit skin on, replacing the female skin I had chosen. I found the spot I wanted my tent to be… but could not find how to put it down… So I gave up. When I logged back in with the version 1.6.0.1 of dayz_code, I still had the bandit skin! After trying a few servers, I decided to kill my guy… along with all the stuff I had. I did not want to be considered a cheater for using unavailable skins. When I generated a new character, my character had a male skin. Everything else seemed to be normal. So… that’s it. I wish I could undo it all.
