Inception.

Theoretically, no.

THIS THREAD People, just because the term "bandit" is used [in-game] currently for anyone who murderers a clean survivor, doesn't mean it has to be so. The true bandits, such as the OP I believe, have an idea. If enough people stay true to this idea, it will become a reality. You can kill those who attempt to enforce the idea, but you cannot kill the idea. I encourage those who play the way they play because of this particular idea to keep doing so, REGARDLESS of what people say. Just because the game states that you are a bandit for murdering people, it doesn't NEED to be so.

True bandits don't kill on sight everytime, that's murderers. Sheesh.

and I'm on/in a vehicle? I just found the admin's motorcycle, started driving it away. He shot at me but missed, so he restarted the server. What happens to me?

Because it was only myself, my friend and him on the server.

no no, he restarted as soon as I drove away after he shot at me.

.

And if I didn't save it?

tl;dr included, don't worry you lazy and/or illiterate fucks! Just scroll down to reveal such pleasure ;] Ahh, love is such a strong word. I rarely use it. But, DayZ is in deservation of such a vocabulary choice. I love this game for numerous reasons, such as: When I see another player somewhere not common- My heart races. I've never known so much tension to occur within seconds. Survival- I'm not speaking with specificity towards the eating/drinking part of it. That's quite easy. What I speak of is other players. Having to survive in a world where you are most likely going to get shot if you are in conflict is amazing. Choices/morality- "Should I shoot this player? Is he/she in deservation of death? What will I gain if I do so? Is there a way around this? Do I NEED to kill him/her?" Those sort of choices that one must make in a matter of seconds add so much to this mod. After playing for a few weeks [my character hadn't been killed], I met up with someone who didn't kill me because I was unarmed [i had given my weapons to a friend who had just started playing]. He had a CZ 550. We were playing for a bit around the coast of Cherno. "Hey, let's go kill some new spawns on the coast. It'll be hilarious," he said. This was when side chat was still on servers. So I went with him and sat while he sniped some guys. But when he killed his third victim, his dead prey posted on side chat the following: "Why did you shoot me, man? I had only just found an enfield... :( I would never do such a thing." It was then that a wave of sadness passed over me; sympathy for the ex enfield-holder. You know what I did? I took the double barrel out of the sniper's [who I was with] backpack and shot him in the skull. Ever since that day, I have never killed a player who didn't deserve to die. Ever since that day, I have acquired 137 "murderer" kills over various characters. That random enfield guy sparked an idea in my mind, and it has stayed ever since. Firefights- I had never played Arma II prior to DayZ. The only FPS games I had played 'recently-before' DayZ/Arma were CoD and Battlefield [which I still play to this day]. I had never experienced true firefights. I must say, they are amazing. The amount and kind of strategic movies and tactics that must be implemented into my course of action is amazing. I have had firefights as of late that have lasted for hours when dealing with other clans [both by myself and with my group]. An immense deal of fun. The penalty of death- It didn't really mean much when I died during my first days of DayZ, because I had such shitty equipment. But now, since I have end-game equipment, it means so much more. Nevertheless, it makes this mod unique [for me]. Hours of gameplay become meaningless [in game] in seconds... The social side- The first person that I had played with for more than three hours was named "Chris". Some random guy who didn't shoot me because I was unarmed. We were crawling through Elektro when we met up. So, we decided to play together. Using direct comms, we went places, encountered murderers and other players, firefights, etc. It was awesome to meet such a cool guy. But then the server shut down and I never saw him again; I never though to add him on Skype/whatever. It made me quite sad, actually. A month ago I met a guy who I trusted by giving him my revolver [even though I only met him], and he didn't shoot me. So also went places, but this time we spoke on Skype. We took my into his group; such a nice offer. He introduced me to some of his friends and we've been playing ever since. Such awesome guys. So thanks, "Nero", if you read this. Of course, there are many other things that I like about this mod, but these are the ones I significantly think of currently. What do you like/love about this mod? tl;dr What do you like/love about this mod?

Teamspeak, Skype, etc. But that is a good idea, nonetheless.

Give me 100 beans and I'll have a video for you, LOL XDDDDDDD Bean me up, Scotty!

Lock away </3

I'm hack free, baby.

Lol, I only put that because I noticed a mod [not sure if you] had stated that they/you liked the Liam Neeson references [in the thread that I'm referring to] and that's why you/they kept the thread unlocked.

If you're solo, only use it if you have a sniper/another military grade weapon for the actual firefight. Myself and another group member carries it around. The thermal scope is fucking brilliant. L85A2 AWS + AS50= epic combination.

No, not removed, but make it so that you can "hide" your heat signature for the L85 players.

This.

Oh boy. Patience is everything. Patience and time. I've had firefights that have lasted over an hour.

Then it must be cured. Weird.

Wipe the hive of everyone's inventory? No, I abhor this idea. I know it may change things, but for the worse.

If you eat/regain blood above that, you'll resume losing blood until the 6k mark. Antibiotics are the only cure.

That's why I refrain from killing players.

A fix for me is changing your quality from what it is to something else [i.e. from high to low].

Or you merely get an AS50 w/ NATO rounds.
