A Fallen Hero: Confessions of a Savior turned Murderer

[pilot 13]

I still am a Hero on my public hive character. He's been alive for far too long at this point, but in Namalsk I am a vicious killer, I treat each and every armed player as a hostile combatant with the exception of a few.

It clearly wasn't always this way, and I can easily identify the turning point.

my 5 man crew was spread out over Namalsk, and trying to regroup at Lubjansk, as there was a helicopter there that I was keeping my eye on, and a crew member was repairing. (I was on overwatch with an M16A4 ACOG.) when an attack heli flew over I switched to my SVD camo I had in my bag, and waited, sure enough the heli began to fire on the heli we were repairing. but luckily the gunner was shit, and an m107 shot tore through the heli, and I opened fire with my svd. Needless to say the heli backed off.

I began asking about the m107 shooter in side and someone responded, taking responsibility. He was immediately targeted by the clan piloting the helicopter, and I offered my protection to him, at about this time another member of my crew came into the treeline outside of lubjansk (this guy is still a bit of a pansy when it comes to helicopters so he refused to enter the town) Now we here another heli come by, this time my number three (lets call him Venz) So Venz spots it and calls out its a transport, the other guy with the m107 takes shots anyway (lets call him Meat) and two people parachute out. I switch back to my m16 and tell venz to make visual contact while I get a firing position, He reports that they fire first, even though he clearly didn't have an m107. So he returns fire and I wait for a good time.

Venz takes a hit to the leg and the other guys start moving up, and I pop both, one with a clean headshot and the other with 4 shots on the chest, I patch venz up and finish fixing the chopper, we offer a ride to the crew we wiped out back to their corpses, and pick em up and take them back. and then they killed us all and destroyed the heli before we can even get out.

Easily my fault.

But they betrayed an act of kindness.

It was about here that I realized that other people aren't worth the effort.

"No one else is worth saving"- Our group's motto.

Since this time we have won four firefights, no matter who fired the first shot. and haven't lost a one. Our group numbers have increased to ~7 people. We don't KoS. We shoot on threat. If you pose a threat, we will eliminate the threat. If you are hilariously injured, we'll patch you up and instruct you to run straight for 30 seconds while we GTFO. If you pin us down, you will be the first to do so.

Since our group took this KoT (Kill on Threat) stance we haven't lost a firefight. Sure, we've lost people in firefights, but we always are the last men standing.

Happy hunting.

KOS Kill on sight is my creed.

[pilot 13]

KoS is wasting ammo if you can avoid the conflict to begin with. Killing solitary players (especially on Namalsk) just means you have less bullets for actual THREATS. that guy running with the axe isn't going to catch you, but if you stop and try to shoot him he might get a hit in on you, and you've just wasted valuable med supplies, and if your gun isn't suppressed, well now you have a bunch of invisible bloodsuckers howling at you as you patch up.

Those things are a threat. Those things can kill you quick.

I KOS with an axe. and yes I will catch you. I've never failed in catching someone. I get killed sometimes but I still catch ya. :D

i hav a group of 5 KoS bandits and so far only 3 have died during the last 3 firefights but we welly supply them with our tents full of needed items well hidden to. we have our own bikes, jeeps, and 1 heli. we are loaded with DMR's and AS50's with the exceptional CZ550 and assault rifles which we always keep a M16 in our pack. you fight or are spotted by us you die and we do not accept hackers... we kill them for ruining a game like this. all our stuff is found according to the rules.
