9Ball

While this does seem to be the case across the board, I've encountered a few survivors not hell-bent on exterminating the human race. I met a pair yesterday right after I spawned by Balota. They let me in their shelter and gave me a hatchet they weren't using. I killed 87 zeds with that hatchet. While I'm on the subject, to the group in Zrakon that will probably never see this post, I'm sorry I greased your friend, but he shot at me first.

So, after a long day's work I decided to jump back onto DayZ. I'm having a lot of fun, and my wonderful totally not ripped from a dead man's hands Lee Ensfield Zombie Summoning Device (The Zedcaller) and 15 full units of ammo with it is proving to be a real showstopper. When I logged out last I hid in a church (in hindsight, nope.jpg). And lo and behold I load my server, and it completely skips the lobby, dropping me right in front of a bandit, which kills me dead on the spot. Since I wasnt expecting Do Not Stop for Lobby, I was hauling sodas to my fridge, unaware of the plot against me and my LEZ-SD, and then POP POP. I was dead. When I go back to the lobby to respawn... the server kicks me out. Now I dont know where it is and I will not be finding my body, my LEZ-SD and 15 full units of ammunition, nor the spooked bandit that wasted me. Oh well. Time to go North.

Lone Wolf. I've dealt with too many bandits, so I'm pretty jaded on it. But if I run across a group in my travels that mean me no harm, I will definately lend them my services towards a goal. After all, it is expected of Beanbearers.

I'll trade you 1 MILLION EMPTY TIN CANS for such a MTN DEW. No! 2 MILLION!

This morning I saw a Zed regain his soul. I was a ways outside Elektro, by the house where you find a map, looking for a hatchet at the very least. I was just freshly spawned, and my zed hunting senses were tingling. I had to find a hatchet, as it is my weapon of choice for my chosen profession. However, this house had nothing for me save for the map, but as I stealthed in I was spotted! A zed had picked up my trail and was now racing towards me! Alerted, but calm, I dashed into the house and tried to hide behind the table, a plan which the Zed, smart git as he was, came up behind me and started his assault! I managed to evade his attack, and he became stuck on a table. I grabbed the map, the pepsi I almost missed, and planned how to get past this zed without getting chased out of the house. I considered trying to shut the door in his face, risking breaking my legs off in the process, when something strange and wonderful happened. He began to shift, and within seconds he was the black spotter from the Arma 2 campaign (miles I think his name was?) He did not attack me, but simply crawled out of the house with me, and went off unto his own adventure. Then I got shot and killed by a trecherous bandit. Miles, wherever you are, 2: 091115 Unknown Man in Front, my comrade.

Oh! Hello there! You don't look like a bandit, far from it! I am 9Ball, an adherent to the Lord of Beans. Now that I am Russian, I have come to this great land, the birthplace of Zedheads, to seek my very own beans! We are all amidst strange bandits in a strange land. The flow of server connection itself is convoluted, with hackers a decade old porting in and out. The very fabric wavers, and loot spawns shift and obscure. There's no telling how much longer your server and my client will remain in contact. But, use beans, to summon one another as friendlies, cross the gap between the servers, and engage in JOLLY CO-OPERATION. Of course, we are not the only ones logged in on this. But I am a warrior of the beans! Spot my chemlight by it's brilliant aura! If you miss it, you must be blind!
