So, I started off in Solnichniy. As I was about to leave the area, I ran saw someone. Neither of us had anything, but I just wanted to make contact. I followed him till he saw me. I held up a high five and he eventually obliged. Then, off he scampered. I, too, left and headed North. As I was running, I felt hot, so I shedded my pants. When I arrived in the factory area, I started looking for food and water (to no avail). However, a different fellow approached me from the direction that I just came from. He too gave me a high five. But this one didn't run off afterwards. So, we sat down and I talked to him. He wouldn't chat back, so I showed him how (/ button). He was still quiet... but then, suddenly, he stood up and backed off. I looked around and saw 3 guys with guns, bullet proof vests, etc. running towards us. I also stood to my feet and held out a high five. They quickly surrounded us and without getting too close. So I just sat back down. Again, nobody said anything (nor typed). They simply dropped some sardines and a RAID vest and left. Neat. Well, I told my new friend that I was heading North if he wanted to join me. Again, he didn't respond but followed me anyway. Somehow, we ended up in Berezino. I don't know how, because I thought we were following the coast. But anyway, as we were scouring the big, tall building on the outskirts of the town, my friend found another player. He made contact and they were attached at the hips. I later caught up with them and the 3 of us scurried through town. Eventually, we lost sight of each other and went in different directions. As I wandered through town, I found some nifty things like a yellow raincoat, a yellow hard hat (there were other head gear things, but I liked the look I was getting), and a small green backpack. That with my no pants and RAID vest, I thought I looked pretty good. I also found two new players. One had a gun and the other had an axe. I tried to high five them, but they kept a respectable distance. I tried to talk with them through chat and a mic. However, they just started to wiggle. I said, "nahhh" and just left. I've had enough of silent players. I made my way North, occasionally running into the last two friendlys. Finally, I found a gun. I was happy. I had no ammo, but at least I had a gun. Then I found some ammo! It wasn't for my gun... but at least I had some ammo. Just as I closed my menu, a new player entered the same room I was in. I was about to put up a high five, but he ran at me and in one hit with his axe, killed me. Damn.
