So Friday night, my friend Garrett and I have an epic night of crash sites. Steal a URAL, hit the airfield etc... We decide lets look for helicopters! We drive along the mountains aimlessly and eventually spot a couple of cars in the distance! We drive up, start looking at the gear and... BAM BAM, oh crap it isn't empty. (we are dumb) Needless to say we die and lose the UAZ.
I'm pissed, we got greedy and dumb. I run into a bike on my trek North to the URAL and think. You know what, I'm going to go looking for my UAZ. I spend the next 6 hours searching and just about give up. I hear a vehicle in the distance as I'm staring at my map, oh crap! I think I'm spotted and run off. I log in the next morning and decide to check the area I think it was going, JACKPOT! Cars and guns galore!!! I quickly load a small green car up with stuff and take off back to camp and log off happy. I later decide, hmmm I wonder if that was the same group and I didn't search hard enough for my UAZ, I should go look! Log on, it's pitch effing black. Screw it, I don't have a compass but I'm a blood hound I can figure this out. I go running in the general direction, wedge a penny in my keyboard and hope. I eventually find the general area, I break out the flashlight and pray. Eventually, I give up and use some flares I had found earlier. I search for about 15 minutes and find a tractor... I wander the area for 5 or more minutes and... UAZ! I'm thrilled at this point, I grab it and go. I drive for a couple of minutes and decide, I'd rather fuel it up here than run out later. After adding some gas, I save it. I drive off to my camp again high on life. I get to the area of my camp and start looking in this pitch black soup for my URAL, BAM RESET. I spend the next 15 minutes stumbling around looking for my UAZ, nothing. A little voice inside reminds me I refueled the UAZ and saved somewhere in the fields around the damn. If I can find their camp in pitch black I can run into my UAZ again. More penny wedged running, search for 30 minutes bingo. Get it back to camp and I'm thinking I'm the shizzz. I'm super hyped but paranoid. I log in periodically to look at my spoils of war and they are good. Then, my heart sinks. Everything is gone, vanished. Hedgehogs intact. I run around, see that my stupid blue van is still intact and think well crap I better go hide this. Knowing I haven't repaired it much, I try and be careful. This thing has already killed me once when I tapped a tree at 2 mph. I'm driving, searching for a place to hide and... tree. I fall out die. FML
About to quit the game and say screw it I decide I should at least run to my body and recover my gear. I run for another 30 minutes and get back in the area, hit up the bus we left out somewhere else and it's tires are shot out and a tree seems to be knocked over. I find an M14 AIM and decide to head to my body. I hear the flies and see the two M4's and some ammo I was holding for friends but no AS50 or ghillie. Thinking it only saved the items in my backpack I decide to transfer them back to the bus. I drop the M14 and start carrying back the guns. I'm going back for the M14 when I catch movement out of the corner of my eyes... I'm close to the M14 now, I could probably run for it. No, I'm going to see if this is the group I took the car from (and UAZ I'll call mine). I run up to him he shouts "Don't move", I decide to at least duck behind a tree. He walks up and says, let me check yout backpack. Not having many options, I stand there stupid. He says "What's your name bud". I say, "Are you the guys we've been trading vehicles with?". He replies "I'm the guy that blew up your vehicles". POP POP POP
As I lay dead I respond with the only thought that came to mind, "Oh, ok...." I prompty log off and go to bed. Eff this game. Glad I could make someones day, I appreciate a good case of Schadenfreude.
My question, why in the heck would you take that stupid green car over a URAL or UAZ?!?! Oh and apparently I'm an addict, my bad night ended with me still logging on looking for beans when I woke up. Man I'm stupid.
