Karma - A tale of a one-off bandit who has his ar*e handed to him

[BannedOpinion 14]

Hi all, first of all - I don't normally kill people on sight, I was just bored the other night on a server I've forgotten the name off.

Anyway, to the story. It was twilight, and zombies didn't seem to be spawning in Elektro. So I thought I'd simply go and loot then trott of to the wilderness. I went into the supermarket to get some food and water, when I came across another player. He was minding his own business but he picked up the only can of beans in the building. So I shot him, he respawned then warned other players of me - so at this point, I thought everyone is now fair game.

I think I killed about 3 others, possibly one unarmed (Sorry!), but nonetheless; people were angry. And rightly so, which is when about 6-8 of them teamed up and to hunt me down. At this point, I was at the fire station to the north of the city to find any ammo I could, I found an M4A1...but no mags, so decided to head back to the fire station to the west of the city.

VOOLAH! 2 Stanag mags, awesome. I decided now to start sneaking, zeds begun respawning, and there was quite a lot in my vicinity. So I crawled to the school. At this moment, I had no idea where to angry mob was, but only knew they were in the city looking for me, ready to hang, draw then quarter. I was getting some M1911 mag clips on the ground floor when the first shot was fired - it missed, but it was close, so I ran upstairs into one of the class rooms. Another shot fired, but must of been a wild shot, as it was no where near me. At this point, I decided to get ready for a firefight.

It was beginning to get dark, and the zeds were already being aggro'd and running around outside, but I just could not tell if the vigilante squad was waiting for me to exit then kill me, or if they were entering the building. Well, they were doing both. Half the group were on top of the hospital opposite (from my view, 3 or 4 of them) and the rest could be heard on direct comms telling me about how they're going to kill me.

I fired randomly, hoping the sound of an automatic weapon would scare them. It appears it did, as they were no longer heard in the building. But instead, I could hear the sound of smoke grenades. Yes, I was right. And they threw a few around the building so almost every zombie within 100m surrounded the building.

I was thinking, do I go out guns blazing and risk being shot or eaten? Or stand my ground? I decided to go out guns blazing, attracting atleast 15 zombies to chase me. I was running around for atleast 5 minutes. It must have been funny to watch from the hospital, but nonetheless. I was caught up by the zombies, one hit broke a leg and I was bleeding. I inevitably fell unconscious and the zombies munched on me like a feast.

Moral of the story: Don't piss off an organised group, and try to avoid running in circles from zombies.

Karma's a bitch.

Even if justice was served and you got what was coming.. you atleast killed with SOME purpose to it. And by the end, you gave a good, fun evening for the people that had gathered to kill you and you gave them a show I'm sure they'll remember.. in addition to having a blast yourself (I sure would if I had been in that position). You redeemed yourself for being a Bandit that evening. Karma's a bitch, but sometimes she can get you beans. Here, enjoy!

I wish I could figure out why my PC hates fraps, I would have recorded it. Listening to direct comms was hilarious. The whole event was made better by the fact no one raged when they were killed, instead it was an instant "Let's find this arsehole",

I sure won't be doing that again.

And by that, I mean running 'n' shootin'. Survivors can get kicks out of a decent firefight. Just a shame it never evolved into said firefight. Due to my selfishness and pseudo-suicide bid.

And cheers for the beans, if the forums were like ingame, I'd give you a salute.
