This is how your story should have read - So I spotted a group of four from far away, about 600M with my binoculars. I went prone and slowly snuck up on them as they cooked refried beans over a campfire. I then used my decked out AKM to smoke 2 of them right off the bat, and gravely wound a third. While the 4th guy is likely still running due north. The end.

Hey a well thought out, non complaining post on these boards. Amazing!

Reverse realtime would be a great option for at least a few servers.

There is a counter to PK'ing in true sandbox style. Last night we formed a posse of around 8 people heavily armed and responded to any reports of bandits in the main chat, we would surround the bldg they were known to be hiding in and swarm it, they may end up getting one of us but the large group would ensure the bandit would die for the better good of the other players on the server. That's the whole point of a sandbox, don't like something change it yourself with a little bit of elbow grease and leadership. Was fun in the process and even the bandits who died enjoyed themselves. Win win. also look at it this way. Bandits carry GREAT loot (one last night had a HE grenade on his person) so they are the best hunting.

when I am sitting in a high vantage point with my sniper rifle, I am not looking for players to kill, but as soon as I see a bandit skin person, I shoot first no questions asked. That's how you deal with bandits. If everyone did the same, people would be much more wary of killing others out of fear of being an outcast.
