I figured I lose the ammo and SKS for sure, but thought I could at least negotiate not getting my face remodeled. The good news in my whole situation here is, I'll have plenty of time to think about my mistake while I make the 4 hour (not literally of course) run back. That sumbitch better not have taken my hacksaw and sewing kit. I swear I'll lose it...

Thanks for the replies thus far. I'm not too worried about it overall was just a bummer. Seemed like a lose-lose situation. Lesson learned.

Greetings, I'll try and keep it short and sweet, but forgive me if I ramble I bit. I found a fairly profitable place to loot that appeared to be home to little traffic. Managed to get a fair amount of decent gear (Nothing special, but ton's of ammo). I log into to make my "usual" run and all is well until I have a chance encounter with a trigger happy fellow. I was ambushed (Which is fine and, to be expected at some point), and I believe he was just going to rob me (also expected). He gave the instruction to drop my weapon and don't turn around, too which I attempted to comply. Sadly I tried to drop the weapon and was instantly shot it the back. He proceeded to tell me how I was a scrub etc.. So, from the time I was instructed to drop my weapon until my untimely demise I was given 4-5 seconds. I could have complied if I hadn't lagged a bit. Again, and let me make it clear, I don't fault the guy for reacting the way he did, and I'm not mad about the game being buggy (ALPHA NOOB! I get it). I may have done the same, but it seemed avoidable really. People are rather trigger happy it seems, but whatever. Anyone else die in a similar manner, is there a faster way to drop a weapon besides opening the inventory and praying that it works? TL;DR I'm being a big baby because I died unnecessarily and hope there is something to be learned from the experience. To the unpleasant fellow who killed me, enjoy all that ammo and beans... Thanks, Jaded non fat guy!

The anonymity of video games, and the internet in general is really the "problem". I've been in game with 15-16 year olds that acted more mature than folks my own age, been on the other side of the fence too though. I can also appreciate the idea that they are "role playing", but I think its more a case of being a successful troll. Sadly, I don't deal with it well and feed them often, but I try to look at it objectively when its not happening to me. I guess I hypocrite much! Kinda sad though, I have yet to see another player (Maybe I'm lucky).

Just started a few days ago. Looking for folks to survive with. Central time and usually play in the evenings.
