When I was walking my dog, and another dog ran up. The owner started calling out,"friendly, he's friendly". I had the sudden urge to handcuff him and feed disinfectant.

So, just some background, I just broke 400 hrs. after some time off, so am not in the super elite territory. I know where to go, what to do, and how to do it. I cant stand server hopping hoarders, even though I admit I've done it a few times after a new patch for the shiny shiny, (we all have, if you say you haven't, well its your life). So..... I was travelling up north after a particularly bad spawn down in Elektro, another story, near the tower. I spawned into a nighttime server, Proctor U. I quickly found a shotgun and only 2 rounds of ammo, a sledge, and some food. I searched the tower and found a couple of pistols but no ammo. I noticed that there was no zeds and that put me on my feet, head moving 360 as I moved from spot to spot, as that usually means someone been there. Nothing... I ran into the round top building, (prison, jail idk), and found an empty fnx clip. Quickly searched the area as I have had the most pvp experiences here. Headed west and bugged out of town before I was capped by a bandit group, (im a lone wolf). Running... I started to run by the industrial complex to my left, and thought, "hey I can get a fireaxe in there in case I need to build a fire", and moved into the complex area. I felt pretty secure no on was there since it was a low loot area, (i know better now), and quickly started moving through the buildings. Last was the construction office building, (don't know what its called but that's what I call it, 2 floors and a bathroom). Downstairs, couple of cans of soda, nothing special, so I ran upstairs, (no zeds in area, so am running with my shotgun out)..... Surprise... In the top floor a quickly look about, and find a player hunched over in the logout crouch. I didn't even think, I blew him away, don't try to escape from me, I play for the game not for the loot, and my thought was he was trying to log to avoid interaction, not necessarily combat log . I killed him and searched him, most of his upper half was ruined, but I did find a pristine AK with 3 clips, a longhorn with 1 stack of ammo, 2 water bottles full, Canteen Full, all in a mountain backpack with plenty of food, and a Uk assault vest. (TLDR)So..... My question is, if you find someone in the logout pose, do you kill them to teach them a lesson, or leave them be?

So in reference to another post of mine, I wanted to see what the community in whole thinks about killing a player that has had no interaction with you, in a logout sequence? pls keep comments, for the most part, clean and respectful so we can discuss. earlier post for reference: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/217603-killed-a-combat-logger/

this made me smile

who! who! are you an effin owl? say who again

No, I just rlly want to agree with you.

omg, I luv you and so do the kittens

go west my son, get off the coast. with persistence enabled all loot is gone. good news stary sabor is full of food, you should be able to make it there just before you die. luck savior

I thought this, what if he catastrophically logged out at the same time I entered the building. I don't believe in coincidences.

Luv BP, I wouldn't mind a longer logout timer. It would take away a lot of ambiguity I feel about this kill.

that's not the point of the post rlly. Its about killing a person in logout, that has had no interaction with you.

I also have been called away by kids and such, but ive always logged in woods or a brown building. If it was for something important, then I feel for the guy.

This... this is why I posted to the forums, I will always kill a combat logger no matter what... but I felt conflicted on this kill. he wasn't in direct confrontation with me, but he also denied me of an experience with him in what I feel is how the game should be played.

This was my instant thought aswell. My first pvp encounter was in a barracks building, and even tho I was bleeding, and I knew the building was going to be stormed, I told myself, "finish this no matter the outcome, don't log". I died but it was a good death.

That's kinda what I was thinking, because I didn't think, I just acted. I usually like to interact with people, but this time, I just reacted. Thanks for your input.

Its coming and we all know it. The hardcore toon ive been so loving of, has come down into berenzino to do dirty for one last day, I think. Either way a server wipe is coming and time to get the cobwebs out. post your character pre wipe, and some additional facts we may find interesting.

only true m4 in the game, lived at club Z north of berenzino. Took 2 weeks to find all the attachments. Never could find a police cap.

Lived for 3 months up north, handcuffed 7 players, only shot one

So with all the alpha sapeak, yada yada yada..... im really enjoying the new patch. Just broke 300 hrs and had a pristine police ocifer, see my other post, and logged in after patch. Pristine everything, including akm and drum mag. bugged out of elektro and into the hills since I didn't want to lose my sweet lootz. I was low on food so I figured id hit up a small village to get some nash. I just ran into the first building I saw and picked up some beans. Heard a noise and spun round to see 3 zeds blocking my exit. I hurriedly buttoned open some doors and ran out, zeds in tow. I pulled my camo fire axe out, which let the zeds ruin my pristine police jacket and I dispensed with them shortly, aftter which bandaging my gashing wound. I spotted a round top jail to the east and headed towards it. Somehow a zed in the open field spotted me and made a quick attack, but since I had my axe out it was short work. No sooner had I put that bad bitch down, (always endeavor to make references to the man in black), her cousin friend and uncle showed up. I put down one and decided the better part of valor was to run into the jail and lock the door. I could hear the family throwing themselves against the door and went upstairs to find some rags. Only finding soda and a suspect 30rnd 22mm clip, I decided, "these are just zeds, theyre nothing to fear." And yolo'ed out the front door. To m y surprise there were now 9 zeds. The family had called in reinforcements. I got caught flat footed, had my .357 out, since I was clearing a building, and quickly shot the first two coming towards me. this however didn't stop the other seven. As I ran out of ammo and frantically trying to reload. my arm hurts my arm is broken my leg is broken you are dead I love this patch, honestly my favorite gaming experience with Dayz to date since release. I now fear the zeds, and skirt citys, looking for the family. Darting in and out and running through buildings to save my life. Im honestly starting to play this game more if that's possible.

hshite you had 3 jumpers after you, no bueno. splitting axe. 99 problems

prrly could of used the akm at the time, but I didn't want to draw attention to the village, and ran out thinking the 357 would be enough. Once I ran out of ammunition I new I would be on the beach

clear houses with .357 always will, ran outside, and didn't want to switch to give zeds some free hits, thought I could lose them.

So now, im sporting the shotgun, full bore, since shells are abundant, and only clothes I can quickly replace. Making rags out of everything I can find.

Just. A few things I've noticed today playing on experimental servers: - food can be scarce as hell, died a couple times to starvation till server wipe. -zombies will chase you upstairs and for the most part observe standard physics rules. -zombies will s w a r m you, if you expect to YOLO scavenge a city, you better be prepared. Had some epic death matches with zombies in Stary, got chased to the roof of the prison, didn't end till I killed around nine zombies. -guns are scarce....very scarce, in fact only found a blaze and 5 rounds I scavenged from a stripper clip. Anyway thought I'd share some observations coming to stable server near you...soon. Good times getting closer to the game I expect.
