SomeCallMeTim (DayZ)

"kill[ed] on sight" That is, when people automatically try kill someone the moment they see them, regardless of the other person's intentions.

I downloaded DayZ recently for me and my kid (high school age.) This morning, he was running around gathering together some loot. He has next-to-nothing at that point--no gun, and I believe just a crowbar. I happened to be watching over his shoulder when it happened: He was running through the middle of a town when his screen with blank. Pure white. At first I thought he disconnected, as did he. "Crap," he said. "I d/c'ed." But then we saw the message: ___ has handcuffed you. It was then we realized it had been a flash bang. His vision slowly returned to show to men hovering around him. They had black tactical outfits. Black bandanas wrapped around their faces... and guns drawn. "Um... I'd get on the ground," I said. "They're going to unload on you for sure." He kneeled his character down and said to me "I don't get it. Have nothing. They have everything. This seems so unfair. It took me hours to find this little bit I have." I had him turn up his speaker to see if they were saying anything. It was dead quiet. They stripped off his gear and threw it aside. We waited for the inevitable "You are dead" message. That's when it happened... Slowly, gear started appearing on him. A tactical vest. A weapon. Ammo.... they were gearing him. Then, just like that, a flash of bright white again. A moment thereafter, a message that he was no longer cuffed. When his vision cleared and he could see again, they were gone. He was alone. Geared up and ready for action. Dressed like his unknown benefactors. "Holy shit," he said. We both were staring at the screen stunned. He was beaming with pride at his new gear and said "I'm totally going to try to do the same to others someday. Those Batmen angel guys were cool as hell."
