The Killing Joke

It was because of your post that I attempted to help you out, because it did not seem like communicating your point was your strong suit. TKJ

I will say this. You are not alone. There's a lot of people who share your limited view and opinion. TKJ

PvP = Player vs. Player. It's a generalization, and what the game is to everybody. You may mean the initialism "PK" (or "PK'r" or "PK'er") which stands for "Player Killer". Popularized by the Diablo series, where it was considered the lowest of the low. TKJ

Why do you feel the need to force people to work together? There isn't an issue of balance, because everybody - good and bad alike - have the exact same skills and choices available to them. Also, in my old age, I've decided that I really don't like people. I like to play on my own. I don't have to rely on anyone. As it is, it's hard as hell to solo in this game, regardless of your skin. You have to sneak everywhere, and that takes a buttload of time. As it is, it is the survivors that have it easy. I look forward to the day when my solo ass can be seen wearing a normal skin. TKJ

It's very serious. I'll be honest. A lot of your words were very large, and I didn't understand some of them. For that reason, I'm not going to go all anal and attempt to dissect every statement you've made. That has been done to death in this thread. I have acknowledged the fact that people may 'shoot first', and I have acknowledged (previously, and in other threads) that they may be more cautious. The truth is, nobody knows. (And no, you yourself cannot say "this is the way it is". Sorry.)) I will continue stand firm on the opinion that you cannot arbitrarily restrict someone because of their gameplay in DayZ. Should you be able to call out players who kill others? Sure. Should you be able to see that they've done something you don't like, just by looking at them? No. That is unfair. It goes for survivors and bandits. I'd like to see something more, but the humanity system and skin assignment is not the way. TKJ

I like JoeV, because I am also old. I would like to subscribe to his newsletter. TKJ

Rocket is amazing. DayZ is amazing. Removal of arbitrarily assigned skins is amazing. The death of the humanity system is amazing. My post count is amazing. The fact that I can come on here and post how things are amazing is amazing. The amount of freakishly scary deaths I have encountered in-game is amazing. The level of intensity online is amazing. Overall, this game is ... pretty darn good. TKJ

There does not have to be any tangible consequence to losing humanity. You do not need to arbitrarily punish anyone for their choice to kill a survivor over a zed. TKJ

Tennis, anyone? :D TKJ

Notice Board Post: "For a good time, call Rocket - 555-2368" TKJ

Oh, the (lack of) humanity! To everybody who says those who 'shoot first' have an advantage, you are right. Why? Because they are going to live longer. I'll agree with you on that point. BUT You have absolutely no justification to say that, by killing other players, you have the right to assign them a different skin, arbitrarily. And to the guy who said, we need to "providing an environment in which they can feasibly choose to play how they wish" he's right. But assigning a skin, REMOVES that ability, because it leverages an assumption upon you BY SIGHT. Sorry, everybody. NOBODY should be MARGINALIZED for only the COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN. TKJ

Blanket statement. You can't prove this. I don't, because you shouldn't automagically know if someone is good or bad. TKJ

You sound angry too. That only makes a new target' date=' unless you're making it a choice to do so. You think Bandits are getting shot on sight? Just wait until you waltz into town wearing that shiny star. Again, blanket statements you can't back up. Nobody can. Please stop using them. TKJ

Realistic arguments aside (see above) being assigned a different skin arbitrarily is not a fair mechanic. I'm glad it's going away. TKJ

What is this? TKJ

Dear Everybody, Please refrain from using blanket statements such as, "if you don't change [insert 'I hate this thing' here], then everybody is going to [insert 'thing I hate most' here], and that would be bad." You know about as much as I do, and I can tell you this. I do not know that everything is going to get better or worse, and neither do you. It may change, and it may change into something you might not like. That being said, somebody, somewhere might like it very much, and their opinion weighs as much as yours does. Thank you. TKJ p.s. 100% of people agree with me, in as much as 87.3% of all statistics stated as fact on the Internet are made up.

Thanks Leechman. Sadly' date=' it looks like people would rather measure their e-peens over in the "Bandit/PvP Y/N" threads, than to stand up and be counted in this one. ;) I love the fact that people are offering up their time to give back to the community. Thanks everybody, for standing up for this game. It's great, and it's only going to get better. TKJ

I think Rocket is a pretty cool guy, eh develops a great game and doesn't afraid of anything. TKJ

Point your gun AWAY from them. TKJ

How so? (If you don't know what hypocritical means, just say so. Nobody is going to think much less of you.) TKJ

Running out of ammo with only one way of killing them (running to others and hoping they shoot it) is pretty fucking compelling. TKJ

Your posts prove otherwise. Prove me wrong. What makes you a player 'on par' with anybody else, if you're giving the old "lather, rinse, repeat" analogy? TKJ

Oh ye, of limited foresight. You have, what, three posts to your name? Read along, and see all the things the cool kids are doing! This game is amazing, once you get past the tunnel vision that most players seem to exhibit. TKJ
