Glitch off a roof.

Nifty. Dropping an app.

Huh.

I currently have each of these items on my M4. lol I've found three or four Aimpoints, bayonets out the wazoo. Only the BUIS and suppressor once though. Took the bayonet off, but I have it. Still haven't figured out how to use it. lol

Of course. My last interaction of the evening was running into two gentlemen in the military base hospital just south of Zeleno. When I spotted them, I could have shot both in the back, but instead I asked over voip if they had any meds. They spun around and started shooting, all the while yelling "friendly" back at me. Fortunately, they didn't hit me, and I slunk off into the woods after deciding I was at a tactical disadvantage with my blurred vision, and bolt action. In the future, I think I'll just shoot them if I find myself in a similar encounter. So far the only positive player interaction I've had is with fresh spawns, whom I have nothing to gain from, and who have nothing to gain from me. We've exchanged pleasantries, and moved on. Every armed player I've seen has either shot at me, or taken an aggressive stance. Still doesn't bug me- I'm loving the tense, death-around-any corner atmosphere.

I'm new to game, hence my post count, and have only been playing for a few days. According to steam, I've played SA 15 hours. In that time, I've gotten more or less fully geared twice. The first time I logged out, and when I logged back in the next morning- I was naked, and on the beach again, instead of geared and at the NWA where I'd logged. Bummer. In between, I've been blown out of my shoes on or near the beach three times. Once in Cherno, once in Elektro, and once who the hell knows, because I hadn't even gotten my bearings before some guy with an axe ran up and brained me. These three experiences have been...formative. The second time, is still a work in progress. I've been black and white for five hours, am sick, and can't find enough food or antibiotics to shake it. I've had a few running shoot outs, been shot at out of the wild blue yonder with no warning or provocation (without being killed or wounded, thankfully), and I've killed two armed players who were encroaching on my resting place. (Trying to rest off the damn B&W). Frankly, the idea of being surrounded by a population that contains KoS players makes the game more enjoyable for me. The thought that at any moment I can be struck down by some guy in a random bush keeps me edgy, paranoid, nervous. In short, I find it fun. If it weren't for those guys, what exactly would I have to worry about? Staving? Nah. I think I'd die of boredom. Right now, I desperately need medication, or enough food & water to start the healing process.. I'm camped outside Zelenogorsk, and know I have a good chance of finding what I need- but I'm reluctant to enter for fear of being clocked by one of the KoS players. Does that concern me? Totally. But it also makes the game worth playing. Seriously, I'm having a blast.
