Rebellion (DayZ)

I was having problems too, but found two "piles" after reading this thread http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7021/lootk.jpg The top-most one was literally inside the wall. Hope that helps someone ^^

I had fun tonight! I forgot about the whole night thing, so I just joined a random swedish server and decided to stick with default lightning and see what it's like, it was scary as hell :) (and fun) For reference, this was my second survived day So there I was, lost in a pitch black forest with only the flashlight as a light source (I do have some chemical lights, but can't figure out how to use them) I wandered around for about fifteen minutes until I spotted a transmission tower (electricity pylon), and decided to go in it's general direction as my hunger was starting to slip into the red, I was also sending out a chat message saying I was friendly and looking to trade for some food. (Although I have no idea how the direct comm works ;/) Eventually I came out onto a field (I think), and accidentally shone my flashlight on a zombie that decided I looked yummy. (I think there may have been a house nearby as I saw some rural fences) Naturally I didn't fancy taking my chances swinging a hatchet around in the dark and HOPING I hit the zombie. (Think I had about 8000 blood) I decided to bravely run away, but suddenly bullets came flying hitting the ground and I just picked a random direction and started running, with the zombie still breathing down my neck. It didn't take long for the gunman to take down the zombie, but as I expected the bullets didn't stop coming, so for an intense minute or two I ran like a madman, slowly being whittled down by lucky shots. I collapsed in the middle of the field and fainted (I think? the hourglass thing came onscreen) and after getting back up, I remained completely still for a few seconds before seeing that my blood was getting dangerously low, so I risked using a bandage at 800 blood and managed to stop the bleeding, I then went prone and waited for a long minute to see if my luck had ran out. Luckily it hadn't! After getting no reply on my chat messages, I began crawling away towards what I hoped was a city I could see in the skyline. After fainting several times on the way, I started to hear the noise of zombies all around me, I didn't dare use the flashlight since the field and barely managed to avoid them unless my ears were deceiving me(although not sure how their aggro works at night, but better safe than sorry!) I somehow managed to crawl into the city proper, and at this point I decided to up the brightness and gamma so I could see something at least. I heard the buzzing of flies, and saw one of the open houses, first I checked a few corpses, they had unfortunately been picked clean, then entered the house and to my great delight I found a can of food! No starvation for me! \o/ Other than that, I only found some ammo. :( So currently I have no idea where I am, I barely have enough blood to have a nosebleed, I have no food and no water and my only weapon against the hordes of zombies, bandits and paranoid survivors is a hatchet! \o/ This game is AWESOME! :D (Not sarcasm...) I have a question though, when I login next time, it does say the name of the current nearest city/village/whatever in the bottom right right?
