Alright,so i spawn... I'm not really new to the game,and i know that i'm near Elektro. Its a pretty dark night. I go to the regular spot where i check out the fire depot near the outskirts of elektro. i go in,find an AK74 with one mag, continue onward. as i enter the general store, i hear distant shots. I immediately switch to Direct Comms in hope of me being able to communicate with the guy later on. I finish raiding the store,go into the Hostel. While in the hostel, I hear footsteps. over direct comms, I say: "Hey buddy... Dont be stupid here... You dont want to shoot me,you'll jsut alert the twenty-something zombies around this place.. Just be cool, i'm friendly, I wont shoot. Be reasonable,you know you don't wanna shoot." As i exit the hostel, i see a guy in front of me. i repeat: "Be reasonable,we can just walk away now,no harm done." And so we both went our seperate ways. this is the day i found out i can be a diplomat. Story #2: Me and the luckiest friend i ever had are over skype. We talk, we have some laughs, when he tells me "Oh shit,i'm bleeding! Oh shit,i fainted!" we both panic a bit, since he has an AS50 on him and an L82A2 he has saved up for me. at this point,i'm near stary sobor. the server's a veteran empty server (Nobody goes on veteran DE servers). He gets up, patches himself up. He tells me dreadful news. He's SOMEWHERE near Devil's castle with 1.3K blood. i freak out. cant let my buddy die. not after his 8 crashed helicopter raiding streak. I start panicing a bit. i tell him not to move a muscle,lest he cut himself on a badly placed branch. i start running, all the way trying to calm MYSELF down. "Dont worry man, he wont die,i'm running his way now,we'll meet up,all will be well". i reach Grishino. I'm freaking out,i know i need to find him. i start walking in the direction i THINK is devil's castle. i turn out to be dead wrong. i'm now circling the woods,i have no fucking clue where i am. He throws a flare to try and draw my attention. I dont see a flare,but i AM tripping balls. all the trees seem to be illuminated by a red light now. i start running towards grishino,since i spot its chapel. he tells me to start going up the hill. i do that,and while doing it,find a tractor with some ammo on it. great stuff. I get to devils castle and order him to drop another flare in the direction of devils castle. I suddenly see a bright red light. a brilliant,red light. the light of salvation! we meet up, i patch him up with a blood pack, we trade weapons (my FN FAL with 7-8 mags for his L86A2 with 6 Mags.). it was the best feeling in the world. i've never been this stressed before.
