Fairly new player to DayZ - been on since 1.7.7.1... I've killed probably 8 people by now and died my fair share too and it's been all good but this one has left me pushed back from the desk with hands trembling with adrenaline. I'm in the woodlands heading North along a fairly winding path hitting up deer stands along the way. I did get a cheeky slap in the mouth from a Zomble earlier and need painkillers, I've a Makarov and 5 mags for it and bandages etc so I'm doing ok - except i'm nearly starving. I notice a survivor trying to vault over a structure in the middle of the woods a few times and not managing it - he does after the third go and climbs over. I crouch run to where he is and look for him, he's not there. The area was pretty much walled off so I thought he had logged, I check about again and suddenly there he is, that was either the world's fastest reload or a glitch but he's there and pointing a gun at me and looking like he's trying to pick a shot. I snatch up the Makarov and aim best I can for centre mass and pop about 3-4 rounds out of 7 into his shoulder, chest and legs. Guy spins on his heels and sprints down the hill through the vegetation, the chase is on, he's legging it and weaving and I can see the blood pumping out of the wounds. I stop and take a few more shots and hit nothing. Guy isn't returning fire but I started this right? I need to finish it - besides he isn't going to exactly stop if I say hang on I have a bandage. I've lost a lot of ground at this point and we continue the chase weaving through the trees, until I think I have a shot - pause and unload a whole clip in his direction, enough stuck and the guy wails and goes to his belly. He turns around to face me approaching and tries wriggling under a tree and round to hide/get away from me. Walking the last 15m at this stage and putting the final bullet in his brain was really intense. I take a breath and check his gear. He was holding a flashlight. My heart sank for him as I took his painkillers and 3 tins of food. By far the most sloppy kill I have made but I really felt like I had just killed someone/snuffed out their light this time. Whoever you were, I thought you had a gun, I don't know why but I felt compelled to chase you down and kill you, I feel bad about it but then I got meds and food from you - I survived. This "Game" as a social experiment is really spot on.
