i make that sorta threat with a buddy of mine when we play all the time. I never had to actually enforce it. Usually we lose the things in the woods. AND YOU, OP. That escalated quickly, didnt it? ._. You really value your friends I see.

I play similarly, but not quite. I keep a person at gunpoint and I give orders for them to keep their back to me, if I catch them around. if they're friendly, I lose the aggression but still tell them to stay facing away from me. if they try something, they die. If they need help and I can spare it, I'll drop it for them. If I'm in a good mood I'll warn them of anything I know of, but I do not play with strangers. If you pass along my path I won't group up with you, but I have no intention of hurting you if you just let me go on my merry wanderings.

I'm friendly. I refuse to pull the trigger first.

I probably have this in the wrong spot, and chances are the dude'll never read this, but hey. yeahhhhh....you scared the holy hell out of us when you came careening down the hill. Apparently you almost bowled my buddy Orca over and made him shout the loudest I ever have heard him over the decade I've known the lad. I had you pegged as an unlucky bandit when I saw you dive down prone on the hill, there. I'm kind of glad it didn't end up coming to a gunfight on the hill there. Sorry if we gave you a fright, but you probably know how the game is. Can't trust anyone. if it's any consolation, I wouldn't have fired first at you. I could not guarantee the intentions of my buddies behind me. The boy with the bigass sniper rifle, voted we rob you. Figured your day was crappy enough with us scaring you off your bike,though, so I talked him out of it. Be cautious on your travels, friend. Next time it may not be a friendly bunch of misfits like us. <.<;; Hah.. PS: I tried to take your bike after you left. It was amusing. Riding around sideways on the hill. I got thrown off.

I'll just answer this with a quote.

Haha....We were about to fire when I crouched up to him and said "Say friendly in 3 seconds or I put a slug in your skull." xD...It was the quickest response I ever got from someone. Won't lie.

This is why I play with my TF2 buddies. I can trust them. And they're also the devils on my shoulders. Any day now I'll cross the line to banditry. I feel like Batman in regards to the joker. "It'd be too damn easy."

Yeah, you need to quickly learn to see "Harflegfdhas" russian and its connection to its english form. You're always on the South coast. It's a matter of putting the ocean to your left, right, or back, and running.

First: Sup stranger. ;D Second: I've taught you...Well. The basics. Hop to it, grasshoppa..

http://dayzdb.com/map#6.039.092 . Look in the bottom right corner of the game when you spawn. It'll tell you what landmark is closest. It's up to you to find out what side of whatever city you're on, but initial travels always been simple to me. "Need to head west. Kay. Keep the ocean on my left." and so on. Just go sprinting down the road, cuz i have nothing to lose and couldn't care less if I die. I may even respawn *closer* to the objective!

Unless/until its been fixed, you can "trick" the zombies. Run indoors, or zigzag up a steep hill to lose them easily. On flat ground, you're pretty much running nonstop unless you can break their line of sight long enough to get 300m or so away. But thats part of the game's charm. And even toughens you up quickly. Just gotta be aware of your surroundings, and use some of your Naked spawns to dick around and re-acquaint yourself after patches.

Saw it on another game's forum. And indirectly through seeing a bunch of friends on Steam play OA.

Eh. I had a decent time beginning. I came after the basic gun removal was removed, but I quickly learned the things I needed to learn. My first question beyond the controls and any basic tips was "What's a deerstand look like?" so I had an idea of what to look for. Now here I am. In essentially the same position. Sometimes I go for marathon runs to Cherno with Elektro zombies on my tail. I swear our characters should be fuckin' olympic athletes.

1: Never run on the roads unless you accept the risk of looking like a massive target. Always use the cover of the woods surrounding them and use the road as a guide. 2: Be careful with light sources (Flashlights, flares, chemlights) because they attract unseen eyes. And occasionally sniper rounds. 3: Be wary of gunshots. Don't go and investigate. Find a quiet spot and watch things, or get out of there. Quietly. 4: Never sprint around near cities. Crouch-walk or go prone when stealth is a necessity. 5: never turn your back to a player you just met. They can access your backpack without your knowledge. Or they'll just shoot you.

trade you 2 cans of pepsi and a firm bro-fist.

Not my point. I'm saying: I hesitate to respond to players I see who aren't certain if I'm around. What if it's some asshole playing friendly who just wants to cap a gullible person in the face? I don't throw alot of emotion into my "Friendly!" declarations if I have no other choice. The best you'll often get is a "oh shit, friendly, man." If I say "friendly" in whatever tone I please, I usually mean it. Usually. There've been moments where I was tempted to kill people for blowing my cover. I am just generally very paranoid around players and am automatically pretty defensive around people I dunno. Meaning, my gun doesn't go down and it's always pointed at their chest until they earn some trust. So far, no one has. <.<

You're tryin to get me shot by people. I'm not gonna have my voice crack and speak through sobs to say "Friendly" when I want to avoid a fight. <.<;; I

Works with rifles. Didnt try it with a pistol yet.

Congratulations, Picture Sharing "Pretty Girl of the Internet." Here's your fished for treasure: A compliment. "I'm sure you're a very handsome fella." Now back to your lair, and pick the female skin when asked what suit you're wearing today.

I'm just a newbie. I've had like, 3 friendly encounters, 2 "Stalking" encounters where I followed and watched someone attract every goddamn Zed in town, and 1 serious "Bandit asshole" encounter. Frankly I'm still in love with the game. Mostly because that rush of surviving the bandit encounter in Cherno emboldened me a bit. Took a sniper shot to the chest, was reduced to 3500 blood. Bled out to around 3100 and woke up. Stumbled into a nearby building, bandaged myself up and hid. I had no weapons. No outstanding gear. Didn't even pick up alot of medicine from the hospital next door. Had one can of food, which I promptly ate for the small blood boost. Couple minutes later I stalked out of the place and high-tailed it to Nadezdhino to meet up with a buddy. Eventually, I know I'm going to end up being a bandit. Like someone else said, there isnt much else to do in the game but survive. But until then, I have no problem being cautiously-hopeful about helping people if i can. And also to always play with at least one friend who can watch my ass.
