Ok so I've been playing Day Z for a few days an absolutely loving it. I have learned the hard way not to hesitate when seeing armed strangers and usually just shoot on sight or try to stay undetected. Lately I've tried something different. If it looks like the player is really new or only has a damn flashlight then i leave them be but usually leave the area. Well i was sitting in the Bolata airfield tower after finding a dead player with tons of gear and an m1014 with loads of ammo. I hear footsteps. The guy has a mic and he says he's coming up and he's unarmed so don't shoot. I know how frustrating it is to make a run to Bolata and die the second you get there so i give this guy a chance. He finds a weapon and as im about to take my leave we hear gunshots. He covers the ladder and i watch the stairs. After about a minute i hear a crack and I'm lying on the floor with a huge fucking hole in the back of my head where this guy turned around and shot me. I thought for a split second i found someone trustworthy enough to talk to and interact with for a few moments but i was dead wrong. From now on I don't care if all i have is a hatchet and i have to pull The Shining on some guys I'm going HAM at the first sign of trouble. All I have to say is lesson learned.
