ArrantPath

Thanks for this :) Some helpful information in there.

Hi! I'm ArrantPath, I don't play on a fixed server (largely depends on ping and space available), and I'm friendly. I assume you are, too. However. If you follow me, when I've asked you repeatedly, over both comms. and chat, not too...I will assume you are coming within robbery or hatchet range. I will slash a warning shot. If you keep coming, I will hit you with my hatchet. I won't kill you, but I will incapacitate you. Also, if you kill one of my friends for shits and giggles, and I run across you, I will know who you are. If I get the chance, I'll knock you out in an urban area and let the Zeds know there's a party happening. But I won't personally kill you.

I am friendly. I always ask if you are the same. If I receive no reply, I will carefully come closer, out of weapon range, and wiggle. If no move is made against me, I assume I was out of Comm. range and move a bit closer and try again, lowering my weapon. If the weapon is pointed at me, I back away and leave. Last time I played, I found two guys who were friendly, but couldn't hear me until I was very close. They had really good gear, but they hadn't played for ages and were dying of hunger. I ran to town and got them some beans. When I got back, a third player was killing Zeds with a gun. I thought he was with them, since they weren't panicking, and called out that I'd got them the beans. I joined them, and was about to transfer the beans when the new guy opened fire. I ducked behind a woodshed and watched as my new friends were ruthlessly mowed down. The guy didn't even loot them - just killed them and moved on to the airfield. I guess he didn't see me, because I have no doubt he would have hunted me down. Sad, I looted my poor, dead friends and moved on. Their gear kept me going for a very long time, until a bandit in a ghillie took me down in the woods north of Electro. I'm sorry I couldn't save you, Brian and that other guy.
