Surviving, gathering items to defend myself, running from zombies, shooting zombies, hiding from the bandits that are intent on just killing everyone because they're so angry at the world
Thanks guys! Was trying to be friendly and just make myself known. So far everyone's been pretty nice save the unknown bandits whose sights I've happened to unwittingly wander into.
Hello DayZ community, just stopping in to introduce myself to everyone and say hello and such. I've been playing DayZ for a little while now and decided to pop onto the forums. A little about myself, I'm usually running on the .:vvv:. server and I run around as more of helper than a bandit or combatant. Usually I seem to be one of the first one to be killed by bandits in my group though I'm not the first one to be seen which has been interesting thus far. Zombies ... are not our friends as after the first 2-3 lives I had my attempts to make peace with their kind ended in disaster. I imagine that I was a tasty snack for them and hopefully they finished all of it. The last couple of lives I have managed to find an enormous amount of soda but I imagine the bandits have gorged themselves on all of it by now. I can be identified by the red chem-lights that I have begun to carry with me and I do not fire on anyone unless fired upon first. Nice to meet everyone and if you ever see any red chem-lights out there I might have tossed them at zombies in the vain hope of teaching them to communicate via light Morse code. ~FM Bailey~
